PREsBYTBRIAL NOTES,

The Presbytery Of Northumberland
held its regular spring meeting at
Berwick, commencing on Monday,
April 7oth at $3.50 P. NJ. and continu-
ing until Wednesday 27nd, NJ.
Thinking that your readers might
be pleased to learn something about
the make up Of that body and its do
ings, l have concluded to write a few
lines on that subject.
The first thing that attracted my
attention as to its make up was the
absence Of what had for long time
been familiar faces. | think there
was not one minister there who was
present at the first meeting of Presby-
terry which attended. There are
still two ministers living within its
bounds who were present, and / be-
lieve only two; the others have either
moved to other places or have gone
to their reward.
There were few elders who have
for long time represented their vari-
Gus congregations. Elders are not
noted for greater longevity than min
listers, but they are less inclined to
itinerate.
Presbytery convened at the appoint
ed time and was constituted by prayer.
The sermon by the retiring moderator
failed to materialize as he was one of
the absentees. The organization of
Presbytery by the election of mod
orator was the first thing done. The
Rev. M. l.. Ross, D. d., was chosen
for that position. After some routine
business Presbytery adjourned to
meet at 1850 P. NJ, when sermon
was preached by the Rev. julius A.
Herold, pastor of the first Presbyterian
church of Williamsport, shortly after
which they adjourned to meet at 9
A. NJ, Tuesday. The forenoon work
was either not interesting or of such a
nature that shall pass it.
Adjourned until 2 P. NJ. The
principle item of interest in the after
noon was the examination OF two
young men, Mr.. Harvey Brokaw and
Mr.. E. E. Lashley, candidates for the
Gospel ministry. The examination
being satisfactory, they were called
upon to preach trial sermons in the
evening. The Tuesday evening ses-
sion was principally taken up with the
sermons by those young men. They
acquitted themselves in a manner
that showed they had taken pains to
prepare for the work which they were
about to enter upon.
Wednesday, 9 A. M. vote was
taken by which those young men
were sustained in their examination.
The one, now Rev. E. E. Lashley,
was ordained and arrangements were
made for his installation as pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Chilisqua-
que. The ordination of Mr.. Brokaw
was postponed for time. He ex-
poets to so as a missionary to Japan.
Presbytery adjourned at 1890 A.
M. to meet at st. Mary's in October.

Excessive Failures.

Bradstreet's reports more business
failures for the first three months Of
1896 than for any like period in the
history Of the country. The average
was 50 per day, and the average
amount Of each was over $I4,ooo.
1t is quite well established that fully
95 per cent Of all persons engaging in
business fail sooner or later. Is it nee.
essary that this large per cent Of wrecks
should constantly characterize the
business world1 If they follow in the
train Of hard times or crises, can these
causes be overcome Many students
and few statesmen experience the
hope and surprise expressed by Rev.
Heber Newton in these words, 81
am astonished at nothing in our bust
ness life so much as the absence Of an
earnest, determined effort on the part
Of our men of brains to find the cause
of these chronic crises and hard times,
and then set upon the track Of some
remedy therefor"
We are promised answers to these
timely inquiries in our live question
columns in the near future.

Causes of Nervousuess.

The msladies which above all others cause nervousness, are dyspepsia, bIliousness and constipation. The grea sympathetic nerve which connects the epigastric reglon with the brain, is sl- ways iDjuriously affected if the stomach and bowels are disordered; permanent Arrangement of the functions of those organs reacts by sympathy upon the en- tire nervous system. Hostetter's Stom- sch Bitters, in restoring tone and re- gulsrity to the digestive apparatus, and overcoming constipation, permanently remedy the nervous complaints which originate in alimsntary weakness or dis turbapces. They gre the very best Dervine that can bs used. By eradicat- ing the exciting causes of nervous weak ness, they permanently overcome the disability itself. But this is not all. By checking the maladies which cause nervousness, they build up anew the system weakened and depleted by ner- vous disease.

THE GLOBE RAILROAD.
Conference With the Indians About
 Right-of-Way.

Wm. Garland. president of the Gils Valley, Globe and Northern railroad,
 ECO ompanied by his stenographer, W. S. Lard, arrived on Wednesday from San
 Carlos, where he had been to hold s con-
 ference relative to the right of-way
 across the reservation for his road. Ar
 engagements have been perfected 10 le- sume the construction of the road west
 from Geronimo, and all that remains to
 be done is to gain the consent of the lo- diaps. For that purpose a conference
 wss held at San Carlos Wednesday morning, between Acting Indian Agent Albert l.. Myer. PresldsDt Wm. Gar land and about 70 Indians representing the various tribes. Owing to the Gils river bsing untordable all the tribes were not represented, but to those present Capt. Myer and MT. Garland explained the law passed st the last seeeicn of Congress granting to the railroad right of-way across the reservation, dependent upon the consent of the Indisns. Capt. Myer explained the law in detail, and his instructions from the Interior De- pertinent; and Mir. Garland spoke of the benetts which would result to the In disns themselves, enlarging the market for their products. and giving them em- ployment. The Italians seemed we'll satisfied with the explanation. Another conference will be had tomorrow moru- ing, when it is hoped all the tribes and bands of Indians will be represented. We are pleased to learn that Capt. Mysr will cooperate with Mr. Garland to se- cure the consent of the Indians upon an eouitahle baa;e tO have tha raiiroad emma through, and we are assured that when that is obtained construction work will be resumed at Geronimo within 30 days, and the road completed to San Carlos before spring. The result oftomorrow's will be published in our nex. Belt.

