Tht emphasis of his remarks and their hearing on tho controversy over tho heresy of Professor Charles A.

Soldier NeUen Will bo Arraigned su a CItarffc of Murder. Private McLean, who was shot by Private Hen derson Nelson in tho ramparts or Fort Hamilton, died at 8:30 o'clock Inst night. Coroner Rooney Bent Undertaker Foran to bring the body to the morgue this morning, where it was intended that County Physician Shep.trd would make an autopsy this afternoon. The father of tho dead soldier had come on from Philadelphia to tako the body to that city for interment this evening and Caroucr Rooney had prepared to havo a jury view tho corpse, so that tho family arrangements might ho carried out. The United States court authorities did not understand those preparations and it is doubtful if they can bo carried out.

Lieutenant L. Beat of the First United States artillery regiment cams from tho fort to make a formal charge against Nelson to day. Ho appeared beforo Commissioner Mono. He stated that relatives wished to tako tho body to Philadelphia to day. Assistant District Attorney John Oakey said ho muBt protest against the body being taken out of tho district beforo a post mortem examination had been made.

Tho sergeant oxplainod that two post Burgeons had examined tho body, but this did not satisfy Colonel Oakoy and an ordor was issued that the body should not be romoved from tho fort. United State. Deputy Marshals Btegart and CummingB wero sent to Fort Hamilton to bring Nolson beforo the court. A reporter of tho Eaole explained to Colonel Oakey the action of the coroner. Colonel Oakey said this would not make any dill'erenee as tho United States authorities had chargo of tho case and until thoy were satisfied the body could not be removed.

At the hour of going to pross Undertaker Foran, who had been sent by tho coroner to bring tho body to tho city, had not returned. There is prospect of a conflict between tho Unitod States authorities and thoso of tho county. TRAIN ROUiSERS IN MAINE. Train Held Up at Knficld, ftnt Etobbcrv Fail to Hake a Capture.

London appears in no condition to buystocks, although the feeling thore is bullish regarding American properties, and speculation is checked by the efforts which scoui to bo made to maintain high discount ratea. Tho rise in our market last week was largely duo to a covering of short contracts, thus removing ono important support to prices. Exchange is strong at an advance for both long and short, caused by a scarcity of billa and by a good demand for remittances.

May 20. Tho report of the liunce board, although brief, will probably prove about aB interesting a document as any made public by tho navy department in a long timo.

Tho department has adopted the report and the men selected by the board will forthwith bo appointed to begin duty when the present places aro vacated on June 1. It hap ucns, however, that the great revolution in the foice will not occur, as in twelve out of fifteen of the positions the present incumbent will be reappointed. The only old employes who wore defeated wero Pierro Parsells, Buchanan and William Quiun. Tho report says: The applicants for all positions numbered ninety three (03), and fifty nine (r01 persons appeared for examination. A list of all applicants is appended to this report, marked Each candidate appeared pertonally before tho board and was subjected to an oral examination, h.B testimonials and certificates wero read in his presenco aud he was required to mako written answers to certain queslions without limit to time; such testimony concerning him as the board could obtain, both oral aud written, was received aud duly considered.

Following is a statement of the positions for which examinations weie held, with the names of thoo found "best qualified" iu each caso: Constructiou department 1. Master shipwright, IraLillie; 2. Alaster joiner, Andrew N. Childs; 3. Miif.ter shiplitter toutside).

Equipment department 14. Master sailmaker, William L. Cowan. Yards aud docks department 15. Foreman laborer, William Mitchell.

In submitting its report the board deems it proper to call the attention of the department to tiio following facts iu connection with tha examinations Iu several eases, notably those of the master shipwright, master joiner, master sbipiitter (for outside work), master shiplitter (inside work), master snariuaker, master boatbuilder, master sailmiker ami master uiolder, the competition amounted to very little, if anything, as the candidates were either fow in numbers oi of such a class as to practically leave no opportunity for selection outside the persons at present holding tho positions. Tho board also desires to record the fact that while it has, in ita judgment, specified the candidates best qualified for the positions, it is of the opinion that the men named for master ahip wr.ght, master Joiner, master shiplitter (out. ido work), master boilerinaker aud master aparmaker do not roach that standard of excelh nca which is desirable or which the best interests of the government demand. This unsati factory stato of affairs may bo largely due to the want of a more general knowl edgo on the part of the public as to tho requirements of the positions or to tho inadequate rate of pay for tome of tho more important.

E. CiiAuwicK, Commauder. I'ltAXC'ls l' Bowles. Naval Constructor. Secretary Tracy does not think it proper to givo the standing of the defeated candidates.

Probably the moit important part of the report iB the statement of the fact near the close of the document that some of tho men selected "do not reach the standard of excellence which is desirable, or which the best interests of the government demand." 'iho men alluded to are Ira Lil lie, Andrew N. Chillis, Thomas itourke, John O'ltourko and Oscar E. Johnson. According to the decision of the department in adopting the report, these men will be appointed; as it iB absolutely necessary to lill the vacancies in order that work may continue. But at tho same time the department intend: to tako under consideration tho surmise of tiie board iu regard to tho cause of the deficiency and get at tho bottom of Iho weakness.

