The Liite-nt MlnUtwrial Hcaudnl 4 Clergyman V till Four Wlvea-llia Trial lielure u Clurcli 1 omirll. A short account of some startling facts which liavc come to light in regard to Rev. James l)o Lois, jut-tor of the Baptist churcli nt Sehuylors vllle, Saratoga county, New York, has been published. The Troy Tinug gives the following Mntory ol the scandal: Tho reverend gentleman claims to have been a very wicked and dissi pated man during the earlier part of his life. The history of his first marrlago is involved In i.reat obscurity. In fact, all that is known about it is from his own contagion to his third wife, which is to the effect that he became weary ol his lirst spouse aud sent her off with a tin ped dler, who kindly took her olf his bauds. It has not yet appeared as to whether ho received auy txebange in tin or not. Soon after he married his second wife, a very estimable ladv, and the daughter of a Judge in the western part of New York. According to his own confession he soon killed his second wife by drunkenness, neglect, and hard usage. Duiing this time he became cou verted and entered upon tho tniulstry in the Baptist church. Henceforth his walk seems to have been "slaudicular." At Yv'ellsvillo, Allegheny couuty, he was accused of an intrigue with a Mrs. Jones. This place became too torrid for him, and he went from there to a charge in Canada. He was soon aceused of mdiscrcot conduct, and after getting Ills charge into a perfect bfoil of disseuslou lie left. He then enlisted in the army. Soon after en lifting thoughts of sweet Hsleii Weller led him to seek a divorce from his abandoned wife, and a divorce-broker lawyer iu New York was set at work to secure it. During the pendeucy of the proceedings Debois says he received a letter from his attorney statiug that he had received a letter from a brother ot the wife announcing her death. This was a great blow to him, of course, hut hi found early coubolation iu a marriage with Heleu Weller. Not long after he was settled over the Sixth Street .Baptist Church of New York city. Humors of these peccadilloes followed him there, and ho was induced thereby to paaceably resign that cum ;i . He then came to the present "seat of wnr '' Scbuylervillo. His black record soon leaked out hero also, and affairs Anally culmi nated iu his trial by a council of four Baptist clergymen, which is now in proirress. Tho abandoned wifo (who did not die after all) and his oldest son, now twenty-six years old, are both present, ready to confront him and swear to the injuries which he has done them. Full proof of most of the facts here stated will be adduced on trial. Mr. Debois is bold and deliant, and claims that he can put to rout all ids accusers. Eminent counsel have been rctaiued on each side, and a niott extraordinary church trial will probably bo had. The village is in a perfect ferment over it. The church is sadly divided over the mat ter, although the friends of tho accused aro very lew, notwithstanding his great ability and the ingenuity of his defense. A criminal prosecu tion for bigamy seems imminent, and great events are at hand. ROMANCE. A Cheap Music Box uud iho New Yorlt Union League. A Nev York correspondent of the Boston Ji.arual writes as follows: In tl e interior of Tennessee one of the most lafhiouable of the Now York pictorials fouud wiiy. In its advertising columns was a notice Unit in Broadway a first-class musical box could nt; purchased for the low price of $5. This ad-M-rtismeut attmcted the attention of a spirited 't'ennetsce lady. Unable to buy a piano, the itcxi best thing was a music box. She scut to the hous-o in New York, cutting out the notice, and ordered the Instrument to bo sent by ex press, C. O. D. In due time a letter was re celved declining to fill the order. There wen ho many dishonest people iu tho country, th letter said, who ordered goods and wheu they were sent refused to take thein, thus throwing the express charges ou the house, that a rule had been adopted to seud no1 goods unless money accompauied the order not much, but euough to secure tho paying of the expenses. The price of the In strument was 5. The whole could be sent or any part of it. The lady mailed 41, and in duo time the instrument arrived per express, with the bill, 5 $1 credit, $1 due seveuty-live cents express charges, all of which was duly paid. Ou unpacking the box a little pewter whistle was found luside, such as children play on with tho mouth, worth about ton cents. The victimized lady placed ull the papers together, and. with a spirited letter that would have douo ciedlt to the inteusest female Rebel in tho war, B' nt them to General Kcuuedy, Superintendent of Police. He knew that tho arties could not be found at the place addressed; so he put a wa'xiu over the Post Olllce. tracked the tricksters to their dt n,and demanded and received back ull the inonev, wuicu was stiui to icbuu m icuucsccd. A reply soon came back full of gratitude, and with some statement about the sufferings of the woman herself in tho Union cause during