As Abased Betcher.
There was a prosperous butcher in
Philadelphia who lias ceme te grief be be
eaeM of the disappearance of a Journey
man butcher who had been In his
employ. The Idea Is that the butcher
killed hlre, and en this Idea the butcher
baa geno te Jail and his business has gene
te ruin. The Judge, who has been asked
te permit the butcher te be bailed, has!
declined te de it ; nnd be the butcher
languishes in Jail, while his stall In the
market Is shut and his wife nnd children
get along as best they may.
Of ceure e this is all right If the butcher
murdered Frederick Stahl, the man who
has disappeared ; but It is evident that It
is all wrong, If he didn't ; nnd it ought
te be equally clear that unless there is
pretty geed presumptive evidence of his
guilt, the butcher is meanly treated. He
Is entitled te decent treatment by the
law, even if he Is n butcher ; which te be
B:ems te be n crime in Philadelphia.
Fer there is absolutely nothing else te
convict DIeterle of killing Stahl. Stahl
was his Journeymnn, living in his house
held, and has disappeared from It. A
disseYercd head and the trunk of a body,
said te fit one another, and te be the
head and trunk of Stahl, liave been
found in the Wlssahicken creek, con
siderably the worse for lying there. The
legs have net been found. Anethei
trunk has been discovered ever ki Jer
soy, belonging te a Stahl, which the
officers have by Justice seized and opened,
te find it containing innocent clothing,
owned by an entirely different Stahl, who
has been shirtless for a month, while the
officers of the law have been delighting
thcmselves with the minute inspection
of his garments and their possible bleed
spots nnd darned holes.
They have driven the butcher's herse
up te the V issahlcKeu read un 1 given
him the reins ; whereupon he turned into
it nnd passed a tavern or two and turned
after awhile upon a bridge ever the creek
and whinnied nnd stepped ; from which
we are nEked te deduce that Butcher
Dleterie's herse was driven by Butcher
Dieterle, attached te a wagon laden with
the pieces of the dead Stahl's body,
which were cast from this bridge into
the creek ; and that Butcher Dleterie's
horse se highly approved of tins per
ferinance, in the darkness of the night,
that he whlnniel with Jey when he again
struck the read and the bridge in the
niKht time, and stepped en the bridge te
hear the pleasant splash of the
flesh
dropping into the water. Butcher Die
terle may have a very bleed thirsty
hei3e, but the Idea of hanging Butcher
Dieterle for murder because his horse
likes the Vis3ahlck0n drive and steps en
its bridges dee3 net seem a very sound
ene ; unless it be assumed that Plnla
delphia people de net drive up the Wis Wis
sahlcken after night-fall or step en its
bridges, save te threw bodies overboard ;
whirli we are reluctant te assume. In
truth we think that Butcher Dieterle Is
being very shabbily treated.
Justice Where Due.
The Memphis Ajipeul, which has been
one of the newspapers supporting tl.e
Morrison bill, while It still demands
tariff revision and revenue reform, and
appeals te Mr. Randall te introduce a
bill looking te that end, has the fairness
and Justice te glve that eminent member
of his party credit for many geed quail
ties and valuable serviced, which some of
his present Democratic cntirs and oppo
nents are disposed te forget. It says :
ThH distinguished Ptat.,uian of Peun
sylvania is eus of the recognize aiu
honored leaders et the national Deme
oratie party. His ability and patriotism
are both unquestioned. Hi has tact,
shrewdness, courage, energy and ability,
and has for years burn te the Detnoeratlo

made se many (sacrifices ; by virtue of the
large and hearty spirit in whieh he urged
fergetfulnesa el the past andreoeuolliation

