Alfred Spates Renshaw.

Died, at the residence of his father,
Thomas Renshaw, near Bethesda Presby-
terian church, on the morning of September
18th, 1891, Alfred Spates Renshaw, in the
Oath year of his age. He was thought to be
much better on the day preceding, but dur
ing the night the summons came very sud
denly, and before the morning he had passed
into the unseen world
"The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear,
A mortal arrow pierced his frame,
He fell, but felt no fear
His spirit, with bound,
Left its encumbering clay;
His tent, at sunrise, on the ground
A darkened ruin lay"
Alfred Renshaw was a member of Be-
thesda church, and was giving promise of
usefulness as Christian. A few weeks be-
fore his death-the last time he was able to
be at church-he conducted the Young Peo-
ple's Meeting held in the evening of the
Sabbath.
His character was singularly beautiful.
While of retiring disposition and in
disposed to put himself forward, he did not
shrink from any duty TO which he felt that
he was called. His was indeed "the orna-
ment of meek and quiet spirit" and yet
ne ulu IlOJ ucSllutt W dChUOWlttlR6O OililSb
before men.
1t has been very prevalent popular de-
lusion that some measure of wildness in
youth is generally followed by life of un-
usual energy and success Brilliant excep-
tions to what is really the general rule have
produced this false impression. From early
childhood Alired's character was marked
by sense of duty. Ready to do duty how
ever difficult, and bearing responsibility con-
scientously, with great energy and amia-
bility combined, he was in large measure
the comfort and stay Of those who loved
him.
1t is seldom that any family sustains so
great loss Indeed, the church and the
whole community have sustained loss
which it is hard to estimate.
His death is one of the mysteries of that
Providence which is often as inexplicable
as it is unerring
"With us his name shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,
Our praises and our tears"

Governor Pattison Acts.

The scandals growing out of the defalca-
tions of City Treasurer Bardsley, of Phila-
delphia, who is now serving his term as a
penitentiary convict, have eliminated in
action by Governor Pattison which looks
to the removal of the auditor general and
State treasurer of Pennsylvania for derelc-
tioL Of duty in their relations TO Bardsley.
On Saturday the Governor issued procla-
nation calling the State Senate in extra
session on the 18th of October to examine
the charges against these officials. Under
the State constitution he has the power TO
remove them upon an address of twothrds
of the Senate after due notice and full
hearing. The Governor bases his action
upon the fact that "there is in the public
mind a profound conviction that the offi-
cials referred to, and some of their subor-
dinates, have been grossly inefficient, shame
fully negligent and entirely wanting in due
fidelity" AS the Pennsylvania Senate has
majority of Republicans it is doubtful
whether the necessary two-thirds can be
mustered ip favor of the removal of the ac-
cused officials, both of whom are Republi-
cans, but the Democratic chief executive
has done his duty in calling upon the Sena-
tors to prove the charges, and their failure
to act without Dias in favor of the alleged
offenders would probably have serious
effect upon the party fortunes in the coming
election Bdit0 Sun.
