TIIIRD DAY—MORN SESSION•
Presbytery convened at ten o'clock
A. at ~and was opened with prayer by
the Moderator,
The minutes of the preceding
_session
were read and approved.
'Dr. Jacobus, stated that he desired to
correct his testimony taken at a previous
session and approved by him, wherein
it referred to subscribing fur Mr. Linn's
book. • He stated on his cross exainhaa
tion that to the best or his knowledge
he had not subscribed for the boom and
never knew until to-day that he was
considered as a subicriber. although a
copy of the book •had been left at hie
house. Since that time, Mr, Linn has
shown me the original subscription list,
on which my name appears and I now!
desire to state that I did subscribe fur
the book. •
It was suggested by a member of the
court that the delendant was absent
anti would be better to wait until he
was present. • j
Dr. Jimobusatated that. Ur. bicKalir,
lefendandi counsel was present Mid
could attend t 43 the matter, and the cor
rection couldibe:made immediately.
Mr. ildeltaig replied• that he had' riot
had time to consult fully with the de
fendant and did not know what conree
he intended to pursue In the matter and
eausequently could not answer for him.
The: Moderator decided to defer the
matter for the present.' .

with a lock and key. in which to keep
papers of the Presbytery, and to draw
upuu the Treasury for the cost of the
same. Adopted.
IL MEMBER A.OGItIEVED.
Mr. McElwain desired to call the at
tention of the Presbytery to a matter
which interested him and the court also.
lie was reported by name in one of the
daily papers, as taking a course which if
true, would render him unfit to sit as a
member of this court, in -the. adjudica
tion of this case.
. lie called for a copy of the paper con
taining the article referred to, when the
Evening Mail was produced and an ex
tract read from au editorial, reflecting
on the course pursued Drs. McKin
ney and McElwain.
br. Idaratiall stated in explanation the
reporter, as- not responsible for the
article, but it came from the Editors.
Dr, biclilnney thought t hal .a minute
should be entered upon , the record de
(daring the.charges to bb . false and elan
derous.
Dr.'bfarsball moved that such entry
'be made, and a vote being taken, the
motion prevailed
_ Rev. Mr. Braddock stated that this
motion might lead to a misunderstand
ing as it might be so construed as to leave
the opinion that that was the only false
and slanderous publications that have
appeared in the public print, which was
certinly erronons, as he had read editor
ials in some of the city papers equally
false and slanderous. -
Dr. Wilson stated in ;explanation.
that he had known the reporter of the
Evening Mail fora number of yeara
and he would take the I reaponsibilty of
saying that he was not the author of the
article. , -
A vote was then taken and the motion
decided in the affirmative without a "dis
senting-vote." The vote in the affirma
tive was, however, not a very , full one,
as there were but two or three feeble
"ayes" heard, all proceeding from Dr.
biclisvaine's corner of the house.
Tne Preabytery wafted for' some time
on the committee appointed to take the
testimony, which, however, did not ap
pear.
The hour of half past twelve having
arrived, Presbytery udjourned until two
o'clock.

The, testimony was then read and an
proved by the witness.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the report of the Commission to take
testimony, Rev. Dr. Jacobus came for
ward and renewed his application to
have his testimony corrected.
After renewing his. statement as pub
lished in our report of the morning pro
ceedings, he further stated that he - had
been informed, after giving his testimo•
ny, that Mr.. Linn had his name on the
list of subscribers to the book, and he
now desired to have the amendment
made.
Mr. Linn said he had no objections to
having this verbal correction made. but
he must positively decline to permit the
record to be changed. The witness had
been asked the question specifically and
answered it positively: The testimony
had been read to the witness and approV
ed by him. His reasons for objecting
were that heveribly billeved that if Dr.
Jacobus had not ascertained that he. Mr.
Linn had In his possession the ervidence
of thsit splascriptimutithvecevection would
not have been made.
[The audience here appiqnded beartilY
by clapping their hands and stamping. j
The Moderator called the house to or,
der and stated, in an excited roamer,
that if such conduct was repeated' the
home would be cleared of (*udders' im
mediately.
Rev. Mr. Braddock moved that the
house be instantly cleared of all out
siders, except the , reporters.
Some• diaoussion - ensued oh- this mo•
tion, after which it was ,withdraws by
permissionl of the Cour,. -
In order to avoid the objection raised
by Mr. Linn, the prosecution re-called
Dr. Jacobus and examined him as to the
matter.
Mr. Marsball stated that he had desired
to thaw the audience that Dr. Jacobi:l*
had given the explanation to his testitno•
ny at the time he was first examined,but
the clerk had not taken it down.
Mr. 8. ii`ithlee, sworn—l was sometime

