CLEVELAND, September 2s.-The Rev.
DR.. Hinkle, rector Of Grace Episcopal
Church in this city, is again iu trouble.
He is a short man with fondness for to.
bacco, base ball aud Romanism. 1t WIS
only recently that he attempted to estab'
lish confessional in his church, but was
rebnked by his parishoners. Lately II was
learned that he crosses himself in mount
ing his pulpit. His latest freak was the
taking for his text the stigmata Of St Fran
cis. The stigmata OF St. Francis, as Mr..
Hinkle explained them, were the scars OF
the nails in his bands and feet and wourd
in the side. There is q Roman Catholic
legend in the life OF this saint to the effect
that TIVE years before the death OF st.
Francis, while be WIS living the life Of
u recluse, his time being occupied in fast
ing and prayer and meditating on the
Blessed Sacrament, these marks came upon
him Mr.. Hinkle mentioned this case,
stating it as though he thoroughly believed
1t. A prominent member OF the church
said to-day. at Is not pretty long step
toward Rome, when Protestant minister
has to take Papist legend 10 get moral
Lesson. He has done 80 much reading In
these Rlmish books that he thinks these
fables are genuine and breaches from
them" The Raw. DR.. Hinkle paid yester-

WASHINGTON, September 2S-A curious
ius,ance Of the relative valne OF local time
at each Of Two distant points Of longitude
was developed here recently. The deaths
OF two naval officers were announced to
the Navy Department, Paymaster Zachary
I. Brown died ut the Pensacola Navy-yard,
the victim OF yellow fever, and Lieutenant
BOnlelle Noves died on board the frigate
Richmond, hlg.ship Of the Asiatic feet, at
Yokohama, by accident. The cable dis.
patch from ReaI-Admiral Crosby announc-
ing Noyes's death was dated August 90, and
stated that the officer WAS killed at 10 A. NJ.
this morning. the announcement Of Pay.
master Browns death WIS dated August
20, aud stated that he "died at 7:S0 last
evening"" The question was raised here:
(which died frs,?' Both officers were men-
bsrs Of the Navy Mutual Aid As.
sociation. The rule Of the Associa.
ton is that, on the death of a mem.
Der each of the surviving members
shall pay in a certain amount, which
90 10 make up the "beneftn for the fam.
lily OF the dead member. Each member
pays in yearly fixed amount, which is
held by the Trustees,so that on death the
assessments can be made at once and The
officer credited with the sum taken. In
this case it necessary to determine whether
Lient. Noyes fees should pay an assessment
to Paymas,er Browns family or Browns 10
the former. The officers 0t the Naval OBJ
servatory were called upon, and after com.
prt ny the diff renee Of local time between
the Pensacola Navy Yard and Yokohama,
found that while Lieutenant Noyes was
killed at 10A. NJ AMI Paymaster Brown at
7:30 =. NJ. OF August %, Brown had in fact,
died nearly a day earlier than Noyes. Per.
sons familiar with mathematics as applied
to time measurement and TO navigation
will understand this seeming paradox. Ad.
miral Crosby dispatch, referred to, was re-
ceiyed here before 10 A. NJ. OF the 2S. &C.

A WORD Of warning to the Republican
yoters Of Ohio. 1t will not do to be too
sauguine OF victory, owing to the dissen-
sions Of the Democratic party in certain
pOpulous sections Of the State, and argue
that your Individual vote will not be
missed in thegrand total. The Democratic
party is moving every stone to win. Out
side influences and persuasions are factors
in the fight, as the result in Ohio bears
somewhat on the coming national struggle.
Further, while peace has not been
patched up between Mclean and Pendle-
ton, still by some unknown power Gentle
man George has been forced into the cam.
plign, and Is announced to speak for the
unp Legislative ticket OF Hamilton
county. After long silence Thurman has
been made to open his mouth in the last
hours Of the contest. These signs, while
not alarming, should serve to put every
Republican on his guard. With full Re-
publican vote there is no danger that Ohio
will do anything but her duty; listlessnesa
and feeling Of too great security may re-
suit otherwise.

IMPORTANT JUDICIAL DECISION.
The Vice Chancellor OF New JerIey or
R.sponsIbIlIty of EmpIoyes.

