The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-05-08

In the discussion which followed,
every member and visitor expressing an
opinion, the general trend was in favor
OF the positions assumed by the speaker,
although exceptions were duly filed as
to particular points. 1t was conceded
that Mr.. Moody's work was, on the
whole, of beneficial character, especial
ly in those proclamations which recog-
nized and enforced the divine love, and
urges obedience to the sanctions of the
moral law. 1t would need columns to
give any adequate report of the discus
sion, and to report what one said and
not the other. would seem invidious
where all the speaking was forcible and
worthy Of report. The result of the
discussion may be briefly summed up as
favorable to Mr.. Moody's work along the
lines where his theological PROPOSES
sions were ignored but while approving
his work in the main, care should be
taken to discriminate between his ethi-
cal teaching and his dogmatic utter
ances. We can believe in Moody, but not
in "Moodyism," by which term is under
stood the particular lines which separ-
ate the revivalist from distinctly ely
Universalist sympathy. The positive
element in religion is the note which
Mr.. Moody strikes the oftenest. and in
this he is entitled to the sympathy of
all who desire to improve and exalt the
world and bring men to the pattern
shown in the mount. The brethren ex-
pressed cordial thanks for the presenc e
of DIR. Gray and his interesting address.

all the brethren composing the Associa-

ton OF the hour was the presence of DR..
W. q. Gray, Editor of The Interior. the
Presbyterian paper of this city, who cor
daily responded to an invitation to ad-
dress the Universaist ministers on Mr.
Moody and his revival methods. Mr.
Gray spoke for nearly half an hour in
familiar and conversational manner,
giving an estimate of Mr. Moody and an
analysis of his methods. According to
DIR. Gray, Mr. Moody's strength lies in
the absoluteness of his convictions, and
his entire sincerity and hone sty in their
proclamation. The people believe in
him and he helps men along the high
ways OF the better life. His liberalism
reaches the masses; he does not trouble
them with speculation, but urges what
he conceives to be the facts of biblical
history. Mr.. Gray said that we needed
tolerance for all sorts of opinion and il
the people are helped by Mr.. Moody's ap
peals to the letter of Scripture, we should
be willing to tolerate even his error for
the sake of the good that comes tenn
porally through its fundamentally.

Special Dispatch to The E, .aing Star.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. September II.
F. S. Coburn, the Washington druggist,
who. as superintendent of substation of
the Post Office Department in that city,
cmbezzled about $1,000 of the money order
funds, was arrested in ,Queenston, On
tario, late yesterday afternoon and taken
a. once to Syracuse. where Judge Coke is
holding United States court
Queenston is small Canadian village
of few hundred Inhabitants seven miles
down the river. and Coburn was located
there through the Post Office Department.
While residing in the quiet village he
passed as F. A. Marvin, a man of wealth.
Yesterday there was quite a gathering of
post office inspectors here in pursuit of
game which 1t was evident they considered
big. The entire force of inspectors of New
FORK state was here, including Inspectors
Ryan, Coates, Duryea, Sharp, Morris AMI
Coleman. In the afternoon Messrs. Ryan
and Duryea took an electric down to
Queenston, and 1t was not long before
they located Coburn. This done, they re-
turned to Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Sc
cured warrant for his arrest.
Taking officer of the Ontario force
with them. they hurried back to Queens
ton and placed Coburn under arrest. He
did not appear very much surprised, but
W 90 apparently SIdu u Oe dTTeSteu anu
relieved of the intense strain to which he
had been subjected since the theft.
He gladly accompanied the officers to
the New York state side of the river, not
putting them to the trouble of securing
II QUESTION papers. Coburn had been in
Queenston for two weeks, and the men
who captured him could not help but feel
that he was glad to be in their hands. While
the two inspectors went to Queenston the
other inspectors remained in Postmaster
Horne's office ready to BE- called should
Trey be needed in any direction.
During Coburn's stay in Queeaston he
had quietly made few friends, who began
TO hold him in high estimation a man
of means and who were startled at his
rest on such serious charge, backed by
the United States government. All the in
spectors were highly pleased over the ar
rest and left the city rejoicing.
Tie arrest of Frederick s. Coburp, charg-
ed with embezzling $500 from the Pos:
Office Department, was learned by Inspec-
tor Hamlet after midnight last night Co
Durn gave Detective Ryan and Inspector
Morris no trouble regarding his eXtradi-
ton and is now on his way to this city
from Queenston, Ontario, where he was
apprehended.
Coburn will probably be given the full
Penalty of the law. as his operations are
said to bear evidences of the most de-
iberate plan to work the money system
for his own profit that has been discov-
cred. although the amount secured was
small. 1t is expected that Coburn- will
reach Washington some time this even

MR.. PALMER IS HERE.
Hnd No Connection With the Laurel
Mystery.

