The Matrimonial Music Question In Ii
Kansas Supreme Court,

The Matrimonial Music Question In tho
Kansas Supreme Court.
TOPEKA, KAN, Feb. 10.-An interesting
and unusual case came up in the Supreme
Court yesterday on error from Cowley
county, being that Of Jacob T. Hackney
and others against the trustees and dea-
cons of the Christian Church at Winfield.
Hackney has long been q member OF
that church, and assisted materially in
building the church. He Is opposed to
tho use OF instrumental music in the
praise service or worship Of the church,
and through his and his associates efforts
such music was Tor long time debarred
| from the church at Winfield.
With the advent OF new members and
change OF ministers came a controversy
regarding the musiC, and in February,
1886, when ]. NJ. VRwter, the new minis
ter, was employed, new organ was
swung into position, an orgAnist took her
place, and divine service wss opened with
instrumental music. In June following
Hackney and others obtained an injunc-
tion against the officers Of the church from
the use OF an organ or other instrumental
vice, or worship. The injunction was dis
solved in July, in the same year. A mo-
ton was entered for new trlsl, which was
dismissed by the District Judge, and On
appeal taken by Hackney to the Supreme
Court.
The plaintiffs petition alleges that the
use Of an organ or other instrument Of
music is not authorized by the New Tes-
lament scriptures; that at the time he
(Hackney) joined the church and con-
tributed 800 for new building, no such
musical instrument was employed, per-
mitted or Countenanced; that the use Of
such instrument Is contrary to the teach
ings OF scriptures, is sinful and mere
matter OF expediency; that he Hackney
and forty others have protested against
the forcing Of an organ into the church,
and believe 1t to be an abomination in the
sight OF the Lord that use Of such an or
gan deprives plaintiff and others from
worshiping In said church, and that they
must remain out Of said house Of worship
and turn II over to those who contributed
nothing to its erection and have perverted
its use.
The point is urged that where man
unites with particular church and In
vests his money In It's building, because he
approves its doctrines, form Of worship,
modes Of prayer and praises, these methods
and forms can not be forCibly changed
without his consent and against his wishes,
efforts and conscience, without conflicting
with the right 10 religious freedom, guar
anteed By tho Constitution Of Kansas,
which ordains that the right to worship
God according TO "ths dictates Of conscience
shall never be infrings6, nor shall any
person be compelled to sttend or support
any form Of worship, nor shall any con-
troll Of or interference with the rights Of
COINCIDENCE be permitted, nor any prefer
ence by Law to any religious establishment
or mode Of worship"
The case was argued and submitted, and
the diC Cision Of the Supreme Court will be
awaited with much interest, as 1t Ia be.

which has ever reached court OF last re-

"The citizens OF Wheeling hRvo origi-
mated q movement for the attraction Of

ment Of Agriculture relates to numbers
and values Of farm animals.
There is a reported increase in horses,
mules and cattle, and deCreBse in sheep
and swine. The largest rate OF increase
is In horuea, amounting to fully per

per cent. The increase in cattle Ia nearly
q per cent, corresponding closely With
advances in population, 1t makes the
aggregate over $4,000. 900, or So per 100 Of
population. The increase IL nearly as
large in mich COWS as in other cattle.
In sheep the decline appears to be be-
tween two and three per cent, the aggre-
gate OF tlocks bsing about 43,50O There
is smaller decline in number OF swine,
leaa than one per cent, leaving the Gggre.
gate over 100000.
Prices Of horaea and mules are nearly
the game as last year, but both arc lower
than in the year 1854, when the continu-
ous advance from 1870 eliminated. The
average for all ages is S7l 50 for horses
and $40 Is for mules, decrease OF thirty
six cents and eighty.seven cents respect

From 1879 to 1884 the animal estimates

since been uninterrupted, without excep-
ton for either Clsss oil stock. The lGll in
nilch COWS has been from 500 0S to $34 G5

