The 100th Anniversary I' Of Dedication of First Meth odist Church in Indiana to be Celebrated?Trials of the Pioneer Circuit Rider Recalled. (From ?lie New York Sun.) [ ' i The Mel liodist* ot Chanestown, 1 nd., are preparing to celebrate j the one hundredth anniversary ^ of the dedication ot the tirst Methodist Church in Indiana. The building, a small log structure, is still carefully pieserved, though sonic wli;?t dilapidated, on its original site at Charlestown. Ill general appearance i' resembles other log cabins, and , as far as any attempt at church ( archil eci ure is concerned it might as well have served for i. j ^ jail as tor a church. It dates back | to a period loufi before the advent in Indiana of .-lone walls, fresco d ceditifis, stained irlass windows and lo ty spires. It was ~ a most insignificant structure in ^ appearance, tut its erection was. i " 1 an evetd of historic importance, as beinu 11)e bediming of great tiling . i The celebration ol its con'onnial wi I be an interestnifi occi- , 1 siou in M.-thodi o'wc'cs, ;ys the Indianapolis Nev\s I - con- . sli'iiciion was the result ot >o?ne ii early visits to Indiana Territory and missionary work done by Peter Carlwright. <>t K utuckv, a noted border preacher ol ilia' , 11 day. lie believed to have de* . 11 liyered the tir.st L'rotQstant ser L illon ever pivache I in Indiana 1 v (Jartwright was travelling t what was known as the Salt v River circuit, in K utuckv, an i j in 1804 he crossed the river and <. proaclied and organized a Ninth v odist. society near (Charlestown. c There were a lew Methodists then, but they had no organiza ( tion and were outnumbered by . the Hantists and (Cumberland Presbvtet'ians.

LI. Ilankinson ' had met a tragicdeath by drowning in tub of water. Eugenia liunkinson, the one| year-old daughter of the family, was a bright little girl and had just reached that age where every anile and every action excited admiration and made new friends. She was just beginning to respond to the caresses that had been lavished upon her by affectionate parents for twelve months. The little girl was just beginning to walk, and the sunshine of outdoor life tempted her on many occasions to play in the shrub hurv mid nerhaim In wonder :?t the great, world and it* unsolved mysteries that stretched from h-er and away to unknown bound I aries. Yesterday afternoon about 3 i o'clock the sun shone brightly i and childish dreams beckoned little Eugenia out into the yard to play on the grass under the i trees. I'mler the watchful eye of ! the faithful mother the infant | made her way down the steps and into the yards, where, as the afternoon advanced, a tragedy ! w:e to be enacted that would well nigh break the heart of the mother, and bow tlit* lather in grief. At j'Jht a moment, when the watchful eyes of the mother were not on the ehihi, Eugenia espied j a small tub in the yard and todilled to it. W ith a child's cm iosity, she grasped the edges of the tub and looked down into the still water, and in some inexplicable manner fell into the t ub and was | drowned. Appreciate Her Good Roads.
