Shall Churches Receive as Members Those Who Were Dropped by Others? BBWSI KOTES fEOSI THE CHURCHES. On Monday morning the Presbyterian Ministerial Association held its monthly "quiz" meeting, which is certainly the most interesting and practical one of all during the month. The principal interest centered in two questions, the first of which had re lation to the reception of members into a chnrch who had been either dropped or ex pelled from another church. On this ques tion there was considerable difference of opinion, the Eev. G. W. Chalfant, who opened the discussion, believing that cir cumstances often altered cases, and that no absolute, unvarying law could be laid down, Dr. Kumler thought it never should be done, and Key. Gibson was of the same opinion, feeling that the decision of the session which had taken adverse action must be respected. The second question, "Is the selection of a pastor by a committee Presbyterian in theory and satisfactory in practice ?" was answered by "W. B. Negley, Esq., who has served on four such committees, and there fore did not speak without practical experi ence. He said : Probably the framer of the question had In view the practice which obtains in some of our churches of appointing committees to recom mend a suitable person for pastor. If so, his question is not properly framed, for I know of no congregation which allows a pastor to be selected by a committoe. But let us view the question in both IlEhts. By the first book of discipline of the Old Scotch Church "it apper taineth to the DeoDlc and to every several con gregation to elect their pastor, and this, by section 1 of chapter 15 of our constitution, is the law or the Church to-day, viz.: "When any vrobationer shall have preached so much to the satisfaction of any congregation as that the people appear prepared to elect a pastor, the session shall take measures to convene them for this purpose." Under this clause of our constitution it has been decided by our assembly that it is tho duty of the session when a congregation is vacant to use their best endeavors to promote the settlement of a pastor in the same, in the speediest manner possible, consistently with the peace, order and edification of the congre gation. This being the case, what is there to prevent the session from calling a meeting of the eom-rer-ation to decido UDon the manner of selecting a pastor for their vacant pulpit; and 1 wncn asscmoieci ana property orcamzea wuai is there to prevent the congregation xrom de ciding that a committee of, say, seven persons shall be selected from its number, without previous nomination, that each person entitled to vote shall vote for seven persons, and when the polls are closed the seven persons having a majority of all the votes cast, shall be the com mittee to recommend some suitable person to the congregation, when they shall have unanimously agreed upon some one tor this purpose. None of the rights of the congrega tion have been surrendered they still retain the right to hear the probationer preach and to call, when satisfied with his qualifications. WORK OF THE COMMITTEE. What then, is the nse of the committee? It is in the language of the General Assembly "to promote the settlement of a pastor in the speediest manner possible, consistently with the peace, order and edification of the congre gation." Can a committee promote this settlement more speedilly than the congregation? Most assuredly so; for we find that it is a law of Presbyterian usage that in the selection or a minister his manners, conversation and life, as well as his doctrine and knowl edge, are to be examined into. This is interpreted, so far as congregational action is concerned, to mean: First "Whole some doctrine and ability to instruct the sim ple; that he walks in the presence or God so sincerely that the graces of the Holy Spirit may be multiplied into him; and in the pres ence of man so soberly and uprightly that his life may confirm in the ojes of men that which by tongue and word he persuaded into others." Second "That as pastor ho shall be able to at tend upon bis own charge and vocation to the comfort and edification ul the flock committed to him;" and third "It has been determined that because a man may be fitfor some places, it does not follow that he is meet for others; that the principal places are to be provided with men of most worthy gifts, and are not to accept nf a greater charge than they are able to discbarge. Indeed when a minister Is en dowed with prudence and hath love and respect from his pecple, a greater charge will Do easier to bim than another." To investigate into these qualifications In minister') is the object of the committee. To do this the committee must go to points where the congregation cannot by possibility be ex pected to go, hear preaching, inquire into character, abilities, etc.. and if satisfied hold a conference with the brother, satisfy him that they intend to recommend him unanimously, and no doubt bo will be called, if he will com ply with the terms of the constitution, preach before the people of that particular congrega tion. His consent being had, the brother preachei: he sees the field, feels his position, and If the congregation is satisfied, the mem bers express themselves so to the committee, who request the session to call a congregational meeting to hear a report from their committee, and if the way be clear, to call a pastor. CANDIDATES ALWAYS KEADT. The meeting being called and properly or ganized a call is made and the work is done, which wonld perhaps not have been done for months yet to come without a committee, and it might be (without such a committee) candi datesand I am sorry to say there are hun dreds that are ready to act as such would be allowed in the pnlpit; the people wonld become distracted and divided in opinion and lead to a division of the church. Yes, the selection of a committee to recom mend a pastor is Presbyterian, is orderly and promotive of the selection of a pastor in the speediest manner possible. xue question, cow-ever, as propounded mav be somewhat more difficult to answer: still 1 think it wonld be Presbyterian in theory, if not in practice. For 1 find by the act of Assembly, August 4. 