TWO NEW CHURCH EDIFICES
ST. PAUL'S  AND PRESBYTERIAN
PEOPLE BUILDERS.

a Chapel       >__&$.
From Zephyr of May 2.
The yearly congregational meeting
of St* Paul's Beformed cburch was
held yesterday evening, after the
weekly prayer meeting. The annual
financial reports were made. For congregational purposes there were received $1136.20 and expended $1110.75,
leaving a balance of $25.45 ih the
treasury. The Sabbath school raised
$141.15 and expended $102 28, there is
fn the library fund $27.92, the missionary society raised $75.05, the pastor's
aid society $92.22 and expended $25.85;
tbe young peoples' society's receipts
were $87 those of tbe mission band $30
and tbere are $550 in the cburch
building fund.
The congregation has /Sufficient
money to go ahead with tbe building
of a new church as soon as an available
lot Of ground can be purchased. There
are several si tes in view, any of wbich
will make a desirable location for tbe
handsome stone church it is proposed
to erect. The design proposed by an
architect for the church is ornate and
would give the congregation possibly
tbe most beautifui sanctuary in town
and one very convenient in all its
features.
It is probable that the ground for
the proposed structures may be acquired within a lew weeks in which
•case a chapel will be erected this year
and tbe main auditorium left until
1902.
Tbe election of officers was deferred
from yesterday evening to Sunday
morning. An elder and deacon will
be elected, both of whom will be installed Sunday evening. Tbe candidates for the places are: Elder—
Thomas Resser and Daniel Heefner;

power to proceed at once to the enlargement of the chapel. This work
will be pusbed ahead rapidly.
ANOTHER  RAILROAD FIZZLE.
Proposed Electric LI— Prom Hagerstown Te
Waynesboro Abandoned.
The proposed electric railroad from
Hagerstown to Leitersburg and thence
by some stretch of somebody's imagination, to Pen-Mar and Waynesboro
has been abandoned, as it was pretty
sure would be tbe case when it was
first discussed:
Hew York and other eastern capitalists were to furnish the money for
the road but after tbey sent experts to
tbe proposed route they advised tbat
tbe project be abandoned because of
the great expense entailed in the
erection and operation by reason of
tbe extremely hilly nature of tbe land.
So tbat Waynesboro need not look
for a street railway from tbe direction
of Hagerstown. But what is to pre
vent the Blue Mountain Co., which
holds a franchise for building a line in
town and which bas almost all the
right of way to Pen-Mar secured, from
making some effort to build a road for
the summer's travel.?
May Combine All Soldiers' Orphans' Schools
at Scotland.
It is said that the committee of
senators which visited tbe Scotland
soldiers' orphans' industrial scbool
Tuesday evening week expressed the
opinion tbat tte state should concentrate all tbe soldiers' orphans' schools
of the state at Scotland.        _*W.
There is some doubt whether the
present legislature has enough money
at its disposal to effect this change. It
would, however, prove very advantageous to tbe state and to the state's
wards.

