Work Begins on the New Church.

Mr.. Byham, the contractor for the erec-
ton of the new Presbyterian church OF
Tionesta, began the tearing-up process
last week, and work is progressing well.
In removing the corner stone the glass
jar with its contents was taken out. Sew
eral copies OF newspapers we're found, but
everything of statistical nature, by
which could be determined the date ofthe
completion of the original church edifce
was missing. 1t will be recalled that the
present structure was remodeled in 1893,
and on Oct. % OF that year was re-dedi-
Gated. The corner stone was also relaid,
and but two newspapers, the REPUBLI-
CAN and Vindicator, were added to the
list of articles in the Llass jar. In short
history of the church prepared by the late
Rev. j. V. McAninch and read at the re-
dedication the fact is noted that the first
editice was dedicated on Dec. 1853, so
that 1t is reasonable to suppose that some
time during the early summer of that
| year the work of erection was begun,
which would make the original structure
56 years old this summer. Besides the
| old newspapers, which bear date 1852, and
one of which is German paper contrib
uted by the late Herman Blum of this
One of the newspapers is the "Whig
Banner" published in Frank lin, Pa, by
r. Lyle White, and bears date November
IL. 1852. In ii are some names still ia.
miliar to some of our citizens. On the
grand jury drawn for that month are the
names of David Ball and Joseph Grove,
of Tionesta, and on the traverse Jury are
the names of Robert Ensign and Andrew
Fleming, also at one time prominent
residents OF Tionesta. Other interesting
facts might be quoted from this paper
did space permit. All of these papers
will be returned to the corner stone of
the new church when it is relaid. They
are in good state of preservation, show
ing that the paper manufactured in those
days was far superior to the present day
output.
Services we're held for the last time in
the old ediice on Sunday evening, and
the pastor, Rev. Ii, A. Bailey, referred
feeling to this fact, and at the close he
asked the entire congregation to join in
singing the Doxology. Rev. B. F. Felt
impressivly pronounced the benediction.
Another feature of the meeting Sunday
evening, which is of more than ordinary
interest, was the presence of one person
who had attended the dedicatory services
on Dec. o, 1858. That person was the
venerable Mrs. A. B. Root, now making
her home with her daughter, Mrs. G. f.
Watson. The fact was brought to Mrs.
Roots remembrance when Rev. Mr..
Bailey touched upon the matter, and af-
forded her great satisfaction and pleasure.

MARINE
THE DIX BROUGHT
CLEAN NUT COAL
Was First American Steamer to
Visit the New Port
of .fiike.

With 1000 tons Of Japanese coal in
her holds. the L. s. transport Dix ar
rived yesterday forenoon from Manila
via japanese ports, and immediately
began to discharge about 1000 tons of
coal ordered left here by the war de-
partment. Two thousand tons will be
held for bunker use, and 1900 tons will
be discharged at Seattle.
One thousand tons Of the amount or
dered for Honolulu is a new kind. the
first from the great deposits at Mike.
Japan. 1t Is nut coal. and there is not
trace of dust, rock or slate in it. As
it IS dropped on the wharf from the
great buckets it shows up much darker
than piles Of ordinary japanese coal
piiing up alongside. This nut coal is
designed for use in the various military
posts about Honolulu rather than for
use in transports. The Dix used the
nut coal on the way here from Japan
and found it excellent. Being lighter
IN weight than ordinary coal, the same
amount can not be carried
The uniform size and cleanliness is
brought about by the japanese miners.
who drop the coal into great water
basin. The rock and slate sink to the
bottom and the dust floats off By the
use of great mechanical rakes the nut
coal is brought to the top, thoroughly
cleansed and ready for shipment.
The new port of Mike is far inland,
up a great tortuous waterway on the
eastern side of the long peninsula on
which the city Of Nagasaki is located.
The transport Dix worked carefully up
through this waterway and came to
the new port. A breakwater 5000 feet
long practically locks in a dredged- out
harbor. The transport had to pass
through gateway at high tide, and the
gateway was closed behind the vessel
This keeps the water in the harbor, and
vessel can only leave at high tide
The harbor has been developed at ire
mendous expense, and when it was
opened by the Rothschild of Japan, who
controls the coal deposits, the expense
of the opening and entertainment cere,
monies amounted to about $4,000.
The Dix was the first American YES
sci to enter the port, and she was also
the largest. The fact that she was
foreign steamer, of such great bulk,
and having white officers aboard caus-
ed great excitement throughout the dis
trict, and thousands of men, women
and children came down, not only to
inspect the vessel but to see the white
people. An officer of the Dix said it
appeared to them that they were the
first white people the japanese of the
district had ever seen. Hundreds and
hundreds of japanese school children
