A Church Fight Which Began Early in 1863. | F-iom Piitsburgh Corn-Gazette.] TARENTUM, PA., March 4 —Rev. J FT. Timmous has been pastor of the U- P. Church, at this place for almost 25 years. To-day he is being tried by the Presbytery of Allegheny on charges of drunkenness, lying, quarreling and con duct unbecoming a minister and a Christian. A dozen or more of the members have sworn that he is guilty of one or more of the charges, and to those unacquainted with the matter or who do do not know the sterling worth and character of the maligned pastor, the prospects of his ever resuming his untarnished reputation before the world looks very dark. But let me tell the story. Had you dropped off at this handsome little vil lage of camp meetings and church scan dals this morning you must have no ticed an unusual pieseuce for a week <tay of country clad horses at the con venient hitcLing posts in the vicinity of the little yellow brick church in the centre of the towu HaviDg come here on a rumor that Rev. Timmons was being tried for everything but his life, I was not surprised at finding crowds of women and young girls going in the same The destination was the little church where tha trial was going on. As usual, at a Presbytery, the ministers wete found engaged in a lively wrangle. The dispute was whether the competency and the credi bility of a witness are the same, and whether or not it is better to establish the witness' standing in the matter be fore or after going on the stand. The members showed about the same amount of proneness to speech-making as an average councilman Rules were made and oveftuned by appeals with as little regard for the Moderator as if he were only a mayor in the exercise of his veto power. WHEN THE TROUBLE BEGAN. A good brother sitting near me ven tured this information : "The whole matter is the result of the war." When I looked up surprised, he said : "No, I dou't mean that we ha . r e Democrats in our church, but let me explain. Rev Mr Timmons is a man of very decided opinions and characteristics. He was here when the slavery question began to be agitated, and his advauced views made him the maik of the shafts of the opposition. Time healed that feeling but not the gulf that had been creaied. The question of temperance and the proper methods of reform served for a dispute as dogged as that now waging in the Old Home in Pittsburgh. That too died out with the memory of Mur phy, and the subject of dancing, psalm siuging, and of attending camp meet ings projected themselves into the breach and have resulted, first, in Mr Timmon's resignation and in the pres ent trial." "So that's how it began," said I, "how will it end ?" i '"ln Rev. Timmon's complete vindi , cation. For years Mr T. took no sides in the matter, but when it resolved ii- I self into a contest of power in the cou | trol of the church building between the trustees and the eliiers, he f.ivored the trustees. They came off victorious and from then on the dividing line fell between the 'Gaibraith' and the 'Tim rnons' factions. The latter fight oceur j red in April, The factions en ' larged arid the trustees and two elders joined with the pastor; the other elders fought under the leadership of Dr. Ual braith ami Elder Kvans. In the iall of 1533 Mr Timmons re signed. The factions were so nearly eijual in strength that, with tho aid o F a few ot his old friends whom h*» pre vailed upon to vote with the opposition his resignation was accepted. THE SOAttt.fcf LETTF.n. "At that same meeting some one without Mr. Timmon's consent offered a resolution also requesting the elder ship to resign. It was requested that the same be carried up to the I'resby terV. Hev. Mr. Timmon's reputation, tisl'itiji standing as the church itself, soon procured for him an informal call to the chitreh at I'hartkrs Cross Hoads. While the tnH'ter \Vits slill unsettlnl, suhie otie, ehe ol the fac tion opposing him at Tarentum.

