MEMORIAL SERVICES,


iamin Blewitt and Mrs. Caleb Barton,
two of the prominent members of the
Methodist Episcopal church the ser
vices last Sunday morning were in
honor of their memory. Rev. Con.
ner said among things that " Mrs.
Barton was worthy of being classed
among the heroes. She was a
woman of retiring disposition, but Of
strong convictions. and one of the
first to organize Methodism in Blooms.
burg, and undoubtedly had met with
much opposition, but Notwithstanding
this, she persevered and the result is
the large fourishing congregation now
in the Town. She was hopeful, full
of courage, happy and cheerful, and
by means of these traits of character
won and held many friends"
Mr.. Blewitt he stated was a man of
great faith. He never questioned his
salvation. He worked, prayed, and
talked with men in regard to their
salvation, and had faith that God
would answer his prayers.
He was great worker for the
Lord, working in, and out of season.
Some people are very energetic on
certain occasions. Such as revivals
&c, but during the rest of the year do
nothing. Mr.. Blewitt was not that
kind of man. He worked all the
time, and under all circumstances.
Midst all his sufferings he had great
patience, never murmered nor com
planned. These people endeared
themselves to the community by their
sincerity, consistency, conscientious
ness and consecrated lives.
They endeavored to live one day
like another. People respected them
because they respected their con.
science. They were consecrated. l
would rather be like them, than to
have extraordinary gifts of intellectual
endowment, riches or fill the highest
Office in the land. We can't all be
rich, and intellectual and fill high
positions but, we can all be like them,
and pray that their mantle may fall
npon us"
Mr.. Conner then stated that any
of the congregation who had any re-
marks to make would be at liberty to
do so. l. w. Hartman, said he had
known Mrs, Barton for 62 years, and
had first been attracted to her when a
boy of 8 years of age by her modest
and unassuming character. She was
a regular attendant at class meetings,
and great worker at revivals. He
was present when Mr.. Blewitt was
converted, and that he was glorious
man, and hoped that his mantle would
fall upon him."
G. w. Corell said," he had known
Mrs. Barton AZ years, and had the
greatest respect for her, and great
faith in her religion. Mr.. Blewitt had
joined his class at the time of his con
version.
+. b. Hartman said that 20 years
ago he worked in blacksmith shop
and sharpened tools for the miners,
and would never forget the good
counsel he received from Mr.. Blewitt.
He would talk with the men at noon
in regard to their souls and they all
respected and loved him.
Remarks of a similar character were
made by l.. T. Sharpless, w. B. Cum
mings, George Enterline and James
c. Brown. 1t was a service lo1g tc
be remembered.

Lawyers Spend n Day Wrangling over IN
important Features.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 6.-The days
events in the trial Of Theodore Durant
were dry and uninteresting. All the
morning and most Of the afternoon ses-
sions were devoted TO a description Of tho
diagrams Of Emanuel church, introduced
as exhibits by both sides. Both prosecu-
tion and defense had had drawings Of the
interior of the church made to show the
exact spot whore Blanche Lamont was
murdered. Each attorney wished his
drawing only to DO introduced, and the
greater part Of the day was spent in
wrangling over the respective merits.
The only witnesses examined were the
craftsmen who prepared the diagrams.
Detective Gibson had been told by tho
district attorney that he would be called
at the commencement Of tho afternoon
session, but when that time arrived the
craftsmen for the defense were called and
minutely examined as to the diagram.
As tho taking Of testimony proceeds in
terest in the trial continues. People seem
hungry for details, and even unimportant
statements by witnesses are eagerly listen
cd to by those fortunate enough to obtain
admission to the courtroom.
