1I0EE EYIDEXCE TO BE HEAED TO-DAY
The most interesting feature occupying
the attention of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference, at the East End, is the investi
gation being conducted by a large star-
chamber committee into charges made
against the Eev. John A. Danks. The con
ference sat yesterday only during the fore
noon. A committee of three was appointed
to audit the accounts of Treasurer Horner.
Annual reports were made by Presiding
Elder Johnson, of the Blairsville district,
and Presiding Elder Eaton, of the Alle
gheny district.. The latter wa applauded
when he said that every congregation in his
district wsn unanimous ior prohibition.
Eev. Dr. William Cox was removed from
the superannuated to the effective list.
ISisliop .boss called tne attention 01 me
conference to the Methodist Ecumenical
Conncil, which will be held in New York
inl91. This is the great international con
ference of the denomination, and each con
ference is entitled to one clerical and one
lay delegate. Eer. Messrs. Ncsbitt and
Meachram were appointed to nominate dele
gates at the conference session next year.
Tarentum, TJniontown, Monongahela City
and Green&burg were nominated for the
conference meeting in 1800. Greensburg
was selected. Conference adjourned until
this morning.
A 3i'KEESrOET SQUABBLE.
Some interest has been excited among the
conference attendants by the case of Eev.
E. B. Mansell, of McKeesport, but it is
generally stated that, the disagreement be
tween that minister and a large minority of
his church will not come before the confer
ence or any of its committees. Whether he
will or will not be returned to the First
Church of McKeesport rests entirely with
the Bishop and his cabinet of presiding
elders, and their decision will not be made
known before Monday afternoon.
Eev. T. J. Leah, chairman of the Danks
committee of inquiry, called the members to
meet mm in tne church lobby alter dinner,
and he condncted them thence to the meet
ins place, in a hall over the hardware store
of Hall & Nelson, at No. 6231 Penn ave
nue. Tne committee c insists f 15 mem
bers, of whom Eev. Mr Leak is the only
minister from either ot t e two cities. The
members seem to have bi en taken from dis
tant points, so that the; would be without
personal prejudices in the matter. Eev.
Dr. W. B. Watkins. se xetary of the con
ference, was elected se rctary of the com
mittee. Mr. Thomas U ashford, the insur
ant agen who is a member of the Mt.
Washington M. E. Church, and its Sunday
school superintendent, attended as the
prosecutor, and was represented by Eev. E,
1. Miller as counsel. Colonel Danks and
his counsel. Eev. J. Franklin Gore, were
rlso present. I
THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
The general charge made against the
militant preacher is that he has been guilty
of conduct unbecoming; a minister of the
gospel. The principal specification is based
upon a threatening letter which Eer.
Colonel Danks wrote to Mr. Blashford. This
letter was read to the committee, and is as
follows: j
SIT. WASmxGToJx, Pittsburg, j
October 26, 18SS. J
Sm 1 am going to move away from Mt.
Washington next w eek. II do so to avoid meet
ing yon, for I am only human and have an
infinite d!ust for liars, sneaks and slanderers.
In my past life I have seen better men than you
ever were bite the dust, jl am afraid of myself.
It I should meet you it is possible you might
meet your doom. The best thing vou can do is
to avoid me on all occafon, for. rest assured,
I bate liars, sneaks ana cowards above every
body else on earth. Ifciy, when you look into
the mirror, remember yon are looking at a
coward, a sneak and allar. Remember. Tom,
I know a few things yon have been thiuking no
one knows, but theydo, and I say on are a
liar, coward and a snfak. What bare yon to
Bay. you slimy, double-dealing wretch? But I
am wasting my time MTitinc to a coward. I am,
JOHN A-DAIfKS,
Late Colonel Sixty-third Pennsylvania Volun
teers. '
At the Latrobe, Conference held a short
time before thai date of this letter, Eev.
Colonel Danks wjn.s retired from the effective
Est and made su pernucierary. It is said that
he accused Mr. Blashford and other
members of the Mt. Washington church
with having caused his retirement from thdt
charge. Shortly after the letter was written
Mr. Blashlord had Eev. Colonel Danks
placed under f 1,000 bond to keep the peace.
