FALLING AWAY OF THE CHURCH

Rev. MIR. Poteat Tells How the City |
Fraternities and Lodges are Draw
Ing the People Away From the
Church-The Remedy to Make the
Church More Social Institution.
Yesterday was communion Sunday at
the Calvary Baptist church and there was
a Large congregation present. Rev. Mr..
Poteat, the pastor, preached most
thoughtful and instructive sermon from
the text: "For my people have committed
two evils; they have forsaken me, the foun-
tain of living waters, and hewed them out
cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no
water" jeremiah II.
The principal theme of the discourse
was, how men are drawn away from the
church by one or another attraction. 1t
was the declaration of the Mayfower pill
grims that everything was done for God
and in the name of God. But in the lset
$50 years the church has been steadily
falling behind, in both spiritual
| and industrial affairs. In the community
which John Davenport founded the
| church and the community were confer
| minous. Now the majority of the people
| are outside the pale of the church, and
| things have come to such pass that the
| church must give some reason for it's ex-
istence. The wayjourners are drawn away
from the church into lodges, insurance
| societies, associations and fraternities,
| which is to say that the interests, social,
| intellectual and ben evolent, which former
| ly centred in church, now center in these
other various organizations outside the
| church. Less than 3 per cent. of the
workingmen of London are communicates
of the established church. In Chicsgo the
working people generally believe in the
church, and I was told by New Haven
gentleman that in one factory which he
worked in there was one Christian, in an.
other there were only two. In6del and free
thought ideas are the principal topics Of
conversation, and the, general feeling
word the workingmen's club,
have displaced the church. And what il
true of workingmen is also true of business
and professional men. They spend almos
fabulous sums of money at their clubs, il
erecting fine buildings and in furnishing
and running them.
| Now, there are two alternatives which
lie before US: First, to abandon the churcl
entirely and all join the clubs, thus giving
to them distinctly religious and Christian
character. Secondly, to recover to til,
church the interests social, intellectual an6
benevolent which it has lost. This latte
can be done only by diversifying the min
istries of the church. In word, by re
turning to the simple life of the earl,
Christians among whom the church stood
I for Gods love to man and mans love Il
man.
Briefly, the trend of his discourse wa
that the church fosters social distinction
and is not free and democratic enough.

The Snow In Prime Conditfon-An
Italian Draws a Revolver.
The youngsters of this city continue
freely enough and the fall of snow has
reached that state from which very
singing SNOWFALL can be dispatched.
Farmers and Transfers on high trucks
understand this better than anyone else.
Those who have occasion to pass near the
schools, about the time that the scholars
are leaving, generally take a roundabout
way-that is, if they have experience.
>. Yesterday several young men stationed
themselves at the corner of Hamilton and
Myrtle streets and tried to deluge with
snowballs every passerby. They tried to
perform this service for Michael Russo.
but that gentleman drew a revolver and
discharged it right at the crowd. The
bullet narrowly escaped one of the crowd
and imbedded itself in fence. Russo
was arrested and the snowbalIers will be
soon in the same box.

Home Opportunities.

A lady who returned from New York
Saturday from ehopping tour at the me-
tropolis and had become exhausted in tray
cling on the elevated railroad cars which
were crowded to sufocation, expressed her
firm decision to do her holiday shopping in
New Haven hereafter. 1t is, she said,
vertically hard work and great task to
attempt shopping in New York. The dis
tances are long, the stores crowded to ex-
cess, transportation is difficult, one goes
without regular meals, and returns homo
wearied and exhausted with something one
does not want. Our own stores with their
metropolitan displays are good enough for
me after this.

The License Question.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
New Haven is one of the best governed
cities in the New England states under the
present license system, while the town and
police pension fund receive a large income
from it. Providence and Worcester have
tried no license once and they want no
more of it. Strong drinks can easily be
obtained under no license vote and tenn
perance would be at discount.

Murphy's fathers meetings last week but
it was not as large as this. We are par
ticularly interested in the Kelley cure
there. We take a man, cure him of the
appetite and then it lies with the man him
self whether he will take drink or not.
Mr.. Murphy then spoke strongly to the
young ladies, referring to the great work
the ladies of Great Britain did during the
course of meetings there and of the won
derful influence young woman has over
young man. In the north of Ireland the
young ladies signed pledge that they
would not marry young man thatdrank
A young woman has the same right to de-
mand that honor, virtue and sobriety
from q young man that a young man de-
mands of young woman.
I said this afternoon that thought the
world was better than it ever Was You
hear some old men say, the young men
are not what they were in my day. Thank
God that they are not There is more
power, more weight of intellect in the
young men Of the country than there ever
was before. So I stand by the young
men of this country and I want them to
stand by me. Young man, If you love
your mother, If You hate that which will
tear her heart strings asunder, leave this

OVER THE EMBANKMENT.