The board thinks it may bo largely due to the want of more general kuowledgo on the part of tho public as to the requirements of those positions or to tho inadequate rate of pay attached to yiein. If either of these is found to be correct it is probable that a new examination will bo held in these six cases and a strong elfort mado to induce competent men to enter tiie competition. It is too soon to say what the officials in charge think of the result of the experiment. Secretary Tracy ia naturally pleased at his own vindication, as shown by the almost uniform success of the incumbents, appointed by him. But tho fact tho board says that six of the winners aro incompetent and many of the places were not really the subjects of much competition, demonstrates that much of the intended reform remains to bo accomplished.

Arthur BrokB, president of tho board of trustees: by Mr.

Hamilton W. Mabie, the seoretary, and by Mrs. Elizabeth 0. Abbott, the registrar. They were almost as interesting to tho spectators and to the forty members of the froBhmen and sophomore classes as though there was a olasa of fair women graduates to receive the honored diploma of Columbia, for when tho timo comes it will bo Columbia that will confer the degrees.

This morning's exercises wero held in the parlors of the college at 343 Madison avenue, New York, and tho students mado no pretense at display in dress. They were thore in their every day costumes and thero wero no flowers, no white tulle or lace, and tho affair was as far removed from tho ordinary conventional exhibition of a young women's academy as couleVwoll bo imacinod. There was no valedictory, for nobody was bidding good byo to alma mater; thero wore no tiresomo thosea on tho topics most in voguo with girl graduates, for thore were no graduates. None of tho students had anything to do with tho programme except to look very pretty ia their Boata and listen to tho wiidom and solid common senso that percolated through the words of tho speakers.

Arthur Brooks addressed tho students on the subject of what soon to make the educated woman of to day, and he impressed on them tho thought that skill and dexterity without originality in study and personality in the application would bo of very little me in the Barnard course.

The board of estimate has received a half dozen or more, the most important bcUg that of Fire Commisriouer Ennis, but will not furnish them for publication in tho newspapers at present. Within the past two or three years tho board has adoptod this policy. Nevor before since thero haB been a Wiard of estimate in Brooklyn havo theso requisitions been withheld until they have been printed as a pamphlet. They are always furnished to the preB.s simultaneously with their transmis sion to the board of estimate. Firo Commissioner Ennis' moat noteworthy recommendations are for an additional fire boat and lor three new engine companies and houses.

The fire boat will cost about $75,000. The boat now in survieo, the Setn Low. has neon utilized some seven years, and is one ol tho most valuable accessories of the department. Chief Engineer Nevins, whoso judgment wmot be questioned, says that there should be another boat. Commissioner Ennis has recommended an appro prfation for tho imrposo for several years, hut the of estimate has not seen fit to allow it.

As to tho increase of the engine equipment Of the force, its importance is dwelt upon both by Commissioner Ennis and Chief Kevins. There are now twenty eight engine companies in tha department, which have a membership of twelvo each. Increased safeguards arc necessary in outlying sections of the city. There is but one engine company, for instance, in the large territory embraced in the Twenty sixth ward. Commissioner Enni? omits his usual recom.

mendavion for an appropriation to put tho fire department wires underground, but he calls attention to the matter in a communication accompanying his requisition. No city wires can be buried without money, and the board of estimate must provide the money. Somo of tho firo wires are already underground, Commissioner Ennis having had enough money available a few years since. He and the chief have repeatedly contended for tho burial of all the wires. The bo: 1 of estimate cannot do much until it shall have all of the requisitions before it.

They should have all been iu by May 15. Tho report of the board must bo scut to the common council on or before the iirst Monday in June, and the council can deciease, but cannot increase, tho amount. Should the aldermen tako no action on the report before the first Tuoiday iu October it becomes a law without their approval. TEACHER, JOURNALIST AND POLITICIAN. Undid Garfield iSiirns Itirs in the Home For Coiimiuipti vtis.

Euclid Garfield Burns, an old lime Brooklynito and resident of tho Twenly fifth ward, was buried yesterday iu Greenwood cemetery. Mr. Burns was born sixty one years ago at 10 Dobbins Btreet, Armagh, Ireland His parents wero Scotch. When IS yeara of age, Burns, accompanied by his brother Archimedes, weut to India, and, after a long stay there, made a journey through Africa, which lasted soveral yeara. He eamo to Brooklyn thirty five years ago and opened plumbing establishment on Fulton street, near Ormoud place.

He soon tired and gave up his business to tako a position, which ho held for many years, in tho department of city works. After that ho becamo a privato teacher and wrote for several newspapers in New York ami Brooklyn. During his later years Mr. Burns again took an activo part in politics. Ho was one of the best known members of tho Twenty fifth ward Republican association, and ono of tho greatest kickers against the controlling Sharker faction.

About six months ago Mr. Burns cot.tracted a severe cold which developed into consumption and he died on Friday night at the Homo for consumptives, on Butler street. Burns and James G. Fitzgerald, the latter one of tho Democratic leaders of tho Twenty fifth ward, had been friends for over thirty years. When Mr.

Fitzgerald learned of his associate's death, he had the body removed to Leary's undertaking establishment, on Fulton Btreet, near Sumner avenue, where it was prepared for burial. Although Burns, when in life, had an army of friends not ono of them called to nay their respects to (lie dead. So it was that when the hearse with the body started for Greenwood ycterday only one coach followed. When the coach reached the cemetery the single occupant stepped out. He was Mr.

