The Chains of Both Curtin and McClure's
Watches Grabbed-McKay's Thieves Get
the Chains and Mckay Gets Choking
Mckay and one Pal Held m Nominal
Bail. -----.--. .-..-..-..
Chestnut street, just below Seventh,
was made most unexpectedly attractive
to the crowds of passers-by about eleven
O'Clock yesterday morning, by personal
assault upon Mr.. A. X. Mcclure, editor
OF the Times, by Mr.. Nat Mckay and
two accompanying thieving bullies hired
by him for the occsslon. At about the
hour named, Mr.. Mcclure started from
the Times office down Chestnut street,
accompanied by Ex-Governor Curtin
They walked along very leisurely enjoy
ing toe bright spring morning and SO en-
crossed IN their conversation that neither
OF them noticed the tall, stalwart form of
Mr. Nat Mckay approaching them from
the other side of the street until he had
come squarely up alongside of Mr.. Nc
Clure. His face flushed and paled with
mingled anger and fear, and his words
We're stammered out like culprit In the
dock, as he said, with the usual amount
OF profanity that would become an aver
age plundering naval contractor: II will
settle with you now myself"
As be spoke he drew from bis breast a.
small plated leather whip, and drew it
to strike Mr.. Mcclure but his awkward
ness and cowardIce had so unuerved him
even with two hired ruffians at his heels,
that before he could bring his whip down
MIR. Mcclure sprang upon him, seized
him firmly by the throat with both hands
and held him as if in wise. Mckay
gagged and struggled TO extricate himself
but in few seconds it was manifest that
he was utterly helpless and that he must
speedily fall at the mercy of the man he
had assailed. All this was the work al
most of an instant, aud the two hired
pals OF Mckay at once rushed in upon
Mr.. Mcclure and in less time than it
could be told, one, who gave his name at
The magistrates as John Conalan, struck
MT. Mcclure stunning blow on the
back of the head and followed it with
another on the left ear. Mr.. David Web
ster was passing and he seized the fellow
named Conalan and held him from fur
ther blows, and was promptly Joined by
MIR. w. Ellwood Rowan, who had lust
come up. Mr.. Rowan was with difficulty
restrained by Mr.. Webster from spelling
the naturally bad countenance OF the
ruffian who had been one of the three to
attack an unarmed man. While Conalan
was striking Mr.. Mcclure from behind,
another pal of McKay's rushed upon Mr..
Mcclure in front and struck him over
the left eye with some instrument, prob
ably a blackjack, and was about to re-
peat the blow when he was thrown back
by Mr.. Curtin, and in the crowd he made
his escape without being identified by
any one present. In the meantime Nc
Clure held Mckay by the throat until he
was released by the interference of the
crowd and the officers. Mckay and So
called Conalan were taken in custody by
the police, who asked Mcclure what he
wanted done with them. He answ cred
that the hired ruffians should be held,
but that he could settle the matter with
Mckay. r.tt

for u.s. Jesus made an atonement; hence We
are not required to atone for sin. God COM
mands all men everywhere to repent. Acts,
xvii: 80. Confession of sin and repentance
are inseparably connected. Therefore, We
conclude, according to the principle that God
requires no man to do what Jesus did for
him, that Jesus neither confessed sin for the
people, nor repented them. Every man is
commanded to confess his sins to God, and
seek pardon through the blood of the Lamb
of God, which taketh away the Gin of the
world.
We conclude that the word baptizo, which
is transferred into our language from the
Greek-1ot transiated-is used in great va
riety of senses, or with reference to great va
riety of things. Some times it is used in con-
nection with religious rites and ceremonies,
and some times it is not When ship sunk
beneath the water, the word baptizo was some
times used when man got drunk, he was
said to be baptized in wine when boy was
perplexed, he was said to be baptized with
cares when a man was asked great many
questions. he was said to be baptized with
questions when mans sins pressed him sore,
he could say, and did say, "my iniquity bap-
tizes me-" Isaiah xxi:4. Septuagint version.
When creek overAowed the low lands, they
were said to be baptized. To these examples,
which westand prepared to verify from classi.
cal authors, many more might be added.
To say that man has been baptized-or
immersed, if it is preferred d-gives us no def.
mite idea of what was done, if we stick to the
classical meaning of the word. He may have
been lying on the sea shore when the tide rose,
and only overAowed by the briny deep; or he
may be oppressed by his sins; or some inquis'
tive creature may have asked him multi
tude of irrelevant questions or he may have
fallen in the branch and got good ducking
or he may have touched corpse and gone to
the nearest water and washed, or dipped, or
plunged his hands.
Christian baptism was Instituted by Christ
but short time before his ascension. "Then
the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed
them. And when they saw him, they wor-
shipped him but some doubted. And Jesus
came and spake unto them saying, All pow.
er is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, bap-
tizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" Matt.
xviii 1919. Mark (xvi:19 says: $50
then, after the Lord had spoken unto them,
be was received up into heaven, and sat on
the right hand of God" If there is any pas
sage in the Scriptures in which tits said that
our Saviour, before this time, commanded his
disciples to baptize in the name of the three
persons of the Godhead, or commanded them
to baptize at all, would be glad to see it. l
think George W. Clark, or anybody else, will
have some difficulty in finding it. =,
