QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
4 REV. M. J. FALLIHEE HAS SERVED
THAT TIME AS A PRIEST.
Itiiof Sketch of the Pastor of St. Ann's
Koitinn Catholic Church—Today Is the
T wen ty. lift It Anniversary of His Ordi
nation to the Priesthood.
Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the ordination to the priesthood of
Rev. M. J. Fallihee, pastor of St. Ann's
Roman Catholic church. In accordance
with the expressed wishes of the pastor,
there will be no demonstration or public
observance of the occasion. The mem
bers of the congregation were very anx
ious to show their appreciation of the
work done in this vicinity by the priest,
but Rev. Fallihee does not court no
toriety or honors and at his special re
quest the silver jubilee, as such events
are termed, will pass by without the
celebration the congregation had been
quietly arranging for. There was some
disappointment at the determined stand
taken by the pastor in refusing to al
low the anniversary to be properly hon
ored, because the members of his con
gregation felt that his earnest and active !
work in their behalf for nearly twenty- j
five years was of such a sacrificing)
character that it would appear ungrate- j
ful on their part if they did not do [
something to show to him the respect j
and esteem which he has so well earn- |
ed. The wishes of the priest, however,
were allowed to prevail, and the con-'
gregation reluctantly consented to fore-'
go the pleasure it would have in honor
ing him in the manner intended.
The following is a brief sketch of the
life of the pastor:
Rev. Michael J. Fallihee is a native of
Susquehanna county, Pa., having been
born near Friendsville on Tuesday, Au
gust 15, 1544. The early part of his life
was spent on the farm of his parents,
during which time he attended the com- j
mon schools of the neighborhood. Later j
on he attended St. Joseph's college, '
(Jhoconut, Pa., and then went to St.
Joseph's university, Ottawa, Canada,
where he spent one year. Leaving there )
he attended Niagara university, Niagara, 1
New York, where his progress with his
studies was as rapid as at the former in- J
stitutious he attended. From the Ni-:
agara university he went to St. Charles'
seminary, Philadelphia, to study philo-1
sophy and theology, and by devoting
himself entirely to his work be succeed-1
ed in graduating in the class of 1869.
On September 17, of the same year, he j
was ordained a priest by Rt. Rev. Wil
liam O'Hara at Scranton.
$( After his ordination Rev. Fallihee was
stationed at the cathedral in Scranton I
for a few months, then he was transferred
to the Eckley parish as assistant to j
Father Mullen, who died shortly after '
hiß arrival The Eckley parish at that 1
time included all the territory which is j
now in Foster, Denison and Butler town-!
ships, Freeland and Jeddo boroughs, j
and the towns of Drifton, Oakdale and !
Japan in Hassle township. Shortly af
terward the parish was divided by form
ing a new one at White Ilaven with}
Denison and part of Foster townships, j
with Father Bergraft in charge. Until
1871 he held services occasionally at Up- I
per Lehigh and also at Freeland, the old 1
Wooilside school houso serving as a
, place of worship for the people of this 1
*. 1 side.
ft 7 In 1870, Hon. Eckley 15. Coxe donated
jfk six acres of land in 1 lazle township,
about half a mile from Freeland, to the
Y, congregation, and in 1885 he made an
additional donation of six acres. In
1871, St. Ann's church was built under
Father Fallihee's supervision, but he
still resided at Eckley until 1881, when
the pastoral residence here was com
pleted and the parish was divided again,
Father Brehony succeeding him at
M Eckley as pastor for that town, llazle
Brook, Sandy Run and Sandy valley.
In 1884, the convent building was
erected and placed in charge of the
■Sisters of Mercy, and in 1880 the schools
were opened. They now have an aver
age attendance of over 400 pupils and
"'iSL- '" lve m®de great progress under the
guidance of the pastor and the teachers.
IThe building, like the church and the
, pastoral residence, is large and well
suited for the purposes required.
