REV. P. M. WEDDELL
Sketch Of Noted Divine by One
Who intim atoIy Knew
Him.
(By John Danner.)

(by JOHN ldHneT.D
In our notice yesterday of the death
of Rev. P, NJ Weddell in Piqua. Ohio,
en- the 18th inst we did not have time
10 refer more particularly TO his work
In Canton. Rev. r. NJ. Weddell took
the, pastorate of the Baptist church in
Canton in 1853 and continued there for
seven years; during which time the
church greatly prospered. Among
those who Joined during his pastorate
were David collars ana wife. George
Cook and wife. and others that haye g
been active and useful worgers in
said church. Among the outstations
that Rev. Weddell preached at were
Wise's Mills, or; ;Middlebrarchs Aaron
IS. Wise and wife and many. others
of that region Joined the Baptist
church during Rev. p. M. Weddelfs
pastorate He was most earnest and
faithful preacher. The older MEM
bers of said church inform us that new
er in the history of their church did
they have a more popular or faithful
pastor. He was here seven years, and
the church was very sorry to have
here to take charge of the Baptist
church in Wooster. Ohio. and remained
there about the same length Of time
that he had been In Canton; from
there he went to the southern part OF
Ohio and there preached until quite
recently. Wherever Rev. p. M. We'd
dell was located he was a most con-
secrated and faithful witness for
Christ. and he loved to preach the
gospel. He leaves two sons and three
daughters: the Oldest son, Rev. ]. w
Weddell. d. D.. now has charge Of the
Baptist church at Walnut Hills, Gin
cinDati, Ohio, and Is also quite a sue
cessful pastor. When Rev. Weddell
came to Canton ne left a very i'm
portant church in South Pittsburg
which was 10th to give him up, but fell
that he wanted to come to Ohio, and
therefore resigned his charge in Pitts
burg and came to Canton, The ole
house of worship that the congregation
occupied during Rev. Weddell's pastor
ate In Canton, stood on the southeast
corner of Tenth and Market streets
on what is now known as the Hartel
lots. t
One of Rev. Weddell's daughters II
the wife of Rev. DIR. Henry, of Chica
go. one Of the most influential min
listers In the west. @

COURT RRIEFS.

Circuit court has adjourned until
Tuesday. at which time 1t is expected
that the business of the term will be
completed and decisions handed down.
/, Common pleas court will be held in
both court rooms next week, with a
full assignment of jury cases. 1t will
require two juries to attend to the bus
mess.
In probate court the county COM
nhssloners have ordered that crimi-
nal terms be held in March, June and
December OF each year. This is to
make 1t impossible for prisoner to
demand the calling Of jury any time
during the year. At present the pro-
bnte judge has continuous term,
which is expensive and not desirable.

THE VISIBLE COAL SUPPLY.

One of the objections urged by the
operators to reduction of the number
OF hours in a miners workday was
that the amount of coal mined under
the proposed condition would not be
sufficient to supply the market demand.
Now the supply Of coal in storage yards
is SO great that collieries in the
SchIyllsill region are reducing the
working time to three-quarter day.
The irresistible inference is that the
winter shortage was exaggerated
If not created for the dou-
BILE purpose OF furnishing the public
for sympathizing with the strikers and
enabling the spectators In coal to fill
their own pockets and the Golfer ol
