OLD and disagreeable as
tho weather was yes
terday a largo number
of people flocked to
the Methodist Episcopal
church, on East Oak
street, yesterday morn
ing to attend the
special services held In
commomoratiou of tho
rebuilding of tho
church after tho great Are In November, lb83.
In the evening there wero also special
services a youug people's meeting under the
direction of Mr T. It. Edwards in com
uiomoratlonof the samo event, Rov. William
McCullough, D. I)., of Philadelphia, preached
an eloquent sermon in the morning.
The evening services wero opened by tho
singing "All Hail tho Power of Jesus Name'
by tho congregation, and Rev. William
Powick, the pistor, led In a recital of the
Lord's prayer. Mi-s Libbio Balubridge gave
a touching, sacred recitation entitled "The
"Night Conioth," and seven little girls rcn
derod "Tho Cold Water Cross" very sweetly,
Rev. William McCullough followed with a
three-minute address on "Thanksgiving,"
after which tho choir rendered "'Immortal
Pralio," an anthem, with profound oll'cct.
A comet solo, "Sweet By and By," was ox
cellentlj rendorod by Mies S. Boddail, and
James Hough recited "Lend a Hand" with
considerable cifect. A soprano solo, "Ho
Wipes the Tears From Every Eye," by Miss
Jetinio Revan, was a splondld rendition
I!ev. Powick made a brief but vory interest'
ing address on "Tho Power of Song," after
which an instrumental duett, "He Shall Feed
His Flock," was very pleasingly rendered by
Messrs. licddall and Hitchings. "Consider
tho Lillios," a soprauo solo by Miss Jennie
Clirisman, had an Improssivo oflect upon tho
congregation and a recitation, "Tho Changed
Cross," by Miss Jennie Gunter, was nlso very
Impressive. J. J. Price's, "Tho Cross of
Christ," was n lino tenor rendition. Tho
ehoir rendered a selection, "Surveying tho
Cross," and tho dismissal number, "Praiso
the Lord," both of which showed that the
choir is composed of excellent voices and tho
members are in the hands of a good director,
Tho pretty llttlo chapel of the Protestant
Episcopal church, on- East Oak street, was
crowded last evening, to listen to a special
sermon by the rector, Rev. O. II. Bridgman
to the members of Mat. Jennings Council
No. a(7, Jr. O. U. A. M. About oighty mom,
hers uf tho Coumul were present, lu accor
dance with proclamations issued by the
National and State Councilors. It Is an
annual custom of the order to attend divine
worship tho first Sunday following Thanks
giving Day. liov. Bridgraan's sermon was
attentively listened to, which proved of
special interest to the members of tho order.
As a prcludo to his sermon, the rector dwelt
at somo length upon tho relation of tho
Episcopal church of this country to that of
tho stato church of England, proving con
clusively that they are two distinct bodies so
far as government is concorned. lie tlieu
very ably reviewed tho principles and objects
of the Jr. O. U. A. M., dwelling especially
upon that portion favoring tho reading of
tho Bible in tho public schools. Ho closed
his remarks by a glowing tribute to tho work
already accomplished and to be accomplished
by the ordor, wishing them much success in
the noble work they havo undertaken. Rev.
Bridgman is well thought of by tho members
of All Saints' church, and his discourse last
evening was favorably commented upon by
the members of tho order present.
There was a good attendance at the Trinity
Reformed chuich, on West Lloyd street, last
evening to hear tho pastor, Rev. Robert
O'Boyle, preach the first of his new series of
popular sermons. The text was taken from
St. John VIII ; 12. "I am the light of the
World." The subject of the sermon was
'Tho Great Search Light" and tho discourse
was a very interesting one. Jiev. u uoyie
opened with a description of the manufac,
Hirers building at tho World's Fair at
Chicago, which led him to a description of
tho arrangement, size, method of manufacture
and usefulness of the two great search lights
which were on the towers of the great
buiUing. Several lessons were drawn
from the subject of the discourse. One of
them was the effect of light. The
clergyman Slid that as lie stood be
sides one of the great lights on the fair
grounds he beheld iu the lmwerful rays of
the light a statue of Abraham Lincoln
fifteen miles distant. When the light was
turned oil', all was miserable darkness.
Jesus Christ is the great search light of the
christian soul and when the soul It illumi
nated by that light all is happiness, but when
it is shut out, all is darkness and misery.

list, cowioenoed a two-week rnlatlou in the

tho Presbyterian church, corner White and

sermons yesterday. Rev. Morrison has an
excellent delivery and his arguments are
backed with a force that Is thoroughly con
vincing. Ho has alroady become very
popular with tho congregation and his con
nection with tho church promises to bo nvery
successful one.

"THE KIND THAT CURES."

