New York. March 1.-The Seabury
society, of the Episcopal church, has
a plan for establishing churches in
private houses throughout the city as
a means of reaching persons who
don't attend services in the regular
church edifices. This plan of using
parts of dwellings as churches in a
systematic way is new here, but #
has been tried by the Catholic church
in European cities. The new type of
church plant is a private house, either
rented or built for the purpose. wi h
the first floor front arranged as a
chapel, with curtains to shut off the
chancel. so that the room may also be
used at times for social purposes and

the Fight Started and Stalled Ma
chine Was Recovered.
Arkville, N. Y, March 1.-The big
gest excitement that has taken place
in local railroad circles occurred az
Eastbranch, N. Y, when the Delaware
& Eastern Railway company recovered
the possession of it's locomotive No. l.
1t had been levied upon for taxes at
Eastbranch, covered with official no
tices and tied to the tracks by several
big log chains and mammoth pad
locks.
Determined upon revenge, a dis
charged employee of the Delaware &
Eastern railroad obtained a commits
sion as deputy sheriff, levied upon the
locomotive through a technicality for
some unpaid taxes and prepared to
hold up the road.
Superintendent Wagorhorst, with
two engines and fifteen men, went to
Eastbranch to get the anchored ma
chine. The man who had levied upon
the engine heard of the coming of the
railroad force and, hastily gathering
five men, swore them in as deputies
and prepared for war.
When the railroad men arrived they
tied what is known in railroad circles
as a three-link chain to the drawhead
Of the stalled engine and began to
pull.
The officers in charge of the stalled
engine had fire up and $50 pounds Of
steam. AS soon as the two engines
began to pull the One-time railroad
man, now deputy sheriff, threw the re-
verse lever, and, having the advantage
of the chains, he held the engine, and
there was a sight for about fifteen
minutes that would make a first class
attraction for a country fair
All three engines were putting.
snorting and pulling hard, while the
drive wheels were slipping and the fire
flying. Once the railroad men broke
their chain, but they coupled on again.
and after about five minutes more OF
pulling they started the stalled loco
motive. The officers, not wanting to
be carried away, began to jump, and
all soon left the engine.