brotherhood which he haa encouraged and
striven te maiutaiD, and by virtue of his
representing a patriotle constituency, who
can forgiye the mad passions born in war,
Samuel J. Randall haa bejn ene of the
cherished idols or fie Southern poeplo.
This is net se important te Mr. Ran
dall himself or te his political fortunes
as It is significant in indicating tha'
there are people in the Democracy of the
Sjuthwest who cau leek behind nilj rl3(
bcrlorte the pasMeus engendered by
the Wattorseiilnu discussion of the tariff
question. Frem some of the rav'jgs
and bitter recr.'mlnatlen of the se called
revenue referciura ti great many excitn
ble persons have been led te sup
pese that the party was in Im
mediate danger of disruption ; and that
every ene of the candidates for the
presidency was te be measured solely by
hla adherence te and support of the
Morrison bill. In that aspect of the
case the nomination of Mr. Morrison, or
rather Mr Watterson himself, would be
preemiuently the proper course, where
as no such thing is at all likely te cenn
te pass. The Democratic candidate

TilK fiudliiB of two or three dlfferrtf

dead animals fished out of the river

presumed, has made the reservoir as
pure, at least, as the rhcr Is below the
mouth of the sewers in the City of Un
wholesome Water.
The church conferences have their
innings this week, and neither prize
flghta nor baseb.ill contests shall absorb
popular Interest te neglect of the
country's religious concerns. The
Methodists, in their quadrennial gather
ine in Philadelphia, present the most
Imposing subject and the most wide
reaching Issues. The discussion about
locating a foreign bishop is watched with
the gravest anxiety because it Is deemed
te be the opening of the great subject of
a fixed pastorate, the increasing demand
for which threatens that itineracy which
has been the life of the church. The
conference committee en revlsals h s
certainly anted with a nice sense
of the proprieties In relieving jeung
ministers of t ie church from the
inhibition formerly laid upon them
"te take no step toward marriage
without consultation with elder breth
ren " ; but it is a little difficult te under
stand why the committee should be se
hard en tobacco nnd yet fear te add te
the list of specific immoralities such
demoralizing practices as "gambling in
margins, bribery, slander and frauds in
elections." In the Reformed church
the old ritualistic questions raise their
heads; and the African Methodists have
quite as turbulent times as any of their
white brethren.
Mcssrts. MimitiseN', Hurd, Black
burn, and ether prominent leaders of the
se called " revenue reform " sentiment
In the Heuse, are bitterly intolerant of
all opposition and freely denounce Deme
crats who differ from them en questions
of constitutional construction or party
policy. And yet these gentlemen de net
have in exclusive monopoly of consist-
etuy any mere than they have it of wis
dom. It seems that they, and a half
sceie of their associates, who ten years
age opposed governmental aid te the
Centennial en constitutional gnund,
are new found voting for a like apprepri
atien U) the New Orleans cotton exposi
tion. Circumstances alter cises, and
thfse gentlemen may yet come te see
that there are Democrats in Ohie, Penn
sylvania, Xiw Jersey and Connecticut.

New Yerk ITerall publishes an extended
obituary notice of him in anticipation of
his decease, unwarned by the fact that a

lived. Quite naturally this time the
doctor's predictions are true, 113 Mr
O'Coner has lived te a geed old age and
could net live forever. When he died
a great and pure man departed te his

