After the march ing church members are all accommo dated. if there are any seats left, the general public will be admitted by the ushers. Dr. Stough announced last night that he will give an opportunity to any In the audience who may desire to re consecrate their lives to the cause of Christ. As the evangelist's thunders have been directed mostly against the laxity of church members during his preliminary sermons, and he has re peatedly declared that many so-called Christians must be converted, it may be expected that the service to-night will be attended with some remarkable scenes. It is not likely that the audi ence will be composed of many others than professed Christians. Dr. Stough will preach on "The Lost Christ." Where the Denominations Meet Presbyterians from all churches will congregate at the Pine Street Presbv-1 terlan Church and at 7 o'clock, head- . ed by the Rev.

The men were encased in robbing mine pillars when the accident oc curred. They were tearing down the inner pillar of a breast when the whole structure collapsed, placing be tween them and daylight a vast wall of coal, rock and debris. Rescuers felt sure the men could get enough air to keep them alive for days and. working in a limited space, forces of miners dug desperately in the effort to reach their imprisoned comrades, the work never halting for a minute. While the rescuers worked thfc greatest excitement prevailed at the mine opening. Hundreds of people, including the despairing families of the two men, stood around In suspense hoping against hope and there was little sleep in the two mining villages in which they lived while the fate of the miners hung In the balance. Men Huddled Together The men were found huddled to gether in a blind heading when the rescuers broke through the mass of coal and debris and then a great cheer resounded through the workings. They were without food and water for three days, but were in good condition and able to walk. They were forced into the ambu lance against their wishes and taken home, but walked into the house. Nourishment was provided and they soon fell into a sound sleep. They said they chewed their boots and flan nel shirts to stave off the pangs of hunger and thirst and were able to keep track of the time by removing the crystals from their watches. They rapped continually, but no sound was heard by the rescuers. Schrelner's wife was at the mine and spurred the rescuers on with her firm belief that her husband would be able to find a place of safety and would be found alive. Both are married and have two children.

The entire company of players, some of them in costume, turned out with a big wagon on which was mounted a piano, pre sided over by Mr. Conlin in a manner which caused the crowd that congre gated about to frequently break forth in applause. Some of the actors did a few of their "stunts" as an added attraction and the Australian tumbl ers built pyramids and delighted Mar ket street pedestrians with numerous other feats seldom seen outside of a first class vaudeville house. It was some show and after all the pennies, the nickels and the dollars had beep counted, it was found that the company had earned the tidy sum of $46.72 from the sale of Telegraphs, which will pay the board bill for sev eral months of some hungry soul in far-off Belgium. All of those who took part did w'eil, but the laurels went to Miss HwjiiHon, who turned in more than $6 as'her snafce.

On the Servian border sharp fighting is in progress and the Turks are in action against the Russians, but on the main positions through France, along the East Prussian border and in Gallcla there apparently is a lull. On the success or failure of the German attempt to force a way to the English channel at whatever cost may de pend the future of the campaign not only in Belgium but elsewhere. To-day's official French statement, the only authoritative word up to early afternoon, sketched out a battle line which adhered closely to that pre viously reported. In contrast with yes terday's frank admission of a German advance, including the capture of Dlx mude, the French statement officially was noncommittal. Fighting con tinues with violence on the western end of the line, It Is said, but there are no indications whether the Germans have succeeded in pushing further their advance. It is assumed in all quarters that the utmost energy of the allies will be expended In efforts to halt the German movement west of Dixmude, as the road lies straight to Dunkirk, on the channel. Many Minor Enxaeomcnts Minor engagements are reported at other points on the line, but apparent ly there have been no movements of note. Along the Servian border the only other point from which heavy fighting Is reported, the Austrlans are making a determined effort to crush Servia and complete the campaign before the opening of winter.