1618, Church of Scotland, that it was enacted "that it doth properly belong to the session of the chnrch as the representatives of thecongiegation to look out for a fit person to be their pastor." If that was good law then, why not now? The session is declared to be so fitted for the work because not of their representative capaciiyfromonhigh,butas rep resentatives of the people. This being so, would not a committee specially selected for the pur pose subserve the ends of the congregation better than the session, the members of which would not have been selected had. that end been in view npon being selected as elders. This plan, however, has not been satisfactory in practice in Scotland. The session in many churches, and it may be in all for aught I know, recommend, but it is with the people to call or decline. In conclusion I wonld say, however, that if a congregation see proper to appoint a special committee to select a pastor, I can see nothing tin-Presbyterian in Hand should think it might work well in many churches practically. Seven men of different minds, education and make-up will most likely cover all the peculiarities of a congregation, and when unanimous in the se lection of a minister would more than likely satisfy the whole congregation. The opinion of a majority of those present was that while there are objections to this method, as well as to all others, still it is a wise plan not only for the committee to recommend to the congregation, but really to complete the work by extending a "calL" It certainly is much better than to have candidate after can didate preach Sunday after Sunday as samples, and then the last one to be chosen, because they are weary of so many changes.

Christ Church, Meadville, has 375 com municants. Tho rector keeps a strict account of bow many times each communicant is at the communion. This is an English custom and does more to make regular attendance than any other known means. At the Second M. P. Church, on Sunday afternoon, the forty-second anniversary of Mr. Robert Marshall as a Sundav school teacner was fittingly observed. For 37 vears he has taught in this school. Over 60 of his scholars took part in the exercises. The paper that Dr. Robinson was to have read before the Ministerial Association on Monday last he was unable to prepare. Rev. D. L. Littell spoke on "Union among Psalm Singine Churches," and W. Weir on the "Na tional Reform Movement" Last evening Rev. Dr. Pnrves delivered the third in the Lenten series of Friday eveninglec tures in St Peter's Church, taking for his theme, "Faith or Sight: Which?" Next Friday Rev. R. W. Grange, of the Church of the Ascen sion, will speak on "The Good Soldier." In reference to the subject of "revision" Dr. Talraage says: "I want substitution instead of revision." "A man who believes in the damna tion of infants himself deserves to lose heaven." "I could call the names of 20 living Presbyterian ministers who conld make a better creed than jonnuaivin." The Methodist ministers appointed a commit tee to inquire as to how it happened that they were not remembered in the disposal or tickets for the opening of the Carnegie Library. Is it wise to make more ot tnis oversight, after Mr. Scott's explanation of the matter. Accidents will happen even in the very best regulated offices. A Sunday school was started in connection with the new organization, of which Dr. Hays is pastor, on Sunday afternoon. Nearly 100 scholars were present. A movement will soon lie made toward obtaining permanent quarters. The committee of Presbytery will report at the next regular meeting as to the advisability of rendering pecuniary aid to this new work. The Christian Advocate says of the troubles in the Evangelical Church: "It looks as If tho whole matter had been degraded to a level of a factional fight ot the most relentless charac ter, destructive of the good name and useful ness of the chnrch." That is the opinion that many have held since its inception. "Blessed are the peacemakers" would be a good text for some concerned. MANY of the M. E. Churches have had ad ditions to their number recently, among them: Janes, 20; Latrobe, SO; Bellevernon, Har mony, 18; Bristolville, O., 37; South Bellalre 32 Byesville, 95; Hendrysburg, 42; Mt. Olivet 11 Cambridge, 58; East Liverpool, 120; Simpson Church, Canton, 60; Salamanca. Pa., lot' Du Bois. 100; Raymond City. W. Va., 8; Tuunelton 109; West Medford. 65; Marshall. 29l TnE CongregationalM recently asked the opinion of certain prominent ministers as to tho expediency of a special sermonetto for children on Sunday mornings. The replies are almost unanimous not only s to expediency but also desirability and benefits therefrom! We believe this is not done in any of the churches in these cities. Is there not an open ing here for this plan of winning the children? A CORRESPONDENT of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Union says: "Passing alone Broadway one evening a young man handed me a card. I thought it was an advertisement of some place to buy good cigars two for five or three for ten, when on examination I found it was an invita tion to attend special services in ht Paul's Chapel the following Sunday evening, issued by the Brotherhood of St Andrew." Is there not here something worth copying for some Pittsburg or Allegheny church? At 11 o'clock on Monday Mr. Moody preached in the Reformed Church, Twenty-ninth street and Fifth avenue. New York City. The church was so crowded that hundreds were unable to get in, then Madison Square Presbyterian Chnrch was opened, whither Mr. Moody has- Lgueu ai me ciose ot me inrmer services to nnd it completely filled. At noon Rev. Dr.' Phillips Brooks, of Boston, preached in Trinity Church, to the businessmen, which was also crowded. Why cannot Pittsburg do something in the same line?

