Conomy el several ersens who were
prosecuted for violating the act or 1701 by
selling cigars and tobacco en Sunday.
The ft ret cars called was that against
Jacob lertmall, llie well known proprietor
Of the Pennsylvania railroad restaurant.
He was charged with soiling cigars ou last
Sunday. The first witness called was a
young man by the name of Jehn A. Mei ten.
He gave his rcsldence ns Ne. 127
East King street. He testified that he
went te Zerttnan's restaurant last Sunday
evening having been sent there by
James E. Crawford, a law and
Order officer, te try and purchase" cigars.
He bought a cigar from ene of Mr. Zort Zert
tmn's bartenders and then left the res
taurant. Kmanuel C. P. Rittenbouse alias "boss,"
wascalled. Uctyestined that he went te Mr.
Znrtriiau's place of business en last Sun

from ene of his bartenders. He also saw
Ffed. Wlllieltn tliere nnd he get cigars, but
witness did net bee him pay for thorn.
Jehn K. Maloue, esq., counsel for Mr. Zort
man, asked Itittenheuse a number of qucs
tlens In regard te his "dotectlvo" work,
and Hlttenhouse trled te oyade. thorn ; he
Anally admitted (hat Crawford had em
ployed him te de this kind of work. Mr.
Malone asked him the terms of his employ
ment, but the counsel for Crawford ob
jected te the question. The alderman would
net allow It.
The next witness was Fred. Wilhelm.
His name was called, but he did net re
spond. An attachment w as issued for film'
and he was brought In by uu officer. The
alderman find him 91.02, which Fred,
objected te paying, as he said that he had
forgotten the time of the hearing. The
alderman said the costs must be paid but
he would study evor the matter, Before
Wllbeltn arrived the case had bcen dis
posed of and Mr. Zertiuan was tined $1
and costs. The costs amount te $ LOU and
in case Mr. Zerttnan wishes te appeal the
case te court he has flve days te pay the
costs and de se.
The next case was that against I'oter
Sensonderfer, who lives' en Ncrth Mul
berry Htruel. Jehn II. Mertin testified thut
he went te his place last Sunday. The
deer was open and he went in and pur
chased flye cents' worth of tobacco. Sen
senderfcr did net soil it te him, but It was
another man he did net knew. Jehn W.
Stener testified that he went te Senson Sensen Senson
derfor's en Sunday afternoon and pur
chased cigars, from a young mau he did
net knew.
Mr. Scnsenderfer in his own behalf marie
a statement and said that he sold no cigars
te either of the men, nor did he authorize
any one olse te sell them. The stere is run
by his wife, who takes out a license. She
keeps the stere In order te get sufficient
money te purchase medicines, as she Is
very sickly; the stere Is frequented by a
number of boys who come every day. If
any ene sold te the witnesscs It was ene of
them, but t hey had no authority te de se.
The witness said he learned that Itltton Itltten Itltton
heuse had scut Stener and Martin te tbe
place te try and entrap him.
The attorney for the Law and Order peo
ple abandoned the case against Sonsonder Sensonder Sonsender
ferand amended the complaint se as te
bring a suit against his wife, w he will be
arrested te-day. Peter was discharged.
Rlttonheuso, who figures us the principal
"dotectlvo" in this case, is a pretty well
known character throughout thecity, and
especially In the Ninth ward. "He was a
shoemaker by trade until he embarked iu
the dotectlvo business. It has been pretty
well known for seme days that he
was engaged-in working up cases. Jehn W.
Stener, another se-called detective, is a
cork-cutter and the directory gives his
residence as 130 High street. Mertin
comes from the country, but has.been in
town seme time. Other detectives of this
kind are at work in the city and seme of
them are of the Rittoiiheuso stripe.
A geed RtoyefonQ.ofthesodatoct!vos,who
came dear being "dene up" is current. Sev
eral nights age a well-known gontlemau of
this city, who by the way is quite au athlete,
had business In the northern part of the
town. As he walked along he noticed that
a strange mnu was following and
keeping but about twenty yards behitul
him. He follewod him several squares.
aud finally the gentleman steppod at
the heuse of the friend with
whom he had business. He remalued a
few minutes and when he came out he
found the stranger standing en the pavo pave
inent. He started for home and the mys
terious man followed him, for soveral
squares. The gontlemau became very
angry and finally stepped huddeuly. The
man almost ran lntehls arms before he could
step. Tbe gontlemau caught held of him
and told him in language that was by no
means soft and sweet, that he would smash
him if he followed him. The fellow made no
reply, but steed trembling in his beets.
He reinained en the spot until the gontlo gentlo gontle
jnan was out of sight, and was tee much
frightened te speak or mpve. It was
learned afterwards that the m in, u he was
doing the sneak act, was ene of the alleged
detective of the Law and Order society.
The suit that had been brought against
Mrs, Sensonderfer was withdrawn this
afte'robeu, as the law requires thorn te he
brought within 72 hours afler the alleged
offense has been committed.

