Notes of the Churches.


The Council OF the Episcopal Diocese
of West Virginia, in session last week in
Parkersburg, adjourned on Saturday, to
meet next year in Martinsburg, the time
to be fixed later. Bishop Peterkin pre-
scented his resignation as the Bishop OF the
Diocese, owing to the fact that his ad-
vanced age and increasing infirmities pre-
vent him from giving adequate service TO
the church. The Council, however, unan-
imously passed resolution requesting
him to continue as the head Of The church,
though no duties will be expected OF him.
The Council adopted the minimum pen
sion plan for aged and iniirm clergymen.
This plan gives minimum pension Of
5000 after the clergyman may reach the
age OF 69 years. and may be increased
when the fund has accumulated sufficient
ly. Under the plan each vestry is re-
quired to pay to the fund IL per cent
OF the salary expense of their church.
The iirst of the open-air religions ser
vices for this summer will be held SUM-
day evening at 6 30 o'clock in front OF the
old college building, and the sermon will
be preached by Rev. John S. Alfnend, Of
Charles Town, who is so highly regard
ed by many friends in this community.
These services will be held in this beau
tiful spot each Sunday evening during the
present summer, the several churches OF
the town uniting in the worship. This
plan proved very acceptable TO the people
of the neighborhood last year, and the
services were Away attended by large
congregations. We have no doubt that
they will prove equally popular this sea-:
son. Everybody is cordially invited to
attend. The music will be made a spe-
cially attractive feature.
M. E. Church South-The first quarter
ly conference of the year will be held Sat-
urday OF this week at Up. m. in The Shep-
herdstown church. DR.. B. w. Bond,
acting presiding elder, will conduct the

Sunday at II a. m. The pastor will preach

dren's day will be observed at Marvin at
Up. m.
Rev. Guy P. Bready. who has been
pastor OF the Reformed Church of Shep-
herdstown for the past year or more, has
offered his resignation to the consistory of
the church, having decided to accept
call from the Reformed congregation at
Taneytown, Nd, where he recently
preached trial sermon.

Swope VS.. Domer and Garrison.
An interesting trial was held Tuesday
evening before Magistrate r. q. Miller.
when Charles Domer and Bill Garrison
were tried on the charge OF purloining
sundry fish and cells from Bill Swope.
AS result OF his industry in running trot
lines, Swope had accumulated IA cells,
p catfish and one goggle-eyed bass,
which he placed in live-box in the river
near the bridge. Tuesday morning when
he went to get his fish they were missing
some one had stolen them or else the
fish had broken open the box, towed il
out TO deep water and made their escape.
Mr.. Swope was indignant at this loss of
personal property, and he began an in
vestigaton which led him TO believe that
Messrs. Domer and Garrison had played
trick on him. He found similar lot
OF fish in their possession and swore out
a warrant for their arrest. They were
taken before the magistrate for trial, and
though it was admittedly strange Co
incidence that they had IA cells, p catfish
and one google bass, they declared
that they had caught the fish themselves.
Now fish, and especially cells, it must be
conceded, are hard to identity, but Swope
swore to his piscatorial collection even
more stoutly than the others denied it..
Certain fish hooks tied with Swope's
patent loop were also found in possession
OF Domer and Garrison. and this seemed
to weigh in the balance against them.
After hearing the facts and the falsehoods
in the case. Magistrate Miller imposed a
fine OF S. and costs each against Domer
and Garrison, which they reluctantly
paid There was some regret on the part
of bystanders that the question, Is an eel
fish I? was not raised at the trial, so that
judicial opinion might have been Secur-
ed

OLD RESIDENT
 CONGRATULATES
REV. PEDERSEN AND FAMILY WIRE TO SE-
 WARD.

The Rev. Mr. Pedersen, formerly the methodist minister of Seward, wired to Frank E. Balla;re today what might be regarded as congratulations to us for securing the terminal but which are really congratulations to the people who stayed with it.
 The following is the telegram:
 Congratulate Sewardites. Town selected railroad terminal Second Thessalonions, one four.
 (signed) Pedersen family.
 A biblical authority of our fair city was requisitioned at a great expense to find out about that ThessalOnian business and forth came he after much travail and tribulation and with the good book opened at a certain page. Thessalonions, one four, says;
 "So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your perse- cutions and tribulations that ye en- dure."

AIRMEN ATTACK
 GERMAN TOWNS
BOMBARD HANGARS, RAILROAD STATION AND BAR
 RACKS.