Seven Thousand Persons Went From It to Execution in Two Tears. FAMOUS WOMEN IS DUKGE0H CELLS Within the past few weeks the prison of the Conciergerie has been much spoken of; for, after a lapse of nearly a century, it has once more numbered among its prisoners a conspicuous member of the French Royal family, the Duke of Orleans. At the, time of the great revolution its aspect was very unlike its present one. Bnilt in the reign of St. Louis, it was originally the porter's lodge hence its name, Conciergerie serv ants' hail and kitchens of that monarch's palace, and some of its apartments in the early part ot the present century were still known as les cuisines de St. Louis. In 1794 externally it was cheerful enough, for the first story was occupied by a series of fashionable shops for the sale of gloves, perfumery, ribbons and nicknacks. Under these shops, and indeed surrounding them on all sides, was the series of dismal dungeons in which persons convicted of treason were detained pending their sentence and its execution. In 1825 the greater part of the old prison was destroyed, and, with 27ie Duke of Orleans. he exception of the two picturesque towers known as Julius Ctesar and Montgomerie, and the cell of Marie Antoinette, nothing of the original building remains intact. According to a-very minute plan taken in 1790, the arrangement of the prison during the Beign of Terror was as follows: The principal entry, as at present, was from the inner courtyard which opens into the Palais de Justice. A narrow Gothic door way led to a small inner courtyard, at the far end of which was the guichet, or turn stile, a low door about three feet and a half high, to enter which the prisoners were obliged to bend nearlv double; or even crawl on their hands and knees. WHERE 'WOJIEIT SUFFEBED. Once within, they found themselves in a large and well-lighted chamber, where they were confronted by the chief gaoler, Rich ard. Beyond his salon was a long dark passage, in which the women were kept until they were wanted pour la toilette. Sometimes they remained here a month, their food being handed to them through a narrow slit in the wall. Not a few died from the effects of the horrible stenches with which this stifling corridor was always filled; for the unfortunates were not allowed to leave it for a moment day or night. At the heightof the Beign of Terror it was generally crowded with from CO to 100 persons, and not always of the same sex. A little to the left was a spacious cloister surrounded by ar cades, and having a small fountain in its center. Here the female prisoners were ing, ancf not infrequently in fine weather spend the whole day. This courtyard was separated by an iron railing from a similar one used by the men, who were free to talk with the women, and even to play cards with tbem, through the rails. On the righthand side was a series of rooms known as Chambres de Pistole. This consisted of what had originally been one vast vaulted hall, but was now converted into a sort of dormitory containing as many 0 beds. It was called pistole because here people who wished to have a bed could do so by paying from 27 to 30 livres a month; but it very olten happened that the same bed was let three or four times over, owing to the tact that its latest occupant had been sent to he guillotine. LODGINGS TOE POOSEB VICTIMS. There was another set of cheaper lodgings, with a litter of straw thrown on the ground, and used by those who 'ouldnot pay for more luxurious accommodation. Those who slept here were popularly known as pailleurs and pailleuscs. In the lr.st years of the tyranny of Bobespierre, whea the Tribunal was sending its daily cartloads of victims to the guillotine, from 40 to 50 beds were used every night by iresh victims, who paid each 15 livres for their sleeping accommodation. This system brought in a profitable revenue of abo'u 1 1,0001. a month. A little beyond the Chambres de Pistole a narrow passage led into the apartment known as that of Heloise and Abelard, which had a very fine vaulted ceiling, and was situated directly under the hall of the Revolutionary Tribunal, where the prisoners were judged, and served as a general pas sage to and from the i-all. It will be re membered that in The Dead Heart, the duel between Landry and Latour takes place in the Conciergerie. Externally the Conciergerie was apparent ly modern, having been whitewashed, nnd the Gothic arches of the windows bricked up and furnished with the usual green blinds, so that little or nothing of its orig inal architecture appeared. But internally the ceilings throughout -were vaulted, the doors Gothic, and the whole prison had a thoroughly feudal aspect, which was sug gestively dismal. The first