Cremation. Of course Dick had boon over at tho saloon a good deal of late, and they— that is, she and Dick—hail had many a hard word in regard to tho Duso girl. She took it hard, for she hadn't been that bad that she'd ever played Dick false, never since he took her away from her husband's house that uieht nix years ago, and her husband had been fond of her too. Ho all right, her husband was; came of a nice family and liked study and such things, but she nover could abidv such a tied down life, and besides she liked Dick's style best, bo she had gone with Dick. Nobody knew who Dick was out there in the mining districts, except that he was a pretty good man to let alone when his blood was up.

Judge Dunham wired from Laports to Turkhannock the intelligence that the oofets in the judicial oonteet had been placed on the district. The amount of the oo»ta whtoh the two oonntiaa will b« oalled upon to pay will amount In the neighborhood of $10,000. This will be divided between the two counties in the proportion of their aseeeeed valuation. The valuation of Wyoming county is in tha neighborhood of $3,600,000, and that of Suillvan $1 900,000, and oonaeqaently the approximate amount entailed npon the taxpayers of Wyoming for thla little lnalght Into the purity of the ballot wUl be abont 16,500, or a little less than two-thlrdaof the whole ooat; while the 8alllvan oonnty taxpayer! get off with about $3,600, or a little mon than one-third. According to the census of 1890 Wyoming oonnty had a pop ulation of 15,891 and 8ullivan oonnty, 11,020; and when it la borne In mind that since 1890 Sullivan oonnty has increased In population much more raptdly than Wyomlng, it will be seen that the oonteet costs Wyoming muon more in proportion to lti population than It does 8nlllvan. The light that streams out in an uncertain glare from the saloon a little way down confounds the sight somewhat, but it is sufficient to show the figure of the man in authority, whoever he is, who has between him and his deputies, handcuffed, unkempt, pale and haggard, but sullen and defiant as ever, Lewis, half bent over the pommel of his saddle from weakness and exhaustion, evidently oxpecting justice as it is dealt from tgobs like the one now howling about him.

And he chuckled to Jiimself and gazed about at the group, from one to the other. Tho boys were unanimous in assent. He remembers how it is recorded of one-who designated the significance of life as vanity of vanities—aud yet tbo bitterness of his own life is not that of remorse, but of regret, the regret that has within it the sting of the inevitable.

"And they wore both righteous before God, wuiking in all tho commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless." They were united in tho Lord (Num. xxxvi, 11, 7; I Cor. vii, 39; I Cor. vi, 14). As to their standing before God, they were both righteous on thjc principle of Abraham's righteousness (Gen. xv, 6; Rom. iv, 3), All who are truly in Christ are i*ightooiis in Him, and this perfoet standing boforo God is unchangeable (Rom. x, 4; II Cor.

John VanWlokle's No. 2 stripping at MUnesvllle, near Hszleton, was last Friday afternoon the scene of a terrible explosion ot dynamite by which three men were killed and mangled in a shocking -nanner, The victims were: William Qirard, fireman, aged 19, head blown off; Michael Lawrence, aged 32, both legs bl wn off; Bart To-ney, driller, aged 24, frightfully mangled. Lawrence and Torney were in the powder house, when fireman Glrard cimeJn and told them that he was going to turn off the steam by which the powder DC9*D was heated. Tbe explosion occurred while the three men were tn the place, bnt "-at caused It will never be known, as no one 1b left to tell tae s ory. There were 1,000 pounds of powder In the house, and the exp oeion was a tx rifio one. her there were born four children, and at her husband's death the care of them devolved upon ber, and she began to think of ways and means. With many misgivings and with a full appreciation of the responsibility of such a course, she decided to study medicine. Her friends and relatives encouraged the idea, and for four years she patiently studied amid many trials and discouragements, never relaxing her care in the children's education, never in her attendance upon their daily needs. It was a week now since they picked up the woman who bad stabbed Lewis and gotten a bullet in return and took her into Dermot's oabin as being the nearest of approach. Dermot had constituted himself her temporary protector. He hud a couple of the girls down from Stoddard's dance hall and installed them as nurses, while the small necessary expenses were to be paid out of his own pocket, and he himself had taken up quarters with Simpson across the Gulch.

