Trg NEw LuTHERAN CHURCH DED-
1cATED.—Sunday was a perfect day and |
the members of the Lutheran church of |
this place were correspondingly happy. |
For four years they had been struggling
to build a place of worship to whica
they could point with pride. Trouble
in every form confronted the first efforts
at building, but Sunday saw the cul-
mination of their long work and the
fact that their day of dedication was
blessed with perfect weather was a
source of much gratification.
The first service was held in the morn-
ing at 10:30, and all the other church-
es in town, except two, having been
closed there was a general outpouring of
the other congregations, all eager to
hear the treats in store for them, After
the choir had sung the chorus: “The
Lord is in His Holy Temple’ and the
invocation had been made, the scripture
lesson for the morning was read by Dr.
Laurie, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. The congregation sangand Dr.
McKnight offered a prayer for help and
guidance in the conduct of the service.
Another hymn was sung, then Mr.
Hoshour, the pastor, introduced Rev:
Dr. E. J. Wolf, professor of church his-
tory and new testament exegesis in the
Gettysburg Theological Seminary. His
sermon was founded on ‘““upon this rock
I will build my church, and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it,” and
from it he drew an effective comparison
between the immortal and mortal build-
ing of & church. He said ‘the builder
takes the conglomerate mase of stone,
mortar, wood, iron and other materials
and, apparently without knowing what
he is doing, perfects a structure rich in
beauty and symmetry, but only as the
architect may have designed it.”
Thus he explained that the building of
the material church structure corre-
sponds precisely with Christ’s building
of the church of God. All the elements
entering into its construction being in
the crude state before brought into use
and when the church is complete these
will be a homogeneous, beautiful whole
which has existed in the eye of God,
since the time when the work was be-
gun, This led to a discussion of the
progression of the christian church and
he concluded by referring to the World's
Columbian Exposition as the most con-
| elusive evidence that christianity has
been progressive. The sermon was just
a half hour in length.
Rev. Hoshour made a statement of
the church finances showing that the
building had cost something over
$15,000 of which $11,775 had already
been paid and asked that $4,000 be
raised that morning in order to clear the
debt. The congregation responded
liberally and by the time of dismissal
$2,045 had been subscribed.
The evening service was quite as well
attended as had been that of the morn-
ing and Dr. McKnight’s masterly pro-
duction with ‘the love of God”
as the text of his theme, was greatly en-
joyed. He is the president of Gettys-
burg College and is a man of superior
accomplishments. $850 more of the in-
debtedness was raised and as the Board
of Church Extension had guaranteed
$1000 on the day of dedication, the
trustees assumed the balance and the
pretty structure was dedicated to the
worship of God.
Rev. Fischer, of Centre Hall, and Rev.
Aikens, of Pine Grove, were visiting
ministers of the Lutheran denomination
who assisted in the dedication, The
Bellefonte churches were nearly all rep-
resented by their pastors.
THE NEW CHURCH IN DETAIL.
The new Lutheran church, which now
ornaments the south-east corner of Linn
and Allegheny streets, is a red brick
structure, 50x100 ft. The general ten-
dency in its design is towards the Goth-
ic style of architecture. It fronts on
Allegheny street, but the Linn street
view is quite as ornamental as the other.
Its division is into a church auditorium,
chapel or Sunday school room, library,
study and infant rooms ; all so arranged
with sliding doors that the whole inter-
ior can be thrown together in times of
necessity. The auditorium is 43x43 ft in
the clear, and is finished in dark antique
oak. A neat terra cotta brussels carpet
covers the inclined floor and when the
pretty vaulted ceilings are frescoed it
will make one of the handsomest places
in town. The seating of the auditorium
is semi-circular, thus throwing the pul-
pit in the one corner or exactly in the
middle of the side of the building
whence it commands all the rooms
when thrown into use. The building
throughout is finished in antique oak, and
shades of terra cotta prevail in the car-
pets. The Sunday school room and oth-
ers adjoining it are perfect in appoint-
ment. Just over the infant room and
study isa gallery which will accommo-
date a number of people when entertain-
ments are given in the Sunday school
room.
The building will be heated from a fur-
nace in the cellar and is lighted with gas.
The combination gas and electric fix-
tures forming no small part of its orna-
mentation. The windows are all of rich-
Col. John H. Stover ever bright in the
minds of those who see it from time to
time. Ih the Sunday school room a
handsome memorial window emblemat-
ical of Christ’s saying “Suffer little child-
ren to come unto Me” was placed there
as a monument to May Edith Dale, Ma.
rietta Musser, Annie Margaret Ishler
and Frank F. Harbaugh, four children
who died during the erection of the
church.