A KEPOKTEE IIEAED.
Tl-e committee yesterday afternoon heard
the testimony of Mr. E. B. Sawyers, a re
porter on an evening paper. He testified
that he had Several talks with Eer. Colonel
Danks andither persons involved in the
matter, in October. 18S9. and that Colonel
Danks acknowledged the authorship of the
letter, 6ayibg that he meant every
word of it, and that it ex
pressed precisely his opinion of Mr.
Blashford. The latter was" examined. He
produced some documents, signed by mem
bers of the official board of the church, bear
ing upon the dispute and sustaining Mr.
Blashford in whatever action he had taken.
The witness went pretty fully into the con
dition jf affairs in the Mt Washington con
gregation, and alluded to the alleged disrup
tion of the church choir by Eev. Colonel
Danks. At 6 o'clock the committee took a
recess! until 730 o'clock.
Daring the recess Colonel Danks said to a
reporter for The Dispatch that he
had' not yet found out what all
the specifications charged against him
were. He added: "This trouble will
noi be understood until all the details are
ljid before the community." Numerous
rumors concerning the charges against the
minister were in circulation at the East
End yesterday. It was said by a number of
the members of the conference that new
charges had been filed which had no rcla.
lion to the letter published above, but no
one could say what these charges were.
CAIXESO MOEE TVITlfESSES.
At the evening session, which was held at
the Emory Street M. . Church and con
tinued until midnight, James Morris and
Dr. W. L. Phillips Were called on behalf of
Mr. Blashford; John T. Hedrick, Henry
Zilk and Tnomas Hodkiuson on behalf of
Eer. Colonel Danks. The investigation de
veloped into a sort of trial of Mr. Blashford
si well as the actual defendant. Eer.
Colonel Danks defended his act of writing
the letter by alleging that Mr. Blashford
had resorted to underhanded methods
to prevent the congregation from
paying to Mr. Danks his lull salary. Much
of the evening examination was directed
to this point The testimony differed, some
-witnesses upholding the pastor, while Mr.
Morris stoutly defended Mr. Blaohford.
Both he and Dr. Phillips claimed that Mr.
Blashford was opposed simply to the
Church's entering into obligations which it
could not perform. Mr. 'Morris showed
considerable feeling in the matter, and said
that the best interests of the Chnrch re
quired Eev. Colonel Danks' withdrawal.
HE DIDN'T TELL ALL HE K2TEWT.
After coming out of the committee room
Mr. Morris said he could hare told a great
deal store about the trouble, tmt that the
H .a-
committee would not give him chance.
The inquiry proceeds very slowly, as the
questions and answers are all written down
carefully by tBe secretary, alter the manner
cf a taker or depositions. The committee
will resume this afternoon.
The Women's Foreign Missionary Society
held its anniversary yesterdav afternoon,
and was addressed 'by Ber. Dr. Irwin H.
Carrel!, recently of Japan; Mrs. J. H.
Brown, President of the Children's Mission

8,000 congregations. Eer. Joseph A. Seiss,
D. IX, LL. D., pastor of the Church of the
Holy Communion, of Philadelphia and
prcbablr the most prominent theologian in
toe Lutheran Church, occupied the pulpit
all morning, opening the council. In his
black ministerial gown, his patriarchial
white hair, and with his measured style
of delivery, he attracted much attention.
The delegates representing Pittsburc in
the council include one of the most distin
guished men in the denomination through
out the country Eer. Dr. W. A. Passa
vant, whose portrait is given above. He is
beloved in this city as a philanthropist,

1SSG, a resolution was passed expressing our
sympathy with our suffering brethren ot the
faith resident in the Baltic Provinces and other
portions of Russia undc. the wrongs and op
pression inflicted upon them by the Russian
Government. The earnest prayer of the
council then was that by the good providence
of God speedy deliverance might be vouch
safed them. But instead of relief, latest ac
counts are that they are being subjected to a
still heavier cross. According to the latest
information the authorities of Russia hare
entered npon a systematic effort to disable and
gradually suppress all German churches and
kcnools in the realm, most of which are
Lutheran.