In the gonerat oenferonco en Monday
Bishop Harris, soerotary of the beard of
bishops, presented a Topert giving thelr
opinion ou the proposed establishment of
episcepal rosidenoca In Europe, India nud
Africa, and recommending delay and
further rellcctleu, en the ground that the
church Is net yet ripe for the measure.
The report adds : " If it should be se
decided it would net affect our opinion
hlthorte expressed as te the number of
bishops te be oleetod by this conference
Rev. William Swindells withdrew the
amendment nddiug Africa, aud led the
debate by rocemmendiug the measure ou
the greuud of expediency and oempUauoo
with the wishes of n large party lu the
church.
Rev. W. A. Spencer, of Reck River
coufcreuce, suggested that a bishop should
remain in Iudla slxteeu mouths nt a time,
bug enough te be present nt two annual
conference?, se that nt the uext goneral
oenferonco two bishops would be present
who would be familiar with afialrs in
India.
Ram Chandra Base, the East Iudian,
opposed the establishment ; Rev. Dr.
Fowler was npprobensive that the lntluouce
of a resident bishop might outweigh that
of the missionary beards.
Rev. Dr. Uuekley Mid : " We cannot
Icave men te cboeso n rcoidenco, aud te
attempt te elect them te cer
tain residences Is a new and dangerous
thing. The bishops will cither stay or
ceme back. If they stay it is dangerous,
if they oemo back, whero is the ceed they
will de '.' Ktie the bishops de net ngrce.
Bishop Harri.t says ene thing nnd Rishep
Andiews contradicts him. A bishop for
India is a bishop for India, net for Japan,
net for China. It takes as long te go from
Iudia te Japan as te go from here te In
dia or almost as long. Wcsley used te
say " The Lord had revealed many things
te him by showing him the reasons for
them." In conclusion Dr. Buekley said
that the bishops should be sent out for a
lenccr time."
There were a number of ether speeehes
for and against the measures, but confer
ence adjourned without disposing of the
subject,
In the mceting of the committce en
episcopacy the matter of the number of
bishops was considered. The amendment
providing for the election of six bishops
was net agreed te, the vote being yeas, 22,
nays, 44 The araondment recomraending
the election of live bishops was adopted by
avoteof yeas, 39 ; nays, 27. Rev. Dr.
Kynett moved that the number in all be
five if ene or mero are sent abroad, ether
wise that the number shall be four. This
was laid ou the table by a vete or yeas,
37 : nays 30.
Toe cjmraittee or lay representation
discussed the questions befere them at
some length, and finally decided en recom
mending an equal lay representation in the
general conference, and a chauge of ratio
for the ministerial representation or net
less than ene te sixty.
In the committce en revivals another
paper en tne saeject or authorizing unor uner
dained pastors te solemnize matrimony
was reported upon and the whole subject
indefinitely postponed. A memorial ask
inc that no ele be licensed as a local
preaoher who will net wholly abstain from
tne ure et tobacco, was laverably con.
sidered, and a sub cemmittee instructed te
fermulate the matter for the proposed
amendment te tne discipline, the com
mittee recommend that the ancient pro pre
vision for leve feast tickets be stricken out
of the discipline, and also thorcanlremcnt
that nil young minister f hall take any step
tewaru marriage witnent consultation
with elder brethren. A proposal te add
tJ tne specllleatien or prohibited impro impre
pr.etiea, "pambllngin margins, bribery,
slander and fraud in elections " was, after
consiperable discussion, negatived by a
small majority.

