The action Of the Fort Worth church
in attempting to secure the services OF
Rev. DR.. A. P. Smith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, brings
forth an earnest protest, not only
from the members Of his church and
congregation, but from the clJizens
generally. The officers, council met at
the residence of Judge Alex. White
last week and were greeted by about
a dozen OF our most prominent and in
nuential citizens, oesieging the coun
ell % take such steps as would defeat
the desire OF our sister city. Resolu-
tions were passed instructing the cid
ers of the cnurch TO be unremittinR in
their efforts to prevent the call being
placed in the hands of DR.. Smith,
which will be heard upon meeting OF
Presbytery at Denton, June 30, 1855.
A meeting of the members OF tho
church and congregation will DO held
after services on next Sabbath tor the
purpose OF taking such other steps as
will be for the welfare OF the church.
Suffice II to say that our Presbyterian
friends are too well acquainted with
the ability and usefulness OF DR..
Smith to lot Fort Worth or any other
city have his services, especially az
the time when prosperity, peace and
unity IS the prevailing sentiment.

A GIRLS STRANGE STORY.


Gen. Osborne, congressman at large anG
one of the best known lawyers of Pennsyl
vania, will lay before the board Of pardon:
next Tuesday remarkable confession O
an lS year old girl, Beatrice Lugg, concern
ing the crims for which her uncle, Edwin
Brothers, is condemned to be hanged on
April 7. Mr.. Brothers was convicted OF
killing William Nichols At his trial,
which occurred at Wilkesbarre niue months
ago, Miss Lugg's evidence contradicted that
of her uncle and guardian, who pleaded
guilty to murder in the second degree, but
| urged his provocation to the crime as his
only claim to the mercy of the court. Mich
| OILS, she murdered man, he said, had wan
tonly seduced his ward and wantonly in.
suited her and him and. carried away by
passion, he brothers. had killed him.
There were no witnesses except Miss
Lugg, who denied the charge of seduc-
tion in regard to herself, and testified
that her guardians crime was COM
mitted in cold blood On her evidence the
jury convicted Brothers of murder in the
first degree, and he was sentenced to be
hanged. On Friday last Miss Beatrice call
ed at the Office of her uncle's counsel, Gen.
Osborne, and, saying that her conscience
would not permit her to remain silent long
er, made full canfession. She came to the
United States five years ago under the care
of her uncle and guardian, Brothers, and
shortly after settling iu Wilkesbarre, made
the acquaintance of William Nichols, q
young countryman about 2S years of age,
and then supposed to be unmarried. Mich
OILS seduced her under promise of marriage,
and on the 10th of January, 1884, according
to the young girls confession, her uncle dis
covered her intimacy with Nichols. Mr..
Brothers, who was not only the uncle, but
the godfather and guardian of the girl, and
who guarded her with fathers tenderness
upbraided them both, and endeavored to
persuade Nichols to marry his neice, Miss
FAIR prsyed s afGG Gpon hptn ttnMs nMsGh4ad h4ad The
finally, after trying in vain for two months 10
have talk with Nichols the uncle, meeting him
on the street on the night of March 1, 1854, ask
ed him to right the great wrong he had done aud
marry the girl short parley ensued, during
which, it is supposed, Brothers discovered that
Nichols was already married man, and then the
sharp reports of pistol twice in rapid success
sion, rung ont, and Nichols fell mortally wound
ed His slayer was quickly arrested, and, at tho
trial which followed his niece in defence of whose
honor. it ia asserted, he committed tho fatal act
went before the jury and swore against him BY
declaring that no criminal relations had ever e1-
isted between herself and Nichols.
Such is the substance of the remarkable con
fession which Gen. Osborne will lay before the
board of pardons next week, and ask that Broth
ers' sentence be commuted. Gen. Osborne says 1t
is evident from Miss Lugg's confession that shc
perjured herself at tho trial out OF love for her
dead betrayer and hatred of her living guardian,
who had avenged her honor.