Fitzgerald, the only mourner. SHIP CARPENTERS ON STRIKE. Local Union No. iiiiO Orders Men Out ot Tjicil ti No. 220, K.

of ordered fifty ship joiners and caulkers to quit work at the ship yard of James G. I.eary of Greenpoint this afternoon. These men went on strike a week ago upon their own responsibility, and returned, to work pending an investigation by the local unicm. The representatives of the union had a conference to day with Mr. Leary and his superintendent, John Cosgrove, which resulted in tho men being ordered out by the union.

The claim of tho men is that laborers are used to do tho work of mechanics. An agreement could not be reached. Mr. Leary told a reportor of the Eaolh that tho men he had selected to tlo this work wero competent to do it and that ho would keep them at work. Thero aro about four hundred men at work for Mr.

Loary, who will probably go on strike. Ho is building a largo dock on the Harlem for the Astors. This work will probably be suspended. John Hawkins, who was superintendent of the latest Leary raft, and who is now a union mechanic in Mr. Leary's employ, refused to obey the order to quit work.

Ho is still employed in the hip yard. SEKATOlt COLlJlilTT AMD GOYER30B HILL. (Special to tho Eagle. Aldaxv, N. May 20.

What was 6aid at tho conference has not been divulged, but that tho two parties to it had something to remark about presidential paiiibilities seems quite likely. Nobody at the executive chamber to day expressed any desire te dwell on the subject of the call made by Senator Colquitt or in fact to give any information at all about the matter.

What tUc Xcu Want. Parts, May 20. The strike of stage drivers throughout Paris, which was begun yesterday, continues to day and causing great oxcitement in this city. Enormous crowds of people, tho majority of whom aro in warm sympathy with tho strikers, surround tho depots of the omnibus companj During tho night and this morning tho company's depots and offices wero guarded by strong forceB of polico and detachments of troepa. There was no serious disturbance last night, but rioting was renewed early to day, when tho stage company, assisted by the police, mado an endeavor to run soveral stages.

Tiie strikers' pickets had kept the main body of the discontented men well informed of the movement projected, with tho result that a crowd of tho most desperate of the striking drivers gathered at tho point from which the stages were to start. No sooner wero the stages well out of the depots than they wero greeted with volley upon volley of atones, which were acoompanied with a perrect Btorm of hooting and jeering. Though the Btages wero escorted by policemen tho strikers watchod their opportunity aud, at a signal agreed upon, charged furioualy upon tho stages, swept away tho police lines, dragged the "black leg" drivers from their boxes, pounded them vigorously, cut the traces of the horses and, in soveral and seriously damaged the stages thennelves. Tho police did their best to protect the company's employes and property, but their efforts wero nearly useless in face of the overwhelmingly powerful rushes of Iho mob. At ono time it waB thoujht that tho troops would be called upon to take action, but tho authorities, ia viow of the popular sentiment of resentment which was arousod by the slaughter of tho men by tho soldiers at Fourmics on May day, are not expected to order the troops to fire upon the people unless absolutely compelled to do so.

At this hour 11 A. M. number! of stages are standing deserted in the streets, blocking tho trafflo and showing how well the strikers are holding their own. Popular sympathy, as already stated, is undoubtedly with the strikers, aud, in one case, this was illustrated in a manner somewhat disgusting to the blacklegs. Two stages were Btopped by the Btrikers at a certain point and the horses were, aa usual, unharnessed and led away amid the jeerB of tho crowd who witnessed the onslaught of the strikers.

When the blackleg drivers and conductors wero pulled from the stages, the inhabitants of the neighboring houses, male and female, nearly Bmothered the blacklegs with showers of dirty water, filth and retuae. When the blacklegs finally escaped they wero in almost as filthy a condition as it is possible for men to bo in. Squads of police attempted, by repeated charges upon the strikers and thoir supporters, to protect tho stages issuing from the depot on the Boulevard Bourdon, but the crowds responded by attacking and orerpoworiue; the police. Tho Btrikers then pulled the blacklegs from the stagea, severely maltreated them and compelled the stages to return into the depot. The pulice, later on, were reinforced and mado many arrests among the strikers who had bean promi nent in the rioting.

Iho Oaulijls to day says that the stage com pany asked M. do Freycinet, president of the council and minister of war, to allow troops to take the places of the company's drivers, and, in a word, to enable the company to run stages loaded with koldiers through tho streets of Paris. M. de Freycinet, the Ganlois adds, refused the company's request. The latter then sont some of its officials to tha Hotel do Villo and requested the municipal council te intervene in behalf of the company.

After some deliberation the municipal council consented to formally receive and hear the complaints of tho stage company's officers this afternoon. The extent to which tho strikers enjoy the sympathy of the Parisian public may be judged from the fact that many of the newspapers of this city have opened subscriptions in behalf of the strikers and their families in order to enable the drivers to successfully push their fight with tho stage company. The strikers ask for twelve hours' work per day and tho reinstatement of drivers belonging to their union who have been discharged for agitating this movement. Eighty additional arrests of strikers wero made this merning. This niakeB about ono hundred and fifty strikers who aro in custody of the police.

The cabinet has been seriously considering all the aspects of the stage drivers' strike and has been discussing the advisability of winding up the Btage company's affairs or of taking the company's business into the hands of tho government for the present. The Central labor committee has adopted a proposition forbidding public conveyance companies to employ men for more than twelve hours per day. THE HO.N'TAGUE STREET LITIGATION'. Arrriuaonl Cloued Ciei'orc Justice Pratt Tliii Storming. The suit company brought by the Covered tube railroad to enjoin tho Brooklyn heights rail road company from constructing a cable road on Montagtio street hill, was closed this morning bo fore Justice Pratt in the Bupremc court.

