THE EVENING SESSION.
Two Interesting Talks on the Matter of
Home Missions.

There was a fair sized audience at the
evening session of the Synod, which was
devoted to the consideration of the work of
Home Missions, and was addressed by able
speakers. 1t is to be regretted that there
was not larger gathering present, but II
was owing in part to the fact that many of
the local workers had urgent religious du-
ties preparatory TO the Sabbath.
Upon calling the meeting to order DR..
Mitchell, of the Northumberland Presoy-
terry. as chairman of the standing COM
mittee on Home Missions, read the report
of that committee which set forth in an IN
teresting manner the work of that body.
Rev. William Irving, ID. D., OF New York,
was then introduced, and he said 1t afford
ed him a great pleasure 10 address the
people on this important subject IN this
large. strong and earnest church. After
speaking of some of the work that had
been done, he came almost directly 10 the
finances, and deplOred the fact that the
Board was woefully short of funds. But,
Notwithstanding the financial depression,
there are many encouragements
in the review of the work.
He spoke of the large number of people
that are being benefited, and especially
of the great cohorts OF children who are
growing up under the fruitful, efficient,
and Christian-like influence of the Board
-Four years ago we had 66S missions, and
we expended for the carrying on OF these
missions the sum of S660,0O0; this last year
we paid out SS99, 900 for 2.O6S missions. The
work of the mission is expanding in area,
and the speaker then touched OF the differ
ent missions he had personally visited IN
the United States, starting OF with an
alluson TO the mission OF Sitka, Alaska,
where there is church OF 300 cOmmuni-
ba, cnp1ra pf tho mission that
is established in the depths of the Cherokee
forest in the Indian Territory, and
on the wild and debased counte-
nances Of the pupils were seen
the marked effects Of Christian training.
The speaker also told of the mission IN the
western part of North Carolina, where the
subjects lived almost under cliffs and In
the mountain Businesses. 1t was here that
the Board had established mission, and at
a place where no other Christianlzlng
agency had ever been planted. According
to the work mapped out by the Board;
there will be large Number OF men needed
for new fields as soon as we can get the
money. The speaker dwelt at some length
upon the lack ef money. and made IN earn
est appeal TO the pastors TO DO what they
could in the matter
The next speaker was Rev. T.. NJ. White,
d. d.. of New York, who spoke on the
matter of church extension connected
with Home Missions He thought that more
churches could be built consistently. and
urged that all take hold of the matter and
help it along. He referred in the course OF
his remarks and by way of spurring his
brethren on to renewed efforts, to the fact
that the Methodists and Lutherans were
building twice as many churches as the
Presbyterians.
The session closed shortly after nine
o'clock.

two miles in length.
The city donned the garb of mourning
out of respect to the memory of the hon
ored dead Public and private buildings
were covered with black and presented
somber appearance, but high wind
during the early morning destroyed the
decorations. All along the line of march
over which the funeral procession moved

He Had wronged Her.

QUINCY, LIS. lctober lS.-One of the
most sensational s-5oting affrays that ever
occurred in this city took place on one of
the principal business streets early this
afternoon. Dan G.. Price, of Salina, Kan
sas, was fatally wounded by Lizzie Booth,
of Camp Point, and the young lady was
shot by Price. Accompanied by his broUh-
er, Price was walking down Sixth street,
soon after dinner, when Miss Booth crossed
the street, and placing the muzzle of a
large revolver against his back fired
Prices brother grappled the young
woman. the wounded man running
into store; but he Immediately returned
10 the sidewalk and shot her down. Price
died soon after the shooting, but Miss
Booths wound is not necessarily fatal
The Price family and the Booth family are
among the most prominent in this county
About year ago young Price went to Sa-
lima and engaged in business. During the
past summer Miss Booth followed him to
kansas and commenced proceedings against
hlm for illegitimate parentage, but he was
acquitted and returned to Quincy. Miss
Booth also came back to her home at Camp
Point, and the two met to-day for the first
time since the trial.

OVER THE OCEAN.
GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE CITIES OF LYONS
AND BORDEAUX, FRANCE.
A Bordeaux Deputy Says That He Viii Ask for
Retaliation on America for the Tariff Bill.
Other People Have Other Views il Re
gard to Retaliation Measures.

