HAS GROWN GREATLY
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
FOUNDING OF CENTRAL PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH
FROM A SMALL BEGINNING
1t Is Now on Firm Basis and Doing
Good Work - Addresses by
Pastor and Mem
bers.

The f1ftieth anniversary of the founding
of the Central Presbyterian church was
celebrated last night with elaborate GER
emonies. Several of the older members
of the congregation took part in the pro-
gramme, and recalled the times when the
prosperous church was but struggling
little socity in pioneer town. DR.. Mel
drum, pastor of the church, read a pa
per prepared by T. d. Simontin,
who is the Oldest member of the church.
1t took UP the early history of the church
from the time of its organization until
the present day. The following is an
extract:
The church had it's real beginning in
the coming to st. Paul of DR. John G..
Ryaldaffer. This was In the fall of 1851.
AT that time the territory of Minnesota
had but 1900 people within her borders,
and the city of st. Paul was but a town
of 1900. There was a Presbyterian church
in the town, but it was of the old
School, Some of the people felt there
was need for another society Accord
ingly shortly after Mr.. RyaIdaffer ar
rived the Central church was organized
with but seven members. There was no
church building, but the society met in
different places in the city. Some of its
meetings were held in the court house,
some in the supreme court room of the
on Baptist hill. The meetings in the
church were held under conditions that
no children were to be sprinkled in the
building.
In 1851 the new church building was
dedicated. 1t was built on the site now
occupied by the church, the ground being
given by Louis Robert, one of the early
pioneers of the city. This building was
occupied until the present structure was
erected few years ago.
Mr. r. H. Schriber. superintendent of
the Sunday school, spoke upon the mission
of the Central church. He pointed out
the different classes of work which the
church is able to do because of its favor
able location. In speaking of the work
which lies before the church, Mr.. Schri-
Der said that the time is almost at hand
when manual training department must
be added. He thinks there is a great
need of work of this class, and that it
will add to the influence and power OF
the church. Addresses were delivered
by Robert P. Lewis, Prof. Thomas Shaw
and DR. Meldrum. The celebration will
be completed with a social in the church
parlors this evening.

MALvAR ON THE STAND.
The Former Insurgent Leader Gives
 Some Surprising Revelations.

The Former Insurgent Leader Gives
 Some Surprising Revelations. MANILA, June 19.-Major Cornelius Gardener called the former insurgent Malyar, who surrendered i'll Batangas province last April, to testify yesterday before the board which is Investigating the charges brought by Major Garden er concerning conditions in Tayabas province, Luzon. This board held it's first meetings at Lucena, Tayabas province, but adjourned there to meet in Manila
 The testimony given by General Mall var has created considerable surprise. He said that Tayabas province had been one of the best disciplined insur- gent strongholds under his control and that each municipality iii the province obeyed him. He declared that he could have called 1,500 rffiemen and 450 bolo- men in Tayabas province and this without counting upon the men he could have raised in other provinces; that the people in the towns of Taya- bas obeyed we'll the orders issued by the American authorities as well as his own. They sent supplies to the insur- gents. he said, and then after the elapse of a few days would notify the Americans that such supplies had gone out. This Malvar ordered the towns people to do i'll order that they. might not be suspected by the Americans of disloya1ty. Each body of insurgents in Tayabas was supported by the town to which it belonged.
 General Malvar said a1so.that the ob- ject of all his orders was to pro1ong the struggle indefinitely; consequently in small engagements the insurgents were only allowed to attack the Ameri- cans when they outnumbered them three to one and in larger engagements only when they had at least equal numbers.
 Continuing his testimony, General Malvar said that the presence in any town of any native who was truly friendly to the American cause would have made it impossible for an insur- gent body to exist in that town. To the best of his belief, he declared, the in- surgents had candidates i'll all munich pal elections held i'll the provinces. General Malvar personally ordered the attack at Candelaria,- in Tayabas, last December.
 In conclusion the witness said that the insurrection in Tayabas and Ba- tangas provinces had been broken up as result of the methods adopted by General J. Franklin Bell in conducting the campaign there.