WOULD NOT HAVE A DOCTOR
GREENCASTLE WOMAN   DIED  IN
PHILADELPHIA.
Believed  In   Christian   Science   and   Faith
Cnre and Railed Upon Her Brethren Par Help.
From Zephyr of May 2.
A former Greencastle woman, Mrs.
Martha B.Shillito, whose maiden name
was Clugston, and who had acquaintances here, died in Philadelphia, yesterday morning, without medical attention, as a result of ber belief in
faith cures. Tbe coroner is investigating tbe case.
Mrs. Shillito was 41 years old, and
a Christian Scientist. Her husband,
wbo is employed in the Baldwin locomotive works, is also a Christian
Scientist But Mrs. Shillito was, according to the testimony of her neighbors, a hopeless consumptive. Three
yeaisago tbe disease drove her to
Albuquerque, New Mexico. But sbe
found no relief tbere.
"She's looked like death for tbe past
year," said one of the neighbors, discussing tbe event. "I don't believe in
ber doctrines, but all the doctors in
Philadelphia couldn't have saved her."
Though extremely feeble, Mrs. Shillito has been up and about for at least
part of eacb day. Last Sunday she was
taken for a short drive Monday, it is
recorded, she walked out in her back
yard for a little while. ''Yesterday
morning she sat up and ate her breakfast at 7:30 o'clock, expecting to get .p
later in the day.   At 9:30 she died.
There was no doctor in attendance.
Even tbe healers of ber own faith bad
not been witb her very recently. The
last was Miss Grace White, wbo visited
her last Tuesday.
Apart trom her husband, the dead
woman's family did not sympathise1
with her views. She bad no children,
ber nearest relatives being a sister, j
Miss Annie Clugston, of Greencastle,
and a brother, Wesley Clugston, of
Decatur, 111.
EARLY CLOSING  POPULAR.
Only One Herchant In  Lines Affected  Refuses to Pnt np His Shutters.
From Zephyr of May 2.       \
Tbe early closing of the stores
inaugurated yesterday evening, was
observed by alf tbe clothing, dry goods,
boot and shoe and millinery dealers
except one and tbe movement meets
with general favor. One or two
people who were a little late in reaching the stores tbey aimed to visit were
disappointed wben they found tbe
places of business closed but concluded
tbey could get along anotber day
without the merchandise tbey desired
and made no objection to the early
closing.
As told by tbis paper the merchants
propose to continue the practice of
shutting up their stores earlier tban
under the old cust >m. Tbey will not
be moved from it by tbe defection of
one or two, wbo, as a matter of fact,
gain little custom by it, as the majority of people believe tbe hours
proprietors and clerks spend in stores
have been too long and they will
adopt their hours for shopping to the
hours fixed by tbe merchants.
Franklin's Oldest  Magistrate   Was Apprentice in Waynesboro.
Tbe oldest magistrate in Franklin
ccunty, in point of continuous service,
is a former student of the printing
trade in the Waynesboro Recoud
office. He is Justice M. J. Slick, Mercersburg. He was elected under tbe
old constitution in the spring of 1873
receiving bis commission from Governor Hart ran ft in tbe following April.
He is now 57 years of age and his age
lacks six montbs of being twice tbe
term be bas been a public servant.
Besides dispensing justice in Mercersburg he was for 33 years owner and
editor of the Mercersburg Journal,
establishing the paper in 1863, after
learning his trade in Waynesboro.
Upon tbe burning ofChambersburg be
enlisted in tbe army,'the paper during
his service suspending publication. He
resumed tbe publication in May, in
1860, and continued his publication
until 1899.
Complimented Waynesboro's Firemen.
Henry T. Allison, representing tbe
Farmers Mutual Insurance Co., Tork,
was bere April 29, adjusting claims on
bis company caused by tbe recent fire.
He paid a high compliment to the
Waynesboro firemen, saying tbat
never in his experience had he adjusted a claim where the efficient work of
firemen was so manifest.
PUT YOUR NAME ON THE LIST
FOR OUR FAITHFUL FIRE BOYS.
HEARD   DEATH'S  SUMMONS, I TO MARK HOMES OF  DEAD.
As this paper bas announced, the
Mechanics' Steam Fire Engine and
flose Ca was disappointed in the financial returns of the fair beld to help
secure sufficient money to purchase; its
combination chemical and hose wagon
and, in consequence, finds itself compelled to ask financial contributions
from the citizens.
It has been a long time since tbe
company asked the community for
any'financial gifts, having supported
Itself by tbe monthly contribution
from council and its earnings from its
dray and sprinkling wagon.
Now it makes its appeal for assistance and one tbat sbould meet witb a
liberal response. It has always served
the people of Waynesboro well (a fire
insurance agent w, ho came here to adjust losses by tbe recent fire near Potomac avenue says be never knew of
better work by a fire company) and
proposes With its new equipment to
serve them even more efficiently.There
should be no hesitation in answering
tbe appeal it makes.
A committee of three is at work
aoliciting contributions. Thus far it
bas met witb responsse as follows:
W. H.   Brown ... $25
Ir E. Yost -••••   25
A. H. Deardorff    15
Geo. F. Ensminger    15

Ezra Frick -    10
This committe consists of Wm. G.
Hei-ne^erger, H C. Funk and D. S.

