In addition to the regular business of
the convention there were devotional
exercises, addresses, essays, and musi
cal and literary numbers. The open
ing devotional exercises were conduct
ed by Rev. J. Sutcllffe. Then followed
the address of welcome by A. J'owell,
which was responded to by Rev. S. Pen
glase. The business session then fol
lowed and the morning meeting was
brought to a close with benediction by
Rev. Dr. Itateman.

noon devotional exercises. Two es

paper.

motorman had not been exercising
proper care and caution, and was neg
ligent In running the car. He was
talking and chatting with a passenger
who was riding In tho front vestibule,
it being 'that kind of a car, Instead of
looking; out ahead and attending to his
business. The passenger was leaning
against the window casement on the
side of the car "that the child ran
toward, and was thereby obstructing
the view of the motorman. Mr. Pitcher
said that some of the passengers re
marked before the happening of the
accident tha't the motorman was not
attending to his duty.
T. Ellsworth Davis, on the part of
the defendant, was sworn, and he testl
fled that he was a passenger in the
fronit vestibule of the car that ran
down I he Henne child, lie swore that
the motorman was using ordinary and
due precaution, and his evidence was
substantially to the effect that the ac
cident was unavoidable. The spot
where, or near where, the child was
killed was obstructed at the time with
building material. The Jury was shown
a photograph of it as it was the time
of the accident. There were other wit
nesses, but their testimony was In line
with the story thus given. The wit
nesses of the plaintiff said that the
company was negligent through its
employes, tho witnesses of the defend
ant, that the accident was unavoidable.
The case was on at adjournment.
A Diinmorc Horse V.aus.
Before Judge Searle. of Montrose, In
No. 2 court room, the suit of Harry A.
Depuy against Jesse A. Brady, both
of Duqmore, was called at 4 o'clock,
and had gone only as far as the Initial
step at adjournment. In the spring of
1889 Brady, It Is alleged, bought a brood
mare from Depuy and agreed to pay
$650 for the animal. Depuy did not
own the mare, but had her in charge
for John S'ilkmnn.
The mare was in foal, and the agree
ment was that Depuy should retain
the animal until the colt should be
four months old. Brady Is a grandson
of "the late Edward Spencer, of Dun
more, and, us a beneficiary of the
?state, was receiving coal royalties
from Justice Alfred Hand, who Is trus
tee of the estate. Brady gave an order
for $610 on Justice Hand, and got a bill
of sale. The plaintiff alleges that
Brady afterward saw fit to counter
mand the order, and since the mare has
not been paid for. Depuy, who made
the sale, was the first and only wit
ness sworn. The case will go on today.

TERM OF THE BOARD.
Opinion of City Solicitor Torrcy on the
Ambiguous Law.
City Solicitor Torrey yesterday ren
dered an opinion to councils on t'he
question of the term of the members of
thfi board of revision and appeals, the
law upon -which Is decidedly ambigu
ous. This new law, which was not mode
operative until 'May 23 of the present
year, provides that Immediately after
Hie passage of the act and on the first
Monday in May of every third year
afterward' the board shall be elected
for a term of three years. City Soli
citor Torrey decides that the present

t'he members who are to be elected only
about two and one-half years to serve,
notwithstanding the faot that the law
states that they shall be elected for a
term of three years.
WILL CONTEST. CLOSED.

the evidence yesterday at noon In the
case Where Jacob Stahlheber, res pre
senting his six children, who are grand
children of 'Philip Oelblg, late of Arch
bald, Is endeavoring to have the will set
aside which the grandfather made to
the grandmother subsequent to a will
made by hhn In 1884, In which he left
all his property to the Stahlhebers.
The later will devised the estate to Mrs.
Gelblg and she, dying, bequeathed it to
the Hitters, of Archbald.
The. hearings were to establish that
undue Influence, force, and duress were
used In convincing Philip Gelblg to
make the will to his wife. Register
Hopkins took all the papers and will
band down "his decision in few days.
THEY TOOk'nO ACTION.
Proposition to Sell St. John's Uall De
ferred for the Tlrao Being.
Many of the members of St. John's
Total Abstinence Benevolent society,
of the South SMe, at -the meeting held
last night, argued 'that it would be
very unwise to sell the property and
disrupt the organization. They felt
that a move should be made that would
bridge over the chasm that now exists.
The .meitlng came to nothing delinlte
in regard to the matter, but the general
sentiment, especially unions the older
members, was to adopt a policy of rec
oneilratlon and put an end to all the
hops, socials and any other events of
amusement which, 'It h) contended by
the spiritual superiors, have In tho
pint exposed the young people, who
frequented the hall, to the danger of
moral downfall.
While there d'ld not seem to be any
retreat taken from The refusal of tho
members to executo a deed of trust to
Right Reverend Bishop O'liara of the
society's property, yi-t there was a
feeling that a continuance any longer
In the policy of Insubordination would
be very detrimental and unjust.
