PLflNT MAY BE STARTED. Premier Steel Works Will Prohahly De Operated by W. J. Carlin. .William J. Carlin, of Pittsburg, who pur chased the Premier steel works, of this city, at receiver's sale a short time ago. is in the city and there seems to be but little doubt that the plant will be opened and operated. Mr. Carlin says that unless something unforeseen occurs the plant will be started and will be fully operated. He believes the plant can be operated with profit, but the beginning of work has been delayed by the scarcity of raw material and by the immense amount of work necessary to get a plant ot such size in operation. If the mills are opened, Mr. Carlin says, a finished product will be turned out. Last evening Sir. Carlin said he could not make mora definite statements, as thera are to

many things to be considered. "I had honed

to have things started long Before tm. he said, "but you can't push people. If the Plant is ODened It will be increased and run on a larger scale than before." Smiley N. Chambers is attorney fcr Mr. carun ana ne said last evening he did not tnmic mere is any question but that the works will be started, but It reaulres more work than is commonly supposed to get the plant in shape. He said that at least six hundred men will be emDloved. Mr. Carlin. accord ing to Mr. Chambers, is absolutely Inde pendent and is not representing any person other than himself. He is not Identified with the Frick interests or with any trust, but will operate the riant on an independent basis and for himself alone. WILLING TO ARBITRATE.

BBSBBSSSSaSSaSMSBSSSBBHBBBBMSSSMSlSSSSSBBMBBBBBSBSBSi CAME AFTER HIS CHILD JACOB D. K EI PER FOLLOWED AN ELOPINti COUPLE TO THIS CITY, The Little One Wa. Found and the Father Will Return with Her to Altoona, fa. Jacob D. Keiper, a carbuilder employed in the Pennsylvania thops at Altoona, Pa., came here yesterday to secure the custody of his five-year-old daughter. Paulina Vivian Walter, who was carried away from Scran ton. Pa., by an eloping couple. According to the various stories told to the police here, the child was given Into the custody and control of Michael Walter when she was but a few months old. Walter Is a butcher, living at ScrantDn, and by hard work and good business methods had saved some $700 in addition to building a nice home and business place. A few months ago a trav eling painter, Nelson Parker, stopped in Scranton and became acquainted with Mrs. Walter. It was said he would visit her at her home and meet her and the child down town. She finally became so infatuated with him that two weeks ago they left Scranton together, taking with them the child adopt ed from Keiper. Mrs. Walter had all the household furniture packed and sent to Moravia, N. Y., and then reshlpped to Indianapolis and also drew the $700 belonging to her husband from the bank. The pair arrived in this city July 25 and took rooms on College avenue, near Thirteenth street. where they have since lived. Keiper, on learning that Mrs. Walter had eloped with Parker, Immediately began hunting for them, as he did not wish his child to be with them. lie learned that the household goods had been shipped to Moravia and then to Indianapolis. The police were not! fled and they succeeded in locating the couple. About that time Parker, it is said, went to Attorney Leyendecker, of this city. and told a story of having adopted the child and said ho expected the father would at tempt to take her from him. Leyendecker could not see how it could be done and he visited Superintendent Qulgley, faying that when necessary he would produce the peo ple and nght the case. Last night a conference was held at the police station. Parker, Mrs. Walter and Leyendecker all appeared umiling and con fident that they could beat Keiper. but were astonished when ho produced for the In spection of the superintendent a copy of the court's order granting the custody of the child to Michael Walter. Parker had been claiming to Leyendecker and to Superintendent Qulgley that he and his wife had adopted the girl and were rightfully entitled to ner. so iar as the child was concerned the matter was settled by being again placed under Kelner's care and control. The little one was taken by the matron to her rooms and Mrs. Walter accompanied her. saying that she had reared the child and did not like to part with it. It was not known last night whether or not Walter would prosecute the couple and they were therefore not placed under arrest. Mrs. Walter denied the story of having run away with Parker. She admits having left the place with him. but says she was driven away by her husband, who had mistreated her. She also said the furniture and the money in bank was her nronrty and she had a right to take it. She said it was her intention to remain in the city unless taken back to answer trial, after which she would return. Keiper said that all matters had been arranged satisfactorily and that the story would be kept from the newspapers. He will return to Altoona this mornlne with his child. GERMAN DAY CELEBRATION. Why the Social Tnrnvereln Will Not Participate. ' A committee of the Social Turnverein last evening gave out a statement setting forth the reasons for the position that organiza tion has assumed in Its opposition to a celebration of German day.. Those favoring the celebration made a statement of their side of the case several days ago and the statement given out yesterday evening was in reply to it. The statement says that on Oct. 7, 18S3, the two hundredth anniversary of the first German immigration was celebrated in many cities of the country and in this city. It was not at that time con templated that the festival should be made an annual affair and it was not until the fall of 1SS9 that the proposition to make it an annual celebration was made by some Germans of Philadelphia. The annual celebration was kept up but a few years and in but a few cities of the country. The strongest papers rrinted in the German language opposed making it an annual afrair and it was not indorsed by the Telegraph, of this city, while the Tribune op posed it strongly. The Social Turnverein de clared against such a celebration nubllclr by resolutions which were adopted in March. 1SS0. These resolutions declared that no reason for such an annual celebration could be seen. The resolutions continued: "It would be to Imitate the mistakes of others who seem to measure the value of their citizenship by their descent, or by the descent of their ancestors." The annual cel ebration was abolished, the statement says. because it was taken advantage of by professional politicians who attempted to secure the German vote. "It would be a poor showing for the Social Turnverein," the statement asserts, "If it did not stand by the convictions it has publicly expressed." It has been suggested that the celebration take place on Sept. 3 and this is construed by the Social Turnverein members as an attempt to make It also a celebration of the battle of Sedan, although the date is a day or two from the date of the battle. "This," says the statement, "proves beyond a doubt our statement that the day has not been set apart for the sole celebration of an event In American history." The 8oclal Turverein is leading the open fight in opposition to the celebration of the day. School Dnlldlns; Condemned. Secretary J. N. Hurty returned yesterday from Brownsburg, where he condemned a public school building. There is a difference of opinion regarding the building there as to whether it hall be torn down and a new one erected or whether it will pay to repair the present one. Dr. Hurty round that the building is very damp and unhealthy and it is improperly ventilated. The blackboards were glossy and were not the dead black. It would cost nearly as much to repair the present building as it would take to build a new one. Granted a Year's Extension. E. O. Hopkins, as receiver of the Peoria, Decatur A Evansville Railroad, was yes terday authorized to extend the time or a receiver's certificate for $13,017.64 for one year.

