CORNER STONE LAYING.-There was
a hitch 10 the corner stone laying of the
Third Baptist Church (%colored), corner
of Patrick and Princes streets, yester-
day. 1t had been announced that the
colored Odd Fellows of this city would
perform the ceremonies, but that order
refused to carry out the programme ON
the ground that Harmony and Lancas-
ter Lodges had laid the stone some
years ago. The church people then
appealed to the Masons, but they re-
fused to act on the ground that they
could not engage in such work on Sun
day. Parker Lodge of Odd Fellows
was next importuned, and they carried
out the wishes of the congregation. A
large crowd of colored people had as
sembled to witness the ceremonies.
The church, it will be remembered,
war destroyed by the storm last Sep
