RENOUNCED PSESBYTERI AMI SNi
Rev James Ecob Leaves The Church
on Account OF the Briggs Case.
ALBANY, n. Y, June 4.-Eev JAS.
Ecob, of the Second presbyterian
church, in his morning sermon sun
day, renounced his allegiance to the
Presby byterian denomination because of
the decision of the General Assembly
in the Briggs case.
The church is one of the most influ
ential in the city and the gregation
is made up of the most intelligent
lneIl III Olc Guy. AlIeF rev IcWlHE tilc
action of the General Assembly and
arraigning it for its bigOtry he said:
81 leave the Presbyterian church
because it has taken on Il garment
that has lain buried in tAe grave for
more than two centuries. It smells
of earth and of DEATH
He then, with a dramatic gesture,
said: Il brush it off forever.
He gave his reasons for leaving, say
ing that he considered that a further
battling of the questions would be
but a guerilla warfare, with but little
hope for success for the minority.
He characterized the General rs
sembly as the most ihtoIeraut, big
oted and reactionary body Of all rclig-
iOus denominations"
He advised that the liberal element
in the Presbyterian church unite with
the COngregationalists. the Gumber-
land Presbyteriaus, the Free VIII
BaptistS and the broad wing of the
Episcopal church to form the great
Free Church of America
At the close of the service, Or.
EcOb was surrounded by his congreEa.
tiOn, the great majority Of whom eN-
pressed sympathy with his views.

MRS. HARLAND'S VIEWS.

She Declares the Midwintsr VIII Be a
Decided Success.
Mrs. Hester A. Harlsnd, who gave a
lecture at the Congregational church
last evening, wss the secretary OF the
board OF lady managers OF California at
the worlds fair.
Mrs. Harland Is very attractive, in
telligent woman. She entertains most
enthusiastic views of the success of the
midwinter fair, and is certainly capable
OF Judging. She was in Chicago from
May until within few weeks before
the closing of the big show.
On being asked to give an opinion oi
the success of the midwintsr fair, Mrs.
Harland was very emphatic in declaring
that it could hardly be otherwise than
successful, She looked at success in
three ways.
In the first place, she said the fair will
be success from an exhibit standpoint.
1t will be decided success In attracting
persons who would not otherwise visit
California this winter, and it will be and
has been equally successful in giving
employment to Thousands of men. The
latter item alone, she contended, was
well worthy OF consideration. The EN-.

those who actually do the work, but aids
in circulating money among others.

| CRANK CRACKS A CANE,
James Taylor Knocked Down
in the Street.
The Assault by Jose Armateze, q
Dangerous Crank.
Jerked the Cane from Mr. Taylor and
Hit Him Across the Head.
He Wanted
Money.

Every body had begun to think that
the .'crank" season was about over, but
the arrest of one of the species yester-
day has tendency to dispel the belief.
Los Angeles has been particularly
fortunate in the absence of cranks who
have committed serious trouble, the
latest captured being the worst encoun-
tered.
About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
Mr.. James Taylor. an elderly gentleman
who has been connected with the City
of Paris store for nearly 10yesrs, at
tempted to cross Main street, near the
junction OF Temple and Spring.
Following closely behind Mr.. Taylor
was an Italian pencil peddler named
Jose Armateze. The erratic peddler
came up behind Mr., Taylor unnoticed.
Without the slightest warning he jerked
q heavy gold-headed cane from Mr..
Taylor and struck him heavy blow
across the head. The blow knocked
him to the pavement and for time rem
dered him unconscious. The cane WAS
broken to splinters.
Mr.. Taylor was taken into a drug
near by, where it was found that bad
wound had been inflicted across the
head extending to the forehead. From
the long deep cash the blood flowed
fseely. He was sfterward removed to
the receiving hospital, where Police
Surgeon Bryant attended him.
Armateze had by this time been taken
in charge by Officer Pawling. At the
police station he attempted to give q
reason for striking the old gentleman.
He was laboring under the delusion
that Mr.. Taylor was a Jew and owed
him an immense sum of money. He
appeared 90 erratic that he was ct first
taken to be crazy. His actions told
that he was suffering under at leaet
temporary mental arrangement. The
only thing he would cay was that Mr..
Taylor must pay him the money.
The incident is very peculiar from the
fact that Mr.. Taylor had never seen Ar
mateze before and could give no possi-
BILE reason for the assault. He did not
even see him when he crossed the
street.
Armsteze was locked in the city pris-
on and close watch is being kept upon
him.

SALT RIVER VALLEY ORANGES

The First washin ston Navels Received
in San Francisco.
San Francisco Examiner: The Ari-
zona Improvement company, having an
orange grove near Phoenix, in the Salt
River valley, Arizona, have shipped to
San Francisco quantity OF navel or
aDges-the fret ripe navels received in
the market this year. These oranges
were picked November goth from the
improvement company's groves, and are
believed to be the very first oranges
matnrsd in the United States. The
color and flavor of them are remarkably
good, and their size is all that can be
desired for the best trade.
The fact that the Salt River valley,
Arizona, can ripen oranges 80 early and
produce such fine fruit, is likely to be a
great attraction to settlement in that
region, and it certainly contains q sug-
gestion to the California growers that
they must be on their mettle. The
trees from which these oranges were
picked we're planted in April, 1889, and
were two years old when planted. A
small crop was taken uf them in No
