ing of former United States Senator
y w. Carmack. The adjournment at
moon Saturday over until Monday con.
cluded the sixth week of the trial, and
Ehe tenth day OF the actual testimony.
The state has offered testimony to
show that Senator Carmack received
dhreats that unless he omitted Colonel
Cooper's name from the columns Of
Che Tennesseean, either he or Cooper
would have to die.
Its witnesses told how the senator
while in the act Of speaking to his
friend and neighbor. Mrs. Eastman,
was startled by hearing Colonel
Cooper say: $50 there you are. We
have the drop on you"
Mrs. Eastman swore that the SEN
satnr was in the act Of raising his hat,
when the hostile voice was heard, that
ne partially drew his revolver, that
before he could use 1t he was shot and
4s1 into the gutter dead.
On the other hand the defense thus
far has offered testimony to show that
Colonel Cooper saw Canmack by &C

9ead him away; that be turned and
said he would talk to Carmack; that
Robin Cooper followed the father;

senator, received the bullets aimed at
the elder Cooper and then shot and

The testimony against Sharpe Is
largely circumstAntial; he met the

A FLOATING CHURCH
PHASE or RELIGIOUS WORK IN
PHILADELPHIA YEARS AGO.
Scheme Grew out Of Extension Of
seanien's Missions and 6ethels
FINALLY Removed to Land
and Later Burned.

Philadelphia.-On the east side Of
Water street, north of Walnut, there
have been demolished some old build
ings which stood on the site OF the
Mariners Bethel, established almost
80 years ago through the endeavors
of a remarkable preacher, Rev. Jo-
seph Eastburn, whose name was per-
petuated in the Eastburn Mariners
Bethel, on Front street, near Pine.
A larger and more handsome structure
on Washington avenue has since sup
piled the place Of both. The picture
Of the floating church given here Is
another phase Of the religious work
carried on among the seamen in this
port many years ago, and perhaps was
one of the most characteristic methods
of getting into touch with the man be-
fore the mast in the old days.
Philadelphia interest in this work
is very considerable, since the idea
originated here in the gentle mind Of
Joseph Eastburn, who long before he
began his activities among the mar
liners was well known in the pulpits Of
many a congregation not only in vari-
Gus parts OF this city, but In many
parts of New Jersey. For some years
he preached every Sunday at the old
almshouse, then on Spruce street His
voice and counsel was also heard in
the corridors of the old prison at Sixth
and Walnut streets. but in 1919 he be-
gan to preach to seamen, and was re-
ceived so cordially and his work had
so happy result that he devoted the
remainder of his life to the work.
Rev. Mr.. Eastburn was a son OF
Robert Eastburn, whose trial and dan
gers while in captivity among the In

dams in Canada may be familiar to
those who have read the now scarce
pamphlet published here in 1853, with
a recommendation by Rev. Gilbert
Tenant. This Indian raid affected
the fortunes of the elder Eastburn so
seriously that the son was unable to
receive the education for which he
was intended. From the necessity of
earning a living he found time to
preach at intervals. and finally was
received as stated preacher. Until
he established the Mariners Bethel he
was principally peregrinating preach.
er known generally in this section of
the country. In 1919 he began his
work among the seamen, for at that
time Philadelphia was the most inn
portant port in the United States. The
field, consequently, was a large one.
Within 4 few years the movement be-
gun in sail loft prospered so well
that ground on Water street was OBJ
tanned, the architect Strickland was
retained to design the building, and a
fine church, rather modest in size, was
erected. This was the first building
of it's kind in the world.
The movement spread rapidly. The
Philadelphia experiment was the fore
runner of every religious mission to
the mariners in recent times. Upon
the dedication of the church in 1924
it was said by Robert Ralston, who
presided at the exercises: THE inter
est excited in the seamen's behalf was
lantic. Only seven or eight years have
elapsed since the public feeling has in
any measure been alive to this object,
and what has been the result? Bethel
unions, floating chapels, mariners
churches and prayer-meeting establish
ments we hear of from almost every
large seaport"
The floating Church of the Redeemer
was not launched until many years
after the opening of the Mariners
Bethel on Water street. II was under
the direction of the Chgrcbmen's Mis-
sionary Association for Seamen of the
port of Philadelphia, and was founded
in 1S47. The floating church was
moored at Spruce street wharf, and
remained there until 1851, when the
dock at which the structure was
moored was leased for commercial
purposes and the floating church had
to be abandoned. The structure was
removed to a lot in Camden, and there
served for small congregation for
several years, but tinahy was reduced
TO ashes in a ire which consumed the
building one Christmas morning many
years ago.
