TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Stephen Mabey, of Green Ridge, At
tempts Murder and Then Gives
Himself UP,

Stephen Mabey, who lives at the cor
ner of Green Ridge street and Dick
son avenue, Saturday afternoon at
tempted to shoot his wife. 1t seems
that the couple were making prepara-
tions to move to the South Side, and
in the midst of them Mabey suddenly
drew a revolver and shot his wife. She
sprang through a window out onto an
adjoining roof and there yelled, MUIR
der"
Mabey nonchalantly went down
stairs, summoned DR.. Neild to attend
to his wife, and then walked to the
Central police station and gave himself
up.
The woman was not seriously in
jured, the bullet of the 22-calibre re-
volver simply passing through the
fleshy part of her left leg, just above
the knee.
Mabey and his wife We're married
fifteen years ago in Wilkes Barre, and
came here seven years ago. Mabey
first kept hotel at the corner of Main
avenue and Lafayette street, and aft
erwards served as bartender in differ
ent hotels, the last position of the sort
being at the Conway hotel, opposite
the Erie and Wyoming station. Last
week he assisted his brother, George
Mabey, proprietor of the Bristol house,
Providence.
The couple were far from a happy
one, Mabey being Jealous of his wife,
1t is alleged, and having frequently
beaten her, Mrs, Mahey stated that
he had illtreated her, anu that not long
ago they separated, but rejoined. They
have four children. boy of IA being
the oldest. After the shooting George
Mabey came to the house and removed
the injured woman to the home of her
mother. 1t is believed by Mabey's re-
latives that he is insane, and they will
try to place him in an asylum.
The general opinion at police head
quarters is that Mabey is a little out
of his mind All Saturday night he
prayed loud and long in a manner far
from sane, and his general actions de-
note at least that he Is slightly de-
manted

They Were Preached in the Adams
Avenue Chapel.

The Rev. James Hughes preached
yesterday morning in the Adams ave-
nue. chapel on the words, IF thy pres
ence go not with me carry us not up
hence" He said fhose words ex-
pressed his own felings as he entered
on the new engagement into which he
had entered with the people there.
Then he proceeded to say:
Firstly If God will not be>with us
some one else will. The evil one is
ever on the alert and ever ready to en-
ter for the purpose Of scattering and
devouring the flock of God.
Secondly. God will go with us If we
invite Him in a becoming manner. If
with contrition, self abasement and
prayer we seek the Divine presence
God will go with US into the work of
the future.
Thirdly. Should God go with us we
shall have no reason to complain of
the new relationship into which we
have now entered There will be given
us the peace of love in action, peace on
the wing. There will be the spirit OF
mutual forbearance and friendship.
And we shall witness the growth of the
congregation and the conversion Of
souls.

TWENTY-SIXTH
ANNIVERSARY
SPECIAL SERVICES YESTERDAY
AT GRACE CHURCH.

Observance of the Establishment of
the Reformed Episcopal Church in
1s73-sermon of Rev. George L.
Alrich, the Pastor, on the Causes
Leading UP to the Foundation of
the Tenets Of the Denomination.
Short Sketch of Local Church rs
tablished in 1881.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-04

The twenty-sixth anniversary of the
establishment of the Reformed Epis-
copal church was commemorated yes
terday morning in the Grace Reformed
church, on Wyoming avenue, with
special sermon by the pastor, Rev.
George L. Alrch.
He took as his text Nehemiah AS:
so built we the wall; and all the
wall was Joined together unto the half
thereof, for the people had a mind to
work" The sermon was in the nature
of an interesting and complete ac-
count of the denomination and the
causes leading up to it.
Mr.. Alrich stated in opening his
remarks that the church was organ
lied under special and peculiar cir
cumstances, being an outgrowth of
the Evangelical Alliance of 1873 The
alliance of that year was held in New
YORK city and among those who at
tended 1t was Bishop George David
son Cummins, assistant bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal church of Ken
lucky.
ESTABLISHMENT OF CHURCH.
One morning during the sessions of
the alliance a union communion SER
vice was held at Rev. John Halls
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. At
this service Bishop Cummlns and
number of other visiting clergymen
assisted. The bishop was severely
criticized and scored by his fellow
workers in the Episcopal faith for this
violation of the canons of that church,
which forbid the assistance by it's cler-
gymen at any service of any other de-
nomina ton.
Bishop Cummins had always held
other views at variance with some Of
the doctrines of the established Epis-
copalian church. and he accordingly,
in company with several other minis
ters, established the Reformed Episco-
pal church on Dec. 2, 1878, in the Y.
M. c. A. rooms, at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Twenty-third
street
A set Of certain principles were
drawn up and the new church rapidly
grew in numbers throughout the coun-
try, its membership coming principally
from the regularly established Epis-
copal church.
The Grace Reformed church was es-
tablished in this city in 1884, Rev. C.
A. Redles being the first pastor. One
year later the congregation erected
and moved into the present church
building on Wyoming avenue. Among
the charter members were the follow
ing: Misses Rebecca and Mary Drink
err George w. Fritz and wife, Richard
NJ Hackett, William T. Hackett, ].
e. Chandler and wife. r. II. Frear
| and wife, c. P. Matthews and wife
and Thomas E. Lyddon.
PASTORS OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. Mr. Redles served as pastor for
| five years and was followed by Rev.
| d. NJ. Dtearns, who acted for seven
years. The next pastor was Rev. A.
| X Bates, who was followed a year
later by the present incumbent, Rev.
| George L. Alrich, who came here from
| Brooklyn, N. Y.
The church is at present in very
flourishing condition; in fact, more so
than it has been for years. 1t has al
ways been a missionary church, the
members of the congregation always
taking special interest in this mission
| ary work.