TBeSToN, N. j., September 2S.-An i'm
porta ant opinion filed by Vice Chancellor
Bird here yesterday, establishes legal
principle in regard to the responsibility oi
subordinate officers and employees In
banks and mercantile business. It decides
in favor Of the plaintiff in the suit Of Mary
Dovell vs. Garret A. Hobart, Receiver OF
the First National Bank Of Newark, which
was brought to restore the property which
Mrs.l Doyell had placed in the hands
Of the directors Of the bank at the time OF
the discovery Of entertainments Of It's funds
as security for any loss which might have
been. caused through acts OF her son,
of the institution. The property con.
sisted Of all her real estate in
Newark, together with bonds and securities
aggregating 100000. The investigation Of
the banks troubles in the United States
Court exonerated Dovell, and James A.
Hedden, the cashier, was convicted and
sent 10 State Prison for seven years for EN-.
bezzlement Of the banks funds. It was
proved that Hedden, who occupied a higher
position than Doyell, directed false entries
to be made, and on information furnished
by DoVell deficiency OF $95 S27 was dis
cevered In the accounts. When Hobart
was, appointed receiver demand was
made on him to return Mrs. Dovell her
property. He refused on the ground "that
Dovell, being teller, knew OF Hedden's
guilt and concealed It at first, also that Do.
veil allowed himselfto be used by Hedden
in altering the accounts, and be was, there
fore, liable with Hedden for the amount OF
the deialcatiou, although not guilty Of NAL.
feasance. Dovell obeyed the commands Of
Hedden, such being criminal" The Vice
Chancellor holds that while Dovell was
morally Obliged TO expose Htdien's doings,
yet Mrs Doyell was not surety for mere
moral delinquency. The burden oil proof
is upon the receiver to show Doyell's liabil-
ity, and he has failed to do so. Not a dol
lar OF the funds was traced to Doyell's
hands. There is no proof against him, and
when there is such abundant proof against
another the Court cannot force conclusions
as 10 the teller in order to reach the proper
ty Of his mother. She knew nothing oil the
crime, and only pledged her property to
secure the bank against her sons default,
and she cannot be held for the default OF
others OF which she had no knowledge and
which was no part Of the contract. She is
entitled 10 reconveyance OF all the prop
erty and whatever revenue has been re.
ceived from 1t while out of her hands. A
decree to that effect WAS issued.

ALLEN 0. MYERS, a Democratic politician
oil dubious methods and vituperative
tongue, has distinguished himself at
Columbus,by makingone Of the silliest and
most pOintless speeches in the Ohio cam.
palgn. 1t was feared for "a while that Judge
HOadly would have TO be muxled by the
committee, but illness prevented an appli.
cation Of the committees prescription. Mr..
Myers, however, is running his own cam
llign for his own ends and his personal
glory. In this there Is an apparent differ
eHee, but 1t does not excuse the pseudo
journalist for misstating facts, warping
truth and indulging in the vilest abuse OF
hisopponents. In bis tirade-it cannot be
dgniGed by the title Of speech-this Ohio
patriotic spread the startling information
that Jefferson Davis was the person who
freed The negro and not Abraham Lincoln
orihs Republican party. This statement,
which, Of course, is the merest bosh and
and utterance Of crank, had boomerang
etFtCt, and besides disgusting the intelligent
members Of his own party has arrayed tie
whole cOlored population Of franklin
county against him.
Ills vulgar attack on Governor Foster,
anStack without the shadow Of proof, was
a part aud parcel Of the rest OF his
hArangue that cannot even be compared
with the Sand Lot oratory OF D mia
kearney. This is the sort Of man whom
HOaiIyis fond to call my young friend
MyeF," and who at the time Of the Re
publican Congressional Convention at St.
Cairsvile, o., in the summer Of 1882, after
writing a dirty screed about certain Bellaire
gentlemen 10 his paper, had not the man.
hood 10 face the consequences OF the pub
lication, but inContinently fled the night
before TO escape the sure and deserved
chAstisement that was in store for him.
Nr, Myers had better 90 back to j,urnal-
ism. He shines like mud in that particular
field, which il much brighter than Ills
sctntlllations as an active politician.

he charged Mr.. and Mrs. Molinsky with

anger, denied 1t. Before Zlpish left he
threateningly shook his index finger at
Molinsky and said that he would have

said that the laws OF America fined the
thief $50 and put him in the penitentiary
for several years.
Totally ignorant Of American laws and
firmly believing that a terrible fate awaited

WASHINGTON, September 2s.-Among
the recent applicants for the position Of
Supervising Architect Of the Treasury are
J.O. johnson, Of Fremont, o.; W. R. Silof,
OF Chicago, and John W. G. Lem, Of New
Orleans. Secretary Folger has not yet de.
cided upon candidate, and probably will
not try to do so for some time, as the rou-
tine work Of the office occupies all his time
in the absence Of his assistants. The work
Of signing papers alone Is in itself enough
to occupy the time OF one man, and, as the
Secretary dsvotes two hours each day to
receiving all who may call, 1t Is often inr
into the night before his duties are finished.
The strain upon his nervous system Is very
severe, and his friends fear that he will not
be able to stand the pressure unless Mr..
New or Judge French soon returns to re-
liave him,
