AFTER YEARS OF WORSHIP.
OLD SWEDES ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATED WITH IMPRESSIVE
SERVICES YESTERDAY.

The 1S9th anniversary of the dedica-
tion of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes)
Protestant Episcopal Church, Whining
ton. was celebrated yesterday with spe-
cial services.
In the morning at o'clock there was
the celebration of the holy communion
by the rector, Rev. Martin b. Dunlap.
At 1890 o'clock services were dis
pensed with in Trinity Church, on
Delaware avenue, so the congregation
could attend the mother church, and a
special sermon was preached by Rev.
Edward S. Dec. Tomkins. of New
York.
DR.. Tomkins chose as his text
Psalms. cviii., 1: 20 God my heart is
fixed. 1 will sing and give praise, even
with my glory"
In concluding his polished discourse,
the preacher said: THE ears Of men
were longing for some sound, and this
ancient parish was ringing out in no
uncertain sounds. Perhaps only one
tone grown into a chord growing
sweeter and fuller. If we want TO
know how that harmony has increased
we look around and find a few feeble
sounds 1879 years ago. Now every city
has its noble instruments; it's full
chords and minor tones; till we have
seventy-seven dioceses; 4,729 clergy
and Gal ,951 communicates, all parts of
this grand hymn of praise. Is it not,
my friends, a glorious thing to start
such a wonderful harmony? Just as the
best music is produced by the musician
who best understands his art and gives
himself absolutely to his leader, so our
lives will be made more harmonious if
we give ourselves to the great Leader
confident that He will make music
from the discordant notes. If we have
done our duty and added the smallest
sound to this grand chorus it shall
ring for endless ages in one great
hymn of praise"
In the afternoon the children's fes-
tival service was held, and last even
ing Archdeacon George c. Hall, of VIII
mington, preached, and Dr. Tomkins
conducted the services at Trinity
Church.
The first foundation stone of the his
toric church was laid on Saturday
May IS, 1893, according to the church
records, and the building was conse-
Grated on Trinity Sunday. June 4, 1899
The fund for renOvating the old
church. in which former Ambassador
Bayard has taken an important part is
growing slowly, but in the near future
big effort will be made to increase
it so that enough will be secured to
| permit some much needed work in the
interior before the 200th anniversary
celebration.

HIS FIRST MASS.
FATHER M'vEIGH OFFICIATES AT
ST. MARY's AND ST. PATRICK'S
CHITRCHFS

a HEIR NJ ElNlit1 OfHlGAAl f-o Al
ST. MARY's AND ST. PATRICK'S
CHURCHES.
st. NIary's R. c. Church, at Sixth and
Pine streets, was crowded yesterday to
its utmost capacity to hear the first,
or 'hearth-stone mass" of the newly
ordained priest, Rev. Edward A. Nc
Weigh.
The occasion was one Of great inn
pressiveness. The young priest is to
the manor born a st. Mary's boy. He
carried himself remarkably well, chant
ing the mass in a low-measured tone
while many an aged Catholic bent for
ward to mingle his prayers with these
of the young levite Offering up
the holy sacrifice for the first time
after years of study and training.
Right Rev. Bishop Monaghan occu-
pied a seat on the left or gospel side of
the altar. and was attended by Rev.
Fathers Kelley and Donaghy as dea
cons of honor.
The officers of the mass were Rev
Faeher McVeigh, celebrant: Rev. Dr.
Temple of New York. deacon; Rev
James Hartnett, sub-deacon; master of
cermonies, James McKenna.
Rev. DR.. Temple preached the SER
mon. He spoke the Dignity of the
Catholic Priesthood. and referred tothe
young priest vested forthe first time in
the robes of sacrifice amidst those near
and dear to him. Nature revelled. in a
! perfect day, rare with the perfume Of
flowers and joyous with the warbling
of birds, auspiciOus then became the
Young levite's advent. Each meridian
of longitude against the sun In its first
rising can be found somewhere on the
| globe Offering up the clean oblaticn as
a priest according to the order of Mel
chisedec. and OF this sacrifice of which
! these hands have been cOnsecrated to
perform.
The winds sweeping over the ripen-
ing grain to eddy and toss in wanton
play will ultimately become the bread
of the sacrifice, and the bright sunshine
purpling the cheeks of the yielding
grape becomes the blood of the chalice
and far out upon the pure unviOlated
ocean the vapor is lifted up and de-
scends in gentle rain only TO become
the water Of oblation. These elements
are against all forms of reasoning, al
satisfying explanations to be as the
blessed Redeemer promulgated: "Thi!
is my body this is my blood"
The music of the mass was especially
fine. and composed the entire choir
AUGMENTED by an orchestra. AT the Of
fertorv Miss Elizabeth Schawb sans
Gounod's "Ave Maria" With violin &C
compartment. The "Agnus Dei' of th'
, mass was probably the best ever hear'
in the church.
Father McVeigh officiated at vesper
at St. Patrick's r. c. Church last night
He was assisted by Revs. ]. ID. Care.
and Joseph A. Flynn. Bishop Mona
S CHAN was present and confirmed a clas
of sixty persons.

