Teller Says He Favored the Veto.

WAsmNGToN, August 6.-Secretary Tel
Ter emphatically denies the widely published
report that he advised the passage of the
River and Harbor bill over the Presidents
veto. He says he happened to be in the
Senate chamber, ON business concern
ing his own department, shortly
before the vote was taken, but that
so far from saying anything in favor
of the vetoed bill he incidentally expressed
to several Senators his opinion that the bill
was very obnoxious measure, and that the
veto ought by all means to be sustained
Secretary Teller further remarks that he
voted against every river and harBor bill
that came before the Senate while he was a
member of that body ; that he made
a matter of fact, he regarded the last bill as
much worse than any of its predecessors.

Interesting Services Yesterday and His

Interesting Services Yesterday and a His
tOrical Address by DIR. Martin.
Very interesting services were held in the
Old Swedes Church yesterday morning, on
the occasion of the reopening of that struc-
ture after having undergone extensive i'm
provements, repairs and restorations, The
building was crowded and DIR. H. b. Martin,
of Trinity Parish, officiated. He took as
his text the 18th verse of the 14th chapter of
Exodus -" Speak unto the children of
Israel that they go forward" +"
DIR. Martin quoted portion of a report
made 81 years ago by Rev. Isaac Pardee,
then rector of the parish, to theconVehtion,
as follows, and stated that since then the
new church alluded to had been built, paid
for, consecrated, used for purposes of divine
worship, the administrations of the sacra-
ments, sold and on last Sunday vacated
The minister of Trinity Church, vii
mington, entered upon his labors as rector,
September 25, 1928. Previous to his taking
charge of this parish it had for several
months been without a pastor, and conse-
quently its members had been somewhat
scattered and the congregation was deelin-
ing. But from the commencement of the
present rector's labors it has been a great
satisfaction to see the congregation con-
stantly increasing in numbers. II has now
become large, and is In very prosperous
state.
This society has, however, experienced no
small disadvantage from the location of
their church. tits some distance from the
town, and at some seasons of the year scarce
ly accessible. The congregation has, how
ever, resolved TO remedy the difficulty by the
erection of commodious building In the
town. For their liberality and zeal in the
propsecution of this measure they deserve
great credit. The building is to be CON-
menced Immediately
A brief history of Old Swedes and Trinity
Chapel was given, including dates, names,
and other matters of interest down to the
present time.
The pastor then reported what had been
placed In the box deposited under the altar
slat, mentioned In the GAZETTE last week,
and read copy of the paper placed there
by William j. Fisher, giving a concise
account of the work done during the past
year.
At the conclusion of.his sermon the rector
earnestly urged upon his hearers the
necessity for renewed and active exertions

Destructive Storm.

Chambersburg, Pa, was visited yesterday
by a terrific storm, "four inches of rain fall
ing in an hour and half" Tha storm was
not more than four miles in width. In
Chambersburg nearly all the cellars and
many first floors of houses and stores were
flooded. The Falling Spring oyerfowed its
banks, cutting off the northern portion of
the town, and compelling people to quit
that the damage to property would be about
$1,000. About 90 feet of the Cumberland
Valley railroad was washed away about half
a mile from Chambersburg, and the break
was discovered just in time to prevent two
sections of an excursion train, containing
over l 100 persons, from pluuging into it.
There were also several washouts ON the
Western Maryland railroad.

Telegraphic Companies in Litigation.

DAYTON, Ohio, August GA petition
was. filed yesterday in the Superior Court
by the Mutual Union Telegraph Company
to compel the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to cease to discriminate
against the Mutual Union In the matter OF
receiving plaintiffs messages for transmits
sion. Messages which have been sent to the
Mutual Union office through Mutual Union
messenger boys, called up by electric bells
owned by the Mutual Company, are turned
over to the Western Union for transmission
when they are destined for points not
reached by Mutual Union wires. The West
ern Union has refused to accept messages
from the Mutual Union, contrary to section
3,462 Revised Statutes of Ohio, which
requires all telegraph companies to accept
and transmit messages offered by any tele-
graph company. A penalty of 800 is affixed
IN each case of such refusal, aud under this
law the Mutual Union Company intends To
bring suit in nearly dozen eases OF refusal.
A temporary injunction has been granted
compelling the Western Union to receive
messages from plaintiff pending suit for
permanent injunction.
