183. ESTABLISHED 1831 LAST EDITION. A PATRIARCH HAS FALLEN. DEATH OP ALEXANDER MIjOAN EARLY THIS MORNING. Ho Was Descended Front Stnrdy Scotch Irish Ancestry, ana Wan a Censplcoas Figaro In the Market Sqnaro Presbyterian Church for More Than Half a CenturyThe Last of Ilia Family Other Locals.

Alexander Sloan is no more. He has finished his course and fall of years has passed over to that innumerable army of saints who preceded him. About 4 o'clock this morning his eyes closed in their last sleep at the family residence, No. 132 South Second street. He had been failing for two months, but because he had always been a remarkably vigorous man he could not understand the inroads of old age.

He was confined to his bed about ten days and retained full possession of his senses unto the end. He remarked a short time before he died, in response to au observation of one at his bedside that his had been a happy old age, that he was thankful to God for His many blessings, and especially because he had been permitted to retain his senses. The funeral will take place from the Market Square Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock next Tuesday morning. The elders of this congregation will act as pall bearers. Mr.

Sloan was one of the oldest ruling elders in the Presbyterian church. Last October the fifty fifth anniversary of his service was appropriately celebrated in the Market Square church, Itev. Dr. Robinson, Rev. George B.

Stewart and many other clergymen and friends being present The occasion was a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Stewart and Mr. Sloan. Between four and five hundred persons were present.

Dr. Robinson made the principal address, in which he referred to Mr. Sloan's long and honorable service in the church and drew some lessons from his life. Air. Sloan's Last Address.

At the conclusion of Dr. Robinson's remarks, the pastor read the following address prepared by Mr. Sloan and it is a more comprehensive and interesting obituary than any which conld be written by another: "My Dear Friends of the Market Square Church: I can but thank yon most heartily for the honor yon have shown me on this occasion, an honor for which I feel myself unworthy. It has pleased our Heavenly Father to allow me to remain in the sacred office of elder of this congregation for a period much beyond that usually allotted to man. I presume this occasion is a recognition of this kind "Providence to me, more than a recognition of any service I have rendered the church.

I can only say I have sought to do my duty, and have tried to be faithful to my trust. "It occurs to me that it may be interesting to you to hear a few reminiscences of the history of the church during my connection with it, which has covered nearly the whole of its existence. "I was born on Chestnut street, of this city, in a honse which stood where the house of Mr. George Boyd now stands, on October 9th, 1802. In 1805 my father removed with his family to New York city, where we remained until 1812.

In October of that year we returned to Harrisburg and took up our residence in the old home on Chestnut street. I have ever since lived in this city, with the exception of about two years, between September, 1824, and January, 1827, which I spent in Philadelphia and New York. "I remember all the pastors and all the elders who have served this church since its organization in 1794. My recollections of the church building and its services date back to the time of oar return from New York in 1812. I was compelled to attend all the services on Sunday and during the week, and very uncomfortable services they often were, especially during the winter.

An attempt at heating the church building, which then stood on the corner of Second street and Cherry alley, was made with two wood stoves, but i it was not very successful. There were no chimneys, aud the stove pipes were run out through the side wall into the alley. I can recall the slimly at tended prayer meetings, when those of us who were there gathered round the stove trying to keep warm. A gallery was put Into the old building about 1818, and then the first choir of the church was organ ized, with Thomas Smith and John White hill as leaders. I shortly after joined the choir, of which I remained a member almost nninterrnptedly until after this present build ing was dedicated in 1860.

It must have been in the year '21 or '22 that the first musical instrument was introduced into the services. This was a bassoon, played with great spirit and power by old Mr. Holt, a school teacher in the village. In subsequent years the bassoon gave place to a bass viol and a cello. These were used nntil we purchased the cabinet organ now in our lecture room.

This organ was saved at the time of the burning of the church in March, 1858, being taken to my house for safety. It continued to do service in the chnrch until Mr. James Weir presented ns wuh our large pipe organ in memory of his beloved wife. "On May 1st, 1828, I unitel with the chnrch on profession of my faith. At the meeting of the Session when I was examined, Dr.

DeWitt, the pastor, Elders Sloan, my father, Capp, Agnew and Graydon were present. At the same time Win. Carson, David Ireland, Aaron Kemble, Robert Mc Elwee and Susanna Armstrong united on profession of their faith, and Samuel Hays and George WhitehiU united on certificate. These have all since passed away. "On October 6th, 1831, together with James W.

Weir and Alexander Graydon, I was chosen an elder. We three were ordained to this office on Sabbath morning, October 19th. When I entered the Session Dr. De Witt was moderator, and William Graydon, John Neilson and Richard T. Leech were the elders.

At my first session meeting, which was held on the Wednesday following my ordination. October 22J, the selection of Psalms and Hymns, compiled by the authority of the General Assembly, was adopted for use in the public worship of the congregation, and remained in use for many years. At this meeting William Graydon resigned the position of clerk of the Session, and James W. Weir, one of She new elders, was chosen in his place. Mr.

