WELL, WHO LIED 2
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION SPRUNG IN A
SYNOD.
An Elder Fires Many bot Questions and is Shut
OF by Cries Of "FOul"-Ths Young Minis
tsrs Nay be Taken Back-But Will
They Accept the Conditions?

PITTsBURG, June AT the afternoon
of the Reformed Presbyterian Synod,
DR.. McAllister began the closing speech
of the trial which led to a question OF
veracity between himself and Rev. E.
M. Milligan, the latter finally being sus-
tanned by witnesses.
Moderator McAllister then announced
that questions could be asked, and Elder
Terrence, of New York, put such sharp
and embarrassing queries to the con-
servatives he was shut off at once amid
cries of foul" and "snap-judgment"
from the liberals. A set of resolutions was
then sprung on the Synod offering in
effect to take the deposed ministers back
into the fold, providing they were sorry
and would not do it again. Prof. Will
son then made speech against the
adoption of the resolutions and was fol-
lowed by several other five minute
speeches for and against the resolu-
tions, until the hour of adjournment ar
rived.
The general impression prevails that
the resolutions will pass, but that the
young men will not accept the condi-
tionS.

THE CZAR INTERFERES.
He Orders More Humane Treatment OF
Expelled Hebrews.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 9.-It is semi
officially stated that the Car, having
learned through Grand Duke Sergius
that the Jews expelled from Moscow are
brutally treated, and are not given time
to settle their affairs, has given orders
to the authorities to observe the ukase
which directs that the expulsions shall
be effected gradually in order to enable
the Jews to wind up their business.
correspondent at Odessa says that
the Jewish emigration is increasing
there. Owing to the uncertainty OF the
governments intentions the financial
insecurity is acute, and no banker will
discounts a bill bearing Jews signature.
The public credit is so undermined that
Finance Minister Vischnegradsky has
become alarmed, and has promised to
ameliorate the condition of the Jews,
but the latter place no reliance in his
promises.
A Berlin dispatch says that one the
Russian Jews who arrived in Chariot
tenburg yesterday had been terribly
knouted by polibe official, because the
Jews refused to bow to an image that was
exposed outside a church. The Jews
back was in horrible condition, and he
needed immediate surgical atttehtion,
which was given. The exiles continue to
pour in great numbers into Germany.
At present the number in Hamburg is so
great that many are waiting for passage
on the steamers, there being no room at
present.

GRAFTON, w. VA, June 9.-Thn
Knights of Pythias turned out th-
evening in uniform rank to decorat
the graves of deceased Knights in Blue

cession in front of their hall, headed by

profusely strewn with flowers.

The Jury Were Unanimous.

LONDON, June 9-One of the baccarat
jurymep who was interviewed after the
court had finally adjourned, said that
there was no doubt from the first mo-
ment the jury retired as to how the ver-
dict would go. Each of the jurymen,
he said, was asked as soon as they were
alone whether he was for the plaintiff
or for the defendants, and each reply
was given without hesitation and imme-
diately "for the defendants"
One juryman, the gent leman who was
interviewed, added frankly, admitted
that he undoubtedly sympathized with
the plaintiff but he was so struck with
the unanimty of opinion which pre-
vailed in favor of the defendants that
although he would like to have found
for the plaintiff, he said that he could
not conscientously do so in the face OF
the evidence which had been presented
on behalf of the defense.
The interviewed juryman said in con-
clusion that it appeared to him that the
jury had made up their minds as to the
verdict they weuld render before the
Lord Chief Justice summed up and made
his charge.

the most uninterested spectator in
court. Lord Middleton, his relative,
who is reputed to have furnished the
money for the prosecution, was quite
the reverse. His face became scarlet,
and he seemed hardly able to contain
his anger Sir William, with his arms
folded, looked straight at the jury, as
if merely interested in studying their
general makeup. Mrs. Wilson and her
daughter were quite pale. They seemed
too much excited to fully realize the
meaning of the verdict at first.
Then they seemed to notice that
in the general hubbub no one seemed
to be paying any attention to them,
and they departed almost unnoticed
amid the throng. Sir William Gordon
Cumming coolly donned his overcoat
and hat, and strolled away with Lord
Middleton, many pitying and sympa-
thetic glanceS following him.
The charge of the Lord Chief Justice
is regarded as unnecessarily severe
against the plaintiff. The evidence
was sufficiently one-sided, it is quite
generally remarked, without His Lord
ship throwing his personal interperta-
tions into the scale against Sir William.
The charge is pronounced by lawyers
as practically an instruction to find for
the defendants.