Q. Do you know whether Mr. Linn re-!
eeived lewd publications through the Al
legheny Pestoince? A. I received , one
day during my official term a paekuge
address to the number of Mr. Linn's box,
but not addressed to him by name; the
matter contained in the package• some
what surprised me, being addressed to
a Theological student. I delivered the
package whim hi person and remarked
that it was not addressed to•hinti by
name, but was addressed to the number
of the box, and I. thought Were might' be
some mistake. He replied that' tt was
"all right" and received the package.
Cross Beremfited.—Q. When was this?
A. I'could not name -the 'year; tlm mat

Mr. McKinney said that there were
several wi wises' they wished to ox--
amine, to p ove facts which they thought
Gould be yen,,but - unfortunately_ the
Witnentes knee had not been-placed
p in
on the oop of the charges served upon
Mr. Linn, nd consequently could not be
ex wined as the defense were entitled
to ten days' notice. Owinito a mistaken
idea of the Chairman of the Committee;
who was of opinion that• xnemilers of
the Oitirt tould -be celled: upon to testify
instanter and the defense could not ob.
ject. The matter, however,' was in the
hands of theNoerl, SO say Theitthcfr th 9
ease ishi%iald• alOse hero% or wlibilter it
would order an adjournment for ten
days, in order to allow the prosecution
to get that _testimony in.
Dr. McKaig said it was not the prov
ince of the court to adjourn in order to
give the prosecution the time they ask
for. Presbytery had resolved I.tself
into a court to try the case of Mr. Linn
and must proceed with the case until it
-was concluded.
Dr. McKinney made a windy speech
in order to convince the court that it bad
a right to adjourn for a sufficient length
of time to allow: the prosecution to
make out a case against Mr. Linn. He
referrtal to,the ruiew of the Presbytery
relative-to-procuring witnesses who had
been legally cited but failed to attend
in order to convince the court:that it
would apply to witnesses who had not
. 11tietrc`: •
Mr. Ltnn objected to poilrinneMent in
a very strong and convincing argument
holding that it would be an act of inj us.
tic. to the defondent as well as a viola
don of the rules of the Presbytery.
Alter some further argument .Mr. Linn
closed, and was again applauded by the
audience. ,
The Moderator called the house to or
der, and in explanation of some imputa
tions by Mr. Linn as to hie counsel' har
ing been cut off by the rulings._ of the
Moderator, which fact had been publish.
ed is the city papers, he desired to say
that he bad ruled as he thought right,
and in consequence of that ruling had
"winked" at-the fact that the gentle
men selected as .counsel, but who had
been ruled out by the Court, Was in
constant consultation with the defendant.
Mr. Linn protested against this charge.
Mr..Batenger, he said, had not been In
cbnstiltatton with him.
Mr, Bittenger aLso objected to the Mod.
erator's language. He alleged that be
had not been in consultation with Mr.
Linn.
Mr. Braddock rose to a point of order,
which was that Dr. Bittenger, not being
a member of the Court, had no right du
ring a Wolof this character, to take part
; in the proceedings
The. Moderator declined tq entertain
the point of order and allowed Dr. Bit
tenger to proceed. - - -
After some further eapianation by Dr.
Blttenger, !Which' was assailed try ill
natured remark. from Drs. • Ikaddeick
and Ferris the matterw as dropped.
.Dr. Markiall obtained" MO door and
Made a strong and forcible argument
against the continuance of the ewe or - an
adjournment. He said that the matter
might be continued from time to time
for the same'reasoni and never brought
to a dose. He , protested against anycon.
tinnance.
Mx, Mega*, °onset for• Mr. Linn, ob
jected in very 'forcible - terms against a
continuance.
Dr McKinney said• this matter could
be settled If the defense would waive the
ten days notice required by the rulea,and
allow the prosecution to call witnesses
that were now in the-honse. lilt was de
sired to throw ligliton the ease, it could•
be reached in this way.
Dr. Moliaig took exception to• Dr. Mc.
Kinney's manner of stating his case. He
did not like to have him impugn the
motives-of the defense- in adhering to
the rules and regulations of Presbytery,
whereupon Dr. McKinney replied that
he had made no such assertion.
This led to an exciting debate be
tween the reverend' gentlemen, which
had to be checked by the Moderator.
The dincuasion was then continued on
the question of adjournment.
Dr. McKinney—Mr. Modeiator, we
have witnesses. to prove some of the
charges-on this 'preserrtinent far worse
than they are alleged.
Idr../..tnn—l object to. this imputation.
I must call )r. McKinney to order. I
have been covered all over with odium
and reproach by his ansertlsoit made

