Weduesday. May 24, 1899. Senator Buckalew, a distinguished Pennsylvania Democrat, who in 18G5 in vain demanded justice for tho South, died at his home in Bloomsburg, Penn., on the 19th. For tho Enterprise. Heath Spring News. Rev. John S. Croxton, the well known Baptist minister, was stricken with paralysis while in the pulpit preaching Sunday morning. Soon after he began preaching the congregation saw that something was wrong with with him. Instead of talking in his usual straight-along manner he kept hesitating, repeating his words, and.so on. After about ten minutes he closed the Bible and sat down. Dr. llinson went to him and they bathed his face in water. Some one suggested t hat he li*? Hnivn I to ho'inl t hom and at once started out. of the church, lie was asked if he could po without assistance. lie replied, "Oh, yes." These were the last words that he spoke. He was able to walk home, however, about a hundred yards away, and to pet in the bed himself. Then he became unconscious a Ad at last accounts he was still in this condition. Mr. Croxton is a pood preacher, a man of strong force ol character, and greatly loved by his people. Probably no man in the county lias as great, influence as lie, and he uses that in licence lor good. * * * * Mr. Amorv Crockett received a telegram Sunday morning stating that his lather, Mr. Stanhope Crockett, of Yorkville, had died the night before. No particulars were given. Ixit it is supposed that he died suddenly, as it was not known that he was sick. Mr. Crockett used to live here and was well liked by everybody. * * * * Quarterly meeting was held in the Methodist church Saturday? the first service in the new church. The church is now completed, and is a beautiful building. Mr. William Bird, of Lancaster, had the contract to finish the church (Contractor Cauthen having died when he had the work about half done), and he certainly did a good job. The painting was done by Messrs. Griffin and Owens, of Lancaster, who also did a good job. It, i? nn snrmll ?V? ! ??? tn - ? ? ?? Vima^ VIZ I# III I u n nice church in a country community.

Newspapers, Street Cars and Railroad Excursions Being Operated on Sunday, and , Indignantly Criticise Congress and the President lor Allowing Roman Catholics to Erect a Chapel at West Point. Minneapolis, Minn., May 19.? Sunday observance was the ques- i tion which took the major part of the Presbyterian Assembly's time to-day. Most of the long afternoon's session was devoted to an earnest and often excited discussion on the part of the special committee on Sabbath observan , ces. In the eud the committee's eight resolutions were adopted i with slight amendment, and two were added. In Ihe discussion the Sunday 1 street car, the Sunday train and 1 railroad excursion, the Sunday newspapers, the Sunday working Presbyterian and every form ol activity which is not in harmony with the literal meaning of the Fourth Commandment was con- , demned. Indignant command- | ments were made when another ( special committee reported that it had not been able to keep con < gress and the President from ' granting the Roman Catholics 1 permission to erect a chapel on the West Point Military Academy reservation. In the debate on the Sabbath resolutions almost every speaker gave evidence of being imbued with the feeling expressed in the words of the committee. "The American Christian Sabbath is in iminent perfl ; in tact, in many of our large cities and in other parts i i : l 1? i *ji tun mini, n is airt'HUy nearly lost. This means that American liberty and American institutions are in peril, for of these the American Sabbath has been both the foundation and protection." An attempt to get the phrase "Christian Sabbath" substituted for the phrase "American Sabbath" in the resolution was defeated. As adopted the resoltions deprecate the secularizing of the Sab bath, urge members and young peopie oi me cnurcn to realize! the importance of Sabbath ob-1 servance, Legislatures and Congress are urged to protect the American Sabbath, the American Sabbath Union and the Woman's National Sabbath Alliance are commended, every pastor is re commended to preach on Sabbath observance on some Sabbath of next October and to take a col lection for ihe Sabbath Union; the board of publication is requested to prepare and Sabbathschool superintendents to use a specific Sabbath observance leaflet, sympathy is expressed with three millions of Americans, who, because of Sabbath desecration, are compelled to do secular work on the Sabbath. President McKinley's attention is respectfully called to t lie fact that employees of the postofTice and many other deparments of the Government are compelled to work on Sunday. THE FRKKDMAN'H BOARD IN DEBT. Minneapolis, May lib?The moderator of the General Assent-1 blv issues the following nnn?iil l/J r* - i f " " ail Presbyterian churches in the United States : ''Inasmuch as all the boards of our Church have closed the year without aiiy indebtedness save the Freedrnan's board, I, Robert F. Sample, moderator of the General Assembly, in session at Minneapolis, Minn., do heieby appeal to all Presbyterian churches throughout the United States to make an offering for this cauRe on Sabbath. May 21, and repoit the same to me by telegram Monday morning. This appeal is made that, for the first time in twenty years, our Assembly may conclude its sessions free from the burden of debt, which amounts to $40,000. Rout. F. Sample, Mod'r. For Ttao Enterprise Let Butler Lead! , Kellogg Building, Washington, D. C., May 18, 1899. ro the Editor of The stute. I see by The State received this morning that (Jen. Hampton declines the public subscription to rebuild his house. This is very creditable to him, aud what might have been ex pected/but I trust the project will not be abandoned. The matter ought to be put in the hands of a committee with authority to ask for bids to rebuild the house meantime collecting the money to pay for it. I am quite sure every patriotic man and woman in the state would be glad to help in a movement so emineutly proper and praiseworthy. I am ready to act in any capacity where it is thought I can be of service, and to make my contribution. M. 0. Butler. We agree fully with Gen. Butler. The movement ought not to be abandoned, but rather a committee should be chosen to direct it. We take the liberty of nominating Gen. Butler as chairman of that committee. Ab Hampton's former lieutenant in war and colleague in the senate, a and friend always, he is eminently qualified to lead. What Ray the people??The State. One of them says, Araeu ! And he believes they all do. * * * The State goes on to say : Gen. Hampton holds no office. He has saved no money. He has, we believe, a plantation in Mississippi, but our information is that it is heavily mortgaged and yields only wo or three hundred dollars a year above the interest on the mortgage. 11 is land in the suburbs of Columbia is also, we are advised, covered by a mortgage. If he were a wealthv or weil-to do man, or even in comfortable circumstances, we would acquiesce in his refusal to accept aid. But the case is such that to acquiesce in it would be greater disloyalty to him than to overrate it.. A lady who went out to his place informs us that she was shocked to find him utterly destitute. We cannot be silent, even in respect to his pride, when wo get such advices as these. In such circumstances we deny that he has a right to say "No" to his friends, and they will deny it also. We suggest that Gen. Butler take the lead and select a cr?m. mittee to assist him; that they meet in Columbia and determine the course to follow. That is the best and quickest way to bring about practical results. To which 1 again say,amen ! It is a pity that one who has done as much tor his people as Hampton has should, through misfor tune, suffer for the necessities and comforts of life?and it should not he allowed. His pride?com mendable pride though it is? must not he allowed to stand in the way. Let the suggestions of Antler and The State he acted upon?at once. Junius.