In the electiou of officers, three ballots

A HEBREW 0PEEA.
A Romantic Drama In Turner Hnlt Dram a
Die Crowd.
The Oriental Opera Company drew a big
crowd to Turner Hall last night, the norelty
ot a German-Hebrew play acting as a
mighty attraction. The playbill was for
the most part in Hebrew, and the title of
the piece was "The Emigrant Shoemaker,
or the Sailor Lad," opera in four acts, by
Herr Tomcshovsky. The language used
was the German patois spoken by the
Hebrew races of central Europe. The
whole opera eridenced the fact that it had
been originally two pieces, which the
author had ingeniously stitched together.
The opera proper dealt with the lores and
sorrows of Miss Eosalia and her sailor hus
band; while there was a 'companion plot, in
which an emigrant Hebrewshoeniaker, com
ing to America, makes many fanny blun
ders, and a host of sage and 'witty observa
tions on the novel manners of the people of
the United States. The villain of the piece
was a TJ. S. nary captain. The emigrant
was admirably performed by M. Gorvcn
stein, while the author, M. Tomcshorsky,
played the sailor and gare fall fling to his
fine baritone voice. Miss Tomcshorsky was
a pretty, if rather languishing, heroine, aud
Mine Greenberg was a capital virago.
The house was most enthusiastic throughout,
and the reporter learned that applause was
the same in Hebrew as it is in English,

MANX PEOMIKENT PEOPLE PEESENT
The opening of the McKeesportandBelle
vernon Railroad was celebrated yesterday
by the officials of the road and the citizens
of the latter place. It was truly a gala day
in the history of Bellevernon, and nerer be
fore did the town present such an appear
ance. The sturdy old Country folk of the
borough awoke from their lethargic slum
bers of orer half a century, and turned out
to do honor to the first railroad line to afford
them rapid transportation to the outside
world.
Bellevernon is a historic little borouch.
It was once a stopping place for Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, Andrew Jack
son and all the illlustrious men
of that day, while on their
way to and from Washington via the old
stage coach route. It lies in a beautiful
spot of country about 40 miles up the
Monongahcla river. The Pittsburg, Vir
ginia and Charleston Eailroad skirls the
south bank of the Monougahela river, bnt
as the people had no bridge to get across to
it, the railroad did not benefit the town very
much. Nearlv nil their business was done
by the Monongahela river packets, but this-
metbod ot transportation is entirely too siow
for the townspeople.
PEOMDfElTT PEOPLE THERE.
On Monday the first train was run into
the town, and yesterday the event was ap
propriately celebrated. A special train of
five cars gaily decorated with flags and
bunting left the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
station at 8 JO o'clock and carried about 100
of Pittsburg's representative citizens to the
town. Among the party were:
William McCreery, W. W. Patrick, J. D.
Scully, Roly Smith, Max Moorhead, Captain T.
Favtcett, Alexander Dempster. Charles Mey
ran. R. J. McClure, J. E. Umstaetter, Ge?rge
HilLJohn hwan. ex-poatmasier of.Allecbeny;
W. R. Holmes, Dr. J. R. Murdoch, John GAffey,
ox-Sheriff of Westmoreland county, and Z.
Dilwortli. Among the railroad men were D. P.
Corwin, Sectetary, P., V. fc C; Georg E. Mc
Cague, General Agent, L. S. 4 M.S.:F. A.
Dean, General Freight Agent, P. k 1 E.; M.
E. Valiant, agent American Express Company;
T. W. Galieger, Division Freight, Agent, B. Sc
O.; F. H. Kennedy. F. G. Ballef and W. T.
Taggart, of the Lake Erie freigW department.
