The elopement of Mrs. Fannie Labe with Henry Lamn, a single man, on Satur uppermost topic ot opposite Columbia, this county, was a soen day last, is now the uppe of terror last night, 'the police station and I discussion in the northwesi ne nve barns being destroyed By Incendiary fires.

The first fire occurred at midnight when the look up was burned. At two o'clock this morning five barns were fired and destroyed, and at five o'clock two more bsrns were burned. After the first fire a Vigilance Committee patrolled ha place, but tailed to prevent the other fires. Tbe last occurred early this morn ing, at which James Fiester, alias "Beddy" MoBntire. was seized on suspicion of being the incendiary and locked up in the burn ing building, from which he succeeded in esoaping.

He was afterwards arrested on the charge of arson and taken to the York county jail. The aggregate loss is about 93,000. At one time it was leered that half of the town would be destroyed, REV. ANNIVERSARY. t.

xneir home ha been at 849 Cburoh street, and Lamn had been boarding there. The tint intimation Mr. Labe had heard of hi wife' desertion was about 10 o'clock on Saturday morning when ne returned trom tne roiling mill, ft was then that ha found his three children running arouhd in the street lamenting the departure jpf their mother. When he entered the aumea he found everything in a state of con fusion. The contents of bureau drawers and closets were found strewn over the floor, and the general appearance of every room indicated a very exit on the part of some one.

Mrs. Labe'e best clothing was found to be mowing, and this, it subsequently she bad taken with her. A sam )f money was also iasing. i As Mr. Labe begasfr to make a more thorough examination of the deserted house ne saw that saaeh of the clothing belonging to his three children the youngest of whom is a hoy but eighteen months old was not to found, and just what disposition was made ot tt could only be conjectured at the time.

Later some of tbe clothing belonging to tne cnuoren was found in the water closet, and the eldest of the children witnessed the placing of the clothing there by her mother. Mr. Labe soon realised that hi wife had eloped with Lamn. and leant' lag that the pair had purchased railroad tickets to transport them to Conshohocken he placed bis obildren in tbe care ot nis parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Cyrus Labe, 208 West Buttonwood street, and started in pursuit of the runaway couple. He inter ceoted them at Swedeland. near Bridge port, and demanded of his wife the money she baa taxen away witn ner. ijamn was with the runaway wife, and he threatened WIM tne runawny wile, anu ne minwavu jro on with their journey. Labe took his wife by tbe arm and marched ner througn the Streets of Conshohocken informing every one that she had proved unfaithful to aim and tnat sne was a woman wno should be despised by every one.

Labe succeeded in taking trom his wife a heavy satchel, in "which she' had packed her clothing, and in which he supposed she had placed the money that was missing at the Church street house. Mr. Liabe having no warrant for the arrest ot the party when he reached Swedeland could not succeed in detaining them. He was obliged to re1 turn to Reading and have a warrant issued. which was placed ia the hands of Police sergeant Harts, wno started alter Mrs.

Labe and her lover on Saturday evening. When Mr. Labe intercepted them at Swedeland they were making preparations to go to a pio mo which was being held in A grove near that place. Since bis wife's desertion Mr. iado learned that she had purchased some articles, including a flannel shirt, at H.

Kelley's store, 850 North Eighth street. The shirt was intended for her lover, aad this was found with the other articles of clothing in the satchel that Labe took from his wife. A half dozen handker chief, a number of towels and several of Mrs. Labe'e dresses were found in this satchel, but the money missing from the bouse, about S46 or sou, could not ne found In the satchel. Mr.

Labe was seen by a representative of tbe Times at tbe residence of his parents on West Buttonwood street lost evening, and he bad a story of woe and unbappiness to relate, xle exhibited tbe last pay en velope he received at Sternbergh's works, and it showed that his months earnings amounted to $52.34. This was given lo his wile at the time be received it, and tbe entire amount was taken away by the runaway wife. The children were left with not sufficient clothing, and his own working clothing was left in a very ragged condition. He said he had always provided his family with everything his means would allow him to get, and at no time since their marriage was the family in need. The house on Church' street is well furnished, but there is everywhere evidence of carelessness on the part of the departed housewife.

Labe is a young man who has a good reputation among those who know him best. Lamn, who ia bv some said to be a worthless character, is about 30 years of age, and during the past week he hajl not been amblovea at tna noit and nut works, he having laid off on account of alleged sickness.

Dnlrynsple sad Orrlch. The oorner stone of the new St. Bar nabas Protestant Episcopal church, on Sixth street below Spruce, was laid with appropriate ceremonies yestsrday after noon. The new edifioe is beino built on a lot adjoining the present edifioe on the south, and will be one of the handsomest in the Central Pennsylvania Diocese. The corner stone was laid at 4 o'clock, and the choir of Christ Cathedral, with Prof.

M. H. Keller as accompanist, sang the psalms em braced in tbe order for the lavinar of the stone, which had been issued by Bishop Howe. A procession was formed in the old church, and the clergy and laity marched to the floor of the new church the choir sang the processional hymn, "The Church's One Foundation." The rector, Rev. L.

R. Dalrymple, was assisted by Rev. Dr. Orriok, of Christ church: Rev. John Long, the first rector of St.

Barnabas church, and Rev. Frank Schroeder, of Lancaster. After prayer bv Rev. John Long, the rector, Rev. L.

R. Dalrymple, read some historical facta concerning the organisation of St. Barnabas church. The oongregation was first organised in private bouse on Seventh street thirty years ago, and on Nov. 22, 1869, Rev.

John Long was chosen rector. The parish was formally organized on the first of December following, and on March 13, 1860, the corner stone of the present edi fice was laid. On the 23d of June of the same year the first service was held in the church. From its founding to the present time the church had nine rectors. Ground for tbe new edifiee was broken on the 22d of Jane of this year by Right Rev.