DEATH OF THOMAS ORCHARD. Lard remarked to the bystanders as he set up the drinks that it was ensued qneer how none of the boys in the Gulch uever got into thet woman's being Burton's runaway wife, and that it was "blanked queerer how Burton had dickered on the qniet with the secret service and fetched Dick Lewis up short where he had him by the back o' the neck and might have finished him jest is slick as rollin off a log, with the law on Burton *8 side, too, and then jest let the blamed cuss go, him and Nance, and not only that, but give 'em a free weddin tool" And they all agreed that it was a "darned imposition on every man in the Qulch." 7. "And they had no child, becauso that Elizabeth was barren, nnd they both Were now well stricken in years.'' When nature foils, then the hand of the Lord is mado more manifest, as iu the case of Sarah, Iiac/hel, Hannah and Manoah's wife. It is written of Abraham that ho considered not his own body, nor Sarah's body, but only the promise of God, "being fully persuaded that what He had promised Ho was oble also to perform" (Rom. Iv, 19- 21). When all possibility as far as human oyes can see is taken away, then there is opportunity for tho Lord to magnify His name that Ho may lDe glorified. A Prominent Resident of Carbondale and Director sf the Pitta ton Stove CJpmpomr. Lewis, after wiping his mustache upon his left sleeve, lapses again into indifference. The sheriff—that is, the man whom they took to be the sheriff— deputy and posse—most of whom have come along to see the fun—mount leisurely and start off up the Qulcli. Somebody explains to the crowd about how "justice has to give way to the law." Everybody knows that the law understands its business and ask no odds of any one. New* has been received here of the death on Monday of Thomas Orchard, one of Oarbondale's moat prominent residents, at the age of seventy six years. Mr. Orchard was a native of England, but had Teelded In Oarbondale Miff greater portion of his Ufa. for forty years he held the position of ma ter oar builder for the Pennsylvania Division of the Delawate and Hudson Canal Oo. Ha was well known here by reason of his oonneotion with the Pitteton Stove Company as stockholder and director. He had been connected with the stove company slnoe 1867. He was one of the founders of Trinity Epiaoopal Ohoroh, Oarbondale, and , was oloaely Identified with the progress of the oity generally. For the'past four months he had been 111 with kidney trouble. Early in the seventies she was appointed member of the attending board in the gynecological and obstetrical departments of the Woman's hospital, Twenty-second and North College avenue, a position which she now holds. She is also one of the clinical lecturers in the hospital during the college terms. They didn't think there was much chance for poor Nancy at that time; the odds seemed heavily against her recovery from anything so serious an illness, but Burton, the physician, had brought her round wonderfully. Dr. Burton was not a man of - great experience, because he was too young in years to make this possible, and ho had frankly admitted that fie bad not dovoted himself to his profession until late years, but he had devoted himself to it with, such entirety of attention that he had made up by assiduousness and love for the vocation what he lacked in time and experience seemingly. The crowd falls away again, breaking up into little squads, and goes back to Bill's for more drinks and to talk over matters and decide what's best to do. 8. 4' IIo executed the priests' office before God." The two words "before God" cover al*Dut everything that concerns us. In Christ we are righteous before God, and as to our daily life wo might take tho word to Abraham, "Walk before me and be thou perfect or sincere or upright" (Gen. xvii, 1). The priests' office is fully stated in II Chron. xxix, 11, "The Lord hath chosen you to stand before Him to servo Him, and that ye should minister untoHimand burn incense." Christ became our High Priest by the things He suffered; we are now in training for future priesthood. They have left her alone for a few minutes after the lost visit of the doctor. She was unconscious when he came, and just as she was coming to herself he went out with the others—for brandy, she thought she hadbpurd somebody say. In the West Philadelphia Hospital For Women at Forty-first and Parrish streets she is one of the consultants. She is on the consulting staff of the Norristown Hospital For the Insane. At these hospitals she performs operations of the gravest character, and she has established her reputation as an able and skillful surgeon. WORK OF THE CORONER. Her eyes started from the sockets at the first sound of the hat term# of the six shooters against the door, and clutching convulsively at t be bedclothes she tried to raise herself into a sitting position.They had taken Lewis np to Dermot's; nobody knew why, except those whose business it was to know. The prisoner had asked no questions. He supposed, of coarse, the law would take its course for the murder he thought he had done; he knew that he bad been apprehended through secret detective service