 Ruins of St. Pierre.
 ROSEAU, Island of Dominica, June 10.-With the permission of NJ. Lhuerre, the governor of Martinique, the ruins of St. Pierre were visited by the ad- ministrator of the island of Dominica, H. H. Bell, and a party of friends, who proceeded for Martinique on the steamer Yare Mont Pelee was in erup- tion, and ashes fell upon the Yare when she was passing Le Precheur. There were intermittent detonations, and the summit of the volcano was completely obscured by clouds of steam and ashes Great dense volumes of steam, apparently from small craters, rose by the seashore near the ruins of the Guerin sugar factory and from several places up the cleft from which the stream of mud had poured May 5.
 The ruins of St. Pierre presented 2 ghastiy sight Torrential rains had re- moved much of the sand and ashes with which they had been covered, and many corpses were partly exposed. The odors were strong and nauseafing. The valley of the Roxellane river has been blocked, and a portion of the river has been turned into the ruins of St. Pierre, the northwest portion of which is partially flooded.
 While Mir. Bell and his party were proceeding with their inspection of the ruins an avalanche of black scoria and sand fell to the east of the town, accompanied by loud detonations, which alarmed the visitors.
 The north end of the island of Mar unique is gray with ashes, and the whole population of that section ap- pear to have left the scene of death and deso1atiofl.

 Censures Captain of the Chicago.
 LONDON, June 19.-The text of the findings of the court of inquiry i'll the case of the United States naval officers imprisoned at Venice in the latter part of April throws asnew and important light on the affair It now appears that the United States consul at Venice, Henry A. Johnson, and the lawyer pro- vided by him for the defense advised the officers to plead that they were yio- lently drunk This they declined to do. Rear Admiral Aren't $. Crownin- shield, commanding the European squadron, in reviewing the findings of the court severely censures Captain James H. Dayton, the commander of the Chicago, for not personally attend ing to the defense of the officers and comments on the 1'revolting indigni- ties" suffered by the officers while con fined at Venice. Under the circum- stances Admiral Crowninshield holds that "a court martial would be q farce I
 'sThe sum total of the matter is,'' says the admiral in closing, that two officers had q dispute with waiter there and ran among chairs and tables, all the tables and chairs being deserted at the time; that one of them upset ta- bles and chairs. and that another called out in loud tones in the deserted square. While some or all of these ac tions may be considered indiscreet' or lacking i'll dignity, none of them merits court martial, aud none can be char acterized as bringing scandal or dis grace on the naval service; hence the court of inquiry clears the officers of resisting public authority or unwar- rantably attacking citizens, which are the principal if not the only points on which the Italian court found the par ties guilty"

RECORD IN SNOW REMOVAL
DR.. WOODBURY'S DEPARTMENT CON-
PLIMENTED BY MAYOR LOW.

The Street Cleaning Department did record
making work in the way OF Kidding the streets

pments for the way in which il had handled
the snowstorm from Mayor Low and others
Commissioner Woodbury. said in the afternoon
that he thought that the men of his department.
would appreciate little patting on the back for
the excellent work that they had done the
present storm, Every one of them has done
the very best work Of which he has been capa-
ble." he said and they have accomplished
much as has ever been accomplished in the de-
partment. The division superintendents have
worked day and night without rest. almost, and
the results are shown by the praise we are all
receiving. It has all been matter of organ
ization. with an occasional suggestion"
The record of which the department was so
proud reduced to terms of miles of streets. was
about thirty miles. This was said TO be better
than was ever before accomplished In day
in a twelve-inch fall An idea OF the amount
of snow in such fall may be gained from the
amount removed from the south side of Twenty
third-st. between Fifth and Sixth aves This
was twelve hundred and fifty loads. The num-
ber of Ioads moved yesterday TO.133, which
makes the total moved since work began las. .093
loads.
The work went on smoothly, except at the
dumps More work might have been done had
the facilities for dumping been better.
Sometimes many fifty teams would be
waiting for opportunity to dump their loads.
Nearly all the piers of the city let. and
there are consequently few places where the
Street Cleaning Department has a right to go.
Many of the dumping places leased piers
which used for this purpose by the courtesy
of the lessees. For this reason the space avail
able for dumping snow some piers is limited
An effort will be made to have put into future
leases for piers convenient for such purposes

work mostly confined 10 the district below
