HEW METHODIST OHUEOH.
Ground Broken on Last Saturday. Addreisoi
by tha Different Pastors ot the Town.
An Account ot tho Exercises.
In accordance with a notice previ
ously given, a large number of people
assembled at the corner of Third and
Market Streets last Saturday afternoon
at four o'clock, for the purpose of
breaking ground for the new Metho
dist church which is to be erected at
that location. Not only were the
members of the church out in full
force, but the crowd was augmented
by representatives from the different
denominations, as well as their pastors,
thus showing a fraternal spirit, and
the interest they had in the enterprise.
The exercises were commenced by
singing " Praise God from whom all
blessings flow," after which, Rev.
Conner led in prayer in which he
invoked the Divine blessing not only
upon the work in which they were
engaged, but upon all the congrega
tions of the town. In the few remarks
which he made, he said among other
things, " that we are met here to day
to break ground for a new church,
and whilst it is to be called the Meiho
dist Episcopal Church, we are glad to,
and do recognize all denominations
The fact of these different minister
being present on this occasions is
an evidence of the good feeling that
exists among the different denomina
tions." lie then introduced Rev. G.
E. Weeks pastor of the Baptist church.
He said, " that the fact of so many
people being present proved that other
people in the town, beside the mem
bers of this particular church, are
interested in this enterprise. We are
glad when a substantial building is
erected in our town, and much more
so, in this building, as we recognize
the fact that it is to be the house of
God, and is being built for the ad
vancement of His kingdom. I am
glad to be present, and wish you
abundant success from the start to
the finish. When I think of the souls
who will find Christ in this new edifice,
and the yet unborn generations who
will be here taught to love God, I can
do nothing else than wish you success
in your undertaking, and pray that
God will abundantly bless you. I am
glad to be here with you on this oc
casion, and will be pleased to be with
you at its dedication, and I bring you
the congratulations and greetings of
my congregation.
Rev. C. H. Brandt of the Reform
Church, said, in substance," I can
foim some idea of the determination
it took to start this enterprise. There
is always in movements of this kind,
a great deal of doubts and misgivings.
Some questioning the feasibility and
possibility of doing the work. You
certainly deserve the congratulations
of the entire community. Your church
in the past has been doing a noble
work in this place, as it has done in
other Towns. This building will be
an honor to the town, and one of
which we can all feel proud, and the
community is to be congratulated up
on its erection. It will increase the
value of other property and will be
come a center attracting people to
ward doing good. This is to be a
house of God, and its erection will be
an incentive for harder work on the
part of the other churches. The fact
that it will undoubtedly be the finest
in the town, should not make others
envious, but they should rejoice in it.
I biing to you the congratulations of
my congregation, and hope that it may
be a place where God will be pro
claimed and many led to Christ."
; Rev. Johnson, of A. M E. Church,
said " that I too, am glad to be "here,
and am glad I am a Methodist. The
erection of every church makes a town
better. I am glad I am a Methodist
' for two reasons. First, because, it
was the first church to extend a help
' ing hand tr the colored race, and
second, on account of the great work
it is doing among that class of people.
. I wish vou God's speed in the noble
work in which you are engaged."
After singing, "All Hail the Power of
Jesus name,". Rev. George W. Currin,
of. the United Evangelical Church,
upon being introduced said, "you
have gotten too big for your church,
but I hope the church you propose
erecting' will never be too large for the
congregation. Representing the Unit
ed Evangelical church of this place I
bring you greetings from my congrega
tions and hope that your labors may
be crowned with success.
Rev. P. A. Heilman of the Luther,
an Church, among other things said,
" that there is an old adage vliich says
' "well begun, half done," consequently
you are half way through with your
labors. We are here to wish you well,
We have pride in you, inasmuch as
you belong to the town. A town is
always measured by iu public build
ings and is the first thing that attracts
the attention of strangers. I am, glad
for the sake of Christianity, that this
building is being erected, and hope
you will rear such a structure as will
make you all rejoice. You have com.
menced this afternoon at the bottom,
which is the right place to begin.
Hope that while you are breaking
ground, you will also' break out in
larger influence for good. Your pas
tor is characterized for the spiritual
influence he sheds over you, and I
hope that it may extend to the mem
bers of all the congregations in the
town. I rejoice to see the broad
spirit of Christianity displayed in
this place, and hope it may broaden
and deepen and bind us all together in
one common brotherhood. You hae
my sincere wishes that special success
may crown your efforts. A collection
netting a snug sum was then taken,
after which the horses were hitched to
a plow and the first ground was brok
en. C. C. Peacock Esq. who lays
claims to being something of a farmer
desired to have the reputation of hav
ing been the first to break the ground
for the new edifice, but it was soon
apparent, that whilst he was a good
business man, and, thoroughly under
stood the business in which he was
engaged, he knew nothing about
ploughing. Rev. Conner then took
hold of the handles and convinced thr
assembly that this was npt the first
time he had held a plough. Geo. W.
Corell, who is a farmer, then took hold
and showed them how it should
be done. A ws.gon being on
the ground it was soon filled
with eaith each one present throwing
into it a shovelful. The work of of
excavation was continued Monday by
William Ferguson who has the con
tract, and the foundation walls will be
immediately erected.
Success to the enterprise.

BICYCLE SHOP BURNED.
Monday evening about five o'clock
the town was aroused by hearing the
cry of "Firel" "Firel" Investigation
proved that the bicycle repair shop of
W. H. Crossley was in flames. The
Friendship and Wynona fire compan
ies promptly responded to the alarm,
but owing to the fact that the wrench
es were being , used in flushing the
sewers, considerable time elapsed be
fore they had a stream of water on the
building. Had they been able to ob
tain water immediately upon their ar
rival, in all probability the building
and contents would have been saved,
as it was, the building is practically
destroyed, together with the tools,
stock and five bicycles. The fire was
caused by the explosion of the braz
ing furnace which Mr. Crossley was
using, and in less time almost than it
takes to write it, the gasoline was
scattered in all directions and the
building enveloped in flames. It was
owned by Moyer Bros., upon which
there was no insurance, but the loss of
Mr. Crossley is covered by insurance.
As it was, it resulted very fortunately,
as had the fire broken out earlier in
the day, when the wind was blowing a
gale, it undoubtedly would have caus
ed a great destruction ofproperty.
STRICKEN WITH PABALYSIS-
Christian A. Earnest was stricken
with paralysis at his home on East
Street, Tuesday afternoon about four
o'clock, and immediately lapsed into
an unconscious condition in which he
remained until he died Wednesday
morning about four o'clock. He was
a son of Daniel Earnest, and was
born near Danville, Montour County,
March 1840. In 1865, October 26,
he' married Miss Elsie J. Robbins,
who with three daughters Bessie,
Mary and Sarah, who is engaged in
teaching at West Chester, survive him
The larger jwrtion of his life was
spent in farming, living on his fathers
farm for many years, and subsequent
ly Vnoving to one in the same County
between Danville and .Washington
ville, where he continued to reside
until he moved to this place about
three years ago. Mr. Earnest was a
veteran ot the late war naving served
in the 9th Cavalry of the Pennsyl.
vania Volunteers, His death was un
usually sad, as up to the time he was
stricken with paralysis he was in his
usual good health, and his family had
no indication that he was to be taken
from them so suddenly and unexpect
edly. He was a consistant member
of the United Evangelical Church,
and contributed largely of his means
and time towards its prosperity. The
funeral services will be held at his
late residence to day,' (Friday) at
12 o'clock noon, and the interment
will be in the cemetery at New
Columbus.
