It).—At a meeting of workingmcn representing various industries of this city, an association was formed to bo called "The Workingmen's Protective As sociation of Essex County." It was! resolved to hold mass meetings to j consider ways and means that will ; be the most effective looking to the defeat of the Wilson -'Pari If bill, on the ground that its passage would mean either tho closing of the facto ries or great reduction in wages. Workmen in all lines of business [ affected by tho proposed tariff changes aro moving to organize com mittees to send representatives to j Washington to protest against the passage of the Wilson bil. STEKLTO.V, I'a. Dec. 11. Harder times coming for Sleelton.; Announcement was made last week that the works of tho Pennsylvania ! Steel Company would be closed from Deceml>er 23d till tho first of Feb. AD interview was had with general manager Felton who stated that the company was compelled to do just what many of the steel manufacturers throughout the country had already done, close down for lack of business. This is disastrous for these works that have been successfully run for twenty-eight years. But the ma chinery of the government has been changed which has and is causing this groat depression in business and thrown thousands of employes on ! the charities of the benevolent public j Over 3,000 men here will be out of j employment during tho shut down [ These things should and would Bot be if there was proper manage -1 merit at the head of the government. There is a great controversy going here between the Ivist Harrisburg and Citizens Electric Hail road On. It is necessary for the Citizens Co. to cross the track of the East Harris burg and they oppose it, hence the trouble. Tennis the murderer of little Ag nese Cooper Wright was hung in the jail yard at Harrisburg on Thursday. Over 500 persons witnessed the ex ecution »nd there is no doubt there were 10,000 people on the streets. James Bel) (colored) the murderer ofhiswhith mistress was captured in Baltimore a few weeks ago by the high constable of this town. The murder was committed here last April when Bell escaped. Diptheria has been quite prevalent in this borough during this fall and wiuter. The water has been pumped into tho reservoir and is giving satisfac tion. D. Jamison City has long been known as the town containing "four hotcle and no church." We are thankful to be able to say that this designation has now become obsolete. IJenceforth the mountains which hem in the town, lifting their heads so majestically toward heaven, shall echo the peals of the church bell, call ing half a thousaud people to the place of worship. On Sept. Gth we began erecting a church. On Nov. 19th it was dedicated. On Saturday evening the Quarterly Conference was held, and the presiding elder, Dr. Yocum, preached a helpful ser mon. On Sunday morning he con ducted a love feast, and then preach ed an inHpiring sermon on "Minis tering in Proportion to God's Gifts to Us." To his appeal for money the people responded as though they appreciated the privilege ot giving of their substance for the Lord's cause. Tb« entire cost of church and furnishings wag about $l,:50l), mid on* of the lots cost SGO. Tlie other lot was donated. All this amount, but S3OO, had been secured by private subscription. This balance was readily raised at the morning service to the great joy of all concerned. Ths dedication services followed, conducted by Dr. Yocum. At 3 p. is. a cbildrens service was held. Bfcort and fitting talks were given by Dr. Yocurn and others. l'he children engaged heartily in the singing, and seemed to realize that they have an important part in public worship. In the evening the pastor preached to a large and atten tive congregation. This, indeed was a glad day for the people of Jamison City. For our great sucess in building this beautiful church, and in paying for it, we owe our thanks to Him in whose strength we labor. As a re sult of this enterprise, may there be * great ingathering of souls, and a quickening spiritual life in the JiCarts of God's people! A> W. Hot'iz, Pastor. 1 ICS TEL LA TTJhJMS. W. M.
