Colonel Severn had gained Elaine's
consent to speedy marriage; and It
had been arranged with the vicar that
his daughter should follow them very
shortly to the seaside place whittier
they were going, and that Charlie Severn
should accompany her as her avowed
lover. So far all seemed bright enough;
but Elaine could not enjoy her assured
happiness while the housekeeper was
present to remind her Of the dark page

on Gerald Weare's account as she had
been on her own, and thought 1t point

was afraid to be intrusive or imperti-

both feel her power. She was aware
that they could afford to defy her II they
chose; so she remained quiescent, trust

and that this, according to the promise
made, would be doubled.

LAID UPON THE SHELF.

Allegheny Police Magistrates Got . Black
Eye-The Matter of Districtin= the City
Indefinitely Postponed - Think They
Will Cost Too Much.
Allegheny's prospective police magis-
trates were again laid on the shelf last
night. The sub-fnance committee in charge
of dividing the city into police districts and
fixing the salaries of police magistrates met
last night. Charles Simon presented aplan
ofdivision to make the First district comprise
the First four wards and fixing the salary
at 81 200 year. The Twelfth and the pro-
posed Fourte enth wards '(Spring Garden
borough) were to comprise the Second dis
trict, the salary to be 500; the Tenth and
Eleventh wards to be the Third district and
the salary to be S1OO; the Fifth, Sixth and
Ninth wards to comprise the Fourth dis
trict and the salary to be $500, and the
Seventh, Eighth and Thirteenth wards to
be the Fifth district and the salary to be
$500. The total amount for salaries would
be So, OOO
Mr.. Henderson objected to the outlay of
so much money. Two years ago the Mayor
only received 81, 900 per year and attended
to all these matters. Now the Mayor re-
ceives S4, 500, and it was proposed to tack
on an extra SO, 900 for work which he could
do.
Mr.. Simon's proposition was voted down,
and Mr.. Nesbit offered resolution that Po-
lice Magistrates were not necessary, and
that the question OF locating police districts
be laid over until such time as the city was
divided into new wards. This was first
adopted and afterward ruled out of order on
the grounds that the committee had nothing
to do with the appointing OF Police Magis-
trates A resolution was finally adopted

ONE MINISTER'S VIEWS.
He Thinks People Should Only Go Il
Church to Worship. -

He Thinks People Should Cnly Go to
Church to Worship.
A gentleman, prominent in church work
and we'll known as a protesting Christian,
said yesterday: II went to one of the
principal downtown churches on Sunday
and noticed in the congregation, sitting
near the pulpit, two gentlemen, one of
whom I know to be business man in good
standing and constant attendant at church,
although not member. This was the first
time 1 had ever seen him IN this particu
lar church At the end of the sermon, the
minister said: 4 should like all those in
the church who are Christians to stand up.
Nearly the whole congregation, except
these two gentlemen arose to their feet.
desire to be Christians, stand up?' Again
everybody but the two strangers arose.
Another request was put by the minister:
will all those who would like to be
prayed for arise?' For the third time the
congregation responded, with the exception
of the two strangers.
II do not know whether the minister was
angered, but it looked as it be were, for,
looking straight at these gentlemen, he
said: L see two strangers sitting just be-
fore me, who evidently do not care to take
part in our exercises. suppose they were
passing, and just dropped in TO hear what
the minister had to say This was said in
a very sneering tone, and had the natural
effect of making the two gentlemen feel
very uncomfortable. The proceeding may
have been Christian, but it did not strike
me so. I think that strangers should be
welcomed in church, and not made to feel
as if they were unwelcome, simply because
they did not care to stand up Snd make an
exhibition of themselves. 4"

FOURTH NATIONAL BANK,

FOURTH NATIONAL BANK,
PITTsBURa April 25, 1892.
At meeting of the Directors of the Fourth
National Bank, held this day, the following
minute was adopted:
1t is our melancholy duty to record tn g
death OF Mr.. John NJ. Horner, member OF
this Board, which occurred at his residence
in the city of Allegheny on the 23d inst, in
his 10Th year. Mr.. Horner was elected u
member of the first Board of Directors of
this bank May 6, 1864, and served until 1864
He acted in the same capacity from 1867 un-
til 1870 from 1875 un til 1885, and from 1887 un-
til his death. He was Vice President from
1873 until 1885. He therefore served the bank
more than 26 years as Director, and seven
years of that time was its Vice President
He was conscientious in the discharge of the
duties which these positions imposed upon
him, and until recently attended regularly
at the meetings of the Board.
His Judgment was generally correct and
his knowledge of men in business made his
presence valuable in our deliberations. He
was a wise counselor and a good man, and
our associations with him will be pleasantly

Burnett Uses n Knife Freely in an Allegheny
Poo1room.
William Richardson, colored, 18 years
old, was stabbed in the side and back five
times by William Burnett, who is also
colored, in an Allegheny poolroom, about
1890 last night. The poolroom is owned
by Jerry Keys, and is located on South
Diamond street. At the time of the row
the proprietor was away, and young Rich
ardson was running things for him. Burnett
was somewhat intoxicated, and refused to
pay for the games and row followed.
During the scufle Burnett is alleged to
have pulled out pocket knife and stabbed
Richardson five times, twice in the left side
and three times in the back. Officer Cavitt
heard of the row and arrested both parties.
Richardson s cuts are not considered serious

DR.. Eaton Votes Against a Resolution Con-
demninG Sunday Newspapers.
Rev. Dr. c. W. Smith and Rev. W. S.
Oldham, the committee appointed by the
Methodist ministers on the subject of Sum-
day papers, reported at the ministerial
meeting yesterday. They introduced a set
of resolutions that were passed with one
dissenting voice, though several did not
vote. According to the resolutions
the ministers regard the sale of papers on
Sunday rs violation of the laws of God
and OF the State. It is their conviction that
no man can be purchaser without being
particeps criminis.
DR.. Eaton after the meeting said he was
opposed to the resolutions. He does not
believe this is proper time for denuncia-
tion. He believes in the cessation of labor
on Sunday, but wanted to know if the
papers could be distributed more quietly.

There is likely to be more trouble in
Allegheny over the commitment fees On
Saturday Mayor Voegtly notified Superin-
tendent Muth that he wanted these fees
turned over but Chief Murphy and Super
intendent Muth have so fer refused to
comply. The Mayor is acting on Judge
Porter's statement in the ex-Mayor Pearson
trial that these fees belong to the city.
City Solicitor Elphinstone said last night
the fees belonged to the detectives He
said when this matter was brought up last
winter an ordinance was passed giving all
officials are resting on this and will not
give up unless ordered by court to do so.
1t is not likely the question vii! be agitated
much just now as the new Mayor is to be
elected to-day and Mayor Voegtly has said
he hoped that Nh. Kennedy would take the
office the day after the election.
