IS MRS. scoFfIeLo sANef
Her Strange Actions Indicate that Hatcl
was Murdered.

was Murdered.
New YoRx, May 26-The Hatch mystery
will not die out Of the public mind so long
as Mrs. Lillian Z. Scofield makes vague ut.
terances concerning the dark secret which,
there is no question, continues to trouble
her The fact that she openly accused her
husband of having committed murder
while standing in Broadway and the con
slant dissipation she is indulging in fur
nish conclusive proof that the woman is
positively suffering from some mental pain,
cause as yet unexplained. Going round
the circle in her wanderings, Mrs. Scofield
invariably comes back TO the Thirtieth
Street Police Station, as if there was mag
netic influence in the place where she was
first taken after the dead body of Nathaniel
w. Hatch was found Mention was made
of her creating a disturbance on Wednes-
day night and requesting a policeman 20
arrest her husband on the charge of muir
deg, but the whole story was not told.
In the first place, Mrs. Sco6eld now
appears ten years older than she did on
the morning of May s, and there is
q strange hunted look in her eyes
that is apparent TO everyone who has en-
countered the woman since her release
from the House of Detention. Though she
seems TO have been always fond Of wine
her indulgence in champagne is now
greater than before, and st times her con-
duct indicates that she has imbibed even
stronger liquids. Without intent to
deepen the bad impression already abroad
concerning this singular man, it must
be said that her actions and language can
not but be taken as indications of an un-
settled and haunted brain.

SOUTHERN pRessYTERlANs.
The Convention Convenes at Baltimore
After the Return of Delegates from
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
BALTIMORE, May 26-The convention Of
Southern Presbyterians met at three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, after the re-
turn of the delegates from Philadelphia.
In the absence of Moderator Ballock, who
conducted the funeral ceremonies of a
friend, Rev. Jacob Henry Smith, of North
Carolina. presided. The order of the day
was the consideration OF the appeal taken
by Rev. DIR. Woodrow from the decision OF
the Synod of Georgia on his theory of eyo-
luton. Rev. DIR. Strickler took the floor.
DIR. Strickler called attention to the fact
that the convention was to vote upon the
action of the Georgia Synod, and that any
new matter that may have been brought
up here could have no weight in the fnal
decision. He argued that Dr. Woodrow's
theory was against the teachings
Of the church, and that if
teacher in the church could
not be charged with an offense in trans
crossing the word of God; there was no
telling where it would end. The burden
Of DR.. Strickler's argument was that the
Church accepted the words God made
man from tho dust of the earth" as one of
her standards, and with no other
Interpretation than they bare on their
face and that DIR. Woodrow violated
the word Of God when he attempted any
other Interpretation. DIR. Strickler said
that il the convention declined to sustain
the decision of the synod of Georgia Il re-
fused to stand on the face of the meaning
Of Gods word. At p. IN. recess was
taken until ID. m

Secret OF Greaser Indifference Toward
American Productions.

PouGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, May 26.-Mr. c.
N. Rowley, a wealthy and retired gentle
man of this city who has just returned
from an extended tour through Mexico,
says that there is studied indifference on
the part OF Mexican officials TO anything
American, owing to the well defined under
current feeling running through the Repub-
lie at what isconsidered gross insult by our
government in shelving the report agreed
upon by the respective commissioners OF
the two governments, General Grant being
one of them.
The articles selected by Gen. Grant which
should be free of duty entering Mexico
were those representing many of our lead
ing industries, and the Mexican Govern
ment acted honestly in the matter, indors-
ing the report OF the Commissioners. But"
said NJ. Rowley. when the action of our
Government through the manipulations of
Mr. Morrison OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee. in refusing the paltry appropria-
ton of SIS, 600 to defray the expensesIof the
Commission. thus killing the proposed rec
iprocity, became known 10 the Mericans.
il was but natural that the authorities of
that country should consider it an affront
lily IN keeping with what belongs to great
Nation. England, Germany and France
and other foreign Nations enjoyed q mo-
nopoly of the trade of Mexico"