At McKeesport, where the' train left the
"Pemicky" tracks, the parly was joined by
President J. WainwngK, Secretary and
Treasurer W. T. Wallape, General Super
intendent O. A. Bogersand General Freight
and Passenger AgentJ. C. Grooms. At
every point along theline the people turned
out to cheer the train as it sped on over the
smooth and even roadbed. At Webster
and other points the school children were
assembled, and sang songs of joy and good
tidings. At erery workshop whistles were
blown, and when the train pulled into
Bellevernon the noise was deafening.
A BOUSING EECEPTIOiT.
Upon the arrival of the guests they were
giren a rousing reception and escorted by
the crack brass band of the borough, they
marched to a stand where a mass meeting
was held. Dr. J. T. Van Voorhis, ex
member of the Legislature, was the presi
dent of the meeting and delivered the open
ing speech. He began by saying that his
dream of 40 years was realized, thanks to
the shrewdness and skill oy the engineers
of the new railroad. He said the river was
the only means of transportation the town
had enjoyed, and while it was good enough
in its time, the present age demanded rapid
transit and quick returns. He compared
the engineers of the road to Napoleon, who
surmounted all obstacles in crossing the
Alps. He stated that it would be but a
short time until the road was extended to
West Virginia, and would soon be a con
nection of the Chesapeake and Ohio road,
in which a controlling interest is being pur
chased br the Vanderbilts. He said the
road would put new life and rigor into the
town, and nothing could retard its growth
and prosperitr. He predicted a number of
largo industries to be located near them in
the near future.
President J. Wainwright was the next
speaker. He was followed by Hon. George
V. Lawrence, ex-representatire from the
Congressional district. He began by saying
that the dar was an epoch in the history ot
the town, tie reviewed and called attention
to the different methods of transpoi
tation from -the days of the pack
saddle until the present time. He paid
a tribute to the Pennsylrania Eailroad, and
said the dar would soon come when the
journey coufd be made from Pittsburg to
San Francisco in one day. Electricity
wonld be the power, and trains would be
run at the rate of 100 or 200 miles per hour.
SOME LIVELY SPEECHES.
Judge Hunter, of Greensburg, followed
Senator Lawrence. His speech was a re
view of the rapid development of the coun
try. State Senator Bobbins, of Greensburg,
made the speech of the day. He reriewed
the history of the country, and his remarks
were receired with wild applause. Judge
Ewing, of TJniontown, said the county had
not one single railroad 30 years ago, and
gaTe a glowing description of the adrance
ment of progress from the Indian trail to
the telephone.
Letters were read from Congressmen
Bayne, Dalzell and other prominent speak
ers'who could not be present. The meeting
then adjourned and a banquet was held in
the Eoley House. The afternoon was spent
visiting points of interest about the town.
Iu the erening a reception and banquet
were giTen by the citizens of the town.
The new road is 28 miles long and
runs from McKeesport to Bellerernon.
Work was begun upon it some time in
December, 1887. For some time afterward
the company experienced considerable
trouble securing rights of way and only 11
miles were built. The other 17 miles were
constructed since April last. The, capital
stock is $600,000, mostly held by Pittsburg
parties. So far the road has cost orer 51,
000,000. The rolling stock consists of fire
locomotires, fire passenger cars and 100
freight cars. On Wednesday they turned
OTer 77 cars of coal to the Lake Erie Com
pany. The directors of the company are
J. M. Goffey, C. H. Saekrider, S. F. Jones,
E. S. Linton, J. H. Giren, B. L. Wood, Jr.,
and J. Chamberlain.
Tne following named well-known persons
were also present:
E, T. Douglas, J. W. Bailey, Dr. T. L. White,
A.A.U Campbell. J. A. Stelly, A. L. Riggs,
L L Stuckslader, Postmaster J. B. Shale, A

JDMPED INTO THE WATER.
James SIcBride Took a Cold Bath in the
Ohio River.
A man about 25 years of age was seen to
walk down to the Allegheny Ferry landing
at the foot of Main street, in the West End,
yesterday afternoon, and plunge into the
river. Several men jumped in after him
and with much difficulty got him to the
shore. He was unconscious when taken
from the water. Officer Donnell took him
to the Thirtieth ward station. He gave his
name as James McBride and at first said he
lived at No. 19 Wvlie avenue. He after
wards said he was from Allegheny.

