J. reschall Thrice Rescues a Mur derer From the Gallows. TfiYiXG FOR A FOURTH REPRIEVE. ti; Case Has Eeen Argued in Ever Court That lias Jurisdiction. COXtlCTED EUT NEVER TBIED Charles J. Peschall, anattorney of Jersey Citr, was in Pittsburg yesterday and spent iihnut three hoars with Judges Acheson and JinftiQztoa asking for a writ to prevent the necuiion ot Edward W. Hollinger, who is lenteaced to be hanged at Jersey City to morrow. Hollinger is a colored man and a native of Ireland. About three years ago he killed his wile in Hndson county, N. J. He accused her of unfaithfulness. She de nied the charge and he cut her head open Kith a hatchet. When arraigned Hollinger pleaded jruilty. Since that time four different dates have been fixed for his execution. Prob ably no other case in the country has been through as many tribunals in the raffle length of time. 3Ir. Peschall has had it in every court that had jurisdiction and in seme that hadn't. He has been success lul in saving his client's neck three times and is now engaged in making the fight for the fourth time. Two days prior to the time first set for Hollinger's execution Mr. Peschall went into the Supreme Court of 2s ew Jersey on a con stitutional point. He claimed that the Constitution of 1814 required that three Judges of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas and the Judges of the Superior Court tboflld constitute the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before whom all murder cases fcheuld be tried. Convinced the npreme Court. In Hollinger's esse the defendant pleaded puiltv before Judge Knapp, who died two weeks later, and Judge Lippincott, Presi dent Judge of the Superior Court. Mr. I'eschall argued that Hollinger had not been heard at all before the court as it iheuld have been ennstituted. and his argu ment convinced the Supreme Court and the man was not executed. Another dav was fixed for the execution. A dav or two before Mr. Peschall went into the United States Circuit Court, and the execution was stopped on a point raised by l.nu. A third day was fixed lor the hang ins of Hollinger, and then Mr. Peschall vent into the United States Supreme Court on another constitutional point. The opinion handed down was one ot the first written bv Justice Shiras. Mr. Peschall lield that Hollinger should have had a jury trial, according to the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees to all citizens equal protection under the law. But Justice Shiras held that, while it might be necessary to give a man a jury trial in some States, in others it would not Another point was then raised that saved Hollinger's neck Jrom the noose the third time. Mr. Peschall's visit to Judges Acheson nd Bufiington yesterday was a quiet one and his argument did not take place in open court Mr Peschall said he lelt very well tatisfied with his visit to Pittsburg arid was r-o sure he would be successlul again, that lie wired Hollinger last night that he need not prepare lor death on Thursday. Hopes to Fool Them Asain. "The gallows have been torn down three times without hanging that man," said Mr. Petchall. "They have them up again by this time, but I think we will fool them again. 1 believe that crime should be pun ished, but I tell you that no man's duty to - is client is done until the latter has been meil and convicted legally, and I don't propose to allow Hollinger to hang until lie has been convicted properly of the crime. It Hollinger had been given a jury trial, he would have been acquitted, and it's an outrage that an incompetent court shall iliegallv say that the man must hang." Although Mr. Peschall intimated that his success before Judges Acheson and Bufiing ton had been quite satisfactory, it is under nooil that they refused to assume jurisdic tion in the case. Judge Bufiington was keei., but he declined to give any facts con- rrning the case for publication. Mr. J'tschall said he would decide by the time 1 e reached Harrishurg whether he would ; to Philadelphia and into the United States Circuit Court there, or gt to Wash 1:1c ton and try the United States Supreme Court again. Di-fcnded Ballot Box Staffers. It will be remembered that Mr. Peschall 'tended three out of 41 Jersey City ballot lux stuffers who had been cpnvic'ted and h-utenced to 16 months in the peniten iisri He came here in August to argue .or a new trial for them, but Judge Acht- i) retused it They were all Democrats. 1'-oently the associate judges and the Gov- mor ot New Jersey met, and granted a 1 .-.id. 'ii to the 41 prisoners. They were to Le released yesterday, and Mr. Peschall mppoed it was done." He is a Republican, 1 jt nas worked hard for the release oi his J democratic clients. A AGEHT HTJET.

It mill be built from tbe loot of Thirteenth street and be at Tight angles to tbe channel. The petition recently circulated by the rivermen to remonstrate against tbe build in;; o! the dike at Lngstown on the plan of Major Stickney was taken up.

A dark mystery with gory trimmings dis turbed the peaceful routine of the West End police force yesterday morning. A re port was brought to them that a skiff cov ered with fresh blood had floated down the river and lodged on the shore near the mouth oi Saw Mill run. The name of W. H. Bigley, a well known riverman irom Logan's Feerry, was painted on the boat and in it was found an envelope bearing the or. ner's address. Visions ot a horrible tragedy floated though the minds of the officers. Tbe ab sence of oars and the fact that one of tbe feats was broken as if in a desperate strug gle confirmed their suspicions. Officers eresetto work to unravel the mystery. They labored all day without success. In the evening, however, a son of Mr. Bigley's came to town and explained everything. On Monday night thieves had stolen 60 chickens and 20 fine turkeys from S. E. Bodgers, of Hultou. Thev had previously stolen Mr. Bigley's skiff and had it in wait ing. The were tracked from Eodgers' barn to the river in the snow. As they floated down the river they killed the poultry on the boat Probably with an in tention to cause & sensation they had broken the seat, smeared blood on the boat and carefully removed all the leathers oi the dead chickens.