the war. Her statements wero confirmed by a letter from the Postmaster. This correspondence was taken by General Kcnnody to the Loyal League Club. It was read amid great applause, aud it was unanimously decided to send to the loyal widow in Tennessee, on behalf of tho Loyal League, a music-box such as she thought she had purchased. A fine oue, for 50, was selected. When tho Importer knew tho destination he de ducted one-half. John Hoey franked the Instru ment to its destination. Tho letter in acknow ledgment of tho receipt contained a graphic account of the astonishment of the people in the South that a lady "in the back woods of Tennis eo" could get justice doue her in New York, and that a New York olllclal could be a gentleman, a Union man, and a man of honor ( the eauie time. AN AFFECTlXft SCENE. Kev. Itobert I.nlrd Collier and II U Cblcugo t oalfrevuilun. At tne conclusion of tho regular services at v A rmmh tiiu ufaualnli f'hiiMicrn. nn Knnrittv last, Rev. Robert Collier addressed his congre . . i i i . i. . t .le gation, saying, m buosiuuco. vuuv uu .uuuuuj evening would occur the annual sale of pews, und a uew year la the history of tho church would begin. This, then, was the proper occa sion for him to aunouuee to his brethren that he .1 .). iYiulliiriitlin n ...mil" tmntr tliA nrm crecation of Unity Church, Hoston, to take ,;n(T rra anH thniich hft hiul nnt fullv rniLrlrt tip bis uilud to abandon his Chicago people, yet ho was not, ready to ulve a negative reply to bis i Prston friends, lie then sat down, whereupon I POVftrnl mcnilifrii of ihn rnncrrnTn lnri ' - - - - - - --n aro-u and appealed to him, in eloquent ti-'rns. to remain in Chicago. Half tho con gregation were in tear., and a more affecting sccue is seldom witnessed. Mr. Collier could not resist this "home" thrust. Springing to his let t, he exclaimed that under no consideration would he 4eave Chicago; his mind was made no, fully nnd Irrevocably. He would live and die with them. And then there was ''joy uucen flncd" in that congregation. Tho people could scarcely contain themselves; where sadness had but a moment beioro reigned supreme there was now sunshine and happiness. Tears of disap polntmcnt and anguish gave way to tear of joy und good will. Mr. Collier pronounced the benediction, and then such hand-shaking and congratulations followed as to convince Mm that he had not made a mistake in concluding to rcmaiu at the head of tho Church of the Messiah. MADAME 1'AUqUA. low Inn I'm Plrttir of a Nnble Itlval of Anna DlrklnNoii. A Cincinnati reporter thus dollvers himself: Madame K. O. L. Paroua, who lectuied last night at the Temple, was'born on t.he Island of Hay ti. Her father was a Cnrib Iudiun of Ilatl, and her mother a ncgrcss of Madagascar. Mie therefore unite in herself the blood of two races and of two hemispheres. Her father was a sea captain, and commanded a vessel in the African trade, lie saw a comely voting negress at Madagascar, and, becoming smitten with her charms, took her home with him and niado her his wile. A few days after giving bir'h to Iter first child she died. Mrs. Parqua's father was killed in one of the revolution of the country, and tho lecturer is the last of her family. Mrs. Parqua Is apparently about twenty-five years of nge, a widow, and about the si.o of Miss Anna Dickinson. She somewhat resem bles Miss Dickinson in the earnest, vehemence of her manner, but the black sister has a more musical voice than the white one, and is more of a natural orator. In complexion, she resem bles a "Cuba Six" a dark olive, clouded in spots. She has a wealth of very black and glossy hair (not wool) which curlsilike tho ten drils of a vine, and hangs over the back brain in a tangled yet graceful mass, forming a huge natural waterfall. The high check bones and straight nose proclaim the Carlb blood, while tho largo mouth and prominent teeth are de rived from Africa. The lady was arrayed In a fashionable robo of changeable silk of orange and green, which well suited her complexion. The sleeves came a littlo below the elbow, and, being wide at tho bottom, allowed the frilled midcrslcevc to be seen. She wore a very large lace collar, fastened at tho front with a yellow bow, and her waist was en circled by a yellow ribbon. Her feet were en cased in thick soled leather times, aud her dress trailed behind, after the style of Miss Anna Dickinson, but not so stiff. A chemise with heavy frills at the bottom and a petticoat of red flannel were occasionally visible. Like Miss Dickinson, she spoke without notes, and used no desk or table. She wore white kid gloves, and spoke with a foreign accent on some words. Her enunciation was clear aud distinct, and at times she became quite eloquent when speaking of the wrongs ot the black race. Tho audience was quite meagre, there being less than a hundred persons iu the hall, and tbevo were principally colored, with a small sprinkling of white ladies and three or four white mcu. A UUXOM LAWYE11ESS. IUIbs I.. Uarknlo Becomrn a member ol the WeBturu Hur. The