asiEBysa ST ; K- -v THE- PITTSBURG ' DISPATCH; MONDAY, DECEMBER""" Vo, ' 1690.-' 83 DUTY AND DISCIPLINE Discussed by Two Reformed Presby terian Ministers Yesterday. STANDING DP FOR f fcSJJL TENETS. Some Kotes of the Eemarks Taken for future Convenience. OTHEE PDLPIT TOPICS OP THE DAI Ttev. Dr. McAllister, of the Eighth Street Reformed Presbjteriau Church, delivered a sermon, yesterday alternoou, bearing directly upon the laws and discipline under which the five young ministers at the "Wilkinsburg meeting of Presbytery, last week, were sus pended. The attendance was large, and Dr. Mc Allister's words were listened to with close attention by the congregation. Among the persons present was Rev. Mr. McClurkio, pastor oi the Reformed Presbyterian Church at 25 ew Alexandria, Westmoreland county. He is to be tried at a ueeting of Presbytery on January 13, at "Wilkinsburg, on charges similar to those preferred against the young men re.erred to above. He took quite ex tensive notes ou the sermon, no doubt for use at his coming trial. Dr. McAllister began by pointing out the necessity of a penalty as an essential feature oi every law. It was the funda mental principle oi discipline, whether in societies of divine appointment or ot man's creation. It was the basis of the divine societies, the family, the State, the church, at well as the societies outside of these bounds, such as the social clubs of great cities. The latter made Jaws and demanded discipline in the adherence to them, even to the point of suspension or expulsion. He dwelt at great length upon the grounds of discipline as part of the very being ol all law, uhetLer human or,divine. THE ENDS OF DISCIPLINE. Tbe ends of discipline were to maintain the purity and integrity ot tbe church; to turn, ii possible, vitiations o'tlie same into tbe proper course again, and to deter others from following the same or a similar coarse. Whether baptism was by Immersion or some other form seemed to many a trifling point of disagreement, et the Baptist Church bad in terpreted the Scrioture- to mean that haptism should he by immersion, and the cbuich woald surrender its integrity and lose Us denomination by surrendering this princi ple. The Reformed Fresbytenan Church was equaliv posiiivo on questions of political descent, and if she gave up to them her esn tial existence would le lost. The law f Gi'd ruled the lleformed Presbyterian Church, and "remember tue Sabbath day to keep It holy" was part of that law. The great de&'-craror of the iay was the United Stated Government. God's people were prohibited from entering into compacts for evil in auy form. T'armr.s to the case ot the five voung men. Dr. McAllister said that while he had always held thein in the highest esteem, he still mut say thatiuhis opinion they had been guilty of a great wrong. He then referred to other Prtshytcnes; where similar offenses had been overlooked, hut added that when tbe Synod met here next sDring it would see to it that all Presbyteries performed their duties in this particular. GREAT GOOD ACCOMPLISHED. The speaker closed br saying that hundreds and thousands of men were turning to a knowl edge of God's truth as one of the good results of these enforcements f di-clpline. Tbe truth now reached millions, where in other days it only readied hundred, and in consequence great good aaslieing accomplished. After the beruinn Key. Mr. MiClnrkin was a-ked if he would make any reply to it from his own pulpit. He said that "probably he would not. Did you consider Dr. McAllister's effort as contincms?"' was asked. "No. sir: I did l.ot. Ho merely touched aroaml the cdes of the great question." came the auswei. "I shall make my reply at Wilkins burg oil thslStn of next January," lie added, with a plea -ant smile, which indicated pi imcr than woid that be would reserve his arguments lor that particular occasion. ANOTlIElt CLEUGYMAN'S VIEWS. Rev. J. W. Sproull, of the Central R. P. Church, Allegheny, preached jesterday after noon on tbe subject of "The last meeting of the Pittsburg It. P. Presbytery a plain state ment." The fifteenth chapter of Acts was taken for the Sunday's lesson. Iu the course f bis address Mr. Sproull said: "I make no apology forpicsenting to you an account of the proceedings at llkinshurg. In the das ot the Apostles the church wasalways anxious to know ot the doings of its ministers. It would be remarkable If live ministers could tie suspended and two others cited for trial, and the members ot the church were not anxious to learn all about the proceed ing It has been alleged that they were tried for being American citizens; that the right of tree speech and the holding of opinions was tboquestion: and many other reasons were aliegeu by those opposed to tbe church. They were tried and found guilty of maintaining views opposite to the church, and pursuing a course that was spreading dissen sions in their congregations and in the entire church, lor 57 years this has been tne law of the church. There has been notning different or new- regarding this subject. It is the only distinctive law ot our cbuicb, and if this is not to be tbe principle we ought to disband and unite with some other Presbyterian church. DISCUSSION BY THE SYNOD. "According to our church laws we are re. quired to