Stilcidu to End Ills Troubles*. Last Saturday a handsome and well dressed man entered the Bristol House, Wilkes-Barre, and registered as 11. Brown, Kansas City. He acted in a gentlemanly munner nnd retired rather early on Monday night. The next morning the clerk detected a peculiar odor, the door was broken open and tbe man was found dead. On his person was found a bunch of keys and eleven cents. It is thought he was in trouble and was too proud to ask assistance. On a piece of paper lying on a stand in the roqm was the words: "Am a Mason and an Odd Fellow." Beside the bed was a box containing morphine. The man yesterday was identified. His name Howard Brader and he was horn and brought up in Wilkes-Barre. He leaves a wife and one child in Cart hage, Mo. MrH. Hunker and a Cow. From Today's Speaker. Mrs. George Hanker, of Harleigb, narrowly escaped being gored to death by a maddened cow yesterday. The animal strayed into a field where Mrs. Hanker's cow was grazing a short distance from the house. The woman was engaged in the kitchen when she discovered the animal in her field. The dog was sent to drive the animal out of the field, but Mrs. Hanker seeing that the dog failed to drive it off, decided to dp it herself. After getting within the enclosure she had not advanced very far when the animal dashed for her. The woman ran for the gate but she barely reached it when the infuriated animal caught her on its horns and tossed her over the fence. Being unhurt, Mrs. Hanker again entered the field, determined to drive the cow from the pasture. When the cow again cuught sight of her red dress it became wild and raced for the woman, head down. The latter ran into a house on the opposite side of the road which was being constructed. The crazy animal did not stop at the door, however, but rushed in. The woman, thoroughly frightened, crouched into a corner beneath the staircase. The brute was unable to reach her here, but tramped and tore at the structure which threatened to give away. Fortunately a carpenter, who was on the roof at the time, heard the women's screams in time to save her life. Meeting of Lutheran Patitora. The monthly meeting of the Lutheran Paßtoral Association of the Upper Le high Valley was held on Monday at the residence of Rev. E. A. Bauer, Lehigh ton. The ministers present were: Revs. H. H.

Lindenstruth, Mauch Chunk. Two sermons based on' Matthew 12:30, were discussed by Revs. Kuntz and Brunig. Then followed the reading of Malachi, chapter 4, in Hebrew, with grammatical and exegetiesl remarks. In the afternoon Rev. Kuntz read a fine paper on the Levites. The remain der of the time was occupied with the serious consideration of the Sunday question in all its various bearings. Rev. Brunig presented a carefully pre pared paper on that subject. The next meeting will be held November 6 at White Haven. Six Men ISurned by Gas. An explosion of gas occurred in the Columbia colliery at Duryea, near Pitts ton, on Monday, injuring six men, two of whom may die.

It is estimated that over 7,000 men and boys were in line, and the demonstra tion was in every way a very creditable showing for the temperance people of northeastern Pennsylvania. The lower end societies turned out strong, and with their good music took a prominent part. The weather was perfect, and the 103 d anniversary of the birth of Father Matthew, the apOßtle of temperance, was fittingly observed. ■ KcfiiMoil to TranHport a CorpHe. Leander R. Austin died in Allentown of typhoid fever and his family, in order to fulfill a desire of tbe dead man, ar ranged to have the body interred at Mainsburg, Tioga county, the birthplace of the deceased.
