THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH; "WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1891
KgEgUfKlKga
JUDGE EWDTG'S ERROR
llga Hoffman the First Woman Juror
Ever Drawn in This State.
BEE WAS SUMMONED INTO COURT.
Judge White Sees the Mistake and Eeleases
Her From Duty.
LAWTERS 1TX LAUGHING AT TBE COURT
Host men who hare brains sufficient have
an object in life, and lawyers and court offi
cials complain that Judge String's
penchant is for work work work nn-
intermittent work and the selection of
jurors who will do their whole dnty. He
regards a crooked juror as jrreat an abomina
tion as an unjust balance is in the sight of
the Lord. They say that while His Honor
in order to get a va6t amount of wort done
takes all manners of short diagonal
cuts his specialty lies particularly in
the selection of jurors, and when it
devolves upon him to fill in one-third of
the names that go into the wheel, he keeps
tipstaves in a sweat for three weeks, and is
never happy until he has all the registra
tion books piled around him so that he is
hidden from sight. He selected the panel
for this year, and in the list for the fifth
Monday of October succeeded in doing him
telf prond.
A very comprehensive smito passed over
the countenance of Clerk Armstrong the
other day when he read from the venire for
the fifth Monday in October the name of
llga Hoffman, jeweler, Twentieth ward, city
of Pittsburg, but Mr. Armstrong wasn't
there to exercise a censorship of the selec
tion. A "Woman Drawn as a Jaror.
Ilea Hoffman did not answer, and persist
ing in apparent contumacy, the Sheriff was
summoned. He deposed that llga, so far as
his knowledge went, had been regularly
cummoned, so Deputy Sheriff Jim Richards
was instructed by Judge "White to brine
llga to the front to show cause for non-appearance
and apparent dUretpect to ths
court. Richards repaired to llga Hoffman's
place of business in the Twentieth ward,
when a vision of bcautv answered the sum
mons and demanded to know what he
wanted. He explained, and the aforesaid
vision, a comely matron with alabas
ter neck, etc., as poets say. responded
juicily, "I am she," The salient Itichards
caught convnlsively at the jewelry case,
but he overcame the shock after the sympa
thetic llga had thrown ice wafer in his face.
. On his return he reported that Ilea Hoff
man, though taxed and held amenable to
the laws of Pennsylvania, and taxed with
out direct representation wore petticoats,
and Judge "White accordingly made an order
excusing her from jury duty. "While she
might be the peeress of any one doing busi
ness in the court, she was no nearer a peer
than, possibly, a femme sole trader.
Jndce Ewlns Get the Worst or It.
Since then every lawver has it in for
Judge Ewing and it will be many a day ere
he hears the end of it, though lie stauds a
chance of being canonized by the stronc
minded sisterhood, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Sue Anthony, et al., as the man who
selected the first woman juror ever known
to lame. in Pennsylvania. There are plenty
of people who "will contend that His
Honor would not have hurt the
jury if he had selected the entire
panel from the softer sex. In that
event, some people who figure two or three
times a year on the jury list would fail to
find their names there, and suitors certainly
would not complain, at least not all of
them.
If the selection was an unintentional mis
take. Judge Ewinc can plead, that the
Christian name "llga" is so tincommon'in
this country as to be just as likely to be put
in the male category with Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, Peter, etc., as among the Kittys,
Mollies, Idas, Bessics, etc.. which became
fashionable after the -Mary Anns, Barbara
Ellens, Ann Elizas, Mary Janes and
Jerushas began to grate on ears polite.
MANY MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Business Done at Yesterday's Meeting or
the Pittsburg Presbytery Prospects for
a Xeir Iinlldlnc for the Church Several
Call Issued.
The Pittsburg Presbytery met yesterday
in the Sixth Presbyterian Church, Moder
ator Mercer presiding. A petition for a
church at Edgewood caused the appoint
ment of Revs. Fisher.Gordon and Moore and
Elders Sample and Kitzmiller as a commit
tee to investisate the matter. Calls were
extended to Rev. Samuel T. Parmer, of
Bedstone, to the CharJeroi church and Bev.
P. Swartz Crawford, of McDonald, to the
Homew ood avenue church. The call of the
Concord congregation to Bev. Joseph P.
Jordan was placed in the latter's hands.
The special committee reported that the an
nexation of Edgewood to the Pittsburg
Presbytery was entirely satisfactory. Ilev.
Dr. Moore was appointed to request the
Blairsville Presbytery to allow all of
"Wilkinsburg to be annexed to Pittsburg
also.
At the afternoon session Prof. J. C.
Sharp preached his trial sermon as an
Evangelist, and vas afterward ordained.
Treasurer John S. Benshaw submitted his
report shoeing the receipts for the year to
have been $1,405, and asking for a like sum
for the coming year. On motion of Bev.
G. W. Chalfant it was decided that when
the Presbyter- adjourned it would be to
meet again December '21 m the First
Church to hear and decide the call of Bev.
Mr. Crawford to the Homewood Church.
Bcv. J. F. Hill said the treaty with the
new State in the center of Africa restricting
slavery and liquor had been signed by all
the signatory powers except the United
States, much to the shainc and mortification
of all the Christians of this land. The mat
ter was still pending before the Senate, and
he advised those present to have petitions
signed and sen in. One of the ministers
wanted to know if the signing of it was not
lefused becuis; it wa& contrary to the
Monroe doctrine. Rev Mr Hill said tint
was one rcakon, and another was that it
would injure trade relations, and the moral
side of the question was not looked at.
Bev. Dr. Cowan and David Bobinson
were re-elected Trustees of the Board of
Colportage. Dr. Beacom called attention
to the fact that there vas no room at the
bookstore wherecommittee meetings could
be held. This, he said, should be remedied
at once.
Bev. G. W. Chalfant, a member of the
board, said that a committee was now look
ing for a site where a large Presbyterian
building could be erected. The committee
has a place in view, and if the Judges of the
License Court would only withhold license
for another year the property could be se
cured for something near its value.
A vote of thanks was tendered the ladies
of the Sixtli Church for s. sumptuous repast.
It was decided to hold the next meeting of
the Presbytery in the Point Breeze Church,
and the meeting adjourned with prayer and
benediction.
EVAHGELICAL FACTIONS IN COUBT.
The Minority Faction Begins Proceedings
to Oast the Majority Officers.
Clevelakd, Dec. L The minority
party in the Evangelical Association began
to-day quo warranto proceedings, which
will have the effect of bringing the contro
versy to a speedy issue. The minority fac
tjon held their General Conference a "short
time ago in Philadelphia, and elected
bishop and officers for the church and the
board in charge of the great publishing
house in this city. Tiie majority faction
did likewise at Indianapolis, and as they
were already in possession of the offices
their decrees had gone into effect
The relators in the case are the new
officers of the minority party, and the "de
fendants are the officers of majority. The
claim made is that the Indianapolis confer
ence was illcsal, and its decrees, therefore,
of no effect. 'The Circuit Court is asked to
oust the majority from the church offices,
and install the bishops and officials elected
in Philadelphia.
