Some topics were passed over, and
the question box was opened. This, as
usual, contained a diversity of ques-
tions, relevant and otherwise, more in
teresting then than afterwards.
Then came the central theme or topic,
How to Develope Benefcence," dis
cussed by Rev. Aughey and others.
The evening exercises in many re-
poets were considered as the grand cul-
minatiOn of the occasion. In numbers,
IL was vast; in spirit, animated; in en-
tertainment, diversified.
Rev. Aughey opened with a class drill
on Scripture teachings on the subject,
showing that these were profound and
pertinent lie was followed by Rev.

Thursday morning was as auspiCiOus

numbers were somewhat smaller, but

yOtions in opening were followed by an

MORE BLOOD.
Probable Fatal Cutting ARRAY
Near ParlIerSburg.

PAREERsBURG, May 3O-Marstown, a
little village about two miles below this
city, was the scene Of a bloody atlray
WeSncsday night, which will probably
come under the head of murder. About
9 o'clock two young men, named re-
speCtively Andrew and Tom Calvin,
who were under the influence OF liquor,
stopped in front OF little church where
services were being conducted, and told
a little boy to 20 into the church and
call out man named Meyers, a civil
young man, who was attending services.
Movers UnsuSpectingly answered the
summons and came out. The Galyins
accused nim OF telling lies about them,
which he denied, but his denial had no
effect, and they, evidently bent upon a
fight or murder, insulted and cursed
him and finally told him he must fight
them.
Some Of the church members, unable
to stop the quarrel, told them they must
leave the premises il they would fight,
which they finally concluded to DO.
They proceeded some distance from the
church into a field within sight, when
Andy and Movers pitched into each
other. Bystanders declare that while
ANDY and Movers were fighting Tom
slipped up behind the latter and struck
him on the head with a boulder, telling
him like an OK, and when he fell Andy
jumped on him and stabbed him in nine
places with a knife, intiic'ing terrible
wounds, either OF which, the physician
declares, are serious enough to prove
fatal.
The Galvins then lett, when Meyers
was picked up and taken TO his home,
where everything was done to relieve
him, but at this writing there seems but
little chance for his recovery. Officer
Stagg captured Andy Calvin, the man
who, it i, alleged did the cutting, but
Tom has thus far eluded arrest.
