solutions were adopted by the stockhold-
ers expressing great regret at this step
and highly complimentary to his ability,

last resolution reads
Eesolred, That in view of the attacks
upon the interests of the Erie company
and the integrity Of its management,
which malevolent selfshness and ingrati-
tude have lately made, we congratulate

HONOR TO THE LATE REV DR.. TAYLOR

Last evenng-albeit SO incement- there was
very interesting memorial meeting in the Calvary
Baptist church, No. SO West Twenty third street.
to commemorate the life and character of Z. E.
l.. Taylor, DID,, late Secretary of the Baptist
Home Missionary Society. There were present
many gentlemen, members OF the Baptist Minis.
ters' Conference. and addresses were delivered
by prominent clergymen, among whom were
the following reverend doctors Thomas
Armtage, pastor OF Fifth avenue Bap-
t,st church; ID. Henry Miller, Justin d.
Fulton and j. l.. Hodge. The opening address was
made by the Rev. Dr. Armitage who preiaced the
resolutions offered by an eloquent eulogy of the
tower OF strength, and his friendships never
sumed the inaccessible and severe; III his private
and domestic life he was simply full OF love. There
could be nothing more scholarly and beautiful
than the address OF DR.. Armitage, who seemed In
his analysis OF the life, character ana services OF
the distinguished deceased divine TO enter enthu-
slastlcay into all his qualities and impulses, and
to adduce from each beauty and force imp0ssi-
BILE to 0verestimate.
The organist played q very solemn dirge on the
mystery and sacredness OF the memorial to one SO
revered and beloved. The singing by the choir
was peculiarly effective, and as the minor notes
sweed IN mournful cadences through the church
the effect was impressive in the extreme.
DR.. Fulton delivered a very powerful prayer, In
which he spoke of his lamented brother as STEP
ping from star to star and glory to glory to attain
that mystery which death alone reveals.
The Rev. K. S. Macarthur was active In the
memorial services, ana was eloquenty impressive
In his testimony to the worth OF DR.. Taylor and
his good work. The occasion was Of great inter-
the deceased clergyman as Q beautiful and fitting
tribute to his ife-Work and Christian services.

A DUMMY SPEAKS IN COURT.

Among the cases tried at the Court OF Special
Sessions yesterday was that Of Patrick sullivan,
who was entered on the calendar as John Doe.
HIS case has been postponed for two weeks as he
would not speak. Yesterday, however an expert
in the dumb signs was brought into Court, and en-
deavored by alphabetic signs to get some inlorma-
tion out Of John Doe; but John Doe didn't
seem to know anything about them. He
saw the motion and looked at the pan
tomime with steady eye, never once
giving indication that he understood anything
about what was going on. The Court was q little
bit puzzled and did not know what to do with the
prisoner when one or the prisoners in the box
spoke in q whisper to one or the Court officers,
VINO informed the Court that some one in the box
knew something about the dummy. The prisoner
bar, where he told the Court that the dummy had
spoken to him and had told MIN his name was Pat
Sullivan and that ne did not intend to speak, hop
ing by that means to be discharged. Judge otter
bOurg then said in stentorian tones, ''COme, Mr..
Sullivan. the Court cannot be duped In this
manner; tell us what your name 10 and have
done wit o'r l. 1nScn,t." Pats face never
chang - r>e,vn. lie looked at the Judge
with D,,..., :.,r. ma stia in feeble tone, "Mc
name Il ,,ica ,u.avan. Dime from Donegal,
and have an impulmin, IN me spacfe."
Every one In Court roared, and as soon as order
was restored Judge OtterbOurg sad:-"Me Will
send you up for five months for double reason.
First, Tor stealing the watch; and, secondly. be-
cause we think the air of the island good ior the
vocal chords"
Pat suddenly recovered his power OF speech, and
and the "mane divl" in the box VINO had told on
him.
