THE BOARD OF POLICE JUSTICES.

The Police Justices held their last session Board
for the year 1878 last night at jefferson Market Court
Eleven magistrates were present, presided over
by Justice Hammer, and although tho meet
ing long and doubt interesting TO the
gentlemen who took part in the motions substitutes
amendments. points of order and discussions grow
ing out Of them. little nothing of interest to the
public was done. There was quite long debate
the somewhat lengthy report OF Justice Wheeler rela-
tive to the Excise law. the point of which was
in reality little more than a suggestion to
the Legislature to repeal or amend that por
tion OF section 1 of tho act of 1869 which
fixed the bail IN of violation of the excise nj
500. to make the matter of bail and the amount
discretionary with the magistrate. There some

ANOTHER CHURCH SCANDAL.
IsT CHURCH CHARGED WITH MrsAPPRo.
PEIATINa FUNDS.

THE TREASURER on THE ToTTENvILLE METHOD
IsT CHURCH CHARGED WITH MrsAPPRo-
PuATINa FUNDS.
Church circles at Tottcnv1e, s. l., have been for
some months past agitatcd the alleged convcr-
sion TO his use by Mr. Aonzo w. Joline Of some
$500 of the funds Of the Bethel Methodist Episcopal
Church, of which he is treasurer. Mr.. Joline has
been an active agent of the temperance cause. and
has prosecuted many Of the liquor dealers of tho
county for violation of the Excise law, but has
never, according 10 competent authority, been able
to secure a conviction.
The story of tho $500. givon by Mr.. Joline and
his opponents. is as follows:-One johnson winant
holds mortgage Of $1,000 on the Bethel Church and
some tino ago the Board OF Trustees Of tho church
gave Joline the $500 to pay to Winsnt the mort
gage provided the latter would accept IT, Here the
stories differ, Jolne claiming that winant refused TO
accept the $780, saying he wanted all tho money
or none, and that the trustees then loaned
the money to yolne ut six per cent in
terest. Those opposed to Mr.. Jone. however,
give very different verison of the affair. They
claim that Wnnnt offered to accept the $780, but ho
transacted business himself, desired Mr. Jolino
to call when his was at home, which request has
never been compiled with Then they claim that
Mr.. Jolino converted tho funds TO his own use.
The church appointed a committee composed of
Rev. AL. q. Clark. the pastors y. w. Spraguc. David
Ryder and John Robbins, to investigate the
matter on charges preferred against Mr..
Joline by MIR. John Graham. Tho committee
held session yesterday in the Sunday school room

DISCIPLES CHURCH CHRISTMAS.

In front Of the organ in the Church Of the Dis
cipcs where the Rev. George H. Hepworth stands on
Sunday, there stood last night big Christmas tree
dressed out in all the tnscl and toggery Of the sea-
On either side of it couple of baby trees
similarly attired. The occasion was the Sunday
school Christmas festival. and the children and
teachers their peassntsst smiles well as their
best dresses. The church well filled with visi-
tors before the exercises began. Tho opgan-
list led on the proceedings with .
very wicked dancing tune. which set tho
children and young folk almost dancing in their
seats. OF course they wouldnot do such thing any
way But the organist very quickly atoned for this
by giving them something very pious--namely ''Thc
Sweet By and By, with variations Then the school
foiiSwed with chsrsctcrstic song about 'fie won
derful Christmas tree with its wonderful gifts FOR
me" The big tree did contain some wonderful
headed cane for Dr.. j. W.. Ranncy from
his Biblo class, and an immense candy
cane for the pastor, Mr.. Hepworth who pstheticaly
told the audience that year ago he received similar

forgot that Il was fragile sta6 and when he bumped

He retained enough Of 1t. however, to make all the
family sick. Hc intended to be more careful or the
present cane but whether to make the household
more sick or not he did not say. This wonderful
Christmas tree contained, besides, check for $780,
presented by Mr.; Brush. the Sunday school gu
br. Ranney to Mr.. IIepworih, SO that he he
bow pleasantly and prettily when he
makes his annual calls on Wednesday. But the
derful tree contained moreover, gold watch chain
for Mr.. A. y. Arnold, assistant pastor; beautiful

and toys and candy cornucopas every teacher and

superIntendents and teachers. The festival an
exceedingly enjoyable and every person left the
house happy. especially those who accepted Mr..
Hepworths doctrine that . little gift is good a
large one, and, with little imagination thrown in,
gift ought to be as good as little But every
present received the gift OF enjoyment seeing the
pleasure that was imparted to otners not 10 them