Grave crime! But worse yet; after the meeting he lust his temper aud sp >ke hotly to the Doc tor. Rev. A. FI Calvert, of -Etna, was the prosecutor ou behalf of the Presby terv, and in every case sought opinions instead of facts. He asked the little Karus girl soberly if she thought such conduct becoming a miuister. She said she didn't, and again Kev. J. M Fulton, the leiral mind of the I'reoby tery, objected. THE CHARGES GROW SERIOUS. Elder Dickey tbeu came on. He has been blind for eight years, tut his ol factories remained intact lor gastric flaAor, and he swore to having often smelled whisky on delendant. He could not give dates, and lorgot most otner things, but remembered distinct ly when Mr. Timmous said, in the pul pit lecture, "Some people can atteud lectures aud political meetings, but their old blind ejes cannot light them to prajer meeting." '"This referred to me," he continued, "and I deem it un becoming language for a minister." Thus it would seem that plain-spoken Mr. Timmons had oflVuded where be least expected. The memory of the time when the minister had dared to refer to bis shortcoming, fired up "the oldest elder of them all" and he con tinued: "Once iu Bible class be had a dispute about tithes with a maiden lady and becoming hot, he turned on his heel with the remark, "well you aud the devil for it." That closed the service." Here tbe voice of some min ister was heard remarking. "A very fitting benediction." He bad heard of the vute asking the eldership to resign but had paid no atteution to the mat ter " E-quire Evans was called upon the stand. He swore positively that he had smelled the fumes of liquor on th? pastor's breath, aud that it was not on his clothes. He as well as others tes tified that Mr. Timmous went out very frequently duriufr the sinking of the second psalm, aud believed that he preached more boisterously than usual after so doing, using such words as "slimy copperheads" and "bounty jumpers." This was eighteen or twen ty years ago, THE BOYD GIKL9. His principal hold, however, was on the subject of falsehood. He and Rev. Timmons had been appointed a com mittee to visit the Misses Emma and Maggie Bojd, known in church par lance as "the Boyd tirls." The 'Squire refused to go with his pastor, who went alone. The pastor reported that the young ladies, who had beeu guilty ot the crime of daucing, would do so no more, and that all was satisfactory. Then the 'Squire went to see the Mis ses Boyd and returned a different re port, with different results, as the girls quit the church. They differed and iu (his the falsehood of the pastor consist ed. The youutf ladies sat in the aud ience, indorsiu# iu whi pers Mr. Tim mous' story as the true oue, but not being church members were not put upou the stand. John Kennedy, (a Methodist) w.<B put upou the staud to prove unbecom ing conduct on the part of a IT. I*. minister. He was asked if he heard the pastor*B farewell sermon. "Yes, sir,'' he answered. "Did he use proper language ?" "Not for the occasion." "Are you a Methodist?" "I am." "What was wrong about it ?" "His manner." "Then his I inguage was all right ?" "It is very common in the Bible " "Why do you object?" "He preached about .Tudas." 'What of that ? M "He said there are Judases no# in the church." "Did he name them ?" "Or tell whose church they belonged lo ?" "BTdl hut he ought have left .tu das otlt." "Then Vrtli think his condtiet on that WAb Uiibecomleg rt tUihlster Of the niW(ie| ?"

PA, Mar. 3, 1884 EDS BUTI.EK CITIZEN:— The singing ciass, organized by Prof Bovard, of Brancbton, two weeks ago, gave a concert in the Presbyter ian church on last Friday eve. Quite a large audience were present, not withstanding the iuclemency of the weather. The concert was one of the finest ever held in this place. The se lections chosen were from the best composers, and many were the compli ments passed upon them. All the choruses were exceedingly good. The quartettes, solos, duets and character pieces, all were highly appreciated by the audience. The character song en titled "A Poor Tramp," was verv well acted, or sung, by Will Hoi lister; the temperance song entitled "Father won't you try?" by Carrie Xutt, was good, also the opera p'ece entitled 'A man ager in trouble," was very well render ed bv Prof Bovard, James Melyee and Missas Carrie Black and Luokv Mor rison. The mate quartette by James McKee. J 11. Kerr, K. M. Hoffman. J P. MeKie, D. V Eakiu and M. L. Phipps was also very good, besides many oihers too numerous to mention. The class numbered about 40 scholars, aud was conducted in such a manner as the Prof, himself only knows how to couduct, The Prof, is a very hue teaoher, being well versed in music and himself a fine singer. Under his lead ership a class is always sure to suc ceed. There's no such word as fail to him. Aud uow I can not close this letter without giving a word to the or ganist, Misa Lucky Morrison, who so much helped along by her help and by her musical qualities which she so ar duously displayed. She is too well known by ail for uid to atteatpt to praise her. JONAH Milo on Hidden Law. No. 3. Xo man, however scienced, has been able to explain on scientific principles the chauge iu the deusity of water— that of growing lighter after reachi g 4U —as explained iu my last, while all other liquids continue to grow heavier, or to contract in volumu dowi to their points of congelation. The next feature of "Hidden Law'' we f>ball notice in the "tJuiformtilly tu xing of gases " First let m notice that tLe union of the gases that form the atmosphere in not a chemical one, in which tithef of the gases lose their identity, but their union is purely me chanical, as in mixing saud ami lime to form multar. If i mix water and clay or sand together, the union is a me chanical one, and if allowed to remain a short time without agitation they will separate, t'<e sand lulling to the bottom leaving the water clear, because there is no chemical attraction existing between theui, and the sand bt lag the heavier settles to the bottom. This is the nature ot tbc union oT o.xv gen and hydrogen gases to form the atmosphere. It is a mechanical union in w liieh neither of tlttt gases combined lose their UletitiU; but tlicV differ from the i sample above glveu ol the mechilnl itl titlfoii ofsaud itu l water, in itstnuch as tin re is no spotitauc nts pi p oatli.'ti ol tin gasis i\ In tt In a oillet state If I tbi'iMV It stone intij the IV ,U'i- it Sii M li> btuje it M heivler thart AilU'C.

