VOL. 50, NO. 40 INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1905. WHOLE NUMBER 2498 fe CHRISTIAN MEET. Aumtni Convention of Christian Workers of Indiana County JIIcUl at Homer City.

The County 0. B. convention was held afc Homer City last week, Thursday, at 8:80 p. m. and closing with the session Friday night.

The Presbyterian church was well filled at every session and at night was crowded many persons not being able to gain entrance. J. R. King, of town, conducted the inspiring song service and set the pace at which a live convention ought to go. It is needless to say that the president, Frank Snyder, of town, kept the workers up to that pace and there was no lagging.

David Berry, one of the first Christian hdeavorers, helped to start the now e'plendid organization, when it was now and untried and had to work its way into favor, gave the greeting that the delegates proved and found he had not overdrawn. It was a welcome from the King of Kings, through the people of Homer City, to the followers of Christ. It was ably responded to by! Howard Ewing, another faithful endeavorer from Saltsburg. The corresponding secretary, Miss Minnie Russell, of Indiana, gave a very comprehensive view of the Endeavor movement throughout the county for the past year. The society has reason to feel encouraged by their success and with the re-election of this secretary, they have reason to hope for continued prosperity the coming year.

The county officors reported the good and the president clearly and consisely gave the ways and menus by which each one could help make the convention a good one. Thursday evening praise service was conducted by Mr. King and Messrs. Elmer Allison, John St. Olair, Wellington Clark and J.

R. King sang "Lead Kindly Light" and other selections and Miss St.Olair sang a solo "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Rev. G. G. Burns, pastor of the church, had charge of the devotional service.

The gentleman who was to have spoken on Thursday night could not come by reason of sudden illness aud il Thomas Uber, of Homer City, a student Jp at Susquehatina Grove, gave a masterful address on "Temper- ance." We have learned since that the jaddress was one that had been given at the university and had won a prize of $65. Rev. Lewis Hay also spoke on the same theme. Friday morning session was conducted by Miss "Margaret Evans, who is Christian Endeavor secretary of the Kittan- niug Presbyterial Missionary societies, Home and Foreign; and Rev. Shaffer conducted the devotional.

Many important questions were discussed. Prof. Harry D. Coiidrow spoke "How May Our Committee Work be Made More Effective;" Miss Lizzie Fleming, of Shelocta, "How to Get Young People Interested in Endeavor Work; Frank Blue, of Chambersville, presented the "Social Side" and Lester Wingard, Grove Chapel, the "Money Side." These conferences were followed by address by Andrew Bryuier.of Blairsville, "Looking Forward." Rev. George Ryall, of Saltsburg, who was to have preached the convention sermon was detained at home by illness and A.

O. Ora- veuer, in his stead, presented the subject of "Sabbath School Missions." "Tne Conquest of Jerico," by Rev. Lee Perry, of Indiana, was a stirring ap- peal to the cause of missions. This was indeed a message from the heart for this vVw speaker does not withhold the lives of his dearest children, but freely gives them to the cause. Friday afternoon, Professor James Chapman gave the reasons "Why Are Young Men so Scarce in Christian Endeavor aud Miss Elizabeth Craw- gave glimpses of the great iuter-de- i nominational convention held at Baltimore and A.

O. Oravener presented the "Bible as the Central Fact in the Christian Life." The juniors had a prominent part ou the program, and rightfully, for from the juniors the seniors must come later. Homer City juniors and others had exercises and an address on the "Importance and Power of Junior Work" was given by Miss Martha Oriley, of Blairsville, and Miss Emma Kuukle, of Saltsburg. Music preceded the address Friday night, duets and solos, preparing all hearts for the powerful address by Rev. J.

Stockton Roddy, of Harrisburg, who had for his theme "Present Day Problems of Christian Endeavor." The delegates held their consecration service, sang God Be With You Till We Meet Again" and adjourned to meet at Cherrytree next year. Each night a tallyho of young people went from Indiana to attend the convention. COURT NEWS. tttut Petit nt Same Itnttery, Monday being Labor day and business out of town being practically suspended, a great many people camo to Indiana making the day like one of the old fashioned court week Mondays. Judge Telford heard motions in the forenoon and at 1:80 p.

m. the court convened for business. The constables' returns were pome- what spicy. Green, reports loose stones on the roads, hand boards down, beer sold without license Pine reports illegal liquor North Mahoning, bad roads and illegal selling of intoxicants; Montgomery, illegal selling; Young, index boards not all up; West Wheatfield, bridge out of shape. Nineteen members of the grand jury responded to their names.

John M. Nichol, of Green township, was ewdru in as foreman. The instructions of the Court to the Grand Jury were short and consisted of an explanation of what their duties are. He then defined some of the crimes to be passed upon. Murder is the only high crime charged this time.

