The storm is qaite general and especially heavy east, all west bound trains being more or less late on on account of it. An item to the effect that II. 11.

He will be returned to LongclilTe. The Elkhart Review eays: "Steuben county is now without a saloon. That shows what local option can do when public sentiment is in favor of the abolition of the saloon. And Steuben county is not the most benighted and unprogreseing one in the state, as some people say a community will become when liquor cannot be had. A teilet outfit consisting of a looking glass, comb and brush was on Sunday placed in every cell occupied by a convict at the prison North. Some of the men had these articles, having either purchased them or received them from friends, and these were taken up and will be kept by the authorities until the convict owning them i3 released. Now all will have uniform outfits and Warden Shideler intends that they shall fee used. There is talk at Tipton of converting one of the rooms in the basement of the court house into a waiting room for farmers who may be compelled to remain in town a few hours. It is proposed to heat the room and make arrangement whereby people from the country may eat their dinner there. Such an arrangement would surely tend to make the farmers friendly toward the town of Tipton and it could be imitated by other towns to advantage. The fair held by the ladies of the German church at the opera house last evening was, as are all the enterprises undertaken by those ladies, a huge success. The number of suppers served and the number in attendance at the musical entertainment were large. There were about 270 tickets sold for the supper and the net resources of the evening were about 100. A most inviting Bupper was served and after all had eaten of it a social time was had until the program was given. This consisted of a Tocal solo and also a flute eolo by I'rof. Frank, of South Rend, a Tocal solo by Mrs. Hertha McDonald

All the selections were well received by the andience and indeed they merited it. The baritone voice of Mr. Frank is one of pleasing richness and it delighted his listeners. The great success which was made of the affair was a litting reward fir the untiring efforts of the ladies who carried it through. J. A. Hartman and John Y. Slick, of South Rend, had a narrow escape this morning from being run ovar by a train on the Pittsburgh at the Center street crossing. They had hired one of Vanschoiack's teams and had left the Ross house for a drive into the country. The horses were very much under the inlluence of the t-harp air and were trotting along at a brisk rate. Neither of the men noticed the crossing tender but when he began calling and motioning to them to stop, the horses gave a spring and crossed the track just ahead of a swiftly running east bound freight.

AT THE CIII'RC'IIKS.

rilKSBYTEKIAN CIIUKCH. The sermon Sunday morning was from Ps. 48: 12-11, and was a consideration of some of the evidences of Christianity. In the early centuries no man was born a christian. If he became one at all, it was in opposition to the prejudices of education, to the ties of kindred, to motives of self interest and ottn at the sacrifice of reputation and life. This no man would do without the strongest reasons perceived and assented to by his own mind. Rut now men are born nominally christians. They take the truths of Christianity lor granted, troubling themselves neither to call it in question nor to examine it. This is unfortunate. Man should be able to give a reason tor the faith that is in him. God asks no man to believe without evidence, but has taken pains to furnish him with an abundance of it. Conscience, reason, the senses, memory, to say nothing of the testimony of an external character, all prove the reality of the religion of Jesus. Ry a superabundance of evidence of the most trustworthy nature, it is 6hown that Christ is the only perfect teacher, the only perfect example, the only one worthy to be loved and obeyed, the only just judge and the only Savior of men. "The punishment of Gehazi, Elisha's unfaithful servant," was the subject of the evening 6ermon. The points were made that it is dangerous to fail to use or purposely to abuse precious spiritual privileges, that sin is certain of detection, and that one invariably leads to another. There was an increase in the attendance at the Sunday-school. The meetings of the Endeavor socities were not only exceedingly well attended but were very interesting and helpful as well. Arrangements are being perfected to make the services next Sunday the most delightful the church has known in years. A Christmas sermon will be preached at 10:30 and much special appropriate music will be furnished by the choir. The Sunday-school will have a special program with music, &c, and the Endeavor societies are preparing something extra. The evening eervices will be in charge of the Sunday-school, at which an interesting Christmas can tata will be given. UNITED ItKKTHKEN. The morning theme was based upon Prov. 1: 23, "Keep thy heart with all diligence." The heart of man is by nature carnal and this carnality is often shown in human conduct. The heart needs to be cleansed and when that is done it is to be kept clean. As a help to keeping it clean we should keep it occupied with what is good. We should see to it that envy, anger, malice, re venge and all idols are kept out and that the word of (Jod, the love of God, and the spirit of God abide there. For the evening service the sermon was omitted and a musical program was rendered in part by the DeMoes family and in part by the choir and congregation. The young people's meeting was ably led by Miss Savage. There is great activity in the Sundayschool in making preparations for Christmas. The Christmas program will be rendered next Sunday evening. M. E. CIIUKCH. The services at the Methodist church Sunday were inspiring and helpful throughout the day. The congregations were very large at all the eervices. Rev. Frank W. Gee, the conference evangelist, preached to the delight of the people at the morning service. Frank was formerly a Plymouth boy and was licensed to preach by this church, and hie many friends were pleased to meet him and hear him preach. In the evening the pastor preached a sermon to young men from Prov. 20: 29, "The glory of young men is their strength." The lesson of the text, that the glory of young men consists in their ability to successfully meet the responsibilities of life. Only those who are physically, intellectually and morally strong are able for these things. The sermon was an earnest plea for an intelligent and moral generation of young men. The responsibility for the maintenance of republican institutions, and the solution of the great political, social and religious questions of the incoming century rests with the young manhood of the country. The Sunday-school and Epworth League were largely attended and full of interest. The choir rendered "Just as I Am" in a most effective manner at the morning service, and the duet at the evening service by Mr. K. F. and Miss Carrie Rrooke was very pleasing to nil. ST. PAUL'S KKFOKMED CIIUKCH. The Sunday-school elected ollicers Sundayas follows: Supt., Mrs. Maxey; Asst. Supt., N. V. Hoover; Sec'y. and Asst. Sec'y. Hertha Garver and Anna Keyer; librarians, Earl Wilkison and Walter Keyser; Treas., Jesse Zehner; Organist, Ethel Yockey; Supt. of Home Dep't. and Asst., Edith Hoover and Mrs. Vangilder. The morning service was appropriate to the season in a consideration of Matt. 2: 2. The time for meeting of the Junior C. E. S. has been changed from four o'clock to three Sunday afternoon. Miss Mabel Maxey led the prayer service of the senior society. Sunday-school Christmas service Saturday night. Christmas sermon Sunday morning. ST. THOMAS UIUKCII. Good services and a blooming Sunday-school Sunday. The choir did extra good work. The Christ eve festival is to be at 4:30 p. m. on Sunday next. The principal service of Christ-mass is the celebration of the Holy Communion at 10:30 a. m. on Christmas day.