standaloof from any government that does not recognize Jesus Christ as King. To give this up would be for the church to take away all gro-indsforan organization. At the last synod this question was discussed, and a committee was appointed to provide lor a funber discussion at the next synod. Then those who are aggrieved can have a chance to show why this fundamental law should be changed. I have my own opinions, regarding some things, but 1 6hall await tbe proper oppor tunity to bring them out. , These men were not charged with the viola tion ol the law forbidding suffrage, or it mignt have easily been settled. They did not disobey that law, but said they did uot believe there ever was such a law, and this is where the dam age is done, as they cause others to violate the law." HE STEUCX STRAIGHT OUT. An Allegheny Minister Draws His Coat and Speaks riainly. The second of a scries of sermons on ropular sins was given last night by Rev. W. F. Rich ardson. of the First Christian Church, Allegheny. His subject was Impurity."' and he dealt witb it in a fear less manner. His sermon was radical and full of many truths even though thev were plainly spoken. He made a bitter attack on Parncll, and concerning him. said: "The Irish people will, let us hope, follow tbe example of a majority of their leaders, and remand Par nell to the obscurity from which his present exhibition ot moral turpitude shows he ought never to have been lifted." He denounced the idea of divorce. The pub lic dance halls he called a net for innocent girls. He blamed theaters for immoral exhibi tions; he called the ballet vulgar. Light liter ature and the so-cil'el realistic writings came in for a share I condemnation. He sntko of art trending the cj e of morality with unseemly exhibitions of immodesty. Fashionable society he blamed with having Indecent modes of dress, and with tolerating in men w hat they would Ecorn in women. EE DISCUSSED SLN. Rev. B. K. Woodburn Preaches on This f-unject at the Sandusky Street Church. Sin" was the subject of last night's discourse by tbe Rev. H. F. Woodburn in the Sandusky Street Baptist Church. Ho said some people thouchtsiu was a kind of a chemical that raised havoc with the soul. He declared it was not but only a wrong action of the soul which made It lose its purpose and miss the mark in life. He described sin as one of the old-timo muskets, which, when you fired it, the person Holding the gun was as much injured as the one at whom the shot was tired. He described a sinful person as one who ws like a bad engine tnat would not go. The minister closed by calling on his congre gation to give up sin and live the grand and glorious lives for which their Maker had in tended tbem. Three Hundred Children Confirmed. Yesterday was an Important day among the Catholics ot the West End. Bishop Pbelan, assisted by Father Cosgrave, confirmed about 300 children at the fat. James Church, on Mam street, Thirtv-sixth ward. Tbe ceremonies were well attended. A HEW LINE OF DISCOURSE Adopted by Kev. W. S. Williams, or Christ Unlvcrsallst.Chnrch. Rev. Mr. Williams, ef Christ Church (Unlver salist) Curry University" building, inaugurated a new line of preliminary discourse last evening, which wi.l be continued for some time' to come. His intention is to take up the great thoughts of the day, from week to week, and treat of them from tbe highest standpoint and intelligence at Mils command. His first thought last evening was that what ever militated against the highest form of society and government, either morally or otherwise, was not fit to lie considered in the process of formulating government. Housed as an illustration the recent Pamell fiasco. From this he turned to the present financial condition of the country, and said that any troubles that might exist in sections were due chiefly to speculation, the underlying causo ot which was generally peculation. Advanc ing to tho larger "thought of civil rela tions, the speaker said it "was strange that Congress could not devote more time to enactmglaus for the peonle. instead of striving for party ends. Neither party was exempt from this evil. During Ills remarks he referred to the collapse ot a defeated candi date, and said the cause of this collapse should bo more noticeable and forcible to all. When candidates spent more moneyin a campaign than they could possibly procure Irom the salary of their office, there must bo something wrong behind the whole proceeding. Tbe regular text of the evening was: "Re pent Ke. for tho Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand." Universalists, tbe speaker said, had been accused of not following he lead of Christ. Whatever belief men have, all follow some definite idea. Every public man who does something new In the world has a scheme of philosophy as an underlying principle. That of Universalists was the attractive power of love to reach all mankind. The teaching, "Re pent vc, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," was the Inspiring impulse ot Christ's teaching. The common Christian in spiration is: "Repent ve, as hell is at hand." Tho Umversaltjts believed that heaven was ever present, and Christ taught: "Giro Me thy heart to-day." Their belief was hat love was rewarded by love and salvation was not some thing