UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CONGREGATION DECIDES ON THE DATE.

DR. ALEXANDER GILCHRIST Will Preach Dedicatory Sermon D. G. Reid Expected to Attend With Many Other Guests.

At a mooting of 1 lie congregation of the United Presbyterian church last night, it was decided to dedicate the Reid Memorial church Sunday, May 13. The first step looking toward the dedicatory exercises, which will be very elaborate were taken and many committees were named to take charge of the work. The board of elders is to be the executive committee but assisting it will be numerous committees on program, music, entertainment, decoration and such. TJie dedicatory exercises will extend over the belter part of a week but the exact nature of them has not been fully determined. It has been decided, however, to have Dr. Alexander Gilchrist of Pittsburg, formerly pastor at the United Presbyterian church here, to deliver the dedicatory sermon. Many prominent members of the church from over the country will be in attendance at the exercises, and it is thought that Daniel 0. Reid, whose liberal donations made the church possible, will also be here. The congregation through its building committee was assured last night that every detail of the church's V construction will be completed by the first week in. May and there will be nothing in the nature of incompleteness to mar the occasion of dedication. Following (he formal opening of the church, it will be the scene of the Presbyterian General Assembly which corresponds to the Friends' Yearly Meeting. At this meeting which lasts a week there will be between three hundred ami three hundred and fifty delegates from all parts of the United States. In addition to these there will be missionaries from many foreign lands. Arrangements for the entertainment of these delegates and missionaries were provided for last night by the appointment of committees who will look after their welfare while in the city.

TWENTY-TWO YEARS MISS FITZGERALD HAS SERVED THE LOCAL COMPANY. Matron at Pennsylvania Station Has Seen Many Comic and Tragic Incidents. Miss Maggie Fitzgerald, the matron at the Pennsylvania Station, will this year celebrate the twentysecond anniversary of her connection with the railroad. Probably no other depot matron on the Pennsylvani Lines has been with the company as long as has Miss Fitzgerald and probably few are better known to the traveling public, especially the women and children. When Miss Fitzgerald took her position with the railroad, G. W. Cartwright Mas the agent here. The old Union Depot was in use at that time,, and trains from several different roads ran into this city. The C. II. & D. Ry., made use of the depot and their agent was Harry McClure, who acted in the isition of assistant to Mr. Cart wright. Since then many changes have come about at the station, but Miss "Fitzgerald has remained in the same .position as at that time. She has been a witness to a great many episodes, comic and tragic, which occur. at a place of this kind, and of which voluntas could be written.

Was at Home of Sarah Unthank en North Tenth Street Is Well Educated. Harry Unthank, the young man who eluded the guards at the East Haven Hospital for the Insane last Tuesday was returned to the asylum about ten o'clock last night.' " Unthank is a relative of Mrs. Sarah Unthank of North Tenth street and yesterday evening he came to their house. He seemed to be perfectly rational although requesting them not to turn him over to the authoritios at Easthaven. Mrs. Unthank however thought it was better to let

the authorities know of his whereabouts and Dr; Smith "of the asylum was notified and he was taken back by attendants. Unthank is from Spiceland and is well -known .here. He was at one time considered very bright and was well educated and a student of law. lie ir, considered harmless but has a mania for trying to get away and has given the authorities considerable trouble.

IS SENT TO CHICAGO ART INSTITUTE BY MISS ANNA NEWMAN.

HER LATEST PRODUCTION Interest in Portrait Painting Is Reviving Among Richmond's Group of Artists. Miss Anna Newman, a well known artist of this city, yesterday shipped her newest work, a life size portrait of Mr. J. E. Bundy, to the Art Institute, in Chicago. Miss Newman has been at work on this portrait .for several weeks and when finished, it was pronounced to be one of the best portraits ever seen in Richmond. For two days it was shown in Eiwood Morris' window and received much favorable comment. . Miss Newman's production is one of a number of portraits which are being painted this winter by the local colony of artists. They, have organized a club, which meets every Tuesday evening in Miss Newman's studio, and th work of portrait Pittsburg Dispatch. painting is progressing with great rapidity. Formerly, the majority of the Richmond artists confined themselves to the sketching and painting of bits of still life and outdoor scenery, owing to the short time that the snow remained on the ground, but several artists among them, Messrs. Girardin, ordyke and Bundy, have been able to secure a few pictures.. CHARLES WARD MAY SOON GO OH THE STAGE Will Complete a Course of Dramatic Study, at Indianapolis This Month.

