Resignation of Rev. DR.. Lewis.

At the Easter election the vestry OF st. Johns
Episcopal church, on 10th street, was reelected.
There was considerable talk at the election
about the management OF the affairs OF the

and some sharp words. A portion OF the vestry

eholr and the work in the chapel Of the church,

the sunday services without assistance. There
was also objection to the rector about some of his
sermons. it being thought that they were too

SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT AND FINE.
This morning, In the Criminal Court, Judge
James, in the case OF Judge John w. Wright
convicted of assault, under Indictment for a
aDO, on the 18th of october, 1871 the motion
for new trial was argued by Mr.. F. p Stanton
for Mr.. w. and Mr.. Perry for the government.
the court everruled this motion, as also the
motion In arrest OF judgment, and notice Of
an appeal was flied. Judge James thereupon
imposed the sentence saying that IL 1t were
not for the defendants physical condition the
view OF that fact he would make the imprison-
ment thirty days In jail. with a fine of $1,000.
Mr.. Stanton asked that the execution Of the
sentence be delayed. that they might procure a
writ OF haheas corpus
The court remarked that there were cases
where sentence had been suspended, but those
were capital and penitentiary cases, and he saw
course Of the law.
Mr.. Stanton moved that defendant be admit
ted to bail pending appeal, but the court over
ruled this motion. and defendant excepted to
the ruling of the court.
THE JUDGE SENT TO JAIL
subsequently application was made to Chief
Judge Cartier advised that he go to jail first.
and make application to the General Term on
Monday.
Judge Wright, ON receiving this announce
ment. invited Marshal Douglass to accompany
him to jail, but Perry Carson was deputised,
and the judge, taking his seat in his own car-
rage. was driven to the Jail, where he arrived
about O'Clock. Gen. Croker, the warden, net
him, and Judge Wright asked if he could have
room and board for month.
Considerable sympathy is felt for Judge
Wright in this matter in consequence of his ad-
vanced age and broken health. and from the
fact that in the attack he made upon Delano
who is much younger man, he seems to haya
acted under the impulse of a strong sense of
personal wrong from what he believed to be
vlndictiye persecution by Delano. Judge
Wright took quite prominent part in TIE
troublOus times Of the early history of Kansas.
He has resided for some years in Washington
and though rather impulsive and free-spokS n. he
Is held in much esteem as kind hearted and
We'll disposed citizen.

The johnson Homicide.

In the Criminal Court, Judge James, yester-
day afternoon, John H. johnson, (Ehite,) who
killed Joseph johnson. (colored,) last Monday
night, was indicted for murder by the grand
jury yesterday, and was at once arra1gned. HIS
counsel, A. b. Williams, moved poStpOnement
of the arraignment urging that haste was IN
seemly in so grave case. The Indictment had
just been found, the counsel for the accused had
had no time to examine it, and the accused
before pleading to the Indictment wished to look
at and consider 1t. The court declined to defer
the arraignnent and when the Indictment was
read to johnson and he was asked the formal
question, Are you guilty or not guilty?" ,e
stood mute and refused to answer. The d.. {
thereupon ordered plea Of mot guilty" to be
entered, and the District attorney gave notice

HOW THIS PRACTICAL CHARITY Is ADMrNIST cred.
Mr.. A. S. Solomo1s, vice president Of the
Night Lodging House Association. has made
report to the District Commissioners from
which we gather that during the month of
March there have been $50 occupants of beds, to
whom l. 16 meals were furnished. Women and
children 35; Whites $685. colored, 50; able to read
ana Write, $40: unable, Is; married, is; unmar-
latter there were Irish Co. Germans, As; English,
4O Canadians 20; French, IS; Scotch, II; Welsh
I, Italians s; Danes, 6; other nationaltties, ~.
ically is as follows: Artists Z; blacksmfths, 80;
butchers, Is; bollermakers, :; clerks, Il; car
makers. I; engineers, 16; farmers "a; tremen, 10;
gardeners, Z; harnessmakers 2, hostlers s; iron.
workers, I; jewelers. 5; laborers, 1885, machinists,
painters, %; plasterers. IL: plumbers. q:
printers. II; pedlars.- !; railroad men, Is;
school teachers, 3; sailors, q; shoemakers, 90
teamsters, II; talors 3; telegraphers, l; ters
II, and weaverS, Is. Since the house has been
opened 23,34S persons have availed of the bene-
fits OF this practical and unobtrusive charity
and the amount OF absolute good it has done is
mcalculable. For the guidance OF the general
public 1t is proper to State that whenever a
stranger presents himself, and says he is with
out means to provide for a nights lodging, di-
rect him to the nearest police Station, Where, if
he be not known to the officer In charge as an
unworthy person, he will be given ticket OF
ADMISSION % Jhe lodging mouse, and upon it Is
given his description and sundry other data
which effectuallv prevents the holder from
transferring it to another. When he presents
this ticket at the house he is again Cooked over
and. as is sometimes the case he is found to be
beat" and warned accordingly, or arrested
under the vagrant law. If he Is all right, he is
given plentiful supper. compelled to take
mltory, is supplied with clean night shirt and
provided with comfortable, single bed, Ia a
WARM and well ventilated room, and in the
morning he is again given a hearty meal and
sent On his way rejoicing. By subjectiug poor
men to this treatment there is no excuse for
committing crime to exc out an existence and
there can be no doubt it has been an important
factor in saving many persons from the work
house and jail, and, perhaps, a subsequent life
OF degradation and misery.
