Famous Church Scandal at Huntingdon Again Aired Iktrocked Ministor Loses, Rt. Rev. Ethclbert Talbot, Episco pal bishop of Pennsylvania, last week at Harrisburg attain scored on Rev. Dr. N. T. W. Irvine, a former mem ber of hi clerical flock, on duty at Huntingdon, whom he unfrocked for various things alleged to have been unbecoming to a minister. Irvine charges that he was deposed because he refused to accept into the fold a Mrs. Elliott, of Huntingdon, a divorced woman, and that she and the bishop conspired against him in a way that led to his finding himself outside of tht pulpit. He made charges of conspiracy against Bishop Talbot, and Bishop Dudley, of Ken tucky.at the request of Drs Harris and Odell, of Philadelphia, the presenters, acting on behalf of Mr. Irvine, ap pointed a board of inquiry, nine of the members of the sixteen appointed meeting in Harrisburg last July and hearing evidence, after which, by a vote of five to four, they decided that the charges were not sufficient to haul Bishop Talbot before the board of bishops. This did not satisfy Dr. Irvine and his presenters, and they looked for more evidence, and claimed to have found it in the form of an affidavit made by a man named Dewees." Bis hop Dudley called the board to meet ir. Harrisburg. The Dewees affidavit was read, and it was to the effect that at the resi dence of Mrs. Elliott, in Huntingdon, Bishop Talbot, referring to a suit brought in court against him by Irvine, had said to the witness: "Keep the divorce question out of the case, for that would be Irvine's strong point," and also said, injurious things against Irvine. - The board decided that this was not new evidence under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, the rules of evidence of which govern the board. A resolution to that effect was adopt ed, as was also one that, in the judg ment of the board, np further pro ceedings by way of presentment on the charges prefetred against the. bishop should be countenanced. Pastor's Resignation Accepted- The congregation of the Baptist church at a numerously attended meeting held in the church Wed nesday evening of last week, ac cepted the resignation of the pastor, Rev. J. D. Smith and the following resolutions were adopted unani mously. Wiierkas, Our paster having oflered Ins resignation to the church to take effect the first Sunday in January iy03. Therefore, be it Jiesolved, That the church, un der brother Smith's pastorate, has been greatly blessed, both spirit ually and temporally, aud as a church, we have appreciated his untiring efforts in behalf ot the cause of Christ and the church, and regret the necessity of a climatic change. Resolved, That with a great deal of regret, we accept his resignation, trusting the Lord is leading both pastor aud people in this decision. We further resolve, that should the pastor's physical condition ue- cessitate a change before January 1st, that his relation as pastof can be severed at his pleasure, through arrangements with the deacons. . . . Gold Watch Fell Into the River- The Danville Mornmg News of Tuesday says: "Miss Martha Lobach of Cambra, Luzerne County, who is at present at the home of Miss Keeler East Market Street, met with a serious loss on Sunday. With some com panions she was standing on the side walk of the river bridge when her watch in some way became -detached from her clothing and fell into the river, where the water was at least ten feet deep. In falling it struck the floor in such a way as to cause the case to fly open. The river is yet too muddy to en able one to see the bottom, so that there is no way of telling whether the watch may be recovered or not. The current is quite strong at the point where the watch fell in, and as it flew open the probability is that it was caught by the current and carried so'Tif dir'-infe. ke'""!;. , as ihe watch was r present trom her tatuer now deceased.

Berwick's New Steel Plant- The new steel plant of the Ameri can Car & Foundry Co., at Berwick, in which the fires were lighted last week is one of the most complete in dustries of its kind in the country. Every machine in the plant will be electrically driven every machine will have its own electric motor. A tunnel aoo fset long, 10 feet high and 6 feet wide conveys twelve immense electrical cables to different parts of th'e plant, carrying all hydraulic arid pneumatic power. The plant has a building entirely devoted to heating and the exhaust steam system is used. The steam en ters an engine where it heats the water, which is pumped to the heat ing house and from there into all parts of the mill. The steam not used in heating is taken into a con denser, where it is condensed and tne water used over again. Hot air will also be used in heating and will be distributed in underground passages, the largest of which is eight feet, into different parts of the plant. An immense revolving tower is situated directly outside the boiler room to furnish air and to cool the steam. The heating is so arranged that a man using one finger can regu late the temperature of the entire plant. The capacity of the plant will be 40 steel cars a day. A Lesson From the Strike- "There was a lesson in economy in the recent coal famine," said a coal dealer the other day, "that will result in a decreased demand for coal for some time. Families have learned that they can live comfortably with a much less con sumption of fuel thau they used to, so iustead of buildiug up big fires at tha first approach of coid weather and burning nearly as much coal on the mild days that intervene, will use the contrivances they have been using this fall." ..... . .