IN ALLEGHENY COUNCILS.
Both Branches DIM, bnt Xtttlo Bntlnei
Was Transacted A DIscauIcn onMpna
ment IIIU Improvement.
Both branches of Allegheny Councils met
last night, and neither, transacted business
of much importance. In Select Councils
the report of Controllor Brown was pre
sented for September, showing an ex
penditure of 561,934.73. A number of
petitions and ordinances were also presented.
An ordinance authorizing the issue of
$117,000 renewal bonds .bearing 3J per cent
interest was passed.
A letter was read from City Solicitor
Elphinstone, in which he claimed that the
resolution before Councils to build board
w.ilts"in the countnr districts was illegal.
An ordinance must be passed when they are
a public necessity. Mr. Schad wanted the
resolution nassed. but it wasn't.
A resolution was passed asking the Mayor
to enforce the ordinance forbidding persons
jumping on and off trains.
In Common Councils a number of peti
tions, resolutions, etc., were presented on
the call ot wards. One was an ordinance to
widen Frazier street, and the location of a
switch across Preble avenue to the works of
B. F. Jennings.
An ordinauce was passed placing a license
fee on peddlers. Mr. Neeb also presented
an ordinance regulatingthe vehicle licenses.
President Hnnter called attention to the
fact that the ordinance imposed a license
fee on persons "whether resident or non
residents" of Allegheny, and made no
reference to Pittsburg vehicles, there being
an agreement under an act of Assembly
that a Pittsburg license is good in Alle
gheny, and rice versa. The ordinance was
referred back to the committee for amend
ment. Mr. Eobinson, from the Health Commit
tee, presented an ordinance regulating the
removal and destruction of garbage, which
was passed finally.
The resolution providing for the expendi
ture of $25,000 for the improvement of
Monument Hill was taken up and
occasioned some discussion. Mr. Stauffer
wanted more definite information as to the
proposed improvements than contained in
the resolution. He said that there was a
more urgent need for the money in other
directions. President Hunter 'remarked
that he had receired numerous petitions
from the G. A. K. for the improvement of
the hill.
3Ir. Rudolph added that the city had
promised in 1867, when the soldiers' monu
ment was erected, to improve the hill.
Mr. Stauffer mored to lay the resolution
orer for one month, but the motion was
lost Dy is ayes to S nays.
Mr. Drum said that the Committee on
City Property asSed for $25,000 with not a
scratch of the pen to show what is intended
to do with it. Twenty-fire thousand dollars
would not make a beginning on the Hill: it
would take $100,000, and when $25,000 is
spent it will be a good excuse ior asking for
more. It would only benefit a few people
anyhow, as the Hill is isolated. When the
people from the Ninth, Tenth, Elercnth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth wards ask Councils
for improrements the request is promptly
voted down. Continuing, he said that the
city now has more public ground On her
hands than she can take care of, and is
spending money on posies when the people
need it for neeessary improrements. The
resolution was finally laid orer for a month.
A discussion arose orer some printing au
thorized by the Mayor in a paper not official.
It was postponed indefinitely. A resolu
tion authorizing the transfer of $5,000
from the contingent fond to the city proper
tr fund for current expenses was passed
finally.
HITHER AND THITHER.

nance, and being a powerful orator. Dr. Bern
stein is regarded as a. leader among his people.
For this reason some value attaches to his
opinion of the movement among a class of the
Hebrews to colonize Palestine. After reading
The Dispatch article about the spread of the
scheme to Pittsburg, be came to this office to
say that "all the prominent Hebrews of the
city" are not in the movement by many means.

interests in his country, and is one of those gen
tlemen of the English financial world who be
lieve that it pays to invest money in this coun
try. He said he had no objection to accumu
lating a corner lot out in Colorado if he got it
cheap.
