GIEMAV CATHOLICS' CLOSING DAT
Toronto, Sept. 29. At to-day's session
5f the Pin-Presbyterian Council the report
of the Business Committee was presented,
it snsgested, among other things, that the
question of divorce be referred to various
tactions of the Church for the Collection of
information to enable the Church to decide
what course it should pursue in opposing
the paisftge of laws in any country per
mitting divorce On grounds other than
scriptural ones. This recommendation was
adopted.
The advanced views expressed by Prin
cipal Grant, in his paper on "Wage,"
brought Rev. Dr. Hall, of Neiv York, to
his feet. He said he hoped the public
would not consider that the Council in
dorses all the papers read here. There is
too much condemnation of capitalists
Labor organizations are not always equit
able, and they do not teach sharing in the
losses as well as the profit of capital. It is
not the business of churches and ministers
to discuss these questions.
Avoiding a Doctrinal Point,
Rev. Dr. Caven reported a resolution
that since the churches composing this
Alliance had not conferred Upon it author
ity to formulate or define doctrine, it would
be nnwise and hurtful to take any action on
the resolution relerred to the Business
Committee and presented by Rev.
Dr. Pilzer, of "Washington. This
resolution is that this council
affirms its belief in the history and super
natural character ot the Old and New
Testaments, and that there is not sufficient
reason to deny their ditine authorship.
Dr. Pitzer thought that it is within trie
province of the Council to declare its be
lief, but he gracefullv yields to the judg
ment Of the committee, which was then
adopted unanimously.
It was decided, in connection with the
Xew Hebrides matter, to appoint a deputa
tion from the Council to wait on the Presi
dent of the United States and respectfully
urge prompt and favorable action in rcgarj
to the proposal for an international agree
ment to restrict the traffic in firearms and
liquors with the "Western Pacific natives.
"Why the Sunday I'aper Was Ignored.
The Business Committee recommended
the adoption of a Btrong resolution"in favor
of Sunday observance, and Prof. Hentoul, of
Australia, asked why the clause condemn
ing Suudav papers, which had been origin
ally attached to the resolution, was now
omitted. The chairman ot the committee
said the committee felt St was hardly proper
that one piece ot Sunday desecration should
be singled out for condemnation in a general
resolution ot this kind.
The "Women's Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the Presbyterian Church, now in
convention, have determined to form a
grand International Union, with branches
in every yart ol the world. This morning
steps were taken in that direction Mrs.
Blaikie wa? chosen President and Mrs.
Matthews Secreiary o! the larger union.
The rest of the morning was devoted to the
discission of various topics. Prominent
among thein was the opium habit in China.
' This was with closed doors.
SOCIAL QUESTIONS DISCUSSED.
The Closing Day of the German Catholic
Congress at Newark, X. J.
Newark, N. J., Sept. 29. The final
day's proceedings of the German Catholic
Congress began this morning with a solemn
man of thanksgiving. Bishop Eichtcr, of
Grand Rapids, was the celebrant. Eev. Dr.
Pople, of Washington, preached the sermon.
The subject was, "Eeligion as a Solution of
the Vexed Questions of the Day." He
jspoke mainly on the social question, which
should be viewed, he said, lrom the stand
point of religion, and not as it is treated by
the newspapers or looked upon bv the So
cial Democrats or Anarchists. The school
question was passed over by the speaker in
a few words, but he insisted" that it should
be considered in the light of Cbrist'-a re
ligion. At the meeting of the Priests' Society
this afternoon these officers were elected for
1893: President, Rev. H. Mesener; Corre
sponding Secretary, Eev. "W. Faerber; Re
cording Secretary, Rev. J. N. Enzeberger;
Commissary, Eev.W. Mespaeter; Treasurer,
Eev. J. HoBmeister. The selection of the
place in which to hold the next.congres
was left to the Executive Committee, which
is compose I of the foregoing officers. Either
Chic 'go, Milwaukee or St. Louis will be
chosen.

