THE BAPTIST REVIVAL.
One of the Most interesting Meetings OF
the Series Last Night.

One of the Most Interesting Meetings of
the Series Last Night.
BY far the most impressive and fruit
full meeting in the whole series occurred
last night in the First Baptist Church.
In spite of the fact that all of the other
churches were open and in the face of a
fierce and cutting wind, great congre-
cation came together, and from the be-
ginning the most solemn interest pre-
vailed. DR.. Hatcher's subject was:
"The Wisdom of Choosing Salvation"
In the aftel meeting seventeen persons
accepted the invitation to come forward
and talk with the ministers, many of
whom protested confession. Besides
these, many unconverted persons re-
manned to the after meeting. The
interest in the meeting is evidently
growing, and the outlook gives promise
of great revival

opened the door in answer to the ring,
Ward sprang into his fathers arms and

did SO, he then told Close his story. He
said man had brought him up to tho
house on his back and had told him to
so and knock on Closes door. The man
then ran away. Mr.. Close had heard OF

men about o'clock Monday afternoon
as he was playing near tho school house.

and as soon as they wero out of sight of
the schoolhouses the mon told him
roughly he must go with thcm, and
picked him up and started into the

DESPERATE STRIKERS
Try to Put New Employees Ont Of the Way
With Dynamite.

P1rrsBURG, Pa, Feb. 3.-TSpecial|-
Tho Woods Run car, OF the Manchester
line, having on board thirteen OF the,
new employees of othe company, was.
wrecked on Beaver avenue at 4:5o this
morning by an explosion OF q dynamite
cartridge which had been placed on the
tracks. The explosion occurred as the
car was passing the Manchester loco
motive works, and though the concus-
sion was SO severe that the car was
thrown from the track and badly
wrecked, and the windows shattered in
all of the houses on the side of tho street
nearest tho track. not one person was
seriously hurt.
There is no doubt that tho intention
was to kill tho new men. Some days
ago threats were made and some OF tho
striking employees say they have beon
invited to participate in tho dynamite
plot, but the strikers and their friends
have been quiet for several days and it
was thought they had abandoned the
fight and that all tho trouble was over.

question he left the gas burning. Of
hcer Freeman added valuable link to
the chain of evidence last night. He
said that on the night before the fire he
was standing opposite Laskey's store
when he heard someone trying to get
into tho front door.
lie walked over and asked the man
what he was doing there. The latter
replied that he belonged there and was
trying to get il to the store but some
thing seemed to be the matter with his
key. He said he would try the side
door and walked around to it, followed
by the officer. When the door was
reached the man took out q key and
opened 1t without any difficulty and
went inside.
Freeman is unable to state whether
the man was white or colored, as it was
very dark in front of the store. Mr..
Smith asked Laskey if he was sure that
this door had been bolted and barred
Monday night, and tho latter replied
that he was. He also said that when
he came to the store Tuesday morning
the bolt and bar were still in position.
OF course it would be impossible for
anyone to open door that was as
securely fastened as Laskey says this
one was with just key. The bolt and
bar would have to be removed from the
inside before this could be done. Ifthe
party who went into the building on
that night can be found it is quite prob
able he could throw some light on this
subject.
Laskey will probably have prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice Howerton
Friday afternoon if the prosecution can
get ready by that time.
