CHURCH Tionosta's New and Itenulifiil Edifice Consecrated to the Service of Hod With Impressive Ceremonies. No event in the history of Tionesta has vbecu looked forward to with more pleas urable anticipation by her citizens and those of Forest county in general, than that which reached its culmination on Easter Sunday morning, April litis, when the beautiful new Methodist Episcopal church, the gift of three of Forest county's repre sentative and philanthropic citizens, Tru man D. Collins, of Nebraska, uuorge r. Watson, of Tionesta, and Hon. Frank X. Kreitler. of Nebraska, wa formally and ollieiully dedieuted to the worship of Al mighty God, by Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of Buffalo, N. Y Services preliminary to the formal dedi cation were held In the new chureli on Thursday evening, when a very able ser mon was delivered by Rev. W. P. Murray, district superintendent of the Erie district, ami a former pastor, who took for bis text St. John 17:11 and 18: "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world;" "As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent tlieni into the world." This was followed on Friday evening by an excellent sermon by Rev. J H. Rankin, district superintendent of the Jamestown district, and also a former pas- tor, whose text was selected from 2 Kings 2:15: "The snirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha." Both of these sermons were lis tened to with appreciation by large au- diences of former members and friends. On Saturday evening, Rev. Charles N. Bos- well, D. D., of Philadelphia, l'a., corrc sponding secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, and known nationally as the "Cyclone of Methodism," delivered a characteristic sermon, which was enthusiastically received by a lariju congregation. His text was chosen from Ezra 3:7: "They gave nionoy ulso unto tho masons, and to the carpenters. ' Sunday dawned bright and clear and It was an Easter of the ideal sort, reawak ing in the minds and hearts of all persons thoughts of the new risen Lord, to whose glory and service the beautiful new temple was about to be dedicated. The services of the day were begun with the administra tion of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at 7:00 o'clock a. 111. , Rev D. A. l'latt, dis trict superintendent, having tho meeting in charge and being assisted by Revs. W. O. Calhoun, F. M. Small, A. O. Stone, M. B. Kiley and R. A. Huzza. The dedicatory services proper were held at 10:30 a. in., and were interesting, ed ifying and unusually Impressive. Long before the hour set a large audience made up of all denominations of tho town and coming from many surrounding towns had gathered at the church. The services were opened by the rendering of a line anthem, "The King of Glory," by tho choir, hymn No. 1 by the congregation, followed by prayer by Rev. R. A. Huzza, a former pas ... n: 1.-::.. r..Lr. i n;i r;... I then sang a beautiful solo, "Open the dates of the Temple," wliloli was followed ly t lie reading of tlie 81th Psalm by Rev. II. A. Hailoy, and tho singing of hymn No.lKlOby tho congregation. Bishop Berry then de livered the sermon of tho day, which was an able effort and ail intellectual treat. For an hour he held the vast audience spell bound by his eloquence, basing his re marks on the text as found iu Job 23:3 "Oh that I knew where I might find him!" Rev. W. O. Calhoun, tlie pastor, gave a statement of the finances, showing that the sum of $1,5U0.00 was needed to pay for the furnishings of the church, and under the inspiring leadership of Dr. lloswell this amount was raised in a short time by vol untary subscriptions. The trustees were then called to the altar rail mid tho build ing was formally dedicated by Bishop Ber ry, according to the ritual of the church, tlie building being presented for dedication by Hon. F. X. Kreitler, on behalf of the donors and trustees. Tlie benediction by Rev. I). A. Plait closed the exercises. A platform meeting was held at 3:30 p. 111., at which short addresses were mado by Revs. W. O. Calhoun, II. A. Bniicy, P. A. l'latt, A. O. Stone, R. A. Huzza, F. M. Small, L. II. Sliimlledeckcr and Charles N. Boswell. The Sunday evening service was the be ginning of the revival meetings which are being continued throughout this week. Two anthems by tbo choir, "Seals are Shattered," and "Praise tho Lord," and a solo, "Face to Face," by Miss McKnigbt, introduced tl0 service. A powerful and touching sermon was delivered by ltev. Dr. lloswell from the text as found in 2 Kings 7:11: "If we