Deropest Invited to Come Book to the Pastorate of the Interesting Kvent I-ast levelling ut Melanle Chapel, In Copper Pittston, Many Being Present. A very pleasant Thanksgiving Sunflay school praise service was held In Melante Chapel, Upper Pittston, last evening, and an audience was present that crowded the chapel to the doors. The musical programme consisted of two anthems by ttie choir, selections by the Sunday school orchestra, a soprano solo by Miss Anna Thompson, and vocal music by a quartette of young men from Wyoming seminary. Rev. Mr. Wakefield gave an Interesting address on thf origin of the Thanksgiving service, tracing Its commencement to the colonists settling In and around Plymouth Rock in the early part of the seventeenth century. S. M. Parke spoke for a. little while In regard to those who had been active In Sunday school work In years gone by, referring especially to the life and work of Hon. Theo. Strong along this line in and about Pittston. He spoke of how Mr. Strong, on coming to Pittston In 1842. 64 years ago; was an employe of the Butler Coal Co... at once identified himself with the Sunday school held In the red school house In North Pittston, near where M. Bollrf now lives, and of how for nearly B0 years Mr? Strong had "been active nsa superintendent and Bible class teacher. He said Mr. Strong had of the Sunday school' in the old brick church. In North Pittston, from 1846 to 1857. when the present Presbyterian church, on Broad street, was erected, and spoke of his activity in the West Side Presbyterian after Its organization In 187?; of how much such a life and character as that of Mr. Strong stood for in the civic as well as the religious life of the community, and of how wide and farreaching his Influence for good had been upon all the people with whom he had come In contact. Mr. Parke also spoke of Mr. Davis, MV. Kllllan and Mr. Houser former superintendents of the school, and also of the young ministers who had, at one time and anotlier, ministered to the people at Melanle Chapel, among them Rev. S. Q.

Accused Man Will Testify in His Own Behalf. Minister Renounces Alle- Df. P. Clinpcli. Murderer at Bay in Mouth Ignited tlie Oil. King Edward and Queen Al- A unanimous call has been tendered Vy the Methodist Protestant church to Rev. D. W. DeForest, of Tarrytown. N. Y., to become pastor jf the chinch. The church has been without a pastor since the opening of the confidence year. The New York ( onference is short of clergymen and there was not a sufficient number to provide pastor? for all the churches when the conference made its appointments early In October. The Pittston church was among those left unprovided for. Rev. Mr. DeForest was reappointed to his old charge at Tarrytown, N. Y., and has not been seeking any change. When he came to Pittston a few days ago, it was for a visit to old friends and with the expectation that a pastor had been secured for the Pittston church. A supply had been expected for the church yesterday, but failed to arrive, and Mr. DeForest preached to his old congregation morning and evening, filling the unexpected vacancy. During the evening the official board met and, unknown to the preacher, unanimously decided to ask him to become pastor of the church. At the close of the evening service the action of the official board was ratified unanimously. When the news was taken to Mr. DeForest he said he could not give an Immediate answer, saying that he had been appointed to the Tarrytown church by the conference, and that if he should come to Pittston the transfer must be accomplished In an orderly and Chrlstlanlike manner. He suggested that the action of the church be communicated to the president of the conference,, who, if he sees fit, will take action looking to his release from Tarrytown and his appointment to Pittston. This plan will be adopted. Despondent over domestic trouble and the death of his wife several weeks ago, and almost crazed from the effect of alcohol, Charles Lltalskl, a foreigner, aged 35 years, who resides In Prlceburg made a desperate and unheard of attempt to take his life by setting- Are to himself, after pouring a can of kerosene all over his clothes last night'. A human torch, he was picked up on one of the main streets of the town and, suffering the worst agony and torture imaginable, he was removed to the State hospital In Scranton.

The murderer fled, carrying with hlni the Shotgun with which he committed the deed, and Is now hitting in a coal shaft near the town.