St. Louis Times of the 20th inst. says: The strong-minded womeu who have been In cessantly laboring for years to secure a recogni tion of their rights are in a measure reaping their reward. The State Senate gave them an engrossing clerk, and the board of water com missioners recently added Miss Chvtp to Its staff as a clerk iu the water rates olllce. Long before this the Government acknowledged tneir claims by appointing two ladies one of them Miss Jtedella Bates (Mrs. Dr. Fischer) a uotary public. Yesterday Judge Ivnight travelled a long distance in the path of progress by Issuing a license as u practising lawyer of the St. Louis bar to Miss L. Barkolo, a student of tho St. Louis Law School. This, we are pretty reliably In formed, is the first instance of this kind that has occurred in this country, which is un doubtedly the most progressive of all civilized nations In the treatment of the woman question. The Missouri female suffragists should certaluly take encouragement iu the success of their co laborer. Miss Barkalq Is a native of Brooklyn, New York ns was Miss Bates and Is a woman of more than ordinary ability. Two years ago, alter having read Bkickstono and other elemen tary law books, Bho made application for admis sion as a student at Columbia College, New York, where she was peremptorily refused. Nothing daunted, however, she came out West and settled In St. Louis, where she was admitted without difficulty to tho St. Louis Law School. For eighteen months she had been assiduously devoting her energies to the study of the science, and her fellow students all agree in declaring her by far the brightest member of the class. That there is no question of her ability was shown yesterday at the examination, where she promptly and correctly answered every question propounded to her. Judge Knight, although overflowing with gallantry, gave the lady no quarter. The most abstruse and erudite ques tions were propounded to the applicant, but not once did the wise judge catch the fair student tripping. Miss Barkalo is about twenty-two years of ago, of a buxom figure, amiable and really Intelligent face, and a large and expressive eye. (This is a figure of speech she has two.) She is now a member of the St. Louis bar, and considerable interest is manifested to witness her maiden eff oi t. THE HOME OF THE BABIES. Report of the MUter Olrectora 43U Babies Airruor iwpcriTru. The parlors of the Foundling Hospital, New York, were more crowded than ever yesterday by beauty and fashion on charitable deeds in tent. Over a hundred ladies were present, and the great piles of baby linen brought In and dis tributed gave evidence of their earnestness In supporting the institution and of their industry. Quite an amount of money that had been do nated was also to be seen ou the tablo in front of the lady President. THE RETORT OF THE SISTER DIRECTORS showed that 430 babies have up to the present time been taken Into the asylum. Thirty-five were found In the basket in the vestiDuie during the pa6t week. Last Saturday ton were brought In. Some OI tno new arrivals are oviuuuuy um a few days or even hours old. Others who tiave learned to Know tneir motuers ueioro being transferred to tho care of the Sisters, miss them sadly at first aud cry plteously all day long. A DEAD DA11Y was yesterday to be seen for the first time on a visiting day. The littlo waxen corpse, with Us hands folded over Its breast and holding a bou quet of snowdrops, lay In the little dispensary ou the second floor. It was neatly but plainly dressed In a long bby sack of Naiusook muslin. It was a touching tight. Both of the colored babies are dead, mucU to the regret of the Bis ters and the society. The Foundling Aid Soci ety Is composed of ladle from all sections and ot all nationalities. Protestant, Catholic, Jew or Gentile, whoever possess a heart touched by the Bufferings of those little waifs of humanity, the foundlings, and are willing to contribute their means, time, and influence to their relief, are gladly welcomed. M?UA1, EQUALITY. AlonMnmi Axoni'inilnn Uinln-rt -Ai'llnn ol" the Norm Aini-rn ua I uok ii' Union. The various Turner Assoc ations of Now York, ns well us of other parts of the country, aro grently cxcitHd over Hie action of an association in New Orleans with reference to the admission of a colored man to oue of their public enter tainments. It appears that the Turner Association of Now Orleans held a masquerade bail a few weeks ago, to which Hon. Oecur J. Dunn, Lieutenant Governor of tho State of Louisiana, a colored man, was invited by the coui-nlttee. Mr. Dunu, availing himself of the invitation, was intro duced by the Reception Committee to their room, nnd afterwards to the ball room. Tills sorely displeased a lariro numb.tr ot the mem bers, and the result was an indignation meet ing, held soon afterward, wheu the following resolutions were adopted: lltnolvfd. That the Tumor Association of New Orleans, hs a body, constaers tho Introduction of i . . .. t it..... i t....inn....t nr th.. u..a r ' III