the Presbytery.
When the matters in controversy between
the adherents of Rev Mr.. Curtis and Rev.
Nj Woodwork of the Wood bridge Church
were brought up in the presbytery yester-
day the friends of the absent pastor rallied
TO his defense and completely routed the
members Of the congregation who desired to
have his pastoral relation terminated
Alexander Nicholson, one of the trustees,
made a statement IN behalf of TIE absent
clergyman to show that he had been en-
tirely honorable in his relations to the
church, and that when he found he would
have to 90 to Sydney he set about to lift the
debt of the church. He admitted that the
church needed money, but the amount is
small-nOt over $500.
The committee on conference, who at
tended the meetings at the Woodbridge
Church on Sunday, reported the facts with
out recommendation, in view of which no
action was taken beyond requesting the
trustees to make some arrangements with
the Hibernla Bank looking to an extension
of time for the payment Of the interest on
its debt
BY request the time for the meeting for
conference with the Pacific Presbyterian
Union was changed from Thursday, the
25th INST, to Tuesday evening. March l.

BROWN HAS GONE.
Sidney Bells Detective Enjoying

A Claim That He Obeyed All the Orders of the

YES" said Win NJ. Clemens. yesterday,
"THE CALLS article week before last was

does not intend to return-at all events, al
present. He finished up all his business In

" No. you are mistaken about that" sad
Mr.. Clemens when the reporter inquired
how Detective Brown expected to avoid the
consequences of disObeyiDg a court order.
Brown Obeyed every order of the court
When Judge Murphy, three weeks ago,
di rected him by name to appear in court the
following Friday, he did so. On that day
the testimony for and against the appllea-
ton Tor a new trial was closed and nothing
remained but the argument. Brown was
not called on; neither he or any other Wit
ness was directed by the Court to appear at
any time afterward though that had been
Judge Murphy's custom up TO that particu-
lar occasion, and the case went over TIL the
following Friday fer argument
Under the impression that his work was
finished Brown went off for holiday, and
is doubtless by this time at his home ] II
Ohio. He had no intention to evade any
thing aud if his presence is needed here l
know lie viii return.
"Nu. | don't think he will return at the
request Of the prosecution. But if the In
terests of his client demand it he will come
back at once"
In conclusion Mr.. Clemens said that the
prosecution had subpenaed him. DR.. Easton
and others 10 appear on the Friday subSe-
quent 10 Browns departure. Now, II the
Court had ordered the witnesses to be IN
court that day these new Subpenas would
not have been necessary, which proves,
he said, "the double fact that the Court
made no such order at the previous sitting,
and that Court, lawyers and witnesses were
all of the opinion that the case was closed. -

With Flower in Her Hand She stations

n Train.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. IA
woman was killed Sunday morning by
an incoming passenger train on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
railroad under circumstances which
seem to indicate a most dreadful form
of suicide. AS the train came in at
thirty-mile an hour rate the woman
walked upon the track, and paying
no attention to the warning whis-
ties stood still until she was struck
by the pilot. The blow was dread
full one, and she was thrown over
mile post distance of thirty-tive
feet. Her neck, back, shoulder and
seven ribs were broken, and several
minor injuries inflicted. In her hand
she had bunch OF Chrysanthemums,
which she claspcd in the death grip.
She was unknown, apparently about
fifty years of age and was poorly dress
ed. The engineer thought she was
drunk but could not detect the smell OF
liquor. The coroner's jury exonorated
the railroad from blame.
