A NEW "CHUBCII DEDICATED

Fin;t Service of the Third Christian Congregation in Its New Buildicg. teonej Enongh Raised to Fajifor the StructureThe Dedicatoij Sermon of Kev. Sweeney Other Church Services. The new Third Christian Chorcb, st the corner f Home avenue and Ash street, was dedicated yesterday moroinc The, building ia a handsome brie truetore, capable of seating 800 persona. It baa three dirisions, embracing a large vestibule, the main audience-room and the choir. The e- jle of the arcbitectore is Romanesque. The prevailing tints are sky-blue and Indian red. The auditorium ia uearly a square. The rostrum is a Semi-circle around which the seats are arranged in circular form. The floor inclines -in very direotion, affording an unobstructed view of all the seats. Thereof ia of open timber, supported by four wood columns. The vestibule extends the full width of the church, and forma the reception room. All the windows are of stained glass. Two of the three large semicircular windows are memorial. The east window Is in memory of Mrs. Hannah Beeler, and was furnished by Mian Emily Fleteber and Dr. Wagner. The west window was furnished by tbe church as a testimonial to Mrs. Hannah McVey. Tbe candelabra on the newels and all the fixtures are of polished brass. A portiere is substituted for the partition between the vestibule and the auditorium, while the railing about the eallery. instead of being wooden, consists of a double-barred nickel-plated railing with drapery of tbe prevailing tint In addition to the chandelier pendant from the groined arch there are forty-eight gas globes on the four central and two end arches. These make a very pretty effect when lighted. Tbe entire church is frescoed. The ceiling ia celestial blue, dotted with gold figures. A new pipe organ ia to be placed in position in a few weeks. There was but one feature in connection with the dedicatory exercises that caused regret, and that was tbe absence, on account of sickness, of the regular pastor, Rev. D. R. Van Buskirk. It ia largely through bis efforts that the church baa been built. In bis absence the services were conducted by the Rev. Zaebariah Sweeney. After a song by the choir and an opening prayer by Rev. Dr. Brown, Mrs. Ora Pearson sang, in an impressive manner, "Through Peace to Light" Mr. Sweeney then preached from tbe text found in Romans i, 16. There is nothinp, lie said, that seizes so strongly the human mind as the manifestation of power. It is the moving force of the universe. One analyzes tbe physical manifestation of power and classifies it into beat, light and electricity, but above these is a power greater than all. It is the power of love, as shown in tbe gosDel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This power is Qod's infallible remedy for ignorance and sin. That it is thejdestroyer of ignorance and the safeguard of liberty cone can deny. Where there is no pospel there are despotism and tyranny. The highest form of political liberty is found, first, among the English-speaking Protestant nations; second, in non-English-speaking Protestant national third, in Catholic nations; fourth, in Mohammedan nations, and lastly, among pagan nations. This shows how liberty has always followed tbe introduction of religion. The power of tbe gospel is manifested in another way. Tbe actuating principle of all governments before the time of Christ was that Eiieht makes rieht Christ was the first to teach that men should beat their awords into ploughshares and pruning-hooks, and that the meek shall inherit tbe earth. How truly has His prophecy been realized. Formerly weak children were exposed to death; now they are cured. Formerly the insane were regarded as bavins devils and were shut up in caves: cow they are provided with grand asylums. The aged and infirm were looked upon as burdens upon tbe household; now they constitute its charm. Hundreds of benevolent institutions over the land show in what manner the meek have inherited the earth. But the sweetest of all powers in the gospel is its saving power. Why