Adjourned. A SAD FAREWELL. Graoa M. E. Church Congregation and Multitudes Throng to Hear the Fare well Sermons of Rov. Dr. V. S. Creasy An Excellent Pastorate. Grace M. E. Church, corner Fourth and Mulberry streets, was crowded Sun day forenoon to hear next to the last sermon preached by the beloved Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. S. Creasy. The text was was from Revelations: "Be thou faith ful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." The sermon abounded in heart hits. striking illustrations. por traying the wrong and the Christ like remedy and the pathetic portions wherein he alluded to his long pastorate brought tears to the eyes of his sorrowing congregation. Dr. Creasy gave the following sum mary of the results achieved during his four years pastorate; When he took charge Grace Church had a membership of 288. During the past four years 317 names have been added and the present membership is 541. In this time the loss from death, removal by certificate, including the formation of the Market Street Church by a portion of Grace Church members, foots up 118. In the lour years there has been col lected for all purposes $32,186.73, an average of $16.36 per capita for each year of the four, or $65.54 per capita for the entire lour years, and this, he stated, was easily the best showing of any church in the Conference. At the beginning of Dr. Creasy's charge the number of Sunday-school scholars was 200 ; now it has swelled to 392. It was given out at the morning ser vice that in the evening Dr. Creasy would preach his farewell sermon as pastor of Grace Church, and an hour before the time for service the Church was full and the crowd thronged in until all the available space was filled and the congregation overflowed into the lecture room. Many stood in the aisles and at every point of vantage during the even ing service. The audience is estimated ofl.200, and one of the ushers thinks half as many, not finding room, left. All agree that it was the largest congrega tion ever assembled in Grace. It showed how the man and the preacher had taken hold of the hearts of this people, without regard to sect or color, for the gallery was full of colored people. The big audience were silent as the. tomb, intent tocatch every syl lable that fell from the man about whom were entwined the tendrils of their hearts. The text was from II Cor.: xiii chap ter and 11 verse, a part of which was "Farewell brethren, etc." The joy in listening was saddened by the thought of Dr. Creasy's early departure. He thanked the official board, the members, the press, the people of the city, and above all God for whatever of success "had attended his ministry. The great crowd was complimentary and a grand tribute to the personal and pastoral excellencies of the man. Opera House To-Night. That Frederick Warde in "The Lion's Mouth" will be greeted by one of the largest and most cultivated audiences seen here in years is now beyond ques tion. The advance sale of seats is tre mendous. - That there will be a large audience Wednesday night is certain. Those who desire seats should go early. "The Mountebank" is the latest addi tion to Mr. Warde's repertoire. This romantic drama, in five acts, has been adapted from the French play of "Pai laisse" and in ante bellum days was given a high comedy cast by Mr. Chas. Dillon. This comedy element has been to some extent eliminated by Mr. Warde in his adaptation and so modified as to bring out his emotional qualities to the fullest extent, and to employ the entire company in a happy blending of the romantic, humorous and pathetic. The story is most interesting, and Mr. Warde has undoubtedly made it a strong. powerful, forceful and lastful dtama. Edward Wynn was the name of the colored train hand who was acci dentally killed Saturday night at the old Union depot, as reported in the Star. His home was at Mt. Olive, N.

Mr. French thought the telegraph and telephone people should be request ed to remove their wires where they in terfered with the procession. Mr. Gleaves said the wires were not removed by their owners in Baltimore, and they were cut by the managers of the parade. He asked Mr. Post how many parades there were to be, and was answered that there would be only one trades' parade, and on Thursday night.
