Genera Synod of the Reformed Presbyte
, nail Church. I ,
• EIGHTS DAY—MORNING SESSION.
Synod met at half-past nine o'clock, and
was opened with prayer by the Modern
tux. Minutes of yesterday afternoon find
evening read and approved. „ •
Dr. McMaster rose to a question of privi
lege. He had been addressed through the
Commercial in relation to the hymn, it - Part
of which he had quoted in hie speech.' It
was first published in Cincinnati by the
Methodist Book Concern, and was con
demned by the leading papers of that body
in New York. He was not aware of these
facts. He did not certainly mean to say
that any of ..the bodies in Pittsburgh would
sing such a hymn.
Reports of committees on the records of
several Presbyteries presented and ac
cepted. •
Dr. Scott presented, at the request of Mr.
.Stuart, the certificate Ot hit attending phy
sician, as follows:
PITTSBURGH, May 27, 1888. .
• I certify that Mr. Geo. H. Stuart is now ,
under my professional care for a violent at
tack of , spasmodic asthma. I have advised
him to remain •in his room until he can
leave the city, which I think he should do
as soon as posbible. ' Ido not 'hesitate to
say that he cannot - attend the session of
Synod, with, which he is connected, this af
ternoon, without danger to his life, and I
have advised him accordingly.
Very Respectfall,y l
JAMES KING, M. D.
Rev. A. G. Wylie, without being moved
by the certificate, but on the letter receiv
ed yesterday afternoon, withdrew the
statement he made yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Scott wished to know if all delegates
in Synod—whether principals or alternates
--shotdi receive mileage from the incidental
fund of Synoct. It was suggested that this
could be settled by private conference.
Moved by Dr. lidcLeod that ;the vote be
:taken on the question before the Synod at
a venter before twelve o'clock, and that
. the clerk be instructed to notify Mr. Stuart
of the fact.
Dr. Wylie thought the notice would be of
no use, as Mr. Stuart had been positively
prohibited from appearing. .
Rev. Mr. McDowell was willing to give
the whole time to the friends of Mr. Stuart
to speak in his behalf.
Dr. Wylie -hoped ample time would be
given.
Dr. G. W. B. McLeod said unless this
. course was adopted the vote would be baf
fled altogether. .
Mr. Alexander Kerr believed the law had
been violated, and be would vote for the
first resolution, but he could not vote for
' the suspension. Some people had discov
ered their weakness On this subject, and
they had come hero as tailors to clothe
them. For his part he"had never engaged
° in the businese.
Dr. McMaster. said he desired to offer a
few additional remarks on the subjelt.
Fletcher of Salton, said, • , Let me make the
ballads-of the country and I care not who
- Makes the laws." God's appointment for
his own worship and the abiding or not
abiding., by this appointment.cannot: be a
little matter. ' He had already read the law,
and he need not refer to it again. There is
no ambiguity in it. It is to the exclusion
•of all i mi tations and uninspired composi
tions. Up to 18.53 none doubted thelaw.
The defection has taken place since that
time. The Synod did wrong in not nipping
the thing in the bud. These men have
made frequent attempts to change the
law. - The first effort was by_ endeavoring
to corrupt the Church.= Then by en
deavoring to make the standards to conform
• "to the defection, The standard was reaf
firmed at Xenia, and substantially in liew
York last year. The law is not, then, a.
nullity. The mere declaration of law isnot
710 W sufficient. That there is law must be
shown by indicting the penalty. There was
an attempt to stir up prejndice against the
/aw, and excite sympathy for a man of mark,
as being persecuted—a man who came in .
riding on his horse like a Metador with his
short sword. At this point the 'time ex
pired.
Mr. William Bay said the resolution was
so important that he could not, in justice to
his pastor,Mr. Stewart, his friends and , him
self remain Silent, He • did not;think the
real:dation would promote the cause in
tended. ~_ , m a de
Rev. Samuel -Wylie ae a few remarks
against the paper. . '
- Rev. Dr. Crawford remarked that it had
been said that George H. Stuart had en-
tared the • Church avowin the principles
-which he holds on the sub ject of Psalmody.
He knew the time when he entered the
Church and was made an Elder. The late
Dr. Wylie bad educated him (Dr. C.), and
he , knew George H. Stuart never could
have entered ahe Church making such
avowals. Dr. Wylie never advocated any
such sentiments in his presence r and if he
had held them, lie would no doubt have
, revealed them., The law was ,both clear
. -MI definite. Dr.Agylle 'had accused him
• with sleeping when he was making his
wonderfal 0m0,42.ut not in heaven. No,
sir, hearasiidlleAl humanity on the earth.
He was
. net asleep, but .if lie had been
dasleep he would have been' excusabbe, for
- he had heard the same speech four, times,
• and he hoped he would:never bear it again.
Rev. Archibald Thompson said he -be
lieved it was his duty not to give a silent
vote on the subject. Mr. Harsiutw said
404 people' didal:*kriaW,Whirelheir :pas
, -tars -were? }.He' could venire' the house
that on the question before the court the
Bade= Presbytery was a ouit l If the law

