MILLER TABERNACLE
CROWDED To DOORS
Attendance at Opening Service
Equals Half of Mechanics
burg's Population

Mechanicsburg, Pa. Jan. II. - II
the crowd at the tabernacle last night
was an indication of what may be
expected during the coming weeks,
the the building will be inadequate
| to accommodate the throngs. Every
inch of available space was occupied
at the opening proper of the service
in the Miller evanEelistic campaign,
and when one considers that the build
ing seats approximately one-half of
the population of Mechanicsburg that
is going some. The interest and en-
thusiasm is beyond the most sanguine
expectations. The choir of almost 500
voice. with Professor Hohgatt's train
ing, is an inspiration. The singing by
the tabernacle octet" and Miss Cree
and Professor Hohgatt produced a
deep impression.
When the Rev. Mr.. Miller stepped
to the platform and introduced the
members of the party, he said he never
had the royal, warm hearted welcome
accorded him any place that Mechan-
icSburg gave him when he arrived on
Saturday. The crowd at the station
swarmed over the entire space and
several hundred children cheered ana
yelled their welcome, escorting the
party to their home, while here. Pre-
sent your bodies, a living sacrifice
holy, acceptable unto God" was the
text from which the Rev. Mr.. Miller
poured the truth into the ears Of q
most attentive audience. The timer
airy for to-day for advertising the
campaign in an auto trip, was Hoges-

DWELLING HOUSE
DYNAM|TED AT YORK
Terrific Explosion Skaters Build
ing in Which Eleven Per-
sons Were CHARTERED

York, Pa, Jan. 11.-For the second
time within few months another
house has been dynamited in York.
Shortly after midnight Saturday the
residence of George Wood, colored,
at 647 East King street, was the scene
OF an explosion and the damage which
resulted is even greater than that
which attended the explosion at the
home of Nick Morello. early in No
vember, and for which four Italians
are on trial in court at the present
time.
Eleven persons were in the Woods
home at the time of the explosion and
1t is considered remarkable that none
of them was injured. They included
Wood and his wife and their seven
small children. Mrs. King Brown, and
Gil Balm, both of whom were board
ing with Woods.
King Brown. husband of the wo-
man living in the house, is being
sought by the police. 1t is said that
Brown, who Is estranged from his
wife. was in tfe neighborhood before
the explosion.
The Woods home is a complete
wreck. The stick of dynamite or dyna-
mite boom was evidently planted in
the cellar directly under the kitchen.
1t tore an immense hole right through
the center of the house, which, being
frame dwelling was easily torn as
sunder by the force of the explosion.
Persons living ten squares away from
the scene and who were asleep were
awakened by the detonation.

THIEVES STEAL WHISKY
Rob Distillery and Take Chickens,
Hams. Lard and Sausage

Waynesboro. Pa. Jan. 11.-Thieves
were again busy not far from Waynes-
boro early Saturday morning. They
broke into two places and secured con-
siderable loot. At the farm of Peter
Newcomer, southwest of town, they
first entered the smokehouse and pro-
cured some sausage. They then en-
tered the residence and carried off two
fifty-pound cans of lard, four very
large hams and several other articles
a few weeks ago thieves stole twenty
chickens from Mr.. Newcomer and
upon two other occasions they stole
his buggy, harness, overcoat and u
number of other articles.
The Ringle distillery, near RouZer-
vile. was also broken into by robbers,
who broke open a cupboard and got
s15 in cash and number of gallon
jugs filled with the best liquor in
stock. Then they started to bore their
way from the retail room to the office.
but abandoned this and forced open
the door. In the office they took Mr..
Coons hunting coat and a quantity of
cartridges and a revolver belonging to
Jerome Fitz.