and not through any effort of Judge Lynch'■ deputies. Dr. Burton's patients are discussing his successor's skill in extracting stray bullets, mending gouged ears and sewing np ragged jags that are the results of little differences among the miners of Dermot's Qulch. Dr. McKee will Personally Attend to the Duties of the Office In this VlclaCty. Coroner-el»ct McKee says that he expects to attend ti the duties of the offioe personally in the P.tteton and central sections of the county—In fact, in all the 'erritcry of tie county except the Fourth Legislative District and a part of tha Sixth, *hlch will be taken care of ly Dr. William tfjCombe, of Bkz'eton. The coroner's office will be in Plymouth, and will be con □ected with all points of the county by telephone She falls to thinking about it—about Dick—about so many things in such rapid succession. Her head feels so queerly, and the voices had sounded so strange and faroff, and besides the pain she feels so tired. Sho wonders what they will do with Dick, if they find him —if they catch him, that is. The thought stifles her. She clutches at the clothes on her breast and tries to throw then off as best her feeble strength will allow. She must go and find Dick—poor Dick! She didn't know how much she did love him until since this horrible thing—like a dream, it seems; she wonders if it is. "D— yon I Why can't yon get awav from here?" at last growled Dermot as be opened the door to get a chance to say a word to the crowd outside. The woman on the bed fell back with a queer sound in her throat and lay unconscious.THE END. He had not been in the county long, and had but just come into the Qulch. In the Woman's Medical college of Pennsylvania Dr. Croasdale has for several years occupied the chair of gynecology, which was endowed by the late Joseph Jeans, who at the time of its endowment requested that he be allowed to suggest her name as incumbent. — Philadelphia Press. DEATH OF JOHN MURPHY. They said—there were rumors—that ho had a history, some unfortunate family trouble, some divorce or something of that kind, but nobody knew much about him, ai7d he was reticent and self contained. That he was a man of marked characteristics was plain to be seen, a man who evidently had a mind of his own, and who wouldn't be afraid to use it He had evidently known trouble. He showed traces of it, but he was kind and gentle as a woman toward his patients, and everybody liked him so far as they knew him! CHRISTIAN tNDtAVOK. 9. "His lot was to burn iucenso." In Ps. cxli, 2, wo read, "Let my prayer be set forth before The© as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice." And in Rev. viii, 8, 4, wo read of Incense offered with the prayers of saints. The incense is suggestive of the merits of Jesus Christ by which alone anything we do can be aoceptod before God, but by which the feeblest servlce'ln His Name is accepted. Somebody had ordered him taken to Dermot's, but he wasn't afraid of Dermot; it was none of Dermot's funeral; fopto For the Week Beginning Jan. 8. A Former Plttstonlan Passes Away IsA denly In Philadelphia. A telegram waa reoeived Monday morning from Philadelphia, announcing the death In that oity of John Mnrphy, a former well known resident of Plttston. Deceased had lived in Philadelphia for eight or ten years. He waa about thirty-six years of age and unmarried. He waa s son of the late Thomas Murphy, of Upper Pitteton, and la survived by the following brothers and sisters, all well known realdents of this oity: Mary A, Eiward B., Thomas, Katie, Oelia, Michael and Agnes Mnrphy. , He was also a nephew of Mrs. Maty A. Heap, of William street, and of Mr. M. Bolin, of Upper Pittston. Mr. C Murphy's relatives hen had no knowledge .of his 1Uneaa, and the news of his death was a great shook to them. Dermot saw only too plainly that resistance would be. useless, and be stood around to make way for them to enter. Two cowboys, half drunk, and who had HO interest whatever in the affair, save through a kind of meddlesome curiosity and desire to have a hand in the letter, pushed their way up to Dermot and stood there before him in an attitude of personal animosity. They were followed up by a half dozen miners in brown canvas, tucked into hipboots, the inevitable cartridge belt and brace of six sbooten, their slouches pulled down over eyes that blazed with fire, and in the dim light of the single miner's candle that was fastened to the pine table at the other end of the room, spluttering and flaring in the draft from the wind that blew in from the open door, the arimsoa handkerchiefs knotted about thesthroats of three or four of the intruders gave a pictoresqueness that added to the spectacular effect of the scene. Dermot was talking. "See here, Grant, this is imposition and insult of the worst kind. I don't deny thet I might harbor a tough cuss when he's bard np, and Jim Darmot's not the man to torn a wolf out in the cold bo long's there's room and gruh fer both, hut I'll blamed if it ain't tough—cussed tough—to be accused of pnttin away a cub like him that's raised his hand agin a woman 1 I've told yer he ain't here Now yer git I" And he pointed to the door.

