 Martha Johnson. aged 14. was charged with being incorriSible. but before the case was concluded it was discovered that her home associations were not the best in the world Mir and Mrs Walter Cross- land, of IT North street, were the complainants in the case. The man married the girls mother when the girl was two years old The mother died thrse years ago and two years ago he married her sister, which would make Mrs Cross land the girls stepmother and aunt Both said the girl was untruthful and dis honest and would not remain at home They told of several places where. il is 4lleged. she had stolen money. Miss Nettie Starr, Mrs John K Goodrich. Mrs D. A Streeter. Mrs Elizabeth Robbins and Superintendent E NJ. Dickinson were called for the defense and th- following was found to be the true state of affairs: The Orosslands were drinking people and the little girl was sadly neglected. She had not been sent to school and had very poor clothes. She was cruelty beaten at various times. Her untruthfulness and waywardness was caused by the terrib' ( usage she received at home. The little girl had tried to get work. She was pleas ant winning and obedient, but if per mitted to live at her present home event uA Y he would have to be sent to an in- sututlon. Mrs Robbins promised to ac- cept the guardianship of the child. and as tt girl is old enough to choose her own guardian, Judge Cowell adjourned the case for thirty days.
 John H Kelly was charged with drunk enness and breach of the peace. Officer Allen found him asleep under a tree in a lot in the rear of Washington street. and the officer said when he awakened Kelly he cursed hlm and called him hard names.

SEMINARlES DISCIPLINED.
The Presbyterian General Assembly to Take
 Sharp Action.

The Presbyterian General Assembly to Take
 Sharp Action.
 PITTsBCRG. May 24.-The Presbyterian general assembly showed its teeth and temper when the Union seminary camo up in a shape in which 1t could be ejected directly without at the same time directly iniuring the prospects of the denomina- tion also. The action in continuing the directors of that institution as members of church boards which was taken on Tues day and Wednesday. was not dictated by love of the seminary or of the men con- cerned, but by fear of the results which might follow the policy of exclusion.
 The policy adopted is the beginning of an active warfare against tho New York seminary, which is avowedly intended to bring 1t to it's knees or drive it entirely out of all relations with the church. It is said that other measures even more drastic are in contemplation. but as to their exact nature nothing could be learned.
 Some of the matters passed upon were of general interest to the denomination. but the bulk of the york affected the boards of the church and their missionary or benevolent work. The evening session was devoted to the quarter centennial eel ehration of the reunion of the old and new school branches of the church, which occurred in tho Third Presbyterian church, Pittsburg, in 1870.
