MlnersvlIle Capitalists Have Solved the
Vexed Problem.

MlnersviIIe Capitalists Have Solved tht
vexed Problem.
Councilman Samuel Duncan, of the Thir'
teenth ward, and a member of the Allegheny
County Light Company, has, it is reported,
gone to New York to contract with elec'
tricians to build the Pittsburg, Knoxville
and Troy Hill Electric Parachute, Block
and Tackle and Life Insurance Railway,
the stockholders being mainly Minersville
capitalists. The company will string two
12-inch cables from Mt. Oliver to Gazzam IS
Hill, thence to the bluff overlooking Twen-
ty-eighth street, thence across the Allegheny
river to Troy, Monument and Observatory
Hills in Allegheny. Half way over the
Allegheny river there will be switches, on
which the cars Will run to their several des-
tinations.
Passengers along the line who wish to
take the aerial route will be hoisted by means
of an electric block and tackle arrangement,
and they will no longer sing 81 wish were
a bird, for they can then fly without wings.
Each car will seat 20 people, and when
passenger invests nickel in ticket he will
be furnished with parachute and an acci-
dent insurance coupon, the latter attached
to the ticket. These are expected to come
in handy to the family of the passenger
should the cable break.
There is but one obstacle in the way. and
that is that an opposition company has
taken out patent by which the passengers
pantaloons are CREASED, and he slides to his
destination on a rainbow, but as this COM
pany can only operate when the meteorolog-
lcal conditions are favorable to the manu-
facture of rainbows its competition will only
be periodical, and the MinersvilIe Aerial
Electric Light Insurance and Parachute
Company hopes by uninterrupted service to
Knock its opponent out.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW CASTLE, September 20.-The proceed
ings of the United Presbyterian Church Con-
ference. now in session at New Bedford, this
county, were enlivened when the report of the
Allegheny Theological Seminary was read,
1t embodied series of resolutions
advising young men of ability to attend the
seminary in order to swell the ranks for the
ministry. These resolutions kIndled the smoth-
cred sentiments of some of the delegates pres
ent. The Rev. DR.. Wallace opened the discus
sion, remarking that he had been told of the
existence of faith cure doctrines at the college,
He had heard that one of the professors was
fond of preaching certain sermon devoted to
the faith cure doctrine. DR.. Robinson of al.
legheny, took the floor. He is connected with
the seminary and knew Just what was taught
there. and the faith cure was frowned down
aud there was not single heresy. He denied
every charge or intlmation.
At this point Butler county minister arose.
and proceeded TO talk about Prof Greer of
the seminary. The speaker stated tnat he
had heard the sermon referred to preached on
two different occasions, and thought it full of
heresy. Mr.. Greer must have changed his be-
lief greatly within the past few days, as the
speaker had heard the sermon lately, and it ad-
Vocated faith cure. At this point the discus
sion closed, and the resolutions were passed

SCRANTON, Pa, May 25.-The Scran-
ton City bank closed its doors this
afternoon. At meeting of the di-
rectors to-day it-was found that the
financial affairs of the bank were in
very bad shape, great deal of money
having been lost by investments in un-
profitable coal lands and in loans made
on insufficient security. Several Of
the directors were of the impression
that the vice president. George A. Jes-
sup, who is also acting cashier, is more
guilty than really appeared. and one
of them went before an alderman and
swore out warrant for his arrest,
charging him with embezzling s1OO, 600.
Mr.. Jessup gave bail in $4,000. the
president of the bank, DR.. B. II. ThrOOp,
becoming his surety. At meeting OF
the directors this evening, Joseph II.
Gunster was appointed assignee, and a
force Of clerks will commence work on
the cashiers accounts on Monday.
The directors say the cashiers books
are in such shape that they cannot tell
how much money is unaccOunted for,
but they think it is between $4,000 and
100000. Mr.. Jessup is well-knOwn
business man. whose reputation has
been of the best. His friends indIg-
nantly deny that he has acted dishOn-
estly, or made private use OF the banks
funds. Mr.. Jessup himself furnishes
the local papers card denying that he
has embeZZled or made use of the banks
money. He says that if it is decided
that he is liable to the bank for GER

property which will make good the de.

In moment the rotten old ambu-
lance is dashing along Third street,
Hudson, behind the toughest and most
dlSSlpated duet of ROZinantes the pound
master has ever overlooked.
Third street in Hudson is a very fine
street, decorated on each side with trees
and sidewalks, and adorned on either
side with the residences of the Hon.

city; Hon. E. j. Matteson, the present
father OF the city; while cows, robins
and dogs. fit back and forth and roll
around the street, making bright
summer morning glorious with their
varied music while the board of street
supervisors are out sounding the lake.
Across the street, apd right in the heart
OF the peace and contentment of the
city, stand the Baptist and Methodist
churches, and neatly nesting by their
sldes are the parsonages of the Baptist
minister, Rev. Mr.. Robert Leslie, and
the Methodist, Rev. DR.. !Tresidder. OF

They are both equally handy to nervous

The load of love about ten minutes
above referred to rolls up under
bower OF adoleScent foliage in front of
Dr. LeSlle's cottage, and the truant pair
make break for the door, the young
man leading the way, closely followed
by his betrOthed. A yank or six at the
door bell and the venerable clergy
man opens the door. his countenance all
agloW as he sees the twain and suspects
their mission, not forgetting that it
may mean a couple remnants of the
long green to his unlined pocket. AS
the couple reach the parlor, the man.
tied gentleman intuitively drags a Bible
out from its lair, and the young man
wonders how the preacher suspected
what he wanted. He mods assent, how
ever, too full for utterance, and the
ceremony is performed while

The young husband in his anxiety to

and generally gets himself into dis
