ROBINSON They Will Address a Nass Meeting In Robblns' Opera House To-night. New Republican Club. The local political field H now In a pretty lively state, and from now until election day vigorous work will he cart led on In all quarters. Tho cotnmltteothatls maklug arrangements for the reception of Hon. Charles N. Brumni and Hon. John 11. Robinson to-night held another meet ing last night aud the sub-committees re ported they had met with excellent finan cial encouragement. It is woll that the arrangements for the parade to-night were not based on an elaborate scale, as the disagreeable weather would have caused much waste of time and money, The, preparations are of such i. character that the visitors will be received by a becoming escort. The main feature will be the meeting In Robblns' opera house, which will no doubt attract a large gathering, as Mr. Robinson Is exceedingly popular with the people aud an address by Mr. Brumm has been met ardently wished for by the working people of this section. A new Republican organization Is In the field and promise to be very influen tial in future campaigns. It lias been In a course of quiet formation for several weekB and to morrow night It will come forth fully organized. One hundred and three names have already been placed upon the roll nnd tho members have been selected from the moit prominent, Influ ential and respectable men of the town This club will be entirely different to any1 which has existed in the town, and when the membership is made known it will he Men at A glaiiee that the material selected U of the kind which will have influence. It will be a permanent organization, In dependent in the pursuit of its way, but devoted to the Interests of the Republican party in national, state, county and local affairs. Promiscuous admissions to mem bership will not be allowed and any mem ber who may attempt to use the organi zation to further personal alms will have the riot act read to him. The officers of the club, according to the assurances given, will he men who have joined the organization for the Inter ests of Republican principles, and not as seekers of notoriety or a foundation for aspirations. Among the gentlemen who have been active in the formation of tho club nre Messrs. DauleiOgden. J.J. Price, Moses Owens and William T. Trezlse. A meeting will be held lu Eeddall's hall t morrow eveniug and His quite likely that the hall will become the permanent head quarters of tho club. There Is reason to believe that there Is not near as much harmony In the local Democratic ranks as some people suppose, Indeed, it Is stated upon excellent author ity that one of the best organized and most Influential organizations of young Democrats In the town Is just boiling over with anxiety to show that they do not propose to be caressed and petted at criti cal momenta and cast aside at other times when they should be recognized. It is said that in one of the recent campaigns fils organization worked like beavers for the Democratic ticket and It was through t .Is work that a victory was gained, bit when the club stepped forward at a time when It had a right to expect recognition it met with disappointment, or rather a brazen repudiation of promises. At the recent Democratic meeting held to organize a committee to make prepara t ous for the reception of .Governor Pattl son, Candidate Singerly and party some of the young men referred to were selected as members of the escort of honor. Sev eral of these young men have openly de clared that the use of their names was made without authority; that they did not attend the meeting, were not consulted in connection with It, and they do not propose to be pushed forward and pulled back whenever certain leaders see fit to manipulate the wires. There may be some fuu yet. Mrs. Brldgeman, R. C. M., teaches violin (specialty) cello and piano. Corner of Jardlu and Lloyd streets. 9-8-tf A New Commandery.

EbiTon IlEnALD: I have read with Interest the opinion of the Supreme Court on the Evangelical Association church controversy. I have also read tho pastoral address of the Bishop published In the Reading Eaglu of October 6th, and Philadelphia Press ot October 7th. It seems queer, after reading tho opinion or tho court carefully, that Bishop Bowman aud his followers should believe that the civil court had vindicated them. It Is true that the clvlt courts have entered judgment In their favor, but the moral victory is surely not with them. The Supreme Court says: "Tho action of Bishop Bowman and a few friends In organizing a rival conference was wholly unauthorized by the discipline ; and tho body so organized, not having a quorum of those entitled to sit as members of the East Pennsylvania Conference was an Irregular body, without authority or o cleslastlcal characterunder tho discipline. The annual conference may sit without a bishop, and ltsacts be valid In all respects. A Bishop cannot Bit with less than a quorum and make by his presence a legal conference out of that which would not have been such In his absence. If present he presides, but he lsnofrn necessary part of the body; nnd his presence therefore with those who without him would be without nuthorlty. can add nothing to them. If there had been no division In the conference tho presence of the bishop coulO not have given to a fow of Its members the character and power of a quorum. His conduct and that of his friends lu suspending and expelllug pre siding elder.