Benner has been elected pastor of the Reformed Church at Free land. He was pastor of a charge in Berks county, which it is said he resign ed because there wasn't enough to do. If it is work he wants he can he aceom . modated at Freeland.— Mauch Chunk Timet. A IlaiigeruuH Place to Swim. Several miraculous escapes from drowning have been reported from one of the caveins of the old Woodside slope, w here a number of the young men and hoys of Drifton and Freeland go in bath ing. The cavein is very large and deep, and its treacherous sides should be enough to warn all but expert swimmers front venturing in, but the place is crowded every day. One young man became exhausted yesterday and had a narrow escape from drowning both him self and another who tried to rescue him. They were pulled out by a third companion. A New Kind of a Cow. The Oregonian, a newspaper printed on the Pacific coast, tells of a cow which would certainly he ingreart demand by some people here. The animal, it says, puzzles the medical fraternity by giving beer instead of milk. It seems that last summer the hop-picking Indians fed her <m hops, and since then she has declined all other kind of food. The owner's inilk customers now find that they are getting beer instead of milk, and one well known temperance man has shock- J the susceptibilities of the community d V |,y arrving at morning service on Sunday in an intoxicated condition. Rev. Henry A. I. Benner. The following is a short biography of the newly elected pastor of St. John's Reformed congregation: Rev. Henry A. I. Benner, who has written a letter of acceptance in answer to the call ex tended him from this congregation, hails from Lehigh county, near Allentown, I'a. He is the fourth of a large family of T. W. Benner, a veteran organist and teacher, was born in New Hanover Township, Montgomery county, l'a., March 14, 18011. When four years old his school life began and though his parents were anything but rich he mana ged to stick to his books and at the age of sixteen he passed a very creditable examination under the county superten dent, receiving a certificate of 14 J. This was the means of getting a school, which was followed by other terms for eight years. In 1884 he graduated from the Kutztown state normal school and in 1880 resumed his studies there in the same institution in the scientific course; became principal of Kmaus high school; then entered Ursimus college, College ville, and graduated there in 1880. While in college he joined the "Stu dents Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions," pledging himself to the foreign field, Gou willing. lie entered the theological Beminary of Ursimus college, completed the curriculum of studies, was examined and licensed by Lehigh classis on May 24, 1891. The same month he was elected and called to the pastorate of Hill charge, Berks county, where he was regularly ordained and installed pastor, and where he is at present serving. He hopes to finish his work there with the close of the summer season, when his class of catechumens are confirmed. His labors at Freeland will then engage his entire attention. Rev. Benner is a tireless, persistent worker; the very embodiment of energy and zeal for the good of his constituents. His helpful wife and little daughter will he aipiisitions to Freeland's best society. S. The New Ballot Law. The attention of our readers to-day is called to the new ballot law, which is printed on the second and fourth pages of this issue. It is something that even the most intelligent voters do not yet thoroughly understand, and it is to the interest of every citizen to make himself thoroughly conversant with its details, ill order that he may not only be able to vote correctly but that he may be quali fied to explain to others the most impor tant changes from the methods hereto fore used. The new law is not by any means what is known as the Australian system, although it is generally called by that name. It is a very pour imita tion of a good secret ballot law, and is filled with several suspicious holes, but it is as good as could be expected from the party that had control of the legis lature when it passed. Still, whether good or bad it is now the law, and the more it is studied the less number of votes will be thrown out as illegal on election day. OfticerH of the lliirugarJ. The sessions of the state grand lodge of the Harugari, which were held at Pottsville, concluded by electing the following officers: Granil Bard, A. W. Schalick; denuty grand bard, William Ilaber, grand secretary, Louis Stoergen; grand treasurer, Christ Staehle.

W. Rosenthal, of Reading, and Louis Stoffregen, of Pottsville, were elected delegates to the United States grand lodge, which will meet at New Haven next month. Pittsburg was se lected as the for holding the next an nual session. Announcement- of Coining UventH. Picnic of Parishioners of Eckley Catholic Church, Eckley Grove, Au gust 13.

