We, the undersigned Board Of Trustees

do hereby deny emphaticaly the rumors
Of the mismanagement of the church ..fhnds
reported in yesterdays issue Of the MORN

scithoM any foundation Whatsoever. The
financial affairs of the church have boen
such that the demands upon the treasury
have been far in excess of Ito resources,
and we can only account for the circulation
of such baseless rumors as asemassting from
and through personal malice.

Last evening, before Esquire Frazer
George Anderson, boy aged 1S, was givel
q hearing on complaint Of Mary Williams
. pupil of Howard school, aged II years
The circumstances of the affair are al
follows:
The teacher who occupied the room II
which Miss Williams was a pupil became
sick and the charge of 1t was assigned tc
Anderson. On Thursday, . spelling class
was called out, and the pupils who missed
their words. Anderson ordered them tc
be seated, and when the class had finished
thOse who had failed wefe ordered to stand
up and toe the mark as punishment
Mary, who had missed word, did not i'm
medlately obey, and upon Anderson telling
her to 60, she replied that she would rs soon
as she could get book. He then told her
that II she did not 90 at once, that he
would smack her. She made some reply,
when be ran after her, struck her on the
side of the head, gave her hard push,
and threw her ever bench. She immefi-
atsly jumped up and threw slate at him.
He slapped her second time, Two of the
schoolboys corroborated the test imony
given and, Anderson admitted the
charges, but thought be did right, where
upon he was fined 81 and costs Of prosecu-
tirn.
A vfOtENT CHARACTER.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Woodward
arrested William Dutten at Fourth and
King streets. in this city, for an assault
committed on Melville Gambrill, Of H. M.
Gambrill & Co., Brandywine Cotton Mills,
upon the eighth OF last month, and he was
taken before Esquire Hagany.
It appears from the evidence that Dutton,
on the 9Th ult. went into the Brandywine
mills aud was ordered out by Mr.. Gam
brill. He not only refused to 20, but vio-
lently assaulted Mr.. Gambrille beating him
Sd badly that he was confined to his bed for
some time. Dutton also abused the EN-
ployees and superintendent when they At
tempted to interfere. He succeeded in
getting away but was captured the next day
by Officer Woodward, from whom he es-
capped while he was being conducted to the
City Hall.
The constable has been looking out for
his man for some time and found him yes
terday as described. Esquire Hagany held
Dutton in $500 for Court upon each Of the
following charges:
Assault and battery upon Melville Gam
brill; trespass upon the property; threaten
ing the foreman, William Jones and for
resisting Oficer Woodward. He failed to
give bonds and will be taken to New Castle
to-day.

THE EASTERN WAR dispatches re-
ceived to-day put the question of the
Eastern war in q new aspect. 1t can
not be said that this change in the situ-
alton is unexpected, for it was next
to impossible to suppose that the
Powers adjacent to the seat OF war
would, or could, restrain their people
from becoming participants in the con-
dict. And now we are informed that
Austria proposes to absorb Bosnia,
already geographically within her en-
brace, and to occupy" SerVia.
Startled by this significant demonstra-
lion on the part OF Austria, Russia in-
Itantly pushes an army GO, 900 strong for
ward to her own frontiers in Bessarabia,
fronting on the Turkish territory. Mean
while Roumania forms an army 100, 900
strong to guard The integrity of that Prin-
sipality. Thus we now find no less than
SiX armies lowering over the theater of
war, the Servian, the Turkish, the Mon
ienegrin, the Austrian, the Roumanian,
anu Ipe huSSldH, luTee Ol JueM are j II
actual conflict. That the others can be
Kept aloof from the contest, seems ex-
eeedingly improbable. And if either
one OF these others strikes a blow, from
that moment the war becomes universal
throughout Southeastern Europe.
The moment is critical, and big with
the fate Of Empires. The sympathies OF
Russia are all with the Slayonic tribes
Of the Turkish Provinces; and her po.
litical ambition is aroused once more tt
annihilate the Turkish power i'll Europe
Austria is equally ambitious to seize
upon the Turkish Provinces adjacent tC
her own frontiers, and thereby to extend
her dominions along all the Adriatic
down to the Ionian Sea on the borders
of Greece.
Should this conflict be fully opened
the Western Powers, Germany, France
and England, can not remain Indifferent
spectators of the strife. Though MOI
territorially interested in the contest
their commercial interests must never
theless become materially involved
What may be the attitude that thes
latter Powers will assume is as yet un
pronounced. But the avoidance OF
general war seems now to be next t,
impossible.

A Remarkable Clock,

In one OF the French papers we find a
description Of wonderful piece oil
mechanism in the clock line. Here are
the particulars:
1t chimes The quarters, plays sixteen
tunes, plays three tuues every twelve
hours, or will play at any time required.
Tue hands 70 round as follows: One,
once minute; one, once an hour; one,
once week; one, once month; one,
once a year. 1t shows the moons age:
the rising and setting OF tthe sun; the time
OF high and low water, half ebO and hali
food, and, by a beautiful contriyance,
there is part representing The water,
which rises and falls, lifting some ships
at nigh water tide as if they were IN
motion, and, as it recedes, leaves these
little automaton ships dry on the sands.
Tne clock SHOWS the hour Ut The day, day
of the week, day of the month, month OF
the year, and in the day Of the month
there is provision made for the long and
short months. Ii shows the signs of the
zodiac; it strikes or not, chimes or moi,
as may be desired; and it has Inc equa-
ton table, showing the difference oil
clock and sun every day In the year.
