FUN INA CELLAR.

Great Entertainment at the Expense Of All
Sorts of People.
The basement of the Edmundson building,
at the corner of Diamond street and Cherry
alley. is occupied by a detective agency, and
some of its members have had royal fun for
months by practicing sort of ventriloquism
on passers. The basement is so constructed
that practiced person can by talking with
his mouth toward different angles throw his
voice in any direction he chooses. The dis
covery was made by accident, and the occu-
pants have garnered no end of fun by it.
For instance, a newsy or bootblack is
passing. He is called apparently from some
window in the opposite building for paper
or a shine. The gamin, if not on his guard,
is quick to catch on. and he is sometimes
sent to dozen different rooms before he
finds that he is being guyed, aud for long
time the fraternity could not fathom the
mystery.
Perhaps the most amusing thing, and at
the same time the most distressing to the
victim, is to inform young lady from some
angle that her hustle is awry, or of some
other disarrangement of her dress. Though
she be ever SO certain that her harness must
be right, yet she cannot refrain from an in
vestigation, and by the time she learns of
the trick she is speechless with rage, and
cannot locate it. She soon persuades her
self that the legal fraternity is not to blame,
as it is often as ignorant of the origin as
herself

CONFLICTING THEORIES.
Mcdonald is Supposed to Have Shot Him.
self Accidentally,

Mcdonald ts Supposed to Have Shot Him
self Accidentally,
Yesterday Coroner Mcdowell viewed the
body of Joseph B. Mcdonald, the boy who
shot himself in Allegheny Saturday night,
and fixed the inquest at IL o'clock to-day.
The ball touched the lower part of the boys
heart. His body was taken to the home of
his brother, John Mcdonald, 55 Decatur
street, yesterday.
The general impression is that Mcdonald
shot himself accidentally. When he arrived
at his mothers house Saturday night he
said he had come home to bid his people
goodby, and he meant to go to Cincinnati
on Sunday boat. His sister was in the
city, and he went out to the steps to await
her return. It was shortly after this that
the shooting occurred.
A friend of Mr. McDonald's, q young man
named Clyde Harkins. said yesterday that
he understood that Mcdonald and Miss
Minnie Jones, of Brunot's Island, had been
married last summer. Mcdonald did not
have steady work, and they did not live
together, Miss Jones securing position as
a domestic with a family in Allegheny.
Harkins said that Mcdonald was quite de-
spondent over this, and had told some of
his friends that he would do something and
they would know of it on Sunday.
MI. McDonald's brother was asked about
this story, but had heard nothing of it, and
was inclined to believe the shooting was &C.

A TEMPTING OFFER.
Penn Avenue Catholics Will Give 500, 900
for the Butler M. Z. Churchill May
Nos ha Acra1e.H

Penn Avenue Catholics Will Give $50, 200
for the Butler M. E. Church-It May
Not be Accepted.
The Butler Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, which is ore of the largest and most
influential in Pittsburg, may shortly be sold
to the Catholics. The Rev. w. II. Pearce,
pastor of the church, in speaking to a Dis
PATCH reporter yesterday, stated that the
authorities had received an offer from the
Catholics of $50, 900 for their property. The
Butler Street M. E. congregation own the
building and land adjoining the church,
which was purchased by them for $1,000
about six months ago.
No definite action has been taken by the
official board about the offer. 1t will, how
ever, receive their consideration in short
time Whether or not they will dispose of
the property is problematical. No member
of the board will talk upon the matter
Quite a number ofthe members of the church
are opposed to selling the property because
such signal success has been achieved in the
past, and fortune, even now, smiles upon
them.
It is said the Catholics of the district are
in quest of better facilities than they have
at present, and they hope soon to acquire
this property. They offer tempting price
which it is thought the Methodists will not
sneeze at. If they gain their end the build
ing will be completely transformed.
A member of the Butler Street Church
said last night: 81 have heard that the
Catholics offered $50. 900 for our church, but
as to the sincerity of the offer I am unable
to say. It is my private opinion the offer
will be refused. shall bitterly oppose any
scheme for disposing the property in
such a manner. cannot conceive how
such project has a chance of being crys-
tallized No, sir, Butler Street Church,
with its 800 members, must remain intact.
However, I speak for myself, and what 1
believe is my duty toward the Church.
Every member of the congregation must be
consulted before it can change hands, and
the responsibility Of accepting or refusing
the offer is with them"
Within the past year a number of the
Butler street church members migrated
toward East Liberty. These people still
hold their certificates of membership, and it
is limited that they would like to have the
church moved nearer their homes, because
they have been associated with 1t from its
inception. 1t is thought that these people
may bring some influence to bear upon the
balance Of the congregation, to persuade
them to accept the offer, and rebuild new
and more modern church in the aristocratic
quarter of East Liberty. What the outcome
will be is still shrouded in darkness, and no
reliable forecast can be made.

ministers in the Cumberland Church, will
preach the dedicatory sermon at 1880 in the
morning. In the afternoon Rev. A. D.
Miller, President of the Wavnesburg Uni
versity, will oifciate at communion service.
The services will conclude with a sermon in
the evening BY Rev. j. .Koehne, the pastor
of the congregation. Special music will be
arranged for the occasion, and will be under
the direction of Miss Warden, teacher in
the Pittsburg Female College.
The church building is one of the most
unique structures in the city. It was de-
signed by Mr.. Jacobs, the architect and is
fashioned after the Moorish style Of build
ing, the same as was used during the first
century of the Christian era, and is the only
one of the kind in this city. 1t is a two
story structure. On the first floor is lecture
room, parlor and study, and on the second
is the auditorium, with a seating capacity
of 600. The interior is handsomely dec
GRATED. Light will be admitted through
large stained glass windows by day and will
be furnished by electricity at night.
The church is to contain a novelty in the
way of musical instrument. Instead of a
pipe organ a vocation has been purchased.
This is a new style of instrument of foreign
invention, and is said to have been named
by Gladstone. He gave it the name Of
vocation because its tone resembled that of
a human voice. The instrument looks like
pipe organ in appearance, but double the
volume is produced by the vocation than by
a pipe organ of the same size. Miss Warden
has been engaged to manipulate the new in
strument
The church has been erected at a cost of
S25, 900. The lot on which it has been built
cost $15, 900 and 1900 parsonage is con-
nected with the building. John b. Trim