The Lutheran congregation is to be
congratulated that they have done so
well in building themselves such a
structure. Their number is small and
for that reason the work was correspond-
ingly large. It is an ornament to the
town and another to our long list of well
appointed and comfortable places of wor-
ship.
——Lock Haven is moving for the
better care of her poor.
——The corner stone fora new Meth-
odist church has been laid in Curwens-
ville.
—— Wall paper at Schreyers.
——The Sugar Valley rail-road boom
is on again. News is getting scarce
with the Journal man.
——Curwensville hus lately passed a
cow ordinance and the council of that
town is getting abused accordingly.
——F. H. Cota, of Long Branch, N.
J., has been called to the secretaryship
of the Y. M.C. A. He is expected here
about the 15th.
Lock Haven for over forty years, died in
that place Monday evening. He was a
well known contractor and builder.
——The fall meetings of the Milton
Fair Association will be held on October
8rd, 4th 5th and 6th. The races will be
one of the features of this year’s fair.
- ——The Williamsport Sun is respon-
sible for a rumor that the passenger de-
partment of the Beech Creek rail-road
will be moved from Jersey Shore to
Philipsburg, on the 15th,
—— Clinton county tobacco growers
report an average crop. Cutting is in
progress now and if the weather contin-
ues good until it is housed they will all
be happy. It has not rusted and there
has been no damage from hail.
——Wall paper at Schreyers.
——A bicycle tournament was held
in Houtzdale, on Labor day, in which
wheelmen from Centre, Clinton, Clear-
field, Blair and Cambria counties took
part. Lester Shaffer, of Curtin street,
represented our flyers and won two of
the events. He took the 1 mile free for
all, against a field of five starters, in 2:47
winning it easy, without even having
been forced to run his time down to the
record he has made on the road here.
Two gold medals were his reward.
~——The Horatio mine, near Punxsu-
tawney, caught fire last Thursday and is
still burning, When the mine first took
fire Tyrone and Altoora fire companies
were called and sent to fight it with
their engines, hut the slope is a long
one and the only way the fire can be
put out is by flooding. An attempt at
this is now being made. A miner
named Moses Hughes and his two sons
were in the mine and suffocated. Their
bodies were recovered Friday evening.
~-— Madaline Merli’s production of
“a story of a kiss’ at the opera house,
on Monday night, was not to be com-
pared with her work as “Frou Frou” in
the engagement here last season. The
play seems to be all right but there are
80 many situations in it that were be-
yond the grasp of the company. Miss
Merli would perhaps have saved herself
the annoyance of the laughter during
all parts of the play had she have had
‘“‘Maurice’’ working on a picture, during
the first act, that bore some slight re-
semblance to the original. As it was
the work of the artist was extremely
farcicial and spoiled the effect of the en-
tiro company’s work.
——The second annual convention of
the Epworth League of Central Penn-
sylvania Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be held in Wil-
liamsport, Pa., Oct. 17th, 18th and 19th,
1898. This convention will be the
largest gathering of Methodist young
people that ever assembled in Pennsyl-
vania. It will bring together the best
heart and the best brain of the young
people of the great Methodist church.
Enthusiasm is already high in anticipa-
tion of the coming of this army of chris-
tian young people. The new opera
house, with a seating capacity of twenty-
five hundred, has been rented for the
great mass meeting, Wednesday Oct. 18,
Dr. Berry editor of Epworth Herald
and two bishops will be present, ‘“‘Ep-
worth Songs will be the singing
book used. Entertainment will be
provided for all delegates. Low rates
at good hotels can be had by all who are
ly colored glass and especial care for har- |
mony was observed in their design. A
large memorial window in the audito-
rium will keep the memory of the late
not delegates. Make your plans that
you may enjoy this great gathering in
one of the most beautiful cities of
Pennsylvania.
——Thos, C. McNerney, a resident of"
WaBN Gor FIveE YeEArs.-—“The
verdict, your honor, is, that we find
John N. Wahn guilty in the manner
and form indicted” wes the way fore-
man McCann announced the decision of
the jury that concluded its inbors on the |
Wahn case last Friday evening.
The story of the arrest of John M.
