New oonrregat ional Church.

Rev. Geo. III. Wilson occupied the Con-
gregational pulpit Sunday morning and
evening, preaching to as many persons as
could crowd into the church. AS result
of his sermons the sentiment in favor of
building new church which has existed
for several years assumed definite form at
meeting of the church and society held on
Monday evening. At that time pledges to
the amount of SO, 800 were received, which
has been increased since to $12, 900; COM
mittees were appointed to solicit funds, to
procure plans, etc. The church will be built
on the present site, to cost not less than
$4,000. The work is rapidly assuming
definite shape, some material already being
on the ground and the contract has been let
to move off the chapel.

The following communication from the Mayor
was presented by the Clerk:
To the Honorable common council OF the City
OF Owosso:
GENTLEMEN:-It take this occasion to call the
attention OF the council to matter that is be
coming every day OF more importance to the
city.
The business streets OF the city, especially
Washington street, between Mason and Main,
| on any ordinary business day, are filled with
teams and wagons loaded with wood, hay, straw
and other farm products. These teams occupy
the whole street for hours at time, monopoliz
ing the hitching posts.
It is often dificult and dangerous to drive
through. and people who come to trade, espec-
tally ladies, can find no place to hitch their
teams.
The probability is that land for city market
will never be cheaper than it is now. and the
old race property is well adapted for the pur
pose, and can be purchased, the city paying
for the property when title is perfect.
recommend that the council take steps to
purchase suitable site for market and then
an ordinance be framed requiring loaded wagons
and sleighs to occupy the same under proper
regulations as to weights and measures, and
proper inspection of produce offered for sale.

Evangelistic Meetings.

Evangelist S. Hartwell Pratt and his
singer, Mr.. Birkholz, have been conducting
revival meetings i'm the city during the past
two weeks and the results of their work are
worthy of highest commentator, The
evening meetings have been held i'm the
Baptist church and the afternoon meetings
i'm the Methodist and Congregational
churches. From the outset the attendance
at the evening meetings was so large that
many were unable to obtain admttance and
were compelled to return to their homes dis
appointed. Mr.. Pratt is q speaker of I'M
usual ability and avoids the Objectionable
methods often resorted to by persons engag-
ed i'm evangelistic work He endeavors to
convince men of the error of an unchristian
life by reasonable and logical argument
based upon the scriptures and does not ap-
peal to any great degree to the emotions or
endeavor to force persons to q decision
through fear of future punishment. He
tells the story of the wondrous man of Naz-
areth I'm simple yet sublime manner.
The bible readings were not attended as
largely as they should have been, the at
tendance probably averaging less than one
hundred and fifty persons at each meeting.
Many have lost a golden opportunity for
learning the hidden truth of the Word. Mr..
BirkholZ was detained at home by sickness
in his family until the second week of the
meetings; he arrived however before the
second Sunday. He possesses an excellent
voice and rivets the attention of his audience
upon the underlying thoughts of the songs
he sings. The chalk talks given by him
afternoons for the benefit of scholars and
enquirers were largely attended and were
very profitable The meetings have resulted
in a great quickening of religious zeal
among christian people and the conversion
of very large number OF persons.
The fact that no audience room could be
obtained to accommodate the crowds who
turned out to the meetings was great him
drance to the work, and the present bright
outlook for new churches in the city is a
source Of much qualification to church going
people.

MINES full OF WATER.
A Drill Hole Lets a Flood Pour Into
the Pit.

HAzELToN. Pa. February A terrible
accident occurred at Jeanesvill at II O'Clock
this morning. Seventeen men lost their
lives. The accident occurred In slope No.
1. operated by j. G. Hayden & Co. This
working is situated Immediately under the
old workings known as No. 8. which was
worked out some five years ago. and which
was filed with water. The cause Of the
disaster was due to the drilling OF a hole
through pillar which liberated an immense
body Of water confined In the old workings,
which flooded the new workings, drowning
all of the men In that portion OF the mine.
William Breslin, driver at the bottom OF
slope felt the wind and cried. Boys. Tor Cod s
sake run for your lives, or we will all be
drowned" In moment the force OF water
came, and Breslin barely escaped with his
lille. Six others were saved. The water
rose SO rapidly that no attempt could be
made to rescue the rest Of the workmen, The
slope, 624 feet deep, Is filed to the mouth.
Eighteen men are lost OF whom eight are
married.
Hayden & Co. will pump the water ont as
Rapidly as machinery placed In position can
do the work. How long it will take Is
a question. No definite idea OF the
volume of water can be ascertained
Many theories are advanced as
to the cause of the disaster. The slope where
the accident occurred IL a new slope sunk
from the bottom Of worked out slope. The
latter had been flooded at least sixteen
months. Only few Of the old miners knew
of the presence Of the great body Of water.

CONCERNING the scARsoRo Ac-
cipENT.
Some Changes In the Rules Likely to
Be Ordered.
Especial to the Press.]


AUGUSTA. February 5.-The railroad COM
mit.ee will probably give an adjourned hear
ing into the causes Of the recent accident at
Scarboro beach station on the Boston 81
Maine, next Tuesday, when Eugineer Bon
ney and the others who were prevented by
their injuries from testifying at the first hear
ing are expected to be present. 1t is now un-
likely that when the commission makes its
report. it will suggest some changes in the
Boston & Maine blue flag rule. Now when
blue flag is displayed at station indicat-
idg that train has just passed, the rule pro-
vIdes that a train following shall proceed
carefully. The commission Is understood to
favor change whereby blue flag would
bring trains to stop until a certain number
of minutes after the passage of the first train
had elapsed aud the flag was removed. This
Is the rule used on the Maine Central.
The Boston and Maine officials, as repre-
sented by Supt. Merritt at the recent hearing
say that while they could operate under such
a rule In Maine without Inconvenience, in
Massachusetts,, where they run great many
more trains, the rule would cause many vex-
atious delays. They also say that they can
not have one set OF rules for Maine aud au-
other for Massachusetts, as trainmen could
not be expected to run from one state to an
other without making blunders liable to
cause accidents.

word.
They are, however, having him kept under
police espionage so that In case any new evil
dence should be discovered they can have
him brought back for trial.
