The illustration today shows the brick
Baptist church that stood for more
than twenty years on the southeast
corner of Tenth and Market streets, on
part of what is now known as the
Harter block
Among the first Baptist ministers to
settle in Stark county were Rev. Jehu
Brown, of Waynesburg, and Rev. Pit
ney Guest, of Pike township. Both set
tied in the county about 1926 and were
considered good preachers of their
time, but they were always fearful Of
making start in Canton. In 1Si9
Thomas Goodman, Robert Latimer and
myself resolved to make the effort. In
April of that year we moved from Mas
sillon to Canton, and Mrs. Danner and
myself brought our church letters with
us and we. together with Brothers
Latimer and Goodman, made four Of
us, and Daniel Kreps, who was clerkiug
for me, was also Baptist, made in all
five.
We at once arranged to have Rev
John Winter, of Sharon, Pa, move
here and preach for u.s. That made
April, 1S49, and were organized as n
Baptist church of seven members. Revs.
Guest and Brown bade us Godspeed,
but had their fears that we never could
succeed in permanently establishing Il
Baptist church in Canton. On the 22d
day of April we organized our Sabbath
school, with fourteen in attendance.
Our meetings at first, and for several
months thereafter. were held in the lit
tie town hall, then located upstairs in
the old market house on the north pub
lie square. The Trinity Lutheran
church had occupied the same room
twelve or fifteen years before for the
same purpose.
We then purchased from the late Ira
M. Allen, his frame school house 24x3G
feet, that stood on rented ground where
the Reynolds block now stands, corner
Of Eighth and Court streets.
In 1851 we purchased from the late
John Shorb the northeast corner Of
what is now generally known as the
Harter block, corner of Tenth and
Market streets. We had but as feet
front on Market street and 1Q5 feet on
Tenth street, and we then moved the
- ohhS puiuih6 puiShdS iioAi Ito ti'
Allen on to the east end of our new
purchase, and in 1852 we built the
brick house, as illustrated, which was
36x50 feet in size and of more modern
construction than the churches then
in use in Canton. The old Allen school
house that had been our place of wor-
ship before the brick was erected. was
then used for Sabbath school and pray
er meeting purposes. and thus continu-
ed until 1872. when we took possession
of our present house of worship, when
the former was sold to j. G. Lantz and
used for shop on South Rex street
until 1t was destroyed by fire q few
years later. IS ftfa 81.
After short pastorate of Rev. John
Winter. who moved to Massillon, we
had Thomas Il. mman, and Rev. An
drew M. Torbitt. who were both OK
cellent men. but neither Of them kept
the pastorate long. Then came the
pastorate of Rev. p. M. Weddell, a
nephew of Peter M. Weddell, who bull,
the Weddell house in Cleveland. He
was with us seven years and did a
good work. He then accepted call to
the Baptist church In Wooster, Ohio

Brussels, April 6.-Meert, Sipido's ac-

Sipido apparently fired at the prince in
n mere spirit of bravado. Some one
wagered 5 francs with him that he would
not carry the plan into execution.
Meert told the magistrate that Sipido
had not been "dared" to shoot Wales.
He himself offered to bet francs that
he would do so.
Writing to the Paris Steele, Yves Guy

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
Brief summary of Business Done mt
the Present Session.

Albany, April 6.-The close of the leg
islative session of 1900 witnesses a CON
dition quite remarkable in the history
of New York legislation. Out of the
1900 measures offered for consideration
less than 300 have yet become laws, ana
of these few have any semblance of par
tisan, character, and indeed few have
been of any great public interest.
Measures of greatest public interest
and those whose consideration has occu
pied greatest time have failed of enact
ment. Notable among these are two
recommended hy Governor Roosevelt i'll
his first message to the legislature and
for the preparation of which special com
missions were appointed. These are the
mortgage tax bill and the school uniiica-
ton measure. The first was recommend
ed by a special committee Of the two
houses of the legislature, appointed t.
examine generally the question Of reform
in tax legislation. The mortgage tax
bill was tile result Of their studies Ills

nue. of ut least S12U00,000. So persistent
has hccl the opposition TO this measure
from tAe banking and corporate interests
of the state that it became apparent that
I the measure could not pass, and 1t was
permitted to die a natural death.
In regard to the school unihcation
proposition, the two branches of the edu-
! cational department, the regents ana
1 the superintendent of public educatioli'
/ were so at variance as to the methods
| to be employed, each supported by equal

VIGOROUS RALLY In SUGAR
Report Shows That Stock, To-

the Market. Lon
don Sold.

There was no trace of yesterdays reac-
tionary tendency in the stock market
Yesterday. Instead, the entire list dis
played strength in the face of foreign
houses, which showed more OF an incli-
nation to sell than buy. The movement
in Wall street ran more to the special
ties, though the trunk lines were not lax
in point of yigor, Pennsylvania advanc.
ing over l per cent on the initial deal
ings. The widest change was in Sugar
certificates, which rose over Il points in
ten minutes. Prices averaged / above
those oi last nihgt throughout the list,
few of the international shares sagglng
fractlonally.
We expect to see the reaction go some
what furl her today. Prices have risen
too fast for the public demand to keep
up and the large speculative interests
must sea the necessity ot letting the
market off now if the bull movement is
to be resumed later. Ii prices rally, as
they probably will, on traders covering
after a lower opening, sell the Grangers,
| Pacifcs, B. & 0. or Reading for quick
turn. On further sharp break long stock
can be taken back again to advantage.
People close to Pennsylvania insiders
say that something very favorable 10
coming out shortly which will justify
the rise in the stock. The Flower con-
tigent were very confident in their oper--
ations in Peoples Gas yesterday and
we're supposedly acting on assurances re-
garding an agreement with Ogden Co.

short sale until there has been further
bulge.

tionary tendency are N. Y. Co. and
