PASTOR BROWN AND HIS WOES
Mrs. Stockton Good Enough for Church
but Not for the Choir.

San Francisco, Feb. Outstanding
room only was to be obtained by late
corners when the trial of the Rev. G. O.
Brown for immortality was resumed at
the First Congregational church today
The first witness was Rev. John Ray,
at one time assistant pastor of the First
Congregational church He testified
that he had investigated Mrs Stock
toms reputation when she was proposed
for membership in the church and
found nothing Objectionable. Later
when it was proposed to invite Mrs
Stockton to enter the church choir the
pastors wife, Mrs. Brown, objected,
and she did not sing in the choir.
Deacon Dexter of the church testified
that after the Davidson scandal had
been made public Mrs. Stockton called
on him and said Dr.. Brown must not
drag her into it. She admired Brown
and would even lie and steal for him if
necessary, but he must not mention her
name in the scandal. Brown declined
to make any contract with Mrs Stock
ton.
The council then took a recess to dis
cuss some matters in secret.
Mrs. Mary Davidson was recalled
but her testimony was not important
The council adjourned until evening,
when Mrs. Davidson, whose arrest for
the blackmail of Brown caused all the
trouble, appeared as a witness

POKED IN THE RIBS WITH a. GUN
An Indiscreet Act Which Cost the Poker
His Life.

Boise Idaho, Feb. PA special from
Delamar says:
"a man named Keller was shot and
killed by Charles Craig Saturday night at
Rockville, about 80 miles south Of Cald-
we'll, on the Jordan stage road. 1t seems
that Craig and Keller had not been on
COON terms. The latter bore bad repu-
tation and had been in severa al difficulties
Saturday Keller was out hunting He
reached Craig's cabin after the latter had
gone to bed. Keller poked Craig in the
ribs with a gun to awaken him. When
Craig aWoke and saw his enemy standing
over him with a. gun, he grabbed his
six-shooter and shot his visitor dead.
Craig has always borne a good reputation.
1t is supposed that Keller simply wished
to stop for the night, but Craig naturally
thought that he had come to kill him,
hence the shooting"

IMPORTANT MEASURES
House Passed the Indian and Seal Elk
termination Measures.

Washington. Feb 25.-The house to-
day promptly passed the Indian appro-
priatiOn bill as amended. No one de-
manded a separate vote in the house
on the Linton sectarian amendment as
agreed to in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Dingley, chairman Of the ways
and means committee, called up the
bill reported yesterday authorizing the
president to conclude negotiations with
Russia, England and Japan, or either
for commission to inquire into the
habits of Alaskan fur seals and the best
methods of preserving the seal herds
pending which the president was au-
thorized by the bill to conclude a modus
vivendi to terminate January 1, 1885,
for protection of seals, and in case such
modus vivendi could not be concluded
before the opening of the present ses-
sion, the secretary Of the treasury was
authorized to kill all seals while on
the feeding grounds on Pribyloff island
Mr. Dingley read the report of the
committee, already published, stating
that the necessity for immediate action
arose from the fact that the Canadian
pelagic sealers, whose ravages the bill
sought to prevent, were already fitting
out vessels and would be ready to sail
in the course of a week. The bill passed
without debate.

CLEARS UP AN OLD MYSTERY
Four OBSERVERS From the Army During
the War and tho Sad Fate That
Befell Them.

Golfers, w. Va, Feb. 23.-People are
much excited over a recent find, which
it is claimed clears up mystery Of 80
years standing-the remains of four HUI
man beings having been discovered in
an abandoned coal mine mile east of
here.
David Snyder has explored the old
mine, which has not been worked since
the COS, and discovered the human
bones.
One of the skeletons was sitting up
right against sledge. Beside this
skeleton was found a flask that con-
tanned notes explaining the mysterious
disappearance of John Ewing, Ben
Ayers, Tom Ackelson and Joe Obney,
80 years ago.
The notes were written in pencil. but
are well preserved. They read as fol-
lows:
November 2, 1se3-Should this reach
the outside world, let it be known that
we giving the names), are prisoners
here, owing to the caving in of the mine.
We are deserters, and were in hiding
here when the mine caved in. Food and
water are all gone. We are doomed,
as no one outside is aware of our where
abouts. This is about the eighth day
of our Imprisonment"
November 4.--John Ewing and Tom
Ackelson have just killed Ben Ayers and
are eating him. I have already eaten
my bootleg. The water in the mine is
terrible. Our oil is getting scarce and
the air is becoming foul. I only know
the day of the month by my watch
November Giving has just killed
Ackelson. He cut off one of his feet
and Is eating it and dancing around
and hourishing his dirk knife like
maniac
November IL am now alone with
the dead. I had to kill Ewing in self
defense. I have just eaten my other
bootleg. Am sleepy. Good bye. I en-
close this note in this flask to preserve
it if possible, so that if ever found our
sad fate will be known.
JOSEPH OBNEY"
Several Of the old residents here
abouts remember these men. It was
generally believed they had been killed
in battle. AS no relatives Of the de-
ceased could be found, their remains
were given in charge of Andy Lister for
interment.