Wahn, of Lock Haven, at one time sec-
retary of the Y. M. C. A. of that city
and later a “quack” doctor with mas-
sage treatment as his hobby, is a famil-
iar one to the readers of the WATCH-
MAN, His trial for practicing abortion
on the person of Mrs. Maize Winkle-
man, of Nittany Hall, thereby indirect-
ly causing her death, began last Thurs-
day morning and every effort that his
attorneys, Messrs E. R. Chambers and
Wilbur F. Reeder, could put forth to
save him was of no avail as against the
strong chain the commonwealth, repre-
sented by District Attorney Singer and
ex-Judge Orvis, had fastened about him.
There is little use in going into detail
of the crime for which he is now in the
penitentiary as the facts will be all that
are necessary. It was proven that
Wahn went to the home of Mrs. Horace
Winkleman, by appointment in May
last, and there, according to his own
statement, undertook abortion to relieve
her of a fetus. The evidence brought
out all went to show that the accused
had been making a specialty of aborticn
and when he came to be sentenced, in
his statement to the-court, he acknow-
ledged it and said that had he have had
entiresway in Mrs. Winkleman’s case
she would not have died. It was proven
that the abortion upon Mrs Winkleman
had been pre-arranged as all of her child-
ren had been sent away from home and
her two sisters had met there, one of
whom Judge Furst directly implicated
as an accomplice when he sentenced
Wahn.
It took the jury a little over two hours
todecide. It stood 11 to 1 for convie-
tion, on the first ballot, and that one only
hesitated because he had not clearly un-
derstood some statements made during
the trial. The verdict was announced
on Friday evening, but the sentence
was not given until Monday morning
when Judge Furst gave the prisoner
the following : $300 fine, costs of
prosecution and five years at solitary
confinement and hard labor in the
western penitentiary. By good behavior
he will get about thirteen months off,
The sentence was given early in the
morning of court and on the 10:20 train
west. Sheriff Ishler, with Deputies W.
G. Runkle and Williams Collins took
John M. Whan for five years. S. C,
Bennet 1 year for larceny, and W. H.
Young 1 year and 9 months, also for
larceny.
Wahn is an intelligent fellow and
realizes the disgrace into which he has
fallen very keenly.
Waar CoxGrrss MEANS.—At the
present time when all eyes are turned
toward Washington and the people, in
general, seem to be mainfesting a keen
interest in the doings of our Senators and
Congressmen there is danger of a confu-
sion in the minds of some owing to the
several and apparently contradictory
meaning of the word Congress.
The original meaning and use of the
word Congress was as a collective term
by which the upper and lower. branches
of our national government were des-
ignated. The one being spoken of as
the upper house of Congress, the other,
as thelower house. But as the upper is
made up of Senators it ‘came to be
known as the Senate, while the lower
house became popular as Congress.
The danger of confusion in the use of
the word is in reading an article which |
says ‘Congress has repealed the Sher-
man bill,” or something similar, when
it has, and has not. The lower branch
of, Congress has repealed it, but the Se-
nate has not voted on the measure yet,
hence Congress cannot besaid to have
repenled it until both branches have so
acted. Just a little care will soon lead
to a clear understanding of the dual use
of the word.
Ar CounciL MonpAaY NIGHT.—
Monday night was an uneventful one
with the councilmen, excepting in the
little “dab” they gave the chairman
of the Street committee by voting that
hereafter he can employ no one but res-
idents of the borough to work on the
streets.
A scarcity of water was reported from
east Bishop street and another complaint
was lodged against the bad condition of
south High street, on Reservoir hill.
Both were referred to the proper com-
mittees. The Fuel and Supply Co.,
was granted permission to erect an oil
station in the hollow near the car works.
The privilege was granted for a period
of ten years. All committees reported
favorably with their work. The treas-
urer showed that the finances of the
borough are in a deplorable condition,
without much prospect of improving,
aud council adjourned. :
——The tenth annual convention of

General’
ATTEMPTED TO FIRE THE PRESBY-
TERIAN CHURCH'—At an early hour
last Saturday morning the sexton’s wife
went into the Presbyterian church, at
the end of ‘Howard street, to get it ready
for the Sunday service and the moment
she opened the door she noticed that the
immense edifice was filled with smoke.
She immediately ran to the home of
trustee John C. Miller, who lives a few
doors down on Spring street, and awoke
him. Upon investigating he found
that the fire was located near the pulpit
and running to the rear of the church
he discovered a rear basement door
burned through and flames burning
fiercely at the joists. A dozen or more
buckets of water saved the beautiful
church from destruction.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary as a charred peach basket
in which bad been inflammable mater-
ial was found outside the door where it
began. Had it not been for the timely
discovery the church would have been
in ruins now. If such fiends are caught,
a rope with a noose would not be too
good for them.