Wltnwued uy i,000 Spectator!
It took four minute et netual fighting
for Charles Mitchell, the champion heavy
weight of England, te knock out Hilly
Edwards, who had uover before been
" bested " Instde the ropes. The light
occurred at Madisen Square garden. New
Yerk, en Monday night, the conditions
beiug medium sued gloves, four reuuds
of thrce minutes each, .Marquis of Queens,
berry lilies, the proceeds te be equally
divided. Fer this feur-minute exhibition
$12,000 was taken in at the deer, thore
belng an attendance of 8,000 spectators.
The ontlrecity government, exceptlug the
mayor and possibly the tewu chaplain, oc
cupied boxes in ttie garden. Twe inspec
tors of police nnd four pohce captains
steed with their minions at the corners of
the 24 feet platform. All the clubs
social, athletie nnd hiokery wero elus
tored around this spaec, en which two
doctors or the manly art were te muil
each ethor.
Judge Oilderstecve, l utted States Navy
Paymaster Cunningham, United States
Marshal Erhardt, State Senater Ecclesine,
Goneral Lambeer, commissioner or decks,
aud ether men equally distinguished lu
caring for the public allairs occupied seats
iu the press box Brokers aud bruisers
mingled their voices in a common shout
for Edwards, the light weight champion,
who is the pet of the sporting meu.
Mitchell's beyiah face was greeted with
comparative silence.
Arthur Chambers groomed Edwards and
Willy Maddeu cared tot Mitchell. Beb
Smith acted as master or ceremonies, and
Mr. Goicouria, a member or the Racquet
club, a swell concern, acted as referee.
Edwards, who appeared first ou the
stage, was stripped te the waist. White
knee breeches, white stockings aud buck
skins oempriscd his rig. lie balanced
the scales at 130 pounds, standing 5 feet
4j inches. He is a voterau among sheulder
hitters, having weu flve bare knuckle
rights and lest only one, which was with
Arthur Chambers, ou a foul. He is 40
years old Beth meu hail from Birming
ham, England. Mitchell is only 22 years
old, weighs 154 peuuds and stands 5 feet
5j incnes nigu. Jlttonell s attire was a
trttle less scant, a body shirt being the
addition te his costume. Beth meu were
bandages around the palm or tbe hands te
prevent a spreading of the fingers. After
the resiu had been dropped aside of the
ehair or each principal and had been duly
crushed by the seconds' dexter feet,
Chambers and Madden left the ring nnd
each took a position en the platform out
side of his principal's corner.
Round one Time was called, and the
pugilists stepped lightly te the middle of
the stage and shook hands. Eaeh then
stepped back a pace, put up his guard and
eyed the ether. The meu had near the
same guard left low detvn and well for
ward aud right closely across the body
below the breast. Fer a few seconds they
uneasily stepped about, wueu .olttcnell let
fly with his left a vicious jab at Edwards'
stomach. The light weight made a short
counter and sprang back in time te avoid
the blew. Mitchell followed him up and
led again, but without effect, Edwards
being tee nimble en his feet. Thesetac'lis
were kept up for a rainutj or sj, and al
though Edwards led with both right and
left at Mitchell's head and stomach, he
failed te get in a geed blew, and was
slowly forced around the ring until near
his ewu corner. Here Mitchell made a
savage rush, and as Edwards steeped te
avoid the big man's left he tripp5d partly
en his own chair aud partly In au effort te
squirm out of a clese corner and fell into
the lower of thrce ropes surrounding the
ring and with ene knee en the lloer.
While in this position Mitchell strunk him
a powerful blew ou the hea 1. At once
there was tbe wildcat commotion. Cries
or " foul 1" echoed through the hall.
Arthur Chambers clambered through the
ropes and rushed botween tbe men, and,
although but a little mero thau a mi mi te
of tbe time allotted for the first round had
elapsed, the pugilista wero erdered te
their corners. Technically it was net a
foul, since twoknees and two hands must
be upon the greuud when a blenr U struck
te make it a foul.
Round Second The men wero prompt
te faca eaeh ether, nnd Edwards tried te
ferce the fighting. In one of the first
rallies he landed u solid right hand b'ew
en Mitcbell's head, uml the young fellow
smiled grimly as he made a fruitless at
tempt te counter. Mitchell kept up his
left hand jabs, and sevcral of theni were
effcotive. Edwards rushed te clese quar
ters, and. missing a sweeping slde blew,
Btumblea te the lloer et the stage.
He was evidently wcakening. Within
the next half minute he had
elther stumbled or becu pushed down
flve times mero, and in all this time he
had ioilletcd no punlshment. Upen his
gaining his fcet after the sixth visit te the
lloer Mltehell landed a wicked right hand
blew en the slde of Edwards' head and
ueck, and the light weight was fairly
knoeked down. He seen scrambled te his
feet, but only te be squarely knocked Inte
the ropeH. lle was dlzy and trembling,
but smiling, as he began te rise again.
Befere Mitchell had time te deal a wind
up blew Captain Williams rushed between
the men and stepped the round, while
thore was still half n minute te spare
Edwards could net walk straight as he
started for his corner, but after gettlng
thore and resting a minute he insisted upon
goiugen.
Round threo Edwards was simply n
oepplng block for Mitchell. The big man
qulekly knocked him down twioe. When
shouts of the audioneo te "shake hands"
wero heeded the polleo interfcrcd and the
fight was ever.
IndlcilDB ttie Cincinnati meters.
Tuospeolal grand ju-y appointed te

