Annnsaaworthx Vessel.

ST. LOUIS, September 10.-When the
report was published some days ago
that the U. S. steamer Pensacola was I'M
seaworthy, Mr.. w. II. Belden, OF this
city, whose son is serving an appren-
ticeship on that vessel, wrote him ask
ing for information on the subject. The
reply received was as follows: "You say
that If the ship was not fit to go to sea,
the officers would not let her CO. But
YOU are mistaken. The officers know
she is not seaworthy, but they cannot
help themselves. The situation is this
way: She came here TO go out OF COM
mission, after being only two years out
of the Norfolk navy yard. The same
contractor is here now that was at Nor
folk then, and he would not condemn
his own work after so short time. The
ship is safe enough in fair weather, but
IL she ever gets a heavy blow l would
rather be out Of her. When she rolls
the spar deck goes from one side to the
other and all the seams open."

Strikers Board Train and Drive the Nom
Union Men Of.

PIrrsBURG, September 10.-A Lima,
O., special to the Tri-State bureau, says
the strike of the switchmen OF the Lake
Erie and Western Railroad, is getting
interesting. This morning General
Superintendent Hill told the strikers
that they could either accept the terms
the company offered or get OIL their
premises. The assembled switchmen
refused the offer.
A pony engine No. 40, with George
Fisher, engineer, was put in the yarus
this morning to do the switching. Two
of the strikers boarded the engine ana
assaulted Fisher who proved too mucn
for them and fired them off.
This afternoon an extra freight tram
was started west with 80 loaded cars. A
dozen strikers quietly boarded the train
as it passe through town, and when
about five miles out OF the
city, made q raid on the
train hands who were overpowered.
The strikers then pulled out all links
and pins, threw them into the fields,
drew the fire from the engine and lett
the dlsmembered freight and engine
standing dead on the track. When
Superintendent Hill was informed OF
what had occurred he swore out war
rants for all the men, but when the
Sheriff visited the yards this evening
there was not man to be found who
knew anything abont the affair.

TIE MAuoUEARY CASE.

The time set by Bishop LEONARD
when the penalty OF suspension pro-
nouneed against Rev. HOWARD MAC
OUEARY was to be converted into one Of
deposition unless in the meantime he
made certain pledges, was Tuesday, and,
promptly the following day, the Bishop
made public his decision as published in
our dispatches yesterday. Rev. HOWARD
MACQUEARY is perpetually suspended.
The question now IS, will he continue
the fight and take the case TO the civil
courts?
The decision and opinion OF the eccle-
siastical court and the defnitive sem
tence pronounced by the bishop were
laid by Mr.. MAcQUEARY before G.
STUART PATTERSON, a we'll known
ecclesiastical lawyer Of Philadelphia,
and upon his opinion it is under
stood that Mr.. MoQUEARY's future
action will be based. No opinion was
asked or given upon the charges, nor
upon the evidence, nor upon the sew
eral findings Of the court as 60 the guilt
of the accused, the only question con-
sidered being the legality Of the double
penalty under the canons Of the church.
AS the case is not only of some local in
terest-Mr. McQUEABY being former
West Virginia minister-but Of import
ance as involving a point Of ecclesiasti-
cal law not hitherto considered we re-
produce the material part OF the eminent
lawyers opinion. 1t will be remembered
that the definite sentence as pronounced
by the bishop. dated March Is, 1891,
was:-
ssThat Rev. Howard MAoQuEARY be, and
he hereby is, suspended from the ministry
Of this church until such time as he shall
have presented to the bishop satisfactory
evidence setting forth that be win not
saaoh and publish the views concerning the

WARD LINES RETURNED
At Special Meeting of the School
Board.

