The "salya,lon Army of Baltimore seems
TO have gotten Into owl repute through inc
bad actions OF some OF It's members. oharies
Woods, alias "Happy Charley" OF the Army ls
held for n hearing at the Southern police sta
ton In that city on charge made by tho
husband OF lady living on Hill street, near
the salvation barracks, accusing him OF gross
behavior from window OF tho church on Sat
urday. The accused denies the charge.
When taken to the station.house "Happy
Charley " had on citizcn's dress instead OF the
uniform OF tho salvation Army. ffe Is about
90 years old, and hns been IN Baltimore about
n month, having come from Paterson, n.
j. lie playe n banjo at the meetings, aud OBJ.
tained his tito from habit OF constantly
smiling and looking happy when playing on
that instrument. His arrest created quito
sensation In the ranks Of the Army. Inofrect
ual efforts were made to have him released
Last night the Rev. Charles McElfresh, pas
tor OF the soamans Bethel, Allceauna street,
Baltimore, read the report OF the committee
who were appointed TO Investigate charges
against Charles Bentley, an independent OK
horter, formerly Of the salvation Army. THO
investigation was IN accordance with the rules
Of the church. Mr.. Bentley had appeared pc pe.
fore the committee and pleaded guilty. HIS
statement was substantially what has already
appeared In print, and In no way did he desire
10 shirk responsibility. He denied that the
cause OF his fall could be attributed solely
20 the woman, but said II was mutual
on the part OF both. 10 expressed con-
triton, and In return the investigating
body expressed It's regrets, which was
the more palpable because OF the position no
had occupied IN the advancement OF religion.
Kind advice was offered, but the discipline OF
the Church was enforced by deciding upon his
expulsion, which duty Rev. Mr.. McElfresh
publicly performed last night. AZ the same
time the committee drafted the following reso'
luton, which was read at the expulsion; re-
SOired, That In view of Charles Bentleys
former good character and the fact that he did
not live In criminal Intimacy after his fall by
holding meetings; and further, in view ofhis
uneqtilvocal confession and straightforward
statement and deep humility and general ro.
pcntancc that at q suitable time, with tho
continued evidence OF scrlptural repentance,
tho arms OF the Church like tho arms OF
the merclful God, would be opened to receive
him on probation again." very large num-
Der OF persons were present, many drawn
there through curiosity. Rev. Mr.. McElfresh
made no comments upon the expulsion. A
petition for divorced vinculum matrimonil was
filed In the City Circuit Court on the Both
ultimo by Samuel Hissey against Alice Hisscy,
his wife. Tho divorce is asked on the ground
OF adultery with Charles Bentley, but no final
action has yet been taken by the court as
Judge Dobbin has been out OF town. Upon the
granting of the divorce, Bentley, II is said,
Will marry tho defendant.

The Lower Cedar Point Excursion.

The rain yesterday did not deter 300 pleas-
ure-seexers from taking passage on board the
elegant steamer Jane Moseley for Lower Cedar
Point. The announcement that with yester-
day would close the season OF delightful and
successful excursions to the Point brought
sadness TO many hearts, for 1t was firmly be-
lieyed that Commodore Bowers would continue
these trips for two weeks yet. The ladies out
numbered the gentlemen, and they did not
appear to fear the elements one bit, for, upon
arriving at the Point, nearly every one re-
paired TO the scene OF the oyster roast with
plate and fork IN hand and enjoyed frst.class
feast. Everything went OF smoothly, and
there never was moro thoroughly satisfied
crowd got together anywhere.
Mr.. Bowers has clearly demonstrated by his
management OF Lower Cedar Point the past
summer his eminent ability TO conduct place
of this kind as 1t ought TO be conducted, and
1t is to be hoped that he WILL II the weather
continues good, give one or two more excursions
before the cool spell is upon us.