FIRE AT CHICAGO.
Dock Warehouse of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad Burned.

CHICAGO, July S.-The dock ware
house of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road Company, extending from Van
Buren to Harrison streets, on the west
bank of the river, burned this morning.
Besides the warehouse, which was
stored with merchandise, about forty
loaded freight cars were also consumed.
The loss is estimated at 100000 to
S250O00. The steamer Chemung of the
Buffalo and Niagra Falls route, which
was being unloaded at the docks, was
slightly damaged.
When the fire communicated to the
Chemung a large number of sailors
We're asleep in their hunks, and several
of them had narrow escapes. Watch
man Gene Sutfie of the Alton County
Company was on the scene when the
fire was first discovered. His first
thought was for the hundred or more
dock labOrerS who were known to be
sleeping in the dock house. Fastening
into the burning structure, Suite reused
for their lives. There was a panic
among the men, and some We're bruised
in escaping from the blazing structure.
Suite remained in the building so long
that his escape by the main entrance
was made impossible, and he was
was injured, but not seriously.
Sparks from a passing steamer are
supposed to have caused the fire.

The wrists of both were cut and

Both victims were we'll dressed, but
Deer was not able to get any clue to

man said they were out of work and

she cut her wrists.

MINERS STRIKE.
Almost Total Suspension of Work
Along the Monongahela.

PITTSBURG, July S.-The close of
the third day of the miners strike finds
the diggers getting strength rapidly in
the Pittsburg district. The net result
of the struggle up to date, as CLEANED
from all sources, is about as follows:
Nineteen thousand men idle, and an
almost total suspension of work in the
mines along the Monogahela River
suspension is radically total on the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, only about fifty men
working there: all the mines closed
down to-day excepting the M. A. Han
ma & Co, along the Panhandle; the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company and a few individual mines
which can have but little effect upon
the situation. The Hanna mines have
one third of their usual number of men
at work, and this slight increase over
yesterday appears to be the only ad-
vance the operators have gained.
The coming out Of the men along the
Baltimore and Ohio is a decided vic
tory for the miners, because these men
are working under an ironclad agree
ment, and by their loyalty to their
brethren forfeit $4,000 in wages which
the company holds out.
The situation as to the supply of
coal cannot be called serious as yet,
because there are from 100000 to
1900, 900 bushels of black diamonds
in stock at the various pools along
the river which can be placed in at
short notice, and, If need be, a por-
ton of it could be shipped to the lakes
Up to the present time, no sign of
has developed among the
strikers, and there is no evidence what
ever that there will be.
Tomorrow promises to be a day of
decided action on the part of the min
ers. 1t is reported that meeting has
been scheduled between President
Ratchford of the Mine Workers Asso-
citation, and President Gompers of the
Federation of Labor. in this city. It
is said that President Gompers will Of
fer to raise a fund of S60, 900 per week
to assist the strikers in their struggle.
