The ilajoritj of Erie's Citizens, However, Are ttadically IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED BCIIEJIE IFKOM OUR SITCIAL COMMISSIONER. Ekie, March 2. If a shin canal is ever to be built, with the city of Erie as the start ing point, toward the Ohio river it will be naturally of vast interest to this place. But some of the people of this city of breezes are not particularly anxious to see the project become an established fact. One of these persons, for instance, is John A. Keynolds, ot the Anchor Line. Mr. Vople, of the same com pa .y, says Mr. Keynolds is a cou stitutiona and vigorous kicker, and takes particular delight in finding something to kick. But M.-. Keynolds' objection to the build ing of a ship canal are not so unreason able after all, taken from his stand point. Mr. lleynoids says he would not objr-ct to having a canal some thing like the old one, which would require tlie reshipment of lreignt, out ne docs seriously object to an actual ship canal which would permit late-going vessels to pass through without chanjing cargoes. Such a canal, he says, would make Erie merely a way station, and deprive it of much of its income as a terminal point. one or tiif roixrs. Very much of the yards of the Anchor Line ucd foi resbipping from vessel to rail or from rail to vessel would become value less because of "innocuous disuetude." There would also be a good deal more room to snare in the big electors of the Anchor Line. As every man ought to look out for himself first and the other fellow afterward, it is not surprising that Mr. .Reynolds does not relish the idea of an actual ship canal starting from Erie. But Mr. Keynolds is only one individual in this city ot 40,000 inhabitants and very few persons agree with him regarding the ship cau.il. Iu fact, he was the only one who was outspoken in opposition to the scheme. The majority of Erie business men are either indiflerent or decidedly in credulous about a canal. The incredulous folks think the millenium will dawn on the same day that a vessel ol 14 lect draught passes through a canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio river. Yet there are other folks who not only think the project possible, hut are enthu siastic in their commendation of its feasi bility end the wonderful advantages which Erie would reap frnin it. Mr. Brewer, of the State Commission, as a mat ter of course, is one of these. Mr. George L. Moody, a civil engineer who has lived here many years, is another. a DirrniiENT orrNioir. Mr. Moody has taken several levels at the summit, and is thoroughly convinced that an abundant supply of water can be ob tained, and that a canal would help, instead of hurling, Erie. Mention might be made of numerous other names, but these are suf ficient Erie is a very pretty city; it is even pic turesque. Lik'a all ot the cities which have been built within later years, the streets are vide, and the buildings, for the most part, are large and handsome. There are few "squatty" structures. There is evidence of virility aud gaining strength on every hand; but there are no heavy tonnage man ufactories here such as Pittsburg has. IHe manufactories of ine now employ about 6,000 men; have an invested capital of about 59.000,000, and produce about $14, 000,000 of manulactured goods per year. .The taxable valuation is close upon $19,000, 000. Iu comparison with Pittsburg these figures appear small, but when figures get up to the millions their relative value fails to be realized fully. ANOTHER FEATURE. Erie has no rolling mills, no blast fur naces, no manufactory, in. fact, that pro duces or requires heavy tonnage, but it has some valuable factories, nevertheless. A simple enumeration of the chief manufac tories will probably give a comprehensive idea of Erie's industries. The Jarecki Manulacturing Company, Limited, probably does the largest tonnace business in Erie. The company manufac tures brass work, malleable and gray iron pipe, and fittings for steam, gas, water and oif. Employment is given to S00 men, but as the product is all finished material, the tonnage is not heavy. The Erie Paper and Chemical Mills is an other important industry, and one or which Erie is proud, although'a ship canal would neither help nor hurt such an establishment. The 200 workmen employed would regret any project which might make them idle. The Stearns Manufacturing Company, which makes engines, boilers and sawmills, em ploys 350 men. The Erie Car Heating Com pany, which makes steam heating attach ments lor cars, has nearly half a million dollars invested in the works, and employs a large number of hands. Tiinr ABE PROUD of it. TheBurdett Organ Company is one of the enterprises which people in Erie never for get to mention to a stranger who is making in quiries as to the city's industries. The Erie City Iron Works, which manufactures steam engines, boilers and portable saw mills, has an invested capital ol $500,000. The F. F. Adams Company produces novelties in wookwork. The Chicago and Eric Stove Works has its foundry in Erie and $200,000 invested in the establishment. The Ball Engine Company, the Erie Eueine Works, T. M. Xagle and the Skinner En gine Company, all manufacture steam en gines and their various appliances. Tbj other iron working establishments are the Hydraulic Iron Works, Davenport & Fairborn, manufacturers of car wheels and railroad castings: the Erie Car Wnrt the Griswold Manufacturing Company, hollowware; the Erie Malleable Iron Com pany, the Brown Foldiug Machine Com pany, folding, electrotyping and stereo typing machinery; the Bav State Iron "Works, cngii.es, boilers, etc.; N. A. Wat son, boiler iceders; Hubbard & Haskell, file manufacturers; "ttadiant Home" Stove Works and tlie Erie Specialtv Manufactur ing Company. rLEirrr or brass. There are several factories working in brass, and as a matter of course, innumer able lumber dealers and wood-working es tablishments because all lake cities can get Michigan lumber at lower freight rates man can cuies mat have a mil haul. None of these industries, however, indicate a large tonnage. The coal tonnage probably reaches as much as any three or four of the establishments would p'ut together. There are two large firms in the wholesale business in coal m Erie. One of them is the Union Coal Company, dealing in an thracite, and the other is the Youghiogheny Eiver Coal Company, handling bituminous, and of which Hon. W. L. Scott, a man not altogether unknown to fame and cash, U the President. And, speaking of coal, reminds me of the fact that Erie has natural gas for fuel and has had it ever since 18G0. It comes from the shala and not from such gas sands as exist in the Murrvsville district. The sup ply is not strong, but -it is much more en during than that obtained from the storage house sands. OETOil'S GAS IDEAS. Prof. Orton, State Geologist of Ohio, places much faith in the gas obtained from the shales, because, while the supply is lim ited in quantity lor each well aud "the flow is slow.pnly a comparatively small territory is drained by each well, and new wells, just as good producers, can be put down not far from the old ones at comparatively little cost, as they rarely exceed 700 feet i'n depth. The largest ol the numerous wells which supply Erie with natural gas only had 200 pounds rock pressure. Tbcsupply is all in the hands cf one corporation, the "Pennsyl vania company. The luel is not so general ly in ue for domestic purposes as it is in Pittsburg, probably owing to a limited sup ply and high rates," but there are no daily complaints of shortage nor haunting fears of failure, such as exist in what was once the Smoky City. Having used the gas for 30 years, the peo plehave come to consider it as lasting as their water supnly, a sense of security that would make Pi'ttsburgers happier could they entertain it. C. T. Dawson. ACTIVITY LN THE OIL FIELDS. The Drill Krpt Busy mid Severn! Good Well Expected to Come In oon. :srKCIAL TELEGBAV TO TUB DISPATCH.1 Butleb, March 2. The past week has been characterized by great activity in oil speculation, considering the great difficulty in getting supplies to the field. The largest amount of new work under way is iu the vi cinity of Callery Junction. The railroad traverses the heart of developments there, enabling the operators to get lumber to their leases without being compelled to try the doubtful and costly experiment over almost impassable country roads. The only omi nous cloud in the oleaginous heavens, out side of the bad roads, is the unfavorable condition of the market. Operations have been uniformly succets ful in the several fields, and some market breaking gushers have been brought in dur ing the past rew days. The Forst Oil Com pany's Xo. 4, on the Irvine farm at Myoma, which attained a production of 40 barrels an hour on Thursday, has fallen, off to 10, but is expected to recover much of its lost ground when the drill gets further in the sand. The CO-barrel well recently completed on the Thomas Anderson farm, near Mars tt-ition, is surrounded by new rigs, eight derricks having been erected within a small radius in the last few days. In the 100-foot district the same hopeful feeling exists. The Eicholtz, Young, Cable and Humphrey farms wells are holding up re markably well, and other wells just enter ing the pay streak on these farms are filling up with oil and look very promising.

At 2 o'clock this morning the building in which is lo cated the office of the Burgess, the lockup and Council Chamber, was discovered on fire, and before the flames could be gotten under control the entire building was gutted. The Iosr is estimated at 55,000 and is fully covered by insurance. There was one prisoner in the lockup at the time the fire broke out. He was a crazy man named Bcnzin Divilbcss, who for the past week has been roaming the streets pro claiming that he is the "Chief Captain in the Lord's Army of the Dead Sea." He became violent yesterday and was locked up for safe keeping". When his cell door was -7ened he refused to come out, claiming tha the Day of Judgment was at hand and that .. would not be harmed.