Davis and David Roberts
Sent to Jail for Thirty Days.

For several years Mrs. Hewitt, Of
Court street, has been a devout be-
lever in spiritualism and her home
has become the rendezvous of medi-
ums who, it is said, have swindled her
out of about 81 500. She was always
desirous to commune with the spirits
of departed friends and relatives and
the quacks who conducted the seances
made SO out Of each one held.
Mrs. Hewitt's neighbors, however,
complained about the goings-on and
the police have made several ineffect-
ual attempts to capture the spiritual
lists. The latter, however, invariably
lodged the police officers until Satur-
day night, when Lieutenant Spellman
and Patrolman Saltry descended on
the house and captured Edward Davis
and David Roberts, of the West Side.
Davis was acting as the spirit of 4
dear, departed friend, while Roberts
was impersonating the Holy Ghost.
The prisoners We're taken before AL
derman Myers, who fined them $25
apiece and gave them thirty days in
the county Jail on the charge of dis
orderly conduct and being inmates Of
a disorderly house. Mrs. Hewitts

Flood. Austin ooks for Forty
Five Foot Rise.

Austin, Tex, June S.-The clolldburst
of yesterday (which swelled the rivers
of this portion of the State out of their
banks and caused great loss of proper

night. Many people are known to have
persisted, nleagre reports tonight placing
the number at %.
Today reports came from San Saba
and Manaruville, small towns 80 miles
north of here an the mountains, saying
that both towns have been swept by
the raging floods and were badly de-
vastated. In San Saba eight people
were drowned and the entire town is
reported under water touight The river
at this point is one mile wide and rum
ming like a mill race. AT MMlardville
thirteen houses were swept away and to-
day several more fell into the swirlng
torrent. The river is reported as rising
at both places and grave fears are en-
tertalned that the entire country in that
neighborhood will be laid to waste.
San Saba is located in valley and
vast tracts Of wheat fields are under
water. These crops viii prove total
loss.
Many persons. according to reports re-
ceived here today, had difficulty in get
ting to high land before the rise came.
1he situation at Manardville lis even
more serious. Seventeen people are
known to have been drowned there and
there may be others. OF those drowned
two were girls, Lydia and Alma Wells
by name. The others were all negroes
who were living in cabins close to the
river front and were caught in the flood
before they could make their way to
safety owing to the darkness of the
night. The town has been laid waste
by the floods, and alq the surrounding
country is inundated.
This additional flood has not vet reach

TIE BOEFS URGED TO GRANT REFORMS
A Demand that All Englishmen in the Trans

With a Threat. Possibility
of War Discussed.

London. June S.-The adyices receiv-
ed here today from South Africa, cma-
Mating from British sources show more
completely the utter failure of the recent
conference between President Kruger
and the British high commissioner, Sir
Alfred Miner.
The London afternoon papers all refer
to- the dangerous situation.
Throuchout. it is added, President
Kruger sought to use the franchise pro
posal as Il means of obtaining prom
ise TO settle the differences under the
convention by arbitration, but the Brit
ish commissioner refused to treat these
two subjects as interdependent, taking
the ground that internal reform IN the
Transvaal was necessary IN TINS case III
order to preserve the independence of the
Republic. and as regards arbitration
there were certain questions upon which
it could not be admitted, while on other
questions arbitration was possibly ad-
missible provided suitable tribunal was
suggested not involving the introduction
of foreign power. which the Govern
ments would never allow.
WHAT ENGLISH PRESS SAYS.
London. June 9.-fEhe morning paper
are beginning to talk quite seriously ct
the possibility Of war in South Africa.
Mr.. Chamberlain. Secretary of State
for the Colonies. in his speech in the
House of Commons, yesterday an
nounced that HIS reply to the petition of
the Uitlanders. which had been held
back pending the result of the conference
at Bloemfontein, would now be present
ed to the Transvaal. -
This reply is semi-officially described
as "explicit hut conciliatory.' hut 1T Is
believed TO he in the mature of a prac-
teal ultmattIm. The resources of di-
plomacy are regarded as exhausted with
the failure of the conference Nothing
is left lit is felt. but a recourse to force.
The Daily Mail says it learns that it
was President Kruger himself who sug-
gested the conference; and it claims 10
have reliable authority for declaring that
Sir Alfred NIilner. the British high
commissioner. has his back to the wall
and is supported to the utmost by the
Cabinet.
Commenting editorially ON the situa
ton. the Daily Mail says
IL we KNOW our NTUgeF Alright. dc
will back down; and, if not. why.
The Daily Chronicle deprecates Mr..
Chamberlain war-ike attitude. but
does not deny the gravity of the situa-
ton, and seriously counseIs the Beers to
grant reasonable reforms las the only
means of preserving their independence
against the plots Of the stock exchange
and the violence of Downing Street"
The Standard which reminds the
Transvaa that it's independence is not
absolute, but is contingent on faith
full execution of the agreement stiplllat-
ing equal rights for all white inhabi
tants, says:
I'VE NOW demand that all Englishmen
resident in the Transvaal shall be treat
ed with justice: and President Kruger
may rest assured that the whole country
will support the Government in any
measures required to make this demand
effective.
