FOLLOWED THE PASTOR.

Rev. j. A. Burnett's Congregation VIII Ask
to Be Admitted to the Monongahela
Presbytery of the q. p. Church-over
Fifty Names Placed on the Petition.
The friends of Rev. J. A. Burnett, former
ly pastor of the Williamsburg Reformed Pres
byterian Church. but lately suspended from
the R. P. ministry by Presbytery for SUBJ
scribing to and upholding the principles of
the now famous EAST End platform" have
determined to give him a charge in wilkins
burg if it is possible. They met last night in
Lohr's Hall to the number of about 50, Mr..
Burnett being present at their request.
Robert Thompson was elected Chairman
and Walter HaZlett Secretary. The proceed
ings were opened with prayer by Mr.. Bur-
nett who then told the object of the gather
ing. It was to take steps for the organiza, e
(Mr. Burnett) was to be pastor.
The object was so well understood before
hand that it did not take long for the meet
ing to draw up a petition to the Mononga-
hela Presbytery of the United Presby terian
Church asking for an organization in VIII
kinsburg. As soon as the petition had been
drawn up by the Secretary and read by the
Chairman, there was a general rush to sign
it. Forty signatures were affixed to the doc
ument at once, and it is expected that so or
so will be obtained before it is presented to
the U. p. body.
Asenongahela Presbytery will meet in
Williamsburg on June 80, and it is understood
that the petition will be granted without
hesitation. The new organization will be
known as the Second U. P. Church of Will
kinsburg.
An address was delivered by Mr.. Stewart,
an elder of the First United Presbyterian
Church of Pittsburg, bidding Mr.. Burnett
and his friends God speed and extending to
them the right hand of fellowship
In response to general call Mr.. Burnett
spoke briefly upon the situation in which he
and his adherents found themselves. He
pointed out the necessity of working hard
and bending every energy toward the ac-
complishment of the purpose for which they
had met. He said he hoped to do as much
good in his new church as he had meant to
do in the old, to which he referred most affec-
tionately more than once.
1t is expected that about so of Mr.. Bur-
nett's old congregation will follow him. He
has been holding services in Lohr's Hall
every Sunday since his suspension, accord
ing to the form of the edPresbyterian
Church. He will continue in this hall until
a new United Presbyterian Church can be
built. but will, of course, adopt the ritual of
the United Presbyterian Church as soon as
he is admitted to that body. There is not
much difference between the United Presby-
terian and Reformed Presbyterian Churches,
they being nearer than any other branches
of the Presbyterian faith.

ADVANTAGES OF SHADE TREES.
No Sunstrokes in Williamsburg, but Plenty
of Sickness

Although the temperature in the sun in
Williamsburg has been as high as else
where in the vicinity, there had not
been any cases of prOstration by heat
up to last night. In conversation with
4 DISPATCH reporter, DIR. J. s. Stevens,
OF that place, said: zone might think we
should have a good many cases of!sunstroke
here, with the mercury so near the top of
the tube. But l have not had single case
and have not heard of any. The reason is
simple. We have so many shade trees that
the sun does not get chance at the people.
DelleYe the surest preventive of sunstroke
Is plenty OF shade trees. Williamsburg is
pretty well supplied in that respect, and she

Colored Baptists Threaten to Pull Away
From Their White Brethren.
At II o'clock this morning there will be a
meeting of the Colored Baptist Association
at the Baptist Church, Scott and Robinson
streets, Allegheny. Many prominent
preachers of that denomination will be
present. There is considerable animus in
the purpose and intent of the meeting, as
there is a wish on the part of many of the
colored Baptists of Allegheny, it seems, to
make e'themselves Independent of the domin-
alton of the Pittsburg Association. This
body has assumed to dictate the standard of
faith to them.
Rev. J. H. Pryor, pastor of the Ebenezer
Church, Colwell and Milton, it appears, is
the prime mover in the deliberations to be
carried on this morning, together with j. c.
Taylor, of the Tabernacle, and Rev. r. S.
Laws, of the Green Street Church, Allegheny
Rev. Mr.. Pryor has been eXcommunicated by
the Pittsburg Association on the charge of
heterodoxy. He proved himself an open
communicates and the ecclesiastical court
expelled him.

NO MATERIAL CHANGE,

The Strike in the Building Trade Shows
No Signs of Breaking.
The strike in the building trade remains
as before. While the Builders Exchange
officials claim some secessions from the
ranks of the strikers, the committees of the
latter disclaim them. Both sides seem dis
posed to continue the warfare. Reports of
attempted conferences sent abroad yester-
day could not be traced to a reliable source
A bricklayer called upon Mr.. McCandless at
the Joslyn theater to ask if he had any sug-
gestions to offer for q compromise, but Mr.
McCandless had none. He said his craft was
firm in refusing any concessions
Agent 0'Brien, of the bricklayers reported
that he had information from the officials of
the International Union that ample assist
ance would be forthcoming. Sixteen brick
layers went to Roanoke, Va, yesterday and
many of those now idle are expected to find
work in short time.

WHY HE is HOPEFUL.

Hot Weather in june Insures q Good Ex-
cursion Traffic.
Division Passenger Agent Smith, of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, remarked yester-
day that in his experience of 20 years in the
business he always noticed that when the
last two weeks of June are hot that the ex-
cursion season is sure to be a good one.
Early in the sumnser people are not hard
ened to the heat and with the first calorio
wave they make up their minds to go away.
If the weather is cool until the middle Of
July, a great many persons decide it is too
late in the season to leave home and so
swelter until cold weather comes
There are some who take their summer
outing every year regardless of the heat or
cold

Free to Shut Out Competitors.
Superintendent W. d. Paynter of the local
telephone company, said last evening that
number of people in Philadelphia and this
city whp had whacked up literally to have
bill passed providing for reduction in tele-
phone rates feel sore that the measure never
got through the House, and they now think
they were hoodwinked. The Bell patents
will expire in 1898, but rather than allow a
rival company to gain a foothold in this city,
Mr. Paynter said they would make the lines

to have a monopoly of the business at all

WINDOW PRICES FIRM.
Glass Men Will Not Advance Rates at the
Chicago Meeting.

Chicago Meeting.
Another meeting of window glass manu-
facturers will be held in Chicago to-day to
consider the trade. Secretary William
Loeffier headed the PAsburg makers who
left for the Windy City on the ff---;ted last
evening. He said many of the factories on
account of the hot weather had already shut
down, and by July all the plants would be
closed.
The association may instruct the Wage
Committee or the latter may make partial
report but as usual Mr. Loeffier didn't know
what would be done. Some trouble is ex-
pected when the conference-o of the men and
makers is held in August.
The stocks are low, but prices remain firm.
MI. Loeff1er was sure the rates would not be
advanced. The building strikes are local in
their effect and do not interfere with the
general trade.
