Thanksgiving evening, and il proved d most
successful and pleasant affair. All arrange

music by Prot. Walkers string band par ex-
cellence. The attendance was large, the hall
being comfortably filled, and all enioyed
themselves to the fullest extent Supper was
served BY Geo. ". Bullet & Co., the popular
Main street caterers. The fact that the
merry dancers remained until three o'clock
and then Werel 10th to leave is evidence strong
as needed that the first entertainment OF the

| stand and was cross examined very closely
and at great length by DAvldge.
GuIteau Interrupted him at the very out
set aud protested that there was no truth in
the story OF the witness. The witness was
being questioned in regard to the fight be-
tween Huiteau and his father. He had q
geo tsmemory and could rene nber most
everything, out did not reccollect any SUCH
ecene
Just as the witness was released from the
stand, Guiteau improved the momentary lull
to make the first speech of the day.
Il noticed my friend Henry Ward Beech
er is doing some cranky work on this case.
used to attend his church and prayer meet
ings and il your honor knew him as well as
do, you would not pay any attention to
him. There are good many people who
think he is badly cracked socially, and have
no doubt that Mrs. IiltoD told the truth and
that he lied about it, and Id tell him SO pub
licly'
',Oh, well. well, prisoner tnat will do for
you" said Davidge. Guiteau WAS apparently
satisfied, and nodded with smile, saying,
<'That's all right, Judge. I have lad NV
say on Beecher I am satisfied
Gen. John A Logan then took the stand
and was asked.
Do you know the prisoner; 'sOh, yes; Of
course you do, General" broke in Guiteau.
You know me very well. I'm very
happy to meet you again
The witness said he had been frequently
besieged by Guiteau to endorse his applica-
cation for Office but he had invaribly de-
clined for the reason that the prisoner did
not seem to be such a man as he would care
to recommend for any office. He had never
known him in Chicago. The first time he
(the witness) ever saw him was when he
(Guiteau) called upon him to secure his en-
dorsement. The general impression he had
formed Of Guteau was that there was some
thing wrong about his mental arrangements.

THE STOCK Ha EN-
Two Meetings Held I'm Benton E4asGWeek
and tine Business Transacted.

THE STOCK PROTECTIVE AsSO CITATION.
The executive committee of the Stock Pro-
tective Association held meeting in this
city on Friday evening last Owing to the
fact that many of the members live ct a long
distance from Benton the attendance was not
very large, but the number was sufficient for
the transaction Of business
In the absence Of President J. s. Hill Mr..
J. D. Weatherwax, Vice President, presided.
The real object Of the meeting was to hear
Mr.. Healy g report Of services rendered, and
to audit al accounts due by the association.
But Mr. Healy was no, present, nor repre-
sented by anyone and the object for which
the committee WAS cailed together was trust
rated. Mr. Ira Meyers and other members
who came - long distance at considerable ex-
pense to attend the meeting were not a little
disappointed by the fact that their journey
was vain one.
The Sun River association was represent
ed by Ira Meyers and on his motion, at the
instance of said association, it was resolved
that the operations of MIR. Healy in behalf Of
L
ed until further action is had by the executive
committee The resolution was unanimous
ly adopted.
1t must not be understood that the Protect
i've Association has disbanded or anything of
that kind under the resolution nothing is
contemplated except to curb Mr.. Healy for
the present and until further orders. A great
deal of informal talk was indulged IN by the
members present, but no further business
was transacted.

On Saturday meeting Of the Shonkin dis
trict association was held, Vice President

Pastor Johnson's Sermon.

1t is a sad truth that people arc apt to
give to the church what they can spare as
well as not, and then regard themselves rs
very liberal. There are still others who
too closely resemble the little girl who told
her mother that the contribution-box was
passed to her and there was lots of money
in it, but she didn't take any out, expect
ing to be praised for her self.denial. This
is negative kind Of Christianity, which
does little credit to the worshiper Rev.
Plato johnson seems to have met this crisis
in recent sermon, and though his Ian
guage is not particularly choice, his ideas
are very clear. He said, at tho conclusion
of an eloquent sermon, "Brederen. do plate
will now pass aroun,' an has word to
say on de- portant subject ov givin'. De
people wat puts bono buttons and lead
nickles inter dc plate may pass for orful
free givers 'mongst der fellow-sinners but
dey can't cheat dc Lord. want to press
on your minds dat fact-dey can't cheat dc
Lord. When dc Lord said He liked q
cheerful giver, He didn't hab his eyes on
dat sort OBJ trash You can put dis down
as q sartin shore things, bredercn, dat dose
wat gibs do chu'ch wat dey has no use fui
themselves won't git no free pass into
glory. In do day OBJ Judgment de Lord will
say to sch men, Il don't know you bone
button fellers; go sit on dc back seats
quick Now, den, pass de plates"

A Strange Marriage Ceremony De-
clared u Nullity.