connected with the future, but was over present. MIXED MAEEIAOES CONDEMNED. Sermon of Bev. E. It. Donehoo on a Delicate Subject. Rev. 12. R. Donehoo took for his toxtyester dav. "Be Not Unequally Yoked Together With Unbelievers." IL Cor. vili He said: "The text is commonly understood to be the spiritual application ot a precept in the Mosaic taw, which says: 'Thou snalt not plow with an ux and an ass together.' The lesson most commonly drawn from these words of Paul is in condemnation of mixed marriages. Tbe Catholic clergy very frequently speak out about the evils which arise Irom uch marriages, while our ministers are very slow about ever touching upon this delicate subject. Chris tian ministers in all large communities are frequently called to observe the deplorable results of Ill-assorted alliances. Manv marriages are contracted when the parties are oung and sill. Under such an iu Cueuce they heedlessly ignore or foolishly dis count difference's in education, in manner of life, in moral and religious convictions, which will be almost sure to assert themselves when passion has cooled Jow n and reasou once more assumes sway. "The outcome of these mixed marriages may be anticipated with considerable confidence; one ot two results will follow, either destruc tion of mutual love and confidence whereby home is sanctified, or rlsu a cowardly abandon ment of principles and hopeless stolidity to ward evils which were once studiously shunned." THEY PRESSED THE BUTTON And Got a Very ExhllaratincTRlde to the Central Station. John Young and Murray Harrington were breaking the monotony of the Sabbath after noon by firing their revolvers at the electric doorbell button at No. 201 Second avenue. They hit the button a number of times, until finally rn-e bullet hi: the button square on tbe head and drove it iu so far that it had to be pried out. Offlcer Devlin happened along just then and pushed the button for the patrol wagon, which took the gay sharp-shooters to the Central station. HE DOESK'T KNOW. W. F. HarrSty's Business Associate Says Ho Is Not Posted. Joseph Hahn, Secretary of tho Equitable Trust, in which V. F. Harrity is interested, has been in Pittsburg for several days visiting local Democratic friends. He is a prominent Quaker uity Democrat, and put in some good licks for Pattisou during.tha last campaign. Though a business associate of Mr. Harrity. lie said he didn't know whether tbe 'cx-post-master would be a member of the next btate Cabinet or not. AUCTION.

HOW THE FREEZER DOES ITS WORK. . A Brown Brine That Turns Water Into Solid Ice in a Few Seconds. BOLD DEFIANCE BID TO OPEN WINTERS A card on the door of one of the rooms on the ground floor of the Mooongahela House yesterday announced that within was the exhibit of the.Universal Refrigerating Com pany. The wonders revealed there effectually solve tbe great ice problem, but they also mean crepe on the doors of the ice com panies. But canals had to give way to rail ways, and now even nature's method of storing cold has to fall before man's in genuity. Interesting as were the tests given yester day, there was also an additional interest thrown around by the fact that this was the company of which the Hon. Green B. Kaum is president, and on account of -which even now a Congressional investigation is being made into his methods of conducting the Pension Bureau. In the room was an ordinary refrigerator, about ten feet high and six feet wide such a refrigerator as is used in restaurants or by butchers. Inside were stored calves' beads, sweetbreads and ofh?r kinds of per ishable meats. There were probably a hun dred sweetbreads piled on a big plate in such a style that any person would suppose they would spoil inside of ,ten hours. Yet all these articles had been there since 4 o'clock Saturday, and were in a perfect state of preservation, and the gentlemen in charge say they will keep them in that state indefinitely. THE SECEET IN A SALT. The whole secret lies in "refrigerine salt," which is composed of certain mineral salts. When mixed with water It forms a brine that instantly falls below tbe freezing point This agent or system was invented by Frank A. Smith, who Is a practical ice manufacturer by the ammonia process, and while handling the ponderous machinery necessary in tnat method of manufacture, be discovered this simple pro cess of producing intense cold. It has since been Improved by Mr. Smith and James C. Rossi. The last patents were secured a little over a year ago. and now the system is being introduced. The motbod used, as shown yesterday, is to utilize the cold brine in an iron tank, and by gravity conduct it into a snitable coil of iron pipes set up in the space to be refrigerated, or where ice is to be made. The brine is made of 35 per cent of the salt and 63 per cent ..water. Each lineal foot of two-inru pipe will reduce three cubic feet of space to tho freezing point, and keep it at that temperature fur 24 hours. When a vary low temperature is desired the system includes a plan fur initial cooling of the water to bring it to 50 br passing the water through a worm which is submerged in the cold brine. Then when tbe water at this temperature Is mixed with the salt, the tem perature is reduced to zero in 3Q seconds. A practical demonstration