Tho Montague street construction company has been joinod as a defondant in the case, aa its manager! have the contract for tho building of the road. While the covered tube company appears as the plaintiff it is apparent that Alexander H. Miithesiiu is tho real power behind the throne, as he is very anxious to seo his patent cable grip in use. and that is probably tho moving cause of the present exttuded litigation. No part of Montague street is involved iu tho suit aside from the hill itself, and for the purposo of tho action the ownership of tho hill by tho Pierrepont estate was admitted.

The questions to bo litigated were whether tho Pierrepont estate did own the hill and, if so, whether the plaintiff had over procured the right to lay tho cable on it under the contract with the lots floury E. Pierrepont. The other qncBlions involved arc for a construction of the contract, whothor, if made, it was ever rescinded and whether the injury the plaintiff will Bustain by tho construction of the cablo road is not rnparable. Upon these points counsel will hand up briefs. CAMERA ARTISTS.

Mr. Linton visited the city hall to talk farther with tho mayor about tho Twenty sixth ward sewer business. Commissioner Adamn was there on the same business. Linton tarried in the ro tuuda to converse with the reporters. Adams walked right by him and saw the mayor first.

He never let on that he knew there was such a man as Linton in existence, and Linton evinced no interest in tho fact that such a man as John P. Adams breathed tho same atmosphere with him. To morrow thoy will be at tho hall again and perhaps tho notoriety they aro gaining for themselves will induce them lo suspend hostilities. Mayor Chapin, who threatened to settle matters amicably, does not seem to be a success as a peacemaker, thus far. HIT OFFICER OVEUTO.N.

Among the entries is Freddie Gebhard's Canvass, for which ho paid $21,500. Ho has made very fast trials, and should he start will doubtless bo a favorite.

High pticed horseflesh has been uulueky this season, and it is thought by some of tho suDeratitioua turfmen that Canvass will bo as unfortunate as the $40,000 King Thomas, the $33,500 Tournament and tho $35,000 Bolero. Messra. J. A. A.

Wyndam Woldeu, trainer for tho Morris stable, said to a friend yesterday: "I shouldn't be surprised if we ran first and second with Ambulance aud Russell, and yet wo may not be in it, so uncertain is horsollesh from hour to hour." A wild story is in circulation to the effect that Miohaol Divyer won $30,000 yesterday by backing Senorita to beat Phil Dwyer's Prince Royal. The prico against Senorita fluctuated from 11 to 5 to 2 to 1 until tho horses went to the front. Had Michael Dwyer sent $10,000 into tho betting ring to bet on Senorita, the mare's price would certainly havo gone dowu to oven money. A friend of Michael's said in speaking of tho story: "I guoss ho would be willing to tako tho half of $30,000 for what he made by backing Senorita." There is no doubt that tho pool room men havo been worsted by Phil Dwycr.

They havo not boon able to get accurate information from the track. For instance, yesterday there was a great plunge on Con Leightou's 2 year old Guilty. The price against him opened at 5 to 1. Insido of ton mluutos the odds wore down to 2 to 1. Over in the New York pool rooms the odds wero 30 to 1.

Fortunately for the pool room men, Guilty ran fourth. In the first race tho New York gamblers put up Livonia's name as tho winner. Frontehac won, but those who backod him in the pool rooms tore up their tickets, thinking they had backed a lorer. Detective HobortPinkerten was asked if ho had learned the name of the alleged sick man who was prevented from leaving the ground last week and came near dying in consequence of his detention. Ho replied: "I know of one of Do Lacy's agents who deliberately swallowed a chew of tobacco so as lo mako himself sick.

I know this through ono of his associates. I was sorry that we did not havo a stomach pump to use ou the fellow." Ambulance is credited with having worked one mile and a quarter yesterday in with 100 pounds up. Bolero worked the aamo distance in 2 rather slow. EX SEXATOR BLAIR'S PROTEGE. He Was Anxious Secretary Tracy Sliould Phi Kiiu iu liie IVavy Yard.

Special to the Eagle. Washington D. May 26. Ex Senator Henry W. Blair, who is also ex min ister to China, is still waiting for Bomething to turn up and meanwhile finds timo to look after the interests of his friends.

Somehow he seems to have lost his interest in civil service reform ainco ho left tho senate. No ono ever, dreamed that he would desert this great cause, but if Sec retary Tracy has not already destroyed the documentary evidence the proof is convincing. The other day the secretary had a letter from tho dis tinguished ex statesman, setting forth that a friend of his, George P. Apoletou by name, had taken part in tho competitive examination for tho position of master joiner at the Brooklyn navy yard. Ho hoped, if Anpleton had passed well up among the leaders, that the secretary would stretch a point to give the placo to him, because lie knew him to bo a good man and in every way suited to employment under this administration.

It was a very charac teristically worded epistle and conveyed the idea that Blair wanted his man to get the place, qualified or not. Maybe Secretary Tracy has sent the letter back to the writer, but whether he has or not it can bo predicted with great confidence that Appleton Is now too heavily handicapped to cling to the slightest hope of succeed ing. There is not so much enthusiasm over Blair now as thero was the day his nomination as minister to China was cenfirmed with a whoop and a hurrah. His former associates aro slow in urging the President to try him on some other fur away foreign power. DR.