HONEYMOON AT BETHANY

COTTAGERS WELCOME A CRAW. FOUD8V1LLE I1III1JE AND GR003I. Camp Thrown Into a Tremor of Ex citement Acton Park Association . . Elects Officers. The cottacers at Bethany were thrown Into a tremor of excitement yesterday. It was all on account of the arrival of a bride and groom on the morning train. The hap py couple had been married the night before at CrawfordsvMe. and when they reached the hotel the groom signed in a proud hand, "Frank E. McCallp and wife." Naturally enough they did not seek the confidence of the camp, but there are some discerning people at Bethany, and soon the whole truth spread over the grounds like wildfire. The pair had selected Bethany of all the summer resorts as a suitable place to spend their honeymoon, and they will not regret this choice if the campers have their way about It. Arrangements were partially made last evening for serenading them, and it is proposed to show them other discreet attentions. As guests of the camp they outshone all others yesterday, and now that a pair has been brave enough to pioneer the way it Is expected that Bethany will eventually become a favorite resort for newly married people. The camp was more quiet yesterday than the day before and more attention was given to gossip end the social amenities of life. One party of young people climbed the summit of Mount Etna, which some people claim Is the second highest "peak" in the State. There is a reward in climbing to its top, for one can see a big stretch of beauti ful farm country. Some of those who have taken in the view have maintained that Bethany Park scenery rivals that of Switzerland itself. However, others are more modest in their declarations and satisfy themselves by exclaiming sotto voce, "Oh, how lovely! How beautiful!" and let It go at that. The state Sunday school convention began a three days' session in the morning. There was a good attendance. President J. 11. McNeil presided and made an address that gave much pleasure. The state evangelist. T. J. Legg, made an elaborate report of his work. He said the district work was in good condition and that the institutes are becoming more popular. In the last year forty-one new Sunday schools were organ ized, making a total of 75 schools in the State and embracing a membership of 100,000. As a result of his work ten Christian Endeavor societies have been formed and forty-six members added to the church. Every up-to-date school, the speaker said, has now at least two rallies a year. About the same number of Sunday schools contribute to the state work as to foreign missions, but the amount given to the state work is only one-third as much. The per capita contribution of 6 cents a pupil lor the state work netted $807.23. The board has reduced its Indebtedness from $157.76 to $72. Mr. Legg has traveled 14,811 miles during the year in carrying on his work. H. A. Turney, secretary of the Sunday school work, also made a report. Amos Clifford, the treasurer, was absent. A. B. Philputt made the fourth of his talks on Palestine in the morning, illustrating it with mounted pictures of the different scenes in the Holy Lard. A good audience was present. In the afternoon Evangelist T. J. Legg spoke on the preparation for teachers' meetings, after which followed a discussion on Sunday school muBlc A primary teachers' conference was alEo held, led by Mn;. M. A. Whistler. In the evening W. A. Foster, of Cincinnati, who was formerly the pastor of the Tabernacle of the Disciples in London. England, gave an Interesting. address on the subject -The Mistakes of the Multitude." Ho said that each generation had its craze. and cited numerous examples, including the witchcraft of Massachusetts, the South sea bubble, the tulip crare In Germany in 1600 and other peculiar aberrations of mind from which whole communities had suffered. The speaker brought out the idea that an Individual may be right and the multitude wrong, and that the people should think for themselves and not be swayed by every wind that blows. The following new arrivals are registered at the hotel: Frank E. McCallp and wife, Crawfordsville: O. O. Lewellen. Ida Belle Surrler, W. E. Avery, Frances Weaver, F. P. Smith, Will McHatten, W. G.