Joseph Moorhead, tipstaff, has charge of the Grand Jury. The Court then heard a motion for a non-suit in the case of Commonwealth vs. George Bennett. Tuesday afternoon the grand jury brought in true bill against Oamene Reuzo, charged with killing Marran Barra, of Ernest; Frank Williams charged with mayhem, assault and by Harry A. Lydick; against John Trainor, charged with assault and battery by Frank Reed.

The case of one liquor bill was ignored aud prosecutor must pay costs. The case of Matthew Ray against John Nealer, settled. The case of Thomas Aul vs. John Jamison is in hands of jury. This trouble was about some straw to which both Aul and Jamison laid claim.

The facts brought out were that Peter Riddle and Margaret Aul owned a piece of land. Margaret Aul had Thomas Aul farm this ground and he was to have the straw of the crops he raised Later Peter Riddle secured John Jami- sou to go ou the farm offering him the straw on the place. This made two owners for the straw, hence a trial by jury for justice. Womlevfnl Improvements. More room, better facilities to dobusi ness has constrained the Onuuinghan company to raise the rear portion of th building to three stories like the othei parts, aud this gives room for the ladies suits and tailoring department.

Thi comes largely because the Ounninghan company has six or eight young lad; members, who are thoughtful for thi good of their sisters. A larger display window the entin length of the building on Carpente: avenue will add much to the beauty and display of goods and incidentally add much to the appearance of Carpenter avenue, the thoroughfare to Library hall, where all our entertainments are held. The main entrance will also be re- modelled, and the entire building undergo complete transformation. This, of course, necessitates handling the goods aud is the reason for the "downward" slide in prices, as the Cunningham company would rather have the goods carried out of the doors as to carry them to other parts of the building. Wife Was a Pliinivillc We learn that Solomon Peters who died suddenly while unloading hay a few weeks ago, a notice of which was in the MESSENGEK at the time, was married on July iirst, 1870, to Miss Lizzie Wearner, of Plnmville, who with the following eight children survive: Miss Minnie Hattie A.

Kiimnell reached the time of life which Oliver Wendell Holmes says, Aml brighter shino at eighty-four." The family and relatives were not the nly persons who remembered the anni- ersary aud extended greetings to Mr, iiuimell, but scores of others to whom had endeared himself by acts of houghtf ulneHH and kindness when such icts were most needed. Especially the 'boys in blue" remembered when sick iear Washington, D. in the various camps, that it was Mr. Kiminell, who had then an official position at Washing- ion, who cauie to cheer them up, write etters to the home friends, later securing a furlough that they might recuper- Ue at the old home. All this lay deep iu their hearts and Saturday they went to his home to tell him they had not forgotten, would never forget, the nianv things he to wish him the best tuat life had in store for such he.

Under the leadership of J. M. Marshall, with Old Glory waving in the breeze and with fife aud drum as in those trying days, the men marched to his home and were met at the door by the gentleman himself who seemed surprised to be so surrounded by soldiers iu such a time of peace. J. N.

Banks, told him why the men had come. Mr. Kimuiell thanked them cordially in a few well-chosen words and then recalled some of the incidents in his experience in hospitals aud on battlefields. W. A.

Buchanan, of town, then spoke, recalling the visit of Mr. K. to him in the hospital after he had lost his arm on the battlefield and how Mr. Kimmell had written a letter to his wife which is preserved in the family to this day as one of the precious relics of war times. Mr.

Buchanan had been listed in the newspapers as one of those killed in battle and this letter was the first authentic information his wife had received after the battle. S. M. MoHenry then made a few remarks recalling the favors Mr. Kimmell had done his two brothers after the Peninsula campaign.

S. C. Thompson, commander of Indiana Post No. 28, Dr. William Hosack, J.

M. Laughliu and Henry Prothero also made remarks suitable to the occasion. The latter recalled the visit Mr. Kimmell and his father, Mr. John Prothero, made to their regiment, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves, immediately after the bloody battle of South Mountain.

Almost an hour was spent in recalling incidents of some forty years ago in which the veterans present took a lively interest. After again wishing Mr. Kim- rnell many happy returns of his birthday the old soldiers took their leave. Quite a number who could uofc be present at the time set for the formal call, dropped in personally during the day and congratulated the aged gentleman. There is perhaps no man in the county who has a warmer, place in the affections of the Civil war veterans than 3oii.

A. W. Kimmell, and no one deserves more the tribute of respect shown aim by them. The Odd Fellows, Palladium Lodge, of which he is the oldest member, also called to pay their respects to their aged 'rieud, oue whose place was faithfully filled nud whose presence always added cheer to their banquets.