Weir continued to hold thisujaosition in the Session until his death, inV878. He was also chosen at this time the delegate of the Session to the meeting of the Synod of Philadelphia. "During all the years in which I have bean a member of the Session, in which time we have passed through many trying experiences, such as the disruption of the Presbyterian Church in 1837, the division of the congregation in 1858, the exciting times of the civil war, the reunion of the Presbyterian chnrch in 1870, the building of two church edifices, and the worries and perplexities of ordinary chnrch administration, there has never been any division of sentiment nor any unpleasant feelings among its members, The utmost good will and brotherly regard have characterized an our meetings. 1 have no recollection of any unpleasantness at any Session meeting held in the last 55 years. During this time I have seen nearly all the companions of my youth and early associates in the chnrch pass away.

Only Mrs. Sarah Doll and Mrs. Jane Strohecker, now living in Harrisburg, remain of those who were members of the chnrch at the time I became a member. The two dear brethren who were ordained with me, and those godly men, who received ns into their body, and many who have since become members of the Session, have passed into the rewards and glory of Heaven. Some of these were called away very suddenly.

Elder William Root was accidentally killed by a fall from the Market street bridge when it was being rebuilt in 1817. Elder McClean fell dead one morning in market in 1S46, and Elder Mordecai McKinney was run over by a street car in Walnut street in 1867, from which accident he died in a day or two. And more recently James Weir and Robert Jackson Fleming were called away after brief illnesses. "Many of myTwsociates in the Session have been eminent for piety and great usefulness, and when we were called to part with one after another we felt that their places could not be filled. "Daring my connection with the church there have been several notable revivals, especially those of 1830, when a Rev.

Mr. Norton assisted the pastor, 1834, 1843, 1855, 1875 in the latter the Rev. Mr. Hammond assisted. I have been permitted to see the church grow from a little flock in a small village to its present large membership in this prosper ons city.

Instead of the one small Presbyterian church of fifty five years ago, there are now six organized churches and two missions, with over 1 500 members. I count it a great privilege to have witnessed all this and to have borne a little part in it. I feel I have been but an unprofitable servant, and only hope for the merciful judgment of God and of his people upon my life and work. "I thank you for this unexpected and undeserved honor, and most devoutly pray that in the years to come this people, among whom my whole life has been passed, and whom I dearly love, continue to have the blessings ot God. Last of Ills Family.

Other brief addresses were made by the pastor and S. J. M. McCarrell, the latter being unable to recall any occasion during Mr. Sloan's fifty five years of service as an elder when he was absent from communion, or failed to perform his duties in connection with the celebration of that ordinance.

As stated in his address Mr. Sloan wss born in this city and spent most of his life here. He was of Scotch Irish parentage on both father's and mother's line of descent. His mother was Sarah McCormick, of Hanover, where his father was born. He was the sole survivor of his family parents, wife and children, with one exception, having gone before.

This exception is Mrs. H. M. Graydon, of this city, who is the only surviving child. Mr.

Sloan was associated with J. Brisbin Boyd for a number of years in the undertaking and cabinet making business, but he retired several years ago. The funeral will be largely attended. FIRST GAME. Mow It Resulted at Island Park This After noon.

What He Thinks of the National tiuard of Pennsylvania. "Pennsylvania should be proud of her National Guard. I wish every State in the Union had an equally effective force." That was the exclamation of President Harrison to bis traveling companions as the special train which conveyed his party to the last encampment of the Guard moved away from Mount Gretna. "If at the breaking ont of the rebellion, said the President, "we had possessed a force in the principal Northern States equal to this Pennsylvania Guard, the first disaster at Bull Run wonld not have occurred, and no man can eetimate the influence which such a force would have exerted on the events of the war. The entire division, as I moved in front of its lines and saw its columns swing past the point of review with cadenced step, impressed me as a body of real soldiers that could be relied upon in any emergency.

They not only looked but acted like real soldiers. The division cannot be excelled, and I wish all the States had as good a military organization. 1 saw this division at the inauguration of Garfield and of Cleveland, and again at my own inauguration, and was very much impressed with it upon each of those occasions. Bnt having seen it in camp and witnessed its manoeuvres on the field, the formed of it on parade has been confirmed and strengthened. It is a fine body of men, of which the people of Pennsylvania and the country bave reason to feel prond.

Yon cannot say anything in praise of the Gnard and its officers so strong that I will not endorse it. Major General Schofield, Secretary of War Proctor and others of the distinguished visitors to the camp expressed themselves in equally complimentary terms.

A RAINBOW BY MOONLIGHT. Tho Reinaikable Sight Witnessed by Citi zens ot Akron, O. Ajcbon, August 1. The remarkable phenomenon of a double rainbow, produced by moonlight, was witnessed by many citizens to night About 9 o'clock the wind, which was blowing from the south all day, suddenly shifted, and heavy black clouds bore down from the north. The moon was then shining brightly in the southern sky, and as the rain poured out of the conlds from the north a distinct and beantif nl rainbow, double at times, spanned the horizon.

colors of the bows were not as sharp as in daylight, but were clearly perceptible. Professor Knight, of Bnchtel College, who saw the rainbow, Bays that very few of the kind have been reported, and that by many they are regarded as an impossibility. Quaker City Notes.

where they were married. The Hobbs family will take legal steps to regain their children, THE INDIAN SCHOOL. Special to the Telegbaph. Cablisle, August 2. Of the home going party some went to Dakota, others to Indian Territory, New Mexico, Montana, Wisconsin, Arizona and Northern Michigan.

