Rev. Mr.. Davy's Ideas.

Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir:-l perceive that the business man
ayers of your publishing house have in
creased the price of The Tribune. Now,
let them insert few more columns of
business advertisements and a few more
columns Of base ball news, and a few
more columns Of bicycle races, and a few
more columns of dime novels, and you
will make "a very interesting paper for
mornings meal for the general reading
public. 1t will have a tendency to in
crease their intelligence, and elevate their
virtues. But! but! but! If some virtuous
man should send you an article on public
morals, taking the Bible for his standard,
it would not be admitted to your coll
umns. We are friend Of yours ana a
friend of the paper, but we think a little
more backbone in the editorial depart
ment on questions that relate TO the fight
between virtue and vice; right and wrong;
good and evil; articles that would have a
tendency to elevate society, would be fully
as interesting to your general readers as
so much base ball matter.
1t was stated i'm the preachers meeting
In Elm Park church that Rev. Mr. Race,
OF the Cedar Avenue church, sent you an
article defending the noble position of
that noble man, Dr. Dixon, II, the firm
stand that he took against pilnG up
whiskey barrels against the house of Col,
and you would not publish it, So 1t seems
your paper Is published not for the good
Of society or the elevation of our citizens,
but to make money, even If 1t comes
through the smoke stacks of the bottom-
less pit-and there are over 800 of them IN
Lackawanna county. Why should rei-
gion be divorced from the business affairs
of life, whether that business be moral
or immoral, for the sake of raising up a
nation Of drunkards and of Sabbath
breaking ball players? Good morals
rather than making money are the bull
warks of a nation, and a nation without
morals will go to pieces sooner or later.
Yours respectfully

Nathaniel HaIlstead Will Probably
Take an Appeal.

The ejectment case of Nathaniel
Hallstead against the Penn Avenue
Baptist church promises to be a long
drawn out affair. Arbitrators Vos-
burg, Oliver and Bower have filed their
award in favor of the church and
against Mr.. Hallstead. He will doubt
less appeal. The board of trustees, of
whom Luther Keller is president, are
actively defending the suit. j. w.

Price are the attorneys for the church.
In view of the absence from the city
of certain material witnesses the board
regard the award as an exceptional
victory and high compliment to their
attorneys. There is very generally ex-
pressed the hope that the suit may not
result in any serious bitterness or fac
tional feeling in the congregation. Mr..
Browning when spoken to about the
result said:
II regard the awards as true vind-
cation of justice and right, as the
conscientious opinion of an upright
board of arbitrators and a complete
reputation of the plaintiffs claim"

lBrother Davy makes the common mis-
take of supposlng that n newspaper has a
mission superior to that of paying its
way. If he were to run one for short
time, he would appreciate the necessity
of publishing a liberal quantity Of sport
ing news, "dime novels" and ADVERTISE
ments. Concerning what The Tribune
prints or rejects in the way of voluntary
contributions to any department, that is
naturally a matter within its own pro-
vince. Whenever ANY reader Of this pa
per feels that 1t is not worth the price
charged for it, It is his right to stop taking

@1he arrest and trial of Pastor Kirk.
patrick has been one of the most sem
shtional affairs that has ever occupied
the attention Of the police Of this city.
Inc man accused is pastor Of the Sec.
ond Universalist church and man of
more than local reputation.
On the 10th Of last December Mrs
Anna Adwen, who lives in block on
exchange street, complained to officer
ohayne, who patrols that street, that
she had been accosted by a man who
represented himself to be detective
andaskedto be Showed to gowith her to
herroom. When refused he threa tened
10 arrest her. She said the man had
on two previous occasions done the
same thing. While the woman was
talking with the officer the verv man
OF whom they were speaking walked
almost In front Of them. Mrs. Adwen
recognized him and pointed him ont
as the man who had caused her so
much trouble.
Officer Shayne followed the man
and stopped him and asked him what
he meant by stopping women on the
street and asking to be allowed to 20
TO their rooms. He declined to sta to
his motive in doing this, but at last
said he was engaged in getting up a
series OF sermons on the immorality of
the city. and that he was looking up
the disreputable joints In the city for
the purpose of getting material for his
lectures He then gave his card to
the officer.
Three days afterwards he was ar.
rested on tie charge of impersonating
an officer. The woman was not in
court when the case was called and
the prosecutor swo ore that he had rea.
son to believe the defense had spirited
her away. There was plenty Of ex.
citement, but 1t was found that
through tho blunder of the officers the
woman had been allowed to remain
upstairs in charge Of the matron.
There was loud laugh at the expense
of the officers.
The case was called Friday, and |
occupied the attention OF Judge Ernst
oil day. Yesterday morning it was
taken up again and finished late yes.
terday afternoon. when the Jury
brought in IL unanimous verdict, Sc
cured ON the first ballot, of not guilty.
The defense practically amounted to
charge of conspiracy among the Of
tcers against the minister. There is
talk of bringing charges of conspiracy
against Lieut.. Zimmerman and officer
>hayne, and taking them before the
board of police commissioners.

Drake must commission John r. Prime

Seems to Be the Right Party.

Columbus, Jan. s.-Further advices
received here today from Ca-lvllton,
Ala, seem to point conclusively to the
fact that the man captured in that town
Wednesday is one OF tho two who mur.
dered John Roberts at Artesia, in this
county, about two weeks since. 1t is
stated that he offered for sale a valuable
revolver for Sl.50. This leads to the be.
lief that he is member of the gang
who committed numerous burglaries in
this city last fall as among the houses
broken into was hardware store from
which anumber OF revolvers were taken.
Tho man, who gives his name as Howard,
has signiied his willingness to return
to Mississippi without requisition pa

ready to 60 after him as soon as the

DISTRESS SIGNALS
Sent Up by an Unknown Vessel Oft White

head, Novia Scotia.
HALIFAX, N. s., Jan 10.-A report
received here late tonight states that
an unknown ocean steamer had been
sending up signals of distress off
Whitehead, 100 miles east of kere.
When first observed darkness was CON-
ing on, and she was about seven miles
distant, showing flag calling for as.
sistancc, and seemed to be running to
westerly course, keeping off shore.
After dark she dischargeda q number of
sky rockets, Thick snow squalls set
in about seven o'clock, and nothing
more has been seen Of her except an
occasional rocket.
When the signals were first observed
the schooner Hannah II. Elbridge and
lifeboat and several small boats
started from the shore towards the
steamer. Up to l0:3O the Elbridge or
boats had not returned.
An uncon6rmed report here states
that the steamer belongs to the Fur
ness fine. The Furness liner Derma-
rara is eight days overdue from Cardiff
for this port, with cargo OF coal for
British naval authorities.
At HIS last night it was reported
from Whitehead that the lifeboat and
schooner Elbridge had returned with.
out finding the distressed steamer,
owing to the thick snow storm, and
had given up the search.
A second schooner which went out
returned with the same information.
The snow is falling heavily and the
wind blowing from the southwest.
