WREDEN'S DIAMOND.
He Escaped a Cutting, but Lost a
Valuable Stone.

While H. Nj. Wreden, manager of the
Washington Brewery. was being con-
graduated by his friends yesterday on his
escape from what might have bren nasty
knife wound, he was bewailng the loss of
a valuable diamond.
According &c his story Henry Sethman'
attempted to borrow money from him and
which jacob Rein, watchma". was
severely cut. Rrhn, it seems, interposed
between the two mpn and unwitt ngiy re-
ceived the W und intended for his en-
ployer. Wreden closed with Sethmau to
dsarm him and in the scuffir which en-
sued says he lost his diamond stud valued
at S175 and for the recovery OF which he
has otfared reward of $50.
The knife which did the cutting was not
found on Sethman. and yesterday the
ground about the cable track near the
corner OF Chestnut street and Mon gnmery
avenue was closely scrutinized by search
ers for the two missing objects
Jacob REIN. the wounded Waterman,
was attended to at the Receiving Hos pital,
and a very deep slash in the shoulder was
discovered. The victim of the attack Is an
old man and his injury may prove fatal.
Sethman denies knowing anything about
the cutting. A charge of assault to murder
was placed against him, but it ia thought
that the precarious condition of Rein will
cause a continuance of his case for Que
week.
Sethman has had financial transactions
with Wreden before. He is said to have
failed in business and wanted Wreden to
lend him a large sum of m oney to set him
up in business again.

A CHURCH'S GROWTH.
New Brick Building for the Swedish
Mission


Mission.
The last service was held last night in
the building which the Swedish Mission
Church has occupied for about seven years.
1t is on Jessie street. between Sixth and
Seventh. This church is similar in its
views and aims to the Congregational.
Every seat last night was taken and chairs
were put in the aisles. Nearly 800 people
were present.
There was an extra praise service in
addition to the usual one. Men and
women OF the congregation arose and told
of the growth of this church, each prais-
ing God in conclusion for the favors he had
shown this flock. The church began here
sixteen years ago with ten members. who
rented a little hall on New Montgomery
street. Use OF the SuDday-school room of the
Church of the Advent was obtained when
the membership had increased consider
ably. The congregation kept growing
larger. and seven years ago the church
building on Jessie street was purchased.
II was enlarged to years ago, twenty-five
feet being added two its length. Room fer
175 more seats was thus made.
The congregation is still receiving addi-
tions. and recently 1t was decided to tear
down the WOO den structure and erect in
its place one of brick, with capacity of
seating 1000 people
1t i. thought that fully that number
will attend this church before many years
pass. The brick building will cost about
$4,000, Ut including the cost OF furnish
ing. The site is 5Ox75 feet 10 dimensions.
Instead OF pews this church has COM
Portable opera-chairs with footrests. The
pastor is Rev. o. Anderson. While the
building operations are going on the

charging 80 cents for the round trip. They
had Gordon of men in regulation uniform

streets down Market and along East to the
extension of the pier. Both boats did a
large business every trip.
The tugs Ida w and Katie ONeil also
ran excursions, but the battalion steamers
received by far the larger patronage, so