Baltimore Sun, Nov II.
Judge Dobbin, in the City Circuit Court
yesterday, passed final decree in the case
of Kate Deering against VIM. Peddicord.
The bill in the case was filed by John Gill,
ir., and David Stewart, attorneys, to have
what was claimed as q marriage ceremony
declared nullity. 1t is stated in the bill
that Kate Decring is 90 years old and a res
ident of Baltimore city, and that she was
never married to Pcddicord, although he
claims that she was married to him on July
7, 1878, at No. 239 Lanvale street. by Rev.
Joseph III. Barclay. She further alleges
that she resided with her parents ut Elk
ridge Landing, Howard County, in 1873 or
1874, where Peddicord came to board, and
that her mother greatly favored marriage
between her and Peddicord. In October,
1876, she left home and came to Baltimore
city, where she was employed in the store
of ID. j. Goldenberg, on North Howard
street. In July, 1873, she visited her mother
and was again imp0rtuned to marry Peddi-
cord, but firmly declined to do so. On
the Sd Of July, as she is now informed, but
did not then know Peddicord had obtained
a marriage license. To crafty her mother
she visited the city with him on July Z,
1873, to see his sister and also to visit the
park. They walked from Camden Station
to No. 230 Lanvale street, next door to the
First Lutheran Church, where Peddicord
said his sister lived, but where Rev. Joseph
III. Barclay really lives. The door was
opened by man in his shirt sleeves and
they entered the parlor. There was some
conversation the purport Of which she
does not remember, as she was so worried
and excited at the time, but which she GER
tainly did not understand TO be q marriage
ceremony. There was no ring produced
and she did not consent to be the wife of
Peddicord. When they left, Peddicord, to
her utmost amazement, asked her if she
knew she had been married to him.
She was greatly outraged at the state
ment and went to her sisters house on
Druid Hill avenue, and although impor.
tuned by her mother to do so, would never
after recognize Pcddicord as her husband or
| live with him. Rev. Mr.. Barclay testified
that he had no recollection of performing
any such marriage ceremony as was
claimed, and that it was absurd to suppose
that he would perform marriage cere-
mony in his shirt sleeves. Judge Dobbin,
in his opinion and decree, says: "The
court being of the opinion that no ceremony
of marriage, actual or simulated, ever was
performed between the complainant and
defendant, can only now dismiss this bill,
but tins dismissal is intended to have as
| full force and effect as if some pretended
ceremony had been proved and been by the
court declared to be nullity. 1t is, there
fore decrced that the bill of complaint be
dismissed and that the complainant paw the
| costs of the suitn

President Gariieid's Mistake.

Kansas City Journal.
The greatest mistake made by the late
President Garfield was in the selection Of
Wayne MacYeagh as one of his Cabinet.
He never had any political standing in
Pennsylvania, except what he attained by
reason of his wealth. He thrust himself
forward on several occasions--a self.con-
stituted "reformer"-and once tried in the
harness of practical craftsmanship he has
proved the most complete failure that has
appeared in the field of American politics
for many years. Ever since the first Cab.
met meeting he has been nothing but u
chronic grumbler. President Arthur can
not dismiss him too soon for the good of the
country

COMMISSIONER RAUM," says the n. o.
Democrat, " in his late report recommends
the abolition of the internal revenue stamp
tax, as far as its use on bank checks is con.
cerned but at the same time says nothing
about freeing matches and numerous other
articles of prime necessity, where the tax
falls principally upon the poor man. As a
generally thing those who are able to draw
bank checks are well able to pay for the
stamps used; while the revenue of the
Government from this source alone is over
$6,000O00 annually. There are several
internal taxes which are particularly
onerous to the poor, aud from which singly
no very large revenue is derived, although
in the aggregate they bring largo annual
sum TO the Government"
1t might seem TO a man up tree that the
poor are entitled to standing in court
when it comes to knockingithe taxes off.
Somehow we always fail to see the aforesaid
poor man reap the actual benefits intended
by legislation in his interest. Not long
since the tobacco tax was reduced 33i
per cent, but if any consumer of the weed
can show that he pays less for it now or
gets more for his money, he can step up
and claim the prize

NOTHING IS so OFFENSIVE to the delicate
nerves of Guteau as any intimation that
he swears. Without doing any violence to

of his nonsense in that way. In some

to swear little as to kill great deal

No LAWYERS ueaven.

The Boston Journal of Education says
that just before his death the son of late
prominent lawyer, Mr.. Durant, of that
city. put his arms around his fathers neck
and said "Father, am going to die; /
am going to heaven and want you to
meet me there" After this, adds the Bos-
ton paper, "Mr. Durant never tried a case
again" This Is hard thing to say about
lawyers, and tho fact that the Boston paper
