London is revealed in the list of sub
jects selected for discussion. In the
first council "Methodlsm2 formed the
principal topic of discussion, but in
this council the programme has been
diversified so as to touch upon CUES
tons of the day. The discussion Of
abstract ecclesiastical dogmas finds
small space, but whole days are
set apart for the considera-
ton Of questions relating to temper
ancc, education, missions, Romanism,
social problems, the issues between
capital and labor, the relation OF
Methodism to scientific thought and
practical church work
The various committees have made
all the necessary arrangements for the
comfort Of the delega es ami the con-
duct Of the sessions. The council will

MORRIS ON TRIAL.
He Is Charged with Shooting Rony
Grain of Lancaster.


The preliminary examination of JUS
tice OF the Peace Morris, of Lancaster
township. ON a charge of assault with
intent to murder, preferred by IRONY"
Grain, commenced yesterday afternoon
before Justice Stanton in the township
court. 1t will be remembered that
Grain was shot in the hands and left
breast with buckshot, through saloon
window in Lancaster, on July 14th, and
that Grain charged Morris, whom he
considered to be an enemy, with having
done the shooting.
Mace Mayes, constable of Lancaster,
was put on the stand, and testified that
he was an uncle of Morris, and kept a
saloon in Lancaster-.the one in which
Grain was shot. On the day of the
shortly before the shots were fired, and
the window reading law book.
There was no one else there. The
next building to the north is Justice
Morris's Office, and the next one Van
Orden & Morris's butcher shop. Shortly
before the shooting, Mayes and man
named Kitchline went to the depot.
On their way back, and when about 125
yards from the saloon, they heard two
shots in quick succession. Mayes ran
to the saloon, but saw no one. He then
went to Hollands house, where Grain
was lying, badly injured. Mayes then
returned to the saloon. The chair in
which Grain had been sitting was filed
full of buckshot, and the bar was also
perforated. The book which Grain had
been reading was still lying on the table,
all cut to pieces with shot.
At this point, G. B. Ladd. the owner
of the book, was called to the stand by
the prosecution, who wanted to get in
evidence. Ladd, who is one of the attor-
neys for the defense, said that the book
was his, but he did not have
it in his possession. The defendant,
Morris, had taken it, so he had informed
the witness.
The defense admitted that they had
the book, but refused to give it up until
they had begun their case.
Mayes was then recalled and de-
scribed the appearance of the book after
the shooting. The witness knew that
the feeling between Morris and Grain
had been bad ever since the latter had
been arrested by the justice for horse
stealing. At O'Clock the case was
continued till 8 a. m. today.

Romieu, the famous Partisan wit was
one day caught in a shower and forced to
seek refuge in a doorway of the opera
house. 1t was o'clock already, and he
had an engagement in the Cafe de Paris
for that very hour. The rain fell in tor
rents There was no carriage to be had.
He had no umbrella. What was to be
done? While he was lamenting his bad
luck gentleman with a large umbrella
passed by Romieu was seized with sud
den inspiration. He rushed out and
grasped the stranger by the arm, and
pravely installed himself under the pro
tecting umbrella.
81 am overjoyed to see you," he imme-
diately began. II have been looking for
you for two weeks. wanted to tell you
about Clementine."
Without giving the stranger time to ex-
press his surprise, Romieu ratified away
with gossip and anecdote until he had led
the unknown companion to the door of the
Cafe de Paris. Then he glanced at him
with face of well feigned establishment.
Pardon, monsieur" he cried; sit seems
| am mistaken"
81 believe So" said the stranger.
Good graciousr' added Romieu. "Be
discreet: don't repeat what | have told
| you"
81 promise you"
"a thousand pardonsP'
| Romieu hastened within the cafe and
! amid great laughter told the adventure to
| his friends. Suddenly one of them said;
"Your crsvat is rumpled."
Romeu put his hand to his neck and
turned pale. His pima valuable sap
phire-was gone. On further examination
his purse and watch were found to be gone