MO LEOD HAS SOT BEEN' OTLLED. The Clinton Avenue statement. dictates a Rev. Dr. T.

B. McLeod, pastor of tho Clinton avenue Congregational church has returned to the city and this morning dictated the following statement to a reporter of the Eaole: "Tho Park streot church has not extonded to me any call to become its pastor. The statement published in yesterday'i) Eaole was gratuitous and unauthorized. I notice that this morning's Tritmne prints what purports to be a statement made by a well known member of my church that I have been called to the Park street pulpit. That person may be woll known and well intontioned, but ho cannot be well balanced, else he would not have given out a statement concerning his pastor without first verifying it," It will bo observed that this statement does riot deny the statement made in yesterday's Eaole, which was that tho Park street church has indicated to Dr.

Thomas B. McLeod that it will extend a call to him if there is any likelihood of his accepting it." The reporter indicated to Dr. McLeod tho distinction when ho used the word "call" in his dictation, but ho made no change in his statement. A BISHOP THREATlNKD. (Sis Grace oil B.oudon Keccircs an Anonymous 7aruiuir teller.

Londox, May 20. Tho bishop of London, the Right Rev. Frederick Temple, received a mysterious letter last week warning him that an attempt would be made to assassinate him at the ordinance servico held in St. Paul's cathedral on Sunday last. The bishop placed the letter iu the hands of the police, who took steps to protect the prelate and tried to find the writer of tho warning lettsr.

Doteotives carefully watched the cathedral, but with no result. Other palico officers tried to trace the mysterious letter, but did not meet with success. It is believed that the threat was genuine, but that tho would be assassin's plans wero frustrated by the vigilunco of tho police officials, and that the man who is threatening the lifo of tho bishop is only awaiting a favorablo opportunity to carry out hia intentions.

Greer Snceeedi "Iho Softest Shp in the 5aTy." Special to tho Eagle. Washington, D. May 20. The batch of naval orders to day was of unusual importance. Admiral D.

B. Harmony is detached from hia soft post of chairman of tho Ligbthonso board and ordered to hold himself in readiness to command the A6iatio gquadron. Commodore James A. Greer, now president of the Naval examining board, is ordered to tako Harmony's plaoo in addition to his present duty. Tho detachment of Admiral Harmony has long been expoctod, as a fight has been made against him by the politicians of tho treasury department ever since tho administration changed.

It was alleged that tho admiral was a strongor friend of the Democrats than was customary amoug naval officers. However he was one of tho most popular men in tho Bervico and for a lone time successfully oombatted the efforts to oust him. While congroso was in session theso efforts wero relaxed because of his great influence in obtaining appropriations for tho lightbouso servico. His detail to tho China soas will bo a great hardship to him. Ho will not retire until September 3, 1804, unless the climate forces him out before that time, malting a chauco for promotions beneath him.

All the present admirals and nearly all tho commo doros would naturally retiro before him. It is scon now why Commodore Greer fought so hard to avoid detail to tho command of the Brooklyn yard. He. certainly did not want the cares of tho yard when there was tho prospect of the softest snap iu the navy for him. Dr.

Prisoner on Use SUmiS Cane oes lo the This morning the trial of Henry Donnelly, who is under indictment fur the murder of hia wife, Bridget Donnelly, was resumed in the court of sessions. The prisoner was put on tho stand. Ho said in answer to his counsel's questions that, ho was married when but 15 year.

old. his wife being about the same early lifo was spent in Ireland, but after hii marriage he. went for a time to Scilland. Then ho returned to Dublin and his wife preceded him to America, coining The children ho kept with him until 188 1, when the absent wife sent over for Kitty, one of tho daughter. Donnelly said that ho arrived in America in June, 18S8.

Further on, Donnelly said that in May, 1K8U, he was going down tho stairs of tho house when be tripped and fell to tho bottom, his head crashing through the door of the hall. As a remit of that fall ho wat unconscious for fivo hours and the following day he was removed to tho Long Island college hopital, where he was obliged to stay until August. After this he worked when ever ho could until the latter part of December. Then he grew so ill that he was obliged to givo up all work and was sent to the hospital, where he stayed until the following September. Donnelly then detailed tho circumstances that preceded the murder: "I did not know that I had a knife in my hand," he wont on.

"My daughter Margaret ran bctweea us and then my wife went into tho next room. She laid down on the bed then. I did not know what I was doing at the time, but I do not think I struck her mure than ono blow. After she went into the bedroom I put everything I had in my pockoti into the stove and went out to call an ambulance, as I saw that my wifo did not get up. On the way out I met a policeman and I told him I guessed I was the person he was after." Uit.Ier cross examination of tho district attorney tho witness held substantially to his story.

Ho Passed Awny Suddenly at 10 o'Clock Last Sight From Heart Failnro Tho Story or His Long and Eminent Career ai Treacher niid. Theologian. Tho Kev. Henry Jackson Van Dyke, P. pastor of the Second rresbyterian clmrcb, at tho coiner of Clinton and ltomsen streets, died at bis residence, Remsen street, at 10 o'clock last ovoning.

He had been feolinK of lato little twinges of pain at intervals in the region of his he art, and it made him anxious as to his health. To all ontward appoarancea he was hale, strong aad hearty, and wont about his work in a way which did not augur an early death. The slight derangements of the system received attention, and for some time he had been under the care of Dr. S. Fleet Suuir of Montague street.

