and were very impressive throughout.
Tho weather was all that could bo de
sired for nn open air .ervU" and tho
programme was carried out with ono
exception.
St. Mark's church was established
In 1891. The Initiatory steps wero tak
en by Rev. E. L. Miller, who was then
pastor of Holy Trinity Luthern church.
The congregation was organized on

Fourteenth street wns laid on Novem
ber 13. IS'J.1. This building has been
In service continuously over since, lint
owing to the Incieae In membership
and Inadequate facilities, the congre
gation took stops to erect a new edifice.
In tho summer of 1S!)S It was decided
to commence tho woik, but owing to
adverse circumstances tho plans wore
postponed until this year. The work of
securing conlracls nnd mnterlal for
the building was nlso hampered on ac
count of tho labor dilllcultles, but when
the contrnct for the masonry work was
let, the work wjm pushed rapidly, nnd
everything is now In readiness for llm
superstructure.
LAYING THE STONE.
When tho hour for beginning tho ex
ercises hnd urtived, the clergymen and
members formed a semi-circle In front
of tho corner stone, where a platform
had been erected for tho speakrs. This
ceremony was opened with the singing
of a hymn by the assemblage, followed
by tho leading of the following psalm
by Itev. Lauer:
Our help is in tha name of the Lord;
Who mndo heaven nnd earth.
How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord
of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even falntcth
For tho courts of the Lord.
Ills foundation Is in the holy mountain.
The Lord lovcth the gates of Zion
More than all tho dwellings of Jacob.
I was glad when they said unto me
Let us go Into tho house or tho Lord.
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O
Jerusalem.
Except the Lord build the bouse.
They labor In vain that build It.
Except tho Lord keep tho cltv.
The watchman wnkcth but in vain.
After the singing of "Gloria Patri."
Rev. Sploker read Scripture selections,
followed with prayer by Rev. Ramc.
Rev. "William Ashmead Schaeffer, of
Philadelphia, superintendent of mis
sions, who was to have dellvere 1 tho
principal address, was unable to be

which was read by Rev. Ramer. The

rather suddenly of heart disease In tho
parochial residence yesterday morning
at 11. IS o'clock.
Father Loughran had been gradually
falling In health for the past two years,
but It was not preemptible to the or
dinary observer until about two months
ago, since when he appeared to grow
weaker day by day.
He was feeling us welt ns usual on
Saturday and was around tho houso
nnd grounds. In the evening he wont

Lavelle, .
About 11 o'clock, however, lie com
plained of feeling 111 and Dr. Ilouscr,
Ids attending physician, was sum

he passed a fairly comfortable night.
Eatly yesterday morning several of
theparishonorscalledupon him and ex
pressed the hope that he would soon ho

His condition suddenly grew alarm
ing about 10 o'clock and Rev. E. J.
Mcltcy, of South Scianton, one of his
oldest and most intimate friends, was
summoned to administer the last rlte3

Rev. Walter (ionium, was celebratlnrr

members of the congregation present '
urn uoi Know mat ne was tven

SKETCH OF HI!? LIFE.
Father Loughran was born In Dor
soy, county Armagh, Ireland, Feb. 18,
1SS1. He attended the national schools'
and afterwards graduated trim St.
Patrick's college In the city of Ar
magh. Soon afterwards he caino to
this country and entered St. Charles
seminary, corner of Eighteenth and
Race streets, Philadelphia, from where
he was ordained a priest on July 3,
IS.", by Bishop Newman.
He was first put In charge of the
missions at Beaver Falls. Hazleton
nnd Audbnreld and remained In charge
nine months. Ho was then "given the
pastorate of the church nt Friends
vllle, Susquehanna county, where he
remained for four years; also conduct
ing services In Mlddletown, Warren
and Auburn. His labors In thesfi
first years of his ministry wero pecu
liarly arduous.
In 18(14 he was appointed to a pas
torate In Archbald, where he remained
for eleven years. Ills labors while
in this field were crowned with suc
cess and the handsome church of Si.
Thomas in that village stands at thi
present time a mute tribute to his
great executive and economical ability.
The church cost $45,000 and every cen;
of this was paid before Father Lough
ran wns called to another field.
In 1875 ho wns assigned to MInooka
and took charge of St. Joseph's parlsn
there, a post which ho filled to the
time of his dead. Before leaving Arch
bald ho presented tho parochial resi
dence and lot which he had purchased
with his own funds to St. Thomas' con
gregation. H4.D A LARGE FIELD.
Since he took charge of St. Joseph's
parish it has had a wonderful growth,
there already having been two new
parishes created from It, the one at
Taylor In charge of Itev. J. A. Moffatt,
and the other at Rendham, In charge
of Rev. Father Jordan. Ho performed
nil the work of this Immense parish
all alone until a few years ago, when
an assistant was appointed.
Father John was remarkably popu
lar among the members, not only of his
own church, hut of other denomina
tions. He was of a simple, kindly
nature and retiring In his disposition.
He contracted many friendships In his
early days with both clergymen and
laymen nnd there are many today who
are mourning him almost ns a brother.
He took an active Interest In the
young men's societies connected with
tho church and was always ready with
a word of counsel and advice to the
members.
His nearest living relatives are his
nephew, Rev. John Loughran, of the
Cathedral, and two first cousins, the
Rev. Peter Loughran, of Detroit, and
Patrick Loughran, of this city.

