resignation, and urged the church to join
him in requesting the presbytery to dissolve
the tie that binds them as pastor and peo-
pie. Should vote have been taken as
to the desire of the church in
the matter. DR.. Sample would certainly
have been unanimously elected to remain,
for never was a people more attached to
their minister, but when the doctor re-
Quested a release, there was nothing to be
done but grant the request, which by unani-
nous vote was agreed to. The church will
be joined in its regret at the termination of
most successful and beneficial pastorate,

call to the Twenty third Avenue church.

NEW YORK WINS.
DIR. Sample Resigns the Pastor ate
of Westminster Church.


Last Sunday DR.. Sample asked all the
members of his congregation to attend the
Thursday evening prayer meeting, because
he might have something of interest to say
to them. The request filled the lecture
room of the church last night, and as had
been surmised the something" was regard
ing the call which the doctor had received
from the New York Twenty-third Avenue
church. After conducting the usual deyo-
tional services, Mr.. Sample began brief re-
sumo of his work in this city. His pastorate
will have lasted twenty years next month,
during which time, from church with 100
members worshiping in small wooden
structure with a seating capacity of less
than 500, the Westminster member
ship has grown to almost 1000,
and has built the magnificent
sanctuary which they now occupy. The
present time finds them entirely out of
debt, and united and harmonious brother
hood. With the growth of the church has
spread the reputation of its popular pastor.
and he has of late years been called upon
to perform outside duties; he is known as
the father of the presbytery. and to him is
referred all questions for which sound adj
vice is needed. These numerous duties.
and the largely increasing duties of the pas
torate, are having a weakening effect on

A SAD DE ATH.
Alleged Cruel Treatment Given as
The Cause.

Mrs. BENJAMIN Rackliff died yesterday
First avenue north. A life full of hardship
and grief ends with the death of this poor
woman, who was regarded by her acquaint-
ances as worthy the sympathy which she
received 1t will be remembered that
about five weeks ago Benjamin Racklitf was
sent up for ninety days for beating and
kicking and otherwise abusing his wife.
The man is a one armed eX-sOldier, and the
act for which he was convicted was the cul-
mlnation of long years of abuSer. His wife.
the woman who died yesterday, found it
impossible to support her five children, and
at her request the man was released. Mrs.
Rackliff lived with her husband only ten
days afterward, when hard usage
compelled her to leave him. She has
since stayed with her mOther-in-law. who
fully sympathized with the poor woman
until short time since, when she went to
Mr.. Rice's to care for his wife. She was in
poor health when she went to Mr.. Rice's
house, where she grew rapidly worse, and
died yesterday morning. During her ill
less she complained of pain in her back
and hips which she ascrbed to the beating
her husband had given her before his ar
rest. Dr.. Roberts was called in about
thirty-siX hours before death, and found his
patient suffering from a severe attack of
peritonitis. which had advanced too far to
check. Mr.. Rice went to Rackliff yester-s
day and told him of his wife's death. He
says the man received him with a torrent of
oaths and refused to let his children go to
see their dead mother. The Rice family
from whom the above particulars are
CLEANED. are very indignant regarding the
affair, claiming that the woman's sickness
was the direct result of her husbands cruel
treatment. The case should be fully in
vestigated. and If the facts prove to be as
the Rice family think, the man deserves
cOndign punishment.

THE PRAY A>sIGNMENT
Precipitated by the Filing of an At
fachmenI.

The troubles of the Pray Manufacturing
company eliminated yesterday afternoon.
when a deed of assignment to Jabez NJ.
Robinson, for the consideration of 81, was
filed in the district court. The document
was signed by o. A. Pray, president and
o. F. Pray. secretary. and with A. B. Rob-
inson and Frances A. Pray as witnesses.
The wording of the assignment is in the
usual form and recites that the primary
cause of the failure is because an attach
ment was issued against the company on
Dec. Is, by Rugg. Fuller Il Co., to recover
about $780, The liabilities of the company
are estimated at $500. 900. and the assets at
S135, 600, as figured by the board of trade
committee. The assignment does not in
clude the personal estate of o. A. Pray,
whose liabilities are estimated at 800. 900 in
addition and which would have been in
cluded in the settlement advised at 80 cents
on the dollar. 1t is expected that the as
signee will endeavor to effect a sale of the
entire concern to Eastern parties.

A STRANGE STORY.
TWO Men Who Were Wrecked at Sea
Now in minneapolis.

Now in minneapolis.
At hotel on First street north are two
young men with romantic history, and
from which novel of no little interest
could be written. The names of the young
men are Lars Knutson and John Peterson.
As their names indicate, they are both Nor
wegians, and both are intelligent, well-in-
formed men. A few evenings ago they ap-
piled at the police station for lodging, and
to Sergt. Tom Nelson unfOlded a tale that
caused that officer 20 rush around and take
them to a hotel, where he paid their board
out of his own pocket. He became con-
WINGED that their story was true one, and
procured for the two men positions in the
woods under Capt. Tidd. They will leave
tomorrow night. The two men were en-
ployed on vessel running between Quebec
and Liverpool, and left the latter place
about the middle of November. When
several days out storm came up and
completely wrecked the vessel. During the
second dag of the storm the cooks cabin
was blown away, and as it went over the
side of the boat caught the captain. man
named Larson. and pressing him against
the side of the boat. cut him almost in two.
Matters then grew worse, and for a week
the crew subsisted almost entirely on salt
pork. The vessel finally filled and sank.
a number Of the crew. among them Knut-
son and Peterson. caught on to floating
SPAR and for two nights and one day
drifted around in the ocean. One by one
the men became chilled, and losing their
hold on the frail piece of timber, sank to
rise no more. Knutson and Peterson were
at last sighted by lights ship about fifteen
miles off New York. They were picked
up and taken to Staten Island. where they
were taken care of and given transportation
to this city, where they desired to come.
The story, as told by them, is intensely
dramatic, and as there is no doubt but
what it is true, it is dOubly interesting.
They say that Capt Larson was married
man, and had wife and four children in
England

certain that the creditors and indorsers are
inclined to be reasonable. while the deposit

ing to grant the eXtnsion asked, which will
probably permit All adjustment by which all
claims will be paid SO the bank can resume
business. The Eastern holders of paper

to help Mr.. Hush out of his present predic-

A Prophecy That Affects Russia.
IIoDdon ifa

Society at st. Petersburg is just now much
occupied with the revival of very curious
story. About three years ago there was a
spiritualistic seance at the Officers Club in
that city, at which the spirit of a famous
departed General was called up, and proph-
esied, among other things, that there would
be great war in 1886, in which Russia
would take leading part AS the ghost
of the deceased warrior mentioned among
the names of officers who would greatly
distinguish themselves in the war
those of some men who did not even
figure in the army list, the affair was looked
upon as a joke, and nothing more was
thought of it. But, by a strange coinci-
dence, amongst recent appointments to the
rank of commissioned officers, the very
names appear which the spirit had foretold,
the bearers being young men OF no family
who have risen from the ranks. As there
is no country in the world where supersti-
ton is carried to such an extent as in Russia,
the incident has caused quite a sensation.
1t would be very strange if at the COM
mencement of the year 1886 we should see
Russia drawn into war with Austria as a
result of the struggle between Servia and
Bulgaria
