Courthouse Injunction.
Proceedings were commenced on Tues
day by J. H. Mahon and others against
the county and county commissioners to
restrain them from erecting tho new
courthouse on the site of tho present
one. The reasons given are that the new
courthouse yard is public property; that
there is no building available that could
be used as a courthouse while the new
ouo is being built, that it would be dan
gerous to remove all the valuable rec
ords to temporary quarters, and that a
site on the river common, betwoen
Union and North streets, is the proper
place for a new building. '
The hearing is fixed for June 1.

32% inches. The work accomplished
by the men is considered very good.

Reading Mules Have to Go.
The days of the mule, as regards its
work in the coal mines, are said to be
numbered. The success of compressed
iir motors attained by the Cross Creek
Coal Company at Drifton and (J. B.
Marklo & Co. at Jeddo has stirred up
the big Reading Company. This cor
poration is about to inaugurate a
change, and within a short time the
mines in the Shenandoah district will
no longer hear the neigh of the strong
and stubborn mule, nor will the cars
show the effects of having come in con
tact with the rear legs of tills animal,
as there will be put in uso cars operat
ed by compressed air. This change is
expected to work considerable saving to
the coal company, as there are many
hundreds of mules employed in these
mines.
The Reading Company has for a long
time been experimenting with the va
rious kinds of motive power for the
hauling of its mine cars, and while elec
tricity has played a prominent part in
these trials it has been deemed advis
able at this time to use compressed air.
By this system of motive power it lias
been proven that a larger car can be
operated, more speed can be acquired
and there will be no delays, which have
frequently been the caso when a string
of mules become balky.
Besides this change the Reading Com
pany will also reduce the number of
breakers iu the Shenandoah region
from six to three. It has been the
policy of the company to increase the
size of its breakers whenever a now one
was required. The breakers now con
templated will be unusually largo and
will be capubie of handling all the coal
that the company's mines in that region
produce.

CHURCH CASE IN COURT
INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
BISHOP TALBOT ARGUED.
Rev. Irvine, of Huntingdon, Ask* to
Ke*trttiu the Bishop from Removing
Hlui —Divorce Laws of the Church
Caused tlie Trouble.
The injunction served upon Bishop
Talbot and the standing committee of
tho Protestant Episcopal diocese of
central Pennsylvania at tho instance of
Rev. I. N. VV. Irvine, of St. John's
church, Huntingdon, to restrain them
from removing him from his church,
was argued before Judge Woodward at
Wilkesbarre on Tuesday.
Attorneys J. If. Woodward, of Wilkes
barre, and H. W. Petrikeu, of Hunting
don, for Rev. Irvine, asked to have tin?
injunction continued. Attorney 11. A.
Fuller, for the bishop, argued to have
the injunction dissolved, as the matter
had been heard by Bishop Talbot and
the standing committee in secret ses
sion at Wilkesbarre on the evening of
May 10, at least twelve hours prior to
the granting of the injunction, and they
decided to drop the matter and abandon
the proceedings against Rev. Irvine
under canon IV, of the church law.
Mr. Fuller further claimed that no
perpetual injunction should be granted,
as his clients do not intend to do what
they are charged by the plaintiff with
proposing to do.
Judge Woodward took the papers'in
the case and reserved his decision.
CAUSE OF TIIE TROUBLE.
It is claimed now that the real cause
of the proposed dismissal of Rev. Irvine
grew out of the fact that Mr. Irvine
refused to serve holy communion to
members of tho church that had been
divorced. These divorced people made
a fight over it and threatened to haw
Mr. Irvin ousted.
It is then alleged that Rev. Irvine
produced a letter signed by members of
tho vestry of his church, asking that
ho be retained as pastor. This letter,
it Was claimed, is a forgery, and Mr.
Irvine was prosecuted for it, but the
charges wore not sustained by the
courts.
Mr. Irvine claims that he is innocent
of the charge and naturally wants to
maintain his position in tho church and
asks the bishop and tho standing com
mitteo not to become prejudiced against
him for his actions, as ho carried out
the rules of the church as his con
science dictated to him as proper and
right, and that was that no divorced
people wore entitled to take communion
in the Episcopal Church, in accordance
with the rules and laws governing the
church.