SUICIDE'S PLAN FAILED.
He Intended That His Identity
Should Be Discovered Forthwith.
The Identity of the man who com
mitted suicide In McKecver's Held,
West Scranton, n year ago last April
has at last been revealed and the
careful plans made by tho unfortunate
man to have his name become known
are brought to light.
While the employes of Lohmann's
restaurant, on Lackawanna avenue,
were cleaning out a few days ago they
came across u bundle. Its nppear
ance seemed familiar to Mr. I.ohmann
nnd ho opened It. He found It to con
tain clothing, a number of letters and
the following statement:
"My name Is Dennis Phillips, Little
ton, New Hampshire. Wish to be bur
led there. I havea brother, F. H.
Phillips, of 'Littleton, New Hampshire.
I have a sister, Martha B. Jessem.an,
Bethlehem, N. II. Have a brother,
Willis B. Phillips, Frnnconla, N. II.
Have a sister. Mrs. O. S.' Taylor, Hav
erhill, New Hampshire Please notify
all of them by telegram at once. Will
pay all bills. I am tired of life. My
trunk Is at Madison House, city."
Mr. Lobtnan then remembered that
a large mnn had called nt the hotel
over a year ngo nnd left tho bundle
with the request that It be kept there
for n few days. Mr. Lohman Imme
diately telegraphed to F. B. Phillips
asking for Information regarding his
brother nnd received a reply that ho
had not been heard of for over a year.
Mr. Lohmann then remembered the
suicide nnd notified the police. Tho
latter are positive that the mystery
of the suicide has now been cleared up
and that Dennis Phillips Is tho name
of the suicide.
The remnlns arc at present interred
In the Washburn street cemetery,
where they were placed after oiery ef
fort had been made to discover their
identity.

After the questions were put and
answers given, according to tho for
mulas of the church, both on the part
of pastor and people, the Rev. Mr.
Waring was pronounced and declared
duly constituted and Installed as pas
tor or urace Lutheran church.
Rev. A. Stewart Hnrtman, D. D., of
Baltimore, Md then delivered tho
charge to the pastor. He spoke of tho
exalted character and dignity of the
ministerial ofllce, and Illustrated this
point by the four Ideas that tho pastor
Is the minister of Jesus Christ, tho
ambassador of the king of kings and
Lord of Lords, a shepherd, and a
preacher of the word of God.
In order to accomplish tho work of
the ministerial office successfully, ho
said. It Is necessary to give attention
to two things: Take heed to thyself,
and take heed to thy doctrine or teach
ing. Personal character Is the first re
quisite to a successful ministry. Five
things are involved in this personal
character. A man must realize that he
Is pardoned, and he must bo a man of
piety, prayer, spiritual power nnd holi
ness. Paul desired two things espe
cially in order to effectiveness In the
ministerial office utterance and bold
ness; nower of utterance nnd splrlttnl
courage, courage In the presentation of
tho truth.
Then, tho minister's theme must be
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Preach the
Word. Preach the whole truth. Preach
It fearlessly.
Take heed to thyself. Take heed to
thy doctrine. Take heed to thy work.
The requirement of this day Is faithful
pastoral work. A house-going pastor
makes a church-going people.
At the evening servlco Rev. Dr. Hart
mnn, who Is secretary of the board of
home missions, spoke on that great
work of the church.
The music at yesterday's services
was elaborate and well rendered under
the efficient leadership of the organist.
Miss Rosencrnns. Grace Lutheran has
entered upon another chapter In her
history under favorable auspices. Rev
Mr. Hess Is nn energetic young clergy
man, of pleasant address and scholarly
attainments, nnd can be safely looked
to by tho local religious world to build
up a strong bulwark of Christianity In
his new field.