was given of this yester day, by placing some of the salt inatin can and pouring In water. The thermometer registered 62, and in exactly 20 seconds the mercury was only 2 above zero. A small bottle of water was then dropped into tbe can, and in less than a minute the water in the bottle was frozen solid. In tbe refrigerator solid cakes of Ice were frozen bv simolv exDOsmg open nans of water near the Iron tank. Forty pounds of ice could be frozen in 3U minutes. Another pretty illustration was that of placing big cut-glass water bottles iu tbe re frigerator, and in short order tbe water inside was frozen to ice, so that cooling drinks could be procured from the top of the solid cake in side. MOISTUEE EEMOVED FEOM AIR. The great secret of the wonderful preserving powers iS in tbe scientific principle that intense heat and intense cold are, in effect, identical; that is, all the moisture Is removed from the air. In this system there is ho dripping water, and all the moisture in tbe air is taken up on tbe pipes in tbe sbape of frost. The presence of moisture has always been an objectionable feature m refrigerators, but with this system the air can be made as free from water as that of the western countries, where meats can be cured by simply exposing them to the outside air. For this icason there wasnopercentible odor thrown off by any of the materia! stowedinthe refrigerator. Butter which had rested beside tbe rankest kind of an ooion was just as pure and sweet-tasted as- when it lett tne creamery. Tbe salt itself is harmless, and emits no gas, and the cost of it Is barely worth considering. The salt can be recovered by evaporation, and can bo used any number of times without los ing any of its powers. The tanks and pipes used occupy ooly one-fifth the space that would lie required by ice. While it requires 24 hours with the ue of ice to cool a refriger ating chamber, by this process it can be cooled in one-fourth the tune, and the brine needs to bo renewed only every 21 hours to keep a con stant temperature of 32. A higher tempera ture can be maintained by using less of tbe salt In tbe brine. Iu the use of it for either refrigerator or manufacturing ice, no engines, stills or pnmps are needed. There is no pres sure used, and hence no danger of pipes bursting. Tho uses of tbe system are apparently nnllm-' ited. Uy It, cooling rooms in hot mines can be kept at any temperature. It compares witb all the cold storage systems now used as the elec tric cars to tho old horse cars. Ono of its great benefits will bo to hospitals, where, during the hot months, a lower temperature is desired. AH that is necessary is to force the brine through the steam radiators now used to pro duce heat and by this means the temperature can be kept at any degree that will be desired. PLACING A PLANT IN P1TTSBUEG. The object of yesterday's exhibit is to form a stock company in Pittsburg, 'with a capitaliza tion of 1330.000: 5100,000 ot this to be given to the parent company. The intention is to rent the use of the system on the same plan as that by which the Bell telephones are rented. The ex hibit in Pittsburg is in charge of James W. Miller & Co., of Pittsburg, tbe senior member of that firm having before been connected with the members of tbe refrigerating company in several railroad enterprises. The exhibit will remain in Pittsburg for several weeks, and the managers are so confident of the success of their process that tbej have invited a commit tee of tbe leading men who useicc In Pittsburg, sneb as brewers, butchers and hotel men, to gether with representatives of tbe various newspapers, to take charge of one of tho re frigerators and make a thorough test. The piocess, it is claimed, can be applied to any or dinary refrigerator or ice box. "The company intends to remodel refrigerators and ice boxes, and part of tho duties of the Pittsburg company will be to keep tbem in perfect order and supply fresh brine each day. The cost ot snppllng the ordinary re frigerator used in a lauiily will bu about 12 cents a day. The intention is to supply refrigerators at at least 23 per ceut below what Ice now costs. The systtm is now in nse iu the United States Senate restaurant, in Washington. Mr. Page, the proprietor, had it pat in there during tbe ice famine last summer, and it has proved a iierfect success. It is alsi utd in the Glen 2cui cafe, at Glen Echo Heights, near Wash ington, and the proprietors are in lorn with it. Tho method is also being introduced in Wheeling and Cincinnati, and last of all it is now used in the Monon gahela House, iu this city. Mr. Arnold is one of tho most enthusiastic of its admirers. The wine and beer vault iu that house bave been fitted with this apparatus, and yesterday the managers complained that tho temperature ot the vault, which had been reduced to 4U, was too low. and asked that It be increased to 45, tbe lowest point they had ever been able to reach by the use of ice. One of the greatest tests that has yet beeu made was that ol shipping beer to Cuba from Philadelphia. It was returnod, and it was found as good as when it left. It was then re shipped to Honduras, and on its return the quality had been actually improved by the gentle shaking which bad been given it by tbe movement of the shin.

