The Presb tery of the Cumberland Presby terian Church met yesterday in the Shaoyside Church. There are only 16 delegates, and all were present but four. The Moderator was the Rev. J. R. Morris. The main question before the Presbytery was the question of eldership, which was brought up tlirougn an appeal made by Thomas Elliott, of the First Cumberland Church, Wvhe avenue and Congress streef, Re. J. B. Koebne, pastor. The Presbytery re fused to recognize his paper as an appeal, but only as a memorial asking the opinion of the Presbytery. Mr. Elliott made the point that as he bad been elected an elder he could not be deposed, except upon an appeal to the sessions. The decision reached by the Presbytery, after a long and heated discussion, was to tbe effect that the relationship of Elder could be dis solved without trial, if it was mane by the re quest of the congregation. The appeal could then be made to the Sessions In the case of U K. Smith, an Elder of the Cumberland Church, who had appealed from the vote of tbe congregation against his eldership, it was de cided that he was still an Elder.techmcallv.but that if the congregation does not want him thev ma take from bim his powers giving hira the rizut of appeal. The point made b) Mr Smith was that if once an Elder always an Elder, un ll regularly deposed. There was another point brought up in the Presbytery that caused a lively talk, and that was temperance. Lemuel Laughlm introduced a resolution in which it was urged that the churches should maite an asrgressive movement against intemperance, and pledging the minis ters to ue their utmost endeavors in politics against all men who favor license. This was voted down, after a long debate, the majority being overwhelming. Another resolution that caused some debate was a motion that any member of the church who does not attend or contribute within one ear shall be dropped trom the rolls. It was adopted. WILLIAMS EELEASED. Detective Beltzlioover Returns Without the Accomplice of Fitzslmmoos. County Detective Beltzlioover returned at 11 15 last night from Ohio, where he had gone after G. B. Williams, wanted for com plicity with murderer Fitzsimmons in the rob bery of John Schmidt's jewelr store at Home stead. Mr. Schmidt accompanied Beltzhoover, who was armed with a requisition froniGovernor Pattison and indorsed by Governor Campbell, of Ohio Williams attorney got out a writ of habeas corpus, and notwithstanding the Gov ernor's warrant and Mr. Schmidt's testimony as to the robber, and Williams' own acknowl edgment as to his identit), the Judge decided that the detective had not produced evidence to show that Williams had been in Homestead on tbe day of tbe robbery, nor that he was a fugitive from justice, and for that reason ordeied Williams' discharge. Detective Beltzlioover was totally unprepared for such a decision, as it has not been customary heretofore, after a Governor lias issued a requi sition, for the prosecution toprodnce testimony further than toproe tbe identity of tbe pris oner. Beltzhoover will immediately take other steps to secure Williams' return to this county. Fits, spasms, St. Vitus dance, nervous ness and hysteria are soon cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine.

SOME GOOD WORDS FOR HIS CHIEF. The Administration of All the Departments Is Commended. C0NGKESS GETS ITS MEED OP PRAISE Boston, April 8. The largest political gathering of the kind held in Boston for years was the first dinner of the Republican Club of Massachusetts held in Music Hall this evening. Covers were laid for 810, be sides tbe guests and speakers, and, with the spectators in the gallery, more than 1,000 people were present. President Eoger "Wol cott sat at the middle of the head table. On his right were Secretary B. F. Tracy, Lieutenant Governor "William Haile, Hon. Joseph H. Walker, Congressman Elijah A. Morse and ex-Governor Oliver Ames; on his left sat Senator Nelson "W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, ex-Governor J. Q. Brackett, Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, Presi dent Henry H. Sprague of the Massachu setts Senate, Congressman F. T. Greenhalge and General N. P. Banks. jBfWhen President Wolcott introdnced Sec retary Tracy, the latter was greeted bv ris ing and cheering. Tne Secretary, alter ex pressing his thanks for the welcome ex tended him, paid a high tribute to the lie- publican party and the present administra tion. Good Words for the President. He recognized as the underlying power of the latter the clear intelligence, the firm will and the high conscientiousness of pur pose of President Harrison. He spoke of the diplomatic triumph of the Secretary of State. He spoke of the great work of Sec retary "Windom in the Treasury Depart ment, aud made a feeling allusion to the last scene in his life. He described the good work accomplished in all tbe other de partments of the Government, and defended