ings Of John Wesley, that they formed
themselves with others into Q society OF
Methodists.
At this time it was the custom of the
people to meet by appointment at each
others houses in the mornings for pray
ers, and to listen to a discourse from
come passing itinerant. 1t often hap
pened that more people assembled on
these occasions than could be accommO-
dated with house room, particularly on
Sundays and during revival seasons.
Owing to the lack OF room at private
audiences, the followers of John Wesley
felt greatly in need of more spacious &C.
commodations.
In March 1880, Phillip Barrett and
Waitman Sipple took the initiative in
erecting meeting house, the result of
which was Barratt's Chapel. The edifice
was 42x4S feet, two stories high, and had
a vestry room connected with it. There
is tradition that the bricks of which it
was built were imported from Holland,
which is highly improbable, as the clay
in the immediate vicinity is as good as
any in the world for bricks, and the art
of making bricks was already known, as
bricks had been burned at Lewes and
other places on the Peninsula many
years before this time. The house was
furnished with pulpit and occupied as
place of worship in the latter part of
the same year.
In November, 1884, DR.. Samuel
Megaw, who had been rector of St.
Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church,
hIr1o nd 1VI, Of
Bishop Asbury, Caleb B. Pedicord, 10.
seph Hartley, Rev. Cromwell and Rev.
Thomas Coke, Ill. D., met at Barratt's
Chapel and celebrated the first quarterly
meeting held there, at which one thou
sand people were estimated to have been
present. 1t was on this occasion, No
vember IA, that DR.. Coke, who preaching
the sermon Of the day, first met Francis
Asbury and concerted those measures
by which the Methodist Episcopal
Church was organized in America
which was effected at Baltimore, Md, a
few weeks later. At that meeting AS
bury was elected the first bishop in
America and was consecrated by DR..
Coke, who had been ordained the first
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church by John Wesley himself.
The old fashioned high pulpit, which
was reached by.a flight of steps and
which almost concealed the preacher
from the congregation, has been remod-
eled to suit modern ideas; but the seat
or wooden bench upon which Bishops
Coke and Asbury and other pioneers OF
the church sat, is still preserved as a
memento. For the first sixty years OF
its existence the ground was the only
flooring of the church, and the walls
were left in an uncouth and primitive
state. Yet, Notwithstanding these in.
conveniences, the early fathers and
mothers of the church in Israel never
ceased to meet here and hold divine ser
vice.
Barratt's chapel has enjoyed the minis
trations of some Of the brightest ecclesi
astical luminaries in the church, but the
most memorable epoch in its history
was the meeting Of Coke and Asbury al
the chapel the year following, and theil
own conservation to the episcopacy fol
the ordination of the Rev. Ezekie
Cooper, then twenty-five years old. Il
this trio is to be attributed whatever o
ultimate success the Methodist Episcopa
Chuch has achieved through the world

SEARCHFOR A sun SPOT
Observation in This City Shows That
the Hole in Old Soils "PhiZ"
Still LiDgers.

On Wednesday last from the observa-
tory on the top Of the residence at
Seventh and Washington streets, one of
the largest astronomical. instruments
used in this city was brought to play on
"Old Sol"
By the powerful mechanism of the in
strrment it was seen that a great sun
spot, which has for some time past been
visible, is again sailing across the suns
disc unchanged as to size and general
appearance, but considerably altered in
its internal details. Instead of one large
and fairly round dark opening, sur
rounded by the usual penumbra, as it
was depicted last month, there are now
three openings, two of which are par
TALLY "bridged." The indications are
that the spot is closing up. Following it,
at distance of two or three times its
own diameter, is group OF relatively
small spots, one of which, however, is
fairly large, and preceding it, at about
twice that distance, is another group of
small spots. The extent of the disturbed
area is about one-fourth of the diameter
OF the suns disc, or, say, about 100000
miles. The large spot is visible to the
naked eye. On Wednesday morning it
was just fairly across the suns central
meridian.
This spot was first observed ON the
third of last month, when it was seen
rounding into view at the suns eastern
limb. 1t crossed the suns central meri-
dian on the 9th OF the month. On the
evening of that day an unusually fine
auroral display was witnessed in Eng
land-perhaps elsewhere--of which a
graphic account is given in Mature for
September l5. The writer of the article
points to the fact that the great spot was
then crossing the suns meridian as
notable coincidence, and he states fur
ther that the automatic recording instru-
ment for magnetic declination in the
Physics Department at South Kensington
showed large disturbance on the same
evening. A conspicuous magnetic storm
was also recorded at Kew while the
aurora was in progress. All of which is
of the view of those sum
spot observers who hold that it is when
the spots are on the SUMS meridian that
auroras and magnetic storms are the most
likely to occur.
Other observers, maintain, however,
that the critical time is when the spots
are just rounding into view at the suns
eastern limb, and they, too, can point to
this spot in confirmation of their belief.
This writer goes on to state that "a very
bright aurora was recorded by several
observers on the previous Friday even
ing, September 2, on which night the
spot would be coming around the eastern
limb and magnetic disturbances were
photographed on that evening also" So
there we are, no wiser than before.

The Franklin Guards. Scattered Over Il

The Franklin Guards, Scattered Over a
Distance Of Ten Miles-Ready Within
Four Hours.
A correspondent of the Louisburg
Times pays deservedly high compliment
to the Franklin Guards, their prompt
ness in being ready to go to Whining
ton on the occasion Of the recent riot and
says:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
members Of the Franklin Guard are scat
tered over district with about n ten
mile radius, Captain McGhee had as
sembled the entire company, sixty strong,
fully equipped, on the cars and ready to
move within four hours from the receipt
of first orders. This certainly speaks
we'll for the thorough discipline and
quick action of the Franklin Guard. Ii
is doubtful if any other company in the
State. similarly situated could have re-
sponded with such unanimity. The peo-
pie of the county should feel proud Of
the company. 1t is considered hy high
officials of the State Guard one of the
very best companies in the Guard. 1t
has been inspected four times by the
Inspector General and has obtained a
score of 100 per cent each time. Its
captain, w. l.. McGhee, is kind and
polite to the men, but at the same time
he is very strict and requires I'LL orders
to be obeyed, and each man to perform
his duties WELL Indeed, Captain Nc
Ghee is an ideal captain, and all the
members give him cheerful support in
maintaining the company.

JOHNSON SCHOOL HOUSE FIRED.
Two Attempts in the Past Two Days
Damage Slight

1t appears that in the past two days
attempts have been made to burn the
Johnson (colored) school house. This
opinion is shared by the teachers of the
school and the fire department. Suspi-
cion rests upon one of the pupils as the
guilty party
Yesterday the building was discovered
on fire and the fire alarm sent in from
Box 81. The fire department responded
promptly and extinguished the flames in
short order The damage was slight.
This was the second attempt as the
building was discovered ON fire the day
previous, but in time to eXtinguish the
flames without sending in the fire alarm
The fires originated in the rubbish be-
meath the building and everything points
clearly to the work of an incendiary.
The school is near the st. Paul n. NJ.
f church and but for the prompt work
of the fire department great damage
might have followed, as the houses are
very thick in this locality.