IL. q. Dunn & Co.'s Weekly Report-No
Change In tho Course Of Business.
NRw YORK, Feb. 10.--R. G. Dun & 90.
In their weekly review OF trade say: In
the general course Of business there has
been no percep!iblo change. The volume
Of payments, including paper maturing
February l, was over l3 per cent larger
than Last year outaide OF New York; eVi.
IDENTIFY the gain in the volume OF now
transactions is much smaller. Railroad
tonnage ia enlarged by wars Of rates, and
the ratio Of expenses to earnings grow less
satisfactory. Nearly all the interior points
report trade dull or inactive, though there
Is perCeptible improvement within the
pRat ten days.
Collections are slow at St. Paul, Milwau-
kee, Detroit, and Cleveland, and the
number Of failures in tho northwest be-
yond the MiRsiasippi seem larger than
usual. A vast amount OF capital has been
locked up and vast body OF indebtedness
crested in connection with real estate,
grain and other speCulations Of the past
year
Tho capacity Of iron furnaces in blast
February was l6,40G tons, weekly, less
than January l, and contrary to expeC!a.
ton much more than half the decrease
WAS in other than anthracite furnaces.
The effects Of the strike in the coal regions
increase from day to day, but are not as
great sB the depression due to HhrinkRge
in demand.
Ofthe latter, part is attributab!eto to tariff
uaCertsinties and in part to excess OF rail-
road building in the West and the conse.
quent wsrs OF rates.
Pig iron is weaker at Pittsburgh, but
std at the Eaat for the better grAdes on
account Of their scarcity. In msnutac-
tursd iron slackened demand Still causes
weakness. Nearly ell markets are lower
-Sales OF stocks about 90 cents per share
for the week; wheat about ] cent per
bushel; corn Of a cent; oats cent; cot'
fee cent per pound, aud sugar, both re.
fined and crushed, an !; hogs 10 cents per
100 pounds and tin / cent per pound.
In groceries there has been some i'm:
proyemens In tone and the distribution Of
the ten trade, and 1t shows more activity
and hopefulne5B, but the demand for but
ter and cheese is hardly satisfactory.
The business failures during the last
seven days numbered for the United
States 237, for Canada SO, total 2S9; COM
pared with 279 last week and 267 for the
corresponding week lRst year. The fes.
ture this week is the unusual number Of
failures in Canada, being nearly double
the usual weekly average.

WEST VIRGINIA WINS

Are to lie Delivered to the State AuthOritIen
By Kentueky-A Writ of Haosas Cor.
pus drautsd by Judge BArr-Mr.
GIbsoh's Mission Successful.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. l0.-Argument
was heard to-day in the United States Dis
trict Court on the motion for writ of
hqbeGs corpus in the case OF Valentine Hat
field aud sight others, citizens Of West
Virginie, row confined in the jail of Pike
county.
Hon. EustHcs Gibson appeared for West
Virginia. He said that no believed that
the Commonwealth ofKentucky had bsen
the frat in the history OF this country to
ssIEs and enjoy an opportunity for the in
vasion OF sister State, aud the seizure Of
her citizens by band OF outlaws. The
petition sets forth that the state Of aHsirs
had been brought to the no!ics Of the
Governor Of Kentucky. who, while sd.
mitting the citizsns OF West Virginia had
been violently and wronSEully captured,
yet refused to right the wrong. The right
10 settle the interstate questions was dis.
tinctly conferred upon the Federal Gov
eminent.
Governor Knott said: "If this was
controversy between the STATED, az tho ar
gument OF his learned brother had iudics-
ted, then this proceeding should be bsfore
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
which alone had Jurisdiction In con.ro.
versies between States. From the
fact that the attorney for West Vir-
ginIa had seen ft to connect the
Chief Magistrate OF Kentucky with
this ridiculous proceeding aud 10
Rssaii his character in connection with II,
he would read letter from Gov. Bucknsr,
defending himself. Mr.. Knott then read
thu letter which completely refutes the
poaition taken by the Governor OF West
Virginia. He said he had complied with
every condition which Governor Wilson
thought necessary, aud therefore supposed
that steps had been taken to give up tho
lugitives from justice. He knew nothing
to the contrary until early in January,
After Ex-Governor Knott, Attorney
General Hardin addressed the court.
Among other things, he stated that the
United STATES Statute, ou the Issuing oil
writ OF habeaS corpus, explicitly requires
that the person confined must make and
sign the petition for his own release. 10
this case the petitions ars not 80 made and
signed. Further the petitions are NOT
good because the conditions and faCts Of
the confinement are not set forth as the
law requires.
Judge Barr, in rendering his decision,
stated that. he felt great hesitsncy in the
matter. The case was without president,
and he was doubtful, ths petitions being
Obscure. Such being the cass, however,
and the attorneys for the State OF Ken
tuCky having failed to show that
ths prisoners confined in the Pike county
jail bad been placed there through due
process OF Low, he inclined to the
side claiming relief for persons unjus!ly
confined, and would grant tbs writ Of
habeas corpus, returnable next Monday a

She demonstrated at least that ahe is q