Bald they had been attending school,
but ran away from thelr homes In Har

officer by Sergeant Hartley. A reply came
that the boy was a seu or Henry
Reat, of HarrWburg, and the Lancaster
peeple wero ordered te turn them loose,
but Instruct thorn te go towards Harris
burg. The boys wero accordingly dis
charged, but It is hard te tell whether or
net they will go te their homes. They are
very dirty, aud leek as though they had
been riding in coal cars. They noed soap
very badly.

Beldter Captured by the Indians, But a
Friendly Red Man Saves Htm.
Jehn X. Beldler, who dltd recently' In
Mentana, lived in Chatnbersburg three
years alter he left Mt. Jey. A letter td the
editor of tuaciunibcrsbur ihibttc Omlifdrt
front Natt II. Worely, of Housten, Texas,
tn speaking of " X'yV' death among ether
things says: "I have heard your elder
cltlzens speak of him as a daring and fear
less character, but I have since heard from
ene of his friends and bedfellows of that
reckless period a recital of tbe positive
methods adopted by 'X'y' and his band
te rid the Mentana territory of Its lawless
clement. As Judge, Jury and-executtener
he made A success of Ills business and
his old associate liufdrttis. nle that
alter 'X'y' had sentenced and shot four
teen of tue read agents at a single ' sitting,'
it was as safe te hang your money en the
outer latch of your cabin deer as te place it
in a bank vault at Hclena. Ever since
theso stermy4 days he has been pursuing
the same calling, sometimes as a sheritrs
offirer and agajii as Deputy U. S. marshal,
for the peeple of his adopted state nevcr
forget the brave and fearless heart that do de
fended them, and his death removes ene of
the most prominent figures in the earlv
history of Mentana;"
Of his numerous hair-breadth escapes
and adventures columns ltifly be written.
His old frlelld, Mr. Seibert, says that In his
last letter te him. which was only a few
months go, ' X'y " wrote that he was on en on
gaged In the preparation of an account of
his life and adventures. When It came
from press Mr. Selbert was te rcoelve the
first copy. X'y" had been East but once
since he leR ill 1850. This was In '74 nr '7fi.
His locks were gray and his appearance
was much changed. He was a man of
medest bearing, nevcr boasting of his ox ex ox
plelts, but he had a keen relish for frolic
und fun until the last, a characteristic by
which he was well-known hore.
That a man ex posed te se many dangers
should escape without hurt is remarkable,
yet lie was once wounded. This wasln an
oscnpe he made from a band of hostile In'
dlairs. With a friendly Indian he had em
ployed as a gulde both wero captured and
tied te a tree. During the night the In
dian, whom he called "Big Joe." managed
te cut himself loose, when he reloased
"X'y." Beth managed te get seme dis dis
tance away from camp bolore they wero
discovered and pursued. "X'y" received
a shot in the hip and was disabled, when
" Illg Joe " shouldered him and ran three
miles bofero they get te a place of safety.
"X'y" was small In stature. He was a
genial companion and no braver man ever
breathed the breath of life.