It was not until Sunday night that any dangor ous symptoms appoarod, and then the doctor as Binned that it was only a little weakness, from which ho would recover in a short time. During IIEXIIV J. VAN liYKE. the sermon on Sunday night, when he had about reached tho peroratinn point, he fait a sharp pans of pain in the region of the heart. Ho bat tic 1 against the pain and continued to the close of tho service without showing any outward signs of tho suffering he was undergoing.

At the conclusion of the services he fult relieved uid assured his wife that ho was in no pain hitever Tho regular devotions of the jveuiug wero past, and when retiring for the evening he remarked to his wife that he felt ttrong and hearty. A peaceful night was spent, and it was not until 5 o'clock on Monday morning that he was awakened by severe pain, and on complaining to his wife that he felt ill she administered tome brandy and other remedies which Dr. Sneir had prescribed. Ai on tho previous evening, the pain seemed to last only a few minutes and before long he managed to doze off into sleeo, from which he awoko at the usual hour. Mrs.

Van Dyke persuaded her husband to visit Dr. Spoir at an early hour, and when the physician was seen by aia E.uili: reporter this morning he said! "On Monday morning Dr. Van Dyke called at ny residence and told me of the severe attack of sain he had suffered while preaching the sermon on Sunday evening and also of the subscotient attack on Monday morning. I mado a careful examination of his condition and told him that he must stop work at once ami take a vacation. On several occasions previous to this I had ad vied him to his work on account of tiie physical weakness from which he was suffering, but he persisted and gently refused to go away from tho city for any longLh of time.

After tho examination on Monday morning I told the doctor that ho had an attack of angina, and whan he asked for an explanation I outlined the trouble and tried to show him the necessity for complete vest. In speaking to him about the heart trouble of the night before I said that tlfls kind of an attack must not return and the only way to prevent it would be to go on a vacation at once, lie said 'Doctor, I would like to remain two weeks In the city in order to attend the next communion servico at my church and also to attend to many other ditties of my I was rather forcible in showing to him tho need of immediate rest and triad to induce him to go on his vacation at once This was at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, and no sooner had wo finished the talk and lie wa ready to depart than he asked if I thought it would do hint any harm to attend the meeting of the ministers be held in the afternoon in New York. After a little further talk the doctor said that ho probably would not go, but would return to his home at unci'. He appeared to be greatly relieved, an was suffering no pain at the time. I understand that soon aftor leaving my residence he determined to go to New York, and when he returned to his house at o'clock he felt a little tired, but none the woro for the meeting which he attended." Mrs.

Van Dyke, the doctor and a few friends partook of dinner and the company talked socially and a number of the women present remarked that Dr. Van Dyke was looking very well. A pleasant evening was spent the parlors and the doctor enjoyed the pleaBaut conversation and remarked how happily he had spent the crculng. He Eeonicd to be in perfect health ami his hearty laugh led his wife and friends to think that la was feeling remarkably well. At about o'clock he had an attack of pain and remarked that ho felt very uncomfortable.

Ho asked his wife to send for Dr. Sneir and immediately a messenger was di patehed to the doctor's residence. In less than iifteen minutes Dr. Epeir and his assistant, Dr. Cullender, were at the bedside of the minister.

"I found Dr. Van said Dr. Speir, "Quito relieved of pain and he sat talking, apparently in good health. His pulie was boating about the average, and there was nothing in his condition to indicate that danger was imminent. As I sat there chatting to the minister tho pulse beats suddenly stopped and his body began to move convulsively.

In a very short time he throw his head back on the lounge and his breath came in gasps. Finally his breathing stopped, and it was only by applying an electrical battery and administering Injections hypodermically that the jpark of life was rekindled. It was only for a few seconds, however, and death camo quietly idiot: ly liter we had succeeded In bringing him to iousnc ss from the Iirst attack. Mrs. Van Dyke a aa at her husband's bedside and as soon a.

she Ton ml that death had come she was prostrated ind had to be attended to." The death, according ta Dr. Spoir, resulted fit, heart failure, duo to an attack of angina pectoris. Dr. iipeir said when asked as to the last words of the great divine: "While I was feeling his p.ui he talked to mo about his condition and I inenthuted to Dr. Callonder that it was an attack i angina pectoris.

'Weil, said Dr. Van Dyke, 'you can call it; angina. I am prepared to if In the morning when he was at Dr. Kpoir's itsi ience, 1 h'. Van Dyke askod to be told very in reference to ids condition, and said: "If I have got angina and there is a chance of my be.

eg a eripole for life I would rather go at once, if I am i ii tit toil tor work I would much rather cu than pass through a lingering' illness." Mr. Gould, one of the elders of the church, was i i attendance at the house to day. Mrs. Van Dyke was nrostrated and could not bo seen, and In answer to inquiries the reporter was informed botii of Dr. Van Dyke's sons were away, l'lofessrir Van Dyke was in the neighborhood of Denver, and live telegraphic mos rige had been sent to as many dilTerent places to him, lint up to that moment no response lif.d been received.

Dr. Henry Van Dyke had gone to Harvard to preach on Sunday last and was somewhere in Boston or vicinity. He was rxpeced to arrive home this evening, and it was decided that no action would be taken until he arrived. Four woeks ago Dr. Van Dyke was elected to the chair of dogmatic and systematic theology in Union theological seminary, New York, ami he aee pted the call.

