An Old Resident Gone.

On Monday morning last Mr.. William
Furlong died at his home IN the town of
Window, about four miles east of this
city. On the 18th inst. he was stricken
by partial paralysis, from the effects Of
which he never recovered. Deceased
was born in the county ofTipperary, Ire.
land, on the 9th Of January, 1898, and
was consequently 81 years, months and
eighteen days old. When he was about
so years old, he, with his family, came to
America, landing at New York, where
he remained u year. From thence he
went to Observation-Disclosures to Galcna,
Illinois, and from there to his late home,
where he has resided nearly % years.
MIR. Furlong was one Of those genial men
with whom it is always pleasure to
meet. He brought the exuberance Of his
more youthful days down the stream of
time with him-preserving that peculiar
humor of his nativity even to the latest
days of his life. He was known as an
honorable man. He had no federation
for shams, and loved to act out on all
occasions his cherished principles OF
integrity and he was universally esteemed
for his solid character and upright life
Born and reared a Catholic, he early
united with the church and has always
been jealous admirer of it's doctrines
and rules Of faith. He was buried yes
terday from the Cathedral.
Rev. Father Christie, with the aid oil
the church choir, which is a very fine
one, conducted the services The large
house was filed, and as many remained
outside as were seated within. The pro
cession was the largest that we ever saw
One hundred and nine teams were in line
loaded with the friends and neighbors OF
the deceased, following his remains tc
their last resting place. 1t was an i'm
posing demonstration and spoke eloquent
ly of the virtues of the silent octogena
rian, then on his way to the grave. Mr.
Furlong was a quiet, transformations cit
izen, kind to all, and beloved by all, and
thus it is, and ever will be. The influence
of good life exists to honor him who
lived it after the clods have been heaped
upon his coffin, and the grass grown, and
the flowers Dloomed above his decaylng
body. "Blessed are the dead who die il
the Lord"

well niled, the quarter-stretch was
wcll-populated by enthusiastic sports
men, the booksellers were kept busy,
and the gaily-clothed jockeys were
the centres of admiring groups ofam-
bilious youths. The iniield was thick
ly crowded with visitors who could
not afford the luxury of a scat in the
grand stand or the privilege Of stand
ing on the quartcr-stretch. Lines
Of carriages stretched far up and
down the track. Every one appeared
eager for the sport, and even the
horses seemed TO breathe the restless
spirit of the hour. Such scene
has never before been witnessed at
any race track in the District. The
temporary stand erected for the
judges answered the purpose well,
though the judges were without shell
ter.
The races were in every instance
unfortunate for the hvoritcs, and
demonstrated the old saying that
there is nothing more uncertain than
horsc-raCing. If ever any horse
races were square" those witnessed
yesterday are included in the num-
Der, as every horse seemed to he
working hard for the purse and hon
ors. The track was in splendid con-
dition, harrows and rollers having
been used for several days in per-
fecting the surface. The horscmen
are delighted with the track. 1t is

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Will of Malyina Matthews
A Case of Local Interest.

WASHINGTON, December 22.-No. 80,
J. J. Kahn, Bishop, &c, appellant, VS..
L. g. Gibboney, executrix, &c, appeal
from the Circuit Court OF the United
States for the Western District OF Nir-
ginia This was suit to enforce be-
quest made in the last will and testa-
ment of Malvina Matthews to the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Wheeling, or
his successor, and by him held in trust
for whatever religious community
the testatrix might belong to at the
time of her death. She died member
of the Roman Catholic Sisterhood OF st.
Joseph. This Court holds that since
the beuuest in controversy was not
made to the Bishop of Wheeling per-
sonally, but to the Bishopric, and since
the community for whose benefit it was
intended is not incorporated and has no
legal existence, the validity OF such be-
quest can only be sustained on the
ground that it Is a gift for charitable
uses. This, however, does not clearly
appear to be the case, and since it has
been repeatedly held by the Courts OF
Virginia that Chancery Courts have no
jurisdiction to uphold charities where
the objects are indefinite and uncertain,
the decree of the Circuit Court dis
missing the bill of the plaintiff below is
affirmed with costs.

CHRISTIAN BRETHREN.
Disgraceful Scene in n House of
WOrship-A Free Fight Be-
tween the Elders, Pastor and
His Friends,

PITTSBURGH, December 2l.-The First
Reformed Presbyterian Church (Coyen-
anter) was the scene OF lively operations
to-day. Some weeks ago Rev. Nevin
Woodsides, of Brooklyn, was called to
the pastOrate. The vote was not unan-
imous, about twenty-five dissenting.
There has been trouble with these twen-
tv-five ever since, as they include the
Elders. Rev. Alvord, Moderator of the
Presbytery and Chairman OF the Sup
plies Committee, is in their interest. So,
although Woodsides has preached here
eight weeks, he has not yet been in
stalled.
Rev. Alvord, for the ant-WOodside-
ties, had new move on the table to-
dav. Mr.. Crook, licentiate of the Theo-
logical Seminary, was announced in the
papers by the Committee on Supplies to
preach, and Rev Woodsides, as pastor,
proposed also to preach. Both were on
hand with their friends. After Sunday
school WoOdsides started to the pulpit,
and was stopped by the Elders. The
preacher took off his coat and eXpostu-
lated. Mr.. MINI, Appointment men,
ber said: "Mr. Woodsides, you are a
-" Woodsides' friends
rushed up, and the young licentiate
sought safety in the vestibule. A melee
ensued. in which WOOdsides' face was
scratched, Mr.. Barclays finger disloca-
ted, VIM. Jamison's eye blackened, and
two pair of spectacles smashed. The
police were called in, and the Wood
sides people held the fort.
