The Preachers story.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-In the trial
of Rev. Waldo MessaroS, charged by Mrs.
Coulston with criminal assault. the defend
ant testified in his own behalf to-day. He
declared that it was case of conspiracy;
that Mrs CoulstOn had forced her atten-
tionS upon him ever since she had been a
member of his church; that she alleged her
husband had made her cOnsplre against
another woman and, on different occasions,
had said to him that her husband was a
thief, forger and liar; that Mr.. COul-
ston desired letter of withdrawal from
the church; that Mrs. Coulston had impor-
tuned the witness to grant it, which. he.
accepting her version of her husbands
character, had refused to give; that on the
day of the alleged assault he went TO COul-
stOn's at Mrs. Coulston'S request. to have a
final talk about the letter; that he again re-
fused to grant it, whereupon Mrs. COulston
suddenly threw her arm around him and
called for her husband; that simultaneously
he and several others rushed into the room.
overpowered him and handed him over to
the police, and that they by their rough
handling broke several buttons from his
vest and otherwise disarranged his clothing.
He emphatically denied the allegation of
aSSauIt

an insurance of SIS, 600 in the Pennsylvania
Mutual association. Several month ago he
allowed the policy to run out. The house
in which he lived is heavily mOrtgaged.
His Chicago house would hardly sell for
S10,0 600. The farm in southern Illinois. an
interest in which the general inherited.
would sell readily, but Mrs. Logan was to
keep it. 1t is the old family homestead.
and he never would consent to its sale. AS
farm property stands it will be worth
nothing to her. The idea of pensioning
Mrs. Logan meets general approval. Some
members are of the opinion that the pen-
sion should be SIS, 900 per year. This is the
sum given to widows of presidents. and
though Gen. Logan did not occupy an
Office so exalted as that, he was the recog-
nized head representative of the volunteer
Soldiery. 1t is hardly probable that pen
sion of less than SO, 500 will be voted, il the
expressions of congressman upon that SUBJ
ject may be taken as criterion.
A GOOD IDEA.
+ PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-At a meet
ing of the U. S. Grant Post No. 5, G. A.
R.. this evening. it was resolved to send
the following telegram:
Gen. Lucius Fairchld, Madison, Wis.-U.
S. Grant Post No. 5, Philadelphia, earnestly
recommends upon calling on the Grand
Army of the Republic to pay off the mortgage
on COmrade John A. Logan's homestead.
Post No. 5 will cheerfully contribute its
share. j. HENRY GoRCKE, Commander.
