Both teams were on the grounds, but the heavy rain at 3 o'olock and subsequent showers prevented the contest from taking place.

1n20-tf 30 NEW SERIES---VOL. IX. NO. 151. THE CONGRESSIONAL PIE Two Candidates Are Already Edging Up to the Counter.

EX-CONGRESSMAN BRUNNER Has Announced His Candidacy Which Has Set Peter D. Wanner to Cast Furtive Glances at the Toothsome Pastry. Although the Congressional election will not take place until 1896 the Democrats of the Berks-Lehigh district are already astir, and the prospects are that there will be a lively scramble for the nomination. According to the compact made in 1888 it will be Berks county's time to get a bite of the Congressional pie, and up to this writing two well-known disciples of Jeffe: son and Jackson are elbowing their way up to the counter. It is said by those who have tasted it that Congressional pie is very toothsome, and, as with peanuts, the more you eat the more you want.

Professor David B. Brunner, of Reading, had two slices of the delicacy, and evidently he still retains the taste, and his mouth wate for more, for he has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination after Mr. Erdman's term expires. When It became known that the Professor hankered for another slice of the Congressional pastry it was announced that Peter D. Wanner, a battle-scarred veteran of Berks, is considering the adviability of shying his castor into the ring and trying to snatch the pie from Professor Brunner.

A reporter interviewed Mr. Wanner yesterday, and that gentleman said that some of his friends had spoken to him about the matter and have urged him to announce his candidacy. He admitted that because Mr. Brunner is asking for 8 third term, and will in all probability claim a fourth, he is seriously considering the matter. Mr.

Wanner was a candidate for the Congressional nomination seventeen years ago, and was only beaten by two hundred votes. He says that he made the fight single handed and against great odds. He also said that Berks county should be represented in Congress by a man who has positive views and can express them. on the floor. He expressed himself against civil service and "other new-fangled side issues," which, he claims, are the cause of all the party's troubles.

It is said that Messrs. Brunner and Wanner will by no means have the field to themselves, but that at least ten others will enter the contest. There was a decided opposition among the Democratic leaders to opening the campaign so early, but since Mr. Brunner has announced himsel as a candidate the politicians have been stirred up and the political kettle will In all probability be kept boiling until after the primaries. Crushed by an Engine.

James A. Doyle, 22 years of age, was instantly killed near the Philadelphia and Reading round house in Reading yesterday morning. Doyle had stepped between the tank of an engine and a gondola car to make a coupling. A fellow-workman warned him not to try it until the tank was against the car, because it required a three-link coupling. Doyle, however, thought he could make it, and the engine was backed against the car very gently.

He failed, however, to notice that the bumpers on the gondola would overlap the bumper on the engine tank, and he was canght and crushed across the breast. Allen Athletic Club Nominations. The Allen Athletic Club has nominated the following officers: President, Elmer Huffort; Vice President, Frank Nonnemacher; Secretary, George Beitel; Financial Secretary, Ed.

THE BETHLEHEMS. SOUTH BETHLEHEN, June 21. Charles Jessup and Hermine Gostaphin, two disciples of the false phrophet, are occupying cells Nos. 2 and 4 at the police station on account of a murderous assault committed on Joseph Michael, a Greek Christian. Michael, Adol Atto, a fellow countryman, and the former's mother, retired early last night.

The Michaels occupy No. 225 New street, a small shop as a green grocery and residence. The building is shed like in construction and is divided into two apartments on the first floor, there being no second story to the structure. The front part of the small structure is occupied by the Michael's as a green grocery and candy stand and the rear is used as a kitchen and sleeping room, The three occupants of the place retired last evening with the window open. Mrs.

Michael occupied an improvised couch next the window and her son Joe and their guest slept on blankets 011 the floor directly opposite Mrs. Michael. At about two o'clock the intended murderers arrived and fired four shots through the open window, one of which took effect in the aged women's left calf, two of the other shots were directed just a foot above Joe's head and penetrated a thin partition and embedddd themselves in a box and the other in a counter. The fourth shot was sent into the bed occupied by the woman but missed her and went through comforts, mattress and a board of the bed. The shooting was heard by Sergeant Hildenberger and Special Officer Kelley who immediately arrived upon the scene.