Alleghenj City Hall Receiving Many Re
pairs Inside and Out
Considerable repairing has been done
about Allegheny City Hall during the past
week. The downstairs rooms ot the police
department, the lockup and the hospital

United States Army Ills Affianced Ap
pears' In Time to Catch Him.
The United .Slates Becrniting officers are
often brought into contact with many
strange and rcmantfe cases. The station
here has its share. The other day a Pitts
bure young man applied to the
officials for admission to the United
States Army, He was nervous and
seemed to be in a great hurry to cast his lot
in defense of America's flag. He passed the
physical examination, had answered numer
ous questions aud was about ready to don
the blue when aSairs took, an unexpected
tarn.
A carriage was hurriedly driven up to the
door. Two men and a lady alighted. They
proved to be the father of the
wonldbe soldier, his affianced and her
father. It was a case of three against one.
The eirl wanted to marry the young man
ana rjotn parents were very wining uu
eager that the two should be wedded. The
young man, however, had not gone into the
race of loe to stay, but being caught,
sought life on the frontier as a soldier,
rather than march to the hymenal alter
with a bride.
Had the rescuing party waited a minute
longer the young Pittsburger would have
been In Uncle Sam's service They arrived
in time, and their unannounced visit brought
the inquiries to a stop. The yonng man
saw the indignant face of his former love
just as she entered the hallway of the sta
tion. He knew what their visit meant. In
one bound he went down into the base
ment, pursued br one of Captain
Mansfield's men. This man who had
tired of wooing made n dash for a window
and liberty. The soldier grabbed him just
in time and brought him baok to the ladv
be ha I loved. They are married now and
he lias given up nil intentions o! entering
the service. The men at the barracks de
clined to furnish names on account of the
social standing of the principals.

years, has been in charge of the Pittsburg
recruiting station, has been relieved. Mon

SEVERAL HEAEBI TOWNS
fSrEClAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
BLaihsviixe, Sept. 29. At to-day'a
session of the Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence the first half hour was given to
Bishop Newman's address to the young
ministers of the Conference, his subject be
ing "Modes of Thought." He said the first
essential is an exhaustive knowledge of the
subject to be discussed, and then it is to be
thought out and applied to the practical af
fairs of everyday life, leaving the vision
ary, purely sentimental and Idealistic to
the romancist of the lecture platform.
Strict adherence by the neophytes of the
cloth to this advice soon give the church di
vines a more robust order of thought and
action.
Eoutine business followed the address.
Reports of the private, public and pro
fessional characters of the ministers of
Pittsburg and Washington, Pa, districts
were then presented by the respective Pre
siding Elders, and were unanimously passed.
No charges have been preferred against any
of the present members of the Conference.
Eev. J. W. Wrighter, ot the Pittsburg dis
trict, and Rev. & K. Hill, of the Washing
ton district, resigned their ministerial func
tions in order that charges might not be
broneht asainst t'nem. This obviates the
necessity for perhaps sensational disclos
ures, and the public can only oonjecture
how badly these particular ministerial robes
have been besmirched.
An usually large number of supernumer
ary and superannuated ministers were sub
jected to examination as to character and
their relations to the Conference were con
firmed and continued. With each succeed
ing Conference this list increases. Among
the deaths of the past year is that of Eev.
Eichard Jordan, of Dcrry station, who died
August 31, in the 81st year of his age. He
was an effective minister for 36 years. Eev.
Martin L. Weekly, born in Virginia in
1798. died May 1, next to the oldest mem
ber of the Conference. Eev. Hiram Sinse
baugh, an ex-Presiding Elder and at one
time looked to as the coming man of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in this section.
also went to his reward.
The afternoon session was devoted to the
first anniversary of the Epworth League of
the Pittsburg Conference. The League
within the boundaries of the Conference had
an unparalleled growth. The principal ad
dress was by Eev. TL N. Eaton.
The principal event of the Conference is
the annual missionary sermon. This was
delivered to-night by Eev. W. C Weaver,
of Mycrsdale, Pa., to an audience ot 3,000
people. His text was St. Mark, xvi., 15:
"Go out into the world and preach the
gospel." He referred briefly to the
origin of the Methodist mission work
and spoke eloquently of the struggles of the
early pioneers in Methodism in carrying
out the injunction of the Great Missionary.
At home Methodism has an herculean task
before it in dealing with the pauper hordes
of illiterate and vicious immigrants swarm
ing to the ports of this country. The Church
must act promptly and heroically. Gov
ernment and Church must work "hand In
hand at this momentous task, and Chris
tians everywhere should gird their loins for
the struggle. The address was listened to
with profound attention by the great audi
ence present, and is pronounced one of the
ablest missionary sermons delivered in
Pittsburg Conference for many years.