TQE PASTOR DID NOT APPROVE IT, And Asked tlie V. 1 Presujterj to rail Him Down Which Was Refused. FINANCIAL MATTERS HANDLED The Presbytery of the United Presbyter ian Church held its last quarterly meeting in the Sixth U. P. Church yesterday. A letter was read from Ber. J. A. Bailey, pastor of the U. P. Church of Sharon, in which he complained bitterly of the conduct oT Presley Thompson, a student at tbe seminary. It appears from Mr. Bailey's letter that he has beeu having considerable trouble in his church Over tome missionary matters, and that the faction which opposed him rented a house within sonnd ot his church ahd held its meetings there, and that youn? Thompson, upon invitation of tbe rebellious tnembers, addressed this new congregation upon several occasions, Mr. Bailey alleges in his letter that this Is a flagrant violation on Thompson's part, not only of tbe courtesy he owes bim as a reeularly ordained minister, but of the rules of the semifiarv as well, and asked the Presbytery to thoroughly investigate the matter. Dr. Bobinson, at the close of the reading of Mr. Bailev's letter, moved that it be laid upon 'the table, stating that the matter could be quietly investi gated before the next meeting, and said that he did not think Mr. Thompson had done anything wrong by addressing the meeting. Rev. Mr. Reed thought differ ently, and wanted to consider Mr. Bailey's charges at once, but when the matter was put to a Vote it was decided by a big ma jority to lay it upon the table. Mr. Beed intimated that there was more back of the charges against young Thompson than was suspected, and thought the Presby tery was not treating Mr. Bailey fairly by not investigating the matter at once. At the close of tbe meetine Mr. Beed was asked concerning the church trouble at Sharon and the charges against young Thompson, but he refused to make any statements wnatever concerniue ci.u.u Dr. Bobinson offered a resolution ajainst tbe repeal of tbe law closing thcWorld's Fair on Sunday, which was unanimously adopted, and a petition signed bv the members of the Presbytery will be sent to Congress asking that bodr not to repeal the act G. K. Paden, financial agent of the Pres bytery, made a short address on the subject of finances, and asked that the methods of other churches in raising money be adopted. James G. Story and J. V. Harris delivered trial sermons. The people at Aspinwall on the West Penn road have started to build a church.

No caso is on record where an areolite showed any indication of havine been twisted, broken or torn from another mass of the' same material. "The true type of meteorite which reaches the earth from outer space is probably sim ilar to that which fell in Iowa county, la., on February 12, 1875. The celestial visitor is composed almost wholly of llthio matter, but scattered through the mass are imall grains or niekellferous iron. Tnis iron may exist in the stony matrix; in all forms and sixes from the rnicrosoopio nodule to the mass weighing several tons. "When the llthio mass comes in Contact with the earth's atmosphere the impact breaks np the matrix, sets free the iron bodies and tbiy reach the earth in the same condition, so far as mass and figure are concerned, as they exist in the original formation. In such" cases it is probable that the stony portion of the Original body is rent into inch small fragment bv the ex plosion that these would not reach the earth in snn appreciable sue. Th larger the masses of iron the more comfdete would be tbe destrnetion of the original body, and the larger lithio meteorites would be those containing the Smaller grannies of iron." AFTEE A LONG CHASE, An Italian Murderer From New Castle I Arrested In Wisconsin. NEW OASTJ.E, Deo. 20. 5eria!. It now seems probable that the murder of Louis de Mafshl will be avenged. On San dav evening, July 24, Michael Tenora, Michael O'Petz and Franceses Nott.Italians rmniovfd at the Hlllsville limestone aflar- ries on the Ohio line, returned from the "Blue Euin" saloon, all the worse for drink.

When the three Italians from "Blue Buin" approached the de Marshi party, Tenora drew a revolver and opened fire. His two companions followed hi example. Louis de Marshi fell dead id the road and Frank was badly wounded. The murderer fled. The murderers were traced to Leetonia and Yountrstown, then into Indiana and thence to Chicago. For weeks past the chase has been a baffling one, but finally Tenora was spotted in a small town in Wisconsin, where he has been arrested. The other two men have not been apprehended.

Mr. Dickey said: , 1 have resi-ned to maintain harmony in the church. The trouble really beitan more than six years ago in the choir. Tills quieted down, and about a year ago a prominent member of the congregation and his wife took offense at what I said In a sermon. That difficulty is felt up to this day. Then other members of the church are dissatis fied because I am not a social Hon, but I nave never negleoted to visit a sick or dying 'member, or failed to go where my paitoral duty called. To sum tbe whole matter UP. they want a new pastor, I suppose, and I will .not remain longer than until next April. The next assembly or the Presbytery will be held then, and I will present my resignation. A minority want me to ko, ahd I cannot stay and have harmony prevail, a It should.