Well, he had never squealed yet, and be guessed he could take his little dose. That Jesus Christ attached great importance to prayer is proved by the fact that He constantly emphasized it in His and practiced it in His life. In the sermon on the mount He enforces it as one of the cardinal virtues of the perfect disciple. At the request of His disciples He taught them how to pray, giving them a model of prayer that is wonderful in its construction and has had a marvelous influence for good in the world. Again toward the close of his ministry we are introduced to two parables on the subject of ■ f a'er which emphasize two important i. ..tures that should characterize our prayers—namely, importunity and humility.

The judge npon the bench also was exceedingly courteous to her during the progress of tho case and listened closely to her argument. She gained her case, too, though it was the first she had ever argued. She tries to strugglo upward, to raise herself upon her elbow—an overpowering desire to see Dick, to feel his arms about her again ! The old days with him come up before her—she is all to blame. It is too much for her, in her weak stato, to bear—the awful remorse for her deed and the horror that almost paralyzes her. Hor love is doubled for the man she may have killed, the man who had been her lover, and who had struck back at her, as it wero, and. had almost finished her then and there.

"And tho wholo multitude of the people were praying without at the time of Incense." Tho time of incense whon the people were praying without while they waited for the priest to return to them Is suggestive of this wholo age during which our High Priest has gone into the presence of God for us and wo continue in prayer, awaiting His return. He ever liveth to make intercession for us and says to us, " Because I live, ye shall live also'' (John xiv, 1ft). II/""Awl there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incenso." Tho angel's name was Gabriel, which means "God is mighty." He is twice mentioned in Daniel as God's messenger to him (Dan. viii, 16; ix, 21). Ho afterward camo to Nazareth with a message for Mary (versus 26, 27).

He might have crawled up in the mountains somowhore to dio, nobody knew, and then seemed nothing to do but give np the search.

It might be supposed that the former would tusu green at the advent of the latter, as there is not too much praotice for it in the conrts and as dower right cases are sometimes profitable to the lawyer engaged in them. But there was no sign of anything of the kind. The chivalry of Judge McCormick was deserving of the admiration which it oommandod. 1873 —Fair; snow remained frrm ttorm of Dec. 23; enow, sleet and rain, following day. . 1674—Clear and cold, but pleasant; green Christmas.

Importunity in prayer. This is tanght by the parable of the woman and the unjust judge, who beard her and granted her request simply because sho persisted in her request Thus it is illustrated to ns that "men onght always to pray, and not to faint" For if an unjust judge would hear the prayers of one who was in do way related to her, becanse she was persistent, how much more readily we may believe that the just Jndge would hear the prayers of His children, if they were constantly brought before Him. Prayer is the only weapon we have by which we can move the arm of God, and this one weapon most be wielded constantly. God often keeps ns waiting for our own good, but if we persist He will hear us. 1875— Kaln before daybreak; day olondy and foggy, green Chrlatmaa. IMPOBTANr BUSINESS CHANGE.