On May 20 the congregation unanimously accepted his resignation, with the uii Icrstandiug that he should assume the duties of his professorship on October 15. The last public appearance outside of his pulpit was made by Dr. Van Dyko on Monday evening, May 18, when he spoko at tho Union seminary alumni dinner at Clark's, in New York. On this occasion he expressed his views so emphatically and rally that his address attracted widespread attention. In tho course of his address he said: Though appointed to the chair of systematic theology I have not been credited with possessing a superlative degree that rascally virtue called consistency, but I am prepared to accept the situation, and unless the general assembly vetoes my election I shall take the chair at tho eginning of the coming Urm in September and I will take it to leach sound theology.

What does the election of an old preacher to the chair of systematic thsology mean? I think it means that the seminary is peace, that the day of party lnfe and contention in thy Presbyterian church is past and the man who tries to revive it will be caught like the man was caught the split of the oak he attempted to rend. The air is full uf suspicions and accusations, l'eace! lint 1 eace must mean toleration and the full llb trtv of preaching within confessional limits. I ciu 'think that it is not i ossiblo for a man to or for Clod himself to rcTcal, a creed in human words that will not be subject to various ion i pretations. Tho troublo in not in the am bi 'iiitv of the human words, or jr open, frank discussion, but in the fact that for men have assumed to read botweon the lines, In place equal importance upon their reading as upon the lines themselves. I believe in the confession of faith.

I shall, beheyo in It more completely when is revised. I am pp. i.o,cd to anv revision which will invalidate tho Calvini tic 'theory. I have, however, my own way of interpreting it. I think I haie tho right way.

I am in favor not only of tho revision of the confession of faith, but tho revision of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts of our scriptures, and of overrtiiing except tho original I am going to accept whatever may bo the contents of manuscripts written by men who were moved by the Holy Ghost. must emphasize the truth that tho theological seminaries are not for the purposo of making critics or controversialists, or philosophers or theologians, but the reason for the existence of seminaries is to make preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I claim for every man tho samo liberty that I claim for myself, and, so help H1Q Clod, I never will admit or consent to tho damiia of any man as a heretic unless after a fair hearing and a full trial ho is provad, boyond a po oibility uf contradiction, whether from him. It la a Scientific Fact fart I ItoiMI, Bakiho. FOWDSS III AUBolotcU Pur.

Adr. JIM In accepting the professorship at Union somi nary Dr. Van Dyke took a place which he had four times dooHnod in various institutions. He was successively the choice of tho Presbyterian somiuaries at Columbus, S. Allegheny and Oakland, Cab, and for various reasons, principally tho ties that bound him to his people in Brooklyn, ho declined' them all one after the other.

Dr. Van Dyko is a native and tho son of a distinguished physician of Philadelphia. He was born In Abingdon, March 2, 1822, and as a boy attended tho Latin schoollof Dr. Stcolo thero. Ho was graduated at the ago of 21 from tho university of Pennsylvania, and then, deciding to study for tho ministry, he entered the Princeton theological seminary and on his graduation, two years later, ho was ordained.

The people of Bridgeton, N. wero on the lookout for a bright young minister to build up a church for them, and Dr. Van Dyke was their choice. The elders of that church often felicitated themselves on their good judgment. Dr.

Van Dyke spent the first seven years of his zealous ministry with them, and but for failing health that compelled him to resign in 1852 he might have boon there yet. After a brief pastorate in Gorinantown, when his health was re established, ho was iu vited to Brooklyn at a tinn when the divisions between the old and the new school Presbyterians, that began in wero still unhealed, ami while two opposing bodies of Presbytorians eluinisd the right to call their rosneetivo places of worship tho First Presbyterian church. He strove to bring about harmony, but the war camo and was ended before tho quarreling factious were reunited. Just at tho close of tho war he was elected to tho chair of dogmatic theology by the directors of the theological seminary of Columbia, S. C.

and but for the diffcrou jos that ho felt it his duty to settle he would havo accopted. Ilo remained to continue the work of reconciliation and in 1870 had the pleasure of seeing his efforts crowned with success. Then tho old and th.1 new schoolsunited and in 1S72 the South church and his consolidated under tho nanio of the Clinton street Presbyterian church. When this was accomplished he was prepared to change his field of labor and actually accepted a call to a church in Nashviile, Tenu. His own people, however, refused to lill his pulpit, and he made a trip to Europe for recreation and rest.

On his return his old lovo for his church proved too strong for him, and the sickness of his wife continued him in withdrawing his resignation. lie resumed his pastoral duties as though he had only been on leave of absence. In 1870 the general assembly was held in Brooklyn and in recognition of his learning, as well as of his Christian tact, he was elected moderator and in the following year concluded his term by opening the general assembly at Chicago. It was then he received a second invitation to aecept a theological professorship, this time from the seminary ai Allegheny, Pa. His church at that time needed his guiding hand as muon as ever, and again he put the temptation to leave away from him.

loo a second consolidation was effected between his church and Dr. Spencer's, and then it was that the name was changed from the Clinton street to the Second Presbyterian church. Dr. A. II.

Crosby, a nephew of the late Dr. Howard Crosby, was associated witli linn in tho pastorate for several years and until caiic 1 to San Jiaphael, irhero is now. In 1880 for the third time Dr. Van Dyke was called to accept a professorship. Tho directors of a seminary at Oakland, Cal elected him to tho chair of dogmatic theology, and at this time, being tU year of age, he was anxious to lay down tho burden of a pastor's duties and enter on a new sphere that would give him an opportunity for theological study and research, always congenial to his scholarly mind.