the Fifty-first Congress against the charge of extravagance. The Secretary then gave a detailed account of the work in which the Navy Department is at present entangled, and concluded as fol lows: "One last point in naval affairs remains to he considered tbe question ot the employ ment of labor at the navy yards. For 50 years this has been tbe one weak spot In naval ad ministration. Whatever the party in control of the Government, it seems hitherto to have been powerless to exclude political influence in tbe employment' of navy yard labor. It is not enough, apnarently, that the mechanics and workmen in the Government shops should be Republicans or Democrats they must wear the collar ot tbe ward bosses who run the local political machine. The practice is an ulcer on the naval aaministrative system, aud I propose to cut it out. Apnlause, The Secretary Outlines His Policy. "The details of tbe system which I propose to adopt are being prepared, and in a short time will be in full operation. Its essential features, as applied to the new aras, are: "First Tbe appointment at each yard ot a Registration Boat d, to register all applicants for employment in the department of unskilled labor, to be selected as required, on the princi ple of 'firo come hrst served,' preference only given to those who have had experience in the class of work for which they apply; to those who have served in the army or navy: to those who have families to support, and, where all other considerations are equal, to those possess ing superior puysical qualifications. "Second The registration of all applicants for positions of skilled labor, who can give evi dence of experience at their trade, to bA certi fied in the order of their application under the same rules of preference, aud their employment on trial for a period of probation after tbe neceesary test of proficiency, to be ultimately graded or discharged according to their merits; ana "Third The selection of foremen upon a competitive examination, so conducted as to bnmr out their fitness and qualifications for the positions they seek, open to all comers who can show the requisite experience. The boards will consist nf officers of the navy engaged in conducting the work of the yard. Three Objects to Be Secured. 'I propose to carry out this new system, and so to regulate it that three ends shall be secured: First, free and opencompetitlon; second, employment UDon grounds of merit, to be determined by non-partisan experts engaged in and responsible for the work: and third, ab solute publicity of every detail. And having begun in tbe way I have indicated, I do not propose to stop until the principle of efficiency and worth is the only test of navy yard em ployment, lam satisfied that such a system will be in tbe interest, not only of tbe work, but of the workingmen; that it can be carried out so that it will remove not only all machine politics from the navy yard9, but all suspicion of machine politics; that the economy and efficiency of the work will be promoted, while the community will be sure that a navy yard in its midst, instead o being a focus of local political intrigue, is tbe place of employment of a body of indeDendent and self-respecting workingmen. whose only road to promotion lies in good work, and in whom slackness, indolence or bad habits will surely lead to discharge. Results of Civil Service Reform. "Whether the present civil servi-e law is the best that could be devised to improve tbe civil service of tne country I do not know. But this 1 do know, fiom personal observation in my own department that the persons appointed under tho system are unquestionably more efficient as a whole than those selected under am svstom of pure patronage; and I know, further, that no Republican charged with tho responsibility of administering one of the great executive departments of tbe Government can be true to himself, to the faitb of the Republi can party, or to tbe people of this great nation, whose servant he is, if he fails to employ any and all means within his power to elevate, purify and render more efficient the civil ser vice of the country." henator Aldrich was the second speaker. "I see throughout the country,' said he, "evi dences of a reaction in public sentiment in favor of the Republican party. Democrats have claimed their economic policy superior to tbat of the Kepublican party, principally on the ground of the latter's tariff pol icy as against tho interests of New England. The attitude of the Demo cratic party on the silver question was lightly referred to by them. One Democrat, who has been President, has written a letter on that subject, bnt it remains to bo seen whether til a man is more powerful than the whole organization. If re-elected he could not fail to carry out its requests " THIETY QUAETS OF NITHO-GLYCEBINE. Their Explosion Strews Five Acres With Mangled Human Remains. Petroli Ont., April 8.