4L Rev. F'allihec has been an unceasing
and tireless worker for his congrega
™ tion, and by his foresight and judg-
Y. inent has kept his parish thoroughly
} organized and active, making it one of
the best in the Scranton diocese. Al
though of a retiring disposition he is ever
. watchful of the interests of his congre
y gat ion and allows no opportunities to
pass that plight be used to advance the
members, intellectually and religiously.
Under his supervision there are in the
parish three tcmperanc societies, a cadet
temperance society, three beneficial so-
Sfij,:.' cieties, and sodalities for the young
ladies and men, also for the boys and
c , girls.
In his work he has the support of not
J only the members of his own denomina-
tion, but of the people of the community,
who recognize that his sacrifices and
labors are for the benefit of all. lie is
ably assisted at present by his curate,
Rev. Edward A. O'Reilly.
The value of the church property over
which Rev. Fallihee has charge is esti
mated at $35,000. The congregation
numbers about 2,200 over nine years of
age, living in Freeland, Drifton, Upper
Lehigh, Highland, South Heberton,
Jeddo, Japan Oakdale and Butlar val
ley. He also has limited supervision
over the churches and congregations of
St. Kasimer's Polish, St. John's Slavon
ian and St. Mary's Greek churches.
Rev. Fallihee's parents are both dead.
One brother, Rev. Matthew F. Fallihee,
is pastor of a church at Arlington, Illi
nois, and another, Jonn, resides near
Scranton. One sister is the wife of
Thomas Campbell, of Freeland, and two
others are married and reside at Scran
ton.
JEDDO NEWS.
The many friends of Daniel Marley
were agreeably surprised on Friday to
learn of that gentleman's promotion to
assistant mine superintendent of Markle
A Co.'s collieries. Mr. Marley has filled
the position of inside mine foreman at
No. 5 colliery, since its opening, with
satisfaction to his superiors and to the
miners, and it is the general opinion
that no better selection could be made
for this position. With the completion
of the Jeddo tunnel the mining opera
tions of Markle & Co. will be conducted
on a larger scale, including the mines of
Harleigh and Ebervale, and the dutieß
of Superintendent Dunkerly would be
too great to be attended to by one person.
In Mr. Marley he will find an able as
sistant, a young man who has labored
hard for the knowledge of mining affairs
that he possesses, and that he will prove
as successful in his new field as he has
in the positions heretofore held is the
wish of all his friends.
Thomas Young, of Highland, has been
selected to till the position vacated by
Foreman Marley's promotion. The gen
tleman comes well recommended.
Work at the stripping has not been
steady during the past three weeks ow
ing to the scarcity of water, and the
recent rain was welcomed.
The Japan houses are undergoing a
complete overhauling, and those that
are finished have a neat appearance out
side. It is expected to have tenants in
every house in the town by January 1.
DRIFTON ITEMS.
Andrew Brislin, who has been suffer
ing from blood poisoning, caused by a
small cut on the band, is now slowly re
covering.
Louis Jones, an employe of the foun
dry, had his right arm badly gashed
while at work on Friday afternoon.
Miss Lizzie Hanlon, of Mahanoy City,
iB a visitor here this week.
Deadly weapons are carried by a num
ber of the residents of this place and
they are altogether unnecessary.
An Austrian who was walking the
trolley track between here and Freeland
became angry yesterday when be had to
get off the road to let a car pass. Some
of the passengers laughed at his discom
fiture, then he followed the car with a
huge knife but fortunately failed to
catch it.
The picnic of the Hustlers on Satur
day evening drew a large crowd to town
and the park was filled with a merry
crowd who amused themselves in several
ways. The boys feel very thankful to
the public for its patronage upon their
first appearance in this line.
BASE BALL POINTS.
Yesterday afternoon the Fearnots won
from Lattimer by a score of 12 to 5.
l'from and Wilner did the battery work
for the visiting club, while O'Donnell
and McGeehan filled the points for the
Fearnots. The Lattimer club played a
poor game and was defeated with ease.
