work, at the close of which Rev. II.
Clay Ferguson became pastor and re-
mained such until 1896, when he and
some Of the officers of the church could
not harmonize in their views and they
withdrew from the church, taking guile
number Of members with them, and
started a new congregation known as
the Calvary Presbyterian church.
Very shortly thereafter the present pas
tor, Rev. o. b. Milligan, was called
and Installed as pastor and he has made
wonderful progress in the upbuilding
OF the church,, both spiritually and
financially, so that they are looked upon
as one Of the leading protestant con-
gregations in the city. Some of the
best who withdrew with the former
pastor, have returned to the old church,
and are loyalty working with them.
During the pastorate of Rev. D. e.
Platter, a mission was started in the
southwest portion of the city, known as
the Buckingham Mission. 1t has been
continued up to the present time, and
house of worship has been built and
paid for. The building is quite capable
of seating four or five hundred people,
and a fair sized Sabbath school Ia
maintained there. The present superin-
tendent is Mr.. Henry s. Belden, who
has held said position for several years,
and has the confidence of the church
and his fellow workers.

THIS FARM
HAS A HISTORY.
Old Mckinley Furnace Farm,
Near Lisbon.
SALEM MAN HAS BOUGHT 1T,
And Will Develop Its weaith-site Of the
First Blast Furnace In Ohio-rhe
McKinley's Once Lived on
the Place.

Salem, Oct. ia special from Lis
bon, published throughout the district
this week, gave the news Of the sale,
to Attorney Byron s. Amber, of Salem,
of the historic Mckinley furnace farm
near Lisbon. The News today publishes
an interview with Mr.. Amber in which
he says he intends to develop the
property.
This farm, which is known as the
Furnace Farm" Is situated three
quarters of a mile north of Lisbon on
the Erie railroad, and was purchased
by Mr.. Amber from the John Nicely
monds heirs. AS the location of the first
blast furnace in Ohio, known as the
"Rebecca furnace" the ruins of which
are still to be seen, which was operated
for a number of years by William Nc
Kinley, father of the president, it came
to be known as the Furnace Farm"
After the furnace ceased to be used
as such, 1t was utilized as lime kiln,
the premises abounding with limestone,
iron ore and coal. Those Of the McKin-
ley children who were older than the
president were all born in the large
stone house near the furnace, but the
fanny moved from Lisbon to Niles,
which became the birthplace of the
president. The Sandy and Beaver
canal crossed the divide upon this farm
and the remains of seven locks may
still be seen within it's limits.
While Mr.. Amber has not sold the
farm and does not expect to do so he
has leased the coal and mining rights
of the premises to the Lisbon Coal COM
pany, which operates the coal works
located on the farm. This company Is
getting out 240 tons of coal per day and
started the work only last March. 1t
expects to increase the daily product to
500 tons per day by Christmas. The
Keystone Fire Clay company's brick
and clay plant Is also located upon the
farm.
Mr.. Amber will restore the house 10
it's old time condition and put the farm
in general first-class shape. He will
probably open a stone quarry, there be-
ing an inexhaustible supply of excellent
stone convenient to the railroad.
This farm is recognized as the key
to the coal lying in the direction Of the
county infirmary, and that in the vicinity
Of Lisbon has long been known as the
furnace COAL" sad to be the best ever
produced in this territory. After almost
century of mining, only a very few
acres of the coal have been exhausted.
At present an acre per month is being
mined and this will speedily be increas-
ed to two acres per month.

How the Bond of WedlOck Was
Welded On Gipsy Couple
Weird Rites.

In lonely glen, with no covering but

a gypsy queen, was united in wedlock
Monday night to Joseph McDougall,
chief of the tribe, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
The tribe, q picturesque one, and num-
bering many souls, is camped in the
hills back of Millvale, and the hills
echoed back the words of the service,
words fraught with weird and solemn
meaning.
There We're no flowers save the few
late weeds which nature herself brought
to the ceremony; no ring save that
formed by those who participated. But
no society function could be more i'm
pressive than this Of the Romany.
Tall and dark the bridegroom stood,
his hand tight clasping the hand of his
bride. And by them stood an aged crone.
the oldest Of the tribe, who held a heated
iron which she passed through their
clasped hands. And as it made it's pain
full journey, uniting them in fire and
pain, gladsome boy, the youngest Of
the tribe, poured cool and grateful water
on the painful wounds. Then all as
sembled broke into an eerie on the night
air. And all was over. They were man
and wife.
Such was the ceremony. To a Dis
patch reporter the bride explained its
significance. The hot iron, the burning
flesh, the cooling water, signify that the
wife must cling to her husband and
the husband to his wife, through fire
and through water for ever and aye.
Just before dawn Tuesday morning
the happy pair. SO strangely welded,
accompanied by all their friends, began
their wedding journey, which will not
end until they reached the dark shore OF
the unknown beyond. For the Romany
knows no resting place but the grave.

