man who occupies the best pew, be-
cause he has had more money to buy
it than:others, never by any chance
hears of the sin-for which perhaps
be is notorious mentioned.
There is a present and all consuming
fear lest his tender sensibilities be
wounded and he will withdraw his
lofty patronage from the church. 30
the minister avoids mentioning bis sin
and the members, taking the minister
as their leader and example are just
as careful to give him the right hand
of fellowship as if that hand was
cleansed by fire itself. 1t is useless
to state that spirit of true Christian
forbearance prompts this treatment
because the most disinterested observer
knows better, since the man who has
only been able to keep up his regular
ch urch dues, by the most rigid econ
omy, is treated with Indifference and
too often contempt. albeit, be is up
right in all his dealings with bis fellow
men, and is possessed of character
without reproach. That there is
8 something radically wrong in all this,
needs no particular research, but the
remedy is harder to secure. Ministers,
above every one, should be fearless in
their denounciation of sin, and neither
wealth or station should prevent them
from dealing with its consequences.
AZ an illustration of the manner In
which sins are sometimes condoned by
ministers, it is related of a prominent
eastern divine, who, on being requested
to deliver a sermon against the cry
ing evil of divorce had prepared a
most elaborate sermon from the text
|"Whoscever shall put his wife away
committeth adultry etc" but seeing
one of the most liberal patrons OF
the church and one of the largest
pew owners occupying a seat directly
| In front with the woman whom he
bad just married after having secured
a divorce from the wife of his youth
and the mother of his children
changed the nature of his address al
well as the text lest offence should bt
given. Of course this is an exaggera
ted case for God be thanked ther'
are honorable upright ministers VIII

one instant to fall into the vail

CoBtesting of the wills


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 23.-The contest
over the two wills alleged to have been
left by the late Myra Clarke Gaines, be.
tween Mrs. Mary E. Evans, named as all
ministratrix in the alleged autographic
will dated Jan. s, 1885, and Messrs
Wilder and Christmas, named as
administrators in the nuncupatiYe
will dated Jan. 3, 1885, has
been going on. since Wednesday before
Judge Houston in the District Civil
Court. Two witnesses testified that the
first mentioned will was not in Mrs.
Gaines handwriting, and DIR. HOlcOmb
testified that Mrs. Games was physically
unable TO write anything from Jan. D to
Jan. 5. To-day, letters alleged to have
been written by Mrs. Gaines in the years
1882, 1888 and 1884, were offered in
evidence by the counsel for Messrs. Will
der and Christmas, showing that
Mrs. Gaines at one time had
great confidence in Mrs. Evans, but
and an unfortunate and unprincipled wO-
been Mrs. Games legal 'r ad-
wiser, and had received the above
mentioned letters, was put on the stand
to prove Mrs. Gaines signature to them.
The counsel for Mrs. Evans asked Wilder
if he had ever been convicted for forgery.
Wilder said: Il will answer thus-if
ever l was convicted l have been par
dOned by the President. That happened
many years ago, and let me say further
that | was unjustly convicted" Several
witnesses testified to their belief that the
alleged aulOgraphic will is in Mrs. Gaines
handwriting, but others testify to the
contrary. Deeds offered in evidence show
that Mrs. Gaines in 1881 opposed Of the
property mentioned in this will.

frantically waving their hats. He at
once stopped the train and backed up to
where the boys were standing. They in
formed the trainmen that a portion of the
Beaver Pond trestle had been washed
away by the back water from the War
riOr river. The boys had made the dis
cOvery about the time the train was due,
but il was four hours late, and the brave
lads remained standing in the bitter
cold until it arrived. They feared to
leave their posts, thinking the train would
arrive every moment. Had no one warned
the train Of the washOut ii would doubt
less have plunged into the abyss. The
train was running 80 miles an hour, and
as there is a curve near the trestle, the
engineer could not have discovered the
danger until the train was beyond all hu-
man aid. The passengers made up a
purse Of S25 for the heroic boys, who gave
their names as Frank Dickson and Tom

w edding Festivities in the Indian Ter
ritOry Wound Up with Tragedy.
ST. LOUIS, Jan 21.-A tragedy occurred
near Webber's Falls, i'll the Indian Ma
ton, on Saturday. Colson Baldridge was
married day or two previous, and the
festivities were wound up by ball at the
residence of man named Davis. Whisky
and pistols seem to bave been plentiful.
All went merry until after midnight,
when suddenly the revelers were startled
by pistol shot from the outside of the
house, and ColsOn Baldridge fell with a
bullet through his body. He imme-
dlateIy got up, and drawing
his pistol, rushed to the door and
fired three shots at his assassin as he fed
from the house, and then dropped dead.
Then there was general drawing of pis-
tolls, and about 70 shots were fired through
the house. When the smoke had cleared
away it was found that Jennie Butler, a
Cherokee woman, joe 'Muskrat and Jen-
ME Smith had been wounded. The party
being all full Of liquor, many of them lay
on the floor and slept off their stupOr, and
one of them found when he awOke that he
had been using the body of the murdered
bridegOOm as pillow, and was lying in
his blood.
Baldridge had killed Jesse Foreman
several years ago while trying to arrest
him. He was tried for the crime in the
United States Court, but was acquitted,
and it IS supposed that some of Fore
mans friends took this occasion to Wreak
their vengeance on him.
