hart president of the Hart Steam ship
Co, relative to bis connection with an
alleged military expedition sent on the
steamship Laurada to Cuba. was re-
stunned before United States Commits
sioner Edmunds In Phiiadelphia Tues

and, at the suggestion OF John F..
Devils, associate counsel with Capt.
ker, for the defendant, postpunement
OF a decision in the case and of argu-
rnent was mate until Friday afternoon,
October 10th.
George b. Knox, master of the tug
boat Madeira, was the witness, and
testified that he had towed four yawl
boats from Dialogues shipyard, in
Camden, on August 5tt, to the Lau-
rada, which was anchored off Whining
ton, Del His boat started for Camden
from. Walnut street and he put 10 at

young men were to look after the yawl
boats. On the same day the Madeira
carried ships stores from Pier II, North
Wharves-the pier Of John D. Hart &
Co.--to the Laurada. Knox said that
after the Getty was reached on the fol-
lowing day the two young men left the

At the conclusion OF the taking of

the commissioner postponement OF
argument until after a decision by
Judge Wales in the Delaware court in
the case OF Capt. Murphy of the Lau-
rada, charged on warrant from Com
missioner Edmunds with aiding a mill.
tary expedition.
The decision, he expected, would be
given on Saturday, and If 1T we're de-
cided military expedition had been
sent on the Laurada argument on that
point would not be made.
Mr.. Beck objected to continuance,
but on being assured by Commissioner
Edmunds that he would prefer first to
know Judge Wales decision withdrew
his objection. and the case was post
poned, with the understanding that
no more witnesses would be called.

Saratoga, N. Y. May 21-The 1OSth
general assembly Of the Northern Pres
byterian church was opened here this
morning at IL o'clock in the First Pres

The opening sermon was delivered by
the Rev. DR.. Robert Russell Booth of
New York the retiring moderator on
the subject Of christian Union and
Denominational Loyalty
He said: "On one hand there are
charges of undue severity in the adj
ministratiOn of discipline coupled with
a plea for liberty withiR certain limits
which up to this time have not been
defined. On the other hand there is
fear or conviction that essential truths
are at stake and a belief that the
church is cOntending for honor and life
in the stand which she has recently
taken in her discipline and deliver
ances. To many Of US this controversy
has been unexpectedly painful and
there can be no doubt that it has ma
terially interfered with our financial
prosperity. 1t adds to the painfulness
of the present condition that real effort
has hitherto been put forth to secure
a removal Of these misunderstanding
by brotherly conference and arbitra-
ton of differences
''It may be a dream; it may be a de-
lusion," said the preacher, but speak
ing as it We're, for the last time in such
a place of public authority, I appeal to
the sound Christian sense of this ven
cradle assembly to take some proper
measures to ascertain what it is divides
