The grounds were brilliantly illuminated last night by electric lights in honor of the great attraction of the week, the public wedding, which was witnessed by 10,000 people. The couple was driven to the ground in an open barouche, and as they ascended the flower -bedecked stage the Ephrata Band played a wedding march. First came the flower girl, followed by the best man and maid of honor. Then came the bridal pair, Frank Himmelswright and Miss Minne Frankford, a mighty cheer greeting them as they ascended the platform. After prayer by the chapain, A.

C. Leonard, the nuptial knot was tied by Alderman Spurrier. After congratulations by several thousand people the couple left for a wedding trip to Washington, D. C. They were the recipients of presents to the value of several hundred dollars from Lancaster merchants.

Leader. THIS MURDER WON'T OUT. bound Eungarians Will be Siient as to the Catasanqua Murder. From the South Bethlehem Globe. Stephen Gussik and John Shunshay, a brace of Hungarians charged with riot, which occurred night of September 23 at Catasauqua, were heard before Justice Krauskopf.

The riot was the one in which John was fatally shot. Gussik and Shunshay are implicated in the brawl, but no evidence was obtained whereby either of the accused could be charged with the murder. John and George Vosco, brothers of the murdered man, were witnesses against the prisoners, but on account of alleged membership in a lodge which the prisoners are said to belong, no evidence that would point to the criminality of the accused was given. The Voscos are said to know who the murderer or murderers are, but the binding oath of a secret order of which they and the other rioters are alleged to be members, i9 believed to be the impediment which will make it difficult to mete out justice the case, and may render futile all attempts to convict. The oath of membership of the society is believed to be such that a betrayal of a member or members by a person or persons belonging to it, is regarded as sufficient cause for the informer's assassination.

It is likened to the Mafia of Italians, the terrible influence which has been explained at various times by persons who have been hounded by it, and have suffered death on account of violation of its unlawful and murderous code. Justice Krauskopf stated that unless testimony of a much stronger nature can be produced the prisoners will be acquitted of the charge of riot and that the charge of murder, for which it is intended to try them, will also be dropped. LOAD OF FAST TROTTERS. Dr. Balliet Euys the Cream of Rush County Horses.

Dr. A. H. Balliet of Balliet Biery, Allentown, has just shipped a carload of the highest class road horses that were ever shipped from Rushville by any shipper even in the days of higher prices, says the Rushville, Graphic.

At a meeting of the Finance Committee last evening the following was passed: "That the mayor be requested to notify without delay the Allentown Paving and Construction Company to have all material for the use of the construction of the sewer now stored on Seventh Street between Linden and Hamilton, and in the Square removed, and to have no trenches open and the manholes securely covered at the southwest and northwest corner of Seventh and Hamilton Streets not later than noon of October 18, 1899, and, in case of failure to comply with said notice, to direct the city engineer to enforce the notice after 12 o'clock of said day at the expense of the contractor."

The fall opening at Hess 831 and 833 Hamilton Street, is now in progress, and will last until to-morrow night.

The firm has outdone itself in the size and up-to-dateness of its stock, and an inspection of what is in this store gives one a complete insight into what will be form in women's wear this fall and winter. So popular has this firm become that it is obliged to carry a stock beyond the store's capacity, and in many of the departments there isn't any chance for display. Thus thousands of dollars' worth of fine fur goods and scores of $30 and $40 coats are jammed together in corners, where there isn't any opportunity for admiring them. The firm began with only the street floor and soon added the basement. It has found it necessary to enlarge again and has secured the whole second floor.

BARNETT MAY REAPPEAR. Democrats are Using His Retirement Against Aim. Republican leaders are uncertain whether or not it was a wise move on their part to take Colonel Barnett off the stump, and they are already considering the advisability of putting him back again to finish the tour that was mapped out for him.

The retirement of Colonel Barnett gave the Democrats an opening which they were not slow to take advantage of. They declared that Colonel Barnett was silenced to avoid a discussion of state issues, especially with reference to the conduct of the state treasurer's office. The Republican managers are aware of these allegations of their opponents, and believe that the best way of answering them would be to announce the return of Colonel Barnett to the band of Republican speakers. Republican State Chairman Reeder said that he believed Colonel Barnett would resume speech making. "I have not seen him," said General Reeder, "but I anticipate that he will be in good shape in a few days." The poor receptions the bands of orators are meeting with are another incentive why Colonel Barnett should resume his attendance at public meetings.

The Republican leaders believe that if he is advertised to speak larger will be attracted to the meetings because of his position as commander of the "Fighting Tenth," and the tour of his party will be more of a success. EAST STROUDSBURG BREWERY. A Pastor Prays That the Curse of God May Rest Upon At a public meeting held in East Stroudsburg, the pastors of the town, who took such an active part in the crusade against the big brewery that is to be built there, made addresses and prayers remarkable for their violence of language. Rev. E.

E. Dixon prayed that the curse of God may rest upon every brick that goes into the construction of the new brewery and that the breath of the Almighty may consume the beams thereof. Rev. Mr. Posten made an earnest address.

The Rev. Mr. Crawford spoke in his characteristic way, advising all to ostracise the liquor dealers and their families and not to accept any favors of them. He cited several instances in which people refused large contributions for the erection of benevolent institutions because the money was blood money. Some Desirable Recruits.

The formal reception by the members of Salem Reformed Church to their new pastor, Rev. Dr. Allen R. Bartholomew, and his family took place in the chapel last evening. The large auditorium was filled with members and friends of the congregation eager to extend a hearty welcome to the pastor.

Tastily arranged palms and potted plants on the platform back of the chancel produced a pleasing effect. On the platform with Rev. Dr. Bartholomew and Superintendent of the SunSchool Hunsicker were seated many of the Allentown pastors. Of these the following made short addresses, in which paid glowing tributes to Dr.

Bartholomew and expressed the wish that his relations with the charge might prove pleasant and advantageous: Dr. Wagner and Rev. Messrs. Schoedler, Frantz, Stevens, Oswald and Hacker. Dr.

Bartholomew responded in a few well chosen words, which impressed his hearers that he is thoroughly in earnest and anxious to be a pastor to his congregation in the fullest sense of the word. The carried out: invocation, following, program, was, Gloria Patri and creed; hymn, "Love divine, all love excelling;" prayer; addresses; hymn, "I'll Live for Thee;" addresses; hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds;" addresses; closing hymn, "Soldiers of Christ, Arise!" To this must be added two numbers which did not appear on the program, but formed very enjoyable parts of the evening's service, an alto sola, "Jerusalem," by Miss Jennie George, and an by the choir, "Bounteous Mercy." Just before the close of the exercises Master Howard Ruhe, son of Organist H. E. Ruhe, stepped forward and in a well-delivered speech presented to Dr. Bartholomew a beautiful bouquet.

At the conclusion of the program the congregation moved forward and shook hands with the pastor, welcoming him personally. DOUBLY BEREAVED. Sweetheart Loses Lover and Father at One Stroke. W. A.
