NEW CHURCH OF THE COVENANT.
Observance OF the Transfer OF the Noyes
Tablet and the Old Corner Stone.

Observance OF the Transfer OF the Noyes
Tablet and the Old Corner Stone.
Services were held In tho new Church of the
Covenant in Fast Forty second street yesterday
evening commemorating the transfer of tho
William Curtis Soyes memorial tablet Faith "
and the original corner stone Of tho Church OF
the Covenant from Thirty fifth street and Park
avenue. The memorial tablet was presented to
the church by Mr.. Noyess family and stood in
the old church from 1868 until the building was
torn down. 1t is a bas relief replica Of q tablet
set up in 1858 in Mr.. Noyess house. 1t was un-
yeiled last night by Mr.. Noyes's daughters, Mrs,
Whitehead and Mrs. vandsrpoel.
The pastor of the church, the Rev. George 8.
Webster, gave a brief review of Mr.. Soyes's
life, speaking especially OF his withdrawal of
his name a candidate for the United States
Senate In 1858, when he learned at Albany
that money would be necessary TO obtain the
nomination. He came home. Mr.. Webster said,
shocked by the impression this knowledge made
upon his mind.
There were letters read from the former pas
tors OF the church, the Rev. George l.. Prentiss.
who oflciated from the church's organization
in 1862 until 1873, and who was present last
night but unable to speak. and the Rev. Marvin
X. Vincent, 1873 until 1888. The Rev. James
ii. Mclllvaine, who succeeded Mr.. Vincent. and
who is now associated with Dr. Van Dyke at the
Brick Church, spoke briefly. The service con-
cluded with the singing OF hymn composed by
Elizabeth Prentiss, wife OF the first pastor, for
the laying Of the corner stone on Nov. 8, 1858.

He was simply charged with being suspicious

he was supposed TO be guilty.
Roberts is the son of a carpenter who lives At

They've Beea stsaIiag Lead from the 0ss-
ters on the Roof Around the Turrets.
ALBANY. Dec. 16.-New York State Is being
robbedl This Is . startling announcement, but
It is nevertheless fact. 1t is not State officer.
nor ore OF the employees OF any State office who
has been dishonest. The Treasury has not been
depleted. There has been no discrepancy found
in the accounts OF the numerous employees of
the State and no fraud on the part OF any OF the
office holders has been brought TO light. But
the undeniable fact still remains tnat the State
has been robbed, and although watchmen have
been on the outlook. they have been unable 70
discover the thief.
The fact that the State was being robbed
came accidentally 10 the ears OF THE Sun corre-
spondent, who investigated IL and found that it
is true. The Capitol building itself is where the
thieves have worked. but the base OF operations
is very high up-even As high as the Capitol's
roof. Every one who knows anything about the
Capitol OF has ever seen IL, or = picture Of IL.
knows that on each corner OF the building there
Is a large tuTret and that wooden structure
covers the place in the centre where II il hoped
some day will rise the dome or great
cupolA Around these tuTrets are large cutters,
and they are inlaid with lead. For come time
thieves have been working at this lead, and
quantities OF IL nave been chiseled ana torn
from the turret CUTTERS and carried away II Is
pretty desperate piece Of work for thief 70
do 10 go upon the high roof OF the capitol and
chop ont lead. and then either throw II 10 the
street or carry IL through the CRUltul corridors.
Orderlies and watchInen are On duty ln the
building at night, and they are supposed 10 be
awake IL II not the loss OF the lead that Is
b0thering the officials, but the thought that II
there may be systematic thieyiDg going on inside
the building.

RoULErTE, Pa, Dec. l6.-For many years An
son Maxwell lived in house which he built on
land In Ceres, this county, which he supposed
belonged TO him. Charles Smith recently dis
covered that the land was his instead OF Max
wells. and he notified Maxwell that he would
have 10 vacate the house. Finding that by law
he would be compelled to abandon the home he
had built and give the house TO Smith,
Maxwell was seized with an idea. He didn't
move out OF the house. The other night
he got some neiRhbOrs together, and when
Smith went TO take possession OF the Max
well house next day he found that the
house itself had been moved. IL hadn't
been moved far-only ten feet But that
ten feet took Il ont OF Potter county, Pa. into

This she invested in little shop In Allen street.
which she gave to Nacht. He ran II for while.
