Lively Discussion Before the Pittsburh
Presbytery,

Lively Discussion Before the Pittsburb
rresbytery.
The most important discussion was
that of the report Of the committee, OF
which DIR. Wilson was chairman. on
complaint of member of Mt. Carmel
congregation that the session ofthat BODY
had refused to take action with regard
to the case Of a young man named
Richey. He was employed as telegraph
operator at Woodlawn station, or the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad, and
in the pursuit Of his business, is called
to the Office on the Sabbath day. The
session had reported to the committe
that they had conversation with Mr..
Richey, in which he stated that he had
given much time to learn the business,
and that he had to continue at it for sup.
port. They did not like to do ANYTHING
10 the case from the large question il
would open, and allowed It to 60 to the
Presbytery in hope that it would give
them decision in the matter. The com
mittee reported that they had decided to
send the case back TO the Session, as il
was proper subject for them to deal
with and not for the Presbytery. Mr..
X ed, one of the Session of the church
referred to. objected TO the action of the
committee, saying that the question had
cansed them so much trouble that thew
did not know what to do, and had re-
ferred IL to the Presbytery to find out.
Now he would ask. "Whst shall we doYn
Rev. Mr.. McKibben said the question
could not be settled by saying that they
believed in the fourth commandment.
but demanded statement of their posi-.
ton. Still he could hot see how the
Presby terry could deal. with only frag.
mentary evideoce in case of such inn.
portance. He thought that the trouble
was that Presbytery thcneht the Session
had no backbone, while the Session
thought Presbytery had no backbone.

MY PRINCESS.
NORA PER ny

NORA FERRY.
She walks beyond me fair and far
As yon fair ship beyond the bar
stands out 10 sea, or in DELAY,
At anchor rides day alter day.
Day after day before my eyes,
Just out Of reach, the while sails rise;
Just out Of reach, day amer day,
Like this she keeps and holds her way.
Who holds and sways my heart, until
Within my soul some tender thrill
Wakes into lite and forget
A moment then the gull that yet
Between us lies, the swelling sea
Tha. separates my love from me.

Her thus, yet ev'n thus dare not proclaim
To her before whom others knccl,
The throes OF passion that feel.
And yet-and yet, day after day.
She leads me on with looks that say
What speech denies. what smiles that prick
My armor through, though leaden thick,
The daughter OF regnant queen,
My princess fair doth she dcmean
Her high estate, stoop from her place,
To lure q victim by her grace?
Ev'n while this doubt assaileth mo,
Amidst the courtly throng sec.

Seems touched with some divine despair
look of human need aud loss
That like shadow fits across
The eyes whose smile but yesternight

Another moment, down the room
Her gay laugh rings. catch the bloom
Ofsudden roses on her cheek;
meet her glance; hear her speak
In testing words--the old light way
But down the room the harper play
Wild waltzes, with dying fall
In every note, plaintive call
OF passionate, entreating pain
lnwoven with each mirthful strain

The face touched with divine despair

The members of the Bexar Benevolent
Societv gave an Easter picnic last night al
the Springs. twas intended to have made
the entertainment moonlight picnic, but as
fair Luna hid her face the promoters had to
resort to artificial lights Only members and
their friends were admitted, and the party,
,hough somewhat numerous, was Of a select
and cordial character.
The music was furnished by Masini's Italian
band, and the dancing, which was kept up
with vigor and spirit, was excellent in char
acter. Many we'll known faces were there
and exhibited excellent dancing; but there
were two very young ladies-the Misses Nixon
who were so remarkably graceful and clever
as to deserve special commendaton.
A plentiful supply Of really good ice and
cake was served out about midnight and was
apparently we'll relished.
Dancing was kept up until two O'Clock,
when the whole party returned home in two
street cars which were chartered specially for
that purpose.
The entertainment gave general satisfaction,
and great credit is due to the managers,
Wessrs. A. Cohen, r. f. Bond l.. FORK, T.
F,;edeucks and C. II. Muench, for the able
and efficient arrangements made for the com
fort of the visitors.

tain "the house was on fire." Mr.. II. went
into his parlor and discovered one side OF the
room in flames, which he instantly proceeded
to extineuish; he then gave an alarm OF fre'
arousing the neighborhood. IT was found that
he incendiary had set the house on fire on
the outside, next to the bed room, and had
evidently planned the horror of roasting Mr.
Hart and his wife, The fire was put out, with
a damage of about SIS; but Mr.. Hart is en-
hrely broken up by the affair as he cannot I'M
apine who could have such spite against
him. The incendiary managed to obtain
entrance into the parlor and set fire to the
music books and curtains Of the room.

house, where he was working out INSIDE
meanor fine, and was convicted and sentenced
to i've years Imprisonment in the Penttentilry.

cuffs being too tight and they were therefore
eased. After the sentence was pronounced,
Deputy Sheriff Samuels was instructed to take
the prisoner to jail and he did SO. the prisoner
being apparently securely handcufed. When
near the Alamo ice factory, close to the jail,
Valdez jerked from the deputy sheriff, hitting

escaped. Samuels cried loudly for assistance,
but ii came too late, and the prisoner is still al
large. Mr. Samuels is rot much hurt.

Communication From Mr.. Guergin.

Editor EVENING LIGHT:
There appears in this mornings Express an
article calculated to injure me among persons
not acquainted with me. 1t is true, Mr.. Tom
Hughes did deposit at my establishment a
banjo. 1t Is also true that Mr. A. CheValer
called with experts to see the banjo, and
showed to Mr.. Chevatier and experts the ldent-
cal banjo which was deposited with me, and
no other. certainly have never tried TO play
sharp tricks" in attempting to shield any
thief from paying the penalty of his crime, but
on the contrary, the officers of the law can all.
both city and county, testify to the fact that
have on all occasions rendered every assist
ance in my power to assist them IN bringing TO
iustc. all classes of offenders against the law.
The assertions made in regard To me are false
and without the -lightest foundation; in fact,
newspapers should be careful in publishing
statements prejudicial to the acts OF a citizen,
and remember that to man OF honor his repu-
tation is AS dear as his life.