THAT the election of Mckinley was reasonably certain the CITIZEN was sat- isied sometime ago, and so announced. That the needs of the territory would be best represented by the election of re- publican representative to congress, we were positive, and for these reasons ad- vocated the cause of Hon. A. J. Dorsn. Of course, his defeat is a great dissp. pointment, of course, but we draw a great, long breath of relief when we think that Smith was successful, as op- posed to O'Neil. Arizona has escaped the scourge of populist representation in Congress, for which we are ell truly thankful. As between Smith and ONeiIl the choice of the CITIZEN WAS easily made.

CONSOLIDATED.
Tho Two A. O. U. ~. Lodges Are
 One.

Last night saw the consolidation ol Tucson Lodge No. l, and Apache Lodge No. s, A. O. U. w., of this city. This measure has been in contemplation for 8 long time psst, and its final consum nation IS matter of supreme sstlsfac, tion to every member of the order. By this union Tucson Lodge now has 8 membership of 250 which makes it the strongest lodge in this jurisdiction, which comprises Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
 Every seat in the lodge room last night was filled, and the meeting was one to be remembered. After ths busi- ness of the evening was transacted, a banquet followed, and New Arizona Lodge No. l, A. O. U. w. was launched upon its journey with every prospect Of fair sailing.
 On Thanksgiving eve. Wednesday, November p, the lodge will give 6 public entertainment, which will DO doubt be most agreesbly received by the people of the city, who have most pleas ant recollections of former efforts by this order.
 On that evening, too, the lodge will be visited by Grand Master Workman, A. E.. Pierce.
 A most agreeable time is anticipated and all Workmen are requested to at- tend the meeting on the evening of the 25th.

 The annual meeting of the Arizona Agricultural Association will be held in Phoenix on the 20th and Fist of this month. The Agricultural Association was organized about year ago and two meetings If the character of farmers in- stItutes were held, both of which were very suct esstul. It is expected that the forthcoming meeting will be even moro important than either of these. The program IS varied one; the papers ard addresses to be presented covering many of the most important topics con- neoted with the various branches of aRri- culture, horticultuye, fruit growing, bee keeping, etc. The exercises will con- sist, as heretofore, of papers and ad- dresses followed Ey general discussion upon the particular topic presented.

Jordan vs, Duka.

The evidenre in this case is closed and the end approaches. It has revived many incidents ard sctors of 1880 and 1881 when Gen. O. B. Wilcox was in command of this department and the ex- citing times of the Cibicu Indian war when Capt. Hentig with several soldiers were killed and buried upon the field, and the march of Gen. Carr back to Apache, also the marching of eli the troops in southern Arizona under Col. Riddle, then commanding at Fort Gran t, to San Carlos ID anticipation of general outbreak. We don't like to loose the Yavepai crowd, but think they are glad to be ne9r tbe end.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. Juan Elias Passes to the Great Be
 Youd.

yond.
 The announcement of the death oi Juan Elias has been expected for some time past, as his condition has been such that all hope had faded. Neverthe. less, the shock of his removal will be felt throughout the county.
 Mir. Elias was boru in Tubac, and was 57 years of sge. From early manhood he was prominent figure in the up- building of this country. He was 6 man of peculiar trsits, one of the mOst prominent b. ing his courage. In the early days of Arizous's history, when the Apsches were a constant menace. by night and by day, to the safety of those brave men who were determined to live here, Juan Elias was slwsys ip the front rauk of those who sought to rid the country of her bltterest enemies, His record IS one of exceptional bravery and macy of his comrades who are yet living, proudly point to hiu as the pers9ni6cstion uf manly courage. He was one of those present at the famous Fort Grant massacre, and alm ost times without number he made his presence strongly felt in repelling the vicious ss- ssults of the murderous Apaches.
 Mr. Elias w8s 8 member of the first territorial legislature; he served on the board of supervisors. and held num- Der of offices of trust. Throughout his whole career, his life was such as to win for him a wlde reputation for sterling integrity and respect for the right.
 In his death Arizona loses one of her friends who often placed his life in jeo. psrdy for her advancement. Another of the old landmarks is gone. leaving only a memory of bis good deeds.
 A large lumber of relatives mourn bic loss, and a multitude of warm friends offer all the human consolation they can give.

University Notes.

From the CITIZENS special correspondent. Who was it that appeared in white robes before President Billman's resi- dence "Hallow-ene?"
 The senate met last Saturday night. They entertained their guests with a very interesting debst. There are bright prospects for the future of the young speakers.
 The youpg-lsdy boarders have suc- cseded in getting very handsome pia- nr. No doubt their voices will have plenty of cultivation now.
 We have number of young patriots over to the university. They sat up last night to hear the returns of the election. The young ladies secured permission to be at the man building also to hear ths first reports.
 MT. Bradley, no doubt. will feel the election. as there will be number of boxes of candy to pay on wsgers.

SANTIAGO SANCHEZ STABBED.
A Possibly Fatal Quarrel Last Night
 On the Street.

What is likely to prove 8 fatal quar- rel took place last night on Washing ton street near the corner of Seccnd. Chas. Brown and Isaac Long. colored men, be- came involved in quarrel with San- tisgo Sanchez, a Mexican. Daring the quarrel Sanchez received a stab wound ID the stomach which IS likely 70 prove fatal. The two c. lored men were sr- rested and the wounded man taken to the Sisters hospital where Dr. Duffield took charge of him.
 The wound. which ia very deep, was evidently made with a oane-sword, is very serious, and there is but one chance in Q hundred that the sick man will recover.
 Tbe injured man is the same one who was shot at some time ago by another colored man, the bullet taking of por- ton of his ear.
 Another man is implicated in the stabbiug ard tbe police have been look ing for him all day without success Herald.