The Drifton Hustlers and Hazleton
I Universale played at Drifton on Satur
! day afternoon. The game was well
' played and was won by the Hustlers,

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1894.
VERY QUICK WORK.
A Scranton Woman Is Divorced, Married
aii<l Widowed in One Day.
From Scranton comes an account of a
woman that was divorced at 10 o'elock
in the morning, married at noon and
widowed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of
Monday last. This is a record of ming
ling connubial smiles and tears that is
seldom paralelled. The woman, Mrs.
Mary McQuade, was first married in
Scranton in 1889, her maiden name being
Behrens, and her home Wilkes-Barre.
Three years later her husband deserted
her, and with her child she was forced
to support hersulf. Where her husband
went has never been ascertained. The
lonely wife went back to Scranton and
found work in a dining room.
She met W. H. Thompson, the pub
lisher of the Industrial News and chair
man of the Lackawanna county Populist
committee. Rapidly they became warm
friends, and then the chairman began to
woo the deserted wife. In the mean
time Mrs. McQuade had applied for a
divorce, but her application seemed to
lag in the court.
At this critical juncture Thompson fell
ill, and his sweetheart endeavored to
nurse him back to health. She promis
ed to marry him as soon as she secured
her divorce. The lovor felt his life
rapidly sipping away. Mrs. McQuade
on Monday made another appeal for her
divorce and the decree was grunted at
10 o'clock that morning. A friend of
Thompson's secured the necessary mar
riage license and summoned a preacher,
who married them as speedily as possi
ble.
The excitement caused by the pro
ceeding and the yielding of his hope
after his great desire had been fulfilled
seemed to hasten the end, and Thomp
son sank rapidly. He was a husband
just three hours and then he died. Mrs.
Thompson was a widow. She was a wife
long enough, howeyer, to become enti
tled to Thompson's property, which he
bequeathed to her by will,
THE PASSING SHOW.
Sam Boyd In the Willtos-Bariu Newsdealer.
A young man with a history is John
R. Wagner, one of the many able men
who is in the service of Eckley B. Coxe,
and who made up one of the passing
show yesterday. He iB said to be one of
the best chemists in America and is a
frequent contributor to the higher class
technical journals, and his subjects al
ways command attention. Mr. Coxe
discovered tbe young man in Beth
lehem, where he was working his way
through college. When he graduated
with honors, for that kind of a young
man always graduates with honors, he
came to Drifton and hegan work in the
machine shop, not as a boss, but aßa
common laborer, Mr. Coxe, with the
shrewdness characteristic of him, kept
his eye on the young man, and when he
saw the right material was in him, help
ed him along. Slowly but steadily lie
went up until he was placed in charge of
the laboratory of Mr. Coxe. In many
important experiments his work and
knowledge was put to the test and was
strikingly shown in the tests made look
ing to the utilization of culm. Mr. Wag
ner haß a very bright future before him,
and we believe he is destined to take
very high rank in chemical research.
John M. Carr, formerly of this city,
but now a lawyer with a large and grow
ing practice at Freeland, was here yes
terday in relation to some suits. There is
considerable talk that he will be made
assistant district attorney in the event of
Dan Fell's election, but he appeared to
have no knowledge of the gossip, or if
he did was not building very high hopes
on it. We don't think Mr. Carr is hank
ering very strongly after the sweets of
office, for an ambitious lawyer like him
will be much more of a success in looking
after the interest of clients than in pros
ecuting them.
Dr. Schilcher, of Freeland, was one of
the passing show yesterday. He is quite
a venerable and distinguished looking
man, who has been many years a resi
dent of the lower end of the county, and
has a large, steadfast circle of friends.
From that little borough up on the
mountains, Freeland, came Patrick Mc-
Laughlin to temporary swell up the
throng that made this city their objec
tive point yesterday. Mr. McLaughlin
is an ardent Democrat and is at present
filling the office of burgess, a position
that he discharges with much fidelity :
and credit. He also was here in attend
ance at the meeting of the Democratic
county committee. Mr. McLaughlin is
a representative of the young Irish-
American element that go to make up so
large a membership in the Democratic
ranks, and is well and favorably known
in the lower end. He possesses a strong
influence both in Foster and Hazle
townships simply because he is a straight
upright man, and one who never violat
ed any of the confidence of his friends
and neighbors.
