The Surrogate said that the question was
4 grave one, and he did not like to pass up
on il hastily. He concluded to receive the
testimony Professionally, and said he would
render his decision at the next session.
Mrs. DaDforth then resumed her testi-
mony as follows: On the first night Com
modore Vandesbilt said he was very I'M
/ happy and dissatisfied with his will /; on
The second night ne said he was much dis
tressed in mind in reference to his will, and
| that il was wrong of him to take the adj
vice of William and Dr. Lin ley and hav-
ing his daughters kept away from him; he
made that and other statements that the
court might object 10. The witness spoke
indistinctly Mr.. Clinton said, whats
that? what's that" Mr. Comstock re-
marked that he did not catch the full
force OF her testimony. She repeated it at
their request. They looked at each other
moment with a comical expression of
helpless establishment, and then Mr.. Com
stock Strengthened himself and moved that
the whole be stricken out "a it amounted to
a revocation Of the will, which could not
de done in that way.

Another great strike has been fortunately
averted in the coal regions. Ten DAYS ago
one OF the large companies at Wilkesbarre
notified its workingmen that the price of coal
at tide water was so low that it could not
operate the mines at the present rates of
wages and asking a reduction OF ten per
cent. until next March. The seven thou
sand men in the employment of the COM
pany have wisely accepted the situation and
will work at the reduced rates. This is far
better than striking.

that degree OF respect which is accorded to

n Brother Hammond Being CRITICISED.

4
| The Rev. +. Payson Hammond belongs
10 the stalwart and sensational school of
reyivalisis. He believes in fighting Satan
with any material which comes TO hand,
and 1t may he presumed that he is proud Of
his somewhat peculiar methods. Western
people are familiar with the peculiarities of
the gentleman as manifested in this part of
the country and will not be surprised to
learn that he has added some new features
To his meetings during his experience in
the East.
Mr.. Hammond recently concluded a Sc
ries of successful meetings at Ycnkers. "
| u, and a reporter for the New York WnH
was present at the closing services by invi-
tation. The revivalist submitted grace
| iHlly 10 an interview, and graciously ex-
| p'ained the principles Of his system. lie
began generally, he said. with the children
| working them up to a state Of excitement
and enthusiasm, and then using them as
stepping-stones 10 reach the old sinners
His motto was: 4" Take care of the lambs
aud YOU will catch the sheep"
When he converted one hard drinker or
one desperate character, he used him TO
convert Others. At Gonkers, one Of his
characters was George Newman, who was
not more than twenty years of age, but who
had been arrested twenty-five times. He
held outdoor meetings, at which Newman
and other men Of that class spoke to the
people, relating their experience. New
mans old cronies insinuated that George
was influenced by the new suit of clothes
given him by the parson, but the revivalist
placed the greatest confidence in him.
On the last day at Yonkers, Mr. Ham
mond made his appearance on the street in
two-seated road wagon, drawn by a pair
of prancing black horses. He stood on the
front seat and addressed the crowd as the
team was driven along. Newman, the man
who had been in the calaboose twenty-five
times, was the star performer of the occa-
sion. To refined ears his address bordered
on the blasphemous, and his experience, as
he related it, was as Objectionable as the
Dick Turpin style of dime novel literature,
but Mr.. Hammond assured the reporter
that this was the only way to reach the
people.
A laugh in the crowd called out the re-
mark from Newman that "Jesus would
make them laugh out OF the other side Of
their mouths" Again he said: "Boys,
why is my nose like the Brooklyn bridge
Give it up? Because so many schooners
OF beer-have gone under it. This was
pronounced by the master OF ceremonies as
quite happy.
The crowd called for /" The Steamboat
Man. and red-cheeked young fellow pro-
ceeded to narrate the incidents of his rak-
ish life. As the greater part of the listen
ers were innocent children, the good inhu-
ences of such narration were not appar-