A copy of the Seattlo Voat Intelligencer,
just received at the Hkr vui olllce, gives a
ivld description of heroic conduct at a fire
n that city by Joseph Latham, a former resi
dent of this town, and who is captsln of
truck No. 1 of the Seattle Are department.
The Pitt-Welligeneer thus describes the
heroic act: "Chief Hunt had not gotten
from his buggy when some one iu the crowd
yelled: 'There is a woman in the building 1
The chief and Latham rushed into the
building and mado their way to this upper
story amidst blinding sraoko. The groans of
a human being came to their ears from a
room down the hall, and separating one went
down either side. The groans led Latham to
a room where ho found tho body of u man
stretched at full length on tho floor at tho
sido of the bed. His trousers were partly on,
but his feet wero bare, telling the story of
how ho had jumped from bed, grabbed his
clothed and been overcome by smoko before
being able to mako his escape. Latham
picked up the body and mado for the head of
the stairs, but so dense had the smoko
become that it is doubtful if ho would havo
gotten out save for tho assistance of other
firemen. The body of the unconscious man
was takon into an adjoining house, where
restoratives wero administered. After
considerable time the effects of tho smoke
wore off and he recovered consciousness."
While a resident of this town Mr. Latham
was an active membor of tho Columbia Hose
Company and is now an honorary member of
it. During recent visit to this town, 1io and
James Lynch, also a former Shonandoahite
and now in the service of tho Seattle flro
department, wero tendered a public testimo
nial in Robbins' opera house by tho Columbian,
who will read of Mr. Latham's gallant deed
with much pride.

"True Irish Hearts" is a drama which
appeals very strongly to the Irish heart. It
is full of lun, songj and dances. A largo
number of humorous incidents are happily
interspersed among the serious ones and givo
vivacity and sprightllness to the action. Tho
play is an Irish comedy drama with an
unusually well laid plot, and the scenic dis
play Is a featuro that has received careful
attention. An excellent company combined
with a strong plot cannot fail to please the
most fastidious. We predict "standing room

MOST daring burglary
was perpetrated at the
residence of Patrick
Conville, ou West Line
street, at an early hour
yestorday mor ning.
The circumstances in
dicate that the burglars
woro of a desperate
clxnactor aud they
must havechloroformcd
all the Inmates of tho house in order that
they might do tholr dastardly work uudis
turbod. There were six people iu tho house and
not oue of them knew that tho house had
been robbed until thoy awoke at tho usual
hour yesterday morning. Then they found
closets, trunks, wardrobes and bureaus in a
very disordered condition and they plainly
saw that they worn victims of marauders.
Tho last of the family, which consists of
brothers and sisters, retired at about half
past ono o'clock yesterday morning and
everything in the house was secure.
The first of tho household to awaken was
Martin Couvlllo, a lad of 11 years. It was
about 7 o'clock when ho loft hit bed and as ho
nttompted to cross tho floor he staggered and
fell ovor a rocking chair. Tho noise aroused
tho other orcupauts of tho house and all com
plained of 111 symptoms. They felt dizzy and
sumo of them were almost ill enough to
vomit. The bed clothing in the sevoral
roomi and a strange and sickening odor,
Martin- was so much affected that he was
obliged to leavo church later in the morning
wliilo services wero iu progress.
The symptoms of the family were sufficient
to warrant the presumption that the burglars
had made use of chloroform. The members
say the house could not ha re boon given sush
a thorough overhauling without awakening
somebody if a drug was not used.
The burglars entered the house through a
back kitchen window after cutting out a
pane of glass and releasing tho catch inside.
Every considerable hiding place in every
room of the houso showed traces of tho visit,
and Indeed the traces lead some to believe
that the burglars new something of the ocou
pant's habits.
Iu the house was a chest having three
locks. The burglars opened all with kej s
taken from the clothing of John Conville
and secured over sixty dollars in cash. They
also took a silver watch belonging to Patrick
Conville and valued as a family memento
Two other silver watches of minor value
which had been taken from the bed rooms
wero found ou a table in the dining room,

All tho closets and other places whero
clothing waB kept wore thoroughly ransacked
and tho clothing scattered upon the floors.
Two empty revolvers which had been placed
upon a chair close to one of tho beds woio
found on a chair at tho other end of the
room, covered by a vest
A tin box of a make similar to ordinary
cash boxes was found forced open, but tho
burglars were disappointed to loam that it
contained only old nails aud other trash.
Tho finding of tho two silver watches on
tho dluiug room tablo is accepted as evidence
that tho burglars left the house in a hurry.
A woman residing iu a neighboring house
says that at an early hour yesterday morn
ing slio heard some men talking on the street
in a half undertone and one of them said,
"Never mind them, let's go."
A ohisel which had evidently been used in
the burglary was found in the shanty of the
DUlman property next to the Conville prop
ertv. The burglars had also forced an
entrance to the shanty, but recovered nothing,
The burglars evidently took their time and
did not overlook any possible place of con
oealment. Miss Conville left a cloak in the
front room on the first floor when she retired
Saturday night. She left In one of the
pockets 55 cents In change and a geld ring.
In the morning the i loak was found on the
floor. Tho money had disappeared, but the
riug was still there. On the Inside of the ring
was engraved a name, and the burglars were
not taking any chances. They took no
clothing or anything else by which they
could be traced, save the one silver watch,
The amount ot oath they secured was $75 19,
