WILL BE A STONE CHURCH
St. Stephen's Congregation pledged $3000
Toward a New Church
At the Congregational Meeting Last Evening
Committees Were Named to Act With the Vestry in
Securing Additional Funds for Church Erection
The congregation of St. Stephen's Church met in the parish building last evening to consider plans and means for the erection of a new Church to take the place of the structure destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Just about one half of the members of the church were present, the cold weather causing many to be absent. Rev. Edwin Weary presided at the meeting and explained to the members the situation. After a short discussion it was decided to take up a subscription to be used as a building fund. When all had contributed it was found that $3000 had been pledged. This with the insurance gives the congregation a fund of $7000 to start the new Church with. Two Committees, one of the ladies, another of the gentlemen, were appointed to act with the vestryin soliciting additional additional funds.
It has been decided that the new Church shall be built of stone, but construction will not be commenced until spring. The building will be of Gothic architecture and one story in height. Reverend Weary stated today the new Church would cost not less than $15,000 and probably $20,000.

An Old Bell

AN OLD BELL
That at St. Stephen's Church Has an Interesting History
The bell saved from the fire at St. Stephen's Church this morning has an interesting history. The bell was originally owned by Ben Burgess, a brother of Sanitary Officer Burgess. it was purchased at Napoleon, Ark., a small town near the mouth of the Arkansas River, in December 1860. It was placed on a boat owned by Burgess called the "Wheeling Glass Trader" and taken to Baton Rouge, La. in the following February. Next day that state seceded from the Union, and the residents of Baton Rouge went to the boat and rang the bell for almost a day. The boat was then taken to New Orleans and the bell was to be sent to this place, but before it was allowed to be taken from there Burgess was compelled to pay between $5 and $6 custom duties. The bell was taken to Pittsburg on the"Prima Donna" from New Orleans and later brought to this city. It was presented to the Episcopal Church in 1863 by Mrs. Jane Burgess.

ST. STEPHEN'S BURNED
Over Heated Furnace Causes a Disastrous Fire
___________
Loss will reach about $8,000
___________
Fire had been burning for quite a time before an alarmwas turned in - Steps will be taken at once to erect a new Church to cost not less than $10,000.
__________
Fire Last night caused the total destruction of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on Fourth Street. Anover heated heater in the cellar started it. The Church when built cost $8,000, and insurance to the amount of $4500 was carried on the property.
The fire was discovered at 1:50 o'clock this morning by William Kelly, who turned in the alarm. The department made a quick run, and when they reached the church, finding it useless to attempt to save thebuilding, turned their attention to the rectory, and the parish building. Several lines of hose were turned on the church to drown the flames and while this wasbeing done, water was thrown on the other church buildings. No damage resulted to the rectory, but the parish building was partially flooded. This however will cause no inconvenience to the services that will be held tomorrow.
St. Stephen's Church was organized in 1837. For many years the congregation worshiped in a small frame building now standing in the rear of the Church. In 1879 the congregation erected a new building at the cost of $8,000, and on the evening of May 8 last the congregation paid the last dollar of a $4,500 mortgage and burned that paper. Last summer the congregation expended $1,200 improving the rectory and the parish building. Since the brick Church was built the following pastors have officiated: Rev. McKim, Rev. Burks, Rev. Taylor, Rev. O'Mears, and Rev. Weary. the last-named had prepared to observe his second anniversary tomorrow, but this has been postponed.