The Big Black Creek Improvement Company, which is controlled by Marklc A Co., of Jeddo, whose property lies in Hazle township, has entered suit in Philadelphia to recover large sums of money from M. S. Kemmerer, claimed to be due under the lease and contract, including SIIOOO for a coal breaker, $9200 for miners' houses and a store, $55,750 for rental at the rate of $14,000 a year. It is also charged that the lessee pgreed to keep the mines, which are located at llarleigh, free from water, so that coal could bo taken continually from them, but that dnrihg the years 1886-7-8-9 he allowed the mines to fill with water, so that it is impossible to mine coal there from. The Snake Hecoril Broken. Unless White Haven's snake killers look to their laurels soon the annual pre mium must be awarded to the Associ ated Press reporter of Shamokin. The latter told the following story in the city papers a few days ago: A blacksnake nine feet long that came to the slaughter house to drink blood, attacked William Hill, a butcher, of Roaring Creek valley. The monstrous reptile wrapped itself about Hill and began to tighten its awful coils. The butcher made frantic efforts to cut the snake in two with his jackknife. When almost fainting with the terrible pain and fear, llill jabbed his knife in the snake's head and killed it. When Baby waa sick, we gave her Castoria.' When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, sho gave them Castoria. FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA OUR LIVELY SUBURBS.

"Where does the authority of the bos ses under Coxe Bros. A Co. end?" is a question that is worthy of consideration at the present time. Flection is drawing nigh, and several want to know if we must be hounded in this campaign as we havo been for several years past? While they make very good bosses for the company they never will he successful as political bosses and should be turned down immediately by those having the power to do so. Not another town in the coal fields issoboss-riden as this one. The little authority possessed by some is used witli a vengeance wherever an op portunity arises. From the small dude around the store up to the great mogul, all take great pleasure in wielding their authority in politics. That they have rights is not disputed, but to be driven in politics the same as when at work, will be stood no longer by the voters of the two districts here. We hopo these gentlemen will have sense enough to let up on this business as it will only result in disaster to ttieir fondest wishes if continued. Since the summer months set in it has become quite a pastime among a small army of small boyß to congregate near the Valley depot and jump off and on passing trains. On Saturday evening they were there and several of them were nearly killed. It is useless for the train men to speak to them, and to have them arrested would not please their parents, hut to see them getting killed, or starting life at this early age witti a leg or an arm off would be too had. Such, however, will be the end, if it is not stopped. Thomas Melly, of Lansford, arrived here on Saturday to spend a few days witli friends. A farewell party was held on Thurs day evening at the old hospital. It was well attended anil a good time was had by all. Frank Blake and wife, of Bristol, are here on a short vacation among friends. Peter F. Gallagher (Deepy), who iias been for some time in West Virginia, was here among friends last week. Frank Higgins, who liaß been seriously ill, is slowly recovering. Henry Ilartig, who has long been a resident here, will leave the employ of Coxe Bros. & Co. and engage in the in surance business. Charles Gallagher was injured in No. 1 on Friday by being squeezed between cars. llenry Burns, of Wilkes-Barre, is visiting friends here fo.' a few days. On Saturday a few ot the boys began pitching pennies and kept it up until sl7 was at stake around the hob. By a strokeof extra good luck llenry Kennedy won the pot. J. J. McCarthy and family were visit ing friends in Hazleton yesterday. D. J. Williams, formerly of this city, now of Drifton, is vißiting at the home of his parents on Green street for a few days.— Nanticoke News. William Baskin and wife returned from their wedding tour on Saturday. On Saturday a bearing was held here in the Ha/.le township auditor's contest. About twenty-live witnesses were su puuied to appear before Messrs. McCart ney and McGahren, who were taking testimoney in the case. It lias been well known for several months that Mr. Morris has been urged to make this con test, and the matter of expense would bo Binall in comparison to the good would be done by ousting Brislin. It is plain to everybody that Mr. Morris has more sense than to spend from S3OO to S6OO for an office that is worth only about S2O, yet this contest will not fall much short of it. Of late years an auditor without the courage of his convictions is a valuable man in this and surround ing townships, and as Brislin is a man who could not bo induced to do but that which is right, it is no surprise that from S3OO to S6OO should be spent to get rid of him. HIGHLAND DOTS. Clias. McGill, who has been spending a few weeks here with his parents, re turned to Wilkes-Barre again. Thomas J. Boyle is one of the most industrious men in the town and for a young married man beats anything we ever saw. All his spare moments lie devotes to painting and beautifying his residence. James Quinn, who had his foot hurt here some time ago, lias commenced work again. A card bearing the inscription "Hazle ton Portrait Company, Markle's Bank Building, Second Floor," wi.s handed to ns last week by a lady who considers she was duned. This firm has or had an agent who promised that upon the payment of fifty cents and a small photograph he would have the latter enlarged to any size, providing a frame was bought for it at the studio, the frame to cost from $2.00 up. The agent, pic ture and fifty cents left this place on April 20, and has been missing since. Ten days is the time specified on the card to call and select a frame. A few weeks ago the lady called at the studio and was surprised when the artful man failed to produce the por- trait or the photo. She became indig nant and threatened to have him arrest ed, then he said the agent had skipped by the fastest train on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, but they had caught him and he was now serving time for the offense. Ho further explained that thirteen photo's and as many more half-dollars was the amount Johnson, the agent, ran away with and it would not occur again. In a few weeks we expect to see this concern exposed, as the lady iB deter mined to have the company arrested, for she is of the opinion this business is only carried on in the mining towns where the people are considered too poor to have them arrested. James Costello, of Lattimer, who is seeking political honors, was here last week looking up iiis chances. Jim is a good fellow, but that is not counted in politics in this town. The breakers have been suspended ' for three days last week. The young people of this place are happy. A new orchestra has been or- 1 ganized here and it is prepared to fur nish music of any description. It will be ' known as McCann & Boyle's and is , open at all times for engagements. ( This has been a very active season in i the huckleberry business. Now the I women may be heard discussing black- • berries—where and how they may he had in abundance. JEDDO NEWS. < One of the grandest events of the sea- > son took place in Oakdale last week, i The boys and girls had been preparing ' for a week and when it came they en- i joyed it immensly.