The Engine and Baggage Car OF the Titus
Vile Express Wrecked at Foster, on
the Valley Road-Five Trainmen Are
Seriously Irj jared.
About 6 o'clock last night the Titusville
express, running between Pittsburg and
Titusville, over the Allegheny Valley
Railroad, was wrecked at Foster, 16 miles
below Oil City. Engineer A. F..
Reed, of Oakmont, and Fireman
Harry Shearer, of the same town. were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured. Bag
gage Master o. j. Madden, of Oil City, had
his meek hurt; Express Messenger James
Metz, Of Allegheny, both legs broken, and
Mail Agent Peter Yeany, of New Bethle-
hem, back injured; but they will all re-
cover.
The upper end of the road was visited by
severe storms all day yesterday and much
trouble was experienced in running trains.
The Titusville express left the Union depot
at 1:30 yesterday afternoon. Its trip
was safe until it reached the upper
end Of the line. When nearly to Foster the
train ran into deep washour. The engine
and baggage car were derailed. The balance
of the train stayed on the track. The en-
gineer and fireman received injuries
that will likely cause their death.
The engine and baggage cars were
rolled down steep embankment
into the Allegheny river The engine was
buried deep into the river, and the cars
were piled high on top of it. The track tor
200 feet was torn up, and trains were de-
layed several hours
A relief train was sent out from Oil City,
and the injured and passengers were taken
into the city.

car companies, but we will continue our
crusade to those people who attend church
in carriages We are in dead earnest in
this matter, and we intend to enforce the
law only where it will appear the most
obnoxious and disagreeable, and will create
the most inconvenience and confusion.
Our idea in this is to get at the people who
are most likely to have force and bearing In
securing the repeal of the laws that un-
Justly and unreasonably oppress them, and
while we will be condemned on one side we
will be applauded on the other until we Sc
cure Just what we want-a repeal of the Blue
Laws and the substitution OF a law that Will

any reasonable churchman, and yet keep in

At police headquarters it was reported
yesterday that the effort of Druggist Espy
to keep open his soda water fountain on
Sunday was part of the plan of the new or
ganization. At the risk of arrest the foun-
tains were opened last Sunday, and thou
sands of people were served with harmless
refreshments The arrest followed, and the
people who were refreshed at the soda
fountains last Sunday must go to the river
for liquid refreshments This, it is claimed,
was intended as forcible argument in
favor of repeating the laws that closes the
soda fountains on Sunday.

Loss ON Pittsburg Plate Glass Works Not So
Large as First Reported
Late dispatches from Creighton state that
the loss upon the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Works. located at that place, is not $50, 900,
as was first reported, but the entire damage
will not exceed $4,000. The fire started
early yesterday morning in the mixing de-
partment and was caused by an explosion of
chemicals. The building in which the
flames originated was quickly destroyed,
and from there the fire made its way to the
pothouse, which, with its 3C0 pots, was also
entirely consumed. Alongside of the last
structure stood the carpenter shop. This,
like the other two buildings was reduced to
ashes.
The conflagration lasted about one hour
and was fought with steam from IL
boilers and with water from the company's
tanks. The fire department. from Tarentum
which was sent for also rendered excellent
service. The ruined property covered
half acre and were the buildings where all
the materials and appliances for the factory
were made. The destruction of these will
necessitate the closing down of the works
for at least one month and will temporarily
throw 200 men out OF work. Factory No.
1 is separated from the ruined carpenter
shop.by a narrow alley, which, if the fire
had crossed, would have destroyed over
$500, 900 worth of stock. The Pittsburg
Plate Glass Works are owned by j. B. Ford
& Co. They will rebuild the burned
structures at once The loss is fully COW

Tho Allegheny Public Safety Committee
Passes Novel Motion.
During the regular session last night of
the Allegheny Committee on Public Safety,
the ordinance relating to dog. licenses was
considered, and after brief discussion was
approved. Tramp" the 2o.year-old dog
connected with the city police department
was present at the meeting, and Mr.. H. G.
Robinson, one of the committeeman, moved
that 'Tramp" be granted free license,
which was passed by an unanimous vote.
Immediately following this Mr. j. G. Horne
arose and said as TRAMP" was present he
would be allowed to make any statement he
wished touching upon the subject. While
Mr.. Horne was speaking the dog lay upon
the rostrum asleep, but when the speaker
became seated, as If an answer to the re-
marks, Tramp" stood up, wagged his tail
and then silently left the room.
The committee also approved the follow
ing bills for expenses incurred during the
past month: Health, 81, ,4S5 81; police bills,
$9,346 81; police pay roll, S., s22 Al; fire
bills, 81. 1896 40; fire pay roll, 81, ,2O3 6s gen.
eral Office expenses, 1881 20 and bills and
pay rolls for the Bureau OF Electricity

proposals for lots to be used for the erection
of new engine houses was deferred to be
considered more thoroughly at a special
meeting to be called sometime next week.
The committee in addition to transacting
the above business, acted upon a number Of
petitions for the erection of new buildings.
