Sudden Deaths,


tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and

1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.

day and Tuesday will be taken up with
the examinations and the annual mis-
siouary sermon. The Conference En-
tertainment Committee has about
completed its list of homes. Since the
publication of the list in our last weeks

necessary to make number of changes
and from one cause and another, these
changes may have to made up until the

teresting features of the approaching
session. The assignments will be
made by Bishop Joseph e. Berry, as
sisted by the presiding elders, Drs.
Mowbray, Morgan, Koous and Stengle.
Many pastors have asked for a change
of pastorate, and if the bishop and his

of making a satisfactory adjustment
will be difficult. Six churches have

REV. GRAHAM DECLINES CALL
TO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ELDER COOPER SECRETARY OF THE SEES
SION RECEIVED FINAL WORD THURSDAY

Was Nearly Three Months ln Arriving at De-
ClslOn-PuIpit Will Now Be Re-Opened for
Candidates Before Another Call Is Made
Rev. Ralph l.. Graham, of Chestnut
Hill, Pa, who on Wednesday evening
December the 10Th last, was extended
a call by the congregation of the Presby
terian Church, of Smyrna, to become
pastor to succeed Rev. j. L. Estlin, re-
signed, has written EzekielV Cooper,
secretary of the Session, that he will
be unable to accept the position. This
information which was forwarded last
Thursday, was received with disap-
pointment by many of the congrega-
tion, who had become delighted with
his style of oratory and his pleasing
mannerism, in the few visits he
made Smyrna. Rev. Graham had held
| the matter under consideration for
nearly three months and the fact that
he had delayed so long gave many to
believe that he was considering the
call seriously and would accept. In
the interim there has been sickness ir
his family which has doubtless pre-
vented him making a hasty decision
Rev. Graham, who is a son of Rev. r
Y. Graham, the popular pastor of the
Spring Garden Presbyterian Church
was pastor of the Chestnut Hill Pres
byterian Church but recently resigned
He is now without a charge. The de
cision having been definitely m ade the
pulpit of the Smyrna Presbyterian
Church will now be re-opened for can
didates. 1t may be soon or it may b
sometime before another Congrega
tional Meeting will be held to exten
call but an effort will be made to e
good candidates here so that choic
may be made at as early a date as pos
sible. The salary is 5000 a year il
Guiding manse with all modern col
veniences. The pulpit next Sunda
morning will be occupied by Rev. Wi

HEAVIEST SNOW STORM OF THE SEASON
Visited Smyrna on Sunday and Covered the
Ground TO Depth OF 5 Inches.

Smyrna was visited by heavy snow
storm on Sunday which kept our
citizens close to home and caused a
small attendance to our churches. 1t
showed constantly all day and coming
ais it did on the eve of the anniversary
of the great blizzard of 1888, made
some wonder if it was going to be a
repetition. Fortunately there was no
high wind and it drifted but very little.
The snow attained depth on a level
of about five inches, the heaviest snow
of the season. Toward evening the
temperature began to rise and by
morning it had moderated consider
ably. A few sleighs were out Monday
morning but it was not for long. BY
noon the snow had melted leaving our
streets and thoroughfares muddy.

STILL MAKING SEARCH FOR
SUPPOSED KIDNAPPED BOY
THOUSANDS BEING SPENT IN EFFORT TO
FIND HORACE MARVIN OF KITS HAMMOCK.
But So Far Nothing Definite Has Been Run
DOwn-Beleyed at Present to Be Con-
cealed Somewhere Over In New Jersey.

The talk of the State and the sensa-
tion of the newspapers of the East has
been the supposed kidnapping of little
Horace Marvin, but despite reward
of $4,000 by the State, besides private
rewards, the employment of Pinkerton
detectives and the distribution of thou
sands of posters, no definite clue has
been run down to avail the sadly
stricken family of any information that
will lead them to their lost boy. The
police of New York and Superinteud-
ent Dimaio, of the Dover special force
of Pinkertons have information guard
ed, that Horace N. Marvin, Jr, the
fonr-year-old boy who was kidnapped
from his home near kits Hammock,
on March 4th, is being concealed in
Jersey City. DIR. Marvin, who has
hardly slept an hour since he began
the search, has set into activity thou
sands of police and detectives, aud be-
lieves he will get the boy. The boys
father has a letter signed Orchard
Wilburton," and giving an address in
Jersey City that is being guarded: this
letter says the boy will be restored for
$4,000. Many other letters have been
received, but only one other is consid.
cred of importance. Most of the mis-
sives were of ''crank" variety. = The
Dover authorities paid little attention
to the Wilburton letter until New Y ORR
detectives called up Dimaio on the
telephone and impaired information
along the line indicated in the letter
Then all other clues were dropped and
work begun on the new lead. Th
letter consists of four closely writer
pages, aud starts as follows: 81 know
all about your boy. can get him.
And little further down the page th
words 1.-TWO thousand dollars" in
larger hand than the remainder of th,
letter and the words were heavily III
! derscored. DIR. Marvin had expecte
= to make the letter public until he ha
read these, opening words. Then b
. insisted upon first showing the lette
9 to Detective Dimaio. The detectiy
. also was at first inclined to believe th
L letter simply another hoax, when tn
telephone message came and the lettt
u was at once taken seriously and a
- further information regarding it witt
u held. In this amazing case there al
:. many remarkable sidelights. In IL
u first place is the action of the people