Paris, October lS.-There has been great
excitement during the week at Lyons over
the new United States tariff law, and at
Bordeaux the license deputy has given
notice that he will in the Chamber demand
retaliation for the increased duties on
French goods. He will especially propose
that retaliatory duty be placed on petro-
lium, and will suggest that boards of in
spection be established for the examination
of all imports from the United States. On
the other hand, the committee for
the defense of the silk market
held great meeting at Lyons
ut which the speaker took the ground that
policy of retaliation was likely 10 DO
more harm than good The meeting was
attended by silk merchants, spinners and
silk workers generally from st. Etienne,
St, Chamind and the entire adjoining re-
gion. Most of the Senators and Deputies
from the District as well as the mayor OF
the city and majority OF the members OF
the Chamber Of Commerce, were present.
The President of the Chamber of Com
merce called attention to the fact that the
adoption OF the retaliatOry policy against
Italy has already cost the Lyonese market
7,50O,0O0 francs worth of business, and has
given Germany an industrial supremacy in
Italy. The Americans, he said. wish 10 eX
port twithoutimporting.
They would see that this was impossi-
BILE, but he would leave them 70 reap the
inevitable fruits of their own bad policy.
IL would be much better not 10 interfere
with these results by any angry steps on
the part of France. Besides the injustice
committed by France and other countries
towards America in the matter Of pork had
led 10 the comforting of extraordinary
powers upon the President of the United
L. Hs 4 -
and might entail dangers to the great
French staple articles of export, particu-
arly wines and silks. The President was
followed by Senator and two members Of
the Chamber of Deputies, all Of whom
spoke 10 the same effect.

HOulangist EXpOsures

PARIS. October lS.-M. Naquet, who for
n long time was one of Boulangers most
trusted supporters. but who announced
that he had abandoned the General, has
made further revelations regarding the in
side history of the Boulanger movement.
NJ. Naquet says that, the resources of the
Boulangist party having become exhausted,
through the extravaganza of the General,
the Royalists, who were secretly support
ing the Boulangist movement, collected a
fund amounting to five million francs.
Half of the fund was, according TO NJ. Ma
quet, contributed by the Count Of Paris
OF the whole amount given by the Royal
lists, the Boulanger party secured but
100000 francs, the remainder being di-
verted by Gen. Boulanger from the uses to
which the subscribers meant it should be
applied.
The Figaro to-day publishes another in
stallment Of its series of articles entitled
Les Coulisses De Boulangism" TO-day's
article is devoted to particulars of inter
views and money transactions between
Gen. Boulanger and the Count of Paris.

composed of three ministers and two elders,
was recommended. The report was adopt
ed
The Committee on Freedmen presented
their report through their chairman, Rev.
j. G. Bolton. The report showed an in
crease in receipts over last year Of S203.15
Rev. Mr.. Kennedy, of Allegheny, spoke at
some length on the adoption of the report,
briefly reviewing the work of the church
among the negroes during the last twenty
five years. He said the negro problem is
an increasing one, and becoming more COM
plicated-a question in the solution OF
which the vital interests of the nation are
at stake Some feel that the negro is prov
identially ordained to occupy subordinate
position, proposition which the speaker
failed to find anything in the Bible to sus-
tain. He said that while the Presbyteri-
ans spent for work in the South smaller
percentage of the gross receipts than the
Baptists and Methodists, the money so eX-
pended was productive of good results.
There are 245 colored Presbyterian church
es in the South, and III colored preachers.
The speaker closed with an eloquent appeal
for funds 10 enable the work to continue
and expand. The report was adopted.
HRev. Dr. Hickman read the report of the
committee in the case of Rev. Mcdowell,
and others, against the Erie Presbytery.
The report reversed the decision OF the
Presbytery, in dissolving pastoral relations
between Dr. Mcdowell and the Stoneboro
church.
Rev. DR.. Wilson read the report of the
committee on Temperance. 1t held that
high license as means of suppressing the
liquor traffic is a complete failure; that the
education of the people, the distribution of
temperance literature, the establishment OF
reading rooms and libraries, and the organi
zatiOn of temperance societies under the
supervision of the Presbyterian churches
are the best means 10 secure the abolition
of the liquor traffic The report also advo-
Gated the enforcement of the law requiring
pupils in the public schools TO be taught
the effect of alcoholic stimulants.
1t was adopted and the balance
of the afternoon was given TO short
speeches on the temperance question. 1t
was announced that Judge Williams and
Ex-Governor Beaver, who had consented to
deliver addresses, could not do so, as the
former mad gone home and the latter was

Jepson discussed the question from medi-
cal point of view, in an address replete
with statistics, showing the effect OF alcO-
holic stimulants. Dr. +. NJ. Turner, of the
State University, delivered a short ad

of the question lay in the education of the