PARIS, March 27.-Fleets of French airships made successful raids on several places in Germany yester- day. They bombarded the Zeppelin airships hangars at Frescaty, the rail road station at Metz and the barracks at East Strassburg. The damege in- flicted in those places is said to be considerable but there is much difficult ty facing-airmen in the effort to esti- mate the real amount of such damage. The other chief items in today's re- ports are that a severe artillery en- gagement has been proceeding at Nieuport and that the French captur- ed German trenches in South Fland- CTS. No sign of a general advance by either side has yet made itself ap- parent although the weather is get ting brighter and warmer every day. Indeed spring may be said to have come in northern France and Flanders and there is feeling that the deadlock may continue much longer. Each side is so carefully and strongly entrenched that the task of driving one or the other out can only be ac- eomplished at tremendous loss of life,

BASEBALL GAME
 FOR TOMORROW
SEASON OPENS WITH STRUGGLE AGAINST STRONG NEW
 TEAM.

The baseball season opens tomor- row, March 2S, with a game between the regular city team and a team which goes under the name of the Federals and will be constituted in part of some of the new arrivals in the city. So many new players will appear on the Federal aggregation that it was for a time thought that they should be called Chechacoes but many of the players are men who have been on teams before in other parts of Alaska. Frank Ennis of Walla Walla will be at the helm in the Federal ranks and Frank Martin will manage the Sewardites. Ennis says they are going in to beat the home bunch and there will be no monkey work. He was formerly prominent in charge of racing and other sporting events in the East Washington city and knows his business. Koontz of Spokane and Burley, formerly Nome star, will be on the team, and few others that will give our bunch big run for the money.

 PATHIANS.
NORTH ATTACK STOPS
PETROGRAD BELIEVES LINDEN. BERG HAS ABANDONED
 NEW ATTEMPT.

PETROGRAD, March 27.-Ger- many is now rushing endorsements to the Carpathians to give much need ed aid to the Austrians against whom the Russian army has been victorious. So successful has the Russian ,ifens- i've been in the mountains that Bud apest Is seriously threatened. The fighting is still desperate from Uszok to the Dukla passes but the Austrians are being steadily driven backward into the heart of their owr country and at a frightful loss. The coming of spring weather is sure to have favorable effect on the Russian ad- vance as the winter snows impeded tie progress of the invaders as usual. No change has taken place on the front near East Prussia. Hindenburg mas apparently abandoned the attempt to reach Warsaw from the north ai the line of Russian Notifications fac ing him is altogether too strong. The fall of Pre2emysl has acted most favorably on the spirits of the whole Russian army and neyer did victory seem so sure.

GER MANS CLAIM AN
 IMPORTANT VICTORY.
Berlin Report Says That in Severe Engagements on the Mouse
 French were Defeated.

BERLIN, March 27.-The official report issued this morning contains the information that in a severe en- gagement on the heights of the Mouse the French were decisively de- feated and compelled to abandon i'm portant positions. Nothing new is re- ported from North Poland but it is stated that nothing unfavorable has occurred in any part of the eastern front. The German government has also semi-officially given out the in- formation that the attempt to force the Dardanelles has failed utterly while the Turks have been victorious in the fighting in all parts Of the Asia Minor field of operations. The greatest hopes are centered on Gener- al Hindenburg and the people seem to think that good climatic conditions alone are required to give him an overwhelming triumph.

READY
 TO OPEN WAR
EVERY MEASURE TAKEN TO MARCH AGAINST THE
 AUSTRIANS.

ROME, March 27. Every measure has now been taken by the Italian government and Italy is frily prepar- ed to take the field. The conditions in this city today are such that coming war seems to have cast its shadows before. The government has appar- ently failed in the effort to induce Austria to relinquish the territories inhabited by people of Italian nation ality. In spite of the fact that Aus tria is facing the Russian power in the east it has evidently determined to meet this country on Is south. There is still some hope here that the Austrian government will grant the Italian demands but the hope is only slight. Austrian forces continue to mass on the southern lorder Whether they will attempt to invade this country O. wait to oppose our in- vasion in the event of war cannot le told.

HOPE ABANDONED FOR
 AMERICAN SUBMARINE.
F-4 Given Up as a Total Loss With the Lives of all Her
 Crew.

HONOLULU, March 26.-The search to locate the submarine F-4 which sank off this harbor yesterday has failed and all hope has been abandoned. The cause of her failure to rise to the surface after submer- sion is a mystery. Some time, ago, before the war. a British submarine and her crew met their fate in exactly a similar manner and the cause has never been discovered. 1t can only be assumed that the machinery of the vessel failed to act when the attempt was made to rise to the surface and that the doomed crew was forced to await their doom helplessly on the floor of the ocean.

He was refer red to as the "junketing commission CT" and it was alleged that he secured information from only one side of the question relating to fisheries, and that was on the side of the fishing in- terests.

TENNESSEE ABOLISHES
 CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Will Not Hang Men for Murder but Will Do So For Criminal
 Assault.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 27.- The legislature has abolished capital punishment for all murders except for murder that might be committed by men who are already serving life sentences. Capital punishment will be legal for criminal assaults and this latter clause is meant to protect white women from the assaults of colored men. The clause to make capital punishment stand for life termers is, of course to prevent murder by those who cannot be sentenced to greater terms than they are already serving.
