TO be expected. however, but he Will lnd
in the end that he has made mistake
that the public will not submit to. New
evidence OF MS infamy is pouring II every
dav and the council is not half through
with its work. l have submitted TO them
many letters received in the last few days,
showing Dr.. Brown 10 be thoroug hly
bad man The writers OF these letters
will not appear before the council in pub
lie. bat have signified their willingness TO
give their testimony behind closed doors.
They give, as reason for this, that they
DO not care TO be mixed I'D with so dis
graceful an affair. These letters show that
Dr. Brown visited many places On Market

tend 10 do all | can for her. There are
many peculiar phases connected With Mrs.
Stockton's stay in the church OF which no
notice has yet been taken. For instance why
didtMrs. Brown objec. TO Mrs. Stockton S be-
coming member OF the choir two months
after that lady had joined the church.

Deacon I. n. Morse returned from Bos-
ton last night, where be has been for some
weeks past looking up the record Of Mary
4. Davidson. He finds that she has q
brother connected with the Fire Depart
ment OF Boston who, when asked If be had
a sister By the name OF Davidson, replied
YES. sheis very devil" Mr.. Morse has
certified copies Of her Eastern record,
which he viii submit to the council at its
next session.
There was an interesting little tilt
between Dr.. Brown and Miss Hattie Cooper
at the close of Fridays session Of the
council.
I'VE only made one mistake to-day, DR..
Brown" said Miss Cooper.
HYes, and what was thst?" inquired the
reverend gentleman.
That we did not have an officer here TO
arrest Miss 0yerman on q charge OF con-
spiracy the moment she stepped from the
wituess-stand."
At Wednesdays session of the council
Judge Advocate Woodlands said Mrs.
Davidson hai been forbidden by her attor-
ney, George a knight, TO appear as q

receives three hours notice. Rev. Mr..
RAIDER has the matter in hand, and will
see TO It that Mrs. Davidson gives her state

permitted to make these charges against
me, but If Il was right ne certainly abused
the chance shamefully. | declare most
emphatically that not one OF the charges

II wonder if DR.. Brown remem bers the
peculiar manner in which he baptized me.
After l had joined the church he asked
me il ! had been baptized. / told him ]

would perform the ceremony. / went up,
and while we were talking very pleasantly
Deacon Nasconcellos opened the door and
came IL. He was surprised and embar-

TO the occasion. We'll, I am glad you