t'o proceed, but-was feaaliy ootapelled to

Ali a "sleenird," Edward; McGann is ; a
success. Others may simply sleep as a
refreshing episoder.iii the labor_ of life,
but Edward has incteased Its enjoyment
by reducing it to a system. With him
it is both a science and an art. Edward is
modest in his pretensions,' bnt occasion
ally his peculiar genius in this riespec'
becomes manifest, as it did yenerday.
He was entrusted by the - barman of a
saloon up town to procure the'“cbange"
fora twenty dollar bill, which a cus
tomer had proffered in payment' of cer
tain potations. Edward, happy and
animated as a policeman on duty, depar
ted on his mission, while the customer
and the confidential bar,,ixian awaited
his return. Ordinarily, the matter
should have occupied live minutes, but
the minutes oxtended into hours and
yet Edward returned not. Strange mis-
givings at length seized upon the vender
of juleps and smashes, and to ease his
anxiety he called at Alderman Taylor's
olive and secured the services of officer
Bell to ascertain what accident bad be
fallen Edward. The officer, after a dili
gent search, discovered Edward' in an
other Baleen not far away, enjoying him
self immensely and endeavoring to sur
round • a foaming glass of lager.
Taken into the Alderman's presence
he explained his absence. He bad been
asleep, caused by the soporific influence.
of the money. Upon returning from his
journey itikthe land of 'dreams, all recol
lection of the filthy lucre. had departed;
and now he was only glad. that the ,clr
oumstances had been recalled so pleas-,
aptly, as it afforded, hinxiin opportunity
of returned g the same minus twenty
cents, the disappearande of which he
could nut account for. Only 'this and
nothing more. This beautiful and artis
tic explanation of the case failed to pen.
etrate the Aidermanici.obtuseness, and
EdWara was consequently held to bait
for his appearance to-morrow, when the
charged of larceny preferre'd against him
by the bar-man will be considered.
Hone Trade.
A few days ago Me. WM. Rodgev:
being , in need of a horse, wended his
his way_to the horse market, presided :
over by Mr. John Bowors. Among the
number of line animals which attracted
his nttention, he selected one ,valued
at thirty-seven dollars, and according to.
his statement upon being assured that
the beast was sound in wind, limb, and
every other respect, paid over the money
and departed. He had not proCeeded
three squares hoivever; before his
purchase began to' exhibit unusual
symptons for a sound horse, and
indications of a wind•broken con
dition. This was made clearly apparent
when the horse• suddenly stopped, tin;
able to proceed farther, and assumed ad
appeatauee and acted not unlike a pair of
bellows. Considering himself to be the
victim of misrepresentations, Rodgers
took the horse 'back and demanded hks
money, which he alleges was refused
him. He then left the animal and made
information before Alderman Donaldson
against Bowers for false pretenses,
making the' allegations as set forth, up
on which a warrant was issued.
Booty.
About a week ago James Laughlin
found himself in need of , a pair of boots.
Being short of fends it required some
40am:wing skill to secure the needed
articles-but he managed the case, it is
alleged in a very si m pie rummer. Simple
measures are sometimes more effective
than* exhaustive efforts, knowing a friend
who was fortunately possessed of good
credit at a certain shoe store, be seized
upon the brilliant Idea of using that
friend's name, which he did, and as a re
sult, without money and 'without price,
rejoiced in the possession of a pair of the
best French calf. It subsequently be
came apparent to the proprietor of the
store, Mr. A. Johns, that the, proceed
ing Ives somewhat irregular, as he states
when the bill was presented to the friend
he utterly denied knowledge& the/rens
action, and refused to pay the money.
Under the circumstances Mr. Jamul bad

The "Friendship' , %Steather.
Yesterday morning the new steamer
for the Friendship Fire Compasiy, of Al
legheny, arrived In the city and ,wee
taken in charge by the. Company. I ' The '
machine was built at the Amoikeag
Works, N'ew'llampshire, and cost g 4,500,
It is what is called a second classeagine,
being mucteliahter than either the Gen.
Grant or Hope steamers, but calculated
to do about the same work under et di
nary circumstances. The new steamer
is a model of beauty acid elegance, and
the Friendship boys may well be prdud
at th , s practical result of their eEkirtai to
secure a good apparatus. It is built din
the usual style, brass mounted, Etc.,
and is In every respect first class as re
gards the workmanship or appearance.
A preliminary trial was made yester
day and the result' gave the beat satis
faction. The machinery worked with
out a jar, and performed its work ad
mirably. Asocond trial will take place
iO-day, when the throwing mpaclties of
the machine will be put to•the test. If
t works ted, well in this respect dein
others, it can certainly be classed among
the best machines in the airinity.
