rector of st. Johns P otestsnt Episco'
pal church con ducted the servic - in un
unuaraly impressive manner Every
member Of the congregation WAS pr S.
eat. When the time arrived tof the
singing Of the hymn Benedict
tus," the choir did not respond. The
rector requested the siaGers 10 pro-
ceed, but the leader, on behalf o the
choir, made a positve rff0sal, saying
they were tined Of the "Beudic'us," "
ana prtfArsd rendering the "juti-
late" which, as they claim, WIS just
as appropriate ard much iiveisf.
This, coupled with vague intimations
that they would not be con-
holled wholly by. the pastor, shocked
the latter, and he fell on the h>or un-
conscious. He recovered and dis
missed the congregation. A relapse
tnsued and he was carried to his
home and became partially psralys q.
Mr.. Wood is one Of the most eloquent
rectors in Western Pennsylvania aud

DID NOT INSULT HIS MOTHER.
Hugh Cnnnon,s Mother Was Not
Before the Grand Jury, Ergo,
She WAS Not Insulted.

H
A great deal has been said by the Ne,vs
and Herald to exonerate Hugh Cannon
from any particular blame for his assault
on District Attorney Dickson last Mon
day evening. Their favorite argument
has been that "the boy was enraged, and
justly, too, at the indecent questions
asked his mother in the Grand Jury room
regarding her approaching maternity"
1t has been known all along that Hugh
Cannon was not the son OF the lady who
was asked those questions, and nobody
has known it better than the News, as its
editor is n blood relation OF the Cannons.
1t has been interesting to see
how affectionately this false position has
been chung to day after day by "Granny,"
in desperate effort TO place the disgrace
full assault in the light OF a natural occur :
renee, and nothing has been left unsaid
on the matter OF the insulted mother and
the incensed and heroic son, save the
truth, which il that the boys mother
was not insulted, and that his act was not
retributive justice for the alleged insult.
Hugh Cannon's mother is Sarah j.
Cannon, and not Martha j. Cannon, the
lady who took exceptions to the questions
Of tile District Attorney. Some of
the family, who were asked
about the false statements in
this respect, admitted that the
papers had made n mistake in the mat
ter, and the family had not thought it
worth while to correct or lontradict it.
1t transpires that the boy Hugh is not re.
lated in any way to the Outraged" Mrs
Cannon, excepting as to the relationship
arising from the poygamous marriage
and it further appears that the motive
for getting him TO do the striking In the
assault was that his youth would count
in his favor when the consequences Of
the act should be considered. IL
is apparent that the boy was led
to do the assaulting, not by any
heroic feelings OF grievance over
mothers wrongs, but because
the act would be looked upon as less
dastardly II coming from his hands than
from one OF the older ones. This deyel-
opment will tend as strongly as the other
powerful evidence has tended, to estab-
lish beyond II doubt that other and older
heads concocted the scheme which the
boy Hugh assisted in carrying out.
Those OF the family who were an
preached on the subject to-day, were very
mnch embarrassed and had very little to
say about it.
