THE CASE OF DIR. CLARK.

The Clerical Breach of Promise Cnse-A Ver-
diet of Guilty Rendered-A Public Rebui5e
Administered.
The testimony having all been presented in
the Clark-Hawkes breach of promise case at
Pittsburg, the presbytery yesterday held a pri-
Vate consultation upon the verdict to be rem
dered.
The following preamble and resolution were
first submitted, but were rejected
Whereas, 1t appears from explicit and satisfactory
testimony that between Rev. ]. B. Clark, ID. d. and
Miss Lille Hawkes. there was, after long continued
and earnest correspondence, a mutual promise of
redeem his promise though no fault on her part is
alleged as the ground for his refusal and whereas,
the consideration that the injured LADY has been en-
from her youth a member OF his pastoral charge; !;
aRd S the on eos Ss 70 discharge f g solemn
religion, and has given occasion to the enemies OF
the Lord to baspheme; therefore
Resolved, That the Rev. ]. b. Clark be suspended
from the exercise of the sacred office, and from the
communion Of the Church.
THE VERDICT
After an earnest discussion the following
finding was agreed upon:-
Resolved That both from the full admission of the
defendant and all the evidence, the charge has
Resolved, That in the judgment of this presby-
ery, the reasons assigned by Dr. Clark not salts
Rescioed, That Rev. ]. B. Clark D. D., be brought
before the bar of this court, and soemnly rebuted
for his sin in this matter.
THE DOORS OPEN.
After the verdict had been agreed upon the
doors were opened, and those who had remained
around the church entered the lecture-room
The scene was an exceedingly painful one. DIR.
Clark had been summoned from his study, and
had taken a seat in front of the Moderator and
had buried his face in his handkerchief. He
gave evidence of intense feeling, and, while
there was entire absence of bravado, the
observer could not fail to be impressed with the
idea that he considered the finding Just and 4he
punishment merited.
THE REBUKE.
The Moderator, Rev. Mr.. Wallace, then an
nounced the finding of the court, and in the
most solemn and impressive manner proceeded
to administer the rebuke. He stated that it be-
came his painful duty to carry out the judgment
of the court, and in doing so he did not deem it
necessary to refer TO the facts and circumstances
developed on the trial, nor needhe say that there
was no spirit of resentment or unkindness to-
wards his erring brother by any member of
the court. He then rebuked DR.. Clark for
the sin which he had committed--a sin which
had sgiven occasion to the enemies of the Lord
to blaspheme" a sin which had brought scan
dial upon the Church and reproach upon the
cause of religion. This offense was the more
aggravated in that DIR. Clark was not only
professor of religion, but minister of the Lord
Jesus Christ. He was then earnestly admo-
nished to guard well his conduct in the future,
that he might not again bring reproach upon
the cause of Christ.

The reports of the presbyteries were received.

The Lehigh Coal and NAVIGATION Compnuy
and the Strikers.

The following letter gives an explanation OF the
position OF the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
with regard to the miners in its employ who are now
striking for higher wages, and as it contains much
valuable information, we commend it to the perusa
of our readers:-
OFFICE OF THE LEHIGH COAL AND NAVIGATION
COMPANY, PIILADELPHIA, May 49, 1sIO-To the
glad to avail ourselves OF the opportunity offered by
the publication Of Mr.. Williams letter In your last
issue, Of giving statement Of the companys posi-
ton in the present contest with its miners.
We desire 1t TO be understood that we have no
contest whatever with any Of our men but The
agreed upon, and that comparatively small body
of men is keeping all OF our works idle in order that
they may force the company to pay an advance on
the very high rate paid last year. We notified the
men early in February last that we could not afford
to continue the prices we were paying and must be
placed on an equality with the Beaver Meadow
region.
and stated that the Beaver Meadow rates, while re-
ducing labor, would give them an advance OF nine
() per cent for cutting coal, and If we would con
cede that advance they would resume work, We
did not so understand the Beaver Meadow terms,
and our Mining Engineer offered to go to that region
with committee OF the miners and investigate the
subject with them. This they declined.
The coal veins in the different Lehigh regions
vary in size and character and the mode OF working
ana settling with the men is not uniform The Offer
to give US "the same number OF feet for the same
money" as in the Beaver Meadow region, would be
fair if it included all of the expenses of mining and
preparing the COAL but it is not fair for cutting coal
only, because we pay for work not paid for there
which the compensation is the size and easy
working of our vein. This has always been
allowed for, and there was wel-estab-
lished difference in the rate paid for cut
ting coal between the two regions for many
years previous to the organization of the w. B. A.
we lost relative position during last year and
must now regain it. We seek to recure terms that
will enable to mine our coal as cheaply as other
Lehgh operators and the prices offer will give to
our miners as high wages as are earned any where
else in the coal regions. The accompanying tables
will show the earnings Of our men from July to De-
mi inclusive. last and think nf
the miners by the car were higher than the earnings
of miners elsewhere,

THE LA CROSSE FIRE.

Three Freight Warehouses, a Train of Six
Cars, steamboat. and Other Property
Burned-Loss of Life.
From the La Crosse Leader, extra, of the 10th
instant we gather the following details of the
disastrous fire in that section, report ed by tele
graph
ever visited the State occurred at the La Crosse
depot this morning, by which the entire depot
and freight warehouses, the elevator and con-
tents the steamer War Eagle, and nine cars,
express, freight and other property was de-
stroyed and several lives lost. The steamer
War Eagle, on which the fire started, blazed up
like torch in a moment, rendering escape for
many dificult-for all impossible. The exten-
siye depot and adjoining buildings were imme-
diately wrapped in flames.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The fire broke out on the N. w. U. packet
companys steamer War Eagle, which plies
between Dubuque and st. Paul.
The men were loading some barrels of coal
Oil slowing it on the larboard side, about mid
ship, One barrel being found leaking and
having been reported to Captain Gushing, he
directed the cooper to repair It,. The barrel
stood on end, the cooper placing his lantern on
of them burst, breaking the lantern, and dis
placing the head of the barrel, and the whole
mass of infammable material was in o blaze in
mt ment.
SCENES ON THE BOAT.
The barrel was Immediately rolled Oft of the
larboard side of the boat, but barge, which lay
alongside, prevented it from falling into the
water, and the fiery demon was loose. There
was no time to save anything but HE. The
flames and the binding smoke enveioped the
boat in a moment. Those of the passengers
who were still dressed and near the Office
escaped by the front gangway; the others in the
rear of the cabin were awakened by the ofhcers,
and under the direction of Captain Cushing
escaped by the rear scuttle, and we're taken
ashore by boats, which picked up many who
jumped overheard, one of the pilots, Jim Martin,
iumpipg from the hurricane deck. The rapidity
of the ire may be inferred from the fact that
the mail agent Sam. Bugh, who was in the
office had barely time to secure his money
packages and escape by the gangway Frank Hub
bard. who was with him. and delayed moment,
being obliged to jump overheard. There were
az kegs of powder in the magazine, under the
forecastle but the boat burned amidship and
sunk, SO that the powder was not ignited.
LOSS OF LIFE.
The city is full of exaggerated rumors of the
los of life, but careful inquiry makes II certain
thai but six could have been lost-probably bs
four.
The chambermaids report that man and wo
man who were still on board when they lett
probably perished. The chambermaids them
selves barely escaped in their night cioInlng