have love, why bave the brotherhood of man, why have liberty. If it is not going to be immortal! These earthly blessings are but for a day, and fail to satisfy the yearnings for an eternity in which life shall be forever glorified with these blessings. At tbe conclusion of the sermon it was announced that tbe completion of the bnilding bad entailed an expenditure of more money than bad been calculated, and subscriptions to complete the deficit were called for. A. W. Johnson, Daniel Thornton and George Snyder headed the list with $300 each. To these amounts were added $150 from William Cocbran, $100 from Dr. M. H. Field, and smaller subscriptions, from $50 to $5, from a cumber of others, .until the amount raised waa $2,266, making more than was needed to clear expenses. The entire coat of the building was between ten and. eleven thousand dollars all or which has now been raised. After the subcription had been eompleted, Mrs. U. J. Hammond favored the audience with a solo entitled, ' One Sweet Lisp." The following was adopted by a rising vote of the congregation: ' "On this first day of the new year, and also the first that we occupy this our new bouse of ; worship, we reel that the exercises of this occasion would be incomplete without we. as a con gregation, in some appropriate manner express our feelings toward one wbo has so success tally and faithfully miuiatered unto our spiritual welfare during tne last three and half years; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the 350 members and many friends of this congregation hereby express their love for and appreciation of our beioved pastor, D. R. Van Buskirk. We honor and esteem him for bis earnest Christian work, which has greatly strengthened and built us up; and we here and now pledge ourselves anew to aid him as best we can to carry on the great work of our Master. To Brother Van Buskirk's efforts is largely due the erection of this beautiful church home, and our prayer to God is that bis life may be prolonged and cheered on to greater usefulness." During the service last evening $211 was raised for tbe purchase of tbe new orean, making tbe total for that purpose $500, and the subscription to tbe church building fund was increased $25. Elder Sweeney will preach in the new church to-morrow eight at 7:30. City Attorney Taylor's Good Work. During the year City Attorney Taylor has defended damage suits against the city involving $00,000, and in every instance secured a favorable verdict. Tbe widow of fireman Taffe, killed at the public scales on North street, some months ago, was paid $1,000, but she brought no suit Two other cases tried ia former years have been affirmed by the Supreme Court as against the city. in the costs of suits of this character the city bears a loss whether the verdict is for or against it. It is obliged to pay all costs in suits of this character. There are comnlaints for damages still pending, which ask for Judgments aggregating $220,000, They are based on accidents, street ope nines and damages to property. Of the amount, $100,000 represents loss which the complainants allege tbey sustained by overflows of Pogue's run, particularly in 18S2 and 1S83. Where the city has been a codefendant with real estate owners in damage euits the past year, the city attorney succeeded in throwing the jugments against the latter; and in other instances of like nature where litigation waa threatened be has prevailed upon the real estate owners to settle, thus relieving the city. Quite a large amount of money has been recovered on old street assessments that bave lain dormant for years. .' A Public- Fow.wow of Ked Mon. Hiawatha, Minnewa and Red Cloud "tribes, of the Improved Order of Red Men, will hold a joint invitation public installation of officerselect for the next ensuing tsrm at their wigwam tn Griffith's Block.

Henry Habeney, George Brinkmeyer and Fred Sanders were placed in nomination for tbe office. The ladles section of the society made arrangements for a ball, to be held at Mozart Hall, oa Tuesday, Jan. 17.

