The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-05-26

At the afternoon session DR., McCosh
reported back as in order the appeals Of
Judge Drake against the Synod of Balti-
more in the case Of DR.. George Little
and Rev. T. S. Hamlin, OF the Church
OF the Covenant, Washington, and the
assembly found itself dangerously close
TO general discussion OF the question
of responsive readings OF the Scriptures
in public worship. DIR. Calvin w. Stew
art came to the rescue with motion to
have the trial Of the appeals referred to
n judicial commission, which was agreed
to after opposition bysome commissioner
who wanted the question settled right
then and there on the floor OF the assem-
bly,.
Rcv. J. 7. Smith, OF Baltimore then
read the report OF the Committee OF
Conference with the southern assembly
on organic union. The question Of the
relation OF the Catholic people in the
South to the church is thus disposed OF
in the committees report: 1--WE are OF
the opinion that our assembly will agree
to basis OF organic union by which the
present boundaries and constituencies
and synods in the South shall regain in
statue quo, to be changed only with the
consent of the parties interested; and
that all new churches and new presby-
teries hereafter established shall be or
ganized by and received into connection
with presbyteries and synodg respect
lively us the interested parties may vir-
tually agree"
Mr.. Smith said that this was merely
designed TO give colored members and
colored churches the liberty Of entering
into such associations as they desired,
and was in no, sense mandatory upon
the colorcd people who could associate
with the white presbyteries or not rs in
their own judgment seemed proper.
Rev. Evnrl Kempshall, OF New jersey,
made plea for deliberation, and moved
to recommit the report to the committee
with instructions to report to the next
general assembly.
Rev. Howard Crosby, Of New York,
hoped the General Assembly would act
promptly and favorably upon the com
mittee's report.
Rev. John II. Paxton, Of New York
favored DR., Kempshall's resolution toi
recommitment and 1t was during his
remarks that occurred one OF the mos
REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATIONS
yet seen upon the floor Of the Genera
Assembly.
DR.. McCosh thought the assembl!
might so still farther in preparing tn,
way for union by the adoption Of a reso
luton declaring a willingness to form
union on the ground Of the standard o
the two churches pure and simple
loud applause.l
The question was further discussed IL
behalf Of immediate action by Rev. DI
II. NJ. Patterson.
Governor Beaver moved, rs substi
tute, to refer the matter to special com
mittee to report to the Assemly at tn
earliest possible moment, its report I
take precedence over any other orde
before the body. This was adopte
and the Moderator appointed as tn
special committee, Justice Strong an
Drs. Crosley, Young, Hoyt and Sander
Adjourned until tomorrow.
: This evening q popular meeting in tn
interest OF foreign missions was held.

a Bah Room Tragedy.

The story we are about 10 relate happened
Ia this city not many weeks ago 1t Was kept
out Of print at the tins- out OF consideration
for the young lady, who has since left the
city.
II was at a ball Among the persons pres
ent was a young lady VINO had a great horror
Of snakes. and imagined-no matter what
the reason-if she experienced any unusual
alarm a snake in unpleasant proximity
After dancing a while she was greatly dis
turbed by feeling a sensation as though a
serpent had dxed ITSELF beneath the folds OF
her dress.
GraSping the head Of the monster tightly,
consultation among the gamest of the ladies
was held, when II was decided that a young
disciple Of Esculapirs who was present
should be called 70 their assistance He was
quickly on tho spot, and, being young man
Of uncomznon courage, was not many mo-
ments within the circle Of half fainting fe-
males before be had caught the tail Of the
snake and wound 1t firmly around his hand,
telling Miss u that sine must let 60 the mo-
nent be jerkcd, and 70 make the act as in
stautaneoUS as possible.
lie told Der he wonld pronounce the words
one, two, three, and that at the last word she
mast ies 60 Der bold, and that be doubted not
that be could withdraw the snake before IL
could have time to strike.
All stood in breathless horror awaiting the
act Of he OF death, and tho moment the
words were pronounced the young fellow
jeTked cut the longest and most diabolical
hooking ~irs hustle that ever was seen
Tho whole affair was soon explained The
fastening of the rnachiue had become loose
during tire dancing. and u had shifted It's
position IN such manner that Il dangled
about and induced the vearer TO believe that
it was a snake With an enormous head. The
fellow swOoned ia his tracks, and couldn't h

what Jack Dempsey. Billy Edwards and
Joe Coburn Hsve to Say OF Fighters
on Both Sides of the water-styies
of Fighting Different

How does the American pugilist compare
in science with his English cousin' is a ques-
tion often asked, but seldom, II ever, an
swered satisfactorily Every contest of re-
cent years between representative men OF
each nationality has ended in draw. Hee-
nan outfougbt SayerS. bat was robbed Of bis
victory by an English referee Kilrain was
no doubt better nsn than Smith, but their
fight also ended in draw. How the Sulli-
van-Mitchell contest was decided every one
knows A New York Star reporter inter
viewed q number Of men who have won lau-
rels in the ring with gloves and bare
knuckles. The high place the men occupy in
the pugilistic world entities their opinions to
respect. They will, no doubt, prove inter
estlng reading 20 admirers OF the manly art.
