eco ACQUITTED.
A Verdict Rendered After seVen and a
ISalf Hours Deliberation.


walt Hours De1iberatiOn.
The jury in the PEG murder case, which
went out at 1915 o'clock on Saturday
morning, came in at 8 45 o'clock in the
afternoon, after being out seven and a
half hours, and rendered a verdict of not
guilty.
The verdict was received by the many
friends of PEG who were present with
cheers and applause, which were with
difficulty quieted by Crier Smith.
The prisoner was discharged. and with
his counsel, Mayor Harrington, heartily
thanked the jury for aequitting him.
On his way out Of the Court House he
was met by his wife, and after a
touching greeting the two went home. At
o'clock PEG was receiving the eongratu-
latisns Of Manuel Richenberger and
other friends at Front and
Market streets and in the evening he dis
pensed peanuts and dates at his stand as
If nothing had happened.
The verdict was a surprise to many
who confidently expected a verdict Of
granddaughter at first and then when the
jury remained out so long, looked for a
disagreement. The weight of testimony,
however, was that the prisoner made
every effort to escape from the murdered
man at the,outset Of the trouble at least,
and the jury acquitted him on the ground
of self defence.
The jury sent word to the court at 3
o'clock that they could not agree, bat
the chief justice sent word to them to
keep on trying After that no one ex-
pected a verdict About 3 o'clock the
:. jury sent word TO the court again that
they could not agree and asked to be
discharged. The court said that unless
they agreed quickly court would adjourn
and the jury would have to remain out
until to-day. In fifteen minutes a YER
dict was agreed upon.

sermon 10 the q. A. hi

Rev. Daniel Green of Newport, veteran
of the late war, preached before the G.
A. R. at Asbury Church last evening
He took as his text part of the 18TH
Psalm: Search me, o God and
know my heart try me and know my
thoughts aud see If there be any wicked
way in me and lead me in the way ever
lasting. He said in part 1--WE must have
correct theories of life to have correct
life, yet our theories may be right and
our life wrong. II is easier to preach
than to practice. The theory of our life
is that God sees us. We 60 out in life
and act as If this is not so
would impress this fact on you Thou
God seest me. do not believe that a
man should underrate himself, and al
though l like humility l don't think a
light should be put under bushel Let
us search our hearts with common sense
that God has given US. These comrades
before Us haze been fighting the battles
of our country. Shall these comrades of
mine 60 on in life with any
wickedness in their heartsf God
will search us to weed out the bad and
put in the good. We want Christ to lead
us in the way everlasting. Comrades,
are you walking in the right way7 It is
the way in which the fathers trod. The
world did not understand the men Of old
time who trod this way. By and by IL
you tired the way you shall be discharged
from service and will be admitted to the
eternal welcome

Foundation of the Church.

Foundation of the Church.
Rev. E. G. Knight Of Salem, N. j..
preached at Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church at both services yesterday. His
morning subject was: "The Foundation
Of the Church and the Power of the
Keys" His text was: st. Matthews.
xvi: ID, 10, concerning what the people
called Christ and Peters reply, at which
Jesus said: And | say unto thee. that
thou art Peter, and upon this rock | will
build my Church and the gates of hades
shall not prevail against it. And l will
give unto thee the keys of the
kingdom of Heaven and whatsoever
thou shalt bind ON earth shall be bound In
heaven and whatsoever thou shall loose
on earth shall be loosed In heaven. The
speaker stated There are many things
affirmed of Peter, which have little
foundation. The Apostles never under
stood him to be raised so high, and 1t is
significant that his repentance after the
denial of Christ, was severe. Some de-
nominations claim an Apostolic Success
sion: that all their bishops are descended
from Peter, the great head. Whatever
may be the claim to Apostolic Succession,
II Il cannot bring many souls to Christ,
II is no more the church
of God than our church. The
rock on which was built the church
Of Christ represented changed charac-
ter. Every member who shares Peters
faith shares in this change on which was
built the church. 1t teaches that great
doctrine of a regenerated church mem
bership. The power of the keys is aptly
shown. Peter could admit or deny.
Whatsoever thou bindest on earth, 1t
shall be bound in heaven. 1t is the old
doctrine Of liberty Of conscience, that for
which martyrs died The Church Mill
tant shall rise to the Church Trium-
plant and there shall be ample room for
you and me by the side of the throne Of
fiod "