A WOMAN'S DETECTIVE WORK. Persistent Efforts of Wm. A. Kennedy's Sister to Prove Ilis Innocence of Harder. If Wm. A. Kennedy, serving a life sentence ia tbe southern prison for the murder of David Baker three years ago at Greensburg, is released, it will be through the efforts of his sister Katie. Tbe night after Kennedy was convicted his sister says a man called at bar mother's bouse in Cincinnati, and told her that he knew who killed Baker, as be waa at Greensburg at tbe time, but be would not give the name of tbe murderer. The man left before she recovered from her surprise, but the next morning at breakfast she astonished her father and other members of the 'household by telling them that she intended leaving for Indiana. She said she was going to spend the balance of her life in proving, her brother's innocence. That eight found her in Greensbure, and from that time until Friday last Miss Kennedy has worked night and day. Some weeks ago Miss Kennedy went to Gov. Gray, when she showed bim new evidence of ber brother's innocence. A few weeks prior to this visit she says she was present in a dive at Dayton, O . when a plot was concocted to murder a certain crook who, it was believed, had been a stooi-pigeon for the deteetivee, with a view of saving the real murderer from Cincinnati. She has confessions, she claims, from four witnesses who were paid to perjure themselves on the witness stand. She also has affidavits from all the jurors except one, to the effect that the evidence against her brother was cot sufficient to warrant a conviction, and that public sentiment had more to do with it than evidence. She did all her detective work in male attire, and once in Dayton, 0.,was arrested. In this eity, she states, she was almost crowded to the wall by several thieves, who followed ber from place to place, until at last, knowing her life to be in danger, she was forced to enter the government building and throw herself on tbe mercy of a government official She told ber story and was locked up in a room for protection. " During her travels and intermingling with criminals Miss Kennedy became acquainted with many robberies that were about to occur, but did not interfere. The same eight that she beard in Dayton. O.. of tbe plan to murder a thief she also learned of a plan to rob the postoffice at Attica, Ind. She said nothing, but permitted it to come off. The thieves left no clews behind, bat to their surprise, a few days later, tbey were arrested, and a lot of bonds stolen from the postoffice were found in Dayton. One of them was brought here, where he was tried and convicted. Miss Kennedy is twenty-five years of age, and is said to bave a collegiate education. She will shortly visit her brother, whom she has not seen during the years she has devoted to bis service. OBJECT TO PAYING ADVANCE MONEY. A Hitch in the Washington Club's Deal for Gardner, ot the Uoosier Team. A Washington special to the Journal says that in the course of a column of local base-ball gossip yesterday's Post had this to say of the Indianapolis players: "Now that Paul Hines has left us, the diamond at the National Park will have to be s hifted a little more westward. It was originally given an eastern start to allow Paul to knock out home-run bits over the leftfield fence. Hines's contract with Indianapolis being signed, sealed and delivered, the question now arises what is the status of the GardnerWashington deal? The Iloosier management, in a recent communication to President Young, states that Gardner is prepared to sign with Washington, the only hitch beinir as to the amount of advance money tbe Wabhlugtons will put up. The details of this case, briefly stated, are that Gardner is to be released to Washington in part exchange for Hines, the former to receive $1,900 ealarv. According to the terms of the agreement, if Gardner declines to sign with Washington, or should the Indianapolis club refuse to release him, then the latter organization ia pledged to pay the Washington club $1,000; on the other hand, if Washington refuses to accept Gardner's services at the sum above mentioned, they forfeit their claim to the r'ayerandthe money consideration, and GardD r iemains on the reserve list of the Indianapolis club. The Washington club are not inclined to put ont any advance money, but indications are that terms will be agreed upon at an early day." THE CITY'S NEW SERVANTS. The Change in the Municipal Offices and Legislative Bodies That Takes Place To-Day. To-day Mayor Denny begins his second term, and John W. Bowlus takes charge of the city clerk's office, with Harvey Stout, Michael W. Toomey and Wm. W. Waldon as his assistants. The latter secures a place as a representative of the colored people. To night the new Council and Board of Aldermen will be organized. Of tlie f ormer body the Mayor is presiding officer by virtue of his office, and as vice-president, John R. Pearson will be elected as the Republican caucus nominee. In the Board of Aldermen the Republican majority will elect Granville S. Wright as