GOLDSMITH VS.. GOULD.
The Jury Brings in n Verdict for the
Defendant.

New YORK, Oct. 22.
Jay Gould testified in his own behalf today
in the common pleas court. in the suit brought
by John Sydney Goldsmith to recover S25OO
This suit grows indirectly out of Gould's en-
deavors in 1882 to prevent the denomination
of A. b Cornell for governor by the repub-
licans Of this State. Goldsmith was at that
time a clerk in the United States Recorders
Office in this city. In order to aid Gould to
defeat Cornell he gave the speculator infor-
nation concerning the alleged secret society
which Cornell organized which was to be
known as the Knights Of Garter and was only
to include the cream of republican political
society. The information was published in
the form Of the meeting of this society and
subsequently Goldsmith was discharged from
his position on account, he claims, of this
publication. He AYERS that Gould promised
him position in case he Was discharged and
when he asked him to fulfil the promise he
refused. He was out of employment two
years afterward. The jury after being out
one-half hour brought in . verdict for the
defendant.

BRUTAL GRIM T..
A Woman Found in Her House With
Her Skull Crushed-A Clue to Her
Assailant.
LITTLETON, N. N, Oct. 22.

LITTLEroN, N. N. Oct. %
Widow Ranodyne Page, aged As, living
near Taylor's store in Dalton, IL miles from
here, was found yesterday afternoon nearly
dead, her skull fractured and she had terrible
wounds on her head and body, thought to
have been made by split stick of wood. She
was in sitting position in the corner of the
room in her house insensible. VIM. Somers.
about % years of age, who bears a bad repu-
tation, is suspected Of the crime. He hired
a boy to go to his brothers for his best suit
of clothes yesterday forenoon while he hid in
the sugar house. On the boys return he
asked if Mrs. Page was dead. He then
started of, being evidently partially intoxi-
Gated, and meeting another boy said he had
done something down there that would put
him in state prison. This led to an exami-
nation and the discovery of the crime. The
officers are on Somer's track with good
prospect of his capture. There are no hopes
for the recovery Of the injured woman. The
object of the assault is unknown.

HE Will HANG.
Riel's Necktie Party Likely to Occur on
the Tenth of November.

MONTREAL. Oct. 90.
L. o. David, president of the Rie defence
association, says he has received trustworthy
information that it is the governments in
tention to carry the law into effect against
Riel. He saws the feeling among the French
Canadians is intense, and with small pox and
other causes of race feeling the slightest
provocation might cause serious trouble
Personally he will take no further steps in
the matter and believes the committee will
follow this course, holding the government
responsible. Official journals of the French
and English this morning intimate pretty
conclusively that the death penalty will be
carried out, and prevent the entertainment of
any idea that for the second time mercy will
be shown to the leader of two rebellions
Government officers here say that Riel will
be hanged on the tenth of next month.

ANNUAL CONVENTION
Of the Kappa Delta Epsilon Fraternity
Second Days Session.
MIDpLErowN. Conn Oct %

MIDDLETowN, Conn, Oct. 90.
Public exercises of the Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon Convention were held this evening in
the North Congregational church. The
delegates, about $50 in number, entered in
procession and were given seats in 'front.' Ex-
Governor Long of Massachusetts, made the
presidents address, which was received with
applause.
The next speaker was Senator Butler of
South Carolina. who was very warmly receiv-
ed. Regretting that he had no Grafton worthy
of the time and place, he said he had no con-
ceptiOn until within six or seven months what
it was to be in accord with the federal gov
ernment. The bearing Of this was that he
no time to prepare an address, because he
had been so bounded by office seekers. He
had two things to say though, and one was
what was illustrated by the appearance of
Gov. Long and himself on the same platform,
that the star of freedom had risen for this
country. He alluded to the institution of
slavery. which until a few years ago held the
North aRd South apart; made q dividing line
for men who might agree on all other mat
ters. Its the mission Of such society as
this, to develop a kind of fellow feeling which
knits the country together. Slavery is gone
and am glad of it. l feel am myself lib
Grated. This country is too great. There
are TOO many interests bound up in 1t for ii
to be despaired of. Its far in advance of all
other countries in all that relates to real
genuine liberty. Whatever danger exists
can only be dispelled by universal education.
To prevent any i'll from communism, be just
and educate the masses. At the close of the
speech proper, Senator Butler told two ex-
cellent stories, and told them admirably.
Following this came a poem by Julian
Hawthorne, which was a master piece of its
kind. 1t abounded in satire, wit and appro-
priately humorous illusions, and Was withal
sublimely ridiculous, but harmonion.

EPISCOPAL CONGRESS,
Remarks Made for the Good
Ofthe Church.

