A JOYFUL NEE TING.
A Long Tramp for a LOng-LOst
Son.


San Antonio Express.
From Mr.. Robert G. Symington
Superintendent OF the Bexar County
Manual Labor Poorhouse, we have
just learned of a fathers long tramp
tor long lost but dearly loved soa.
Stephen Phillips, of Terre Haute,
Indiana, appeared in this city last
week, having walked all the way from
that city to San Antonio in search of
Ira ID. Phillips, son, whom he has
not seen for thirteen years. Knowing
that he was somewhere in the limits
OF the great State of Texas, the old
gentleman set out on foot, determined
to hnd the boy if he died in the at
tempt.
On arriving here Mr.. Phillips
learned, through Mr.. Patrick King, a
clerk at government headquarters,
that Ira d. Phillips had been dis
charged from the regular army at this
post, but that was all. No trace could
be found to lead to his recovery. Dur
ing the meantime the father became
sick, and not having means 10 get
proper attention was sent to the county
poOrhouse Last Friday friends who
were interested, by diligent inquiries
learned that the son, Ira D. Phillips,
was engaged in business at Laredo,
Texas. They informed him of his
fathers arrival here and his situation.
The son came by train Immediately.
arriving here Sunday night. Mr.. Sy.
mington, who was present at the meet
ing, says it was one of the most joyful
occasions he ever had the pleasure Of
witnessing in his life. A fond father
has thus been rewarded for a weary
some, footsore search for a son who
had been absent from the paternal
roof thirteen years, 1t was a more
than heroic act, aud one very few
fathers would engage to undertake.

AfIer Ross NInrIerera.

CINCINNATI, October 9.-Most ac
tive work is being done by the police
under the stimulus of heavy reward
offered for the arrest of the murderer
or murderers of A. W. Ross, at Glen
dale. The most generally accepted
theory is that the murder was done by
persons who knew Mr.. Ross habit Of
coming home by the late train on Sat.
day night, and that he was accus-
toned to alight from the train at the
crossing near his home instead ofrid-
ing on to the depot. His body was
found within 150 feet of the railroad
showing that he was attacked
Immediately after leaving the train
He was struck both from behind
and in front. He had in his hand a
small revolver, which he had never
began to carry until two weeks ago
Itwas uncocked and all the chambers
full, showing he was attacked unaware.
The robbery was done SO hastily and
inoompletely as to show that the work
was not done by professionals. No
weapon was found with which il was
thought the murder was done. The
wounds indicate an iron red or bar
There will be meeting of the village
Council to night to offer a reward for
the arrest Of the murderers.

Second Parish Society.

A meeting of the members of the Second
Parish was held last evening to take action
upon the resignation of Rev. Mr. Dickinson.
Mr.. j. f. Lscomb was chosen moderator. The
pastors letter of resignation was read, and it
was voted to concur with the church in accept
ing it. The following resolutions were then
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Rev Chas A. Dickinson, our
beloved pastor, has decided from force of rea-
sons, which are imperative TO him, to relin-
qush the paStorate of this society, which he
has filled with SO much ability and profit to all
our interests for more than three years past, to
accept charge of the Kirk street parish in
Lowell, Mass; therefore,
ReSoL0ed, That we hereby place upon our
records, that which is indelibly written upon
all eur hearts, our high esteem and apprecia-
ton of his character as minister and friend.
our unwilling and regretful release of his min
istrations among us, and our unfailing FRIEND
ship and interest in his future wherever he
may be called to labor.
ReSolUed, That in ing his resignation we
recognize force of circumstances and reasons
which overpower all that we could set against
them, and compel us to acquiesce, although the
separation calls for sundering of ties, person
al and parochial, of more than common
strength and intimacy between pastor and peo-
pie.
Resol0ed, That we recognize in Mr.. Dickin-
sons personal worth and faithfulness, in his
persevering and untiring efforts in every de-
psrtment of pastoral work, in his earnest and
effective labors with the young, in his success
full promotion of peace, harmony and good
will, in the high aim and earnest character of
his pulpit ministrations, and in the conspicu-
GUS example of Christian manhood which he
has presented to this community, those high
qualities of heart and head which mark the
faithful minister, the conscientious teacher,
the humble disciple and true friend.
Resolved, That we hereby tender to Mr..
Dickinson our earnest and heartfelt wishes for
his continued success in his new field of labor,
our deep sympstl Y in his painful separation
from the people HON he has loved and who
have loved and ST | continue to love him, and
our sincere hope and trust that advancing
years will crown with fulness of fruitfulness
and reward service whose early years have
been so sgnally successful.
1t was voted that a copy of the above resolu-
tions be sent to Rev. Mr.. Dickinson, and Mr..
Jas. W. Stevenson and DR.. H. P. Merrill were
appointed committee to bear the action Of
the parish to the ecclesiastical council which is
to be held this afternoon at 8 o'clock to advise
upon the subject of Mr.. Dickinson's dismissal.

375 Fore street, observed young woman act
ing in suspicious manner about some cloth

trousers, broke the string by which they were
suspended and hastily concealing them under
her shawl started on the run, pursued by Mr..
Dyer, who cried stop thief" Justify. AS ne