official whose acquaintance the prisoner formed was the chief gaoler, Bichard, already referred to, a fairly humane fellow according to his light. His wife, lime. Bichard, has won a de served place among the heroines of the Bevolution for her respectful treatment of Marie Antoinette and her general kindness to the unhappy victims in her charge. Bich ard had ten gaolers under him, seven or eight of whom were imposed upon him by those In power, and were fearful brutes, gen erally half drunk, and attended by half a dozen savage dogs. ONE night's buicheby. All the memoirs of the time describe the Conciergerie as dreadfully damp and filthy. The majority of the dungeons were below the level oi the street, on that of the river. and infested with rats to such an extent that more than one prisoner was nearly killed by them. In the first year of the republic the Conciergerie was fairly well organized; but from 1792 to 1794 it became a veritable pan demonium, being literally packed with pris oners oi both sexes, beds being made up in what had been the chapel and in some of the passages to accommodate the ex traordinary number of poor creatures who were dooomed to pass here their last hours on earth. To give some idea of its overcrowded condition, the fol lowing statistics will suffice. The prison could contain with ease 300 persons, but cer tainly not more without croel inconvenience. On the night of September 10, 1792, there were 511 prisoners distributed among its various halls and dungeons. According to an official statement recently discovered, M. and Mme. Bichard declared that on that fatal night there were 611 persons in thai prison, of whom 95 were certainly massn cred, and 223 most probably shared their fate; 183 were set free. This makes a total of 328, who, we may take for granted, per ished during that horrible, and, to nse La martine's expression, "infernal" night. It may be well imagined that there was not much attention paid to decency, for the men and women were oddly mixed. With the lightness of heart which characterizes the French, they amused themselves as best they could. They played cards, improvised games, made love, and even danced. Their gaiety was, however, at the best but ah ill adjusted mask, and it may be said of the Conciergerie that its very stones, like the sands ot the Boman Coliseum, are saturated WITH TEAKS A5?D BLOOD, Owing to its proximity to the Palais de Justice, almost every distinguished victim of the Beign of Terror pasted at least a night within its portals. In the cell now con verted into a sort of half chapel and half museum, Marie Antoinette lived a living death from August 2 to October 16 the day of her execution. This cell was then con sidered one of the worst in the prison. It was dark, damp and unwholesome. The walls were not papered, a scrap of dirty carpet, a screen full of holes, a camp bed and a broken chair, were all the furniture it con tained. Mme. Bichard, kind soul, risked her life to make it a little more comfortable, changed the sheets frequently, filled the pitcher with fresh water, and brought her august prisoner peaches and flowers. Not far from this den was the old chapel, now destroyed, where the Girondins sang for the last time le chant du depart, and bard by yet another chapel of even greater antiquity, which in 1794 was the scene of the last night of Bobespierre. Horribly wounded and in fearful pain, the wretch writhed in agony all night, making the place hideous with his shrieks and groans. In an adjacent chamber Mme. Hebert, the ex-nun. mingled her tears with those of the lovely Lucile Desmoulins. They both as cended the scaffold together. In the Salle Heloise et Abelard the pretty couttesan Egle, only 17 years of age, spent three days preceding her trial and condemnation. "By what means do you earn your livelihood?" asked the Judge. "By my beauty, as you do, you dog, by the guillotine," was the sharp retort. TO HUMILIATE .THE QUEEN. It was and this is a detail but little known originally intended to send Egle to the scaffold in the same tumbril as the Queen, in order further to humiliate her. Hearing this, Egie cried out, "Send me, and I will manage to cast myself at her feet and implore her pardon before all the peo ple sales chiens que vous etes tous." Poor Egle was very fearful lest she should "sleep with the devil" the night after her execu tion. "You will rest with Mary Magdalene," said the saintly M. Emery, who was Known as the consoling angel of the Conciegerie. Mme. Roland inhabited a cell on the sec ond floor, where there was a little light, whereby she was able to finish her remark able memoirs. The Conciergerie witnessed the last hours of those beautiful creatures the ladies De Sainte