Editor Press and Banner:
Allow me to say n word, In all Kindness, In
reference to your usually careful correspon-
dent from this place. He has right to enter
tain whatever views he may choose on the
subject of Instrumental Music In the Wor.
ship of God" That is right which 1 claim
from any one. But I do seriously question
the right of your correspondent to intiict his
views on the subject referred to on the leai-
ers Of secular ecu paper Reaaers nave some
Hundreds Of your readers regard these
views as cranky. exclusive and contrary to the
general sentiment and practice Of the chris
tian world. And it is not probable that any
thing that r. =. g., may say Will induce them
to change their views
Tha book he eulogizes so eXtravagantly has
been noticed In the religious papaers OF the
country and It's fallacies fully expressed.
About the only i'm preston IL makes upon the
minds of most sensible christian people Is tc
satisfy them, II was written by crank Of The
first water. though certainly great and gift
ed man. People may laugh for q few days
over the oldfogy notions OF the book, but 1t
will soon sink into the oblivion 1t so richly
merits.
The views of Or. Girardeau on "Instrnment.

am not aware of Il single organ that has been

except to awaken the pity Of his friends in

of this subject from some other source and
did not get them by reading through the
metaphysical fog Of DR.: Girradeau's book.
1t may be n trivial thing to entertain eccen-

account of the finding of the body Of Tut
Dansford in the Savannah river.
The deceased lived about one mile from the
river. He was called from his house at night
and went off with some one unknown to his
family. Not coming back that night his wife
gave the alarm, fearing that he had been foul

that the place where he was seized could be

for him, had no doubt that he had been
thrown into the river at that place. Several
tracks were plainly seen. It js said the tracks
Of Robert Partow were recognized among The
rest. ,,,
1t is 10 be hoped that the Governor will Of.

MOUNT CARMEL. s. c., May 13, 1889.
At9 O'Clock this A. M. the body OF Tut
Dansford, colored, who was foully murdered
| last Tuesday night, was found floating In
Savannah river near this point. jury OF
| Inquest was lnpanneled and found that he
came to his death by being drowned by un
! known parties. His remains were pulled
ashore and buried on the bank OF the river
| by his friends About two hundred people
were on the grounds and excitement ran high:
Four negroes were arrested on the spot and
one or two since. Our citizens are determin-
ed To bring the perpetrators Of this foul mid
night murder to speedy Justice. The body
presented al awful spectacle TO the eye oi
civilized man: The hands were tied securely
behind his back with his suspenders and a
\ hickory withe and his pants were tied tightly
around his body and Immediately In the CEN
| ter of his back with the same hickory withe
was tied hard and fast 81 large fiat rock which
! would weigh about SO pounds. A handker.
chief was closely and tightly drawn across
| his mouth and fled around his neck used as a
"gag," his drawers were pulled down over his
feet and tied tightly around each ankle. In
| this manner he was cast into the "Hominy
Pot" in Savannah river and his body having
been loosened the previous day by drag
hooks" had risen to the surface and foated
down the river about two miles and just op-
posite the Point, or the town Of Lisbon.
Robert Partlow who is still at large is be.
lieved to be the instigator,if not the perpe.

Mr.. William E. Drake, chairman of the
Building Committee, submitted the plan

in the way of baths and apparatus; a
small meeting room for the associations
meeting and large hall to be rented for
concerts and entertainments.
1t is proposed that the projected build

access from all parts of the city. The
sum of $4,000 is the minimum agreed
upon, but II more can be obtained it will
be utilized.
PREPARING TO BUILD.
The building will not be attempted

that the building can never be mort

ceived a letter from a gentleman stating
that the writer would be one of twenty
to give s., 600 to the building fund.

Mr. Drake told of his experience at the
International Y. M. G. A. Convention re-
Gently held in Philadelphia, and said that
he there heard Postmaster General Wan
amaker say that he greatly regretted that
he had not given more of his time and
money to the work. One of the members
suggested that Mr.. Wanamaker be af-
forded an opportunity to relieve his feel

FIGHTING AGAINST sEwELL.
A Big Delegation of Essex Republicans
at Work in Washington.
.i1aIf 10 IL


Especial to the jersey city Neles.I
WASHINGTON, May Is, 1SS9.-A big dele
cation of New Jersey republicans arrived
here this morning from Newark in search
of offices. The party included ex-Con-
gresham George A. Halsey, Congressman
Herman Lehlbach, City Counsel Joseph
Coult, Chairman of the County Commit
tee Henry NJ Doremus Frederick S. Fish,
]. Frank Fort, Frederick Kuhn, DIR. II. z.
Herold, Alderman Frank M. Parker, Di-
rector Elias NJ. Condit, of the Board Of
FreeholderS; Ambrose Matthews, Assem-
blyman John Gill and William II. Will
Jams.
They want Frank Fort made Solicitor
General and w. R. Williams Collector Of
United States Internal Revenue for New
Jersey This afternoon they will call on
Secretary Window and they will see the
President tomorrow. 1t is therefore likely
that the fight as to whether Gen. Sewell
and South Jersey, or the Essex County Re
publicans and North Jersey shall control
the Federal patronage will be settled soon.
1t is admitted that Fort has a strong
rival for the Solicitor Generalship in X.
Wayne Parker. In q letter written to
Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court,
and sent by him to Attorney General Mil
Ter, Cortlandt Parker says that he has
been all his life an earnest republican. and
has never received any reward for his SER
vices to his party. If he were ten years
younger he would himself be candidate
for appointment as Solicitor General, but
if there were disposition to confer such
appointment upon young men, then he
would consider the obligations of his party
to himself cancelled if the Office were given
to his son, r. Wayne Parker.
1t is not believed that Postmaster Fled
Ter, of Newark, will be disturbed until his
term expires next January.

ON THE SEA OR In THE LAKE.
DIR. Cronin Said to Have Sailed from
Montreal for Glasgow.

DIR. CrOnin Said to Have Sailed from
Montreal for Glasgow.
MONTREAL, May 49, 1S89.-Many lead
ing Irishmen here believe that Cronin
sailed from this city by the last outgoing
Allan line steamer for Glasgow. A per
son resembling him secured passage by
the Circassian for Liverpool, but few
hours before the vessel sailed he re-
moved his effects, saying he was going to
remain here.
An ex-president of the Hibernian
Brotherhood, who formerly resided in
Chicago, says he knows Cronin. He was
working on the Glasgow steamer when
the passengers referred to boarded her.
He says he recognized Cronin, and that
Cronin sailed. Cronin is supposed to
have arrived here ten days ago.
CHICAGO, May 15, 1SS9.-Dr. Cronin' s
friends have decided to drag Lake Michi-
gan for the body of the missing doctor,
who they so persistently declare has been
murdered. The work will begin this
morning. The machine has been retained
and two expert divers will go along with
it to assist in the work. The lake is to be
dragged from a point near the pier off
Chicago three to four miles northward
along shore, and from one and a half to
two miles. out.
I. r. Conklin has prepared a long card
to the public in which he rehearses facts
so far as known, in the Cronin disap-
pearance; brings forward arguments,
with which the public is already familiar,
to show that Cronin's alleged presence in
Toronto. Ont, was fake" and reiter-
ates his belief that the Doctor is the
victim of foul play at the hands of his
onamipl
