Turned Out to be Horse Thieves.

The Young men who were arrested in fancy
town district on Thursday of last week, one
of whom was shot in the knee, as told in the
ADVOCATE last Saturday, have been proven
to be horse thieves The horse and wagon
they had they stole from Charles Schaefer,
who lives in Dauphin county. Pa, above
Harrisburg
Mr. Schaeffer heard of the arrest of the
young men, and came here on Monday He
not only identified the horse and wagon, but
also knew the men. Eldrish now gives his
name as Frederick Hook. and Holmes calls
himself Samuel Wallwiek. Hooks home is
IN Philadelphia, and Wallwiek is an English
man.
Several years ago Mr. Schaeffers father
found Hook in Harrisburg, and took him home
with him. The youth worked WE'LL and came
back to work the following fall. This year,
on Tuesday of last week, Hook and Wall
wick went to Charles Schaeffers and helped
to haul in corn. At night they stole Mr..
Schaeffer's horse and wagon.
The young men will be tried here for resist
ing arrest, and after they have paid the penalty
they will probably be claimed by Pennsyl-
vania authorities to answer the charge OF
horse stealing.

organ in the services in the audience room of
the church. The occasion brought out u
goodly number TO see and hear the services.

morning. He delivered an able address on
the subject of ''Music.' The evening exer-
cises consisted of addresses and a song SER
vice, by the choir aided by Miss Ida Difien-
baugh, of Westminster. Miss Diffenbangh
sang several beautiful solos, which were highly
appreciated by the audience, and she has
made many friends in our place. We are
always pleased greatly when she appears
amongst us, as she always comes fully equipped
to aid in the church exercises no matter of
what character they may be. Little Gorinne
Hollenberry sang. ''Let Little Sunshine
In which seemed 10 electrify the audience,
on account of her extreme youth. Mr. Grant
Heltibridle sang solo which was very much
appreciated; and last but not the least the col

organ and it will remain in the room to aid
the singers at all times hereafter.

Synod of Lutheran Church. comprising
Frederick and Carroll counties, commenced
its session n the Grace Lutheran Church, of
Westminster, on Tuesday.
Rev. ]. u Asper, the retiring president,
preached the conference sermon.
Rev. J. H. Turner, of LutherviIle, was
elected president; Robert L. Patterson. of
Union Bridge, secretary, and nev. p. II.
Miller, of Westminster, treasurer.

1.-THE Sacred Nature of the Vow of Church
Membership ''The Scriptural Doctrine of
Absolution" and THE Mid-Week Prayer
Meeting" Rev. Messrs. Turner, Kuhlman,
Patterson, Burke, Karl, Beard, Garland,
Baughman and others took part in the dis
cussions. The subject ofthe Midweek Prayer
Meeting was further discussed ri night. 1t
was the overwhelming sentiment of the con-
ference that the mid-week prayer meeting is
a most important service, aud should be held
in every church in which it Is practicable.
WEDNESDAYS SESSION.
The subject of EMISSIONS: The Present
Crisis and Our Call to Meet 1t, = was eonsid
cred by Rev. Luther Kuhlman and Rev. S.
A. Dieh. The crisis referred to is shortage
in contributions to the missionary funds, con
sequent upon the stringency of the times for
seNeTul years past anu tHe duuIessSS VI
Messrs. kuhlman and Diehl were followed by
spirited discussion, involving the salaries
paid to missionaries and other pertinent mat
tiers.
A rather acrid debate was precipitated By
the introduction of resolution on temper
anes by Rev. r. S. Patterson. The first part
of the resolution required every minister of
the conference to make the signing by a church
member of recommendation for the grant
ing of license to sell liquor matter of discip
line. The entire conference seemed to be in
accord with this portion of the resolution,
but it was accompanied by another, which
though guardedly worded, was construed as
laying upon the ministers of the conference
not only the obligation to vote the Prohibition
ticket, but upon church members also. An
appeal was made for a separate vote on ques-
tions contained in the resolution, but Mr..
Patterson insisted on their going together,
and they were defeated. The conference adj
journed at noon, to meet in May next at