Amaranthe, the vic tims alike of the vengeance and lust of Bobespierre. It heard the last song of Andre Chenier, and it beheld the Christian resignation of the octogenarian Duchesse d'Ayen and her relations the Princess de Mouchy and Yicomtesse and Marechale de Noailles. Hither was brought Philippe igaiite, jjuko ot urieans, THE GBEAT-GEANDFATHEB of the young Prince who was recently a prisoner at the Conciergerie, and from its portals he went to meet a death which be come hioi better than the life he was to for feit. Mme. Du Barry is perhaps the only prisoner,male or female,of whom the expres sion of terror is recorded. She rent the air with cries for mercy, and was forced into the fatal tumbril. To mention all the illus trious victims whose shades haunt the pre cincts of this all too famous prison would be to recall almost everv conspicuous name in the annals of the Terror. There is one young girl, however, who must not be omitted Charlotte Corday. In the cell ad joining that of Marie Antoinette, Huer and Mme. Tussaud were permitted to take like nesses of this beantiful woman, whom Lam artine has celebrated as the Angel of As sassination. From 1792 to 1794 nearly 10,000 persona were imprisoned at the Conciergerie, of whom certainly not less than two-thirds were either executed or massacred. In 1825 the greater part of the old prison was de molished, but in the present century several famous personages have been imprisoned here Napoleon III., after the failure of the .Boulogne conspiracy, and Prince Pierre Bonaparte, previous to his trial for the al leged murder of "Victor Noir. FATHER HICKEI AGAIN OBJECTS. Bo Bay No More Fnlra Will be Held by Ills Congregation. Eev. Father Hickey, of Braddock, has again taken a determined stand in the mat ter of holding fairs and festivals. He says it lowers the tone, not to speak of the morals, of his congregation. Some time ago he expressed himself forcibly against this way of petting money, and was com mended at the time by thousands of the better class of Catholics. Father Hickey says if any more money is needed from his parishioners he wlli take up a collection in his church. Several priests of the diocese hold the same views, but the majority are still in favor of the old time way of raising money. Send for estimates on printing and en graving. Catalogues a specialty.

The Colored Church Fight Will Settled by Judge Collier. be MAT BE KNOWN BI A NUMBER, Gray's Heirs Deny the Philadelphlan's Eight to Share the Estate. THE BIJOU TICKET SELLEE FINED The argument In the dispute about char ters for the Ebenezer Baptist Church was taken up yesterday by Jndge Collier. James S. Young, Esq., repreresented the Bev. Pryor faction, and James Prescott, Esq., the other side. Mr. Young stated that the present mem bership of the church, corner of Cqlwell and Miller streets, was 262,and they wanted to secure a charter. Twenty members who had been expelled from the church had filed an application for a charter for a church un der the same name. The Ebenezer Church was organiz ed in 1870, and the congregation have been worshiping ever since in the building built by them for church purposes. Judge Collier asked Mr. P rescott to ex plain bow he expected to get a charter of the same name as one already existing. The Judge had made it a rule not to grant char ters of the same name to different organiza tions. The object of this was to prevent dis cord and bickering among citizens. CHAEGES AGAINST THE CHUBOH. I Mr. Prescott replied that there never had been any charter granted to the Ebenezer Church and besides there were charges pend ing against the present church before the Baptist Association, Judge Collier replied that it mattered not whether the church was a chartered one or not. The granting of char ters to two organizations ot the same name would lead to contusion. Mr. Young continued his argument by stating that the Baptist Church is an inde pendent church and acknowledged to no nigner Doay. .aacn church or congregation acts for themselves, therefore the associa tion before whom charges against the man ner of conducting the church are pending, has no power whatever over the present church. The church property is in the hands of the Baptist Sustentation Commit tee, and has been all paid for. Mr. Young then went into the charges pending against the church, which are that they do not fol low out the rules of the Baptist Church, and that they hold open communion, allow ing others than those who belong to the church to take part in it. This he denied, and stated that if any outsiders did partici pate in the communion service it was by mistake. Bev. Pryor, once a month, read the book of rules to his congregation, and they tried to live as close as