BALTIMORE, Nov. l4.-Father Gerde-
man, late of Philadelphia st. Boniface
church, publishes a card in the Sun, in
which he says: 81 have left the Catholic
church, rejecting all its peculiar tenets, and
will, please God, never return to it. For
this step offer no apology. have mar
ried my beloved wife, nee Miss Margaret
Witch, Of Reading, Pa, on the 4th inst,
before a Reformed minister, of jersey
City, with the full consent Of her parents,
in the presence of ministers, the amiable
lady and of brother priest. The money used
in speculatiODs was my own. The amount
took along with me did not quite reach
5000. l, for my part, look upon this sum
as rather small reward for more than ten
years labor. Besides, over $500 Of what l
took were actually perquisites, etc. One
thousand dollars of it my sister can have
at any time, since for all her hard work for
over ten years, she has never taken or
would take any remuneration in money.
| publicly now repeat what | wrote to
Bishop Wood, that l will send all my saw
ings during my life towards paying off the
debts of the church, not as a debt that l
owe to justice, but as penalty due to folly.
Mr.. Gerdeman says he will inform Bishop
Wood of his whereabouts as soon as he
finds a settled home. Since his departure
from Philadelphia he has travelled openly,
registering in his own name. He first went
with the lady to Jersey City, where he was
marTiedlthence to Chicago, where the bride
groom remained one day at the Palmer
House; thence to St. Louis, where they took
ahouse intending to reside but for the news
paper publications which reached them and
called for the card now printed.
Gerdeman intended TO sail to-day with his
wife to Europe, but was arrested on
charge of embezzlement, and is held to
await the arrival of Philadelphia officers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Some time after
the Chicago fire a number Of French and
German artists sent TO this city a collection
of paintings, with directions to dispose of
them for the benefit of the suffering poor of
Chicago. The same netted $40, 900, which
has been on deposit at interest with the
Union Trust Company, Mayor Medell
having informed the committee in charge
that the money was not needed. The
committee is now considering plans
to place the funds. Several are
proposed, one being to found a certain
number Of scholarships for art students in
Chicago. Another is to invest portion of the
funds, the yearly interest on which shall be
given in the form Of prizes for the best
specimens of art, and still another is to
make over the whole amount to the Chi
cagO Academy of Fine Arts. One Of these
plans will probably be adopted before the
end of the year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-Over 10000
people witnessed the great running race to-
day, at the Bay District Fair Grounds.
The contest was mainly between Katie
Pease and Thad Stevens, the former win
ming in two straight heats. Time, 7:433!,
1854. The friends of Thad Stevens were
greatly disappointed.
On the first heat the horses got of we'll
together. Tbad Stevens took the first three
miles, closely pushed by Katie Pease. Tie
last mile was won by the latter. Time,
7:431. Stevens was held by his driver on
the last mile, and came in about four
lengths behind.
Alter the first heat Alpha was withdrawn
lame. It was reported that Stevens
also was lame. Al the close Of the second
heat the race was the most exciting ever
witnessed here. Joe Daniels was distanced
in the last heat. The field barely saved
themselves, Henry was Cd, Hardwood Sd,

Incidents.
Just before the race, Katie Pease sold at
$1,000, Thad Stevens for $500, and the field
for 1920. Tie hackers of Thad Stevens
were confident that, if he Ras not shut out
on the first heat he would win the race.
Over 100000 changed hands on the
result. There were many Eastern turf
men on the ground, some of
whom were betting on Thad Stevens. Ten
and twenty dollars were paid along the
course for favorable positions fer occupants
of the carriages. The grounds present a
magnificent spectacle, eclipsing that of the
great running race of last year. Before the
race, Katie Pease sold at 210 TO 500 on
Thad Stevens, Joe Daniels third choice.