Testimony was taken in the auditor's contest on Friday. Misses Winnie and Maggie Muuday, of New York City, are visiting friends here. Abacadabra, a word that was fre quently used by the ancients, but for centuries lias been obselete, has been brought into use again. It was un earthed in the vicinity of Lattimer and is very common here at present. One of our boys who is very fond of tokens, which he takes from It is lady friends at every opportunity, was seen wending his way, lantern in hand, one night last week in search of a costly token he had lost on the road between Drifton and here. After searching for three hours he returned disgusted. 11c since explained it was a ring, valued at $lO, hut the young lady says she drew it in a five-cent prize package. How is it, F ?

The 'farriers held their regular meet-> ing in the usual place on Saturday even- j ing. After the opening ceremonies busi ness was begun with the Jigger in the i chair. The secretary, after reading the minutes of the previous meeting, read a telegram from Sunbury stating that the j committee sent to Homestead were in j jail at that place for stealing passage on a freight train. A motion was madu to notify the governor of the case and have , I the Ninth regiment protect them until | they return. It was carried. A motion j was made that the member who is going to Scotland ho instructed to organize a branch of the club across the water. The Blizzard objected, and the motion was laid over.

At this juncture of the meeting two hoys came to the door and said the grand tarrier had been all day on the turnpike below Charley Murrin's flagging wagons with a lantern, but had left there and started for Freeland to clean out the bor ough police force. This caused the meeting to adjourn in haste and go in search of tlio unruly member. BASE BALL NOTES. The Cuban Giauts on Friday met what might be expected by any club that risks its reputation and the lives of its players by giving an exiiibition at Jeanesville. They were defeated, or robbed rather, by a score of Bto 7. From the accounts of those who witnessed the game the treatment given the colored men was simply disgraceful, and would not be tolerated in another town in the state. The umpire was Mayer, one of the Jeanesville players, and the Giants gave him the credit of being the rankest they ever met. Even the Speaker, which generally stands up for Jeanesville, right or wrong, says "the Jeanesville boys cannot defeat them in a game where fairness only exists." Grant, of the Cuban Giants, won on Friday the standing prize of $5 and a silk hat for knocking the first fly ball over the centre field fence at Jeanesville. The Tigers and several of their friends went to Silver Brook yesterday, and were defeated by a score of 14 to 10. The game was poorly-played by both teams, owing to the "condition of the ball field. The batteries were Brislin and Gaffncy and the Ward brothers. Silver Brook has a strong club this season, being strengthened by Joe Mc- Geady and John McGarvcy, who are working there. A large crowd of people witnessed the game between the Weatherly hoys and the Fearnots at Drifton yesterday. It was a poorly contested game, the Wea therly hoys being no match for the Fear nots. The score was 21 to 7in favor of the home team. In order to catch a train the Cuban Giants left Lansford at the end of the ninth inning on Saturday. The score stood 4 to 4. Jeanesville defeated Mahanoy City on Saturday, 13 to 2. Silver Brook will play the Tigers a return game on Sunday at the park. AHttaulted Last Kiglit. While Jerry McCarty, of Freeland, and Frank Gillespie, of Drifton, were talking a walk last evening below the Lehigh Valley depot, they met Andrew Ukas, a Hungarian of Highland, with two large stones in his hand, lie was looking for some person who had struck him. The boys asked him if it was them. He said no, and at the same time knocked McCarty down with one of the stones, cutting a deep gaslt in his forehead in which two stitches had to be sewed. Gillespie escaped witli a slight knock on the