president and Miles W. Reynolds as vice-president. Both the Mayor and Mr. Wright will have their committees prepared for announcement this evening. The first business of importance for the new'Council is to provide for a temporary loan of $30,000 with which to meet the January appropriations. Last year thi3 amount of the $100,000 loan was paid off, but the present January interest of $62,000 on the city's bonded indebtedness sent to New York on Wednesday last has reduced the available ca?h to about $16,000. Ihe appropriations will call for 840,000, but during the month it is expected the city will receive considerable from miscellaneous sources. Deatli of Rev. J. T. Robe. Rev. J. T. Robe died yesterday morning, at his borne in Kalamazoo, Mich., in the eightyfirst year of his age. For many years he lived in Indiana, and was an effective minister of the Methodist Church. Removing to Michigan, he became a member of the Michigan Conference and was one of tbe leading members of that conference nntil the time of his superannuation. He bas been an invalid for a long period, but the attack which immediately resulted in his death seized him only about one week ago. An elder brother, Rev. John Robe, died but a short time ago, at bis residence near Greenwood, in this State. Mr. Robe lived to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage to a sister of Rev. G. H. and Mr. William McLauehhn. who survives him, together with three children, a son and daughter, residents of Kalamazoo, and Mrs. W. II. Smith, of this city, who was with ber father at bis death. Mr. Robe was well known to the older citizens of the city and State, and they will bear of bis decease with sincere regret, if not with surprise. The funeral services will be held on Tuesday at Kalamazoo. Was Faith in the New Grand Jury. Superintendent Travis, at police roll-call last evening, gave the patrolmen instructions to begin taking the names of all persons seen frequenting saloons after legal hours, for presentation to tbe new grand jury, which meets to-day. "I have faith in the jury, and I believe it will assist in enforcing the law against the saloonkeepers who have been defying it," said Superintendent Travis. . "I know several of the members of the jury, and they are men on whom we can depend for assistance." New Xear'e Visits by Thieves. Thieveii continue to annoy residents in every portion of tbe city. Saturday night Ue residences of Charles Jenkins and Fred Meier, on Woodlawn avenue, were burglarized, and some silverware and clothing taken. Yesterday afternoon a thief made bis way into the City Hospital and stole a watch belonging to one of the patients. He was seen going out, but was not captured. He is known to tbe police. Last evening a $40-overcoat was stolen from tbe Baltimore restaurant, .on West Washington street. If you bave catarrh, use the surest remedy Dr. Sage's.

LOWELL AS A DIPLOMATIST

Significant Information About His Life Abroad from'Col. J. A. BridslandY His Free-Trade Ideas the Cesnlt of Influences Surrounding Him While Representing" the American GoTernment'in England. James Russell Lowell's laudation of President Cleveland and bis message, at tbe dinner of the Massachusetts Tariff Reform League in Boston, last week, has caused such comment among those conversant with his diplomatic career as to severely contrast it with that of other American ministers. While Mr. Lowell represented this country in England, CoL John A. Bridgland was the American consul at Havre. The latter was in a position to observe closely what he freely told in an interview yesterday. On one occasion he did the American minister a personal service in providing for Mrs. Lowell's eomfortable passage from Havre to Sonibampon one of the steamers of the Southampton Steamship Company. As the lady was very ill and unable to walk, her husband desired the consul to make arrangements for ber comfort on deck. This was done, and Colonel Bridgland, in addition, prompted by the courtesy of the old school, saw that the lady was surrounded with everything that would enhance the pleasure of the voyage, but he heard nothing of ber safe arrival in England until several days afterwards, and then only indirectly. "Mrs. Lowell, on account of her ill n ess." the Colonel continued, "was cot domiciled in London, but her husband placed her in the country while he remained in the city. This, of course, gave him an opportunity to receive all sorts of club attention which heprobably could not have accepted had Mrs. Lowell been with bim. It was sot long until the Cobden Club was a very favorite resort of bis, and I believe the first seeds of un-Americanism and love for English royalty were sown in his heart in that place so antagonistic to American manufactures. He certainly could not have been up to that time a free-trader, as his State, and in fact all of New England were the great manufacturing States of our country, but he found it agreeable flattery when the sympathizers with tbe free-trade Democratic party of the United States were endeavoring to