to be sent to the State Trearer. A ques
tion as to whether this draft was forwarded
was ruled out Alexander Pardee stated
that after the failure in December, 1890, he
had a conversation with G. W. Delamater
with reference to losses and heavy expenses
in the campaign of 1890. The defendant
said to the witness at that time that the ex
penses of the campaign were very heavy
and he toot the money from the bank. The
conversation was in the nature of a news
paper interview. The witness admitted that

ruled out by tbe Court. Mr. P. Davis test
ified that he bad heard G. W. Delamater
say since the failure he had more to do with

member of the firm. The Commonwealth
then rested.

Levcringer Jones, of Philadelphia, who
gave tbe history of the G. W. Delamater

An. Elopement Now Mnch. Regretted.
The doctor was considered a most eligible
match. He disappointed maneuvering
mammas by eloping with Miss Harriet E.
Greenman, of Mystic, Conn. This was in
1879. This union, however, proved unsatis
factory, and after a very brief period they
lived apart by mutual consent The only
reason vouchsafed by Dr. Stillman or his
wife was incompatibility of disposition.
Mrs. Stillman returned to her parents, who
were wealthy, and the deserter applied
himself to his work.
In 1885 the doctor attended a social enter
tainment in New York. There be met Miss
Schaus. It was a case of lore at first sight,
and as the attachment was mutual, Dr.
Stillman took steps toward securing a
divorce. But Mrs. Stillman, who had kept
close watch on her husband, refused divorce
proceedings. A few months after the
bchaus family left for Germany. Mabel
was in poor health, and the handsome doc
tor crossed the ocean to administer to her
wants. Love was more powerful than med
icine, and Miss Schaus soon regained her
health.
The doctor was in sore distress. He
could not marry tbe girl until he had se
cured a divorce". While in Franktort the
lovers visited the Palm Garden. It was
there the doctor proclaimed his love. On
their return Mr. Schaus asked Dr. Stillman
his intentions, upon which he heard tbe en
tire story of his daughter's attachment, and
approved the engagement, which was pub
licly announced.
The Hoar of Trouble at Hand.
The hour of trouble was at hand. Mrs.
Stillman, when she heard of the betrothal
in Germany, declared that Mabel should
never marry the doctor; that she would then
and ever resist his suit for a divorce.
Dr. Stillman returned to America and
his mother wrote to Mrs. Schaus, saying
there was no hope of her son's securing a
divorce, upon which Mabel's father ordered
all communication between them to cease.
This did not cease, however, and on Mabel's
return he met ber at Old Point Comfort
Mrs. Schaus became enraged, and it is said
Bhe turned her out of her home. Be that
as it may, she left for New York. Dr.
Stillman could not find her, and applied to
a detective agency of this city to locate
MabeL This was on February 1, 1889,
and within two weeks the girl was found in
Cincinnati, where she was studying music,
being the possessor of a magnificent soprano
voice. Her own family had given her up,
and a sister, Mrs. Kenwood, was respon
sible for the statement that she was not
living as she should. This slander was en
tirely refuted later, when Dr. Stillman
went to Cincinnati. He could not legally
marry her while his wife lived. They took
the bull by the boms, and decided to spend
their remaining days together. They
soon afterward came to Chicago,
where the doctor secured a lucrative
practice. A few months later he removed
to the suburban town ot Maywood. With
the couple was the doctor's son by his first
wife. The doctor's "health began to fail.
He went east to recuperate at New York.
In April of this year the doctor left his
property to Miss Schaus, but the legal wife
fought the will and was successful, Miss
Schaus renouncing the bequest
