The event marked the dedication of the newly remodeled church and the honoring of the patron saints of the church. Special services were held in the church Sunday morning with His Grace The Most Reverend Ben­ jamin, archbishop of Pittsburgh and West Virginia officiating. He was assisted by the church pastor, the Rev. Ivan Ladizinsky. The Rev. Peter Kreta, dean»of the Pittsburgh Diocese and pastor of St. Mary’s Church, McKeesport, Pa., was among the members of the clergy who participated in the services.

A short talk was delivered by Dr. Arthur Coleman, president of Alliance College, Cambridge Springs. For Last Time (Continued From iPage One) But troubles continued to mount. Patronage declined.

He said: “I don’t think the circus is fin­ ished by any means. The tented version may be gone. I think it s a smart thing for them to avoid the hot July and August days.

Wednesday when Harrison Rogers', 46, of 1027 Kerry Lane, appears for a hearing before Lawrence Park Justice of the . Peace Joseph Cresciman. Rogers, former vice president of the Rogers Brothers Co., Albion, pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of blackmailing his father, the late Louis Rogers, the company founder, of $100,000. Dist. Atty. Herbert Johnson, Jr., who directed filing of the charges, said the younger Rogers resigned his position last January and sold his interests to the firm, which manufactures truck trail­ ers. He then allegedly demanded $100,000 from his father in exchemge for withholding informa­ tion from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Johnson said. The district attorney said the father was very iU and paid the money to avoid fighting with his son. The elder Rogers died Sept. A onetime vice president of the Rogers Brothers Corp., Albion, I Harrison Rogers, forty-six, 1027 Kerry Lane, Friday was charged with allegedly blackmailing his father, the late Louis Rogers, the I company founder, of $100,000.

The warrant was obtained from Lawrence Park Justice of the Peace Joseph Cresciman by Chief County Detective Roy Mong. The former company official pleaded innocent to the charge. Tlje JP set a hearing for 9 a.m. Wednes­ day. Rogers, who leased out his residence here, has been in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Plans were be­ ing made with Florida authorities to arrest him there, but it was learned by Johnson that Rogers returned to Erie a few days ago for a visit.

It was a sad ex­ cursion. They were taking their last trip on the last passenger train of the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railway, The Bullet will retire from serv­ ice Saturday, March 5. A handful of train-lovers stood on the icy W. 12th sf. sidewalk Wed­ nesday in front of the antiquated passenger depot. They awaited the approach of the bullet on its two hour and fifteen minute run.

The Bessemer Bul­ let, once cited in Ripley’s ‘‘Believe It Or Not,” is one of the few trains in the country that obeys traffic lights and even stops for pedestrians. The Bullet’s big black and orange Diesel bearing the numerals “801” sniffed into the railroad yard and nudged the bumper at the end of the line. Behind the mighty Diesel were one passenger car and one baggage car. Reservations on the Bullet are not at a premium. That’s why the train is being discontin­ ued.

A man by the name of Schoen car building industry. The cars tion. were built by the Schoen Pressed) Steel Company of McKees Rocks, which later became the Pressed Steel Car Company. Two hundred of the cars were designated as class H2, Nos. 5501 — 5700, 40-ton capacity, of Schoen design. The first two cars in the 1902 train are of this design. This company was also prevailed upon to build four hundred 40-ton hopper cars of Carnegie design, as shown by the third car in the 1902 train. These cars wre designated as class H3, Nos. 5701—6100. The gondolas in the 1902 train are also Schoen design; no Car­ negie design gondolas were built until 1905 when some were built at the newly formed Standard Steel Car Company at Butler, now the Pullman - Standard Car Man­ ufacturing Company. This com­ pany was formed to enter the rapidly expanding field of steel car manufacture, as all the railroads were becoming interested in build­ ing steel cars and scrapping wood­ en cars. Testing Ground Thus the Bessemer became the testing ground for the early detO- -n-H- signs of steel cars. Due to the ore and limestone traffic and to the mill service, the Bessemer was able to give them a severe and practical test. The Schoen design soon proved to be superior to the Carnegie design, and for sevei’al years after 1897, all the steel cars, pqrchased by the Bessemer vv'ere .. of the Schoen design. > By 1903 the Bessemer was well on its way in the conversion to steel cars, and all the railroads were building steel cars in large numbers. Subsequently, both de­ signs began to be altered by the introduction of some of features of the other design, and it was not long'until the two larger car build­ ing companies in the Pittsburgh District, the Pressed Steel Car Company at McKees Rocks and the Standard Steel Car Company at Butler, were building both de­ signs and mixed designs, as all car builders do today.
