Fraync Did Not Shoot.
Wilmington Reuicw.


The shooting Of Miss Won Dehren reminds
us of an incident which occurred in this city
during Frank Fraynes rendition of the play
of "Si Slocum" three seasons ago. While Mr.
Frayne was on the stage, and about to show
his skill as a marksman, the gas meter in the
opera house got out of fix, and the lights went
out all over the house. Lamps and candles
were soon brought in, and the performance
was continued under the dim and uncertain
flicker of tallow dips and smoking petroleum
oil. Lucy SlOcum was brought ON the stage
and blindfolded, an apple was placed on her
head, and one of the actors held candle close
to the apple in order that the marksman could
see it. He was about to execute his backward
shot, but was nervous and excited, and the
blindfolded girl stood trembling with fear lest
the lcaden missile should go crashing through
her brain. As soon rs the audience took in
the situation, Il gentleman halloocd "Don't
shoot" and the cry of Don't shoot, don't
shoot" rang through the house. The girl
snatched the bandage from Off her eyes, say
ing, "My God, Frank, don't do it,"

A Lively Row Among Members OF n Col
orcd PEOPLES Church.

LEE, MASS, Dec. 1.-THE trouble be-
tween the pastor. and the people of
the Colored Methodist church here,
nearly resulted in a riot yesterday. Last
week it was decided by the court that
Rev. NJ. Acllworth, who was sent here by the
New England conference, was entitled to the
pulpit but trustee by the name of Freeman
determined that hckworth should not oilici-
ate and Sunday he locked and barred the
door of the church. Ackworth, with some of
his followers, smashed in u window, and was
assaulted by Freeman, who was inside, and
who struck Ackworth violently in the
face. The Freeman party was finally worsted,
but before Acl1worth gained possession a
lively row occurred, in which revolvers were
drawn. and in which Mr. Ackworth was
knocked down. He held services in the
evening and was undisturbcd. Tho subject of
his sermon was "Victory." Both parties
have applied for warrants, but Judge Pcase
declines to Interfere. He says Ackworth has
a right to the pulpit, and that the people dc
not like him they are not obliged to attend
the services but that they cannot lock the
door against him.

The Presidents Good Traits Iten,izeti.
PHILADELPHIA Sunday lem


1t is encouraging to think that broad
and strong spirit of patriotism is again ami
mating the republican party, particularly in
New York and Pennsylvania. The admirable
course of the President inspires respect and
confidence. The people have noticed his wise
conservatsm-his segacious public policy
his patience and silence under unjust criti-
csm-his broad and patriotic vicws-his
high sense of duty-his courage in declaring
his convictions-his intrepid stand against
extravaganza and folly-his modcsty and
manliness-his forbearance under great PROV
ocation-the people, we say, have noticed
these things, and they are learning the lesson
soon to be repeated in concert with enthusi-
asm-of Well done, good and faithful SER
want"
II is seen that Mr.. Arthur is trying to be
the president Of the whole people. and not the
head of clique or faction. Under serious
difficulties he has borne himself with the
high self-respect of gentleman, and the de-
meanor of faithful servant.
But yesterday he was assailed acrimoni-
ously by wing of his own party, to whom he
had never given otlense, and by the guerillas
Of the press. To-day, cavil is dumb, and a
sense of justice prevails. All this is signif-
cant and hopeful. 1t looks to reparation-to
.justicd-to the nomination and election of Mr..
Arthur to the presidency. The recent signs
in New York and in Pennsylvania point to
this auspicious event.

THE sHoRN GLANDS"
How the Poor Victims Were F1ccccd by
the Recent oil Panic.
SDecidL 10 The piYsliiT1 DisDdtch

Special TO TIC Pihsburg Dispatch.
OIL CITY, Pa, Dec S.-Said n prominent
broker the other day: at is n hard matter to
get the lambs into the fold for another shear
ing, for most of them are afraid that ifthoy do
do come back they will only get shOrn again."
This is one of the principal ailments of the
market since the panic. The trading has
principally been among the professional deal
erS in oil. Outsiders have seen that Il market
does not of necessity depend for its course in
the situation of affairs. Still they will likely
wander slowly back again or new ones take
their places. The same scenes can hardly be
rc-enacted for II long time TO come, but other
scenes of the same nature and less intensity
will be.
This long afterward, whom the hcaving
waters have been quicted, the details of the
terrible effects of the panicarc coming to light.
The cases of Cashier Gilbert of Buffalo !;
Mcssrs Potter and Manners, of Olean Rich
ardson and Bolivar, and the Pittsield maniac
have come before the public, but there are
doubtless many defalCations disgracefu fights,
and narrowing ruin yet to be made known.
The victims were so numerous and of such
variety that we find them everywhere, in
every walk of life. A very sad case has been
whispered about of Venango county shop
girl who invested 5000, the fruits of years of
toll, and in desperate endeavOr to save it
embezzled twice as much of her employers
funds, and sunk that also. Her name is
withheld but she is reported to have fed
to an evil life in an Ohio city, and her
former employer refuses to follow her to
prosecute her. All over Clarion county there
is a pail of black despair dozens of poor fell
lows, principally young men, having risked
their>all and lost, as on the turn of q die. A
| young man by the name of Meyer at Eden
burg, mOrtgaged his house to its full value for
money to margin oil, adding to this sum the
earnings of several years of labor 1t was all
swept away in moment prominent law
yer and a banker Of that county are still the
possessors of a quarter of million barrels,
which they bought at $1.20 and had to margin
down to seventy-fve cents. They are able to
ho.d on, and will likely come out with whole
skins.
of course, there is no question but that the
methods applied to create the panic were ne.
farious in the extreme, but justice compels the
statement that the men who conspired to bring
the market low had no realizing SENSE of the
| terrible results that would follow, and ALSO il
the innOcents had not been on the market
with narrow margins they could not have been
| slaughtered

hibition is in the city, endeavoring to secure a
congressional appropriation in behalf of
American exhibitors to that exhibition, :,
which will open in Amsterdam on May next.
He has seen several cabinet officers and many
members of congress, most of whom look with
favor on the project At out centennial ex-
position Holland appropriated $4,000 for the
exhibit which she sent over, and it is deemed
the proper thing for this government to now
reciprocate especially as our trade with the
