4 Mastery Elucidation of Presbyterian
ism, Yesterday.
Yesterday, DR.. Harris preached mis-
fourth consecutive sermon in the First Pres

highly cultivated audience, composed of the
First and Second Presbyterian Churches,

Among his many bold and successful ad-

Of the present day, none in

following: "a man saved once, is saved at
the time of his conversion, and not at the
time of his death, or after he has entered
heaven. His final salvation begins with
the date of his conversion, and at no other
period in his history" He offered as an
illustration Of this view, the instance of a
man falling over board in mid-ocean, and

vention of friends He said: "Did this

The West virginia Postmaster Arrested {
-. "a :. !He Asserts His Innocencs.
Several sensational dispatches, dated at
Wheeling. have been sen: to the, metropoli-
tan press in relation to the absconding OF
A. r. johnson, postmaster at Grantsville,
in Calhoun county, with postoffice funds and
a young lady named Mollie Gainey. On
Saturday evening, man giving that name
presented himself at the CoviRgton post
Office and asked for some deposit blanks,
The postmaster had read the dispatch and
when he heard the name had johnson ar
rested and jailed in COvidgton.
Johnson is q young man, and does not
have the appearance of thief When all
Enquirer reporter showed him the dispatch
in relation to himself, he admitted that
some Of the allegations were true. He said
he was Postmaster at Grantsville, West
Virginia, and was behind on two quarterly
statements about $l22O, but did not think
he was behind On any of the rest He
claims that he was willing to settle them,
and he would not have been in arrears had
he not made a miscalculation
He says that he made an assignment to
his father, who was a heavy indorser on his
paper. He claims that the assignment was
forced, as the men to whom he owed about
$500 on notes had sued him, and he made
the assignment TO protect his father and his
other creditors. He claims that his liabili-
lies will not exceed $500, and if the assets
realize their value, and his outstanding &C
counts can be collected, he will pay out. He
claims that he had TO intention of defraud
ing ANYBODY, and when he left he came di'
rect to Cincinnati and put up at the Craw-
lord House, where he registered his right
name.
He remained at this house for day or
two, and then went to private boarding
house at l60 Barr street He claims tina,
he did not elope with his wife, but that he
married her in Grantsville, and obtained
the consent of her parents. The reason
that he LETT Virginia was he had always
been well of, had lived comfortably, and
could not face his friends after he had met
with financial reverses. His principal
creditors are in Baltimore.
Mrs. johnson, bride OF one week, was
found in boarding house at 100 Barr
street, weeping bitter tears and pleading
with Deputy United States Marshal A. II.
Parker, of Covington, to take her to see her
husband. She was finally persuaded to re-
main at home until this morning. She
said between her sobs, that she had known
Johnston for long time, and was married
70 him one week ago, and knew nothing
whatever about his financial troubles. His
father, she said, is wel-to-do citizen Of
Grantsyille. "Oh," said she in conclusion
"had known this | never would have con.
scented for my husband to move here.

BOAT RACE ECHOES.
Some of the Opinions Here and at BellairS
On the Decision.

Some of the Opinions Here and at BellairS
On the Decision.
There was great deal of talk yesterday
OF the singular and unwsrrsnted decision of
Referee Campbell in the Felsing-Heil boat
race on Saturday All that was said in ia
yor of Campbell was that he was led to be-
lieye there was a foul on both sides, but
even if this was So ne should have ordered
the race rowed over and not have called it
an absolute draw. 1t is said John Watts is
much hurt because of the report that Camp
Dell made the decision because he (Watts)
had heavy stake on He'll. Wally Camp
bell is Watts bsrkeeper, and every Wheel
ing man who returned from the race said
Watts bet horse and buggy on He'll, and
that Campbell was afraid to decide against
him. There may be nothing in this report,
but it is very singular that everybody
should have heard oft.
Bellsire folks claim Felsing tried to cross
in front OF He'll, which occasioned the lat
'er's running into him, but this is roundly de-
MED by Wheeling men. Undoubtedly He'll
sweryed out of his course so as to impede
Felsing and this, under all rules, would lose
him the race. Msnton says He'll tried ex-
actly the same trick on him. Our Bellaire
correspondent says:
Yesterday, what few people who did not
attend camp spent their time discussing
Saturdays boat race Both the He'll and
Felsing men have come to the conclusion
hat both the contestants were at fault
He'll because he rowed over too close to the
Wheeling man, and Felsing because he had
no right to have attempted to cross in front
of Hell, There is considerable dissatisfsc,
ZION expressed at the referees decision.
Most everybody thinks the race should be
rowed over again. 1t is said that an effort
viii be made to get the men to row against
time, when. i; is thought He'll can beat Eel
sing.

1t would appear from little episode that
happened at the Moundsville camp grounds
yesterday that all is not lovely and harmoni-
GUS with the committee that has charge ofthe
grounds. Yesterday morning after 10
o'clock, the hour at which the gates are
closed a large party of Wheelingites ap,
piled for admission. The gste-keeper re-
fused to admit the party in spite of the re-
monstrances of three of the committee.
The rest of the committee backed the gate
keeper in the discharge of his duties,
and peremptorily refused to allow the
visitors to enter. The three members OF
the committee who belonged to the minority,
then procured Ratchet and broke the lock
and admitted the tardy guests. The gates
were then closed. After this proceeding the
disgruntled members of the committee
Messrs. Brooks, Bodley and Edwards, were
arrested, but gave bonds for their appear
ance this morning. The Wheeling residents
at the camp ground are anxiously awaiting
