THEAIURPAY MEET1Ne
At the First baptist church Last Night =
Success. cf

Us -
A fair audience greeted Francis Murphy
at the First Baptist Church last night.
After singing a Gospel hymn, the meeting
was opened with scriptural reading byAf
Murphy, with running comments, and
prayer by Mr.. Welsh. Rev. G. N. Shot
urged the people TO take more active In
terest in the movement. Itwas not, he
said, for the temperance people alone, nor
the church, but for the whole people, and
he hoped they would see the necessity OF
the work.
hlr. Murphy made some remarks in an
amusing vein about knowing day."
Mr.. R. r. Garrison, of Pittsburgh, also
made q few remarks, giving his experi-
ence, and testified to eight years service
in the cause OF temperance and the peace
ofmind, comfort and pleasure that SER
vice had given him. He urged every man
in the audience who had not signed the
pledge to come forward and do SO.
Mr.. Clarence Irwin spoke a few words Of
encouragement 10 those who had not sign
ed the pledge.
Mr.. ?. Welsh said II he made a temper
ance speech he would surprise himself as
well as the audience, but he got through
In very neat manner.
Mr.. Murphy said he did not believe
there were i've drinking men in the audi
ence. He urged the necessity Of all chris
tian people wearing the blue ribbon. A
walking populace wearing the blue badge
would have an influence beyond compu-
tation. His appeal to men to come for.
ward and sign the pledge was forcible, and
many awaited themselves of the invitation.
One or two Of these were drinking men,
who will receive the "God speed" Of every
Christian as they start upon new Lille.

The Hebrew festival Of the Pesach or
Passover began at shutdown on Monday
evening, and continues until April Z. For
several days busy housewives have been
house-cleaning for the event. On the day
before Passover the son, If the first born,
iasts; il too young, it is his fsther's duty
TO last for him. This is in memory Of the
Staying Of the first-born Of Egypt, which,
though contributing to the Hebrew re-
demption, was SO wonderful an event that
the Hebrews commemorate 1t to this day.
On the first two nights Of the festival the
Hagpadah, or story Of the redemption, is
read by the head OF the house. On the
table Is unleayened bread, and with itare
seen bitter herbs, small roasted lamb
bone and roasted egg. They symbolic
the bread Of atllictiup and the hard labor
Of the Hebrews, OF the exodus, the pascal
lamb and the festive sacrifice. The Hag-
gadah closes with hymns and psalms.
The festival lasts eight days; during the
week leayen Is not eaten. The Passover
bread is q kind OF biscuit, but without the
least aduiteration, The medical fraternity
sometimes prescribes 1t to the exclusion
OF all other bread.

Bridgeport was yesterday visited by q

Valley Glass Company, formerly the Nail
CITY Works, being entirely consumed.
The FIRE started about half-past one
o'clock in the afternoon in the pot room,
and 50 dry was the roof and wooden build
ing that il was enyeloped in flames in an
incredibly short time. The means at hand
for staying the spread Of the blaze were
extremely limited, but were used to good
effect, the "bucket brigade" by heroic
work succeeding in saving the two ware
houses, which were filled with manu-
featured goods.
About sixty men are thrown out OF em-
ployment by the destruction Of the build

inS telegraph insulators, beer bottles and
other green glass goods. Most Of the stock
| In the warehouses belonged TO parties OF Q
distance, who had purchased goods and
left them on storage. These goods were
insured in Wheeling companies, as well
as the warehouses, and by their escape
from destruction the Wheeling insurance
men escape loss.
A telephone message wassent over to this
eity asking for an engine TO be sent over
to assist In holding the fire in bounds.
The authorities here responded that IN
order to procure an engine from this side
those interested in saving the property
would be required to pay for the services
Of the machine $50 per hour, and assume
any damage to the engine on the trip over;

passed an order that an engine should
leave the city only on the terms mention

option OF the city officials.
The exact origin the fire is not known.
Men were engaged at work at the time
near the spot where the flames started,
hut did not notice the blaze until 1t bad
gained considerable headway. 1t was
then too late to save the factory, but by
the use OF buckets the two warehouses,
one south and the other north Of the fur
naco building, together with the office,
were saved. These were full OF ware,
mostly sold and awaiting shipment, The
only manufactured goods destroyed were
in the packing room, under the same rool