possible to them. WANTED TO NUMBES THEM. Judge Collier suggested that the diffi culty might be overcome by granting both sides charters and designating them as No. 1 and No. 2. All Presbyterian churches were numbered. Mr. Young further argued that the church property was in the hands of the Baptist Sustentation Committee, and as there were charges pending against the present church, there was nothing to prevent that committee from turning over the property to the op posing faction, as it was stipulated that it should be turned over to the congregation of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Mr Prescott staled that the church was built by Eev. Mr. Marshall, and that the 20 petitioners were members of the church. In 1884 Bev. Pryor took charge, and from that date the trouble began. The 20 members were excluded one at a time, and were never notified what the charges were against them or given a chance for a bearing. The appli cation for their charter had been filed 11 days previous to the other, and as court made it a rule to grant to the first appli cants, they should have the charter. Judge Collier said that the church trouble would have no consideration whatever in the case. GRAI'S HEIRS ANSWER. Tfaey Deny tho Pfalladelphlnn'a Right to a Share of the Eitnte. George P. Hamilton, counsel for J. J. Donnell, J. Painter, "W. G. and D. E. Park, executors of B. C. Gray, deceased, filed exceptions yesterday to the account of their trust, which was filed 10 days ago by J. C. Gray, of Philadelphia. It is full and explicit. Denial is made that J. C. Gray is a devisee under the will of B. C. Gray, but admit him to be a legatee entitled to $10,000 by the terms of the will. Tbey also admit that he is an heir-at-law of B. C. Gray, but deny he has an Interest in the estate as such. They deny J. C. Gray had no knowledge of the filing ot the ac count nnd aver that he was familiar with the matter, even securing counsel with a view to contesting the case. They say that his sister, Mary H. Gray, was told that $95,000 in pecuniary legacies given to charitable institutions were void because of no subscribing witnesses to the will. They admit no distribution has been made because of a proposition to compro mise and settle by the devisees and legatees and Sarah G. Park and "William C. Gray, two heirs to J. C. Gray, and others inter ested. They aver that J. C. Gray and others have not said whether or not they would now compromise and have thus de layed the matter of distribution.

Tho Pittsburg and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane and tho Pittsburg Inclined Plane Com panle Finally Lock Ilorni Hearing Bcfaro the Master, D. F. Patterson, Esq. Beginning of a Probably Long Legal Battle. The controversy between the Pittsburg and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Company, plaintiffs, and the Pittsburg Inclined Plane Company,defendants, yesterday came before a Master, D. F. Patterson. Messrs. Jacob H. Miller and John H. Hampton took care of the plaintiffs, and W. A. Lewis, Esq., of the defendants. Mr. Hampton taking the principal part of yesterday's work. Secretary J. F. Grimes was keeping a weather-eye on the defend ant's interest also. Thongh something has been said heretofore regarding the fight, it is pertinent to say briefly that plaintiffs con tend that their right of way from Bradford street to a point above "Heeling's Coke "Works on the Southside is being appropri ated by the P. I. P. Co., while the latter contend that the former want to lay claim by means of an ideal railway survey to oc cupy the whole front of the hill in question and shut ont com petition. Mr. Miller, for plaintiffs, says It's a question of two locomotives trying to pass on one track. Though very interest ing to those immediately concerned and re motely so to the public at large, so far as the issue is concerned, the proceedings so far are, and necessarily so, as dry as the bones in that valley into which Ezekiel was car ried, but it is also evident that before the fight is over there is like to be "a noise and a shaking" and there is like to be a coming together of them that will clothe the subject with interest eventually. The public will not likely weep if the outcome shall be half a dozen planes instead oi two. Mr. Hampton expressed a hope that the matter would be rushed so as to get into the Supreme Conrt before dog-days. The hear ing was only interrupted yesterday by ob jections coming at intervalsfrouiMr. Lewis, who enunciated from time to time "incom petent and irrelevent." Mr. C. J. Schutz testified that he had en gaged Carl Von "Wagner in 1888 to make a survey of a route which is now the bone of contention. "Wagner was employed by the Pittsburg