The Building Committee Located a Pro.
posed Church in a Swamp.
BEAVER FALLS, Nov. 2-TSpeciol !
The meeting held here last night by num-
Der of the dissatisfied members of the Pres.
byterian Church of this place to take pre.
liminary steps toward forming Second
Presbyterian congregation, was quite sue
cess. A large number were present to.
gether with Rev. j. D. Moorhead, pastor of
the present church, and several of his elders
and deacons. Harmony prevailed and COM
mittees on finances, location and the secur.
ing of names of those who would be WILLING
to join in the movement, were appointed
These committees were instrumental to re-
port to another meeting to be held next
Monday night, at which time, if reports are
favorable, delegates will be elected to pre-
sent the matter to the Shenango Presbytery
Tuesday.
During the meeting the fact was deyel-
oped that the split, which has been con-
templated for over year, was defeated last
spring by a scheme quietly worked by those
opposed to it. The trustees met, and while
they pretended to favor the move, their
committee, it is said, located the proposed
new church building in the upper part of
town in swamp. o. course, no one wanted
church in a swamp, SO that settled the
matter for the time being.

Trouble With the Bank Officers.
In that case the Treasurer is obliged to
notify the bank of the fact and to retain in
his possession enough of the notes to secure
to him the value he has paid out for them.
1t often happens, the Treasurer says, that a
considerable part OF banks circulation is
in the Treasurer's hands. Correspondence
is opened and the officers of the bank are
brought to see that they must obey the law
or suffer the consequences. .
To prevent a catastrophe they remit in
one sum what they might have sent from
time to time in a number of installments.
The Treasurer gives some notice of the
commission appointed last April ITO re-

construction, with a view of renewing or

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS ON TRIAL
They Are Each Fined, but the Fines Are at
Once Suspended.

CHICAGO, Dec. "A question of civil
rights was decided by Police Justice
Woodman this morning, and while the city
technically won victory, in reality it has
suffered moral defeat The decision grows
out of the action of the police at the time of
the Anarchist demonstration on the anni-
versary of the execution of the Haymarket
Anarchists, when they compelled the lead
ers of the demonstration to display the
American flag, and raid upon another
meeting few days later.
At the hearing in Police Court the pris-
oners claimed that the meetings were not
anarchistic and were entirely innocent of
menace to the public welfare; that one of
them was meeting of the managers of a
labor publication, and the other of trade
union. The Justice to-day expressed the
opinion that the assemblies raided were un-
lawful ones. He, therefore, fined the lead
ers S100 each and the others SO each. These
fines, at the instance of the City Prosecutor.
were at once suspended. This action was
presumably taken for the purpose of avert
ing an appeal to the higher courts 1t is
understood, however, that the defendants

COLUMBUS, Dec. FL Special THE fol-
lowing was issued to-day from the national
headquarters of the United Mine Workers
organization in this city:
To the coal miners of America-Grecting:
The National Executive Board of the United
Mine Workers of America, after a careful
investigation of the pending strike in the
State of Indiana, declare it to be one in
which the interest, not only of the miners
comprehended in the Chicago and North
western Competitive District, but of
the entire country, is deeply involved. No
country more far reaching in its influence
than that now waged by the striking miner
of Indiana. To carry it to successful issue
means an era Of peace and the possibility of

ere long have to undergo their present ex-
perience or descend still further in the al
operators of Indiana withdrew in such q
shameful manner from the interstate agree
ment they have been selling coal at prices
so low that operators in other States were
unable to meet them in competition. The
result has been, that whenever miners en-
deavored to increase their earnings,
they were ss Ten Foh tS1ee the reply
the miners of Indiana have by
peaceful methods sought to remove
the stigma resting on their State, and Just
as often have they been met with the cruel
taunt by their employers that they were
"ready to give the men a winters starva-
tion." Patience at length ceased to be a vir-
the. In your interest as well as their own
they have declared a strike. We do not
think it necessary to do more than mention
this case in order to appeal to you for flnan-
cial aid; but in order that there may be a
system, and that we may be enabled to give
the men in the breach proper support, we
ask every miner in the country to tax him
self 25 cents per week. Let meetings be
called at every mine at once and organize a
system of collecting funds.

MANY DErRo1TERs AspHYx1ArED.
a Natural Gas Accident at Night, and the
Police Arouse Half the Town.

DETROIT, Dec 2.-The natural gas sup
ply was suddenly shut off last night through
out the city, owing to an accident, and
several families in different parts of the city
suffered from partial asphyxiation. About
o'clock this morning the automatic trip
regulator at the distributing station got out
of order, shut off the flow of gas and extin-
guished all the lights and fires in the city.
When the regular flow was resumed the gas
permeated the houses of many families, the
inmates of all of which were asleep. Safety
valves on the meters undoubtedly saved
many lives. The manager notified the
police of the danger, and the patrolmen
reused half the town.
A call was also made upon the fire de-
partment, and all the men that could be
spared were about the city, while the de-
partment remained upon the alert, expect
ing 10 be called out every moment. Charles
kergan and Mrs. May Grenell. wife of Rev.
Mr.. Grenell, were both seriously burned
this morning by striking lights in the pres
ence of an accumulation of gas. Members
of other families are also reported suffering
from partial asphyxiation.