NIPPED A PLOT, PERHAPS.
ARREST OP THE Y01M1 PIKE 9P ORLEANS
M PARIS 0.1 FRIDAY.
He Come Inte Vrnuee Upen Attaining;
the Age of 31 as Inheritor of the Pre
tension Abdicated by It la Father.
By prompt action the French govern
ment en Friday nlpped In the bud what
was apparently Intended te be a royalist
coup d'etat, medelled after Leuis Napo Nape
1 eon's. Iliad descent upon Dqiilogne. and
the only coriserhieilco is that tlitt Ouke of
Orleans, eldest seu of the Count of Paris, Is
In custody.
The duke arrived in Paris en Friday,
bearing a letter written and signed by the
Count de Paris, announcing te the faithful
and te all othersthecouut'sabdlcatlon. He
also had with him a manifesto addressed te
the iioeplo of France. Nominally, aud ac
cording te the theory of pretenders, a pro pre
teilder is always a king, and, thorcferc( the
Count of Paris abdicates the tb rene he Mever
possessed. lie consequently abdicates' his
claims us a pretender, and In vlrttle of this
abdication, all his claims, rights and titles
descend te the eldest son, theyouuggeittlo theyeuuggeittlo theyouuggeittle
man new In the hands bf the authorities,
Philippe Leuis Rebert, Duke d'Orleans.
This gentleman Is therefore net merely ene
of many vagrant princes, but the actual
protendor te the threne in virien of his
claims as the hnlr of Leuis Phllippe, aud
also as the heir of the old Bourbon line.
His coming into the country in violation of
the law banishing ntl the needs and direct
heirs of relgnlng familles is u rash oscapade
if It stands alone. The fact that he was
oqulpped with au appeal te the nation shows
his Intention, and may make the escapade
serious for him. If It should be doveloped
that this movement Is made in virtue of an
understanding with the p-irtlsuns of the
monarchy In France, it may be mere than
a mero violation of the law of expulsion.
There is seme reason te bellove that the
movement is made III concert with the
mero dotermiuod opponents of the repub
lic, as the duke repaired Immediately te
the heuse of the Duke de Luyucs, the pres
ont head of a family that has always ad
bored with uncompromising heroism te
the old monarchy. In that house the
yeumt gnntlemau was King of .France
in theory the descendant or Henry
IV, and net merely the descendant
of Leuis Phllippe. On the day before Feb
ruary 0 the Duke of Orleans attained the
age of 21, for he was born en February 0,
lbOO. The abdication of his father, the
manifesto and the movement wero all ap
parently planned with regard te that date,
and in oriler te olectrlf'y France with the
demonstration that the fortunes of the
monarchy wero new in new hands; that
the crown new belonged en the head of a
rcux chevalier, who would dare some
thing for it, aud net fold his hands iu a
auiet corner, like unother Chambord. But
te government was net cauj-ht nap
ping. It was promptly liil'orined
of the presouce of the duke In
Paris and of his whereabouts. It
has net yet been developed hew much
mere may be known te the police, but the
facts en the surface wero sufficient. The
duke was In France In violation of the law
made purpesely for excludiug his father
and himself us enemies of the republic.
This law had been remitted only In favor
of the Duke d'Aumale. Therefore the
Duke d'Orleans was at onee arrested at the
heuse of the Duke de Luyues. He was
taken te the prefecture of police, whero
his identity was fixed beyend all
doubt, and "whero the precc.i verbal of
his violation of the law of banish banish
meet was drawn up. He was then detained
at the Couciergorlo, famous as a place
of detentien for' royalty iu distress.
In tbe afternoon he was arraigned bofero