and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Eallway Company. "Witness said "Wagner was competent to make such Burvey, and it was for the purpose of an inclined railway. Carl "Von "Wagner testified that he had been a civil engineer since 1864. He said he had made the plan for the plaintiff from Carson street to "Washington avenue, Mt. Oliver. The course found by triangulation, something on the order of the Irishman's gun that shot around corners, would not, if described, greatly interest an outsider. "Wit ness said the location was a feasible one: couldn't say whether it wonld pay or notj but there were no physical difficulties in the way ot construction, von Wagner said the work of surveying was done openly and in daylight, and the marking pins were such as could have been seen by any surveyor. THE I CALLED II HACAR0NL A Chicago Man'a Ingenious Scheme for Smuggling Valuable Brygoodt. Chicago, March 7. The seizure by cus toms officials at New York of a number of packages of macaroni consigned to Chicago, because fine shawls and other valuable and dutiable goods were found concealed among the flour-paste tubes, caused a stir among Government officials here. "This was an ingenious plan," said Deputy Collector Hitt to-day. "Macaroni is on the free list and a good deal of it is imported, and valuable goods might be got through, we Know but little about the seizure made at New York we know that a lot of macaroni was expected here to-day and that it was seized in New York. "We have learned also that it was consigned to a man who wonldn't in the ordinary course of his business handle the article. "We also know that he never imported macaroni before. Taking everything into consideration it looks like a plan to smuggle. I cannot give the name of the Chicago man to whom the seized macaroni was con signed. So long as the officer does not come in contact with bim it wonld be ungracious to give his name. Nothing can -be done to him even if it should be shown that he knew the contraband articles were in the macaroni. The duty must be paid or the goods will be confiscated." C. D. Stone, broker, said he knew some thing about the seizure. In fact, Mr. Stone was the broker for the goods. He said he knew some goods had been seized at New York, but he wonldn't give the name of the Chicago consignee. He said, however, that his client was not a regular macaroni dealer.

Petnlls of the Disaster on the Lake Shore Road Some Very Peculiar Incl- denU Immedlnto Cause of lbs Wreck. Buffalo, March 7. Full details of the wreck at Hamburg last night show that six persons were killed and 17 serionsly injured. One of the saddest incidents of the accident was that which befell Joseph D. Baucus, a bright young lawyer of Saratoga Springs. A week ago Mr. Baucus was married to a handsome young lady of Borne, N. Y. The happy couple had spent their honeymoon in the "West, and were returning home on the Sallna. "When the accident occurred the lady was pinioned in the wreck. Her body was horribly bruised and her skull bidly crushed. Her husband was injured about the legs and head. The most pathetic incident of the disaster was the miraculous escape of Baby Stewart, the 18-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Stewart, of Eochester.. Mr. Stewart and wife were in the telescoped passenger coach, with the baby clasped in its mother's arms, when the two sections came together. Mother and father were instantly killed, being discovered on the floor of the car, covered with debris, and crushed almost beyond recognition. In the arms of the mother the baby was found, prattling and crying "mamma, mamma," but the mother was cold in death, and strong men wept while the little thing was lifted from the embrace of the dead mother. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were removed to the baggage car, and the ladies tenderly cared for the little orphan. T. H. Brown, of New York, who was on the first portion of the train, says that a baggage checker standing on the rear plat form was the first to discover that the sleep ers had broken loose. He informed the conductor, who signaled the engineer to stop, and the front of the train came to a standstill. The conductor then saw the sleepers coming down the grade at a terrific rate of speed, and shouted to the engineer to go ahead; but it was too late, and a second later the crash came. This sudden stop page of the front part of the train without ascertaining tne position ot, the detached cars was what cansed the collision. The following is a list of the killed : MRS. J. D. BAUCUS, of Saratoga Springs. MR. E. E. STEWART, of Rochester, N. Y. MRS. K. E. STEWART, of Rochester, N. Y. JOHN W. FLYNN. traveling agent, of Can ton, O. JOHN T.