-) aud others was a cle.tr usurpation of power aud the sentences so pronounced had no force or effect. The 'bishop and n handful of adherents were in another place assuming the powers of a quorum and fulminating their orders and judgments with the utmost self com placing aud in plain disregard of the discipline. The appointments mnde by this body gave no legal right to the ap polntees and imposed no legal duty on the congregations concerned." Here, theu, we have overy question touching tho regularity of the East Penn sylvania Conference decided in favor of Bishop Dubs' adhere uts and a most posi tive ruling of the Supreme Court as to the jijurputlon o Bishop Bowman and of the unlawfulness of the East Pennsyl vania Conference presided over by htm. How, then, does it come that the Supremo Court ultimately decides In favor of Bishop Bowman? In this way: Tho Supreme Court holds that the discipline confers nhsolute power on the General Conference, and that tho civil power, the law of the laud, oannot, even for tho pro tection of property, compel the General Conference to abide by the plain language of tho discipline. The General Conference is absolute. Whatever It decides mnst be accepted. Therefore, when the General Conference at Indianapolis decided con trary to tho judgment of the Supremo Court, that the East Pennsylvania Cou ference, presided over by Bishop Bowman, was the regular conference, this ended the controversy. The whole thing seems very odd. A denomination has a written con stitution lu which the rights of parties are defined la the ordinary language used among men. The civil court interprets this language, to mean one thing; but a majority of the preachers In tho church, who are clothed with general powers, tin der the title of the General Conference, say that this language means something else, and their decision Is to be final. It is not the first time that a conflict arose between decisions made by the civil t-lbunnls aud the ecclesiastical courts. In tact, the history of Christianity starts with a startling conflict of this kind. Pilate, the civ U magistrate, wnen Jesus was brought beforo him, Bald: "I have ex amined him before you, and have found no fault in thlsmau touching those things whereof you neense him." But the ecclt slastlcal court, (the chief priests and scribes) cried : "Crucify him I crucify him I" and then, as now, the civil court confirmed the judgment of the priests, The contrast between the two decisions Is most remarkable. The ecclesiastical court decides the Bowman conference to be tho legal one. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania savs it was Illegal. The whole controversy then Is re reduced to this: Bishop Bowuinu, instead of being vindicated, is condemned by the highest tribunal in the state of Pennsylvania. His vindication comes from his own ecclesiastical court, presided over by himself. It was composed of preachers, and constituted, numerically, a bare majority of the Evangelical Asso elation. The decision they rendered in his favor Is contrary to the language and the spirit of the discipline. So the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania decides, but because their power is absolute, the Supreme Court says it must be respected by the civil court. Here Is their language; "Whether tho General Conference decided all these questions In the wisest manner is not now for consideration. Its decision settled the law for the Evangelical Asso ciation and we must recognize nnd apply It In this case." In other words, the Supreme Court finds that Bishop Bowman violated the discipline "in organizing a rival con conference;" that his "conference was on I Irregular body, without authority or ec clesiastical character ;" that he was wrong In contending that an annual conference conld not sit without a bishop; that he (COnl(micJ on fourth page,) GLEANINGS OF THE DAY. Items Gathered by the Reporters on Their Rounds. FIRST WARD STREET SCENE Joe Petchulls Gets the Best of a Man, But Met a Tartar In a Woman. Held For Larceny. Joe Petchulls Is the name of a First ward Lithuanian who seems to have been trying to ruu things with n pretty high hand recently. He is now under bill to answer nt court to a charge of larceny and aggravated assault. It seems that Joe and Charles Dobshls met lu au East Centre street saloon and to make time pass as lightly as possible they indulged In n wrestling bout. Joe was the victor and after bowing acknow ledgements to the npplaudlng spectators who occupied Beats on the surrounding beer kegs, he called for thedrlnks, quaffed the victor's cup and withdrew amidst bravos from nil except the saloonkeeper, who with heavy heart sought tho slate and chalked up. The victorious Joe sought n saloou on East Lloyd street and after relating the details of tho wrestling match to the proprietor produced a silver watch upon which he asked a loan of to, which was granted. Joe stood nt the bar when Mrs. Victoria Tinkalawlcz entered tho place nnd called for a pint of beer. Petchulls nnd Tinkalawlcz required no introduction. They kuew each other well and when the former Invited the woman to have a drink she accepted. After the glasses were emptied the bar tender asked for his pay. Joe said tho woman was treating and the latter said the man was responsible. In the argu ment that followed Mrs. Tinkalawlcz dumped a bucket of beer over the mini's head and the two then clinched. They fought ferociously and the bartender was glad when they rolled out the door to the street. When tho couple were parted the ap pearance of the woman caused great ex citement, but what appeared to be gore streaming over her face, arms and cloth ing proved upon closer Inspection to be vinegar nnd pieces of red beets which Mrs. Tinkalawlcz bad carried In a bucket and which became badly mixed with her per son during the struggle. The woman was not seriously Injured and had evidently held her own. Petchulls was preparing to get away when Dobshis, his recent companion, rushed up and caused his arrest on a charge of larceny. Dibhis claimed that during tho wrestling nutch he lost his silver watch, and the one plodged to tho saloonkeeper was identified. Justice Toomey put Joe under $500 ball on the charge of larceny and JC00 ball to answer at court for his little Interlude with Mrs. Tinkalawlcz. Hebrews Celebrate.
