A MYSTERIOUS MAN.
Death OF Strange Member OF Mosby's
Raiders.

There died recently in Texas a man
who was from first to last mystery to
his friends as well as enemies. A crea-
ture of the late war, he knew nothing
Of fear could subject himself to the Sc
verest hardships without murmur,
was surrounded with an impenetrable
mystery, and preserved his incognito
to the last.
He first made his appearance in the
brigade of Gen. Mosby in the confeder-
ate cavalry. He was then man of
perhaps twenty-seven years, tall and
commanding in presence, black hair
and eyes and an exceedingly swarthy
complexion. He was one of the best
riders and shots in that famous COM
mand His face always held its calm;
Etony expression, and he was never
known to be under the influence of ex-
citement of any kind. Soon he was de-
tailed as a scout, and the only name
the soldiers had for him was Whiting
ton, or "Black Wilmington, the scout. "
Though in many desperate hand-to-
hand encounters he was never wound

were implicitly relied on by the officers.
He seemed to avoid company and
would never enter into conversation
with any one, except relative to the
service and the business he had in

finished his report he said: Colonel,

The largest funeral cortege ever known In
Allegheny was that which followed the re-
mains of Chief Edward Armstong to the
grave in Uniondale Cemetery. There wal
an immense crowd present at the house.
Only few could gain admittance. All the
members OF both branches of Councils,
together with many ex-memhers and almost
all Of the city officials, were present. A
larg,' number Of city employees were also
among the other personal friends Of the
dead chief.
The remains were laid out in q black
coffin in the front room of his late residence,
on Taylor avenue, Allegheny. The house
was scented through and through with
flowers Many handsome floral tributes
had been sent by friends. There were harps
and Tyres, columns aud pillows, together
with hundreds of roses sent from the city
conservatories.
Rev. w. +. Conners, of the Arch Street
NJ. E. Church, conducted the servicas and
was assisted by Rev. j. L. Fulton, of the
Sixth Presbyterian Church. w. +. Con-
ners made the first address. He referred to
the sterling qualities which had built up
for Edward Armstrong his reputation and
position. Then he spoke of the great work
just begun and how the city would lose in
the death of so able a man.
Rev. j. L. Fulton. as personal friend of
Mr. Armstrong, then made an address, in
which he said that while Allegheny had
many things in the past of which she was
ashamed. Chief Armstrong had just inaug-
urated an era OF better davs and better gov
ernment. Allegheny had just begun to
feel that Edward Armstrong would place
the city among the best cities of the country,
but God had ruled otherwise, and the city
must bow in submission.
At the conclusion of his address hymn
was sung by the choir of the Arch Street M.
E. Church and the body carried out. The

THE GREAT SPIRITUAL CENTER.
Christ the Attractive Force of the Univers

Christ the Attractive Force of the Universe
of Intellect
Communion services were held yesterday
morning in the First Congregational Church,
Manhattan and Franklin streets, Allegheny,
and seven new members were received. The
subject of Rev. S. w. McCorkle's sermon
was "Christ, the Central Sun of the Spiritual
Universe" and his text was the "Son of
righteousness shall a!ise with healing in
His wings" He first outlined the history OF
the prophesy and followed with the state
ment that not only was Christ TO arise at the
dawn Of the Christian era, but He now arises
and dawns on the world of men as the center
Of the spiritual universe.
There is beautiful and striking anal
ogy," said he, between Christ, the spiritual
sun, and the natural sun of the universe.
In the world Of natural science there is moth
ing more wonderful than the attraction of
one body for another. or the law of gravita-
ton. The sun holds in perfect control each
o. the 100 planets with their moons by means
OF invisible bonds. Each one through ages
has swung IN its orbit without single colli-
sion, because held in leash by the suns
power In the same manner Christ the
great center of attraction of the realms of
the mind and soul, with powers of omnipo-
tent God, holds the greatest and the least of
His children. He expressed His power as a
central sun when He said: Il, if / be lifted
pp, Will draw all men unto Me- As the
sun shines through the mists, so Christ
shines through the churches. There is also
lesson in contrast. The fuel of the sun
must be constantly replenshed, while the
power Of Christ, the central sun, is ever the
same and the fuel is love- No other is
needed, and after sun and systems have
served their uses and decayed Gods love
will remain as mighty as at the first.
As the sun by its power on the earth has
stored up all its sources OF heat and light, so
is found in Christ the sources of wisdom.
Justification, saucti6cation and redemption.
Tie sun shines not alone on the mountain
peak but in the dark valley, the desert, the
swamp and the thistle. So the blessed
Christ shines on all alike. He does not
pass sinner to shine on a saint any more
than the sun negiects the thistle to bathe in
sunlight the beauties OF the rose"