London, Nov. 26.—King Edward and Queen Alexandra will visit Ireland early next spring. They will land at Queensfcown instead of at Dublin, and after a brief rest will proceed to the famous Lakes of Killarney. Their majesties will then tour through Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford and will visit many of the historic places of interest to be found In these counties. ,  The King and Queen, who were then the Prince and Princess of Wales, visited Ireland for the first time about 35 years ago, and Irishmen were at that time quite fascinated with the beauty and grace of the little Danish woman. The foyal couple were warmly welcomed by the Irish people. Dozens of people witnessed the rash act, but their efforts to quench the flames that enveloped the body of Lltalski were of no avail for fully eight mlntftes. Horror (stricken, all they could do was to pour water over him. His violent cries attracted all the neighborhood and before long Price'burg was in an uproar. A big crowd had gathered to the horrifying scene and when the flames on the mtyi's clothes wero extinguished a rush was made by every one to take a peek at the body which lay unconscious on the sidewalk. Gillette spent a quiet Sunday at the Jail, resting much of the time in mental and physical preparation for the ordeal when lye will go upon the stand and tell his story of Grace Brown's death. The letter in addressed to .Bishop William Walker of the western diocese of New York. In it Dr. Crapsey reaffirms his belief that the "notion of the origin of .Tesus. that a son. of man was born without a human father, is without foundation hi history." Gillette expects to be called not later than Tuesday or Wednesday. What explanation he will rnnke of his companion's death has been carefully guarded by his counsel, who have not admitted what the line of defense will be. He also asserts that "When I say of Jesus that he ascended Into heaven I do not mean and cannot mean that with his physical body of flesh, blood and bones he floated into space and has for 2.000 years been existing somewhere lu the; sky In that very physical body of flesh, blood and bones." The thrilling act was committed In front of the postofilce on Lincoln street shortly before 10 o'clock last night. Liltalski, it is said, had been drinking during the afternoon and evening, and in fact for the past few days to drown his many, troubles. Early In the evening he visited several places and bid his friends good-bye, telling them that he will never seD* them again. Lost Entire Property at Cards. After their touT through the southern counties of Ireland, King Edward and Queen Alexandra will go to Dublin. Their headquarters while in that city will be at the vice-regal lodge. Phoenix Park. Their majesties will spend altogether about four or five weeks In Ireland. Shulley, seventy-one years oltl. has beeu u desperate poker player for iintuy yenra, uiul every week lie was accustouied to spend many hours at the game. He played often with his friend Waters. The two started la the game early and played through the afternoon and the night. Hb ill ley lost heavily from the tirst, but with recklessness plunged uot only every cent of money he had, but his property. Waters cool Jy "saw" Silhulley's wagers, and. though two other men In the game won occasionally, Waters got practically all ol Sliulley's money. Defense to Make $uicide Plea. t is generally expected, however. it the. claim will be set up that the mill girl committed suicide when she was convinced Gillette, who had taken her to Big Moose lake, did not Intend or did not wish to make her his wife. In tills connection the letters from the girl to Gillette and whlclj the prosecution read In court are expected to play a part. In some of these letters the girl expressed the wish that she should die. In others her belief that she would not live long, while she Intimated that her death might be a desirable end to all their troubles. Assertiug that he Is about to carry the case to the free intelligence and enlightened conscience of the world, he counsels the "hundreds of clergymen and thousands of laymen in the Protestant Episcopal church who have reached the same conclusion" as he has uot to be dismayed and to stay where they are. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Dr. J. J. Billheimer was summoned and he treated the patient until 'the arrival of the ambulance, In which he was placed and taken to Scranton State hospital. For hours the physicians at the hospital worked on the body. The patient has been in a delirious state of mind from the very moment he was admitted, although at times he appears half rational and murmurs a word or two. New York Stock Markets furnished by M. S.

New Ttoclielle Men Wanted Some Kasy Money on Prize Fight—Fake Having lost all his property, Shulley was compelled to quit the game. He sat around watching the other men. Presently he left the room and went downstairs. He was out only a short time. Quietly re-eutering the room where the game was still in progress, he drew a shotgun from the folds ol his long overcoat, aimed carefully at Waters, whose back was turned, and with a single shot blew off the top of Waters' head. Waters fell forward on the table upon the scattered cards. He died before his companions, horrified by the tragedy, could pick him up.

The entertainment will consist of a presentation of t a** matized version of Tennyson's fceautiful poem, "Enoch Arden," by Miss Anne M.

His farewell sermon will probably be preached next Sunday. Shulley rushed away to the home ot liis son In-law. Leveling the gun at the young mun's breast, he compelled hiiu to hand over a small amount ot money. With that Nliulley purchased provisions and set In a supply of ammunition. He hastened to the Towel Hill mine, where he descended the shaft. He was followed to the mouth of the shaft, but when the police start ed to go down a shot rang out and a voice warned them that death would be the peualty of any man who tried to descend. No one can climb down the slender ladder without carrying a lantern, and in that event he will lie perceived instantly by Shulley. Straw was collected, rammed Into the inoutli of the shaft and Ignited. That ruse proved a failure, ami there is no doubt that Shulley. aloue in the great mine iu utter (darkness, can hold his foes ofl for many days. Tracks by D«*aller. There was a slight wreck on the Lehigh Valley at the lower end of Coxton yard early yesterday morning. The engine .and baggage car of passenger train No. 2, a fast express, east bound, due here at 4:37 a. m., were thrown from the tracks by a derailer, the engineer having run past the block, when the signal was set against him. The train was in charge of O. E. Weidman, of Easton, as conductor, and the engineer was Charles Burton, of Sayre. According to the official report the engineer saw the signal set against him and. In stopping the train, misjudged the distance to the end of the block. He ran beyond the limits of the block and .the deraller, which acts automatically, threw his engine, tender and baggage car from the track. The train was going at a reduced rate of speed and the engineer stopped it before any of the passenger cars were thrown off. The train, which is due here at 4:37 a. m., was delayed 43 minutes and then proceeded with another engine. The east bound track was blocked until yesterday afternoon at two o'clock.

Classical of face and stately in carriage she. made an agreeable Impression aside from her rarely Intelligent interpretation of the poem. Much of her reading was done unaccompanied, but at certain climaxes the musia blended with her voice in gracious harmony, and the dramatic effect was extremely brightened. For instance, at the point where, after Philip's long, long waiting, Enoch Arden's wife Annie, finally yields to his tender importunities, but not until she has seen in a dream her lost husband beneath the palm trees as she believes of heavenly bliss, there come crashing i chords which strangely stir the listener. Then, as Philip and the woman he has so long loved, are wedded, there Is soft, exquisite melodic trickling of music bringing thoughts of peace and happiness, yet beneath It all runs the sombre thread. The music and the voice of the reader had a powerful effect on the emotions of the listeners last night, and those who had been stirred before by this saddest story, felt anew its pathos. Mr. Briggs certainly gave to It a brilliant interpretation and afforded unmixed pleasure to the audience. It is to be hoped that Miss Morse will be heard again in readings in this city." G.
