BEECHER AGAIN.

COMMITTEE OF ENQUIRY APPOINTED.
BROOKLYN, Nov. 5.-Conflicting reports
are in circulation regarding the action taken
in the case of Mr.. Bescher, by the Associa-
tion of the Congregational clergynen of
Now York and Brooklyn at their meeting
last night The following is published this
evening as the latest and most accurate YER
sion: "The Association at DR.. Scuddsr's
Ch; rch last spring when a motion to ex-
anime into Mr.. Beeceer's relations tablsd 1t.
That motion was reached in due course at
the regular Fall Meeting this week, DR..
Storr made further melton to indefinitely
postpone the notion and supported it in =
long speech. Another clergyman, Rev. Il.
M. Stores, the Secretary of the Congress-
'tional Mission, made speech against Rev.
DR.. R. 8. storr's motion for an indefinite
postponement and counselled and insisted
upon the appointment of committee Of Eve
members. His views prevailed and the COM
mittee was appointed. Rev. H. w. Storrs
is recognized friend of Mr.. Bescber, and is
regarded admittedly as spokesman for Mr..
Becchcr's friends. The statement, there
fore, that the ai' jin.mcnt >f the commit:
tee was opposed by BeccAer's side 10 claimed
to be entirely the reverse of true. The fol-
lowing clergymen compose the committee
Eevs. DR.. Budington, Professor Parsons,
Professor Martin, Charles Hall Everett and
William n. Taylor. There is some variance
of opinions as to the character of the work
assigned to the committee. The report says
they will inquire whether BeseAers relstions
to his own Church are such - the ether
members of the association bear to their
churches, and the statement Is that the
committee will investigate the scandal mat

After review of the case. as already pub

remanded to prison to answer the charge o

IS 1T A MURDER? THE LONELY DEATH OF
A STRANGER.
Yesterday afternoon, the body of an un
known man was found at the lower end Of
Broad Street, near to League Island. The
exact position of the corpse was to tho left
of the highway, about 200 feet, where it
was discovered by q passer by the day pre-
vious. The body, especially the neck, breast
and head, was terribly mutilated, and when
Grst observed, the lower limbs were sub
merged by the quagmire Of filth into which
it had fallen.
The police authorities were notified at
once, but failed to communicate their infor-
nation to the Coroner, so that the decaying
corpse is still lying exposed to the attacks
of the wild fowl of the "Neck."

The notorious DR.. Horheson, fellow
who has been playing with Philadelphia
justice for couple of years, and hasn't yet
tasted of the punishme 1t he richly deserves,
has appeared again upon the tapis, this
time as the robber of poor widow lady.
The rascal was called in to attend the Nh
woman in sudden emergency,
and his first act, after administering to her
or some other narcotic was to
assault her daughter, and from which he
lesisted only when the child delivered up
1er mothers bank book. He then went to
he Savings Bank and gave notice that he
would draw out the balance represented in

Gazette.
Tbs city viii always he a great center
for gambling. because the blacklegs of all
nations center here. Every game known
among civilized nations here has its de-
voices, aud even the aheathen Chinee' has
a gambling resort. Gambling is here IN
geniOusly adapted 20 all aces and tastes, as
we'll as to all nations. There is the ten
cent keno hole for clerks and apprentices,
and there is the splendid hell
for men of better tastes and
more money. The fascination with
which the practice holds its followers is
beyond description. A few years ago a man
named Green, who styled himself "the re-
formed gambler delivered lectures on the
frauds which marked every fO:m Of gaming.
This did not impair the business in the
least, and I am under the impression that

SEVENTEEN reasons are given by
the Cincinnati Enquirer for It's belief
that the Democrats viii carry Ohio in
October. The last, and perhaps best,
assigned is the position of the party
on the financial question. While
there IS some lack of harmony in this
regard, it is not evident that any
Democrat viii vote against the ticket
because of the platform. It is GER
tain that thousands Of men who have
heretofore acted with the Republican
party will vote the Democratic ticket
this year on account of It's financial
creed; and every days discussion Will
dispel falsehoods, make clear the
doubtful points, Danish heresiea, and
add to the popularity Of the green
back doctrine. The silent mines and
mills; the acres that God boun fully
blesses, but that bring no dividends to
the owner; the unpaid claims of every
merchant are eloquentiy pleading for
the Democratic cause. Hard times

The Crops fn Cheafham County
WOrming Tobacco by Dog Power
Montgomery COunty's POetess 20
Publish a Volume.
To the Union and American:
The farmers are very busily engaged just
now threshing their wheat, garneTing their
oats, laying by their corn and WOrming,
printing and suckering their tobacco. From
Townsville, Tenn, to near Lafayette,
XIV, l have talked to farmers and thresheTs,
and from them and my own personal OBJ
servatiOn l CLEAN the following facts in Ie-
gard to crops: Wheat sOWn on good soil, put
in with a drill and threshed before
the last prOtracted rain, is very fine in
every sense Of the word; but where 1t was
sOWn broadcast on thin soil, poorly shock
ed and remained 90 till after the rain, it
does not more than pay for the labor be-
slowed. In short, the wheat crop In this
county may be reported tOlerably good so
far as the number of bushels per acre is
concerned; but one miller says 1t requires
seven bushels Of wheat this year TO make
barrel.
The prospect for a good corn crop is very
fine indeed. Some Of the tobacco is a little
"frenched," and some almost hid from hu-
man vision by weeds and grass; but where
it was planted on elevated soil, a little
gravelly, the weed is very superior in its
appearance. Now, as [ have intimated
such thing as Incidence upon the part of
farmers, L desire to say that greater energy
has not been exhibited for decades past
than has been manifested this year. The
grass and weeds in the crop are explained
as follows:
1. Farmers ovecropped themselves, even
if the rains had been light, while they
proved to be abundant.
2. Some citizens, both white and cOlOred,
have had 70 leave their crops temporarily
and work elsewhere to procure provender
for their horses and bread for their fam
lilies.
3. In many instances the horses and
mules could not do full labor for want of
food.
But l thank God that We have nearly
passed through such great restitution, and,
under the Providence Of God, our land viii
soon smile with abundance.
Mr.. Clay Long, of Longs Store in Mont
gOmery county, has a female pointer that
goes to the; tobacco field and worms abOu
as much tobacco in a day as the best hand
he has. She does not break the leaves Of
the tobacco and eats the worms to large
extent. So while she is Kidding her owner