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
Rev. Charles Edward Locke on One of the
Ten Commandments.

Rev. Charles Edward Locke on One of the
Ten Commandments.
A large congregation, which crowded
every part Of the Smithfeld Street Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, last night listened
with close attention 10 a practical sermon
by the PASTOR Rev. Charles Edward Locke
on the subject, Thou Shalt Not Steal. ;"
The speaker, in introducing his subject,
said: Moses did not get the Ten Com
mandments from Buddha, as has sometimes
been charged, for Buddha lived 500 wears
after the great leader o. Israel. He did not
get IT from the wisdom of the Egyptians in
which he was versed, for the princinles n,
the decalogue had not been hinted in Eryp-
tian philosophy. They must have come
from God, for as the natives of the world
move maesticaily up the slopes of Sinai
they reacn attitudes of justice and equity
euioined and promised in the decaloppe
The right to live is inherent, but it has oply
been as the light from Sinai's gIistenip1
summit breaks out over nations that any
proper estimate is made OF life. Suttee is
abolished, as India catches glimpse OF the
divine purpose.
The sixth commandment forbids taking
life by insufficient precautions. 1t forbids
duels, prize fights, gladiatorial shows and
aA games which are menace to human
life. 1t would be interesting TO know Just
how far the sixth commandment interdicts
England's game OF football and our national
game oi baseball. Let the games go on, but
such adjustments ought to be made as to
protect lie and health. 1t forbds homicide
and suicide. Capital punishment does not
transgress this law, for God Himself has
fixed the forfeit Of life as the only ADEQUATE
punishment for taking lie.
The day will come when the wars be.
tween the men of muscle and the men of
money will be superseded by arbitration. 1
have genuine sympathy for the $4,000 men
who are seeking, by the present methods, to
secure what they claim to be their rights.
But when We shall have entered
upon the era of the arbitrament of
antagonisms between capital and labor il
will be regarded as one of the greatest Of
anomalies that workingmen ever lost day's
work while differences were being djusted."