There were in all 6939 boys and 30 girls. Few of the party are qualified to care for themselves. Some were blanket Indians when they arrived at Carlisle five years ago knew nothing and seemed to care little about learning anything. Five years' training here has not made men and women from such material. A few, however, will be a credit to the school in their association with their people at the agencies.

One young man is to bring in the beginning of next month a party from tbe Oneidas. He i3 to be the sole judge as to whether those presenting themselves as illing to come to Carlisle are suitably qualified. The matter has been placed in his hands and with the co operation of the agent a good party is expected. The school for the coming year will be well filled up. This enables Captain Pratt to be especially choice in the matter of incoming pupils.

It is not the desire to secure many children, but the best boys and girls at the different agency schools. Those who are not deserving and well advanced will not be received. Entrance to the Carlisle school will hereafter be restricted to the third reader grade and all the pupils must be over 12 years, preferably 14 and over. This will enable the higher grades iu the school at present to be advanced and make the school generally more successful in its work and aim of uplifting the Indian yonth. At present the grade is the grammar grade of the public school with a few high school studies included.

Then, too, those who enter the school in the fall will do so with the understanding that they come east to he educated, and if a term of five years does not accomplish the desired result graduation the pupils will be continued until they do graduate. The plan is a good one, and it is what Captain Pratt tried to bring abont ten years ago. When the boys or girls are graduated from the highest grade in the schcoj. they are allowed to choose for themserces what they will do. If they want to retnrn home they can do so.

If they prefer to stay east and remain in a good country home they can do that. One young man, who made an excellent record while connected with the school and who graduated this last spring, decided tne oest thing for him to do was to remain in the east and become his own master. He has been dropped from the rolls of the school and is now living in Bncks county, getting good wages and gradually becoming a man by associating with men and growing up a useful, self supporting citizen. Phebe Howell, who has been spending her two weeks' vacation here at the school, returned to her work at tbe Pennsylvania Hos pital, Philadelphia, this week. An emergency arose while she was here in tbe ab sence of the regular nurse at the hospital and Phebe was called in.

She very successfully bandaged a leg and also arrested a severe hemorrhage with dispatch and skill. The doctor felt proud that such a girl was given advantages in a city hospital. She finally intends to be a doctor, desiring first the skill of nursing and handling the injured. The customary rounds of the shops was made by the home going girls before starting west last Tuesday. The girls delight to take a last look over he grounds.

b. Ini.ND LAK.K. A Beautlfal Spot with a Fairy Boatman In Green, Special tO tnS TKLBQRAPH. HiGHtANfl Lake, July 29. Stand ing on the mountain's top, yon can see Highland Lake in the valley beneath.

It is not a large lake, but one can spend a delightful hour rowing on its surface. This is indeed a beautiful spot, wnere the pure, invigorating air seems to strengthen one's very soul, lifting it far above the little thmgs of the world. Here you will find romantic walks and fine views in abundance, and coming down to more substantial things, three good hotels, the largest and most commodious of which is the "Grand View." In this hotel the rooms are bright and extremely comfortable, the fare excellent, and the spacious parlors form a picture in themselves, with their wide fire places, blazing wood firea, and simple, yet most tastefnl furniture. Three evenings in the week, the rugs are removed from the parlor floors, and the young people dance, to very good music. In trnth those who sincerely wish to find trne enjoyment, this is the place to find it, stripped of tbe glare and tinsel of extremely fashionable hotels, and as no place is perfect without a ghost or fairy 'Tie said on summer evenings, When the sky is gemmed with stars, And the moon's rays lie upon the lake I4ke shining sliver bars, A tiny skin glides slowly on, Steered by a maid In greon She is the spirit of the Take, But is but seldom seen Only to those whose souls are puro Does she appear at all, And then her smiles In benlson Upon that being fall.

m. when the engineer saw a woman upon the track just ahead of him, waving a white cloth. Ihe tram stopped, with the cowcatcher of the great locomotive almost in front of the woman. "What's the matter asked the engineer, "The track around the curve is all covered with trees and I came to warn yon," the brave woman responded. Just ahead there was a sharp turn in the shining lines of steel over which the train wonld have passed had it not been halted by the woman.

So sharp was the curve, that after an obstruction had come into the engineer's view, no human power conld have prevented the accident Mrs. Bronson, from her house near tbe track, saw tbe wind burl several huge trees across the rails. She was alone with her two little children, bnt she knew that the express was due, and that the great trunks which had been flung down in its path were on snch a curve that they wonld be hidden from sight nntil it oo late. I hated to leave my children alone in the storm," she said, "but I knew there was nothing else to be done, so I caught np a towel the first thing that was handy and ran np to meet the train. I'm glad I got here in time," she added in a quiet tone.