Knowing that you are friendly to education and always give space in your columns to communications per taining to it, I submit the following: Perhaps many of your readers have he»rd of ibe Ulabam School, Conno quenessing township, and do not know where it is situated. I will endeavor to locate it. It is near the Butler and Harmony road, about one mile norm of Petersville, and about oue-quarter ot a mile west of the White Oak Spring 9 U P. Church, on the Shannon road. 11 is a frame building of good size, fur nished witb patent desks, but the appa ratus is not what it might be This school has for several years taken the lead iu the township. Our fifth reader class numbers twenty-five. This school has sent quite a number of energetic tearheis into the world of late. The citizens generally take a great interest iu education, andjselect competent men to till the office of director. The pro gress of the school has "been greatly hiudered during the present term by sickness, and three different singings. Notwithstanding these hindrances, the school has prugressed. The conduct during the term this far has been good. The following pupils have not been absent a dav during the present inontb: Uessie Graham, D »nnie Graham, Melia Flintier, Ella Brandon, John Braudon, Eddie Grabaiu, Homer Lit zeube. tr, Manuel Zeiifler, Wesley Zeig ler f.iid Elmer Snodgrass. County Superintendent Murtland, visited us some time since. Prof J. C. Tinstmau paid our school a visit, and addressed tbe school for a short time in bis pleasing way.

A writer in the Journal of the Amer ican Mcdi'tal Association avers that there is no doubt that baking powders, even the best of them, are damaging to the health He save: To make the matter clear, it may be j stated that the average baking powder j id cotup ised of bicirli »n ice of s id*, ! cream tartar, and starch, with a possi ble admixture of other things. The continued use of even this purest bak ing powder will effect the system seri ously, commencifiir with only a slight derangement of the digestive organs, Which if radii lly become chrouic, chang ing the secretion of the stomach neces sary for digestion (muriatic acid) ; in fact, altering the wh do chemistry of of the human stomach.

"While 1 am not prepared to endorse all of your sentiments on the subject of female suffrage," said the President, "I think you are entitled to a tair hearing.

At the opening session of the Woman Suffrage Convention this af ternoon there was a large atteudauce Miss Antbony delivered the opening address. She pointed with pride to the fact that the cause of woman suf frage was rapidly gaining ground among the thinking nations ot the civ ilized world. The most progress had - been made in America, although she had received very encouragiug reports from England. A few years at most, and possibly a few mouths, would wit ness woman's triumph. Her remarks were applauded. Reports from differ ent members of the association were then read. Repcrts showed that new recruits were joining the cause of the ladles. The prospects were never brighter, and the ladies became very enthusiastic. A letter from George William Curtis was read, in which he expressed his sorrow at not being able to attend the meeting. He said bis heart was with them, bat no attempt was made to discover who held it. Miss Antbony said that was a matter of personal privilege. The chief obsta cle, Mr. Curtis said, in the path to woman suffrage was the indiffetence of so man; ladies on the subject. He was not sure but what the majority of the ladies to-day would not turn their hands over to obtain the right ot suf frage. As long as such a state of thiugs remained women would be de prived of the ballot. It would never be froced upon her. I At tie evening session the speakers ; were Miss Phoebe Cozzias, of St. I Louis, and Lillie Devericg Blake, of New York, and others. The Couvea- I tion will reaiaiD in session three days. ! Before the end of the week the Presi dent will give a reception to the ladies. Mrs McElroy will assist him in re ceiving them. An Adroit Trick. One of the most adroit known in criminal history was effected by Lucky Joe Wilson, a famous chief of a gang of desperadoes infesting North Carolina. Wilson was, after many fights, caught and after a trial sentenced to ten years in the Peniten tiary. On Tuesday of last week his coiiUfel obtained an appeal to the Su preme Court. Early Saturday morn ing the warden of the jail entered hia cell and found Lucky Joe lyiDg on bis mattress, which was suffused with blood, as was t h e prisoner's shirt and mouth. His eyes were wide open and staring, his jaws fallen and his limbs cold. Help was summoned and the body was carried from the cell into an outhouse and laid out out for burial nud placed in a plain cnfß;]. The mother and sister of the defeated stood by the coffin and wailed his untimely end At dusk when every one bad left the appartment save his sister, sho .vtis liurtified to see the cojit-p rise from the coffin, put bis hands omiuousff on his lips and bolt from the ro"in into the night She screamed and fainted.
