The fair to be held in the armory OF the
18th Regiment Sumner-ave. Brooklyn, will be
opened on October %. Those having the fair in
charge predict a great success.
1t Is expected that the expulsion Of three members
OF Company of the Goth Regimen, for alleged
d,sorderly conduct will have salutary effect and
guardsmen commend the stand taken by Captain
Thomas Lynch. commandant OF the company, who
preferred charges against the men. The men who
were expelled Prvates Timothy Donovan. Rob-
ert McGunngal and John Cleary. They, together
with Privates George Adams and Thomas Crowley.
II Is said. became too boisterous while celebrating
the election OF Second Lieutenant Keaney. Adams
and Crowley fined SO each.
II the new Merriam pack can be delivered 10

time the First Brigade will be reviewed by Gov
ernor Flower at Van Cortlandt Park on October %.
The desire is the troops participa ting in the
manoeuvres parade just as they would active

the complete field outfit which General Headquar-

THE BRIGGS CASE Up AGAIN.

COMPLAINT OF THE REV. DR.. HALEY. OF NEW
ARK AGAINST THE PRESBYTERY OF THAT
CITY. TO BE HEARD AT TRENTON.
The complain; OF the Rev. Dr. Haley. OF Newark,
against the Newark Presbytery will come before the
seventy second annual session Of the Synod Of New
Jersey which meets in the Third Church. Trenton.
Tomorrow The complaint revives the DR.. Briggs
case At a recent meeting OF the Newark Presby-
terry, the Rev. DIR. Lampman introduced resolution
expressing the idea that the action OF the General
Assembly in the Briggs was unjust. The reso-
luton was tabled. Then the Rev. DR.. Sutphen pre-
sented resolution declaring that the young men
studying for the Presbyterian ministry would be
affected and that the result Of boycotting those who
studied at the Union Seminary might be disastrous.
The Rev. DR.. Haley said that Or. Sutphens reso!u-
ton implied that the Presbytery did not believe that
a judicial decision of the General Assembly was
binding upon the Church and its members. The
resolution adopted. DR.. Haley then gave notice
that he would lay the matter before the Synod

an:admiss;on of 20 cents will be charged,
the proceeds to go toward defraying the ex-
peuses Of the proposed young mems reading
room. In addition to the usual service Of
tea. etc, ice cream aud cake may be had by
paving for them, and the pleasure of the
occasion will be hugely increased by pro-
Crane of music, recitatious, etc, under the
direction of Prof. Jerichau and Miss Lloyd
something nobody will want to miss. The
establishment Of the young mems reading

people are deeply iuterested-Or ought to be,
and we take it for granted they will be glad
of this opportunity to manifest their interest
in a substantial way as well as to be delight
fully entertained.

The golden bowl is broken, the silver chord
is loosed, and the gentle spirit of Matte V.
Turner has winged its everlasting flight to
her Father God Mrs. Turner was the wife
of DR.. Charles B. Turner, Of SnickeTsville,
Loudoun county, Virginia, and the only
child Oft. VI. Osburn. Her death occurred
on Monday morning, August 9th, 1874
She had been sick a few days only with neu-
ralgia, which gave no indication of It's fatal
ending until Sunday evening, when 1t at
tackled the heart. With a disposition as
gentle as the zephyr that is borne on sum
mer's breeze, she was beloved by all who
knew her. Idolized by an aged father and
mother, she has gone before them, leaving
heart broken husband and two little girls,
and with them to mourn her death large
circle of relatives and friends Her funeral
took place on Thursday, and the services
were conducted by Rev E. L. Wilson, as
sisted by Rev. Dr. A. c. Hopkins

whereupon the delegates from that county

The Public Schools.

The session of the Charles Town Graded
School will begin on
Monday, September 10, 1894.
On the first day of the session all pupils will
he enrolled. Old pupils will bring their grade
certificates, and new pupils will be examined
and placed in their respective grades. No charge
will be made in any of the grades for pupils
from Charles Town District. or any of the sub
districts of Charles Town District, and pupils
from other districts will bring their transfers.
1t is impossible TO estimate the disadvantage
NJ late entrance and irregular attendance. 1t
is hoped that pa-rnts will cooperate with the
teachers in helpin pupils maintain good po-
sition in their grades. Parents are, therefore,
urged to remember that success depends upon
prompt entrance and regular attendance, and
also that interruption of study by absence IS
always injurious. Very small pupils will not
be retained six hours per day.
BY order of the School Board.