the military authorities tit the Control
bureau. In respouse te the inquiry us te
the objects and purposes of his visit te
France he said that, having attained hta
majority, he came te France te place mm mm
Belf at the disposal of the military authori
ties. This dash of audacity is regarded as
a verv happv streke, aud fa sure te make
frleiuls for liim, for a gallant FrencirJiriy,
who wants te take his chances for conscrip
tion, is a souiewliat u mi sal and captivating
figure te appear in the dally news. But
this did net touch the sensibilities of the
hard hearted authorities, and M. Constans,
the minister of the iutorler, ordered that
the duke be held in custody.
Further disposition of the case will, of
ceurse, depend upon whether It Is discov
ered that thore was any plot for a general
Royalist movement behind tins meiuem.
Evorvbedy In Paris remembers that the
Royalists of France wero ut n given mo
ment ready te rise, but that Henry V
ebstinately would net face tbe peril of plac
ing himself at thelr head. Poeplo are new
asking thomselvos the quostlen whether
the veung prince has new coine into the
land of his fathers in respouse te a similar
invitation.
This is the only view in which the case
has u seileus f'aee. Aslde from this it
seems only a und be vlsh prank. Nobody
Just new is likely telm very fiorce about
the pranks of a boy who Is related te all
tbe royal families In Eurepe and whose
graudmother was of the heuse of Moeklim-burg-Schworln.
The Duke of Orleans has lately resided
In Lausanne, lu Switzerland. He left there
lh company with the Duke de Luynes,
who is enlv ene vcar bis senior. It Is said
that uoue of his family were awaroef his
intention te enter France, and that tbe
family is ignorant of any plans he may
haveliad, if he had any, ethor than that
alleged by himself when in custody.
It'is also reported that he did endeavor
te enlist as a prlvate soldier, but was ro re ro
fnsed at the recruiting effice for seme In
formality In his application ; that he went
te the Maine te endeavor te overcemo this
difficulty, und was thore roferred te the
ministry, and that fluilly, as he could net
get a satisfactory response te ills rcquest te
be pormltted te perferm his threo years'
military sorvice us au enlisted man, he
wrotea pelite loiter te M. de Freydnnt,
which was carried bv the Duke de Luynes.
This letter was te the effort that he had
no intention te remain at Paris, nor te
create any difficulty, that he was legally
precluded from holding any rank Iu the
army, but that no was omniueus ei me
honor of serving France us a prlvate sol
dier. Shortly ufter this he was arrosted.
Contradictory stories are afloat us te all the
details orthe easc.and particularly as te the
report of tbe abdication of the fount de
Paris.
Onoeflho tlrst things made public was
the repert that the duke had with him the
document of abdication. As the Count de
Paris lias been at sea seme days en his way
te America, this gave the apoarance of
long considered preparation te the inovo inevo inove
incut. It Is new Kisltlvely denied that the
duke has any such document, or that the
Count de Paris has signed any act of alxli alxli
calieu. Pahis, Feb. 8. The I)uke of Orleans,
who was arrested yesterday in this city
for violating the decroe of oxile Issued
against members of his faintly, was taken
befere the tribunal or the boine te-aay.
In reply te the charge, he said he came te
France te perferm his military duties. He
asked for an adjournment of the case, In
erder te allow him te Instruct his co uusel
The court thoreu peu adjourned the hearing
until Wednesday next.