The officers were too late for the dastards had escaped. The pair were recognized by Mrs. Michael, and the direction of the fellows escape was noticed by Mrs. William Smith, who lives near by the scene of the attempted tragedy. Officers Hildenberger, Free and Gallagher, assisted by Conslable Doran, went to the house on School Alley, in the rear of Purcell's saloon, and caught the guilty ones.

One was in bed and the other on the floor. Both were undressed. They were promptly put under arrest and taken to the station house where they were at once locked up. A search of the prisoner's clothes revealed a Forehand Wodswort 32 calibre revolver of the old Smith Wesson style. The weapon was fully loaded but showed that four chambers were discharged recently.

The prisoners denied all knowledge of the affair and claimed that they had retired and had been in bed since 9 p.m. Two of the misdirected missiles are in the hands of Chief of Police Fenstermacher and the two that were shot at the occupant of the home were recovered by Wilson Laufer. Mrs. Michael's wound was attended by Dr. D.

C. Malone, and at 7 o'clock this morning she was taken to St. Luke's Hospital. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of the calf of the leg and caused a considerable loss of blood. The premises this morning presented the appearance of a murder.

The bed occupied by the woman was saturated with pools of blood, and the bullet holes in the woodwork showed what a desperate deed was contemplated. The shooting is the outcome of an old grudge and the culmination of repeated quarrels, assaults and stabbing affrays. A week or two ago, one of the Mohamedans, Jacob George, was sent to jail for stabbing one of the murderous assailants of last night. Promises and threats of last night's attempted destruction, had been made a week ago, but no action was taken to arrest the men. That the fellows meant business is shown by the finding of three loaded cartridges in the Michael lot this morning by Constable Doran.

It is likely that the prisoners will be brought to Easton jail in default of bail, and because the main witness, Mrs. Michael, is confined in St. Luke's. Both of the prisoners have a dark vengeful look and are about 25 and 26 years of age. The two Mohamedanns were taken to Easton this noon by Coustable Doran, Thomas Haley, aged ten years, while playing with his companions, James Dugan and John Connolly, on Saturday afternoon, received a serious gash on his right instep.

The boys were pushing the turn table near the Bethlehem Foundry and Machine Company's works and the huge article caught Haley's foot. His companion's yelled for assistance and baggage master Titus Beyle heard them and ran to their aid. Haley was extricated from his painful position and carried to the Lehigh Valley baggage room where baggage master Beyle attended to the lad's injuries in true surgeon style. The little fellow WAS afterwards sent to his home at 513 Locust street, where the injury received medical attendance at the hands of Dr. D.

C. Malone. The two horses drawing the canal boat known as "Three Brothers," from Weissport, in some way became unhitched from the tow line on Saturday afternoon, while passing Cutter's silk mill, They ran down the tow path to Main street, thence to the office of the Diamond Coal Company, where one of the horses fell, causing both to be caught.

SAN FRANCISCO, June latest advices from Honolulu say: The changes brought about through the downfall of the and the establishment of the provisional government, followed by the formation of the Hawaiian republic, are beginning to be felt, understood and appreciated. All classes of inhabitants realize that the present government has come to stay. The policy of the PRESIDENT DOLE. ministration has been one of reconcilia tion, go much so that the radical wing of the party has been far from pleased in many instances. Further evidence of this reconciliation will be made manifest on July 4, the first anniversary of the establishment of the present form of government.

The sentiment of the better classes is and has been all along in favor of granting clemency to a large number of the ignorant Hawaiians who took part the January rebellion, and it is the intention President Dole to exercise that power on July 4, when pardons will be granted to over 100 Hawaiians. Besides these a problem which has long vexed the governing powers is to be set at rest by discharging ex-Queen Liliuokalani from custody. The decision regarding the ex-queen's pardon is being carefully guarded, and nothing will be known of it by the publio until the official act. has been sanctioned by the president. Close confinement has brought about many changes in the former ruler of the islands, and she is in many respects a different personage.

