DIR. EWING MAY FLOP.

DR.. Donehoo Doesn't Believe in Infant
Damnation - He Wants the Doctrine
Changed-He Also Recommends Mar.
riaZes With Sisters.in.Law.
An important meeting of the Pittsburg
Presbytery will be held next Tuesday in
the East Liberty Church. The delegates to
the General Assembly will be chosen. At
the last meeting DR.. E. r. Donehoo gave
notice that he would ask for the revision of
the article of faith pertaining to infant
damnation. Yesterday the Doctor said he
meant business, and as he wanted to get the
children out of hell as well as keep them away
from it. he thought the doctrine should be
changed.
"At one time" said he, ''the church selected
all the harsh measures in the Bible for its
guidance and rules of practice, and ignored the
mild teachings. Now this is great mistake
and the church is fast getting away from that
idea. God intended that the mild measures
should not be overlooked"
1T is possible" continued the Doctor, that
Dr. Ewing will JOIN us. He hasn't said any
yitation: but if his own people make it too hot
for him we would be glad to welcome him. He
is strong man, and would be an addition to
our church. think he could get q clear GER
tificate. Long ago we knocked out of our
faith the article forbidding marriages with
sisters.in-law. Several of our ministers have
married their dead wives sisters, and am sure
they acted wisely. ] notice that such marriages
are much happier than some others have seen
where there was no immediate relation. When
mans wife dies, if he marry again, it should
be his sister-in-law if they love, because the
new wife will take an interest in the children,
and the breaking up of families, often caused
by stepmothers, will be avoided"

KlLRAIN IN CLOVER.
Wealthy Mr.. Rich Makes a Contract for the
PugilisI's Services.

RICHBURG, MISS, March A-Theoretically
Jake Kilrain is prisoner serving out a two
months sentence for an assault committed on
one John L. Sullivan in Marion county. Prac-
tica!ly he is enjoying full liberty and the gen.
erous hospitality of subjailer. When Jake
left this city for Columbia, the county seat of
Marion, Saturday morning in company with
Charles w. Rich it was the belief that the
efforts Of his friends to secure his release under
the prison contract system had been futile.
Jake was blue and so was Rich. The latter has
conceived warm friendship for the Baltim ore
pugilist, and said he would keep Jake out of
Jail if it cost $1,000. Friday kilograms were
passing between Rich and the authorities of
Marion county. Rich was ordered to produce
Jake before the County Commissioners.
Rich is one of the wealthiest, most popular
and influential young men in Marion county.
and when he undertakes to do thing he usu-
ally succeeds. On meeting the Commissioners
he took off his coat, produced a check book
and began an argument in Jake's behalf. 1t
required two hours of fast and emphatic talk
to gain his point, but he gained it. The climax
to the argument was reached when Rich signed
a check for good round sum, and throwing it
before them, invited the Commissioners to
either accept or reject it, and to be in hurry
about making up their minds. The check was
accepted. The amount of money il calls for is
not yet known. Rich refuses TO say, and the
Marion County Commissioners are equally ret
icent. Jake and Rich returned to this city
last night to be dined and wined by friendly
sports.

FAREWELL TO PITTSBURG.
Mr.. Murray Werner Preparing to Remove to
His New Buffalo Home.


Mr.. Murray Werner, the associate of Mr.. H.
Sellers Mckee in the large investments in the
street railway syndicate line. has determined
to move to Buffalo on April 7, and will take up
his home in that thriving city. whore he has
purchased valuable house. He has already

nue.. and is closing out the extensive business
matters that have engrossed his time during
his many years of business life in this city.
MI. Verner's family will accompany him to
Buffalo without delay.
1t is authoritatively learned that the immense
sum of $40 600 600 is to be invested in street rail-
way systems within a year by Mr.. Mckee and
his associates in the syndicate. The Philadel-
phia capitalist who is putting up good slice of
the money is Mr. e. II. Clarke, of Drexel, Nor
gan & Co. The railway systems of Utica and
Albany. New YORK, are now under considera-
tion, and may be purchased within a few days.
Other cities are under Amusement
The syndicate has an option upon the passen-
ger railway system of Milwaukee at price in
the neighborhood of SS00,000. With antiquated
transit facilities the system produces a fair
revenue, and it is supposed that the application
of modern ideas will work a considerable
change in the amount of receipts. The syndI.
cate is in the position of being in virtual con-
troll of the Thomson Houston motor patent, of
which great things are expected in the way Of
rapid and economical transist.