reeent riots aud the burning of the court
liouse in Cincinnati, made a report ou
Monday, returning 04 indletmeuts against

pert treats at leugth of the causes leading
te the riot, nnd speaks of the common
report that the jurors wero brlbed, of the

The Right Hen. Sir Miohael Hioks Hieks Hioks
lteseh, Conservntlve inember for East
Gleueestnrshlre, moved again en Metulay
his motion of May 2 that the Heme re
grets that the ceurse of the goveriiuiout
has net tended te promote the success or
Geueral Gorden's mission and that steps
te soeuro his personal safety have been
dolayed, This notion was roeoived with
prolonged oheors. The houerablo goutlo geutlo goutle
mau, lu nuking the motion, said he did
net mean te question the wisdom or the
government's policy in demaudlug the
evacuation or the Soudan by Egypt.
What he called In question was the pro pre pro
seut conduct or the government tewnrd
that country. He rovlewcd nil the cir
cumstances which led te the departure or
General Gorden te the Soudan. "The
object or his going," Sir Miohael said,
" was te bring about the oaeofiil ovaeua
lien or the country. A mero heroie eiler
than that made by Genual Gorden wan
uover made bv living mail. Yet wheu he
arrived at Khartoum the government,
Instead of seconding his proposals,
negatived them. With strange inconsis
tency, the government insisted upon i
pnoille policy In uie part of the Soudan
nud went te war In anotlter part, thereby
destroying ntiy chance which General
Gorden might have had for carrying out
his mission. The government wero
worthy of blame for net having sent as
sistance from Suakim. They have
practically doaertod the brave soldler, the
Christian hore, in the hour or peril. This
is tbe general feeling or the outlre country.
England new demands that General Gor Ger Gor
eon aud these who trust him shall be
rescued." Cheers.
Mr. Gladstone, en rising te speak iu
dofeuse of the government's ceurse, was
greeted with hearty and long continued
applause. He congratulated Sir Michael
liieks Ilcaeh en his forcible speech,
but strenuously deuled that the govern
ment had deserted Goneral Gorden. "The
demand for the honorable gontlemau," he
Insisted, "amounted te a war of conquest
against n peeple struggling te be froe.
Clieurs from the Libenls J The war
which the Mahdt is waging Is a war for
freedom. It is that which the honorable
gentleman wishes England te put down "
Continuing, tbe prime tniuister denied that
the government hrw failed te d ene single
net that was uet for the safety aud success
of Geueral Gorden "The charges whieh
the houerablo gentlcmau had just preferred
agaiust the government nre absurd. They
can only be acceuuted for by his lack or
kuowlcuge et tbe true facts, ine real
object or the motion, whatever may be the
ostensible aim, is te displace the govern
ment." Loud cheera from the Ltberals.
Mr. Gladstene thereupon referred te
efllciat dispatches te preve Geueral Ger
den's security and te justify the action
which the government had taken. He
centeuded that the charges failed te nete
the fact that Goneral Gorden had orders
te resort te military ferce if peaceful
measures should net preve successful.
'I have a duty," Mr. Gladstene said fur
thcr, "te General Gorden nnd u duty te
tbe country. Beth shall be performed.
Dospite the scoff of the houerablo gontle
man at the climatic danger nud difficulty,
it may be the duty of the government te
plant a British ferce iu that tcrrible
country, but the government declines te
be driveu en without considering the bleed,
the honor and the treasure of England.
Aud the government also declines te enter
upon a vast Echome of conquest te please a
captious opposition." Cheers.l