The last will was drawn on January 30, 1S82, and since that time codicil after codicil have been affixed. Soon after the will was drawn Mr. Barnum made a sensation by calling together a number of prominent physicians to examine into his mental condition aud make affidavits as to his complete sanity, which they did. This was to guard against any possible contest upon al leged grounds of incapacity. The last codicil made by Mr. Barnum was on March 30, a week ago last Monday. For "Western Penn3yl tania.

The Lives of the Hungarians Con victed of Killing Michael Qoiun DECLARED FORFEIT TO THE LAW. Judge Stoire in Refusing a New Trial Hands Down, an Opinion. A TBEI AFFECTISG SCENE IN C0DET The lives of three men were yesterday de clared forfeit to the law in satisfaction for the murder of Michael Quinn at Braddock on the 1st of the year. Andrew Todt, Michael Sabol and George Bnsnok, who were convicted of the murder in the first degree, had sentence of death pronounced upon tbem by Judge Stowe. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when the Judge entered Criminal Court No. 1, fol lowed bv District Attorney Johnston and Colonel Blakeley. The court was packed by an interested crowd of spectators who had assembled to hear the fate await ing the convicted men, who were led into court and placed at the bar. The nervous glances the three Huns cast about them, and the idded sullennessof their faces, due to a dread of what was to follow, drew more than one glance of pity toward them. They knew nothing of what was transpiring around tbem, and were but dimly sensible tbat their lives were at stake. Pronouncing the Judgment of Death. Andrew Todt was called nefore the bar for judgment. Through tbe interpreter the Judge asked him if be bad anything to say. He re plied that he was innocent. Judge Stowe then pronounced the sentence of death upon him in the usual manner, everyone present rising and preserving the most intense silence as the sol emn words of judgment fell from the lips of the Judge. The interpreter repeated the words in the Slavish tongue to the condemned man, who raised bis hands and face toward heaven and with choked utter ance and streaming eyes protested his inno cence of any participation in the deed with which he was charged. Tbe scene was im pressive and affected many of tne spectators present. Todt was led aside and babol was then called up. Tbe second of the men seemed calmer than tbe first and answered the nsual qnestion in a firm voice. He likewise protested his inno cence. When the sentence was interpreted to him be looked as if striCKen with a palsy and staggering into a chair beside Todt fell to sob bing like a child. Rnsnok is tbe youngest and most intelligent looking of tbe trio. He declared that he was innocent of the crime, because he was not at the mill on the day ot its occurrence. Rusnok did not betrav any fear until tbe guttural words from the interpreter telling him the sen tence pronounced upon him by the Judge fell upon his ear, when he broke down and wept very bitterly. The three men were then car ried rather than led back to jail amid the sym pathy of a good many spectators. Reasons for Refusing a Xsw TriaL In his opinion refusing a new trial Judge Stowe reviewed at length the evidence concern ing tbe riot and the part taken in it by Todt, Sabol and Rusnok, and the manner in which Quinn met his death. It was clearly shown, he said, that Todt had beaten Qolnn with a dan gerous weapon or clnb, and that the facts strongly indicated tbat the particular blow struck by him was the primary cause of death. It was also shown that babol and Rusnok were present and also committed a violent as sault on Quinn, striking him and beating him. Continuing he reviewed tbe law defining murder of the first and second degrees, and repeating oortions of his charge to tbe jury on that point. In conclusion he said: "Tbe evidence showed a violent attack made by all three defendants. One blow was first struck by Todt which the jury believed was intended to kill, and afterward tbe old man, when disabled and. as it would seem, stricken so tbat he would likely die. was caught by the two other defendants, held by Rusnok, while the other. Sabol. beat him, and after this, while he was on his knees, he was again beateh by Rusnok. "If the facts do not justify the jury in be lieving that there was a deadly intent in the minds of the defendants, I am at a loss to know what amount of proof the law requires to justify a verdict ot murder In tbe first degree." The motion for a new trial was refused. The Clerk of Courts yesterday received from District Attornev Johnston the record in the case of Alex Killen. sentenced to death for the murder of Mrs. Rodent at Tarentum. It will be forwarded to tbe Governor this week for the issuing of the death warrant. ' HEW YOBX ABKS PE0TCTI0S'. Resolution for Better Harbor Defense by the Board of Trade. New Yoke, April 8.