Dr. Hays' First Sermon to tlie Nucleus of Bis New Consresation. AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING MADE. Kev. George Scholl, H. D., of Baltimore, on Work Among the Heathen. EXTEACTS FK0M SOME 0THEE SEKM0XS The new congregation of Kev. I. N. Hays', D. D., assembled in goodly numbers yester day at least 300 being present in the even ing m its temporary quarters in Cyclorama Hall, to hear the initial services of the pastor to that portion of his former congre gation who intend to follow his fortunes. The attendance in the evening was particu larly remarkable, considering the iucleai ency of the weather, and Dr. Hays remarked his gratification on observing this fact. The subject for the evening, "Every man must care for his own soul," ras ably dis cussed. Said Dr. Havs: "What must we do to be saved? is the most important question ever uttered, and I hope that there are those in my congregation this evening, who leel the importance of it. God had provided the means ot salvation by sending the Savior to earth, but if God had not sent His .spirit, man would have been as absolutely lost as ifChristbad never died for him. Neither church nor minister could con vert mankind. It wan certainly not what God does, for all that is gloriously done. It was what the individual does for himself, and that lay mainly in his faith. What is faith? is the question asked. It is the be lief in God's word. It was unbelief that made God angry everyday and caused Him iu His wrath to condemn the unbeliever. Men must do their duty, as faithfully as the palsied man who at the divine command of God, took up his bed and walked. Dr. Hays' discourse' was curtailed con siderably on account of the coldness of the room, which, it was stated, would be rectified in the future. TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. Dr. Cownn Talks of tlio Commotion Caused by tho Apostles. Rev. Dr. E. P. Cowan, last evening, preached in the Third Presbyterian Church on the subject, "Turning the World Upside Down." His text was from the Acts of the Apostles, xvii., 6, where the Jews of Thessalonica complained of Paul and Silas as being disturbers, going about turning the world upside down. The preacher said that wherever the apostles went they created a commotion. They did turn the world up side down by effecting a moral revolution. The principle of inertia, he said, made it harder to start a ball rolling than to keep it going after it wae started. For that reason, he held, more power was required to initiate the religious revolution of the early church than to keep the movement under way. Therelore the apostles were giveu extraordi narily miraculous power. Beyond that he held "that Paul had no moral qualifications for success which any man of the present age could not possess." The secret of Paul's marvelous achievements as a preacher was held to be bis honesty. He was honest with himself, honest with his tellowmen and honest with his God. He was unlike many men of this time, who have two personali ties, their reputation differing widely from ineir cnaracier. While Dr. Cowan would not say that there were any dishonest men sitting "before him, he felt that strict honesty was a sorely needed quality in the modern world. Many business men did things, which they called honest, but which would' not exactly agree with Paul's idea of strict integrity. Dr. Cowan said that honesty with God demanded of His ministers a straightforward preaching of the Word without any additions to or subtractions from its truths. There are ministers, he said, who cater to public ap plause by softening the corners of hard truths. They lose in depth what they gain inbreadth. Their careers are brilliant but brief. They have no permanent results. MISSIONARY WORK IN INDIA. Rev. Gcoreo Scboll, D.D., Talks Aboat tho Labors Anions; tho Ucntben. Kev. George Scholl, D.D., Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Luther: n Church, of Baltimore, preached in Trinity Church, Allegheny, last evening. His sub ject was "Missions." He dwelt particularly on the work done among the heathen in India by the Lutheran Church during the last 41 years. There was not a Christian worker in the field in 1819. To-day the gospel is preached iu 335 towns and villages. There are 165 preachers actively engaged in the work, and the number of those converted is between 11,000 and 12.000. Forty years ago the field was a dense dark mass of ignorance. Now there are 52 schools, 209 teachers and over 4,000 scholars. Not onlv the rudiments of a secular education' are taught, but religious instructions are also given. There are 113 Sunday schools, with a combined membership of over 5,000 pupils. There is one college four years old with 15 professors and 352 students. This is a larger institution than many in this country that have been estab lished for half a century or more. Dr. Scholl spoke for over an hour, giving an interesting and instructive account of the work done by his particular church. Other denominations are also working in India and are doing a good work. A STRIKING CONTRAST. Dr. Purves Shows Thero Is Something New Under tbe Sun. Kev. George T. Purves, D. D., last even ing gave "A Significant Contrast" at the First Presbyterian Church on Wood street. Solomon supplied the text: "There is No New Thing Under the Sun," and the rev erend gentleman showed the stats of mind which produced such a conclusion. The selfish man grew tired of the monotony of self, the recurrence of the same pleasures, the same excesses which palled upon the taste as it became more depraved, nnd not looking outside himself he concluded with Solomon that there was nothing new under the sun. The contrast was in the words of the apostle: "All things have become new," and the Christian realizes that fie himself has been changed and in hini all nature changes. This is the Christian feeling. To him the world looks brighter, better