Air Employe is Careless Big Engines Running Through Richmond Were Ruined. (Palladium Special.) Logansport, Ind., January IS. -The bursting of a barrel of oil, set 'fire by the careless handling of a blazing torch by an employe of the Panhandle roundhouse, caused a fire today which destroyed a portion , of the roundhouse, damaged five engines and resulted in a painful injury to Edward Murphy, 'who was in the engine pit cleaning out an engine when the explosion occurred. The alarm came in prompt ly and the fire department responded and found the Pennsylvania fire force at the shops already at work, when they arrived. Three engines were pulled out of the burning building but a part of the structure fell in upon two others, burying them in the burning debris causing heavy loss. Ed

ward 'Murphy, the injured man was badlv burned by the flaming oil when the barrel burst, but he is not thought to be seriously hurt. ALL VEHICLES TO BE LICENSED ACCORDING TO AN ORDINANCE WHICH COUNCILMAN1 PECK HAS DRAWN UP. RECEIPTS ARE TO BE USED In Defraying Expense of Keeping Up City Streets Plan is Used Elsewhere. At the next meeting of the city council, Councilman C. T. Peck, of the Fifth Ward, will present ail ordinance for the licensing of vehicles. The ordinance should it pass will be broad in its nature. .Every owner of any kind of vehicle will be required to procure a license before using it on the streets. Every truck, oil wagon, moving wagon, sprinkling cart, express wagon, milk wagon, delivery wagon, dray, omnibus, hack and private carriages will be taxed as will also bicycles and automobiles. The tax, however, will be required only from resident owners of vehicles and farmers who come into the city for the purpose of trade will be exempt with the exception of truckJ sters and gardeners whose business it is to sell from the streets. The purpose of the ordinance is to secure a means by which the city streets may be kept iri better shape. While the streets of the city are in fair condition still the $20,000 spent annually by the city is not enough to keep them up to the standard required. City Attorney Gardner says that such an ordinance is entirely valid and the chances are that it will pass the next council meeting. Councilman Peck has had the idea in mind for some time but he wished to perfect himself in every phase of the question before presenting it to council. lie has written letters to Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, Cincinnati and other cities -which have the ordinance in. effect and they seem much pleased by the plan and say that it is giving entire satisfaction. - GREENSFORK CASE SOON. Now that the Allen damage suit has been finished m the circuit court it is probable that the Greensfork incorporation case will be heard the first part of next week. Theease was delayed owing to the fact that two of the attorneys who will take part in this case, T. J. Study and J. L. Rupe, were engaged, in the Allen damage suit.

NOT' MORE THAN THIRTY MACHINES ARE USED IN THE CITY.

IS WAY BELOW AVERAGE Of Other Places Accounted For by Many Horses Owned Here. . Auto Outlook. With the approach of another automobile season it is interesting to note that in Richmond, there are not more than thirty automibles, and the Kpulation is in the neighborhood of 24,000. In a small city in the northern part of this state, there are GO cars and the population is not over G.000. In Denver and in Los Angeles and other western eities,1 the crazo is -enormous, and by actual count, there is about one automobile to every seventy-five inhabitants. These figures show that Richmond is behind in the number of automobiles used, but it is confidently expected by the local dealers that there will bf a brisk sale of machines durinjr the coming year. For several reasons, -Richmond is a poor city for automobiles, and it is said that there are fewer machines here than in any other citv the size of Richmond, in a locality where the roads are as good as they are in This part of Indiana. One reason is the fact that Richmond people are so reluctant to part with their horses. The driveways are noted fur their beauty and Richmond is noted for the horses that are owned here, and it is a hard matter to make the public believe that an automobile can compare favorably with a ''horse. 'Then, too, people have an idea that the maintenance of an automobile for a year is equal to or more than, its original cost. This idea is erroneous, according to those who have invested in machines, and they say that in no other way can so much pleasure be derived from the, expenditure, of an equal amount of money. : That the present year will be the greatest since the first automobile was put on the market is the prediction of motorists all over the country and from the appearances of the many different cars that are being displayed in the various shows, much mechanical skill, has been devoted to the perfecting of the -machines. There is little change to be seen in the new 1900 modle machines and almost all the alterations have been made with a view of simplifying the operation of the cars and to increase the efficiency of the engines. The lowest of prices which has been predict ed from time to time, did not come with the '-.-1900 Models and those, who intend to purchase a car this year will find that they will give just as much for it, or maybe more, than they did last year. There is a great tendency toward having better cars and more expensive workmanship and material used in their construction. M. C. Henley and sons of this city will go to Chicago in February to attend the "annual automobile show. Mr. Henley is very much interested in automobiles and is anxiously awaiting the time when he can see for himself the 1906 improvements which have been made. ST. MARY'S CHURCH TO GIVE ENGLISH COMEDY To Take Place in Church Hall on a Day "Before Lent. The young members of St. Mary's church are reheasing f or a play to be given some time before Lent. The play is an old English comedy and has been played by professionals a number of years. There is much talent in the church and it is expected that the production will be a good one. It will be given in "St. 'Mary's Hall. ;