Her limited circle of acquaintances did not embrace any outside the Bcanty number who frequonted Bill Logan's saloon and drank up all their wages as fast as tboy got them, what they didn't lose at the gambling table and otherwise. There generally wasn't much left aftor that. She hadn't done badly by Dick. She'd staid by him, and worked for him, and set him on his foet again whenever ho got down on his luck, aud had even taken in work from the other men aud given that to Dick too. The men she and Dick knew were mostly tall, gaunt and yellow skinned, with bruad, tobacco stained teeth and shambling feet and brawny hands, or else they were short and "stubby" of build, with red, thick necks and a bulldoggish sullenness in their faces, and with unpleasant mouths and bristling mustaches and frowsy heads, mostly Welshmen and Cornishmen, with some other nationalities mixed among them, types, all of them, of others just like them. 13. "And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled and foar fell upon him." We might conclude from Judges xiii, 22, that there wan a superstition that the appearance of an angel meant death, or perhaps in the wise of Zacharias it was tho ordinary fear of the sutiornatuml, as when the disciples were afraid in the boat, or the women at the sepulcher"(Mark vi, 49, 50; xvi, 5).

All God's thoughts to His people are thoughts of peace (Jer. xxix, 11), and oonlldence in Ilim will always give quii tness (Isa. xxx, 16). John is one of tho seven In Scripture who are mentioned by name before their birth.; the others being Ishmael, Isaac, Solomon, Josiah, Cyrus and Josus.

This is taught by contrast in the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. In bis self confidence and self righteousness the Pharisee offers up a self congratulatory prayer. It is not beard. The publican, on the other hand, standing afar off, scarcely lifting his eyes to heaven, smote bis breast and exclaimed "God be merciful to me, a sinner." He went down to his bouse justified Thus we are taught self abasement in prayer.

When Jesus shall bo exalted as King of Israel-and King of kings and Lord of lords, the days of Israel's mourning shall be ended.

Perhaps she had loved Dick all the better because she was keen enough to be conscious of his inferiority, and maybe her love was half pity. Anyhow sho knew Dick had been no gentleman, even in his palmiest days. She didn't know much of his history.

"He shall be groat in tho sight id tho Lord; he shall bo filled with tho Hoiy Ghost." This is surely tho summit for any mortal man. Jesus Himself said that no greater prophet was ever born of woman than John the Baptist. To lxD filled with the Holy Spirit is tho key to all true service, and to hear our Lord's "Well dono" must bo tho highest reward. But lot us remember that John was not great in tho sight of all people and finally lost his life for his faithfulness to God. "Strangers about these parts?" "Yes," briefly. "Business or pleasure?"

Her gonial presence and cordial words will be sorely missed in many a home." "Lewis is the man to taire darned good care of hie bacon, now yon can bet on that every tinio!" with which convietive conclusion Jako Long stepped up to the bar and ordered drinks for the crowd. The news had reached the saloon it once, of course, and ut first the men did not relish getting into a scrimmage with Dick Lewis and his crowd for nothing; they had not at first understood that it was not a fair scrapping match between Lewis and his pals. When the truth was known, however, the indignation against Lewis was solid enough; it was, in reality, ingrained. He was a man they disapproved anyhow. Dick was a sullen dog, not inclined to set up the drinks any too frequently and was "too darned careless with his gun," as one old miner grimly put it One day When at table in the miners' restaurant over some discussion with one of his crowd Lewis had been indisposed to settle the matter by arbitration, and hie bullet just grazed the nose of the presunt speaker, who, at the time of the happening, had been occupying a seat ilirectly in front of Lewis and facing liini, bnt such inconsequential* Dick fjewis didn't notice; he didn't mind a little thing like that; the men all knew it wasn't his way.

It took but a minute for the crowd to comprehend the sit lotion, and with that instinctive sense of justice that is found powhere more keen than among this class of men they cheered Dermot to the echo; then the whole crowd filed out, yeptipg their thwarted desire for legitimate revenge upon the man who was yet, red handed as he was, out of their reach, ont of the clutches of the law, as the law is in mining districts, by splitting the air with shots fired upward and shouts of oaths of vengeance. Bullard notices this and takes down bis liquor in silence. Then be sets down nis glass anq gives Simpson a Knowing wink with the off oyo. The room has been full of smoke, but it is clearing now.

He waa very charitable, big-hearted and good natnred. In politice, be waa a Republican. The words of the marriage service, sweet and solemn as they are, fall in strange contrast with the scene.