STARTED DOWN HILL
And the Wheels Of a Wagon
Passed Over Nathan Rice,
Breaking His Ribs.

Nathan Rice, employed by Turin
Albright, farmer living north of the
city along the Fulton road, was serious
ly injured day or two ago, by a wagon.
The accident occurred on the Oberlin
farm, where the explosion Of q steam
boiler occurred Thursday, injuring a son
of Albright and also injuring Oberlin.
Rice was repairing wagon, in tho
woods, at the top Of small knoll, when
the vehicle started down hill. Rice,
who was under the wagon, unable to
escape, was thrown backward, and the
wheels passed over him, fracturing
three ribs in his right side, and other.
wise bruising him.
His cries soon brought assistance and
he was removed to the Albright place,
where his injuries We're attended to by
DR.. A. c. Brant. Albright and the hired
man had gone to the Oberlin farm to
saw wood, shortly before the accident
occurred.
Young Albright, who was injured by
the boiler explosion, Is recovering from
his injuries. Parties who have seen
the exploded steam boiler, say Albright
had miraculous escape from instant
death. The engine was turned COM
pletely over by the explosion. Young
Albright was standing at the time on
the side of the boiler.
Pieces Weighing from 80 to 100 pounds
were found the next day lying at points
from 500 to 1000 feet away.
1t is said this is the same steam en-
gine that caused a fatality at the Lin
den avenue bridge, at the water works
park, several years ago.

Columbus, Oct. 20.-The following
syllabus Of the supreme court decision
in the case of GAINESVILLE VS.. the Zanes-
Vile Telegraph and Telephone company,
which sets forth that legislative power
can not be vested in probate courts,
and declares invalid section 3461 of the
revised statutes, is of importance to all
counties. This syllabus was one among
many others that were handed down:
/. The distribution of the powers of
government into three coordinate
branches, executive, legislative and
judicial, is an essential feature of our
system of constitutional government
and prohibits the confusion of these
powers by comforting upon one branch
powers that belong to another, unless
necessarily incidental to the powers
conferred by the constitution.
2. The probate courts Of the several
counties of the state belong to it's
judicial department and can not be au-
thorized to exercise powers that are
legislative or administrative in char
acter, except as the same may be Incl
dent to their judicial powers.
3. Section 3461, revised statutes, re-
quiring probate courts to direct the
mode in which telegraph or telephone
company may use the streets and al
leys Of city or village, when the
municipal authorities and the company
are unable to agree, is legislative, and
not judicial, in character, and is there
fore unconstitutional.
Judgment reversed and that of the
probate court and common pleas af-
firmed, except the judgment for costs
in the former court, which is reversed.

PERRELL'S OWN
CONFESSION,
Chief of Police Tyler Testifies
to Young Mans Confession.
MRS. LANE TAINTED IN COURT
Sensation at the Trial at Marysviile Yester-
day, when the Murdered Express
Messeneer's Wife Took
the Stand.

Marysville, o., Oct. 19.-The trial of
Rosslyn Ferrell on the charge of the
murder Of Express Messenger Charles
Lane on August 10, is attracting wide-
spread interest throughout the state.
The large court room Is packed to its
utmost capacity every day and hun
dreds blockade the Railways and cor
ridors. Many spectators come miles to
get glimpse of the murderer as he Is
brought into court, handcuffed to
Sheriff Robinson.
Mrs. Louisa Lane, Of Cuba, N. Y,
wife of the murdered man, when called
upon to identify the bloody clothing
worn by her husband on the day he left
home, tainted completely away, Great
ing a great sensation in the court room
when the clothing was presented for
Identification. The defense stated that
Mrs. Lane need not testify as to the
clothing. She left the stand weeping
bitterly. Chief of Police w. P. Tyler
was called and all reporters having a
knowledge of the crime were excluded.
When he began telling about Ferrel's
confession Hon. Jesse l.. Cameron, the
defendants attorney, objected on the
ground that the testimony was incom-
petent and the Jury was dismissed from
the from the court room. This point We s
discussed by the attorneys and Judge
Melhorn stated he would not give his
decision until after noon, and the prose-
cutting witness, G.. d. Curtis, superiu-
tendent of the express company, test.-
fled that Ferrell had been in the employ
Of his express company at various times
since August 1897. A receipt book used
by Lane was identified by Curtis. Chief
Tyler was again called in connection
with the objection raised by Ferrell's
lawyer to the admission Of confession
made by the prisoner. He stated that
no inducements were made to make the
confession. Detective O'Neill was plac-
ed on the stand and began giving the
confession made by Ferrell to him and
Detective Dundon. The objection raised
by the defense that the confession was
not competent was not sustained and
ONeill thereupon related the full story
of the crime as told him by the murder
er. Herbert Corey related the confess
sion Ferrell made to him in Jail at
night, which was exactly like that Of
O'NeilPs.
An expert physician Of Kenton has ex.
amined Ferrell as to insanity and his
testimony will be used by the state.
