Seeing several pieces in the papers in re-
gard to the Sabbath School at Evans City
being locked out of the Baptist Church, |
deem it but justice to the school and my
self to reply.
In the first place our Sabbath School al
ways elected their own officers and fixed
their own hour for opening and closing, the
church granting us that privilege. In
April 1891, the time of superintendent IL.
c. Boggs expired and the school with the
members of the church who locke.l the
house ON the school, met and helped to
elect the officers Of the school, aud fixed
the hour of meeting at 3 O'Clock pm. said
officials to serve for one year.
Our school commenced To increase in
number and interest and SO continued un-
til we had the largest school in the town
and it WAS pronounced by all who knew
any thing about the school to be the best
they ever saw.
This being the cese. why the members
of the church locked the house on us de-
mands an explanation; the school demands
it and the citizens of the town demand an
answer.
Now why was this donel Where is our
new Libraiyf Where is our $l0.4S worth

fore we were locked out and have not got

Middletown, Ohio, was the scene, of
another rear end collision last Saturday
rear-a School excursion train, filled with
people of Dayton, o., returning from an
excursion to Woodsdale, was delayed on
the road, and was run into by an immense
freight train. The two rear cars were
thrown from the track and the third tip
tilted. Several persons were killed and
many injured. One of the cars took fire
which was fortunately subdued. In this
case the conductor OF the excursion train
feared collision and notified the passen-
gers to leave the cars if they heard the
freight train coming.

In the harbor Of africa, Chill, some days
ago, the steam launch ofthe q. S. Steamer
Pensacola was blown up by mistake, by a
Chilian torpedo boat and five men whose
homes are near New York were killed.
There was heavy fog and objects at dis
tances Of 100 yards could not be discerned
with any distinctnsss. The steam launch
had left the Pensacola on the regular eve
ming trip to the shore and was making her
way slowly. Suddenly those on the man
of-war saw the little boat lifted completely
out OF the water, as if a subterranean
monster had risen up under the launch and
tossed it in the air. There was the dull
echo of q half smothered explosion and
then wreckage was scattered in every
direction. Not sound Of human voice
was heard. The quiet that followed told
plainly that tho 1--WE men abroad the launch
had either been killed outright or SO
manned as to be unable to make their con-
dition known. The search light Of the
Pensacola was brought into play, and at
the same instant orders were given to
lower the boats. When the broad rays ofthe
flashlight made spectre against the great
curtain of fog the Condell was discovered
only short distance away. The Chilian
cruiser had mistaken the launch for an
insurgent boat and had used q torpedo with
deadly effect. There was intense excite
ment aboard both vessels for the next
twenty minutes, and signaling continued
between the man-of-war and the torpedo
boat for some time. When the state of
affairs became known the Condel COM
mander dipped his colors and sent his chief
officer aboard the Pensacola. 1t then be-
came known that the explosion of the
torpedo was . stupid blunder on the part
of the cruiser. Such apologies as could be
offered were made, but the feeling among
the comrades Of the dead sailors was very
bitter. The bodies were not recovered
The Pensacola proceeded to Iquique and
on June was again exposed to great
danger Balmaceda's cruisers, the Lynch
and Condell, pursued the insurgsnt ship
Oconcagua and would have captured her
had not the Esmeralda just then hove in
sight She finally put the government
vessels to fight, but the engagement was
hot while it lasted. Shot and shell were flying
everywhere. On board the Pensacola the
men crowded the rigging to see as much
as possible of the fight. One shell ex-
ploded within ships length of the Pensa-
cola's bow. 1t recalled to some of the old
memo -war's-men the time when guns were
aimed at her with much greater precision
and more deadly purpose.

Delegates At Large.

AMONG the other duties of the coming
Republican State Convention will be the
nomination Of eighteen delegates-at-large
to the proposed State Constitutional Con-
vention. Since our townsman, the Hon.
James c. Brown, does not seem disposed
to stand for that position in the county, as
suggested by THE NEWS, we would extend
our suggestion to the State, and nominate
him for delegste-at-large. The same
qualification and claims which we named
in his case in connection with the county
nomination would apply with even more
force in the wider field of the State. Mr..
Brown is well known throughout the
State, and is in every way representative
Pennsylvania throughly fitted by education,
experience, and ability for the position in
question. We commend Mr.. Browns
claim to the consideration Of the county
delegates, the western delegates, and the
delegates of the State generslly.-Green-

Quay as a Resigner.

Senator Quay has resigned many puohe
positions. He resigned the Beaver county
Prothonotaryship in 1861 to enter the army;
he resigned his army commission to become
Assistant Commissary General OF the State
under General Irwin; heresigned that ONCE
to become Colonel of the l34th Penna-
regiment; he resigned his Colonelcy to be-
come Military Agent at Washington; ne
resigned that to become Superintendent O.
Transportation and T elegraphs; he resigned
that when elected to the Legislature, the
one position he filled without resigna-
ton.
Quay next resigned as Secretary OF the
Commonwealth under Governor Hartranft
to become Recorder of this city; he resign
ed the Recordership to take the Chairman
ship OF the Republican State Committee;he
resigned that to except the Secretaryshlp
of the Commonwealth under Governor
Hoyt; he resigned that when Hoyt declared
for the Independents in 1882, he resigned
the State Treasurership in 1887 to accept
United States Senatorship, and now he Is
reputed as contemplating double reslgna-
ton of the Senatorship and of the Chair
manship OF the National Committee
Although Quay has been most poilhe
resigner of the public positions it would be
well, in preparing to swallow his reported
designations of the Senatorship and Chair
manship, to observe the precaution that
is often found on precriptions-"to be well
shaken before taken" During the laStfew
weeks Quay has allowed the newspapers to
do vast deal of resigning for him, but
when jammed into corner by an Asso-.
ciated Press agent and forced to say some
thing, he said that he might resign the
Craftsmanship of the National Committee.