Under the conditions of her release the ex-queen may return to Washington place to reside, or anywhere she may see fit, in peace and full enjoyment of all rights so long AA she shall refrain from intrigue of interference with the recognized government.

The foundry in Birmingham, Eng. land, where Watt worked out his idea of the steam engine is now idle, after an existence of 133 years. At 0110 time it employed 4,000 men, but its business gradually fell off, and when it closed its doors only 400 men were on the pay roll. It is said that people in St. Louis find it cheaper at present to travel than to board at home.

A trip of 660 miles may be taken on a first-class steamer for $1.50, and no extra charge is made for for either meals or stateroom during the two days and a half required for the journey. This is one of the incidental results of the war of rates on the Mississippi steamboats. A writer in Blackwood's says that "priests cannot change their priestly countenance if they wished. For some mysterious reason the subcutaneous tissue over the cheek bones and under the jaws of the cleric's face gets an undue supply of nourishment, which leaves distinctive marks, while the consciousness of a share in the Apostolle legacy gives a muscular set to the lips."

There are sixty banks in the United States where women are employed, and, curiously enough, out of the whole number all, save one, are either married or are widows.

WILL RIDE AT RITTERSVILLE It Will be a Great Event in Bicycling Circles A Good Story How Zimmerman Was Almost Matched With Johnson. John S. Johnson "the flyer," champion bicycle rider of his unhite, manager, Thomas Eck; his pacer, X. Meixell, and Charles Ott, of the Sun Inn, Bethlehem, where the party is stopping, were in town last evening. Johnson was to Rittersville and examined the track.

Next Thursday he is going to race there. Mr. Meixell has arranged a fine schedule for the day, and something good is in store. A very good story is told in connection with this race, in which are involved the two great bicyclists of the world, namely, Johnson and Zimmerman. Johnson's backer has for the past six months been trying to arrange a race with Zimmerman and his man, but the former has been holding off for obvious reasons.

Johnson has beaten Zimmerman's record, and it is quite natural that he should be loathe to race with the man. But the story is this: Zimmerman was written to some time ago and a race was arranged with an at Rittersville next Thursday. This unknown, of course, was to be Johnson, and he was to be disguised by a false moustache, ete. Zimmerman has some friends in this section, however, and those were not slow in telegraphing to him and telling him about the scheme, which, of course. at once caused him to decline the offer, and the races on Thursday will be conducted without Zimmerman.

It would be folly for the latter to race against Johnson at this time. He is promised a purse of probably $25,000 to make a tour through Australia, and he is about to set out on this trip. If he would be beaten his company will only allow him $5000. The longer he holds the title of champion the more shekels will flow into his pocket. The races on Thursday will, however, rank among the best, and some fast time may be looked for.

Crader. Special Announcement. The Christian Endeavor Society of the First Baptist Church of Allentown has adopted the plan of changing their regular weekly meetings from Sunday evening to Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, for several reasons, which, if carried out faithfully, will prove a success, and be beneficial not only to the society, but to the church also. During the heated term the meetings begin at 80 clock, and are in session one hour. To these meeting are invited not only a full attendance of the members, but members of the church and Sunday school, and all who are interested in Christian Endeavor work.

This evening after the regular devotional meeting, there will be an after-meeting of short duration, and a very cordial invitation is extended to all members of the society, also to the members of the church and Sunday school. It should be an earnest desire of all to heartily co-operate with the society in this cause, and enjoy the rich blessings that God is continually bestowing. Members of the Executive Committee will please remember their meeting this evening.

A. Hall Was the Scene of Interesting Ceremonies. THE CLASS DAY EXERCISES Of the Class of '95, Allentown High School- -A Carefully Arranged Program Was Rendered -The Audience Highly Pleased. The class day exercises of the class of '95, Allentown High School, in Y. M.

