Anniversary of the Second baptist
SundaY-schOOl-Tb ExercEses.

Sunday-schOOl-Th Exercises.
The Sunday-school of the Second Bap-
tist Church celebrated the semi-centennial
anniversary of its organization Thursday
evening. There was large audience inIat-
tendance, and the exercises were of par
tieularly interesting nature. The church
was prettlly decorated, the pulpit being
literally bank of blossoms, and in large
characters of green were the figures $50"
suspended in front of the pulpit. The
programme opened with an anthem fol-
lowed with devotional exercises, and was
made up of singing, addresses, reports of
officers, and memorial exercises.
The secretary's report referred to the
efficient leadership of the superintendent
and his assistant, and stated that advance
ment had been made in nearly every de-
partment of the school, The total men,
bership is 4SS; AZ teachers, 43 pupils in
Bible class, $50 in main room aud $50 in
infant department. The average attend
ance for the year was $50. Regretful
allusion was made to the death of Annie
Parrish and Willie Horn, which occurred
during the year, and who were memorial
lied in the services. The total receipts for
the year were $3.50. 04 exclusive of $103.S0
raised for the missionary fund.
Superintendent Alfred Gawthrop read a
highly interesting historical paper which
cited the incidents and progress of the
school during its so years of existence.
Upon first organizing in 1886 the school
met in the old First Presbyterian Church,
Tenth and Market streets, and Mr.. Heri-
tage, an active worker, was superinten-
dent, secretary and treasurer. The post
of superintendent was often filled by DIR.
Harris, William L. Wheeler, MS. Cooper,
John 7. Zebley, William B. Sharp, Jacob
M. Chalfant, Washington Jones and Alfred
Gawthrop, the present incumbent, since
1872, except one year, when DIR. Kemp
discharged the duties.
Miss Lydia P. Drew, who served as as
sistant superintendent shortly after the
organization, is still a member of the
church, and Mrs. Mary Ann Hirst who was a
member of the school when it was organ
lied was present last evening. Six pupils
of the school have entered the ministry,
five of whom still survive. The difficulty
of procuring male teachers was COM
mented upon and the efficient work of the
women teachers highly extolled. A pass
ing allusion in regret was expressed at
the illness of several of the lady teachers
and congratulations expressed to those
present that the school should pass its
tiftieth anniversary under such favorable
auspices.

Work and Oosne Back Again.

A strike occurred about two weeks ago
among the bricklayers, masonR, carpenters
and building hands generally of Washing
ton, D. O., for eight hours day. The
master builders of that city have been
making efforts to get hands from other
cities, and one of them was in this city
during the early part of last week. He
secured some "a men, 13 of whom started
for Washington on the 7.45 train Tues
day night week. About Is bricklaysrs
went down from Philadelphia about the
same time.
On their arrival they were met by n de-
tachment of the strikers and informed of
the situation. The consequence was that
they refused to go to work yesterday
week and returned home to this city
and Philadelphia that night. There were
II more bricklayers of this city who had
expected to go down but were telegraphed
by those already in Washington to stay at
home. Therefore they did not start.
Some of the strikers were seen Thurs
day morning by a GAZETTE represen-
tative. They stated that member of the
master builders organization of WASH
ington came to this city to look up hands.
He offered S4.5 so for nine hours work,
with eight hours only on Saturday.
Twenty-four of the bricklayers of this
city accepted this offer, and 13 went to
Washington Tuesday night week, the re-
naming IL intending to follow the next
day. When the IS men arrived in
Washington q committee waited on
them and explained the situation. They
say they were not aware before they went
that strike was in progress. When they
got there they found that the bricklayers,
masons, carpenters, plumbers and all
class of craftsmen who work at building
had struck for eight hours. They had
been paid $3.50 for 10 hours work. In
the strike there was nothing said about
wages. The strikers met the Wilmington
men, and the latter say, treated them like
gentlemen. The latter assured them that
they did not know how matters stooda and
declared they would not go to work
that they were not scabs and
had no intention to undermine the
strikers. A special meeting of the Brick
layers Union of Washington, was called
at o'clock in the afternoon, when
each one of the Wilmington men was
given travelling card as member of the
of the National Bricklayers' Union. Their
fare back to Wilmington was paid by the
Washington union. They telegraphed
the men here not to come down, and were
escorted to the depot for their departure
by large crowd of the strikers. The
Wilmington men were all Knights of
Labor.

