Trainmaster D. D. Wood Meets With a Serious Loss. OTHER PERSONS LOSE VALDABLES A very bold robbery took place on Saturday afternoon at the home of Joseph M. Blair, 1000 First avenue, while Mr.

Blair and all the other members of his family were absent. The house stands back about twenty-live feet from the avenue, but there are houses on either side of it, and the people living in them were at home at the time the Blair house was broken into, and yet they did not see anything of the robbers. Mr. Blair left home about 1 p. all the rest of his family having gone some time previously, lie went down town and returned in about two hours.

As he approached the front gate he saw it standing open, but did not think anything of it, as he supposed some one had called. Going back towards the house, he saw a side window with the upper sash pushed down. Then he began to suspicion that something was wrong and his suspicions were verified when he went to the rear of the house and looked in at the door. He found that from garret to cellar every room had been completely ransacked. The beds had been torn'up and all the top clothing removed; trunks and boxes had been pried open; a satchel which was somewhat difficult to spring apart was cut open at the side evidently with a razor.

All the clothing'in the various rooms was lying in heaps about the floor with all the pockets turned inside out; in fact, there was not a nook or corner in the whole building that had not been discovered and searched by the thieves. Among the articles that the housebreakers secured was an open face silver watch with gold hands, set in diamond chips, belonging to Miss May Blair. The number of the watch was 143163. Besides this timepiece $5 in silver and some valuable old coins were taken. Mr.

Blair's son lost a pair of cuffs and cuff buttons and two neckties. After the robbers had finished they went down to the back porch and taking a blacking brush and blacking proceeded to shine their 6hoes. They were not at ail careful in their use of the blacking but daubed it all over the porch. After the house had been cleaned up and things had been returned to their places it was found that besides the articles mentioned a razor, a brush, a comb and two cakes of soap had been stolen. The thieves were evidently not tramps for the table was set in the dining room with cold meat and fruit, and nothing was touched.

They took only those articles which they could dispose of without suspicion; as, for example, when they tore off the marked fob from the chain that was attached to Miss Blair's watch. They left behind them several other articles of jewelry. Mr. Blair thinks that at least two men must have been engaged in the work, as the house could not have been so thoroughly torn up and systematically searched by one man in such a short 'time. He also thinks that it was done by some one acquainted with the house.

The police were called in and are working on what clues they have been ableto pick up. One thing noticeable about the robbery was the similarity to the mode pf procedure adopted by the person or persons who robbed the house of Mr. Kipple several weeks ago. i time ago Mr. Blair received a considerable sum of money and the thieves may have known of this and supposed that he would leave it in his on Saturday and go to the show.

RELIEVED OK HIS DIAMOND PIN. Among the passengers on Pacific ex-j press on Saturday morning was Train-j master D. D. Wood, of the Tyrone divis- ion. There was quite a crowd in the car, and when the train stopped at the Al-toona station there was a rush to get out.

It was presumably in this crowd that Mr. Wood had a diamond pin taken from niw stnrt breast. It was valued at about $250. POCKETBOOK TAKES. Jeweler D.

F. Beegle, of 1321 Eighth avenue, was relieved of his pocketbook on a street car Saturday afternoon. Mr. Beegle was cn his wav to the Wild West show at the time. It is understood 5 that Mr.

Beegle had previously taken (the precaution to remove his money from his pocketbook and place it in an inside pocket, so his loss is small. The thief was not apprehended. OTHER ROBBERIES. D. C.

The remains will be laid to rest in the Pres byterian cemetery to-day at 2.30 p. Rev. Dr. D. II.

Barron, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, yesterday rounded out thirty-four years of service in that charge. A large congregation was in attendance at the Sunday morning service. The reverend doctor took for his text, I Thessalonians, "For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. Hie theme of his discourse was, "Influence of the People Upon the Pastor. He said: "This day begins the thirty- fifth year of my ministry in this church No other church in the presbytery of Huntingdon has been without one or more changes in the pastorate in that time.

There are few pastors anywhere who have been in so many respects so highly favored, for so long a time, in the service of one congregation; few whose lot and labors have been so uniformly quiet and pleasant, through the con siderate kindness and patience of their people. It will be appropriate to the oc casion, and may not be ithout profit to consider generally the influence of a church upon its pastor. Much might be said concerning what ministers ought to be and do in reter ence to their people. They are solemnly charged and aie justly expected to be not only instructors of their people in divine things, but also their comforters and helpers in all their afflictions and distresses. Thev must not lose faith and courage whoever else does; and whoever else mav be absent and are expected to be present and beforehand, and whoever else may faint and fall by the way, they must be steadfast and faithful to the end.

Nor have pastors just cause to comnlain that they are thus held by the people to all the duties and responsibilities of their high othce. I he Master thus holds them and they are thus bound by the teaching of God's word and their ordination and installation pledges. They ought to be steadfast and laitnlul, and it is justly expected of them that they meet their appointments and keep their engagements bot in the pulpit and out of it, and that they set before the people a proper example of Christian living. But it might be considered and remembered that in the relation between pastor and people duties and responsi bilities are mutual and reciprocal; are as important and binding on the one side as the other. The pulpit implies a pew.

And preaching supposes hearing. There would be no place or use for pulpits and preachers if there were no pews or hearers. The people are as much bound to hear as the preachers are to preach. The same Divine authority enjoins both preaching and hearing and both preachers and hearers are under precisely the same law of Christian living and are to give account before the same righteous Judge on the same judgment day. Thankfui to God for the faithful ones in this church through the many years of my ministry here that are past, who were in an important sense my life in all those years; and hoping for the help of a still larger number in the very few years at most of my ministry that may remain, we begin this day the "thirty-fifth year of our relations as pastor and people.

Let us be faithful to the end! Let us work while it is called to-day, for the night cometh when no man can work. Let this year be better, if possible, than any year that has gone, more faithful in every good work! And may the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!" Patriotio Services. Sunday afternoon patriotic services were held in Sons of Veterans hall, Chestnut avenue and Eleventh street. After singing and prayer by Rev. W.

W. Dunmire. the reading of a scriptural lesson and of a prelude on the subject of the "Bible in Our Public Schools," the hymn "Railroaders' Christ" was distributed. Rev. Dunmire then delivered a sermon the subject "Shall Our American Institutions remain?" being a continuation of his remarks on the same subject made the Sunday previous.

The text was taken from Psalm xxv: 14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him." The meeting was closed with praver bv Rev. Hirst Reed and the singing of a hymn. WILL VISIT LOUISVILLE.