C. A. Hall, yesterday afternoon, were an immense success. To the march played by Miss Emily Blumer the class mached from the rear to the stage and took seats there. The entire program was managed by the class.

The exercises all had that peculiar vim necessary for such days, and though many of the jokes will remain secrets with the class, the audience was, to a certain extent, made a confidant, and all enjoyed it highly. Arthur Kellar delivered the salutatory. It was brief and pointed. An instrumental duet, entitled "The Dragon Fighter," Misses Edna Zimmerman and Emily Blumer, followed. Next came the class history, by Miss Rowena Miller.

There were three epochs to cover the three years in the school. All the pleasantries and the great events, and the small, were enumerated, and nether classmates nor teachers were spared. The following is the class song rendered in chorus: OUR CLASS DAY. Celebrate this day of ours, with song and smile and cheer, Merry hearts we bring to-day, bereft of every fear, Shall we not remember it and make the memory dear. Memories sweet fer this Class Day.

Chorus-Hurrah! Hurrah! Review Days now are o'er! We ne'er again need fill our bra 18 with new or ancient lore, We write no more on Friday as we did in days of yore, That's why we're singing for gladness. We'll search no more for stars on maps of of deep celestial blue. Geometry with all its charms, we've left behind us too! What care we for old Ceaser, or for brave Ulysses' crew, While we celebrate our Class Forgotten is our Rhetoric, though it's teacher ne'er shall be! We still retain faint memories of the loved Philosophy. We pray that all the High School books, we never more may see! Then we'll be happy for ever- Chorus. The rendition was delightful.

John O'Donnell was the class poet, and his production was quite meritorious. In it he reviewed the three years and gently tapped those who, in this time, left queer marks on memory's page. He closed thus: "Farewell to the scholars, farewell to the schools; Farewell to the teachers who us used to rule; Farewell to the Latin, farewell to the Greek; Farewell to the ponies, that we used to seek." Miss Bessie La Roche charmingly rendered a vocal solo entitled "Minute Song." Miss Florence Hergesheimer presented the insignia to the various members of the class. A neat speech accompanied each present, and the audience enjoyed it all. After her labors were over Miss Hergesheimer received a chair as her present.

A piano solo was then rendered by Miss Ora Leopold, It was entitled "Pride of the Ball." Frank D. Buchman, who was the butt of many a joke throughout the afternoon, now read the class prophecy. He followed in the path of Bellamy in his "Looking Backward" and pictured the vocations of the different members twenty-five years hence. After he was through Miss Sallie Albright portrayed his missionary career. A lovely vocal solo was then sung by Miss Rosa Richards.

The valedietory, by Miss 1 Bessie LaRoche, followed. Miss La Roche is evidentty a believer in the "new woman." At least she wants a woman in the Presidential chair, in the cabinet and on the bench, and poor man was consigned to the kitchen. The farewell and au revoirs were spoken to teachers, schoolmates and classmates. With the song "Farewell to the High School" the exereises, which were voted a success by the parents and friends present, were brought to a close. The words follow: Farewell to thee, oh, High School! Fare-well, fare-well we say! We never more may meet again, As we have done to-day.

Our paths will lie asunder, Some few will part for aye, We'll take thy memory, High School, To cheer us on life's We have formed within the High School, Our friendships pure and true, That though we part for ever, Will last life's journey through, Thou hast witnessed our joys and triumphs, Witnessed our smiles and tears, In our hearts we'll keep thy memory fresh Thro' all our future No more our glad young voices, Shall sound within thy walls, No more our ringing footsteps Shall echo through thy halls, For we must go, while others Come to claim thee year by year, thou forget us, High School, We will keep thy memory Fare-well to thee, oh, High School! On this--Ambition's day. He rules us with an iron hand, We bend beneath his sway, But now fare-well for ever, We leave thy tender care, I For other paths of duty That lead, we know not New Pension Ruling.
