REFORMATION ANNIVERSARY. Nearly Four Hundred Years Since Martin Luther Began His Great Work, Testerday, Oct.

31, being the 880th anniversary of the founding of th Lutheran Church, services arnimenm. rative to the day were held In St. John's uutneran church and in Christ Luth eran unurcn. The pastor of the latter. Rev.

H. F. J. Senecker. preached in th morning irom tne text, Ephesians 4:15, jdui ine iruin in love, may grow up into mm in an tnmgs, which ia me neaa, even unrist" He gave a brief sketch of the life and work of Martin Luther and the work he aceom.

plished during the time of the Reforma tion. When Luther was a boy, one day, accompanied by a companion, he was crossing a field. Suddenly a terrible electrical storm overtook them, flashes oi ngninipg constantly piling the air wun us terrioie light. A bolt sudden ly struck; his comnanion. kllllne him Instantly.

rThls so appalled Luther that he fell On his knees and prayed that he De spared, promising to devote his life to tne cnurcn should his prayer be answered. j.uib promise was iaitniuuy Kept as the church to-day demonstrates, there being over 50,000,000 of Lutherans in the world and the church is growing in numbers and wealth faster than anv other denomination. In the evening a special program was rendered, consisting of responsive reading, singing selected hymns by the Sun- aay scnoot ana an address on "Home Missions-" by tne pastor. During the address the pastor called attention to the fact that Luther In his German translation of the bible gave to the Germans the German literature as Shakespeare gave to the English much or its English literature. This transla tlon was made during his residence at Wartburg, where he translated the bible from the original Greek.

An of fering for home missions was made by ine scnooi. In St John's Church Rev. Dr. Trabert preached an excellent sermon upon the same subject. Common Fleas Minutes.

Call For He hp, A the cold weather approaches there has been so great call of late upon the United Charities, 54 Northampton street, for doth tag aad shoes that they are la great need or wokH artlclea. Aay eootrffcationa of that ktnd by the caar- I tatty inclined will be thankfully eeired aad gracefully acknowledged. If not convenient to send be kind enough to dm? postal and they win be ailed Mia OabUIIMaa- Here the party divided and searched for the missing men in various sections of the Diamond vein.

James Campbell, who was one of the party, made a circuitous route and searched for traces of the missing men. For some time he waa unsuccessful, but eventually found 1 an' oU can between the track, which wa tangible evidence that the men fled in what direction. He immediately erf "Hello!" and was greatly relieved tfjf receive a response. Lifting his lamp Baw Tamkoski in kneeling position, and was somewhat- surprised to see hlrn jump up and ran toward him. gave Campbell every reason to belieVe that the others also were alive, but he was quickly assured by the Pole that they had been deadUsome hours.

By this time the other members of the rescuing party had arrived and the bodies of the six men were recovered. Tamkoski was found fully 2,000 feet from the air bridge, or about 2,600 feet from the mouth of the slope. Strange to relate, that of the seven men, he was the furtherest from the mouth of the slope, but Campbell having taken a circuitous route came to him first. Five hundred feet away from Tamkoski were found the bodies of fire boas Hill, John Farrell, John McDonnell and Thomas Padden. Hilt was found in a kneeling position and appeared to have died as in prayer, his hands being tightly clasped.

Fifty feet beyond was found the body of young Moran, who had fallen behind a loaded car. The body of Michael Walsh was found sixty feet up the plane. From the fact that four of the bodies were found almost huddled together it was surmised that they had given up all hope, while Walsh and Moran had evidently endeavored to escape when overcome by the smoke. Tamkoski waa brought up the slope as quickly as possible and appeared to have suffered but little from his in- carceration of eighteen hours, as he walked to the office, about 1,000 feet away, assisted by two of the miners. KIN TAKAHASHI.

This Entertaining Japanese, on Hia Way to Hia Native Land, Stops Off in Wilkes-Barre. A good many people in Wilkes-Barre have some to know Kin takahashl, the young Japanese who came to this country eleven years ago to be educated. They know bow after embracing Christianity here and being disowned by his parents in consequence, he made his way through college by his own unaided efforts. How he felt that he wanted to show his appreciation for Maryville (Tenn.) College and the T. M.

C. which had done so much for him. How he has spent two years since graduating in raising Jhe. necessary funds and hftw the building is about completed, he hav ing obtained the (8,000 necessary for ita construction. He ia now on his way to his home in Japan and his parents are reconciled and eagerly awaiting his coming, though they are heathens his mother being a Buddhist and his father a He wants to see hia many friends before he goes and to that end is mak J-irrg" a farewell trip.

He shouted "run for your life," and grabbed bold of tire boss Hill, but could not move him. He then stumbled over Moran and ran to the airway, but 600 feet away, -when be iouna a naven of refuge. 1 xamnoskl then related the parting uiuiuciiu. nrs doss mil being overcome by the foul air and unable to move, gasped out, "Good bye, give my love to my wife and children."

They made an effort, but were compelled to turn back, owing to the difficulty in breathing Every other known exit was tried, but in vain, and almost ten hours were occupied in attempting to escape from the death trap. While some of his companions were dead and others dying, Tamkoski thought the old airway to the shaft and thus saved his life. He said that Hill made regular notes in a small book.

He could not give any explanation- of the origin of fire, merely, stating that SWieHed, the smoke about 1:30 o'clock when they tried to escape to the slope, but could not owing to the dense smoke. Large gangs of men were at work during the day removing the debris in order to restore the ventilation and to get at the fire, but progress was exceedingly slow, owing to the immense rocks that had fallen, making them un-wieldly and difficult to handle. New timbering also had to be placed along the slope in place of that destroyed by fire. This was done as rapidly as possible, but progress was necessarily slow as each piece had to be cut to the length to suit the particular spot in which it was to be placed. Some of the miners engaged in clearing the debris managed to crawl over for a considerable distance, but found that the gangway was effectually blocked near the middle of the fall.

The origin of the fire Is a mystery. From years of daily use the bridge became well covered with oil, which dripped from the cars as they passed over. Adjacent also was a pile of loose lumber which had been there for years and had become thoroughly dried and impregnated with oil in the same manner. It may, therefore, be surmised that this pile of lumber and the bridge were In an inflammable condition. The usual naked lights are used in the mine and, as is well known, sparks will occasionally drop from them.