induce him to forget the grand prosperity of his own native State, the result of great genius and industry in manufacturing everything we had hitherto imported from Great Britain." "What do you think of his present position regarding the Republican and Democratic parties f 'I think he is anxious to return to his old haunts in England. He knows, however, that if we should elect a Republican President this year, with his free-trade ideas he could cot hope to be returned by the great protective-tariff Republican party, that has made bim all tbat he is. He perhaps believes that President Cleveland maybe his own successor. By indorsing-not only his free-trade message to Congress, but by going clear outside to place bim over the head of every President that bas served the country from the immortal Lincoln's time to this, he may receive the appointment, be could not receive from the Republican party. I would ask Mr. Lowell or any of bis friends to tell me what measure of importance during-all the years he was accredited to the court of St. James be found time to accomplish' Did he accomplish a treaty on international commerce? Did he eret throueh the extradition treaty both for Great Britain and Canada we so much need? Has he done any thine worthy of the hi eh diplomatic position he held? No. He was flattered by the lords of wealth and position who had the financial responsibility of Great Britain on their shoulders. They saw their manufacturing and agricultural interests passing away. They saw that we were doubling the acreage under the plow; that we were manufacturing goods from more bales of cotton than we bad produced annually up to I860. They saw that we had received from them as hieh us $260,000,000 in gold as . balance of trade in our favor in one year. They knew that . we - had ! received $1,400,000,000 balance of trade in seventeen years, and tbat there was nothing left for them but to capture such mon as Mr. Lowell, and to use them in breaking down the manufacturing and agricultural interests of our country. These smart English people have not only captured our President and the Democratic party, but Mr. Lowell and the like with him. How a man of such intelligence as Mr. Lowell can desert the party that bas made tbe old world jealous of our country, and tbe ablest financiers so annoyed at our financial condition as to believe tbat tbe treasury reports are false, is something beyond imagination." "Did yon know Mr. E. B. Wasbburne when he was minister to Paris?" "Very well, indeed; not only be, but his charming family. Of all the men who have represented our government abroad be was one of the most useful and patriotic I was accredited to Havre as consul in 1873. and upon going to Paris to look after my exequatur, he treated me as if he bad known tne always, and welcomed me into our foreign service in France. One or two gentlemen were with me when I made my first visit to tbe legation, and after the formalities of introduction, if. formalities they were. he asked". us all to sign his book, a register he kept for American visitors. . If there ever was a book of this kind at the American legation in London, while Mr. Lowell was minister, I never waw or heard of it. The. average American calling at his legation rarely ever met bim, but was entertained by bis subordinates. The truth is, Mr. Lowell became an Englishman and Washbarne continued an American patriot and a credit to his country.. If we have to send such men as Mr. Lowell to represent ns abroad, we had better abolish the diplomatic foreign service altogether." . MIXOIl CITY MATTERS. To-Days Doings.

The Atkins saw-works have just closed one of the most prosperous years in the history of the establishment. ; During the year they have employed on an average 223 bands, and much of the time bave been so crowded with orders tbat they were obliged to work over-time. Dean Bros, bave shipped an air pump for agitating oils to Houston, Tex. They have an unusual rush of business, and. this week shipped tbeir steam pumps to Buffalo, N. Y.; Keokuk, Ia.; Los Cerrilcs, N. M.; Baltimore, Md.; Port Huron, Mich.; Columbus, Ga., and Mount Vernon, O. Last year the Indianapolis Stove Foundry Company turned out. in round cumbers, 11,000 stoves, using 10,000.000 pounds of iron. The company are preparing to enlarge their works and increase their production one-third. The business last year was the largeut since their foundry was established. ' The stock of ice at the close of the season last year was the lightest in any of tbe last ten years preceding. One of the largest dealers says: "If we bave six weeks of cold weather, and packing ice is carried on to greater extent than last year, the ice-dealers will enter the coming summer with less ice in store than they had on March 1, 1837 The 500-barrel roller mill and elevator, which is being erected In Auckland. New Zealand, by tbe Nordyke & Marmon Company, is nearing completion, and Nordyke & Marmon's miller has left here to start it in operation. Their season now is equal 10 June here. C. E.

