The New Presbytorian Church Conscerated Sabbath Morning, The new Presbyterian church was dedicated on Sunday morning as an- nounced in these columns last week. The morning wes extremely warm and no doubt many were kept from witness ing the consecration services owing to the dread of the heat. As it was however, the main audience room and Sunday sohool room were well filled. Rev. Free. man, D, D., pastor of the Huntingdon Presbyterian chureh, filled the pulpit, and delivered au excellent sermon using | as his text, “The Love of God Passeth | Knowledge,” from Eph. 3:19, Dr, Free- man is a brilliant speaker and seldom is it that one has the opportunity of hears sic was rendered by a choir of ladies and organ. Rev. Baskerville, the pastor, arose and read to the andience the financial state~ | ment of the church, as received from the building committee. The church and lot as it stood that morning cost $4,791, 27. Of that amount over $4,000 had been raised and there still remained an indebtedness upon the building of over $600, which sum they hoped to raise be- fore dedicating the edifice. At the in- bin, Joshua T. Potter, Joseph Gilliland | and G. L. Goodbart circulated subscrip- tion papers through the congregation and after some zealous work by the gen~ tlemen the pastor announced that suffi with the money room during the picnic, to free the | church of its entire indebtedness, and | the dedication would then be proceded | with, | Rev, Gerly, of Lewistown, then read | the first nine verses of the 9th chapter | of 1st Kings, relative to the dedication of | Soloman’s Temple. Rev. Dr. Freeman | also read a portion of scriptore, after | which Rev. Baskerville offered up a was dismissed a short time alter. | Services were aleo held in the after. | noon, Rev. Gerly, of Lewistown, occus pying the pulpit. Dr. Freeman again | occupied the pulpit in the evening. The building consecrated Sunday morning was started about two years | ago, by a former pastor of the flock, Rev. | Kerr. From the outstart it was the in- | tention of the committee to go on with | the work only as sufficient funds were | in band, and the process of erection was thereby slow. The congregation has been without a house of worship for years and first held services in the Cens tre Hall Evangelical church, and after- wards worshiped in the Reformed church. The need of a building of their own was greatly felt, but the congrega~ tion being small they felt it a great task to assume with so few members. The building is of brick with slated roof and of a modern design, The ens trance to the main audience room is through a epacious vestibule, From srched doorways one is admitted to the Sunday school room aod the main sudience room. The interior has been b autifully frescoed and the ceiling is of yellow pine of bard oil finish, with great rafters exposed, which are also fin- ished in oil, preserving the natural color of the wood. The choir is seated in an arched recess back of the pulpit. Yels low pine is also used in the wainscoting to the height of about five feet from the floor, The floor is covered with a carpet which is in perfect harmony with the surroundings, The pews are of antique oak and are circular in form with easy and comforta- ble cushions upon them, the magnani- mous gift of Mrs. Martha Odenkirk. Light is admitted during the day through eight memorial stained glass windows in the audience room and through four memorial stained glass windows in the Sunday school room, which room can also be thrown open and used in connec, tion with the andience room. A hand- some reflector sheds its light over the congregation at night, This was pre~ sented by Miss Emily Alexander, whose contributions and Zeal added greatly to the completion of the building. The ac- caustic properties of the building are perfect and the speaker can be heard with distinctness, in the rear as well an in the front. It isa handsome building, though not large, yet all told, three hun dred persons can quite comfortably be seated, and our Presbyterian brethren can well feel proud of their house of worship, and more so since it is entirely tree of debt. A bell yet remains to be purchased, but funds have already been raised towards the purchase of one and Centre Hall will soon hear ils peals re verberating through its precints, The building committee who had charge of the erection of the sacred edis fice were J.C. Boal, J. M, Gilliland, Geo. L. Goodhart, W. H. Stiver and B. D. Brisbin, who faithfully executed their duties, The congregation have labored hard the last lew years and on Buoday morning their expectations were reals ized in having a church of their own consecrated to the cause of the Lord, Preliminary services were held severs al evenings previous to the dedication. Rev. Baskerville, officiated on Wednes- day evening; Rev. W. E, Fischer, on Thursday evening, Rev, Dr, Freeman, on Friday evening, and Rev. Gerly on Saturday evening, These services were all well attended. A A ————— we Habit Cloth, Berges, Mixed Cloths, and the Fine Black Cashmers—Garmans; i i ai Daath of Mra.

