The Church and Music.

ST. LOUIS, June Sin the United Presby-
terian national assembly the judiciary com
mittee sustained the decision of the synod in
the Rev. j. C. Evans case and ordered the
decision executed by The Omaha presbytery.
A report on amending the article in the book
Of government on overtures was adopted
Action on summary church principles was
laid over until next year The report of the
committee on the report of the board of
home missions submitted majority report
favoring the adoption OF the general com
mittee's report amended by the minority
that the churches using instruments be
stricken from the appropriation list; that nc
Appropriation be given hereafter to instru-
mental churches. Animated discussion pre-
vail led all day.
Finally the amendment was defeated by a
vote of Is! to So This is regarded as a test
vote, and when the question Of using m usica
instruments in churcles of this denomination
comes directly before the assembly it will
probably be decided in favor of letting each
church determine for itself.

Pharisees,

What remarkable Pharisees most of us
arel The woods are just billing full of us
The man who drives out in his buggy on
Sunday thinks the man who rides on the
bicycle on the same day is chief among
sinners. The bicycle man wouldn't asso-
ciate with tina man who plays base ball on
Sunday The base ball player scorns the
Sunday fisherman, while the pensive fish
erman leans over the dimpling wave and
watches the man with gun in the field
beyond, and wonders why the lightning
of a wrathful heaven does not strike him
dead. The gunner grieyes to think there
are men so low as to drink beer on Sun
day, and the beer drinker reflects sadly
on the sinfulness of the man who will go
to a dance on Sunday night. In the
meantime the ARGUS gets up in an humble
corner and prays 20 Lord, be merciful to
us, sinner?'

Governor Cleveland's most intimate friends

the race Mr.. Dana recognizes this fact and
his paper expresses its regrets. Cleveland is
not favored by Tilden, who thinks he can
not carry New York, because John Kelly and
his friends are bitterly opposed to him. The
probabilities are, in his opinion, that Flower

WASHINGTON CITY, June 2.-The Wash

Democratic voters of the United States are
entitled to know that Samuel J. Tildeu is
not an aspirant for presidential honors at

before the Chicago convention, and will not
accept the nomination under any circum-

RiDDELL'S STATEMENT.
He Says the Directors are Responsible
for Penn Bank Troubles.

PITTSBURG, June 3-President Riddell, Of
the Penn bank, has made statement the
substance of which is that the bank was in
good condition in 1881, when he was taken
sick. During his illness the first overdraft of
$2O0, 900 was made with the consent of the
directors. Riddell went to New York to en-
deavor to get parties to bull" the
oil market and make good the
shortage, but was unsuccessful. He
says the directors borrowed more money
from the bank than the surplus and capital
amounted to. Congressman Hopkins, a.
Hutchinson, r. Kennedy, S. Severance, and
others Interested in the bank, heavily en-
gagged in oil speculation. The bogus firms of
Wilson & Co., Hill a. Co, etc, were COM
posed of NJ. McMullen, oil broker, and the
Penn bank. He asserts that the directors
used the Banks money in risks despite his
protest. The statement, if true, shows that
the directors are responsible for the condi
ton of the bank.
Riddcll is very low There is much excite
nent, and opinion is divided.

An april Fool Trick iscovered

Three very nice down town dudes
thinking it rather too expensive to buy
button hole bouquets every time they
went MASKING, determined to ralse their
own. A down town gentleman, who likes
to encourage yoang men, kindly gave
them some tube rose bulbs. 1t was the
first of April; but the dudes forgot it, or
perhaps they would have examined their
bulbs more carefully. AS it was, how
ever, they planted and carefully tended
them until few days ago, when they dis
covered to their disgust and the neigh
bors' amusement, that their supposed tube
rose bulbs were garlick bulbs The way
the flower pots flew around the back yaid
made folks think that another cyclone
had struck the town. The gentleman
wears sore head. and the poor dudes are
minus bouquets

KILLED ST HIS RESCUERS.
One Of the Victims of the Late Baiti,
more Disaster.

BALTIMORE, June 3.-The body of james
Kelly, one of the clerks who was killed in
the fall of the Hooper building on Friday,
has been unearthed. 1t was conclusively
proven 10y physicians that Kelly was killed
by firemen who were tearing down the
walls OF the ruined building, and not by
the original disaster The body was found
with one foot crushed beneath the closed
door of the heavy iron safe. Across
his chest was an enormous beam, which
had remained in position on an upper floor
until twenty hours after the disaster. This
beam the fremen dislodged in tearing down
the ruins and it fell with terrible crash. II
was this that caused Kelly's death, beyond
all doubt, as the doctors are positive that he
did not sustain any original injuries save the
crushing of his foot In the safe door, A
singular fact in connection with the case is
that a sister of kellys was on the scene Of
the disaster imploring the fremen to make
haste in rescuing her brother. She was
wild with grief, and stated positively that
she WAS sure her brother was alive in the
ruins Her singular premonition proved to
be correct There is do doubt now that seven
men were killed by the wreck.

Harry Brown and James Wilson are
not yet of age, but they are old enough TO
know how to behave if they want to.
But they didn't chose TO act in an orderly
manner yesterday, and besides using

Metsch landed them before Cropper, who
gave them SIS each.
Pat Rooney. who was taking pleasure
ride in J. D. Stringer's boat Saturday night,
without the permission of that gentleman,
was taken before the police magistrate
yesterday, who put him under 800 bonds
for trial. Pat decided to acknowledge
the corn, and he went before Judge Adams
and plead guilty, He was fined $40 and
costs, and the Judge agreed to give him
twenty days in which to scrape together
enough lucre to liquidate his debt to the
county. If Pat does not skirmish around
pretty lively and earn the money, in the
time stipulated, he will be put into the
county bastile to dream the idle hours
away, in pounding stone or some other
eyhilerating exercise.

Remarkable Case of Old Age.

Special TO the lntlanapo IS journal
CoNNERsvILLE, March A case of remarka
BILE longevity has just come to light in this
county. About month ago Mrs. Hannah nc
Feeley died at the county Poor Asylum, where
she has been almost from time immemorial.
Yesterday an old family Bible was found in her
room, containing record of the birth and mar
riage of all her brothers and sisters and father
and mother. 1t shows that she was born in l7G0,
thus making her 124 years of old. She has a sis
ter Nelly, now residing somewhere in Ohio, who
has frequently visited her of late, and whose
age. as shown by the record, is 104 years. The
last time she visited here she looked y 5ry aged
though she was quite active. From the record
there seems to be no question about the anthem
ITCHY of her age as above stated The deceased's
maiden name was Hannah Allen.