The wholesale millinery house of Griffith Bros., of this city, and their house at Dayton, O.. have consolidated, the latter, the parent house, established in 1863, removing totbis city. It was at first contemplated to move tbe Dayton house to Cincinnati, but on considering tbe advantages likely to coma to Indianapolis through natural gas it was thought that this would be the better point The Woodburn-Sarven wheel-works in round numbers manufactured 138.000 sets of wheels during tbe year 1887. Tbe works ran the steadiest of any year in their history, and produced the largest number of wheels. There have been years, however, when they bave made more money, as competition they had to meet was less. About one-third of their production goes abroad. The Indianapolis cabinet-works begin the new year with larze foreign orders. The orders which they now bave will require the entire product of the veneer and panel department for the vear 1888. In the year 1887 they turned out 3.000 more desks than in 18S6. In the year 1887 tlisTr na.rl 7r flftfl nnnnria rt frltif. In napkin? desks over 200,000 pounds of excelsior and 50, 000 yards of burlaps were used. The growth of the roasting of coffees in Indianapolis bas been remarkable, said one of tbe largest wholesale grocers on Saturday. Five years ago there were three establishments roasting coffees, probably turnine out 1.000,000 pounds of roasted coffees per annum. In 1887 there were seven establishments thus engaged, four of them large concerns, and the seven establishments turned out. over 6,000,000 pounds of roasted coffees. In fact, there is but little sale any more of green coffees. Since Nov. 1 the Indianapolis packinghouses have killed 251,000 bogs, against 258,000 dunce the corresponding period in 18S6. Landers & Co. kilVsd' 19.000; Coffin, Greenstreet & Fleteher 2S,00i. and Kingan & Co. 204.000. The hogs slaughtered this year bave averaged 240 pounds, against 255 last year. The decrease shown is dun to the shortage of the hog crop, bogs having been shipped in herefrom a ereater distance than in any previous year to make the cumber killed as great as it is.

Crust for Chicken Pie Three cupfuls of flour, one tablespoonf ui of butter, one tablespoonf ul of lard, one teaspoonful of soda, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar (or, if it be preferred, the two latter ingredients may be omitted and baking powder used instead), one saltspoonful of salt, milk enough to make a soft dough.

Winter Salad This is composed of boiled beets and carrots, raw celery, onions, and cabbage, white or red. Cut the beets, carrots and celerv in very small pieces and shred the cabbage. To half a pint of each add one small onion chopped very fine. It should, like Sidney Smith's onion, "unsuspected. animate the whole." Mix all well together, add half a teaspoonful of ground cloves, salt ana pepper to taste and moisten the whole with cold vinegar. If a salad dressing is preferred, make a mayonnaise, or n on is uui uneu. ubo uj iur lowine recipe: One teaspoonful of dry mustard, half a teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, one scant cupful of milk, half a cupful of weak vinegar, (if strong dilute it witn water), two ctres.

Set the bowl on top of the boiling tea kettle and stir until tne mixture tnicxens use custard. When cold pour it over the salad. The bones of a well-bred, well-fed hog are said to present only about one-twentieth part of his gross weight. An animal of this nature must necessarily carry a great deal of fat, but the importance of making it well muscled to keep it from complete degeneracy is self-evident to any thoughtful person; hence, inasmuch as the natural tendency of the hog is to fat, feeders should make it a point to counteract the evil by using the most nutritious feed to the exclusion of fat-forming food. Dogs seldom attack sheep kept with cattle, unless in the case of some old rogue, and then only when the sheep are found at a considerable distance. No remedy equals Salvation Oil for cure of bruises, cuts, burns frostbites and chillblains. SOCIKTY MEETISG8. MASONIC CENTER LODGR. NO. 23, F. & A. M.