THE b. a. O.'S VIoT0RY.
The Staten island Rridge Hill Passed
by the u, y. senate.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Senate to-
day resumed consideration of the Staten
Island bridge bill and after consuming
almost the entire session in its discussion
passed it unanimously. The tunnel
amendment received only five votes
Bowen, Hampton, Mcpherson, Plump and
Sewell--but these senators did not vote
against the bill on its final passage While
the interests involved in this measure are
no doubt very great, the discussion of it to-
day was not quite thrilling enough to fill
up the galleries or keep senators in their
seats. The speeches were very good in
their way. Senator Vest made one of
his strong arguments in favor of the bill
and urged its Importance to the commerce
of the country. Senator Sewell, with a
large parchment map spread out over
several desks before him, attempted TO
demonstrate the detriment to commerce
and the inadyisability of the bridge.
Other speeches were made no less thrill
ing, though in commercial point of view
no bill of greater importance has passed
this session. There seems to be no doubt
of its passage in the House. Being re-
garded in the interest of cheap trans
portation, as it will aid competition be-
tween the great through lines, its likely
to capture the votes of the large granger
element in the House from the west, and
this in itself is almost enough to pass it.

MIR LORE ON MAoKEREL.
He Opposes a BiIl FAthered by New
EnRIaMders.

WASHINGTON, May 2I.-This morning
the House resumed consideration of the
bill prohibiting the importation of mack
erel during the spawning season.
Mr.. Lore (Del. snid that siuce the days
of wooden nutmegs and Waterbury
watches, he had never read of such an
ingenious piece of mechanism as was con-
tanned in the bill. II was practical
prohibition of the catching of mackerel
from Cape Hatteras to Massachusetts,.
and he wished to remind the gentlemen
from there that there were fishermen
outside of Massachusetts and Maine. He
denied that the catch of mackerel during
the spawning season diminished the
supply of fish, and quoted from
statistics to show that there had been
a steady increase for years in the yield
of the maokerel fisheries. But he
maintained that if there should be
a closed period it should be from June to
August, that being the spawning season
proper, The people Of Delaware did not
wish to be confined TO salt lnaekerel MS
they would be under this bill. They
wanted fresh irackerel now and then.
Mir. Brown, (Pa J inquired satirically,
how many fish it would take to supply the
people of Delaware? Laughter.
Mr.. Lore said: while Delaware is
small, l don't know that the appetite of
the people is less on that account. The
Delaware delegation is we'll grown. There
are three of us, and we are all six feet
tall"
In conclusion Mr.. lore said that the
reasons given in support of the bill were
unwarranted, while the reasons against it
We're overwhelming. He supported the
proposition to refer the whole subject
to the fish commission,

A. Trial which Attracted Much At
tenfion i'm CenIrevtlbe.

The trial of DIR. David Sparks, fol
assault with intent to kill Edwin A. Pratt
came up at Centreville, Nd, Wednesday,,
May 18th, and attracted much attention
during its progress, owing 10 the local
prominence of tho parties and the strange
features of the affair. The jury Oh Fri
day morning, after being out seven
minutes, returned verdict of mot
guilty. The Centreville O5se7oe1' sum
marizes the case as follows:
.'The unusually quiet town of Centre
vile was thrown into fever of excite
ment on the morning Of December 9th last,
by the news that Edwin A. Pratt, veteri-
nary surgeon of the town, had been found
on Lawyers Row, in front of the brick
building known as the Perry Building in an
unconscious state, with fractured skull,
broken nose, an injured leg and with his
body covered with numerous bruises and
contusions. At first the affair was mys-
terry, no one being able to unravel it. In
the course of two or three days, when the
matter became to be discussed intelli-
gently, the mystery surrounding the case
began to clear away and in the minds of
some definite conclusion was reached,
which was to the effect that MIR.
Pratt had indulged rather too freely
in what the local option law defines to
be "spirituous liquor" on Tuesday, the
9th of December, and ut nightall was
under its influence. He was ut the Arling-
ton Hotel the greater part of the evening
and left there about midnight. 1t was
learned that he then went to his Office in
the town hall in company with friend,
where they were afterwards Joined by 4.
w uarlarY s.f kl,a ~,
with committing the alleged assault.
They remained there for some time and
then repaired to the rooms occupied by
DR.. David A. Sparks in the Perry Build |
ing. MIR. Pratt's friend left the three |
gentlemen in the rooms at about l o'clock |
and went to his home. The next morn. |
ing Pratt was found lying on the pave
ment as stated. The theory of |
some was that Pratt had wandered into |
the building, and as the second
story window of the hall was |
found open in the morning, it was sup
posed that he had fallen out to the pave |
ment about is feet below, thereby sustain
ing his injuries. Others thought that Mr.. |
Pratt had been assaulted by either Harley |
or Sparks, or both, and then carried out |
of the building. The parties while de-
nying tho charge in toto, were reticent
the movements during the
night of the alleged assault. Pratt lin
gered between life and death for some
time, but finally rallied with his health
permanently shattered and an injury to
his right knee from the effects of which
he has since been very lame. The grand
jury presented both parties for assault
with intent to kill and the case of Sparks
was taken up for trial.n

