In Mamoriam.

At special meeting of the Ladies' He
brew Benevolent Association of WheeiDg,
the following sentiments were expressed
and adopted in memory of our much la
mented sister, the late Mrs. Pauline Ros-
enburg, who died at the age OF 10 years,
Saturday night, May 4, 1889.
The demise of our dear and beloved sis
ter, who has been President of our society,
has caused grief and sorrow in every heart
it is keenly felt by each and every mem
Der, and we all, individually and collec
lively, have indeed sustained a great loss,
in being deprived of true and faithful
companion and friend, both in Joy and
sorrow.
Mrs. Rosenberg was true and devoted
wife; she was as kind and tender mother
as ever lived, noble and self-denyiDg
sister and righteous woman in Israel.
Her cheerful spirit manifested itself in her
smiling face, which even death could not
take away from her, and with which she
brought life and sunshine wherever she
went.
Her death creates not only void and
irreparable loss ifher own much esteemed
and beloved family, but it is felt through
out the city among the various denomins-
tons, many of whom gave evidence of this
during her sickness, as well as at the day
of her funeral.
We offer our deepest sympathy to the
bereft family, and we pray that God may
send them consolation and comfort to bear
the visitations and trials Of the world with
calm and pious resignation as it behooves
true Israelites.
1t WAS resolved that the foregoing senti-
ments be published in the Lntelligencer and
REGISTER Of this city, and the same he
spread on the minutes of our society and
q copy be handed TO the family of our de-
parted sister.

THE PETITIONS.

Mrs. Louisa Habberield had only a
casual acquaintance with the two Doctors.
When DR.. Mccoy called on her to sign a
petition against Miss Greenlee, he said she
was not a fiji teacher 10 have in the school.
Witness asked why she was not fit, and
DR.. Mccoy said Mrs. Pipes had said she
had caught her husband and Miss Green
lee in bed, and that since then the Doctor
spent two OF three hours a day with her.
Once after, DR.. Mccoy had called
on witness, and asked if she had
repeated the story he had told. Witness
said no. it was Miss Custer, and then the
Doctor said: well, if she said it, it won't
amount to much, then The Doctor
didn't say why he wanted TO find out.
When the Doctor had called on witness,
witness said she didn't know Miss Green
lee, and wouldn't sign for OF against her.
Then Dr. Mccoy wanted to know if wit
mess approved of that sort of a woman for
teacher and witness repeated she did rot
know anything about her.

versed with him about DR.. Pipes, on two
occasions At the first, DR.. Mccoy asked
witness if he had heard OF the scandal that
was going around. Witness said no, and
asked the Doctor who was in it. The Doc.
tor said he would not tell at that time.
At the second time witness asked about
the scandal, and DR.. Mccoy said it was in
his own residence Witness said he sup
posed he meant Miss Greenlee. The Dec.
tor said il was Miss Greenlee and DR..
Pipes. He said | had better watch
my residence, and | could see for myself,
that DR.. Pipes had been scen coming out
OF Miss Greenlee's esidenee at late hour
of night" Witness told DR.. Mccoy to be
careful what he said, ss he didn't believe
the story, and that witness would be on
the other side Of the question. Miss Green
lee was a tenant in witness house. A
motion BY the defense to exclude this wit
ness evidence WAS Overruled and eX-
cepted to.

Wilson. Overruled and excepted to. A
motion was then made to exclude all the
evidence except so much of j. A. Ankles

part of Miss Bickerton's evidence, on the
ground that it varied from the statements
of the declaration. Overruled and except

amining the notes.
The first question asked the wi ness re-
lated TO the time when she had first heard

was dismissed for the day and the argu-
ment went on.
Mrs. Pipes will be recalled this morning
