Sunday at St. John
 Church.

! At the morning morning service at the St. John street M. E. church the pastor, Rev. w. F. Markwick preached from the text Luke TAO to 43. The pastor carried his hearers back to the scenes of the text with great naturalness and ability and made his applications with fine feeling and effect. In the evening the scripture lesson was 1st Kings, 7th chapter. The evening discourse was perhaps the greatest treat enjoyed since MT. Markwiek came to New Haven. The subject was: Elijah on Horeb; Text 1st Kings, 1911, 12 and 13 verses. The dis couragement in Elijah is symbolioal of the Lords people of to-day who are helped to- day by the Angel of Love as was Elijah be- I fore he reached Horeb.
 The disheartened prophet witnessed the grand display of the mighty wind and the fearful fire of God, but the divine in hl''' the s;still small voice' So we of to-day may remember the severe sickness of the past or the Encouragement when it seemed the powers of God would fire of the proving the still small voice of God has bidden arise and perform the work of the master.
 There is 8 time to come when all the con-
 troversy and disagreement shall cease and all
 shall obey the still small voice of the Saviour.
 God has called in his voice to come out to
 him as he has passed by. He shall call again
 in the judgment: listen to the voice of God
 now that at the future calling we may be
 ready.
 Above all, the text calls for the encourage
 ment of the disheartened. Gods work is
 ever being done. We may seem alone, but
 as in Elijahs time there are still thousands
 to do his will who have not bowed to the
 image of Moloch.

NEARING COMPLETION.
Yale'B Splendid New Recitation Hal
 The Unknown Benefactor.

Yale's Splendid New Recitation Ekall- The Unknown BenefacGor. The new recitation hall on the spot where the historic Yale fence used to stand and which is given to the university by donor as yet unknown is rapidly approaching com pletion. It is architecturally the pride of New Haven.
 Although many of the Yale alumni mourn the absence of the fence, it is greatly to the advantage of Yale that the noble building stands there. It dwindles the four old
 buildings known as North, South, North and South Middle colleges into smallness and in- significance in comparison. Although Battell chapel, Larned, Lawrence, Durfee buildings. Dwight Hall and the Art school are splendid specimens of architecture, the new hall sur- passes them.
 The brown stone necessary for the comple- tion of the stone work is already on the grounds, and the rest of the granite required will be here in few days. The platform steps and buttresses are all completed. The bases for the columns at the main entrance were placed in their positions a few days ago and the columns were placed there last We'd nesday. Saturday the workmen were engaged in putting the caps on the columns on the
 College street side of the steps, and the arch
 
 to spring. These will be five in number, each with span of twelve feet. Just about these arches, and especially at
 the main entrance, will be the most labori- ous and skillful part of the carving Under the supervision of Smith 6 Heath twenty carvers are at work. Bruce Price, the arch itect, has been up from New York city the
 latter part of the week and he was exceed ingly satisfied with the work and it's pro1- ress, and especially the polishing of the huge Scotch granite pillars ct the entrances. They are thought to be much superior to the Ital- ian marble pillars 50 extensively used in this country. There are fourteen of these col- umps, and they are arranged in four groups or three each, with one column at either ex- treme end of the sbsps. The pink shade or tinge in the pillarS is brought out in excsl- lent relief, and the hard, firm and tenacious character of the granite makes it take fin ish as smooth as lake ice.
 The stone work will all be completed by the end of May. The tilinp on the roof ia also nearly finished, and soon the iointino of the stone work will be begun, SO that the uu- slightly stag1ngs can come down and the ont side of the structure can be completed. On the inside of the edi6ce the lathing is almost nnisne1' ana the gas piping and plumbing have good weather and the usual force of men are kept steadily al work it ia onita probable that the building will be dedicated at the June commencement, and thsp it ia likely that the curiosity of the public, which has been so long exeited, will be at last gratifed when they may be enabled to read upon 8 conspicuous tablet the name of the liberal person whose estate has been depleted to the extent of nearly $200, ,00O in providing this beautiful edifce for the benefit of even those who shall belong to the classts of 1889 or even A. D. 2089.

Ennrr NnHna

The case against James A. Ford, Henry A. Blakeman and Timothy Kshely, who are charged with abducting Jennie Ford, a minor child, came up before Judge Pickett on Saturday. The penalty for either parent of minor child who shall decoy or forcibly take such child from the possession of the other, with intent to remove it from the State, is $500 fine and imprisonment not more than three years. Messrs. Platt and Moran were council for Ford, Attorneys Bush and Goodhart for Blakeman. The de- fense offered demurrer, stating that the complaint was not sufficient according to law. Judge Pickett said that he should sus- tain the demurrer but would give the city attorney 8 chance to amend the complaints by charging the prisoners with aiding, abetting and assisting the father in the abduction or with Kidnapping child for the purpose of taking it outside the State. The cases were continued until Friday for this purpose.

 NEW YORK. May II. A selling movemen in Oregon Transcontlnental attracted some attention to-day and gave rise to rumor that a compromise had been effected ne- tween the parties in contest for control or the property. The stock sold down IS, but recovered # toward the close, when the whole market was distinctly stronger. The only other active stock was Atchison. which fell 34 mainly on Boston sell ing, but fully recovered the decline. Chicago and Eastern Illinois preferred sold ex the usual quar- terly dividend of 116 per cent. and on few transac- tions advanced fraction to 97. Oddly enough Rock Island moved up IS, coincident with Presl- dent Cables published statement that the enforce ment of the Iowa rates costs the road S1oOo per day. The coalers and the wizards were all dis-
 tinctly buoyant. The bank statement had much to
 do with the improved tono of the market at the close. It expected the street that the state ment would show a decrease of several millions 1n the surplus reserve and the actual figures were pleasant surprise All the grangers closed on smart advances, due mainly to Chicago buying. The promising condition of the crops has made them all bulls out there.