James J, Mayes, the men who was brought in from Clarence several weeks ago and lodged in jail at Bellefonte for shooting Alfred Lucas in the thigh and resisting an officer, came near effecting his escape from Fort Ishler on Tuesday evening of last week, and would have but for the timely warning of two ladies, It is customary for the sheriff to leave the prisoners out in the jail yard every few days in order that they can ex- ercise and get a breath of fresh air. On that afternoon Deputy Crawford turned them all out in the yard for their cus- tomary outing and they remained there the entire afternoon, and just as it was getting dusk Mayes quickly climbed on a porch roof which stands in the yard, and placing a plece of scantling against the wall, reached the top. There he laid down for several moments so that two ladies who were sitting on & porch opposite the jail would not observe him, but they did just as he was about to jump down on the outside, and they gave thealarm, and he scrambled back ain to the inside.

The Conference is composed of between six~ ty and seventy-five ministers along with their delegates, who were expected to be in attendance at the sessions, and ar rapgements had been made for enters tainment of that number by our citizens but for some reason only about ten mine isters reported and the conference so far a8 ministcrs were concerned was a dismal failure, and adjourned on Wednesday afternoon and acoom- plished only little work at their sessions, It was expected the sessions would be held for several days at least, but owing to the small representation cided to adjourn. ——— tlie ———— A Painful Accident, The Philipsburg Ledger says: “Philip Young, a Curwensville boy, was brought to the hospital on Thursday suffering from injuries received in the Carwens ville lumber company’s mill, where he is employed. While engaged in convers sation with another boy he picked up =a tar rope and thoughtlessly tossed it up over the lineshaft, It caught fast and in a flash jerked him up toward the ceiling, but, fortunately, before he came in con- tact with anything, the thumb around which the rope was thrown was torn joose from the hand by the weight of his body and he was dashed to the floor, and one arm broken in two places below the elbow, The lacerated thumb was fastened to the rope hung to the shaft snd the machinery had to be stopped while it was removed. The injary though painful is slight compared to what would, but for this, have occurred.” A Peculiar Case, The Judge of Cambria counly has a peculiar case on hands to decide. In the June flood of 1889, one William H. Overbeck was drowned at Johostow pn, and now two widows appear to claim the insurance money on his life, one coming from Philadelphia, who claims and proves that she was married to the deceased in 1875, and the other widow proves that she was married to the de- ceased in 1881, at Pittsburg. The Court has possession of the money. and the lawyers are agreed that it shall be dis- posed of ss the Judge shall deem best. pa m——— i —— Another Endowment, The Lewisburg News says: At a mass meeting held in the Beaver Memorial Church, Sunday evening, in the interest of education, over $10,000, were raised toward the endowment of Bucknell Uni. versity, This endowmeut at present amounts to $350,000.

A Thorough Rascal. The Newport Ledger thus shows up how a young chap swindled the good people of Newport: A few weeks since a man calling himself George J. Reiger, put out flashy hand bills about town and the country, announcing a eale of bloods ed horses. The horses failed to come, but Reiger did not fail to borrow all the money he could and lit out, leaving un- paid bills for board, printing, borrowings elc,, to the amount of some §75 or $100. He swindled a number of people st Al- lentown in pretty mach the same man- ner, representing there that he owned a fine farm near Newport, which was false. forward manner, hence it was easy to borrow money and do business on his former credit: It will not be well for him to come to these parts soon again. ———— A Bafe Investment Is one which is guaranteed to briog you satisfactory results, or in case of fail- ure a return of purchase price, On this sale plan you can buy from our advertis- ed Druggist a botule of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.