Bishop Howe, who has always taken a deep interest in the building of the new church. Then the clergy and the contractor proceeded to lay the foundation stone, and the list of articles placed in the stone were copies of the daily and weekly papers of the city, a number of religious papers, history ot the parish, the names of the President, Governor. Mayor. Bishop of tne uiocese, rector, warden, vestry ot tbe parish and the building Committee. The lesson of the day, as found in the third towwi wi wa ue7, ne ivhdu in u.

ultra, I to shoot Labe if he did not permit them to I chapter of the book of Ezra, was read by Rev. Dalrymple previous to the laying of the stone. After the laying of the stone several addresses were made. Rev. Dalrymple said it was a happy and joyous day for all members of the parish.

He read a letter from Bishop Howe, who expressed his interest in the work new going on, and firmly believed that the building of the new church would give fresh impulse to the parish. The bishop looked forward to a new and brighter era. Rev. Dr. Orrick said he was glad to be with the people of St.

Barnabas parish. He spoke of the homes of people and national buildinga as the symbols of civilisation, and said that religion was the great factor of civilisation. It is determined by the character of the building. While the choir sang the anthem. All Things Come of Thee.

Lord," the offerings of the people imbled were received and reverently placed upon the foundation stone. The building committee of the parish, of which Dr. C. B. Jennings is chairman, will make every effort to have work on tbe new edi nee pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

Mewter Ctawetar Jhjtetls letter a Whole amy Vkaua a Hair Vrtemd Lmkr waraa caarlaSlsuaa BTawaeenas to ChrUt Chmrahes that Ave taanaeuat. In Grace Lutheran church last evening Hev. W. H.

Myers preached from Rev. 3:16 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or not." tie said in part "There are things which demand an un. equivocal answer from you. Two sides confront yo one you must choose, both yoa ean't reject. Yet in any great issue you will always find those who shirk their manly part and seek to stand midway between beino neither one thing nor the other.

We admire men who shake off their temerity, and champion a good cause. Ever in the world's history of heroic achievements" we have applauded those who "stood by their colors." A host pretend to be enlisted in a good cause but they are neither hot nor cold, they do not boil, they do not freeze they simply take a stand between. Nothing great has ever been accomplished in the world without enthusiasm nothing in science, nothing in art, nothing in national glory, nothing in religion. I see it every day in friendship. A half friend what is he Better a whole enemy wan a naii menu.

at, is notbmg to you unless through thick and thin he is for you tni'se inenos you might say tbou wert cold or hot." I see this treach ery every day in political contests, in national reforms, in moral and spiritual warfare. Tben there is personal religion and church life I Paul wrote to the Laodiceans: "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot." How many dead churches we have stagnant pools. They are like empress Anne's ice palace ol St refers burg freezing cold. There is scarcely enough earnest endeavor in some churches to hold them together. The Christians in them will never awaken until the thunders ot the resurrection day sound.

Such churohes are not worth the mortar that has been smeared over their bricks, they better shut np for repairs. Christ has no interest in them, nor the devil, for it is altogether a sleepy concern. Religion is a vital, wideawake thing. The spirit that oneratea in it has come down in fiery cloven tongues. The dead are galvanized into glorious animation.

The rank and file of church workers must be astir with joyful activity. A church must not be a sleepy monastery, but an alert garrison of armed soldiers, a bussing, consecrated business mart, a pro longed and ever radiant song of heavenly triumph. It must be hot, if it is anything. This lukewarmness in religion I Yoa have heard of the neuter gender. People who ia practical Christianity are neither one thing nor the other are the neuter gender Christians.

These half way adherents of any cause are generally governed by mixed motives, and they have little regard to principle policy people. No Christians, np worldlings then what are tney i Is religion a real thing, or is it a gross imposture Some, whose crooked lives need a little soothing salve, say "All re ligions are tne same." As it our religion did not spring from Christ, tbe Divine then stand by it with enthusiastic nrocla mation. If yon think it is spurious, then stand out earnestly against it. Bnt be not lukewarm neither hot nor cold. "Why halt ye between two opinions? If God be God, follow bim; if Baal be God, follow him 1" Jesus said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Yon like to know where neonle stand for then you know how to deal with them.

I have more hope of a worldling becoming a Christian, than a lukewarm. We have to give credit to Ingersoll for one thing we know where he stands.

They say they are large eonled ana not bigoted. 1 hey are simply cowards, sneaks, and would liks to take the crown, without having fought for it. Some are ao self conceited, that they think they are good enough for Heaven. "Let others tug away at this religion who are not our equal," they say. Some may be rich, and oftimee, because they have abundant clothes for the body, they think the sonl is clothed on with righteousness also.

Because) soma have gone through school, and have learning, they minx may nave religion, it they have special gifts and talents, some mis. take them for grace. More aay we are so busily employed elsewhere we can't take active part in religion. We will come pay onr share but others msat carry on the church." Yoa are ing rates and drones in the hive. You are not come to church expecting to help God along.

God means to help you by your church connection. Be business like in your money obligations in trade but to chogoh give as a religious privilege and holy sacrifice. Let the churoh be a part of your life, go in and out of the courts of the Lord, as tbe main spring of your daily being. Let the church be first 11 else mere accessories in your pilgrimage to the grave. Your goal eternity.

Business nor pleasure nor honor nor good will take you safely there. At tbe end we will strip yon of all these, put you into a little box, lower you with ropes into a narrow bole 01 toe earth aod unless tbe minister can speak then over your grave toe woroe 1 am tne resurrection aad the life," your labor has been in vain.
