New YORK, Sept. IL.
A request having been made by the
London Sunday School Union that the
Sabbath Schools in the United States
should unite with the schools in foreign
countries in observing October 18th as
LAY of prayer for sabbath schools, Rev
DIR. Vincent, of the New York Sunday
School Union has Endorsed the appeal,
and asks the schools in this city and
elsewhere to observe that day.
The friends Of Mrs. Benton, arrested
as an important witness in the Stokes
case, allege that the evidence she would
give would be the following: She had
been visiting a friend in the Grand Cen
trail Hotel half an hour before the COM
mission of the murder, Happening to
look out of the parlor window, she saw
on the opposite side of the way, Edward
s. Stokes. She beckoned to him and
he crossed Broadway and entered the
hotel, then came up to the parlor and
conyersed with her over 10 minutes. She
left him in the parlor, descended the
ladies stairway, and was Just out of the
street door when Fisk met her, and
talked with her in front of the hotel for
few moments. Fisk then entered the
hotel and she started, when she heard
the report of a pistol and saw q boy run
out Of the hotel in an evident fright. She
went back and again entered the hotel
when looking up the stairway, she saw
two men carrying Fisk up stairs. As she
was going up she found on one of the
lower steps revolver and from its posi-
ton thought it must have belonged to
Fisk. She had concealed the revolver
and had gone up stairs TO her friend S
room. That friend had persuaded her
not to reveal her finding the pistol
Since the murder she had not said any
} thing to the authorities concerning
Fisk's revolver, fearing it might injure
the chances of Stokes acquittal.