CAMPAIGN OF DRESS.
STYLES FOR THE SUMMER ARE
NOW SETTLED.
CANVAS AND GRENADINES.
They Are the Most Fashionable and
Expensive of All the Hot Weather
Materials.

NEW YORK. July 1o.-The campaign OF
summer dress Is at las, fully arranged for
the season, and fashions have settled down
into their place. leaving no uncertainty as to
what Is or what is not to be worn for as
least two or three whole months. There
are somo slight changes, and will be some
fresh developments from time to time. but
these are all matters OF detail which do not
affect tho general plan of modes.
This is an exceptional season in many re-
spects, since materials and designs are more
varied and numerous than ever before, and
furnish. no end of suggestions for the exer-
else Of individual taste. especially in all
minor points of decoration, which give the
crowning finish to any well thought out
costume ,...i-
In all the infinite variety of dress mate
rails used for summer gowns. silk canvas
and grenadines are perhaps the most fash
ionable and most expensive. too, since a
silk lining of good quality is a positive ne
ceSstty with these transparent fabrics. But
wool canvas and mohairs are quite as good
style; and then there are batistes galore
and an endless diversity of cotton materials
adapted to the most limited purse.
Foulards. too, are added to the list OF
silks this season, much to the delight of
all those who can afford any sort of a silk
gown, as they are so effective in pattern.
require so little trimming to give them
style, and are so cool and pleasant to the
touch. A yoke OF embroidery or vest Of
finely plated mousseline de sole is all the
trimming necessary to make a success Of
this sort Of gown, and novelty in trim
ming for taffeta silks is a very narrow
ruche Of tulle. This must not be more than
an inch wide-less width IL better--very
full, and in some dark or contrasting color
to get the right effect
Black tulle is pretty on some Of tho light
plain colors, as we'll as tho Powered silks

tulle should match the stripe. Pointed
bolero fronts. trimmed with rows of tiny
riches of tulle set on a little apart and
falling over white mousseline de sole vest,
make a very effective bodice completed by
the wide belt of plain satin, which is the
distinctive feature of so many new summer
gowns. Tulle and chiffon are permissible
on one gown, SO the vest may be of the
chiffon. lavlshly trimmed with yellow lace.
Tulle ruches are a pretty skirt trimming
for light. dressy gowns
The new crepe de chine is decidedly the
very latest dress material in Paris, and 1t
resembles crepon in its crinkled surface,
thickness and weight but has all the
luster and softneee of the old-fashioned
article. Cornfiower blue, bright red, and
all the shades of gray, seem to be favorite
colors. and skirts of these dresses are
made in the new way-not 60 full, shirred
in around the hips over a separate silk
lining with less fullness than the outer
skirt and made separate at the bottom.
Embroidered lawn traced with gold
thread is the usual trimming, and glace
silk is used for the wide folded belt. which
extends almost to the bust. Black silk is
effective for this purpose, and short basques
of the crepe sometimes fall below. The
wrinkled sleeve. fitting the arm, close
ly, and finished with a short puff or two
or three not very wide ruches at the top,
is the prevailing style for the crepe de
chine dress.
And it is only a question of very little
time when this small compromise between
balloons and coat sleeves will disappear
altogether. That sleeves are small, skirts
still full but gradually decreasing in size,
and bolero jacket effect well to the fore
are three noteworthy points in fashion
which 1t is well to remember; and Other
marked features are the very short, full
basques showing frills OF colored silk
underneath, and belts of all sorts and de-
scriptions, which seem to be everywhere
at the same time.
Black canvass skirts ~ de over a black
silk lining. and worn with fancy silk
waists. are still another French fashion
which may serve many a good turn, since
nearly every one has an old black silk
pkirt which can be renovated, with very
little new, for the lining.

The Newest Shoe.

Women who are fond of things novel will
be delighted with the newest shoe in town.
1t is made with most remarkable toe. In
stead Of being an ordinary straight toe. 1t
turns up at the point in most saucy inquir-
ing manner. 1t is called the Toxic, but Just
what relation It bears to Japan is as yet
unknown. Besides a boot with this pert
Toxic toe, there is a low shoe and a toilet
slipper. This funny little toe has much in its
favor. for. not only is it novel. and hence
sure to please. but it has another marvel
ously attractive characteristic--it makes the
foot look smaller. That 1t is already selling
well goes without saying.
