Inc Rev. Dr. val,s snccos.,,.

New York. Feb. 16.-The Rev. Dr. $, T. Mcconnell, rector of St. Stephens Pro- testant Episcopal church in Philadel- phia, is to be the rector of Holy Trin- ity church, on the Heights, in Brooklyn, as successor to the late Rev. Dr. Charles H. Hall, who died about six months ago. When the declinat tion of the Rev Dr. Parks of Boston of the call to the Brook lyn church was received couple of weeks ago. a call was extended to the Philadelphia divine and accepted few days ago. At a meeting of the vestry of St. Stephens church on Friday Dr. Me- Connell presented his resignation and it was accepted. Dr. Mcconnell has been one of the leading Episcopal ministers in Philadelphia and St. Stephen $ church has had a most prosperous his- tory during his rectorship of nearly fourteen years. He took an active inter- est in public affairs and is a prominent member of the Municipal league of Philadelphia. He was ordained in 1872 by the bishop of Pittsburg. After two years of missionary work in Erie county and the oil regions he became rector of Holy Trinity church, Middle town, Conn, and on resigning that charge went to Philadelphia.
 He has written several ecclesiastical works the most widely known being "A History of the American Episcopal Church" He is president of the Con- temporary club and chaplain of the First regiment, N. G. F., and of the veteran corps. He is dean of the North east convocation of Philadelphia, a member of the Pennsylvania Historical society, and of the Sons of the Revolu- tion. Dr. Mcconnell is in the prime of life.

First Payments on the Bonds.

Washington, Feb. 15.-With the close the first payment of 20 per cent. can be made on the new bonds. The total pay- ments, as reported to the treasury to date, have aggregated s62, ,sSS, TAG, or more than 50 per cent. of the total issue. The Morgan syndicate paid in all it's pur- chase money to-day, with the object in view of catching any of the defaulting bidders bonds, to which they are en- titled under their blanket bid of 110,6S77 for S1OO,Oo0,000 or any part thereof. How many bidders defaulted and in what amounts will not be known at the treas ury until Monday or Tuesday next. The difference in standard time made the hour at which bidders could pay for their bonds, reckoning from east to west, three hours later than New York time at San Francisco and one hour later at Chicago and St. Louis.
 At the close of business to-day the treasury gold reserve, with to-day's de- posfts at New York excluded, stood at S77,132,S63. Since January $, when Sec retary Carlisle invited bids for the new bond issue, to date, s27, ,452, ,S54 in gold has been withdrawn from the Treasury. Of this amount, s9,404,032 is reported as having been withdrawn presumably to pay for bonds. It is stated, from reliable New York adyices, that the firm of Zimmerman S Forshay alone have withdrawn S5,S5I.63S.
 The Treasury is prepared to deliver the bonds as rapidly as called for.

 Birthday.

MT. Tiffany Celebrates his Eighty-fourth
 Birthday.
 Many notable things happened in the memorable year of 1872, and among the events recorded early in the year was the birth of a son on February 15 to a sturdy New England couple who had established their home in Danielson- vile, Conn. The child was imbued with good health and, as later developments proved, sound sense as well. Like many other young men who were only equip ped with a rural education to start with, he came on to New York, and with a partner opened modest little stationery and fancy goods shop. Hun dreds of others have done the same thing, and after a brief career were never heard of again. This particular | young man, however, combined many other qualities with his little capital chief among which were taste and gen. eral business ability. The little shoI which he established on Broadway within a couple of doors of A. T. Stew l art, the merchant prince of even those early days, was the nucleus of the pres ent house of Tiffany & Co.,, and the founder Charles Tiffany, celebrated or Saturday last his eighty:fourth birth. day. He is still the president and ex. ecutive head of the establishment, and all the honors that have been showeret upon him these many years have no changed the simplicity of his life.

GATHERED BY LADIES.
Admiral Foote Posts Veterans Had tc
 Surrender.

The two hundred veterans assembled in Admiral Foote post room Saturday evening were surprised and captured by sixty ladies of the Woman's Rellef corps. The surprise was complete, and, although Commander Foster has faced q good many cannon and has had con- siderable experience in capturing fe- males in small squads, the big contln- gent that rushed in upon him Saturday night threw him off his guard. He rai- lied, however, in good form and gave the best address of welcome the post has heard in years, The ladies, who were under command of their president, Mrs. Mary L. Davis, were loaded down with rations, and the gay and festive scene which followed continued until il o'clock.

