TO PREVENT UNION
ARGUMENT BEGUN IN COURT AT
 DECATUR, ILL.
Cumberland Presbyterians Split Into Factions Over the Prp0sed Union With the Northern Presbyter-
 iana-The Assembly at
 DeAmOines.

Decatur, Ill, May 1s.-Promtly in court today the lawyers representing the factions of the Cumberland Pres byterian Church began arguments on the plea for an injunction to prevent the Cumberland Presbyterian general the Presbyterian church. At the same time the assembly resumed business. most of the commissioners being in their seats. The fact that the men or both parties participating heartily in the devotional services indicated the general good feeling prevailing. The committee on credentials worked until late last night, but being unable to report this morning. the assembly could not elect a Moderator. Some routine business was taken up after which pr. w. J. Darby. secretary presented the annual report of the educational so- ciety.
 The report of the Educational Society emphasized the great need for thor oughly trained ministry, and stated that the amount contributed during the past year for the assistance of young men in the schools, colleges and semi nary aggregated S11.34S, which was used for the benefit of something over 100 young men.
 T. H. Perrin a member of the board from St. Louis presented the report on the board or -n1lSS1Onb nS htPOil Oh the board of missions and church erec- tion showed an increase in offerings Tor its work and year of unusual results both at home and abroad. The net gain, as compared with 1904, was $1l,- O2o. There was a slight falling off in the contributions for foreign work and although the board met all of its obli- gations to its missionaries and closed the year with all salaries paid in full it was left with no considerable amount to apply to indebtedness. Considering the disturbed conditions that existed in the church the board expressed great pleasure over the substantial Increase in offerings. Expenses Of administration were somewhat reduced during the year and the operating ex- penses amounted to S4 per cent of all the funds administered. The board maintains forty home missionaries twenty in Japan, eight in China and five in Mexico. The total receipts fol home and foreign mission work were sl5S,742. an increase over 1904 of $32.' 130.
 At the court house only a part ol the long bill was read, and argument was begun by Judge Greon of Illinois representing the plaintiffs.

ORDERED TO KILL
ITALIAN GIRL SAW VISIONS AND
 DREAMED DREAMS.
Remarkable Plea Entered by Counsel for Mrs. Josephine Terranova. Sise Killed Her Uncle and
 Aunt in New York.

New York, May 1S.--The defense of Mrs. Josephine Terranova, charged with the murder of her aunt. Mrs. Concetta Reggie, was begun today.
 Former Justice Palmieri,. counsel for the accused, in outlining her case de- clared that the crime of the aunt against this girl was blacker, deeper and more horrible than that of the un- cle, for she opened the door tha. sent the girl to her doom.
 The crime of the uncle, whosl she killed. he said, was committed against her when she was less than twelve years of age, and the aunt directed the girl to enter her uncle's room. Brooding over her trouble, counsel con- tirued, the girl became temporarily in sane. In this insanity she saw vis- ions, and heard voices repeating: you must kill.'
 On the day when she stabbed her un- Gle and aunt, she had first prayed, ask ing whether the voices were of Di- vine origin and thought she heard the answer that they were.
 Our defense shall be-" said MT. Pal mieri, "that the girl did not know the nature or the quality of the act. She did not know she was doing wrong

That the recent county fair at Fayetteville was a financial suc- cess is shown by the following from the Review
 The total amount paid in by persons attending the fair amounted to SS7o0.65 and while all the amounts have not been checked up yet 1t is known that there are sufficient amounts from other sources to make over S400a and as the premiums and other expenses, all of winch have been paid, amounted to about $500 there will be gain of about $500 on the first fair held, thougf ot course this does not include the pay for grounds or buildings.
