Interesting Services at the Eighth Street
Synagogue Yesterday.
Yesterday was the sixth day of the third
month Swan in the Hebrew calender, seven
weeks after the Passover, and is one of the
high days of the Hebrew Church. 1t is the
one day of the year on which the rite of
confirmation is observed. Eighteen children
were initiated into the Hebrew faith. The
Eighth Street Synagogue was filed with
the best known, Hebrews of this city and
the ceremonies were interesting. The
services, beginning at 9 o'clock, were con-
Quoted by Mr.. Pachter, DR.. Mayer, assist
ant, chiefly in German. A chapter from
Exodus was read ON the giving of the law
on Mt. Sinai.
Rabbi Mayer and the confirmation class
took their places on the platform about 10
o'clock. After the psalm, Rabbi Mayer led
the congregation in prayer. y
The five books of the law were then taken
from the crypt and unrolled while the chill
dren stood up and the boys recited the
blessing upon the people, pronounced at the
giving of the law, in Hebrew.
The Rabbi concluded the confirmation by
catechising the boys on the principles of
the Hebrew religion. The children are usu-
ally confirmed between the age of 13 or IA
years. All other synagogues held services
of like character

To EIlwOod by Three Railroads

Parties from this city can reach Ellwood
Sunday by three roads. On the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad the Rock
Point express leaves at 8:20 A. NJ from Allie
gheny, connecting at Ellwood Junction
with special train for Ellwood. The Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad, morning ex-
press, leaves its station on the Southside
(Birmingham) at 9 A. NJ, and arrives at
West Ellwood, the new station on that road,
in time to connect by ferry with the special
train from Ellwood Junction for Ellwood.
The Pittsburg and Western train from the
end of Ninth street bridge, Allegheny,
leaves at $3.50 A. NJ. and runs direct to ELL
wood. By this road special reduced fare is
offered, viz, 81 for the round trip. These
tickets must be procured at Black & Baird's,

a FEARFUL G0oDBY.
The Sorrow of Two Daughters Over the
Departure of Their Father.

The Sorrow of Two Daughters Over the
Departure of Their Father.
A poor, feeble old soldier was brought to
the Union station last evening to be sent to
the home at Dayton. He was accompanied
by two beautiful daughters, and when the
time came for them to leave him, the part
ing was heartrending. Again and again the
girls rushed back to bid the old man goodby,
and their sobs and moans were truly pitiful.
More than one observer turned away
unable through pity TO stand the scene.
The veteran had to be carried to the train
in his weakness, and with loud cries the
daughters saw the Panhandle express disap-
pear in the tunnel with their father. 81

NOW MAN AND WIFE.
John Lofink and Jennie Ford Quietly Mar
ried by Judge Gripp,

John IOnnk ana Jennie Ford Quietly Mar
ried by Judge Gripp.
John Lofnk, aged 10, and Jennie Ford,
II, were married at the bedside of the bride
by Magistrate Gripp at 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The parties are those in connec-
ton with serious case in which the bride
was the victim few days ago. Lofnk was
released from Jail on a $1,000 bail bond
Thursday. 1t was at his mothers sugges-
ton that the marriage was performed, and
young Lofnk kept his promise Mrs.
tofnk, Sr., and number of other near
relatives were present. A brother of the
bride was also there
The bride was propped up in bed during
the ceremony, but was so weak that she had
to lie down again Immediately afterward.
The indications are favorable now to her
recovery. As soon as she is strong enough
she will be removed to the home of her
mother-in-law
The marriage does not prevent legal
action against Lofnk, though it may modify
it. The old colored woman in the case has
a mass of evidence piled up against her, and
every effort will be made by the police to
put her behind the bars.

GROWING VERY MoN0T0N0Us.

Young Amalgamated Delegates Not Having
Things Their Own Way.
The Amalgamated Association spent the
whole of yesterday discussing the wage
scale. The work is getting quite monoto-
nous, especially for the new delegates who
came to the convention filled with
the idea that they would carry
things their own way. They are getting
so completely showed under by the
conservatives that they scarcely know what
has struck them. The scale will be COM
pleted about Tuesday next, when the con-
vention will hear the officers reports and
take up the other work awaiting considera-
tion.
1t leaked out yesterday that the associa-
tion is likely to announce itself in favor of
reciprocity and high protection before it
adjourns. 1t is said resolution is to be
passed to be used as political document in
1892, and if the delegates stick to the Re
publican party the manufacturers win con-
cede an advance in 1892 As the conven-
tion is largely made up of Republicans and
tariff Democrats, the resolution will not
likely find much opposition.

TROUBLE ABOUT TOOLS.

A Plumber Sued for Assault and Battery
Before Alderman Gripp.
Alderman Gripp heard case of assault
and battery last night, in which James
Burke, a journeyman plumber on strike,
was the defendant and James Farrell, an
employe of McGinnis, Herlehy & Co., was
the prosecutor.
1t appears that on last Friday Burke took
Farrell's tools from him while the latter
was on his way to work, and took them to
the plumbers headquarters on Market
street. Farrell went to his employers shop,
on Grant street, whore he told of the oc-
currence, and Mr.. McGinnis went to the
Market street room with him to recover
them. While there Burke caught Farrell
by the arm, which was the basis of the
suit. The Alderman reserved his decision.

To the fire insurance agency of Mr.. j. W.
Arrott, of this city, in which, among other
lines of business transacted, the insurance
of rents of buildings as against loss by fire
has been a speciality. 1t is pleasing to
know that this class is receiving more at
tention at the hands of the public, so that
soon our citizens will be fully protected.
But this, while pronounced feature of Mr..
Arrott's office, is only small part of his
business. He insures all classes of hazards,
as against loss by fire in companies of the
very highest standing, and includes therein
all damage by lightning. In addition to the
above one important insurance is being
thoroughly introduced by this agency, viz:
steam boiler insurance and employers liza
bility insurance. For this an invitation is
extended to all who are steam users and
who give employment to numbers of men
and women, to call at once at Mr.. Arrott' s
Office, 533 Wood street, and get estimates of
cost of these.

SLOW EXPRESS BUSINESS.
The Companies Always Have a Dull Peri,
In the Summer,

The Companies Always Have a Dull Period
in the Summer.
'The hot months of the summer are our
dull season in the express business" said
NJ. E. Valiant, of the American Express
Company, yesterday. "We can count on
the traffic being slow until August at least.
1t does not follow that when the
freight business is light that the
same rule will apply to the express
companies. In such cases the reverse is
usually true. Shippers have small packages
to send, and, instead of using the freight
lines, they ship them by express.
freight men are not boasting Of good
times these days, neither are the express
agents. We generally count on dull period
during the summer, though the depression
in trade may be having more than the aver
age effect on US at present"