R., are doing a noble work in caring for sick and destitute soldiers, whether members of the Grand Army or not The committee have dis covered that their funds are running low, and as the committee are deter mined not to curtail the charitable work they have decided to raise funds by giv- ing occasional entertainments.

his evident sincerity. He Is candor IN

sBryan's first speech, in the house-the
one on the tariff in 1892-fxed his status
as one Of the crack orators OF this gener-
alton. It astonished old stagers, electr1-
fed the country and stimulated the am

Jealous Cassandras by delivering speech
on silver which must forever remain as

"If it did not increase his fame as much
as did his initial effort, it was for the all
sufficient reason that there was not so
much. room for him to grow in. If Dan

wood O,Connell, you have, after most
grave and deliberate examination, been
found guilty of the most serious crime,
with one exception, known to the law.
Had you a few years since been found
guilty of the same crime your life would
have been forfeited. Nay more, at this
moment, but for the leniency OF the
crown which tried you under q peculiar
statute, you would have forfeited your
life for the crime of which you have been
convicted. You have had the advantage
of being defended BY will say unhes-
itatingly--the very ablest man Of the
Irish bar who could have been selected
for such a purpose. In this case, as in
all other cases, he has spared neither
labor, exertion, nor energy to vindicate
the cause Of his clients. And must
also say, in justice to those who appear
for the crown, that the prosecution in
this case has been conducted IN man
ner perfectly unexampled in any poliI-
cal prosecution in which either In my
reading or In the course of my profess
3sionA experience I have ever known.
They relinauish a mass Of evidence
which they would have bean entitled to

Mr.. Justice keosh -You did get time.
You got plenty Of time, and I shall not al
low it to be thought that you did not.
You awaited yourself Of that time to-
Islander individuals. We Interrupted you,
and you then proceeded to Islander the in
istitutions of your country. These In
stitutions are too highly valued to have
us allow them to be SO assalled In

these observations, but l must say to you
that had you spoken a thousand times
more improperly than you have done, 1t

at the bar in a manner becoming your po-

the effect OF increasing your sentence by

to certain extent your allegiance as a
British subject; but that is not the offense

making distinction in your case, we are
wiling to believe that deal OF your sub
seuuent proceedings must have been owing
to the influence which ne may have exer-

A YOUTHFUL FREAK.
Attorney Land Catches q Tartsr md
Il Now Trying to Turn Him Loose.

| The public remembers something OF
/ the story of Edwin Russell. Edwin is a
little pickaninny who bummed his way
In a coal car all the way from Nash
vile here and started out to look for his
brother" whoever that mythical indi-
vtdual may be. He naturally landed at
| the police station and the next day was
locked up. for five days to give the au-
thoritieS time to examine into his case.
When the five days had expired the
! boy-he Is only IL years old-was
brought into Court and turned over to
the keeping Of Attorney w. H. Land,
who. with one eye on charity and the
other eye on the business end Of the
bargain. said he would see that home
was provided for the youngster.
Land Is now trying to lose Edwin. but
he cant do 1t. His troubles began at
once. He hadn't had the boy In his
office fifteen minutes before he escaped
and was next seen begging for money in
Bank street offices. The lawyer got his
protege under his wing again and fitted
him out with a suit Of clothes, hat, ct
cetera. Having given him 30 cents
worth of fruit, and thinking that would
keep him still awhile, the attempted
guasdian turned his attention to other
matters. When he looked around Ed
win had disappeared, but was found
after short search-engaged in q live
~ finger conversation with Mr.. Bruce.
Land took the precocious youth home,
where IN ten minutes ne was hghting
with several youthful members of the
family and calling them strange and
uncouth names. He was finally induc-
ed to come to the supper table. where
he ate everything he could get his hands
on. go
Yesterday morning Edwin was placed
In charge of colored woman to work
for his board and keep. About twenty
minutes later he showed up, saying the
blamed woman" wanted him to work
for q living and he would be L..
II he would do 1t. The patience of his
protector at this point gave completely
away and he Is now willing to dispose
OF his youthful terror to q dime museum
or any other institution on the lookout
for q freak.