New Lodge Organized.
Lehigh Lodge, No. 0, of the National
Fraternity, waa organized at the opera
house hall on Thursday evening. About
forty charter members were enrolled,
after hearing the addresses of Captain
John L. Gause, district controller, and
A. S. Haeseler, national secretary, both
of Philadelphia. The following oflicers
were elected:
Guardian—William Williamson.
Vice guardian—A. W. Washburn.
Past guardian—H. L. Edmunds.
Accountant—J. H. Trevaskis.
Cashier—W. J. Eckert.
Page—John M. Cunnius.
Doorkeeper—John Smith.
Outside doorkeeper—E. ft. Turnbach.
Medical examiner—Dr. E. W. Rutter,
Local board of control—William Wil
liamson, A. W. Washburn, H. L. Ed
munds, J. H. Trevaskis, W. J. Eckert.
A Million Dollar Claim.
Tt is stated that the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company has a claim against
the Reading Railroad Company for un
paid rental, destroyed equipments, etc.,
amounting to about $1,01)0.000. This
claim, it is said, was incurred during the
period in which the receivers were in
possession of the Reading lines. It is
stated that the control of the Reading
property by the court, or, in other
words, the continuation of the receiver
ship, will he insisted upon by the Le
high oflicials until the claim is adjudicat
ed and the amount of the indebtedness
either paid or secured to the Lehigh
Valley Company.
The officials of the Reading Company
say it is an old story and instead of the
Reading Company being in debt to tho
Lehigh Valley, it is the other way.
Tunnel Company Knjoined.
John Getting has commenced suit in
equity against tho Union Improvement
Company and the Jeddo Tunnel Com
pany, limited. The plaintiff says that
active work has been commenced on a
tunnel by the defendants through the
Buck mountain; that the said tunnel is
to drain a number of mineß; that the
mine water so drawn off will empty into
little Nescopeck creek at the rate of forty
million gallons per day, that the said
creek runs through the farm of the de
fendant and that the mine water will
ruin said farm for purposes of cultivation.
A preliminary injunction was granted
by the court restraining the Tunnel
Company from continuing the work.
Tried to lteliead Him.
Gottlieb Fink, a dangerous character,
was lodged in jail at Pottsville for mak
ing a murderous assault upon Carl Yer
kel, a wealthy grape grower of Orwigs
burg. Fink had some difficulty with
Yerkel as to wages and struck him a
serious blow with a sickle on the back of
his neck and head.
The prisoner murdered an Italian
near Orwigsburg with an axe about
threo years ago, but was acquitted on
his pleading self-defense. He has been
in jail several times since, but it seems
he cannot get away from the place where
he committed the murder.
Suit* Withdrawn.
The proceedings instituted a few
weeks ago against the supervisors of
Hazle township, who were charged with
embezzlement, have been withdrawn,
the supervisors having agreed to pay
hack the amount overdrawn by them,
ami to charge at the rate of $1.60 a day
during the balance of their term. This
settles a long dispute, as supervisors
heretofore charged $2 per day, and the
matter had to be appealed to court after
the auditors' report each year.
Catarrh Cannot lie Cureil
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on tho mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gredients is what produces such wonder
ful results in curing catarrh. Send for

People using the Home Comfort steel
ranges speak as follows:
Freeland, September 3, 1894.
We have a Home Comfort steel range
that we purchased from the company's
salesman last month. It has proved
itself a comfort. We have had it in use
about three weeks and tested it quite
thoroughly. For roasting, baking and
boiling, in fact any kind of cooking, it
cannot bo excelled. We therefore cheer
fully recommend it to anyone wishing a
tine range. It takes about half as much
fuel us our cast range did to give the
same amount of heat.