Tbis paper will be glad to add the
names of many people to the list started aoove.

CHAMBERSBURG   LEFT   GUT.
WASHINGTON   &" FRANKLIN  ft AY I
BE  DOUBLE-TRACKED. .
THE
Stockholders WUl Meet Thursday, Jnly 11,
To   Take   Action   On   Increasing
Capital   Stock.
A meeting of stockholders of tbe
Washington & Franklin Railway Co.,
has held at the office of President W.
U. Brewer, Chambersburg, Tbursday
afternoon. There were piesent Mr.
Brewer^ President Jobn M. Hood of
the Western Maryland * Railroad Co.;
H. D. Pratt, assistant t. President
Hood; W. U. Patterson, Baltimore;
Dr. Joseph Snively, Shauy Grove;
Jacob J. Miller and C. E. H. Brown,
Waynesboro, and W. - O. Nicklas,
Esq., Chambersburg, acting secretary
Resolution, were presented for the
consideration of the stockholders at a
meeting to be beld on Tbursday, July
il next, at tbe office of President
Brewer in Chambersburg beginning at
12:30 o'clock.
The nature of these resolutions
provide for the increase of tbe capital
stock of the road. Tbis increase will
amount to $250,000, it is said,although
no definite information was furnished
from those at tbe meeting.
Measures were also discussed for 1 be
improvement of the road by double-
tracking it, it is further rumored.
This is a step deemed necessary by
those familiar with the increasing
traffic of the road. Some time ago
this paper pointed out, on the
authority of a railroad man wbo bas
extensive opportunities for familiarizing himself with railroad conditions,
that it would not be long until there
would be through passenger trains
running over the W. & F. to the west
and almost dailv the accuracy of this
as a prediction is being shown.
Tbe W. & F. needs a double track
for tbis in addition to its present
heavy business and it is believed it
will soon bave it. Tbe road is practically double-tracked from Quinsonia
to Zumbro and the necessary steps are
being taken for laying an additional
track in Cbambersburg. Tbis amount
of track already laid leaves tbe principal work to be done from Quinsonia
south and part of this has long sidings.
So that there will not be so mucb
work needed as might appear on the
face of it and tbis improvement will
not be long in coming.
PAID HUSBAND'S DEBT.
TROLLEY   LINE   WILL
YET BE BUILT.
NOT
It   May Come Later, Say   The. Promoters-
Local Parties Said To  Have  Discouraged the rtovemeat.
A letter from D. W. Nevin, who was
at the head of the movement to establish a trolley in Chambersburg, informs the town council that tbe company, for many reasons, will not be
able to accept the franchises granted
it, at least, for the present. ; Mr.
Kevin's letter is lengthy, setting out
tbe company's reasons far not accept ■
ing.   ln concluding it be said:
"We are not promoters, wbo care
little for tbeir future reputation, but
thought your town a suitable one,
under the most favcrable conditions,
for the building of a trolley
line which would grow in value and
under that impression secured the
franchise.
■'Our franchise wild not expire for
two years from its date and we still
hope to carry out our "views before the
time expires if we can get others to
think as we do, and hope that you may
not change your opinion of us."
Tbere is a general feeling of disappointment in the county seat. Tbe
trolley company's letter contains the
information that "Residents of your
town have seen some of our parties and
told tbem not to put any money in tbe
road as it would never pay and cited
tbe Carlisle, Hagerstown and Gettysburg roads as being roads that did not*
pay."
Friday's Public Opinion in
commenting upoh tbe above opinion
says:
"Of course these parties are known
and tbeir names are withheld from
the public at the present only because
we believe that the company will
yet build tbe road from Chambersburg:
to Gettysburg. The refusal to accept
the franchise of the town does -not
mean the abandonment of tbe scheme
Mr. Nevin says that the road will be
built, although the promoters have
been delayed for a short time by the
unfriendly action of a few wbo should
love tbeir town better.
"If this Company builds the road
more than $100,000 of outside money
will be spent in Franklin county, and
tbey will continue to bring outside
capital bere which is wbat we want."