. General W. T. Eckert, of New York, and

The sugar interest is one of vast impor
tance to the people of tbe United States, not
one of whom is independent of it. Tariff
reformers will tell you that-il costs the peo
ple from 50,000,000 to $70,000,000 a year to
make one-tenth of the sugar the country
consumes. This feature adds interest to
Claus Spreckels' professed determination to
get away with the trust which not only in
vaded his preserre on the Pacific coast, but
has lately put the price of sugar up to an
extent that means millions of dollars to the
people of the United States. The big re
finery at Philadelphia is about complete,
and an idea of its immensity may be had
from the insurance on the building, 51,800,-
000. It is said to be the largest sugar re
finery in the world, and its capacity is
4,000.000 pounds, or 11,600 barrels, a day.
It is fitted up with orer 200 Westinghouse
engines instead of the usual arrangement of
belting, and when anything gets out of
order with one or more engines, that part of
the works can be shut down without inter
fering with the rest.
There has been a gTeat riralry among
brokers to get the agencies for the sale of
the product, and there are said to hare been
27 applicants for agent in this city. A cir
cular letter addressed'to jobbers states that
H. P. Dilworth & Co. have been appointed
Pittsburg brokers. It is said the applica
tions for agencies in the West, South and
Southwest foot up over 12,000.
IHE TRUST AFEAID OP HIM.
While some people affect to treat Spreck
els' pronunciamentos with contempt and in
sinuate that he is a man who likes to be in
terviewed, others say the Sugar Trust is
afraid of him, ancVpoint to tbe fact that its
stock, which has sold at 126, is now selling
at S3 or 84, and that the trust has been pull
ing prices down c at a time ior weeks
past
It is claimed that the Philadelphia loca
tion has all the adrantages of New York
and Boston, and added to them a difference
of 2 cents per cwt. in its favor as to New
York and 4 cent' as to Boston in the matter
of freight to the West, Northwest, South
and Southwest. On the lull output of tbe
factory the 2 cents would represent an ad
vantage of about $1,000 a day as to New
York and twice that amount as to Boston,
giringthem but the New England and a
portion of the Middle States in which to
contend on equal terms, and this difference
in freight rates is established by the Inter
State Commerce Commission. As the Penn
sjlvania Eailroad, Baltimore and Ohio-and
Beading Eailwav tracks all run into the re
finery it does business on the ground floor
in this respect.
The Spreckels' party profess to believe
that he is animated by philanthropy or
pride in his war on the trust, bnt there are
otners who think him of the earth earthy,
and predict an early wedding or subsidiza
tion. AN ADVANTAGE TO PITTSBURG.
Mr. D. W. Llewellyn, of T. C. Jenkins',
said the effect of the competition wonld be
to put this city on the same footing as some
other distributing points, which hare here
tofore had an advantage. He opined that
consumers would eventually get the benefit.
Mr. James Flood, of Arbuckles & Co.,
supposed that Mr. Spreckels was only
human. Mr. Flood hadn't any doubt that
Spreckels could get a trade as'large as his
soul desired if he undersold other refiners,
but doubted tbe existence of such a disposi
tion on his part, Mr. Flood thought the
trust able to fight Spreckels if it feltlike it,
and didn't beliere it had pulled down
prices eitberJbecause of fear of him or from
philanthropic motives, but simply because
it was able to dictate prices to the owners of
raw sugars.
Mr John A. Bower, of Dilworth Bros.,
said that if Spreckels wanted to get Pitts
burg jobbers out of the arms of the trust,
he must do it by selling sugar cheaper than
it does. Mr. Bower attributed the decline
in price of sugar to the prospect of a very
large crop next season. He said Spreckels
was rich, but the trust was richer, and what
he might possess in the matter of certain
advantages might be offered in other direc
tions by facilities within reach of the trust.
Mr. Scott, of Allen, Kirkpatrick & Co.,
did not believe that Spreckels had any
notion of playing the role of bull in a china
shop. Said Mr. Scott: "He, Spreckels,
doesn't ask for all our trade, but only for a
share of it."
CUBBY 13 IN DOUBT.
Mr. Curry, of Curry & Metzgar, said he
did not know what tbe effect of the riralry
would do. i.t can only oe toia oy its -operation,
and it has not yet begun to operate.