Lines Of Analogy Between the Sun and the

OTHER PULPIT TOPICS OF YESTERDAY

Rev. ]. G. Townsend, d. D., at the close
of his sermon yesterday morning, rendered
his resignation as pastor of the Unitarian
Church, as stated several days ago in THE
DISPATCH he would probably do. The
congregation very reluctantly accepted the
resignation. DR.. Townsend will leave June
for jamestown, n. Y, where he will be-
come pastor of the Independent Congrega-
tioual Church, of which he was the founder.
The Unitarian congregation is considering
several new pastors 1t is thought the
choice may fall on Rev. Howard MacQueary,
now of Canton, o.
DR.. Townsend preached yesterday on
"The New Birth" He said: "I invite
your attention to simple, calm statement
of the genesis Of the new birth. There are
more mystical, nebulous statements of the
new birth than of any other doctrine of
Christianity. 1t is supposed to mean that
the old and depraved nature is taken out
and a new nature given to the soul, or in
other words, there is an organic change OF
faculty. The new birth in the old teaching
is a real miracle. 1t starts upon the assump-
tion OF total depravity, which is a medieval
mystery. The new theology shows the two
fold tendency in mantle spiritual and
animal tendency. This is taught by Paul,
and by Shakespeare in that beauti ful drama,
"Prospero and Caliban." Prospero shows
the higher, Caliban the lower tendency.
Mans true life is found in obeving the
higher sentiments OF his nature. The mission
of the seed is not to live only in its roots,
but to rise in the sunlight, and by lovely
habit, build its beautiful architecture of
stem and leaves and buds and flowers. 1t
is mans nature to rise into the realms of
art, science. literature, religion, goodness.
When he is governed by the law OF love, he
is among the twice-born ones. The new
birth should be taken out of the magic or
miraculous realm and shown TO be as natural
as the growing of stalk of corn.
Nor do l deny the place of the di-
vine. In the transitions of the plant do
deny the ministry of the sunlight? 1 rec
ognizs the wind of the spirit which blowetb
where il listeth and listeth TO blow into the
sails of every noble purpose, on whatever
soul-sea the sails are spread. As out of the
depths of immeusity come influences from
star and far Of nebula, so from the great
storm throne of the Eternal blow those as
piratious which change at last society,
church and nations
Il well remember when a child how the
doctrine of the new birth was taught, so
harshly and unnaturally. 1t was some
thing | was very much afraid to have and
very much afraid not 10 have. didn't
then see how natural and beautiful the
transition was. Suppose it stated in this
way. Except n man works he cannot come
into the kingdom of wealth. i say to the
rosebud, unless you open and blossom YOU
cannot come into the kingdom Of roses Un-
less a man becomes good he cannot enter
into the Kingdom of Heaven"

RETRIBUrIoN AFTER DEATH.
Future Rewards and Punishments for Al
Upon Earth.

Future Rewards and Punishments for All
Upon Earth.
Rev. E. Z. Donehoo, at the Eighth Pres
byterian Church last evening, preached a
vigorous sermon, taking Matthew xiii, 80
as his text, and saying, during the course
of his remarks: Hell is is not pleasant
word in ears polite, nor is the idea sug-
gested congenial one. A generation ago
hell was a verv familiar word to church-
goers. A minister felt it incumbent on all
occasions to hold his congregation generally
and seyerally by the nape of the neck over
the mouth of the fiery gulf 1t is comfort
ing to ieel that it is not the hell of the hymn
writer or theologiap, the hell of Dante or
Milton, which should so much concern us.
as the he'll of the Bible. It is well to know
just what the Bible has to say on this
unpleasant topic, a thought which has
filled many a timid soul with the
greatest distress, and possibly driven many
to profess religion, not through any par
ticular love for its services, but rather
through wholesome dread OF shell fire"
and its attendant horrors of adamatine
chains and wrathful demons. In the Old
Testament the word sheol is translated hell
in 81 passages. Hebrew scholars agree that
oncol. III luc liIouSHlS u Tile duCicht pCopic,
was simply the underground world, where
everything mortal descends, the gathering
place of the dead, irrespective of character
or deserts. Hades, in the New Testament,
is a word Of similar import with sheol, and
is translated hell in 10 passages. Gehenna
is found IL times in the New Testament, and
translated by the word hell or hell fire.
The use which Christ makes of this word
evidently refers to a retrbution after death,
the extent, or location of circumstances of
which not being precisely defined. Peter
once used the word tartaroo, which is SIM
ilarly rendered.
This thing of constructing hell out of
our own feelings of revenge or prejudice
and holding it up as terror before the eyes
of the timid is prolific of no possible good.
This much we are plainly taught by Christ;
that there is a place of future rewards and
punishments. The abodes of the righteous
and the wicked are separated by an impass-
able gulf which only Gods mercy can span.
This place of punishment will be banish-
ment from Gods presence and from the
company of the Cody. However long or
short this punishment may endure, it is suf-
fciently revealed to warn any and ali from
trif1ing with Gods mercy. and SHINING away
their day of grace. Only one lair oppor-
tunity will be given any to flee from the
miseries of hell, and we who have had
abundant opportunity in this life need hope
for no opportunity when this probationary
state is ended"

to erect several large fat or apartment
honses in this city, on an elaborate scale,

had in view to build d $4,000 apartment
house in Pittsburg, but SO far no signs of
such building have appeared. That such
houses would pay in this city there is no
