j. 9. Boyd has preached since 1858. The
church was founded about the beginning of
this century, and its first pastor was Rev.
Joseph Kerr, father of the late DR.. David
Kerr, editor of the. United Presbyterian.
The pioneer Kerr entered upon the field as
a sort of foreign missionary, having been
sent out to the work by a Belfast Presby-
terry Immediately after his licensure. In
In the course of time ne was transferred to
this city, and was the founder of the q United
PRESBYTERIAN Theological Seminary, of
Allegheny.
The old church founded by the young
Irish missionary still prospers under the
ministry of j. C. BOYD, who is still hale and
hearty, and gives fair promise of enjoying
his semi-centennial with his first and only
flock. 1t seems a little queer at this day
that Pittsburg and the region round about
should have been looked upon as foreign
missionary ground by the North of Ireland
Presbyteries a century ago.
GERMAN RATIoNALIsM.
DR.. McCosh, Of Princeton, has recently
given expressions to the view that the Ger
man finish to an American students educa-
ton is dangerous thing. Much of the ra-
tionalism which has crept into the modern
churches and ministry is traced to German
lnnuence. Ii mas Deen Lne IaSnlOn IOr
Scotch and American theological students
to finish at Heidelberg, Halle or Berlin for
the past score or two OF years. The effect is
seen in the recent trials for heresy in the
Free Church assembly. Views that would
not have been tolerated in Scotch churches
a generation ago are now openly advocated
by professors in theological schools. What
the end will be no man can tell.
But certain it Is that views are now
openly upheld in Scotch pulpits and theo-
logical chairs which would have led to
social and religious ostracism not many
years ago. The same is in a measure true
of American pulpits. The Pittsburg Aduo-
cate in this weeks issue deplores the Ger
man influence on modern religious thought
thuswise: German finish to the education
of American students is dangerous thing.
according to DR.. McCosh. The doctor is
right. Germany has wonderful scholarship,
but it is very improbable in true nobility
of soul. Much o German theology is spec
ulative, and unproductive of results. 1t is
studied for its interest, and not to teach how
to work for God. Better the ignorance and
zeal of the unlearned disciple than the cold,
unresponsive inactivity of the theological
genius who wastes his time in theorizing.

RIPE FOR A REJOLETIOy.
Riotous Strikers i'm Barcelona Causing
the Authorities Much Trouble.

BARCELONA, May 3.-Riotous strikers held
complete possession of the city yesterday for
time. Placards have been cast broadcast
urging the strikers to pillage the city. The
mounted police charged the rioters, but the
latter resisted and attacked the police, finally
compelling them to retire In the evening three
regiments arrived in the city and the gov
ernor issued proclamation threatening death
to any of the strikers who interfered with
men willing to work The mob became cowed
at the firm attitude of the authorities and the
presence of the military and shortly dis
persed.
At noon today Notwithstanding the fear
that further trouble was imminent. the pub
lie market was opened as usual and a number
of worlcmcn went back to their employment
this morning. The anarchists are actively
engaged in attempting to foment trouble and
they have called meetings for Sunday. They
declare that the time has arrived for the be-
ginning of "a social revolution.
AT midnight the strikers assembled in
thousands. The troops endeavored to dis
perse them, but We're met with a stout re-
sistance. Some revolver shots were fired at
the soldiers who replied with volley. The
mob was then charged and scattered at the
point of the bayonct. Three were shot and
seriously wounded. Many arrests were
made

CHICAGO, May 3.-tSpccial Telegram to
THE Bee, The western lines have about
given up hope of meeting the reduced rates
made by the Great Northern to all Missouri
river and western points, and unless tho
trunk lines come to the rescue it will be inn
possible for the western lines to meet tho
necessary reductions alone, and even il they
do the Great Northern Is on record as saying
it will keep up the war until Chicago lines
arc fought to n standstill. Hitherto the hopes
of the Chicago lines in corresponding
but never as large reductions. have
been placed on the Eric as being u
line which would help the Chicago
lines by quoting lower rates and accepting
less propositions. But this hope is destroyed
from the fact that the Erie has joined tho
Great Northern in its cut, consequently tho
western lines see no way out of the dilemma
unless the trunk lines abandon all their pre-
cedents and come to the rescue of the Chicago
lines by agreeing TO reduction in rates. Tho
trunk line association meeting in New York
next Tuesday will decide the course of the

MINNESOTA FOREST FIRES.
An Immense Amount of Damage in
Wright County.

BUFFALO, Mimi, May Especial Tec-
gram to The BEE The most dangerous fires
that have ever been known are sweeping
through Wright county for miles. In Rock
ford township, about two miles southeast of
here, the fires have destroyed much property
in cordwood, fences, hay, meadows, etc. One
farm house, barn and other outbuildings
have been consumed thus far and others are
in great danger. On the west, three miles
away, the flames have burned for distance
of over five miles and are unchecked. AT a
switch two and one-half miles from here
over two thousand five hundred cords of
wood were licked up. There are also fires
raging in the woods half a mile north, and
like the others, is spreading very rapidly
Great excitement prevails, and as black
clouds of smoke roll up one after another it
makes the scene more terrifying. Nearly
every able bodied man in this village is out
fighting the fire and doing his utmost to keep
it from spreading, but their efforts avail moth
ing, as all the sloughs and swamps are as dry
as powder, and instead of furnishing a supply
of water only add to the fury of the flames
The loss so far is hard to estimate, but is
more than 100000 The village of Buffalo is
in the greatest danger and requests will be
sent to St, Paul and Minneapolis for engines
and fircmen,
