A PREACHER ASKS FOB BAPTISM.
Rev. Mr.. Bruff, of Uniontown, Changes His
Creed and His Church.

UNIoNrowN, Dec 23.-[SpeciaL ]-Rev. W.
II. Bruff, pastor of the Methodist Protestant
Church of this city, has resigned. In brief
communication to the congregation he said
that his mind had undergone change i'll
theological matters. This evening he pre-
sented himself at the Central Christian
Church ana asked for baptism and that he
be received 4 member of the church.
There was large congregation present to-
night at the Disciple Church, and after few
remarks by the pastor. Rev. J. C, b. Stivers,
Rev, Mr.. Bruff arose, and said, in substance:
Having renounced the pastorate of the Methodist
Protestant Church in this city, ana having
nounceG my intention of entering the Christian
Church and its ministry, and henceforth to be
known simply Disciple of Christ. ii devolves
upon me tn give a reason ior the change. The
Disciples of Christ require assent to other creed
than the all-comprehensive one of divine revela-
non, namely. that Jesus is the Chris, the Son of
the living God. The man believing this truth with
all his heart believes all that the ible teaches
corning the divine Savior. and will also obey from
carly church every one who believed and obeyed
test of fellowship required of him than faith
in Christ and obedience to His commands. The
united church of the future will also. believe re-
quirc no more of men and women than asked
in the apostolic age. The Disciples of Christ make
the word of God the only rule and guide in faith
and practice. II Is, also. true that other Christians
make the Bible their guide. but not their only
guide. since they have their articles of religious
discipline and confessions of faith in addition.

Two Men Go OF on a Spree and Only One Is
Alive to Tell the Story.
BUTLER, PA, Dec. 23.-(SpecidL IA brutal
murder was committed at Petersville, near
this city, in the l00-foot oil field. In a boiler
house owned by Griesbach & Co., on the
Welsh farm, the dead body of Peter S.
Dugan, a pumper, aged about % years, was
found. His skull had been crushed in two
places, the wounds evidently having been
inflicted while he was asleep. with a ham,
mer. Suspicious turned to James F. Mills.
Shortly before Il o'clock Mills was found
asleep in Christie Brothers boiler house, on
the same farm.
At the inquest it was shown that Dugan
and Mills hired a rig Tuesday evening
and drove over to Renfrew to attend
dance. At O'Clock in the morning they re-
turned to Petersville under the influence Of
liquor, some what boisterous. They went to
Frank Norris boiler house about o'clock
this morning and began quarreling, brandish-
ing knives in so threatening a manner that
the employees of the boiler house left the
premises. This was the last time they were
seen together. Mills this afternoon claimed
that he left Dugan at the edge of n strip of
woods between the lift and Welsh farms
and did not see him again. Two boys saw
Mills leave the boiler house with hammer
in his hand. Going inside, they saw blood
on the floor and two terrible gashes on
Dugan's head. They boys hastened to their
homes and told the story. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of murder. Dugan is in the
Butler Jail.

McKEEsroRr, Dec. 2S.-lSpecidI 1.-The pros

building are very rosy. Senator Quay has
written to Postmaster Soles that imme-

n bill for Government building in this city
His letter to-day asks the postmaster to for
ward a statement to assist him in preparing
the bill. Some time ago the postmaster saw
the necessity for building and, assisted by
the press stirred the matter up, writing to
Senator Quay. All facts ana data necessary
will be sent the Senator.
Citizens here say the Chicago telegram
stating that the Mckeesport Tube Works
Company are to remove there is ridiculous
as there is no such company here. There is
National Tube Works, but it is as firmly
anchored here as the city itself.