lurry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us." A number came to the altar. Rev. Mr. Stone occupied the pulpit on Monday evening and Rev. Mr. Small on Tuesday evening. This article would lie incomplete without a full meed of praise being given to the two choirs which furnished such excellent music, and also to those w ho trained them. The ministers present from out of town were: Bishop Joseph F. Berry of IjnUulo, N. Y.; I!ev. C. N. lloswell, of I'hilail'lphia, Pu.; Rev. AV. P. Murray, of Erie, l'a; Rev. J. R. Rankin, of Jamestown, X. Y.; Rev. D. A. l'latt, of Franklin, Pa.; Rev. A. O. Stone, of Harrisburg, Pa.; Bev. R. A. Huz za, of Mcadvillc, Pa.; Kev. F. M. Small, of Ferdinand, Pu.; Kcv. W. E. Davis, of West k A GEORGE F. WATSON. Hickory, Pa.; Rev. M. H. Riley, of Tylers- burg, Pa.; Rev. L. II. Sliimlledeckcr, of Seneca, Pa., and Rev. K. E. Shinclledecker, of Watson Filrm, Pa. - We have on previous occasions published complete descriptions of the church and furnishings, and this week print a good picture of tlie building. Tlie people of all denominations take a very pardonable pride in the magnificent new temple of worship, which will stand for ages as monument to the generosity of our three distinguished citizens. It is a matter of regret that Mr. Collins was ill and not able to attend the services. A SUICIDE AT KELLETfYILLE. Mike Kalafactin Tries to Kill a Young . Lady and Then Kills Himself. On Monday afternoon at about two o'clock, Mike Kalafactiu, a Slav, aged about 19 years and unmarried, committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart, at Kellettville. Tlie unfortunate young man lives with a married sister in one of tbe Elk Tanniog Co.'a bouses and was an Industrious young man in tbe employ of the tannery. As is the custom with about all the foreigners, tbe day following Easter is a day when but very few do any labor and the majority of them celebrate to their heart's content, Monday was no exception to tbe. rule and considerable drinking was indulged in The young man bad been drinking heav ily and it seems he was determined to make a good ob of it, Mike was inlat uated with a young girl from bis native country, Miss Anna Mitchaw, who re Bides with her uncle, Qeorge Mitchaw and is employed in the kindling wood factory, but who did not seem to take kindly to bis advances. Tbis seemed to prey on his mind so heavily he decided to die by bis own band. Sometime after the noon hour the young lady was taking a waia witb two married ladies wben Mike saw them go up the railroad, Ue secured his gun, which is a single barrel shot gun, aud went out back of tbe house and on a line nearly parallel witb tbe railroad tracks. By tbe amount of shells found on the ground where be lay he must bave discharged a full dozen of shots. After firing several shots he espied the ladies coming back aud biding be hind a stump he opened tire on the trio, one shot struck tbe young lady back of the right ear, but did not evon draw blood. A few shots came very elise to all the parties but as the distance was about twetity rods nothing serious happened to the ladies, except they were badly Irigbtened. Wben but one t-hell remained he went about to end bis own life. First he loaded tbe gun and taking his handker chief be tied one end of it firmly to the trigger aud the other end was tied to a stick about feet long. Placing tbe muzzle of the gun firmly against his left side directly over bis heart, be pushed tbe stick and discharged the weapon, lie was attired in bis Sunday raiment and did not wear a coat or vest. Hisclothing was badly powder-burnt and a small bole Into his side told tbe tale. Tbe charge was likely lodged In his thoulder, as there was no evidence of its coining out. Tbe place where the deed was commit ted lies on a little blevation and was visi ble Irom tbe Bcbool house and other places on the opposite side of the creek. Nick Arnold, wbo has a shop directly opposite tbe location and near tbe school building, saw tbe shooting. Mrs. M. F. Catlin, wbo resides a few rods from the Bcbool building, and several of the schol ars also saw the shooting. Those that witnessed the affray were too far distant to realize at tbe time just what was oo curing until too late. Where the shoot ing occurred was only about ton rods from the bouse and in the lot. lie was removed to the bouse in a few minutes after the shooting. It was uot deemed necessary to bold an inquest. The re mains were turned over to undertaker Bobbins. The preparations have not yet been completed for the Mineral, but it is likely the interment will be made lit Tidioute.
