to surpass all previous efforts In the
history of the Washburn street Pres
byterian church. The choruses reflect
great credit both upon choir and direc
tor. The orchestra of fourteen pieces
under the leadership of Mr. George
Waters, Jr., which will assist at the
evening service adds greatly to the de
lightfuly arranged programme. The
numbers by the choir with orchestra
accompaniment are most inspiring.
Solos will be rendered morning and
evening by Mrs. Edith Heckel and
Mr. Glppel.
George D. Martin, of Academy street,
a fireman on the Lackawanna railroad
fell from an engine yesterday and sus
tained severe internal injuries and
