ECHOES OF THE WAR.
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.

Galbraitb faction—instead of 'to the
Lord hallelujah She then told how
after a Sunday school treasurer bad
been elected by the prayer meeting, and
not happening to belong to the Gal
braith faction, the Doctor ohjected in
open meeting, to which the pastor paid
no attention. 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

"BTdl hut he ought have left .tu

A Concert.
CLTNTONVILLE. 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

injurious EiTects of Baking Pow

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.
The continued use of alkalies in apy
form injures the health Look at the
alkali country west of us, where the
alkali is foiled in the water The
same dangers will arise from th" per

The Female Suffragists.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4
Susan B Anthony, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and a ?mall party of woman
sutlragists called at the White Flouse
this morning. They were admitted to
Air Arthur's private office.
"We have only called to pay our
respects, Mr. President,'' said Misa
Anthony.
Mr. Arthur came forward aDd shook
bands with all the ladies. He said he
was glad to see them. "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. A
great mauy women would vote better
than some men I know. Personally I
tbould like to see all the ladies vote
who were so disposed," Mr. Arthur
added tallautlv.
"1 am very glad to hear it, Mr. Pres
ident," said Miss Anthony "We are
all glad, aud if the ladies seeare tho
right to vote before next November
they may vote for you, that is if you
are a candidate, Mr President."
Mr Arthur bowed and changed tie
the subject. His visitors li ft shortly
afterward, well pleased wtih their call
upon the Executive.
Little Nellie Arthur came running
into the room during the call and the
PresiJent introduced her. Shu appear
ed to be afraid of Miss Anthony, but
allowed Miss Stanton to kiss her.
M iss Anthony did not appear pleased
at the slight of little Nellie.
TIIE WOMEN'S CONVENTIOM.
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.