A negro was shot and killed, a day or
two ago, by white man, near the State
line, on tie Nashville and Decatur road.
II is said that the white man, who is a
store-keeper, suspected the negro Of enter
ing and robbing his house a few nights
before, and stepped up to him for the pur-
pose Of searching his po,l;ets. The negro
turned to run, when the man picked up a
shot gun and fired with fatal effect. 1t is
also said that the homicide was drinking at
the time.
Our reporter was unable to learn the
names of the parties.

shooting Aaray Near HendersonviIIe:

A negro man by the name of Jennings
went to the house Of Mr.. Dan Campbell, a
well known citizen of Hendersohville, quite
recently, while Campbell was absent, and
offered insult to his wife. On the follow
ing day, Csmbell, accompanied by Mr..
James Richardson, went to the house of the
negro, and started with him back to have
the matter investigated before Mrs. Camp
bell. While en- roGte Campbell ordered
the negro to shut gate, but the latter re-
piled that it made no DID difference, and
that he would not do so, whereupon Camp
bell drew pistol. The negro made at him,
when Campbell fired several shots, one Of
which took effect in the negro's hand, and
another in the thigh of Richardson, who, it
seems, was attempting TO separate them.
Richardson's wound was only a slight one.
The negro had one of his fingers subsequent
ly amputated.

QUITE a number of the heaviest tax.
payers In Memphis are resisting the
collection Of the city school tax. Dis
tress warrants having been issued on
this account against the German
National and First National banks,
they filed petitions for writs of super
sededs, and the cases will come up for
hearing at an early day. All the other
banks and INSURANCE companies have
enjoined the city from the collection of
any tax except forty cents on the hum
dred dollars. These latter cases were
argued nearly a month ago, on a mo-
ton to dissolve the injunction, but
Chancellor Morgan has NO yet deliver
ed an opinion. Should he de-
eide IN favor of the tax
payers, the result would be
a stoppage of the whole municipal
machinery, schools included, as forty
cents on the hundred dollars would not
pay one-tenth of the interest on the
bonded debt. Last year, the levy
amounted to four per cent, and this
year to S1.80 on the hundred dollars.
In the meantime, the Bluff City is rum

THE CITY


Through private letter to a resident Of
this city, we learn Of the death Of Mrs. NJ.
N. Fryer, wife Of Robt. NJ. Fryer, formerly
of this city, which occurred in New York
city on the 10th inst. The death Of this
estimable lady will occasion the deepest
regret 10 her many friends and acquain-
tances here. Her warm, generous heart
and bright social qualities endeared her to
all who were admitted to terms of intima-
cy with her, while her earnest religious
spirit, and pure, conscientious principles
prompted many an act and word Of kind
ness that will never be forgotten.

New YORK and Chicago are both
exercised over the disposition to be
made of some forty thousand dollars
which seems to have no owner. The
money is the proceeds of a lot of pic
lures sent by European artists, to be
sold for the relief of the suffering in
Chicago after the great fire. Before it
was forwarded, Mayor Medill tele-
graphed that no more assistance
was needed. 1t has accumulated
interest since, and the question now is,
what to do whit. The evident purpose
of the original donors was to relieve
human suffering and distress. The
proposed diversion of the fund to the
funding of an art school, would bene-
fit only the classes above want. The
best thing to do on the eve of winter,
would be to give it to the poor. We
suppose there are some few christians
In Chicago, to whom we would say:
If you believe the Master, the poor We
have always with you.

Is his recent address before the Harvard
Medical School, Oliver Wendell Holmes
said that it was the duty of the physician
to make dying for his patient as nearly as
possible like the closing of the eyes in
sleep. When, says he, the end is evidently
near, "is remains for the physician 10 claim
for his art the right Of procuring painless
passage out of the world, so far as it is
practicable, for the patient whom be can
keep no longer in it, and, without doing
violence to the proprieties of the closing
scene, to consider the physical process as
one which should be under his exclusive
direction"

THE Alsatians are grumbling more and
more because their German rulers insist
upon making them feel in every way, that
they are conquerors. At Strasburg it was
lately ordered that newly born children
must henceforth receive no names
which do not appear in the Ger
man calendar. A citizen wished to name
his daughter Blanche, but had to substitute
Mathilde. Fomond, Carlos and Suzette have
had to give way to Ferdinand, Karl and Su-
zanna. The girls at school were in the
habit of ornamenting their desks according
to their own fancies; now they have TO
draw their figures and arrange their colors
according to law. The Alsatians don't
like so much German in theirs, and are
driven to an attitude of passive resistance.