Burning OG sIin Penn Hardware
Works On Tuesday Night.
II RI,

Works ON Tuesday Night.
Reading Times, May ~.
A few minutes after o'clock last even
ing Police Officer East, who was standing
at Front and Chestnut streets, noticed u
dense volume Of smoke issuing from the
Penn hardware works, ut the foot of
Spruce street, between the Schuylkill
canal and the Schuylkill river, and on
closer investigation he discovered that the
building was on fire, and at once sounded
fire-alarm box 12. The fire when first
noticed was burning on the second floor
of the building used as a warehouse and
finishing department. The flames burned
fercely, aud by the time water was thrown
upon the fire it had gained considerable
headway. Soon MS the fire was discovered
IL number of men from the sheet-mill ran
to the scene and, assisted by the watchman
ut the building, endeavored to extinguish
the flames, but their efforts were of little
consequence. Chief Engineer Miller, soon
after his arrival, ordered second alarm
sent out ,as the flames were rapidly spread
ing to all parts of the building. The fire.
men bravely fought the flames, but owing
to the difficulties encountered in getting
to the building, the efforts of the depart
ment at first met with little success.
After an hours hard work the flames
were gotten under control, but not until
the stock and machinery in the building
had been entirely ruined. Crowds of
people thronged to the vicinity to witness
the fire, and us the tongues of flame shot
out from the different portions of the
building, and the smoke in dense clouds
rose over the southern section of the city
the scene was grand in the extreme. By
10 o'clock the flames were entirely extln-
guished, although a number of firemen
were about the building throwing water
upon the smoulding debris, two steamers
having been kept upon the ground until
late hour to be i'll readiness should the
flames break out second time.
The building destroyed was large three
story brick, and was erected about year
ago. 1t was used as q warehouse and
finishing department, while greater por-
tinn of the two-story buildingat the upper
end of the warehouse was also partially
destroyed The loss will reach between
$40, 600 and $25, 900, the building and
machinery being covered by an insurance
of 1926, 900. The fire throws out of en-
ployment about rs men, but as the build.
ing and machinery will be rebuilt by the
company as soon as possible, they will
probably not be idle very long. he
origin of the fire is unknown, but when
first discovered the flames were on the
| second floor,

II. s o. FreiEh. 1o Now York.

The New York correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun Thursday stated that it
was again reported there that the Balti-
more Il Ohio Company has made arrange
ments with the Jersey Central to begin
running trains into New York the latter
part of this week. The first trains, it is
said, are to be freight, although emigrant
trains may begin next week. The con-
nection is to be made by way of the Will
mington & Northern road, which runs
between Wilmington, Del, and Reading,
Pa. The Baltimore a. Ohio authorities
say this route, by way of the city of
Reading, is 40 miles longer than the
Pennsylvania line between Baltimore
and New York, but that it would be
more agreeable to have traffic arrange
ments with an ally like the Reading
company than with competing line. II
is apparent that if the Baltimore & Ohio
proposes to run through TO New York in
dependent of the Pennsylvania before its
new line is connected in Philadelphia
with the Reading, the Wilmington a.
Northern is the route to be used. The
indications show that to be the intention
of the Baltimore IL Ohio company.
Freight, express and emigrant business
can be handled by way of the city of
Reading, but it is not likely that the first
class passenger travel will go that way.
The executive officials of the two COM
panies are said to be figuring for opening
mp this line, and the freight agreements
are probably settled, but it is given out
that they have not yet come together on
the cnigrant traffic.
