.w,
Bright aunihlno brought out larg?
crowds of worahlppcra at all
churches yesterday, but cspeclallr at
the M. E. churches, where services were
' held appropriate to the eighth anniversary
of the Epworth League.
Probably the most ejaborato services
were held at the Fourth Btrect M. &.
church. At the morning service the
PMtor. Rev. Dr. J. L. Sooy, delivered a
plendld discourse bearing on the. Epworth
League. At night the* services
were conducted solely by that young
people's organisation, which celebrated
the eighth anniversary of the League
by addresses from its members, assisted
by ths full strength of the choir in excellent
selections.
A beautiful floral Maltese Cross, of
White rosea with the letters E. L. in red
roses, adorned the front of the pulpit,
and bunches of red and white flowers to
either side gave a pretty effect. The
prealdent Dr. J. A. Cox, presided, nnd
his address was resplendent with optlmlsm.
His topic was "Intelligent
Piety."
Dr. Cox believes In looking at life
from the bright side, and does not belleve
that the world la becoming more
sinful. On the contrary, he believes It
Is getting better all the time. He
thought It unnecessary for Christians
to go around with sad faces, but thought
they should cultivate sociability. He
had no use for the Puritan.standard, nor
the kind of men who talk religion where
it Is Impracticable to do so. The world
respects religion now more than ever
It did. but has a time to listen to it. It
respects religion, but scorns those things
under the cloak of religion.
Fanaticism in any calling injures the
calling; there is a lime to talk law, a
time to talk medicine, and a time to
k talk religion. He acts wisely who talks
relljrlon at the right time; more wisely
5. he who makes his every-day life n sermon.
The world respects the genuine
article of religion.
There was a time when profession of
religion meant death, but that time hn.s
past To-day the man who denounces
religion is Justly denounced as a blasphemer.
And the world possesses more
of the genuine articie of religion now
than is really supposed, but proof of It
Is seen in the hospitals and charitable
institutions supported by the munificent
and truly religious people. No devote*
of tho world ever comes to church
with the purpose of scoffing, but rather
he is the most attentive Inside a church.
"In some respects," said Dr. Cox, "it
would be well for the church to take
lessons from the world. The broad hand
of fellowship extended to the sinner
outside the church does a power of Rood.
1 don't like to tell people they are on
the road to perdition. I like better to
think they have straved .lust a little.
I would have them believe there Is something
in the world to live for. that they
re not lost: that some day they will
find the path again."
Dr. Cox eulogised th" League for Its
social features. He did not want its
member* to shun companions who were
outside the church, but wanted them to
greet their companions with a smile always.
He wanted 11 cheering word given
In evorv rltahi-nrteneri. (llxeourneed
one. churc h member or not. He believed
In making people feel that Christiana
oould !>? generous and helpful. That
was why h?* liked th*.- Bpworth League.
It? social features attracted the worldly,
then In tim* the spiritual would gain
them H" wanted the church. Sunday
school and Epworth League to be po inviting
that every man woul 1 And them
the best things on earth.
The earnestness and winning delivery
of 1>r. Cox made hia remarks very Impressive.
Addresses setting forth the
uplifting work and social advantage* of
the Epworth league were given by Miss
Estella Hull and Mr. Charles Morrison.
Interspersing the programme were
?om<> delightful musical selections hy

There was a good attendance present,

An Accident that camo near being attended
with lo$s of 11 fo took place at
tho Martin's Ferry blast furnace at 7
o'clock yesterday morning. As It wan
John Rogers and Jack Kelly came near
being burned to death. The character
of tho accident was peculiar. At tho
Imn mnn#lrtno<l IhlrfK l.inu of rnnlt I?n
metal ran out of the bottom of the
cupola, nnd forcing Its way south Into
the casting house began to give a rather
realistic imitation of a volcano In action.
The hot metal forced Its way under
the cinder which Roger* and Kelly
were tapping. The metal soon hegan
bubbling to the surface, and then explosion
after explosion took place, the
spark* Hying In all directions and driving
the thirty employe* out of the
building. Engineer Bird was standing
in the doorway of the casting house
when the explosions commenced, and
Immediately ran and turned ofT the
blast at the furnace. Rogers and Kel-1
ly mado most miraculous escapes. The 1
only injury done, however, was the loss
of th*? metal and slight damage to the
building. Not an employe received in-1
Juries of any character.
The metal formed in two cakes of ten
tons each. Shortly after ijhe accident :?'
Cleveland. Lorain & Wheeling engine I
was secured and with the osistance of
thirty men. commenced removing the
cakes. Last night the work of clearing
up the wreck had progressed so far that
it was stated that the furnace would be
running as usual by to-morrow.
The news of the accident soon spread
and the scene was visited by hundreds
of sight *eers during the day.

SIR: There In good new# for the Sunday

towns and oountry. Hereafter the proJect
la to tuko them from the wharf
whether they come by land or water,
right through without any detention la
or at Wheeling to the park out the pike, j
with bands playing nnd banners flying,
past the Fourth street Methodist und
First Presbyterian churches, down
Chapllne street, past the Episcopal nnd
Lutheran church, with merrily cheering
crowds, out for a time.
When -they come back they will bo
still more cheerful, nnd will no direct
through t'he city uguln without a stop,
up Kofit street past the Cathedral and I
on down to the wharf, und embark |
there for home.
"The crowd will bo gay, and tho band will
play,
All nature will smile and the air beguile,
All on a Sabbath duy."
The city will have no Interest In all
this whatever, but there will be more
beer sold at the park, and is not that a
sufficient consideration for encumbering
Twrtifiih. fhmdlnc und ISoflf streets with
a four-foot-eight gauge railroad, which
no wagon nor any other railroad can
use? Then this loo will ensure that nil
of the excursionists will go to the Park
and not wander off to Mozart Park or
any other place In town. 11 is proposed
also to put the fame kind of a track on
South street and a double track, same
kind, on Sixteenth street. This will ensure
that no wagons or horse vehicles
shall trespass on two-thirds of Sixteenth
street. We will have a double steam
track on Sixteenth street for all time,
or at least till It shall cense to he profitable
for the Kim Grove railroad to
switch oars as they now do and have
been doing from the Baltimore & Ohio
at the junction at the Peninsula and
haul freight up the Wheeling Creek valley.
Sixteenth street will be a regular
railroad street with a double trade on
it of a gauge no horse vehicle can use,
a "T" mil and lots of trains, and the arrogant
boast Is that the brewery Influence
In politics Is masterful to put all
this through whoever may resist. This
project will also block the eastern progress
of the Suburban and Wheeling
companies, or necessitate two tracks
for street cars on Ghapllne and Eoff

The Belmont Trades Assembly* held
It* regular meeting at llellalre yesterday
afternoon. A number of now members
were taken In and a large nmount
of routine business transacted. The
only matter ?>f special public interest
was the rescinding of a letter issued to
W. J. Harvey endorsing a work he published,
entitled, "a history of trades
unionism in the Ohio valley." It appears
that Mr. Harvey has not lived tip
to his contracts, hence the action of the