THE 1'HKsHVTEIUAN PBOIII.EM.

Frem the Chtltln Advocate.
The iHtirptmtent publishes a very able
paper read By 1'rflstdcnt Francis L. Patten
orPrincetort college, before tbe Presbyte
rian Secial Union m New Yerk, December
2, 18X1. We have read It with attontlen.
11 e defends the Westminster confession as
respects Rs apparent tieglcct of the ill
vine leve en tbe ground that no one de
nied It, and "thoreforo thore was no
noed of setting It forth In antithesis te
error." and that ihedivlnea " wero able te
distinguish between an exhortation and a
suniniaryef doctrine'." He then shows
that neither the mercy of Ged nor His leve
Oil tile subject of elect Infants he tries te
held the Interpreter td the tanguage of the
confession, and will net allow that the
citation 'or passages from the writings Of
the Westminster divines or the dobatesor
the Westminster assembly should alfect
our Interpretation or the confession. He
says that? ' the confession teaches that
only the elect will be saved ; that theso
of the nlect who are ospable or faith
are saved by fultbi that these of the elect,
such as elect itinwta, are. saved without
laltlu" He admits that -the conresslon
does net "sy that all who die In Infancy
are among the elect ; but neltber doeo It say
tha any who die Ininrancyare among the
ilon-dlecU" On this we remark that the radi
cal difficulty Is that the general spirit of the
confession and the debate"s would roqulre
the idea of seme non-elect Infants nnd
wnuM JiCstlfy their damnation. The use
of the phrase In the confession for the pur
pose oflllustratleu would nover have been
made without the underlying assumption
In the mind of the makers that seme in
fants wero. elect and seme were net.
When Prosldent Patten cemes te speak
ofthedoctrlno of reprobation, that we de
no Injustice te the spirit and statements of
the confession appears from what he thou
saldt "Calvinism leaches that Ged olects
individuals te eternal life out of His mero
geed pleasure. New, If men are saved
because they are elected, and Ged olects
seme, certainly seme must be loll. We
may say that Ged passed thorn by, or rep rep rop
rebated them, or did net nave thorn." Or
course, If that be true, non-elcct Infants
passed bv, roprebatod, net saved, are as
really In the spirit of the confesslon as anv
ethor non-eloct persons. This also Is made
clear by his vindication of the damnation
or all the hoallien. "be they nover se dill-
fjent te frame thelr lives according te the
ight ornature and the law of that rollgien
they de profess."
We are onceuragod te bolleve that our
notice or this subject Is net a violation or
Intur -denominational ceurtesy because
President Patten says: "It must amuse
the thoolegians orthe Mothedlst church te
notlce that Presbytcrian effice boarers are
trying te porsuade the church that honors
Charles lledge and Henry B. Smith as Its
great dogmatic theologians te go evor
edily te the platform of the Romoii Remoii Romeii
strains." It dees amuse us, oxcept that
wodeuolllnd ploastire In seelng a great
historic church "lu the pangs of transfor
mation." It also amuses us te soe the
name of Henrv B. Smith ceupled with that
orciiarlesHodgolnthls passage, because,
though be was indeed ft great dogmatic
theologian as well as a metaphyslclan of
the highest grade, unless we greatly mls mls
tnke, he uirnlshwdtotheimVyicmJcHt many
years age an arllcle designed te show that
thore la no I nsuporable difficulty In the way
of a union of Presbyterians and Methodists.
Certalnly we huve read such an article
from his pen, elther as an original com
munication te the nicpendimieras quoted
in an article in that paper.
Prosldent Patten gives a. line definition
of the distinction between Calvinism and
Arinlulanlsm : "Discussions regarding the
dlvlne docrces among the Reformed
theologians resulted In the separation of
the Remenstrants or Arminlan party,
Calvinlsts holding that election Is or Indi
viduals te overlasting lire out or the mere
trnnil nlmisiire of Ged : Armlnlans, that

thank thee, President Ration, for that word.

Prosldent Patten is a great man lu the
host soiibe of the word. 'It was he who
grappled Prof. Swing, aud by the poweror
truth Isolated that subtle undorinlner or
the Presbyterian faith, and forced him Inte
the Independent position which any ene
who sets hltnseir ubove the written word
should be willing, or Ifnet willing, should
i,i .niimnllrHl tn assume. It was he who.
us a theological teacher In Prlncoten, was
selected te succeed the venorable and re
nowned President McCosh at the head or
uu Institution rivaling in fame and pewer
the best en this continent. He sets himself
thoroughly against revision, bolievos in
friendly relations with all denominations,
but says: "The reunion of Christendom,
as that phrase Is commonly understood, I
de net bolievo in." His ubiltty Is equaled
by his rrankness.
v niinin tn tbe conclusion, mouths age,
that It is luiM)ssible te rovlse the substauce
or that collision without the introduction
orthe Arminlan principles; that the Pres
byterian church cannot eliminate oue doc
trine without the logical oyerthrow of the
Augustlnlaii unil Calvanlstie rubric ; and
therefore that theso who advecate revision
cannot get what they want without uu en
tire change in the doctrinal plu'.ferm orthe
church, which will make them practically
M.tliiclUtn. And this could net be dene
without a division orthe church. Only
twenty years age we saw In this city, with
admiration, a reunion of the New and Old
Scheel bodies or the Presbyterian church
accepting the confession In "Its historical,
that is te say, itsAiigustliiianorCalvInlstle
sonse." We should be sorry te soe two
sects instead of ene.
The discussions thus farlu the ew erk
and ethor piosbyterlos Justify the pre
sumption that the rcvlsera will get nothing
as te the subatance or doctrine, but simply
a coating or sugar laid evor the theological
pills, which they find bitter in the mouth,
nt which thnrouah-ueiiiir. old-fashioned
Calvinlsts maintain have a marvoletisly
beneficial effect upon the health and sound seund
npss of the system, or that ir they get any
thing mero the body must dllde.