Board.
There was q special meeting of the
School Board last night to consider the
matter of changing the sub-district
lines between Union and Clay schools.
A petition had been presented by the
residents on the north side of Fifteenth
street, asking that the former district
line separating Union and Clay be as be-
fore, the centre of Fifteenth street, in
stead of being the alley been Fourteenth
and Fifteenth street, as when changed.
by the change it was claimed that the
schools were irregularly overcrowded,
and the parents were subjected to some
venience in conforming to the
change. BY the restoration of the old
lines the residents on the north side OF
Fifteenth street are again thrown into
the Third ward, such as they desire.
After short discussion the Board
granted the petition, and the lines were
restored.
At the conclusion of the special meet
ing there was session of one of the
subcommittee to talk over the high
school project, and while the details
were not learned, ii is understood that
the problem has reached very promis-
ing shape, to that extent that at the
next regular meeting OF the School
Board resolution will be offered, which
il favorably received, will set the High
School square on its feet.

strel aggregation was accorded a fat
tering reception. There was not a
weak point upon the programme, each
number being strictly first class. AL.
Field and Jimmy Wall won fresh laurels
in their unique and original negro i'm
presentations. The phantom patrol and
drill was very cIeverly done, and well
received. Kibble, the drill artist, and
Joe Lewis, the Apodal wonder, in their
respective specialties, caught on in
great shape. The performance was In
terspersed with clever hits, which had
the merit of freshness, and all the sing
ing and dancing was good. Seldom has
a larger audience greeted minstrel
performance in this city, and seldom has
an audience left better satisfied.

Great snectacular Piece.

"The Last Days Of Pompeii" will
open a two nights engagement tonight
at the Opera House, including Satur-
dav matinee. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer says of this play: "Mr. Palmer
has a play brim full of scenic, spectacu-
lar and ballet effects. There are no
amateurs in the cast, and Mr.. Palmer,
who by the way was the recipient OF
two baskets of flowers-played the part
of the dark Egyptian priest, Arbaces.
His makeup was excellent, he is good
elocutionist, and he had an excellent
conception of the part. William Stuart,
as Apacides, read his lines well. John
Sturgeon has a splendid part in Glaucus
and his opportunities for fine acting are
many. The rest OF the cast was good. "
Seats are now on sale.

CORPeRAL TANNER, Of pension-scan-
dal fame, puts the Republican side Of
the presidential situation thus:
"For myself, 1 believe Blaine will be
nominated IL he keeps his mouth shut, and
YOU will notice that Blaine is doing just
that thing. = - Yes, ] heard a great
deal Of talk among the old soldiers) about
Mr.. Harrison, but il was talk Of kind
that I. as a consistent member Ofthe Meth
odist Church, cannot repeat"
The Corporal, evidently, is still very
sore against Mr.. HARRISON. But he
should bear in mind that it was not
Mr.. HARRIsoN's fault that he was COM
PEELED TO resign the Pension Commits
sionship. Public opinion did it. BE
can console himself with the reflection,
however, that his successor in Office is
as bad as he was, il not worse.

Unfortunate Accident.

Ed. Smith, of Wellsburg, who came
down to take in the Fair, met with a
severe accident near the Pewiky depot
last night shortly after o'clock. Dur
ing the day he had been imbibing
rather freely, and as night wore on he
wandered along the tracks of the
Pewiky, and finally laid down to sleep
under one of the cars on switch just
above the depot. He laid across the
tracks in such way that his left arm
extended across one of the rails,
forming sort of ahead rest. 1t
was not long before he was asleep.
Soon after the 9:20 train from Plttsburg
wheeled into the depot, and as is custo-
mary after arrival, a portion of the new
ly arrived train was backed upon the
switch, and in so doing, the car under
Sidnb- Smith was repoSing was pushed
pass over nTS'snln-sfUr '.---4--- ha-zuhssa.l
ed across one OF the rails. The member
was horribly mangled and almost sever
ed from the body. He was discovered
by one of the brakemen who quickly
notified the proper authorities. He was
taken to the hospital where his arm was
amputated by Drs. Frissell, Baird and
Hildreth.