,. Mystery.
There were no new developments in this
city today in the way of tracing further the
man who is supposed to have murdered a
woman August 4 last near Laurel Md. be-
ycnd establishing the fact that Mr.. p. c.
Palmer had absolutely no connection with
the affair and, Furthermore, has not disap-
peared from Washington. On information
presented to them. several policemen have
been privately acting on the theory that
Mr.. Palmer, in view of the fact that he an
closely the description of the man
seen in the woods near, Laurel with wo-
Man, and 50 far as was known disappeared
last Monday, soon after the announcement
vas made in this city that a body had been
found at Laurel, might know something OF
the case.
Following this theory. a Star reporter to-
day located Mr.. Palmer. He had not dis
appeared. On the other hand. he has been
employed as a bricklayer steadily every
day. and at night has been following the
calling Of card writer, near the corner of
18th street and Market space. He was at
that point last ~evenins. and. in fact, every
well known in this city, where he has re-
sided for years, and he'wa visbly dis
tressed that he should even by rumor have
been connected with the Laurel crime.
This is really rerrfbie~ said Mr. Palmer
to the reporter. II am aware that L agree
very Well with the description of The man
who Is wanted for the murder at Laurel
and suppose that wherever 1 appear on
the streets now will be pointed out as the
murderer. BY the merest accident 1 missed
the train intended to take for Laurel sew
eral days ago in connection with some
work there. I suppose that had 1 gone
there 1 would have been arrested, and
maybe lynched,s alighting from the
train.
My friends who have known me for
twenty years or more, will certify that
am not a drinking man and that 1 am not
of vicious disposition, as has been stated
My wife and children are summering in
Virginia and l am staying with friends at
:s0I 18th street northeast. After working
hard all day at bricklayirg 1 may present
the appearance of a tramp, and although
in general appearance / may look like the
man wanted at Laurel, l. of course, know
absolutely nothing of the case. / cannot
understand how the impression got abroad
that / had disappeared. l have passed the
sixth street police citation every day. and
am we'll acquainted with several of the
officers there. L have been seen writing
cards at eth street and Market space every
evening.
Connecting. me with the murder has
quite unnerved me. l am anxious that my
friends snail know that i am the same
Palmer as of old, and that ] am not fugi-
tive from justice anything else
No one has been found who remembers
seeing the man supposed to be William
Drown, the alleged murderer. who was
traced to a lodging house at 1o4 II street
after he left the lodging house early in the
morning of August H.

COmmi ssiOners VIII Ask for an In
crease of Force.
In the estimates of the Commissioners
for the future support of the executive
branch of the District government a num-
all is a general inspector, at salary OF
$500. The duties of this official, it is I'M
derstood. contemplate a general super
vision of all pending work, together with
supervisory power over the railroads, both
steam and street.
Another important item is one of s., 400 to
pay for seven additional inspectors of
buildings. at $1,000 per annum. One chief
clerk and architect in the Office of the in
spector of buildings, at 81 600, Is also in
Guided. An increase of 500 in the pay Of
the steam engineer in charge of the Dis,
trict plant Is urgently recommended
A new clerk in the office of the property
clerk of the District, at a salary of 81 go,
Is also urged. An increase oi 500 per an
mum each is asked for the five assistant in
spectors of plumbing, who now receive
1000 per annum. Another new item is
that for four charwomen at $40 each per
annum. The District building has never
had such help, and il is deemed highly de-
srable.
In the assessors office first assistant as
SCISSOR at $1,000 is urged, together with an
assistant assessor at 81 900. An increase of
$2OO Is asked In the pay of the license clerk
who now receives 81 300. In The collectors
office an assistant cashier. at 81 400 is
suggested, together with three new clerks
at 1890 each For the free public library
an appropriation of 81 100 Is asked, for the
pay of a librarian and assistants, and
5000 for rent, fuel and contingent ex-
penses.

Reimbursement of n Clerk Who Was
Dismissed ON False Charges.

Reimbursement of n Clerk Who Was
Dismissed ON False Charges.
Very much of stir has been created in
the Treasury Department by the example
made by Secretary Gage of a man In high
place found guilty of making unfounded
charges against an employee and securing
his dismissal.
In 1895 the auditor of q bureau in the
treasury instructed a chief of a division
under him to report for dismissal a subor-
dinate named Henry NJ. Billings, an old
soldier. The other names are suppressed
at the Secretarys wish, but the facts are
admitted at the department.. The chief
nesltated at taking the action outlined for
MIN, saying that he thought Mr.. Billings
work was sufficient for the money he was
receiving. He demurred to the discharge of
MI. Billings. The auditor finally wrote out a
copy of charges against Mr. Billings. and
requested the chief to recopy and sign the
charges. These charges were that MIR. Bill
nngs was indolent. Indifferent unmindfuI
., repeated admonitions and delinquent of
uuty. The chief at last yielded and signed
the charges, securing the dismissal of Bill
inss. fhe discharged employee made an
attempt to- secure a recommendation for
tsn but 1t was said to him that
tne civil service commission would not
issue certificate for reinstatement with
the charges of delinquency hanging over
him. es o'ei

furnishing them over his own signature
ne stated that he believed he was simpIv
carrying out the orders of the man above
MIN, and that he had no right to demur
When he saw that he would be compelled
TO do as asked or be charged with insun-
ordination himself
secretary Gage took the position that a
cnleI OF division weak enough to make the
un1ounded charges, even when directed
was not the proper man for the head of the
diVlslcn, and ordered the chief to be re-
duced 1t was at first thought to reduce
MIN to the lowest grade of clerkship. but
the Secretary, in view of the fact that the
cn1ef expressed regret for his action de-
cided to be more lenient, and put the man
INTO S.2U year clerkship. and Informed
MIN that his promotion would depend en-
tirely on his zeal, fidelity. faithfulness and
efficiency
Mr.. Billings has been reinstated as a clerk
IN the office from which he was expelled.
The fact that Mr.. Billings was an old SOL
der prevented his losing his position alto
gether. Under rule 9 man is not eligible
for reinstatement If he has been out over a
year.
Secretary Gage and Mr. VanderIip in
Vestfgate every case of this kind called to
their attention. and declare their purpose
OF preventing discharges from the treasury
without the best cause. They expect to
care for old soldiers on every occasion.