head, and ttie Hun disappeared in the direction of Iligh lanc, but will probably be arrested. Killed the Hon.. George Betner, who was arreeted last Monday for driving an "oil train," was in a hurry to deliver another load of juice to his thirsty customers about 9 o'clock Saturday evening, and while going down Centre street at a rapid rate he drove over the culvert at the Lehigh Valles crossing. The horse fell and during its struggles to rise the shaft broke and penetrated the body of the animal several inches. The buckhoard and its cargo was quickly run up an alley, and after walking a few yads the horse dropped and died. A Society's Quod Showing. Miss Sarah Ward, of Leviston, has been elected delegate to the twenty fourth annual convention of the I. C. B. U., which assembles in Toledo, Ohio, on August 18 and 19. She will represent the young ladies' branch of Beaver Meadow which was admitted last month. It was organized last August after the Scranton convention and their success is plainly shown by sending a delegate snch a long distance. Rfllensed on Hail. Councilman Frank DePierro, who was arrested in connection with the murder of a Hungarian at Tomhicken, was re leased under SIOOO bail by Judge Rice on Friday. He will be given a habeas corpus hearing on Wednesday. The other alleged accessories, Frank Ducci and Frank Antonia, and the murderer, Carmen Ducci, were held fortrial. Hnthering Pretty Pond Lllllcg.

On Saturday a horse belonging to a Mr. Heller, of Dorrance, took fright near the top of the steep hill going down into Butler valley and ran into a large tree, breaking the buggy, throwing out the. occupants, a young lady aifd young man. Both were thrown to the ground with violence, but fortunately neither were seriously injured beyond a few bruises. The horse was so badly hurt that it died soon afterwards.

Great Preparations living Made by the i Catholics of tlie Seriiiiton Iliocese—A ; rurae of SIO,OOO to In- Presented to the Hisliop. The fiftieth anniversary of the ordina tion of lit. Rev. William O'Maru, bishop of the Scranton diocese, will lie ap propriately celebrated by the Catholic clergy and laymen. The affair is in charge of a committee appointed last April by the priests, and active work for the event has begun. In the churches yesterday a circular wasread from Vicar General Finnan, of Pittston, setting forth the preliminary details of tlie anniver sary, which will take place at Scranton 011 Wednesday, December 21, 1892. One of the leading features 011 that day will be the presentat ion to the bishop of a purse of $15,000. The money is to he given voluntarily by the parishes, and will be divided according to their wealth and membership. The amount to be subscribed by the parish here, St. Ann's, is S3OO, and will be collected between now and the latter part of September. It is certain that the affair will be conducted on a grand scale, as a golden jubilee of an ordination is a yery rare occurrence. Rev. William O'Hara was born in 1810, is a native of county Den y, Ireland, and came to this country with his parents in 1820. They took up their residence in Philadelphia, and sent their son to a select school until he was ready to enter Georgetown college, lie felt called to the ministry at the age of sixteen and was sent to Rome by Bishop Kenrick, where he remained eleven years, pur suing a thorough course of studies in the Urban college of the propaganda. After his ordination on December 21, 1842, he was for thirteen years pastor of St. Pat rick's church, Philadelphia, and for many years rector and professor in the seminary. In 1800 he was appointed by Bishop Wood vicar general. When the diocese of Scranton was set off in 1808 ho was elected the first bishop, and was consecrated July 12 of that year. The diocese, through his untiring zeal, has attained a flourishing condition. The bishop is the fortunate possessor of the friendship and good will of all denomina tions, and his administration lias often been commented upon by those not of his faith as a model one and worthy of imitation.
