Chicag0's Farewell to DR.. Harris.
TEhfca0o Timaa 16.hf


Yesterday being the last day on which the
members Of the parish OF st. James could call
the Rev. Dr. Harris rector, a large number Of
his flock called at his residence to bid him
farewell and wish him God speed to his new
field Of usefulness, the bishopric OF Michi-
gan.
The relations which have existed between
DR.. Harris and his flock have been unusually
close and tender, and seldom has clergyman
grown SO completely into the life OF his par
ish In few years as 1t has been his lot to do
Although gratified at his elevation to the
highest h0nOrs In the church, and confident
that he will ably fulfill the responsibilities as
he will adorn the station to which he is
called. the regret OF the parish at parting
with him is deep and general, and the fare
well reception OF yesterday, therefore, was
like family gathering upon the departure
Of g favorite son Of the house TO a strange
field.
It was OF an entirely informal character,
and callers embraced not only the members
Of his own church, but members of the clergy
and laity of the Episcopal Church throughout
the city.
DR. Harris left tor Detroit on last evening,
accompanied by Bishop Wilmer, OF Alabama,
who is one of the bishops designated to par
ticipate IN the conservation emonies at De-
fr,,if

REFUSES TO MIX.
Gen. Sheman's Reply to an Invitation to At
tend Soldiers Reunion at
Salisbury, N. O.

The attempt is being made in North Caro-
lima to promote reunion and determination
of the old soldiers OF the Federal and COnfed-
crate armies at Salisbury on October %, with
a view to neutralize the spirit Of sectionalism
that Is still rife in the land. The generals and
leading officers Of the old Confederate forces
have responded cordially to invitations to at
tend this Salisbury and Rowan reunion, but
the Federal generals have showed much more
reserve. Gen. Sheridan declines the invita-
ton with thanks and good wishes, besides
many regrets that official duties and previous
engagements will prevent him from attend
ing. Gen.Wm. Z. Sherman, however, bluntly
refuses to be present. and says: "There Is no
use In my mincing terms. w henever and where
ever the honest men of North Carolina meet
to allay sectional and party animoslty and to
cultivate feelings of fraternity and respect
it will be to me most tempting to come to
Salisbury, but must not be con-
strued as asserting to the proposition that
Confederates and Union men were alike
worthy of a celebration for the terrible his
tory Of 1876" The General adds that he
all are absolutely equal, all alike interested
In the present and future glory of the COM
mon country, He would certainly be out of
place at a Confederate reunion. He says:
"AIl soldiers, In their social reunions, glori-
fy their deeds of heroism, and this reunion
strange sight for Gen. Sherman to cheer the
victories OF his enemies. and respond to the
claim that because the soldiers OF North Caro-
lima were brave and true to their State and
section their cause was as sacred as ours
which finally triumphed, and made our Union
fore. We're I present, and should you sup
press this natural feeling, would feel myself
an intruder marring the natural happiness OF
a festive occasion. know that the soldier

War Among the Methodists in the Village
of Marlborough, N. z.

MARLBOROUGH, N. Y, Sept. 1s.-There Is
war among the Methodist brethren of this
village. For long time past there have been
dissensions within the church in regard to the
rights and privileges of the large number of
colored members The negroes have no
church in this neighborhood, and have for
years received their spiritual instruction
along with the whites. It has, however, al
ways been customary for the black man to
occupy a back seat, and he has never been al
lowed voice in the church management.
On communion Sundays the colored brethren
have always been obliged to wait until the
whites had partaken OF the bread and wine.
Recently spirit OF opposition to this order
of things has sprung up among the colored
folks. A few weeks ago those foremost
among the blacks resolved that If race preju-
dice was to rule within the Church, it were
better that they should sever their connec-
ton with the society. They gave notice Of
this determination, averring that Ii they
could not partake of the Lords Supper on
equal terms with the whites they had no hon
oTable course to pursue but to dissolve fellow
ship. They were not without allies among
the white brethren, and the discussion was
carried into the Church. It waxed hot, and
produced much bitter discussion.
On Sunday last there was not very large
congregation at the meeting house," The
Rev DR.. O5bon, the regular pastor, was alb

A Hotel and its Occupants Blown Into the
Air at Westerville.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. Westerville In
this county, the headquarters OF Otterbein
University, and the backbone OF the political
prohibition party, has just now sensation
which should incarcerate some Incorporate
temperance people In the penitentiary. -Four
years ago Henry Corbin, a saloon-keeper, was
ordered to cease selling liquor In Westerville
or abide the consequences. He was arrested
many times and fined for selling liquor for
profane swearing and all possible crllnes, but
he refused to give up, and declared his inten-
ton OF staying by his saloon as long as he
wanted to. One night small building, occu-
by an explosion Of can of gnnpoWder which
some one had placed in the bar-room. The
affair created great excitement, and leading
men OF the village-preachers teachers and
doctors-were arrested and an attempt made
to discover who placed the powder In Corbin's
building. but all to no purpose. Corbin then
removed his family from WestervilIe, but
recently returned and opened the Corbin
hotel and saloon. His return awakened all
the old hostility toward him, and socially he
was ostracised Last night, at a late hour
an explosion shook the entire village, and
people rushed out to find the Corbin house In
ruins, and many neighbortng houses more or
less damaged. Although there were num-
was injured except Corbin, and he is badly
hurt, having had his teeth knocked out, a hole
crushed in his head and his chest hurt by
heavy timbers which fell on him from the
upper story. Mis-. COrDln, VINO was un1n-
jured, says from the nature Of the explosion
she is confident the powder was placed d.
rectly under the room occupied by Corbin.
his wife, babe and two small children. Her
first knowledge OF trouble was the explosion,
followed at once by the crash OF falling
timber. The bed she occupied with
her husband and babe was blown
from under them, and her two children
occupying another bed were thrown
into the cellar. but only slightly injured. She
found her husband under fallen timber, and
too much injured to rise. This morning q
committee appointed by the mayor held an
investigation and decided that the explosion
was caused by large quantity of gunpowder,
which was placed In the cellar and ignited
by fuse leading from the street. Last night
two g. pound kegs OF gunpowder we're stolen
from a village store, and this was doubtless
used by the dastards who did the deed. Citi-
zens report that just before the explosion two
men were seen near the hotel with
dask lantern, but no one thought
their presence sufficiently suspicious to
interfere with them. The citizens
claim that they regret the explosion be-
cause 1t will injure the temp erance cause; but
although Corbin and his family have been
rendered homeless and penniless by this out
rage, no one has come forward to offer them
shelter or comfort. The loss by the explosion
will be about $4,000, some half a dozen build
ings being more or less injured.