ONE OF THE PITFALLS
That a Young Girl is Liable to Drop In.
Horrible Outrage.


COLUMBUS, O., June 9.-W. L. Carter
and his wife were arrested here this
afternoon on the charge Of committing
horrible crime. Last night Carrie
Bell Culbertson, aged II years, was in
vited to the rooms OF the couple about
o'clock, and went without the knowl-
edge Of her mother. She failed to re-
turn, and search was instituted. Upon
calling at the quarters of the couple
after midnight, they denied that the
girl had been there, but while the lat
ter's mother and brother were at the
door, she staggered from a corner of the
room. She was taken home, but did
not regain consciousness for several
hours. She then told as soon as she en-
tered the room last evening the door
was locked, and she was forced to drink
drugged beer. A physician was called
and an examination revealed that the
girl had been outraged and subjected to
the most horrible treatment, and she
may not recover from the shok.

HE SURPRISED THEM.
Ex-Treasurer Bardsley Makes No Defense
of Charges.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-John Bards--
ley, ex-City Treasurer of Philadelphia,
was brought up from Moyamensing
Prison this morning and arraigned in
the Court of Quarter Sessions, before
Judges Fell and Wilson.
There were II separate indictments,
charging him with lOaning money as a
public officer, deriving gain from the de-
posit of public money, and converting
public money to his own use.
When Bardsley was asked how he
would plead, he pleaded guilty to every
count of the indictment. His rcply ap-
parently surprised everybody in Court,
as it was generally expected that there
would be tedious trial.
District Attorney Graham then ad-
dressed the Court, and stated that in
view of Bardsley's plea, and the fact
that his counsel has not had time to ex-
anime the bills of indictment, he would
not press for sentence being pronounced
at once. 1t was arranged that this day
two weeks should be set for hearing the
evidence for and against Bardsley, and
the Court could then weigh 1t and pro-
nounce sentence.
In the seventeen indictments on which
Bardsley pleaded guilty, the total
amount of money involved is S673, 405.

BY HYPPOLITE'S ORDERS.
Scenes Witnessed on the Streets Of Port
Au-Prince.

New YORK, June "a correspondent
at Port-au-Prince, Hayti, sends the fol-
lows additional details of the recent
massacre, by President Hyppolite's Or
ders, in that city:
Never before was seen so strange
measures taken for the maintenance
of order" The order of the President,
repeated by his subordinates, seems to
have been this: "Arrest and shoot
everybody you find on the streets"
Consequently for two hours we could
see the people flying in all directions to
their houses, while soldiers OF the guard,
Of the line and of the police, in utter
disorder and without commanders, ran
right and left and in all directions ex-
cept, of course toward the prison and
the arsenal, pointing their guus at peo-
pie on the streets, firing at random, and
all seemingly for the glory of having to
say they had killed somebody.
In the space of few minutes we wit
messed, only few PAGES from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Preston, who was for Is
years the Minister Of Hayti at Washing
ton, the murder Of his nephew, soldier
of the white guard, who was shot down
6y a negro policeman. Two men were
arrested and shot, one because he had a
gun The was a soldier of the National
Guard and was running to the defense
of the palace. The other because he
had no gun (he was an enemy because
he was not armed for the so-called de-
fense). And, horrible spectacle, the
Minister Of Finance of the former gov
ernment, reputed to be the most honor
able and peaceful man Of the country,
was arrested as suspect while he was
surrounded by his eight children, was
conducted to the palace to give infor-
nation, if he had any, and was shot in
the back by the six negroes who
Escorted him at the very moment when
he was saluting the Chancellor OF the
French legation.
For several hours they continued
shooting down people who were dis
pleasing to the government or disliked
by this or that chief, including an inof-
fensive Frenchman, whose Haytien
nephew had been taken among the reb-
els and also shot. M. Rigaud, the
grandson of the French general, who
from 1902 to 1903 defended the metrop-
oils against the revolt of the slaves, had
himself registered in 1889 as French
man. The government claims that this
registration was illegal. The case was
brought into the court and, pend
ing the decision of the French
Minister declared by letter
that the name of the young man should
remain upon the list, and that he would
be protected by France. But we see,
nevertheless, that at the close Of the
nineteenth century, a nation which
figures upon the map Of the world Cal
arrest a peaceable man in mis- own home
and shoot him down without any form
of trial. The French feet called for b!
the Minister will be sent on, they say
but will that bring the murdered mar
back to life, and must we still permit
such people to figure upon the list OF
nations?