and without expecting tbe course of the sun to be changed to north and south for his grati fication, finds pleasure and profit in all that he sees and does and finds some new good to uo every aay. THROUGH THE EYE OF FAITH. Dr. Sutherland Calls Faith tbe Great Power of tho World. Kev. Dr. J. B. Sutherland preached in the Second Presbyterian Church last night, on "What one may see through the eye of faith." His text was from St. John, i., 50, "Greater things than these shall thou see." The words were spoken by Jesus to Natha nael, who, on a very slight ground for faith, had pronounced the Nazarene the Son of God. Dr. Sutherland said: "It is often said that seeing is believing. Jesus reversed that order, saying that believing was seeing. Nathanael's faith, on a slight basis, was rewarded by a promise to Bee much greater Urines. Clintrinir to that fniih he lived to see Jesus triumph over the grave and ascend into heaven, and he witnessed the victories of the early church. People to-day are apt to demand more evidence for belief than is necessary at the outset. Faith is the great power in the world. It opens the eye of the soul to dis cover scenes not otherwise seen. Men, like Nathanael, should believe first. They will see afterward. There are to-day greater op portunities to settle the divine claims of Christ than Nathanael had. Back of the Christianity of our time are the triumphs of 18 centuries." 1 HE WAGES OF SIX. A Tolling Discourse nt Smltlifielii SI. E. Church br C. E. I.ockc. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather last night, the Smithfield M. E. Church was filled to hear an address by Kev. C. E. Locke on "Does it Pay to Sin?" The text was "Sin is the transgression of the law." He said it was frequently difficult to define things with which we are familiar, and nothing is more familiar than sin. The derivation of the word is from Sinna, the consort of the Norwegian god Loki, who presided over calamities and distress in the Northern mythology, and sin was to-day the precursor of calamities. His next point was, "Is it profitable to be godly?" in which he alluded to those who cultivate a religious feeling sufficiently elastic to cover a short yardstick and light weights and apparently prosper. He an swered the question by asking another, "Does it pay to sin?" and conclusively proved that it does not. Sin is unnatural and as foreign to the soul as the splinter under the thumbnail is to the finger and fully as uncomlortable as it is abnormal to the soul. v Kev. Mr. Locke went on to quote that whatever man soweth that also shall he reap, and illustrated it by an incident which oc curred some years asroin Tuscarawas county, O. A post boy was murdered and robbed, and while rifling the mail pouches the robber was accosted by a traveler to whom he said that he had found the messenger in that condition and begged the traveler to remain with the sufferer while he went for a physician. Of course the traveler was caught, tried and sentenced, but persisted in his innocence, saying he could identify the real robber by a scar on his wrist, nnd the Judge ordered a review of the people of the county, among whom the traveler identified the criminal, and his arm being stripped revealed the tell-tale scar. The preacher concluded impressively with a dissertation on "The Wages of Sin is Death." THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN. Iu Advnnlnces and Disadvantages Pointed Ontby Rev. J. II. Bnrnrtt. Kev. J. H. Barnett, pastor of the Second Congregational Church, Allegheny,preached last night on the "The Advantages and Dis advantages of Being a Christian." It was the third sermon of a series on tbe subject of The Christian Mr. Barnett is preach ing He selected two texts relating to the subject, one from a worldly and the other from a divine point of view. Mr. Barnett pointed out the disad vantages encountered by one who tried to live a Christian life. A man who wants to become popular in society, rich, rise to the top of the ladder in politics, attain the dis tinction of a boodle alderman and similar achievements, will find it pretty hard to be a Christian. But these are worldly disad vantages, and may be overcome by the true Christian. The advantages of being a Christian are innumerable and inestimable. The worldly disadvantages are made small and of but little movement while the bless ings following a Christian lite are eternal. Air. Barnctt's congregation will hold a special meeting this evening for the pur pose of arranging for a lecture for the bene fit of the church. MANIFESTATION OF GKACB. Rev. IllcCIcllnnd's Discourse nt tho Fourth U. 1'. Church, Allegheny. Kev. James B. McClelland, of Grove City, occupied Dr. Fulton's pulpit in the Fourth XT. P. Church, Allegheny, yester day. His subject in ,thc evening was "Manifestation ot the Grace of God." The reverend gentleman argued that the grace of God was manifested by salvation. The chief character of salvation was grace, which was best illustrated by Paul's con version. Grace was also manifested in God's teachings, also in his rewards. A SUNDAY BIiAZG. Fire nt Iowa City Burns Oat a Dry Goods Iloase. Iowa City, Ia., February 3. Fire in Denecke & Gelter's large dry goods house destroyed the entire stock of goods. The loss is about 530,000; insurance ?15.000. Lcc, Welsh & Co., book and stationery deal ers, suffered considerably from smoke and water. Bloom & Mayer, clothiers, also were sufferers, but the losses of both firms are covered by insurance. The loss on the buildings occupied by Denecke & Gelter, and Lee, Welsh & Co. is total, tbe policies having expired a month ago. Bloom & Mayer's building was insured for about $9,000, which covers loss. .Dr. Shrady Says: "The after effects of the epidemic (la grippe) will he marked by feelings of prostration and a lowering of the health tone," to recover from which "will require tonics for variable periods."