But his people protested. and a. aiu ho let them have their way. He was a moderate revisionist, or, as ho has tint it hiiUrelf, a conservative revisionist. lie was also a member of the committee appointed to revise tho Westminster confession of faidi, and he has taken an active part in its meetings.

Dr. Van Dyke was manic 1 to Miss Henrietta Ashmead of Philadelphia, in 18 10, during his charge aB pastor of the Presbyterian church at Germantown. They had four children, threo sons and a daughter. Mrs. Van Dyke ami two sons, Henry J.

Van Dyke, D. pastor of the Brick church, New York City, and Paul Dana, professor of church history in Princeton seminary, survive him. One of tho prominent Member; Dr. Van Dyke's church had something to say about tho doctor's Hocial and personal character, which shows the reason why he had such a hold upon his people. Said he: "Dr.

Van Dyko was called to the Second Presbyterian church in I united with that church ill 1855, and ever since he and I have boon close friends. It was his tiiird charge, and he was years old when he was chosen pastor. He was a man of strong social character. Deep in ilia affei tioua, but not demonstrative, he held thou'e who knew him with hooks of steel. those who knew him and whom ho trusted he freely unbosomed himself and he wa the jolliest of men.

Ifo had two sides to his nature. A clear, logical reasoner, he stubbornly contended for the faith that was in him and in controversy ho was a hard fighter. Ha was called dominating, but he was nut to those who knew him. His relation with his presbytery were never strained during the thirty odd yours of service. During his pastorate he accepted, in a call to Nashville and wont there though not installed.

His wife shortly complained of ill health audit was intimated that ho might return. Immediately his old church gave him a unanimous call and he ennie back to be received with open arms. Thore is hardly another such instance in chnrch history. This shows how close wa i the bond between him and his people. He wiu four times called to profess irjlups in cllegos for which he was eminently fitted, each time the chair being that of systematic theology.

The last call was from Union theological seminary. That ho had accepted, and the session on Thursday last which dissolved the pastoral relation was an exceedingly solemn one. Dr. Van Dyke was famous as a controversialist, and lie wrote and spoke with no uncertain pen and voice. If you failed to agroe with him you knew what ho meant every time.

Hw was in sympathy with the South dur ing the war and did not hesitate to say so, though ho abhorred slavery. Ho was brave enough to defy those who insisted on his placing the Stars and Stripes on his church, claiming there was no law compelling a church to be thus decorated, and standing with the constitution for freedom in all religious matters. He afterward changed his views and was frank in his change. Ho held no malice and was strongest ill his personal friendships witli these whoso views he most earnestly opposed. He loved children and would novor pass out on the street without a caress and would take tho part of the abused every time.

He was a dev3tod disciple of Izaak Walton, and during his vacations plunged into tho deepest woods of the Adirondacks and whipped tho trout streaun. He know nature's mysteries and could call all the birds and flowers by name. His last pulpit utterances wero almost prophetic. Last Sunday morning and evening, in full vigor of mind and body, he preached striking sermons. Tho morning sermon, from the Ninetieth Psalm, 17th verse, 'And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our handi upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou All that was beautiful he claimed came from God and should be established.

Ho hoped that his work in tho Lord would be established among his people and be proven in the beauty of their lives. His evening text was from the sixth chapter of Matthew, 25th verse: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what yo shall eat, or what ye Bhall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat and tho body than The lifo was the ho said, and needed neither fond nor raiment. Live for eternity and not for the span which ends in the grave and is sustained by food and drink. His last words wera a keynote to his character.

At his death bed somo ono said ho was suffering from angina pectoris. Call it what you please. I am ready to said he." VAN DYKE AND TALUAGE. ESovr (fee MUuudertituuiUiiir Rctirccn Tltem Wa Healed. Before Dr.

ilmagc established his position in Brooklyn beyond doubt or displacement and before it was discerned that his success meant no less measure of success for other churches, complications occurred which put him on trial before tho Presbytery, by which, it will be remembered, ho was acquitted, the result being afterward sustained by the synod and the general assembly. Unpleasant personal feeling then arose between him and tho lato Dr. Van Dyke. The latter did not attend tho meetings of the presbytery for several years. Somo years ago, however, the way was cleared for him to attend again and he resumed the commanding position in tho body he had before held.

About that time was a sctsion of the general assembly, In which Dr. Van Dyke toKa prominent part. Dr. Talmage on that occasion published in tho Christian Henna a very compre hensive biography of Dr. Van Dyke, with an editorial which was most appreciative.

Ho mailed marked copies to every other member of the assembly and three to Dr. Van Dyko. On receiving this overture Dr. Van Dyko at once sent a letter Dr. Talmage.

saying "such coals of fire on my bald pate aro maro than I cau stand" and assuring Dr. Talmago of hisjaft'ection, friendship and best prayers for him and his. That letter was answered at onco in tho samo spirit and the feud as closed, never to bo reopened by thoso men. When tlio new Tabernacle was dedicated, Dr. Van Dyke wrote to Dr.

Talmago a letter so full of kindness, congratulation and good wishes that tho latter was overcome. Tho communication was so affectionate that it was rightly regarded as confidential by tho man who received it though its reception and tonor were publicly acknowledged. After their reconciliation tho two were the best of friends. DEATH OF JAJIttS MAC UEKItY. London', May 20.