l. Ullllll, liicuiriinub OUn:i'" " i in; ui Louisiana, by Individual members, on the occasion or thu iiiu(iiTatf bull held at Turner Hall, In tills city, as a crime against Itself, likewise as a violation ol decency towards the RUesw ami friends present, und as a uuani act of usurpation on tlio part of Indi viduals, iu order to represent the Turner Ass wla- i tum of Kcw Orleans (for selllsli anil personal rea sons) us a body recognizing and advocating the s em I equality of races. Jirwttirti, Thar, aside from the publlo insult and the wrotn thus enacted, tlioso concerned, In order to serve their own interests, have, by the aoovo act, committed a crime nimftibt the Turner Association, by endaiiijeriiiK Its welfare and existence, throwing discord und uiseoutuiit Into our ranks, and averting fii.m the Turner Association the esteem ami suppoit of i lie public, which It has gained by continued and noble mrua. JtiMHtrcd, That all those members who participated In Hie Introduction or Oscar .1. Dunn to our late ball bp brought to account at the next meeting of tho officer, and be there treated according to tho cou solution of the society. These resolutions are in direct opposition to tho platform of the North American Turners' Union, the first plank of which reads as follows: Th North American Turner Union purposes, by unltiug all societies stiudlnu on the following plat form, to assist them In their endeavors for educa ting their members as men of powerful bodies ami free minds, and It Is Its especial aim to bring, by all means at Its command, the endeavor for radical re form in social, political, ami religious mutters to the correct understanding of Us members, and to work for the realization of theso reforms aud for the equal rights of all men. The Executive Committee of the Union has therefore taken ttc matter in hand, aud de manded an explanation from part of the New Orleans Turnverein, concerning Its resolutions. Should the explanation be unsatisfactory, the result will be tho expulsion of thu ofi'eudlug association. ) 3 STIt ESS IXU ACCIDENT. Mnklns of a Flnt Itont-A Man nnd hU Wlfa lirun ueil The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Ky.), of Monday last, says: A most distressing accident, resulting In tho drowning of u man named Gilbert Stewart and his w ife, occtircd in tho Youghioglieny river, opposite Coultcrsville, on Saturday night. Stewart aud his wifo bad been at Coultersville, stopping with Mr William Boveridge, a rela tive, which is some seven miles above McKccs port, and in company with two men, named Byron Malone and llarry Jacobs, started for their homo on tho opposite side of tho river. They took passogo iu a rudely-constructwd scow of scarcely sutlicicnt capacity lor three persons. After they had proceeded some distance tho boat commenced leaking, but the occupants de cided to continue ou their course towards the opposite shore. Tho parties who were not row ing endeavored to keep tho boat afloat by con stant bailing, but despite their most energetic efforts the water gained on them rapidly. The night was quite dark and the occupants of the bout becoming bewildered lost their way, and finally the leaky craft, after being kept afloat for about an hour, sank. Two of tho men nar rowlv escaped drownlnir, but succeeded iu reach ing the shore. While Mr. Stewart was endea voring to rescue his wife both were drowned. Search was made for tho bodies and tho river was dragged iu the vicinity of tho sad occur rence, but they have not j'et been discovered. Mr. Stewart was a coal miner by occupation, nnd had been in this country but a short time. Three small children are made orphans by this ead occurrence. SHOCKING. A IMnn Ground ITp In a Phosphate Mlxtnir-tub. About 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning a young man named William Brlncr, about twenty-four years of age, employed at the bone-mill of Miller '& Smith, beyond the Reading Rolling-mill, met with a horrid death by being ground up in the phosphate mixing-tub. The tub is of wood, about five feet In diameter and two and a half feet high, and an upright shaft, supplied with a number of iron arms, revolves in the centre, making some twenty-five revolutions a minute. The machine is situated in tho second story of the mill. Brincr and a carpenter wero engaged in cleaning it out at the time of the accident, and the deceased had got inside of the tub for this purpose, when by some mischance the belt ing was shifted from the loose pullay on which it was running, starting the shaft and instantly killing Brlner, whose body was terribly man gled, nearly all his bones being broken. 8o tightly was the body wedged lu the machine that it required a considerable length of time to extricate it. The man who was with Briner at the lime did not seem to be able to give any cause for the accldeut, but it was probably the result of carelessness. He also narrowly escaped being caught in the machinery. GENERALITIES. Jainea FLU, Jr., Defeated. A meeting of the Board ot Officers of the 0th Regiment, N. G. 8. N.