Wilklnsborg's New Building to bo as Neat and Sal'Stantlal as the Court House Its Accommodations the Best An In door Playground for Pupils. The new public school building at Wil kinshurg will soon be completed. It is just about a year since the old one went up in flame and smoke, from some mysterious cause that was never discovered. There was not a brick or stoue" that could be used again, so thoroughly had the ,fire done its work of destruction. Last spring the school board commenced work in earnest. It had the large piece 6f ground upon which the old schoolhouse had stood, situated in tbe most desirable part of Wilklnsbury, being high and central. It fronts on Wallace atrect. Upon this It determined to erect one of the Handsomest and most conven ient public school buildings in tbe State, and the general opinion is that it has succeeded. Tho building is of brick with stone trim mings, resting, of fdurse, upon a solid stone foundation. It is of a composite order of archi tecture, leaning toward IbeTonic. In a general way It strnnjtly resembles the Allegheny Court House. Thre is a bell tower, not so large as that of the Court House, but it is of about the same shape Tho main entrance of tbe build ing is a wide-arched doorway, low-browed and massive, like that on Grant street, and the building generally has that solid appearance that is so marked a characteristic of the Court House. a vestibule brings the visitor into a' spacious rotunda. U.on all sides of which are tbe doors of classrooms and tbe principal's private room. A wide staircase facing the entrance brioches nH on either side, so as to give two distinct etairwavs to the upper floor, where a gallery running around the walls leaves a wld3 space in the center, and permits tbe skylight in the roof to light the whole building during the day. At night a cluster of elgbt electric lights in tbe dome performs the same duty. From this gallery doors lead Into the other class rooms, the two floors being ex actly alike in arrangement. The stairs are so wide and easy that there will be no danger to the children in case nt fire. The staircase itself is a fire-escape. The bannister and tbe railing around tbe upper gallery will be in cherry finish, with a handsome brass railing along the top. The interior of the roof, which is dome shaped and glass at the apex, is cherry, finished off with a handsome freeze, giving an artistic effect, sueh as cannot be. found in anv other school building in the State. There Is.nothing stiff or angular about tbe whole interior, tbe school board paying particular attention to tbe lines of beauty. The comfort of teachers as well as pupils has been studied in the construction of this build ing. Attached to each class room is a cloak room, with a window rather an unusual con venience in a school cloak room. Moreover, ever one contains a wasbstana and toilet re quisites. Bcuide these, there are separate re tiring rooms for the teachers, also with lava tories. ' There are 13, rooms in the building, ex clusive of the cloak rooms. In tbe basementwill be an indoor playground. It will cover the whole space under tbe build ing, and with its hard cement floor and stone walls, will be a splendid plaro for the boj s and girls to enjoy youthful sports in rainy weather. The ventilating and beating system is very complete. Tbe sanitary arrangements have been made very carefully, dry. odorless closets being used. The principal's office, on tbe ground floor, near tbe main entrance, will bo furnished with 13 Speaking tubes, so that be can communicate with teachers in any part of tho houe at once without leaving his room. The building will 'Easily accommodate the 800 pupils that are now enrolled, together with the 15 teachers. It is expected tbat the new schoolhouse will be ready by tbe 15th of January.
