SUNDAY SERVICES.
WE'RE WELL ATTENDED AT THE
CHURCHES THROUGH THE
CITY.

On account of an expected increase
in attendance at the Union services Of
the Baptist and NJ. L. South congrega-
tions, the services were transferred
to the Baptist Church. In spite Of
the storm which ragged all evening, n
large congregation was present and
the same interest which has character
ized these meetings from the start
prevailed at this service.
Rev. Eddy occupied the pulpit, TAX
ing as the subject, the Lost Soul. AS
Illustration he told the story Of the
wild man from whom the devils were
cast, and made three subjects from
the story, 1st, Jesus Christ; I'd, the
Devil, and Sd the lost soul of man. The
sermon was an eloquent one and deep
ly impressed the audience.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 27.-At
eleven.thirty, District Attorney Wesis,
called the cases charging John H. San
derson, Joseph NJ. Huston, William L.
Mathues, William P. Snyder and Jas.
M. shumaker with conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the State. Graham as
counsel for Huston moved for sepa-
rate trial for him and the deputy at.
torney general said because of the Pc
culiarity of Huston's case he would not
object.
Sandersons attorneys announced
that they would not apply for sepa.
rate trial but urged that Shumaker be
given separate trial as the others
thought it unfair to other defendants
to place Shumaker on the stand in
his present condition. Shumaker's
attorneys declared It would be cruelty
10 take him into court within the next
twenty-four hours as his condition has
grown worse and to make him appear
in court would aggravate his condition.
Judges Kunkel and McCarrell held
short consultation and announced
that a motion to try Shumaker's case
separately was refused ther not be-
ing grounds sufficient to sustain it.
The refusal OF the court to try Shu.
makers case separately was regarded
as state victory 1t is said that Nj.
Shumaker will have to be carried into
court!
Following the shumaker refusal the
court was asked to give separate trials
to Snyder and Mathues on the ground
that he would be prejudiced to thei.
interests to try them with the others
Cunningham opposed the motion foT
separate trials, saying the interests OF
no man would be injured by the de
fendant's trial as whole. The inter
est of justice he said required denial
of the motion. Judge Kunkel over
ruled the motion and Attorney Gilbert
said he would take exception. Then
court adjourned until two O'Clock.
HARRISBURG Pa, Jan. 27.-Nonc
of the defendants were present at ten
o'clock, the hour set for beginning the
trial. Attorney Charles H. Berner
of defense said his side was prepared
to so ahead. District Attorney Wiss
announced that special business would
require the courts attention and
would not call the Capitol cases be
fore eleven.

First Presbyterian Church.

At the Presbyterian Church Rev.
Stoetzer occupied the pulpit in the
morning taking as his subject, "Tho
Mission of the Layman." 1t was a
strong appeal for better and more
earnest effort on the part of the con-
gregation.
At night Rev. Rankin preached an
excellent sermon from the subject,
Christ as a Prophet, Priest and
King"
Tonight the subject of Rev. Ran
ltin's sermon will be. Come unto me
all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and will give thee rest; take my
yoke upon me and learn of me, for i
am meek and lowIy in heart and ye
shall find rest unto your souls"
At the Temple and First M. e. Church.
The Union services which are being
held by the NJ. E. and the NJ. P. con.
gregations separated last evening in
order to accommodate the Sunday
evening crowds. Rev. Broomield oc-
cupied the pulpit at the NJ. P. Church
and Rev. Smith at the NJ. E. Both
services were well attended though
the inclement weather had caused the
attendance to fall some below the av-
erage. At the Temple, Rev. Broom
field spoke on the subject, What the
angels had to say of Christ, the names
they gave him,-Jesus, Christ and
Lord"
At the NJ. E. Church, Rev. Smith
spoke from the text, "Some trust in
charlots, some in horses but we will
remember the name of the Lord our
Cod" At both services much feeling
was manifest and hands were raised
for prayers. Services will be held to-
night as usual at the NJ. E. Church
