THE PASTOR OF
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Accepts a Call From Columbus, 0. VIII
Leave Next Month.

The Rev. DR.. b. F. Dimmick created a
sensation among the members of the
congregation of st. Paul's NJ. +. church
Sunday morning when, after he had
completed the delivery of his sermon, he
announced that he had accepted a call
from the Wesley or Old First church, of
Columbus, Ohio, and that he would leave
for that city about the middle of October
The announcement was wholly un-
expected as DIR. Dimmick had given no
previous intimation whatever of this
proposed change. The Columbus con-
gregation desired that their new pastor
take up his charge at once but this DIR.
Dimmick refused to do and he set the
the time stated above for his departure.
This change will make a vacancy at st.
Paul's which the congregation will find
difficult to fill, men of DR.. Dimmick's re-
ligious zeal, rare ability and unusual en-
terprise not being obtainable Oh all oc-
casions.
DR.. Dimmick entered upon his work
as pastor of st. PauPs church in April
1899. His former charge was Grace
church of Harrisburg, one of the largest
and most fourishing congregations in
Central Pennsylvania. \ monument to
the retiring pastors thrift and enter
prise is the magnificent front which now
graces St. Paul's.

AN IMPROVEMENT
IN NAIL SERVICE.
After October l. The City Will be Re,
districted.

With the advent of the new carrier,
which will take place on October lst,
Danville will enjoy a much improved
mail service.
Although it was well known by the
authorities here that for some time past
there was considerable dissatisfaction in
certain localities regarding the tardy de-
livery of mail matter it was not until
lately that the department at Washing
ton could be convinced that such was
the case About three weeks ago a
fourth carrier was ordered into service
and Charles Peifer, being the senior sub
stitute, received the appointment.
The town has been redistricted and
there will be considerable change in the
routes OF the carriers. When the order
goes INTO effect West Market and West
Mahoning streets will be supplied be-
tween the hours of eight and nine in
stead of between $50 and IL o'clock as
is PERMITTED by the present schedule.
Guick's Addition will have two deliv-
cries a day instead of one and Bloom
street between the borough line and the
"culyert" will be included in the dis
trict, also Railroad street from the
"cuIvert" to the borough line.
a carriers window will be established
at the Post Office at certain hours,
yet to be decided upon, residents will
have the opportunity of inquiring for
their mail of the carrier in their district,
thus doing away with the annoyance Of
waiting until the following day for the
delivery of mail that arrived on an
evening train.

Jewish HOLY Days.

The first day Of Tishri, jGGl, will fall
this year on Monday, Sept "a. This is
the Jewish New Year, and, beginning at
sunset of the preceding evening, ushers
in the series of fall holy days known a.
the high holy days in the Jewish cal
endar.
Rosh lIashana is observed with speci-
al services of an impressive character.
In most synagogues the service is open
ed with the blowing Of the Shofar, or
Rams Horn, in accordance with time
honored custom. There are special musi-
Cal features in the reformed synagogues,
and appropriate sermons are delivered
from the pulpits. Yom kippur, which
follows the New Iear,is the most solemn
and important holy day in the Jewish
calendar. 1t is the Day of Atonement,
and is observed by Jews throughout the
world as the great fast day In most
pulpits appeals for the support of jew
ish charities are made on this day, and
large sums are annually collected for the
poor in this way.
At B'nai Zion Temple the Rev. Adj
olph Meyer will conduct special ser
vices, commencing on Sunday evening,
Sept. 23rd. A ladies quartette will fur
nish special music. These holydays are
very strictly observed by the Jewish
people in this city.

STRIKERS GAINING
IN NUMBERS
In The Coal Fields. The Tie-Up is Now
Almost Complete.

Shamokin, Sept. 20, 1900.-FrOm near
lv every district in the coal fields, the
miuerS gained recruits in large numbers
Yesterday. With the exception of the
SchuylkiI district, which remains al
most intact in spite of the influences
brought to bear by the strikers and their
sympathizerS, the tie up is complete.
50 far there has been comparatively
no riuting or violence-a rare thing for
a strike covering so large a territory and
including so many classes Of workmen.
In Shamokin yesterday a number of
men employed at the Hickory Ridge
coIliery were stoned and finally compell-
ed to give up work. Despite the peace
full aspect the operators are having many
deputies sworn in and the Pinkerton
men are much in evidence.
The result of the strike is already be-
ing felt in The scarcity of coal, many
railroads and dealers being lily prepared
for it, notwithstanding the warning
they have had. The ID. J.. & W. have
housed all their coal cars and are unable
to Gil any orders; needing their present
supply for their own consumption.

Disturbed the Neighborhood.

About three o'clock yesterday after
noon the usual serenity Of North Mill
street was rudely disturbed by series
of ear piercing screams and shriebs min
gled with curses which were uttered in a
thin and high pitched feminine voice.
The cause of all this disturbance was Il
colored woman who was either crazy or
intoxicated ard was parading along the
street vowing all sorts of vengeance on
some one who had evidently crossed her
in some manner.
Her name was not learned nor was the
point at which she started on the war
path. At the d. l.. q w. crossing she
seems to have disappeared and after that
time nothing was heard concerning her,
although the police were on the look
out, expecting a second performance.

ment on Mill street. The men in their
new uniforms looked very neat and with
the addition of the new Washington

showing. The Friendship, Washington

parade and were headed by the Chief

Just as soon as the Washingtons can
complete the new stable, which they
will build in the rear of the hose house,
