SYNOD OF PENNSYLVANIA
Opens at Parkersburg, w. Va, on
Monday, Oct. 2O-It Will Be an
Interesting and Important
Meeting.

The Pennsylvania Synod Of Pennsyl-
vania will open in the Presbyterian
church of Parl<ersburg, W. Va, oct.
20, at II a. m. This synod is composed
of all the prcsbytcries in the state of
Pennsylvania. with n few located in
Mexico, West Virginia and Western
Africa. There are twenty-five presby-
terios in all. Ia these there are 1.13i
ministers, 113 licontiatcs, IL local evan
gelists, 1876 candidates. 1,1S6 churches,
with an aggregate membership of 2l1,-
600.
1t is one of the most important syn
DDS in the denomination and carries on
its rolls the names Of some of the most
distinguished ministers in the United
States.
The opening sermon will he delivered
by Rev. William Laurie, d. D., LII. D.,
pastor of the Bellefontc church. Great
interest is taken in the election of a
moderator to succeed DR.. Laurie. A
prominent candidate will be Rev
George w. Chalfant, D. d., pastor of
the Park Avenue church. of Pittsburg
DR.. Chalfant. with his wife, have been
spending several months in China,
where they visited the mission fields

tiOn
The docket Of the synod shows that
the time usually allotted to such a
meeting will be short enough in which
to conclude the business. The reports
of the boards will require special at
tention. Under its new secretaries the
board of home missions seems deter
mined to get out Of debt and keep out
of it, and at the same time prosecute
the work in a more vigorous manner
than ever before.
Other boards are arranging for in
creased activity as soon as the current
disturbances Of the country have
ceased. 1t is not apparent as yet that
the judicial committee will have much
business thrown into its lap, but it is
possible it may have work of the most
difficult kind.
The meeting will probably continue
until Monday, oct. %. Rev. Robert
Hunter, ID. D., the stated clerk. and
| Rev. J. J. Beacon, ID. D., the perma-
ncnt clerk. have the routine business
of the synod properly scheduled. and
this feature Of the work of the dele
| gates will be plain sailing.
This city will have a number of rep
! resentatives at the meeting of the
! synod.

TWICE REMARKED.
Lawyer Nowak's Unique Experience
with His Two Wives.

From the Cleveland Recorder.
Joseph NJ. NOwak, of this city, is in
training for the wedding, divorce and
remarriaSe championship of the state
of Ohio. Wednesday he and his new
bride returned from their second
honeymoon. The bride was Mrs.
Bertha Nowak. who has not been Mr..
Nowak's wife before for nearly a year
and a half, they having been divorced
in 1896. The groom is a well-known
lawyer in Cleveland and while this wife
is domestic i'm her tastes, she has many
friends here, though she has been liv-
ing in st. Louis since the last time she
was her husbands wife.
Mr.. Nowak's claims to the wedding
and divorce championship are incon-
trovertible. He is AZ years of age and
has had two first marriages, three di-
vorces, two remarriages and has ac-
cumulated all told, four children. He
has lived for years at 1912 Broadway,
in what is probably the handsomest
residence on that long thoroughfare.
He is one of the best known Bohem-
ian residents of the city, and twenty
years ago he married for the first time
one of the prettlest girls of that neigh
borhood, whose father was one of the
solid Bohemian citizens Of Broadway.
The first marriage lasted about ten
years, and a son, now about entering
manhood was born to them. About
ten years ago a young seamstress ac-
quired acquaintance with the Nowak
family, and not long after that the
Nowaks We're divorced. Mr. Nowak
then married the seamstress and in
stalled her in the Broadway residence.
For eight years they lived happily, and
three children were born to them. The
divorce instinct, however, was too
strong for the hero Of this tale to with
stand, and in 1895 Mr.. Nowak obtained
his second divorce. Only one month
later Mr.. Nowak again met his first
wife. The old affection revived. Dulcet
words were exchanged, and after lit
tie consideration they went down to
Pittsburg and were remarked. This
marriage lasted about a year, but last
winter Mrs. Nowak took hand at the
divorce mill. and got a separation on
the ground Of cruelty. Now comes the
sequel I'm the marriage OF Mr.. Nowak
with his 81 wife, the seamstress.

passenger coaches June l, 1898, making
it necessary for passengers to show

that passengers boarded right trains,

it was expected to do. Passenger rev.

travel, was greatly increased. There

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-05-12

The Rome correspondent OF The Times
pends by mail long dispatch which the
censor had refused to allow to be trans
mitted by wire, practically confirming
the terrible nature Of the rioting at
Milan and elsewhere. The correspon-
dent explains that the bread issue is
mere pretext for an insurrection pre-
pared before hand by associations OF
navvies and railway employees, in which
a strong socialist and Republican leaven
has long been working. He says: BE
side many other proofs OF this state
ment, IL will suffice TO say that the riot
ing Is confined to the richest districts In
the country. Another strong political
motive underlying the movement is the
well-known desire OF the vatican and the
clericals to foment disorders. hoping
thereby to overthrow the house of Savoy
in favor Of republic which might pave
the way to a restoration of the temporal
power OF the pope"
The Daily News, I'm its comment this
morning on the situation in Italy, says:
I'VE wish we could believe the whole
of italy tranquil. Our correspondents
are unable to get their messages
through: and. IL everything Is so tran
quill. II is strange that the Italian gov
ernment should close up all the channels
whereby such welcome news might
snread"

CONGRESSIONAL.

Senator'S Discuss the Bill For Arbitrat-
ing Disputes of Railroad Employees.
Washington. May 12.-After the read
ing of the arbitration bill In the senate
Mr. Allen discussed 1t. He regarded 1t
in its effects as one OF the most vicious
measures ever brought before congress.
He declared that II bound railroad en-
ployes hand and foot and made them
the bond servants OF the railroad cor
porations. He said that as he had been
flooded with kilograms from labor or
ganizations urging him TO support It, he
would do his best to amend IL, and would
then probably vote for 1t. He thought.
however, that the. employees were being
led into trap in urging the passage OF
the bill.
Mr.. Fairbanks thought the bill bore on
its face an honest purpose, and IL there
were any dark designs I'm the bill he
would be glad to have Mr.. Allen indi-
cate in whose interest II had been drawn.
Mr.. Allen replied that he thought Mr..
Fairbanks was in "a better position TO
answer the question proposed than be.