Mr. Dewhurst, of Hawnrth & Dewhurst,
said: "I hare no Doubt Spreckels will
waken up the sugar trade, but it's too early
to predict results."
'ihe infantile part of the community has
no opinion to express, but hopes that Clans
Spreckels will prove a Santa Clans, who
will fill stockings on Christmas Eve with
sugar plums and sweetmeats so cheaply that
the hearts of all good little boys and girls
will be made sing with joy on Christmas
morning. And the most extreme high-tariff
man will not kick if he can sweeten his cof
fee with cubes at a nickel a pound, or even
Its'. In Cincinnati it is reported that Santa
Claus has talked as though the trust pole
might be long enough to knock the persim
mon and-that there were only $2,000,000
distance in altitude between one end of that
pole and his virtue, and it is supposed by
some that a bagatelle of $2,000,000, 4 per
cent of sugar makers' profits, will not long
stand in the way ol a deal.
HIS T0OL8 STOLEN.
A Carriage Fnctory Systematically Robbed
of 81.200. y
There has been a systematic robbery car
ried on at the carriage works of James W.
Moore, Twenty-seventh and Smallman
streets. It appears that for the past few
months valuable tools hare mysteriously
disappeared without anybody accounting
for them. The firm duplicated the missing
tools a few times, but these, like the others,
were lost Mr. Moore, howerer, got tired
of losing so many, so he put a detectire to
watch how they were lost. The detective's
investigation proved that the tools hare
been carried out a few at & time until Mr.
Moore has lost $1,200. No arrests hare
been made, but it is expected two guilty
parties will be arrested to-day.

w
Honor Fnther (Matthew.
The Ladies' Total Abstinence Society of
St. Mary's Church celebrated the anniver
sary of Father Matthew's birth last night.
St. Mary's Church was crowded, and sereral
temperance hymns were sung. Eer. F. B.
Canevin spoke eloquently of the life and
labors of the great apostle, and drew a com
parison between him and O'Connell.
Eer. FatbeY Sbeedy spoke of thegood ex
ample shown by 80 many ladies in joining
the temperance societies through the diocese.
Women were deeply interested in battling
with drink, which stole away the peace and
purity of the home. The scene shifter, In
temperance, soon turned the happy cottage
into a miserable garret, filled with hungry,
ragged children. He then implored all
present to do their utmost in the temperance
cause. At the close of the celebration all
in the church took the temperance pledge,
and 30 ladies enrolled themselves as mem
bers of the society.

Dr. Larablnr Keads a Paper Abeot Loeai
lets of Interest.
The Westerta Pennsylvania Historical
Society held k regnlar meeting yesterday
afternoon, andf the lew members present lis
tened to a paper on "Pioneer Landmarks in
Western Peansylvania," prepared by Eery
Dr. A. A, Lsjmbing.
He spoke first of the Indian trails across
the mountairis orer which the early settlers
found their way. The old Frankstown
road, part ofwhich is now known as Franks
town areniie, East, End, U a landmark.
Frankstowii, alter which the road was
named, was a little hamlet on the Juniata,
three miles from where Hollidaysburg now
stands. Blair's Gap. named 'alter John
Blair, an early settler, is also an old land
mark. The numerous ferries, which crossed
the rirersnt different points, were old land
marks, also among them Harris' ferry, by
which the r Susquehanna river was
crossed wherejHarrisbnrg now stands; and
McKee's ferry! which crossed the Monon
gahela at McKeesport, named after Darid
McKee7, a Scotchman, who settled at the
mouthof the YYough," about the middle of
the last eenturr.
Mr. Lambing said that iu examining the
sites of some of those early mills, and the
streams by which tbe motive power was fur
nished, he wis surprised to find some of the
streams now merely rills, half a dozen of
which would not furnish sufficient power to
run a mill liow.
Last of all, the crossroads are landmarks.
They are the productions of civilization.
The ciossroeds soon became the location of
a miniature cottage, with its store.its black
smith shop, its tavern, and its big wooden
pump, j