The weather was intensely hot at Acton yesterday, consequently it was a dull day in camp. The cottagers preferred to sit on wide verandas and fan themselves or He In a hammock under the trees in some shady place where it was cool than attend the meetings at the pavilion. The day was devoted to the W. C. T. U. work, as the two days previous had been. The morning devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. M. A. Colton, of Franklin, followed by a report of the progress and work of the Hadley Industrial School, by Mrs. Ella B. Wright, of Greensburg. Mrs. Wright reported thirty girls now in the school. She said that $$00 donated to the home some time ago, and a farm worth $4,000, in Fulton county, which was also donated, put the school in good condition. Mrs. A. T. Whitson, state treasurer of the.W. C. T. U.. of Indianapolis, who was to have read a paper on "Indiana Normal Institutes," was prevented from attending the meeting, and Miss Sears, of Anderson, read the paper instead. In the afternoon Prof. Monroe Vahlnger, of Moore's Hill College, addressed a good-sized audience and delivered both an instructive and interesting lecture. The afternoon devotions were led by Mrs. Crooks, of Greensburg. Several new cottagers moved in yesterday and It is expected that many more will come to-day to be in attendance at the Holiness camp meeting, which will begin this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. B. Carradlne, D. D., of St. Louis, Mo., will speak. Rev. C. J. Fowler will talk this evening. The National Holiness Camp Meeting Association has always had an annual camp meeting in Indiana, usually In the neighborhood of New Albany. But this year it was thought that larger crowds could attend by having It located more centrally, and it is rumored that if the meeting this season is a success, as It promises to be, the National Holiness Association may purchase the Acton grou.ids for its own use, if such a thing could be accomplished. Rev. C. W. Ruth, of Indianapolis, is superintending the meeting this season, and he said yesterday that every cottage on the Acton camp grounds would be occupied and tents would probably have to be erected to accommodate the people. The object of such a meeting Is to advocate the doctrine of Christian holiness or entire sanctlficatlon, as a subsequent experience to regeneration, as taught by the Wesleys and the Scripture. This will be the tneme or every service, and tne association is anticipating gracious results. People are expected to attend from all the surrounding States. Among the workers are mentioned Rev. C. J. Fowler. D. D.. of Haverhill, Mass., and Rev. Hyron J. Reese, an evangelist, of Fall River, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harris and M. J. Harris, of Vermont. 111., singers of national reputation, and members of the National Holiness Association, have been engaged and came yesterday to take charge of the muelc.

William Jones, who was arrested with Nellie Berger Wednesday and brought to this city, was taken to Michigan City yes terday morning for safe keeping. He felt that he would be lynched if he were taken to Rochester and he begged his captors to protect him from the violence of the mob which he expected would meet him when the train passed through Rochester.