o'clock yesterday morning. The train had
reached the above point, and was running
at an ordinary rate of speed, when the cow
catcher of the locomotive struck the end of

Another Flowng Viell.
On Monday night last a well situated on
the fiat on Oil Creek, about two miles be
law
this place, suddenly commended Row
ing oil, gas and water. Altogether about
twenty barrels of oil were produced by six
o'clock yesterday morning and since then
the flow of water and gas has been continu
ous. The well has been abandoned for
over two years, and the engine house and
rig were taken away some time ago. The
-flow was first discovered at about nine
o'clock at night. The Well is now in charge
of Messrs. Adam Carr and William Robin
son, who we are infonnad; will retube and
pump it if It should net Row oil during the
next day or two.--Tfenavilfe Iterald.

What are Medals Worth
The following articles w3l show if the
judges are not right? Sewtg [ machines are
a matter of interest to those who need them.
We present some facts' that they aheuld
bear in mind. In visiting the various of
flees each agent claims Ms to be the best,,
i
and t sometimes appears,hard for buyers
to make a choice.. But there is one thing
Certain, the Weed Sewing Machine is the
beat. 'lt has been sent to the same houses
where others have - been sent, and after a
fair trial'of"both machines; thelitliers were
sent back and the Weed kept. - The'opera
-tors of each' machine have met and tested,
and invariably tire Weed has been kept in'
preference to the others.
Another strong evidence of the superior
ity of the Weed Machine, -is that it has
borne off the palm at Paris, and the various
State and County Fairs in 1867. And in
' fact, by paying a visit to the,Weiid office,
112 Grant street, those' wanting to buy can
see new machines of other makes; at less
than half price, which have been taken in
part pay for the Weed Machine. -
Still another - evidenee - crf the superiority
is, the Weed has oompelled other machines
to be taken back by the dozen, and in no
case has there been a Weed achine re
turned. Those in want of a good machine
will do well to call on the agent, Maj. R. H..
Long, 112 Grant street; and see_ for them
selves.
The' Weed does not take Ate or spells
when you want it to sew.
Felonious Assault and Battery.
William Barry, a teamster, employed by
Mr. Moorhead in hauling metal from the
yard on . Grant street, while erigaged in:
loading his wagon was attacked by. Peter
Gillen and John Kissack, who drive for Mr.
Arthurs, and beaten in a shameful manner.
They advised him to drive his team out of
the way, which he refused to do, when, as
he alleges, Gillen struck him with a club,
knocking part of his scalp off, and the
other attacked him with a knife. The in
jured man was taken to the office of a phy
sician on Penn street, and received proper
attentions, after which...be repaired to Al

aggravated assault and battery. A war

Highway Robbery:
• An insurance agent, residing at Hooks- .
town, Beaver county, was robbed . on Wed
nesday night of two thousand 'dollars. It
appears he had been in this city andieturn--
ed on the evening train to Rochester, and
started to llookstowni' some three miles
distant, on foot, arid. When within half a
mile of his destination was attacked by two
men, one of whom struck Mid with a club
'and knocked him down. after which they
rifled his pockets, taking therefrom 12,000,.
I and left him lying in the road insensible.
Re was discovered some time afterwards
and removed to his home, where he now,
lies in a critical condition.
