ROCHESTER,.

Yesterday was a memorable day for the Metho-
dist people of the city. A beautiful new church
building has risen above the ruins of the old one
destroyed in the cyclone, and yesterday it was
dedicated. The morning was bright and beauti-
full and long before the hour for opening the
people began to congregate in front of the
church, at 10 O'Clock the doors were thrown
open and as the people streamed down the isles
they were greeted by sweet burst of harmony
from q choir of thirty voices under the leader
ship of Prof. Bretheric. Bishop Foss of Mime
apolis preached the opening sermon, AT the
close of the service it was announced that the
society was still in debt to the amount of So 900
and that an effort would be made to raise funds
with which tie pay it. Solicitors were appointed
who passed through the audience and in less than
an hour raised the entire amount in subscriptions.
In the evening DR.. S. G. Smith, of st. Paul,
delivered an excellent sermon after which the
Bishop proceeded with the dedicatory service
The fact that society were able to dedicate a
structure costing S12,5OO, and wipe out the last
dollar of Indebtedness on the day of dedication
speaks well ufor their pluck and perseverance.
The pastor, Rev. John Stafford has been unceas-
ing in his labors. He seemed to grow stronger
i'll the midst of trial and calamity, his zeal in the
great work of rebuilding church in the midst of
a community already impoverished by the great
storm, is remarkable and deserving of praise.

NoRTHFIELD, Mimi, March 24-Two
quito serious accidents occurred yesterday

o'clock a. m. as a construction train was
nearing the bridge spanning Belle creek,
about five miles east Of Cannon Falls, the
engine, part Of the train and the track upon
which the train was moving were precipi-
tated down the embankment into the creek,
into the Cannon river, which is swollen to
an enormous height, and has washed the
dirt from under the track. No one was hurt.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Ladies who feel it incumbent on them to
get up complexion when they visit the the
alter, says the Boston Gazette, should find out
whether it is a comedy or tragedy they are
to witness. The other night lady, in whose
face was deity mingled the ints of the lily
and the rose, with decided preponderance
in favor of the lily, was so deeply moved by
the sorrows of Leah that her handkerchief
was called into frequent requisition. 1t was
not long before her nose stood out in painful
prominence like strawberry in the midst of
plate of vanilla ice cream.
Philip Matthews, prominent resident of
Bordentown, N. j., swallowed his false teeth
the other night while sleeping. He is now
lying in terrible condition.
Mrs Charles, known in Worcester county,
Maryland as the ''blue woman" is dead.
She was very eccentric in her manner but it
is said she was remarkably intelligent, and
was closely related to the descendants of
President Polk. She derived the name of
''blue woman" from the fact that her skin
was nearly the color of indigo, which resulted
from taking vitrol. Some of her relatives,
who are reputed to be wealthy, now reside ip
Baltimore.
There is one hunter in the Delaware river
region who does not believe in the super
stition that it is the worst kind of luck to kill
white deer. G. P. Tallman, of Wayne
county, Pennsylvania, says he has killed sew
eral of them in his day, and he is now hale
and hearty atfour-score; has fairly prospered,
and has always good health-except that he
has the asthma. Now they tell him this all
ment is the result of his folly in killing the
white deer.
Two Poles recently applied to the poor
master of Buffalo, N. Y, for aid and to be
directed on che road to Nebraska. They said
they had walked from New York, and were
going to join their families in Nebraska, but
had not the means of substance. They
seemed willing to continue the tramp, but
were given railroad transportation as far
west as Dunkirk.
New Hampshire fish and game commits
sioners intend this season to have a hand in
the deer-destroying business in the northern
part of the state. The law will be tried in all
cases where evidence sufficient to hold can
be procured. The commissioners are now
having published in pamphlet form two
thousand copies of the game laws for dis
tribution.
William Cline, of Westville, N. j., few
days ago killed hog of Chester white breed,
which although only few months over two
years old, weighed 1,040 pounds. It was
considered the heaviest hog ever raised in
New Jersey.

The Republican city convention was called
TO order at p. m. by 0. o. Pitcher, chair
man of the city committee, who read the call
and asked for the nomination of chairman.
Mr.. B. D. Smith was elected and took the
chair, briefly thanking the convention for the
honor conferred. Mr.. B. Bangerter was
chosen secretary. The following gentlemen
were, upon motion, appointed: j. D. Duane,
D. F. McGraw, j. R. Beatty, Cal. Smith On
motion of Mr.. G. Lamb the convention took
a recess until Wednesday at p IN. to give
the committee chance to prepare their re-
port AS the Democratic city convention
meets to-day at p. M, it is fair to suppose
that the committee will be by that time pre-

Killed,

At about five p. m. yesterday man by the
name of August Sluberg, driver for Ara
Graves met with quite an accident. While
exercising a colt he gave the festive equine
too much rope when it turned and playfully
kicked him. The blow struck him in
the side of the face and mouth
knocking out one tooth and breaking off an
other and cutting three holes in his face clear
to the bone. The young man was knocked
senseless and was taken up and carried to
the Office Of DR.. j. W. Andrews, where he
soon revived and had his injuries attended
to, which are reported as not considered dan
gerous. August desires it to be understood
that such playful antics are not appreciated
by him.

.Scra2) Iron Bill.

The audience which assembled on Sunday
evening at the Opera house to hear the er-
ratio advocate of temperance, was one of the
largest, if we except those of the dairym EMS
convention, which has convened in Mankato
for some time. Standing room was at dis
count, and many, it is said, went away una
BILE to gain admission.
The attention of the assemblage was most
perfectly held by the speaker who in his
usual vigorous style dealt sledge-hammer
blows to the enemies of the temperance re-
form. His vivid pictures of the evils of in
temperance were given in his usual forcible
style while his hearers were convulsed with
laughter at times by his droll remarks.
There were at least 1, 400 people present.