NEw HAVEN, Oct. %.
The unpleasant, unfortunate and rather re.
markable incident which cast . cloud over the
harmonious proceedings of the Episcopal
Church Congress last night, vas very grace
fully and happily dispelled today. by mutual
apologies offered BY the principals, Rev. DR..
Courtney of Boston, and Charles Heber Clark
of Philadelphia.
The topic for discussion this morning was
"Aestheticism In Worship" q topic of consid.
cradle interest to Episcopalians. Rev. w.
A. Snevielly, S. T. D., of Brooklyn, tonight
said that church decorations, ,vestments, sacred
vessels and other things, should, as far 20
practicable, be of the best obtainable mate.
rial, confined strictly to the principle of good
taste. There may be q fair protest against
artificial flowers and the sense of excess in
Transforming preachers platform into au
exotic conservatory, but there can be no
question in reasonable minds as to the pro-
priety in decorating Gods altar with the fair
est products of his own creation
Joseph Pacard, Jr., of Baltimore, said !:
The church of God should be as beautiful as
its members can conscientionsly make it,
1t should be as good as the average house OF
its members it need be no better No con-
gregation has right to spend large amounts
IN beautifying the church when it starves its
ministers or neglects the poor. The lack of
faithful service cannot be made up for by the
requirements of tastes.
Prof John F. Wier of Yale Art School
and Rev. Arthur c. A. Hall of Boston spoke
upholding the ideas astheticism.
The opening of the evening session
was again filled to its utmost capacity. RI
Rev Bishop Deane of Albany presided. The
subject for discussion was Free Churches -
4 he first paper was read by John A. Beal
of New York. He treated the matter statis-
tically and historically and gave review of
the introduction of seats into churches in
earlier centuries; in concluding advocating
universally the free church.
r. Fulton Cutting of New York said that
young apostolic genius is soon called from
his first pulpit to wider fields in cities, lured
by the prospect of an increased financial re-
turn from high pew renting churches. God
gives genius for the benefit of humanity, but
the rich steal this gift from the poor. He
thought 4 great wave of democracy was
sweeping over the country and when the
binding mist of prejudice was swept away
pew-renting church would be an exception.
Rev. JnO. Cotton Brooks of Springfield,
said that the poor of the land are now in the
hands of the church, for good or evil, and in
whatever way we treat them will decide the
amount of good or evil the church is to acom-
plish. He strongly insisted that the pew rent
ing system was the only way to maintain the
dignity and respect of the church. Bishop
Deane Of ALBANY then delivered short eulogy
on DR.. Cromwell, the original advocate of
the free church system.

The GRANT FUND.
A Meeting OF the Subscribers to Deter.
niue Its Disposition.
New YoRK, Oct. %.

New YORK, Oct %.
In response to circular issued BY Mr.
George Jones. a meeting Of the subscribers to
the fund of $3.50, 600 which Was raised in 1881
for the benefit of Gen. Grant, Was held tonight
At the office of Oliver Hovt. The object Of
the meeting vas to determine the future dis
position of the fund. Messrs. Hunt aad
Jones, the two surviving trustees, also de-
sired to be relieved of further responsibility.
Mr.. Jones had proxies from those Who had
contributed about seven-eights Of the fund,
parties either advising transfer thereof to
Mrs. Grant or authorizing Jones to use his
own discretion.
Jay Gould said when he subscribed $685.
600 to the iund il was with the understanding
that the fund was to be deposited with the
United States Trust Co., and that meeting
of the subscribers was to be called to deter
mine how the money should be invested.
Mr.. Jones said that he had no
recollection of any such understanding.
He said this meeting had been
called for the purpose of enabling the
subscribers to say what they wanted done
with the fund. At no time since the fund
was invested had Gen. Grants family failed
to receive the interest promptly on the day it
was due. The bond of the Wabash railroad,
in which greater part of the fund Was in
ex-Gov. Morgan and the trustees considered
that that Investment was perfectly good.
Gould remarked that the fund ought to have
been invested in government bond. Jones
said, "Well, it was Gould who told me that
those Wabash bonds were as good as govern
ment bonds" Gould could not remember
that he had ever given any such assurance.
Mr.. Hoyt explained that $1,000 of the
$3.50, 900 fund had never been paid in. When
the fund reached $500, 200, that amount was
invested i'll Wabash bonds and as the money
continued to come in gradually it was invested
in nickel plate. first mortgage bonds. Messrs.
Gould. Huntington and Dillon expressed a
desire to chip in and make the fund $780,
600 in reality. Mr.. Jones explained that
Mrs. Grant had already made her will, in
which she gave this fund to her daughter aAd
to the wives of her sons. Such a disposition
of the fund would keep it out Of the hands Of
Gen. Grants creditors. All we're satisfied
with the provisions of Mrs. Grants will.
After discussion the following resolution
was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the fund be placed in the
hands of trustees to pay the income to Mrs
Grant during her life and after her decesse
to her children during their respective
lives and on their decease that the fund be
distributed to their descendants; that COM
mittse of two be appointed to pre-
pare trust deed and submit the
terms of the same to the donors at
future meeting TO be called that the u
S. Trust Co. act as trustees and that on
transfer of the funds now in the hands of
Messrs. Jones ard Hoyt they be discharged
from all further responsibility and liability !;
that Judge Noah Davis and Henry Day be
appointed as committee to prepare the trust
deed.
