ORGANS NOT INSPIRED.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC VERSUS
INSPIRED MUSIC.
Animated Debate by the General As
sembly of the United Presbyterian
Church on the Use of Instrumental
Music—The Brothers Get Warm and
Declare the Organ Must Go.
Philadelphia, May 31.—The question of
Instrumental music in the churches will not
stay settled in the General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian church. It came up
again to-day in the discussion of the report
of the General Committee on Home Mis
sions. In the course of the discussion on the
report., general charges of unfaithfulness on
the i>art of the missionaries were made by
Rev. S. Kennedy, creatii* something of a
sensation. The burden of his complaint was
that they had used instrumental music in
their service, “in disobedience,” he added,
“of Christ. So long as uninspired melody is
used,” he continued, “the church null not
contribute tJb the home missions.”
THE BRETHREN GET EXCITED.
A somewhat animated debate followed,
and in a brief defense on the report. Rev. J.
R. McAllister, of Massachusetts, made light
of Mr. Kennedy’s charges and declared he
was “tired of this waving of the bloody
shirt.” To bring the point formally before
the assembly, Rev. J. G. Carson, seconded
by Rev. George C. Vincent, presented this
proposition:
Resolved, That no part of the money appro
priated in this report shall be expended in any
congregation which is known to use instruments
of music in connection with the worship of
God.
The yeas and nays were called for on this
resolution, the result being a decisive vic
tory for the advocates of instrumental
music.
The resolution was overwhelmingly de
feated. The vote for instrumental
music was 122 against 58.
THE ISSUE AGAIN CP.
later on, when other business was under
consideration. Rev. James Brown revived
the music issue by asking: “Am I right in
understanding that the rejection of Dr.
Carson's resolution means that the corrup
tion of and innovation on the worship of
God in the mission work by the use of in
struments of music is to be" continued at the
pleasure of the board f”
‘ ‘The rejection of the resolulution,” an
swered Moderator Gibson, “means that this
assembly declines to impose upon the board
any additional rules. They now have
ample regulations on the sub-
and by its action to-day
assembly declines to aid any more,

Brown, and he was disposed to com

As no one seemed disposed to
argue the point the subject was
■popped.
IT AGAIN REAPPEARS.
■ The church extension was discussed at
Kpme length, and the report on that subject
was favorably acted upon.
In this connection Rev. Dr. Carson found
opportunity to say that he desired it to lie
recorded that his views on the matter of
the home missions, with regard to
the instrumental music, be applied
as well to the church extension work.
He could not conscientiously contribute to
that work if instrumental music was used
in the churches erected by the extension
funds. Dr. Carson then read a protest
which he desired to have entered against
the action of the assembly in granting ap
propriations to persons and churches where
instrumental music is used. Several of the
members signified their intention of signing
the protest.
SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Mortgages Cannot be Taxed in Penn
sylvania.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 31.—The Su
preme Court to-day upheld a number of the
decisions of the lower courts from which an
appeal was taken, denying the right of the
State to tax mortgages The decision cuts
off about $500,000 revenue, but settles this
long-vexed question.
Charters Revoked.
Philadelphia, May 31.—The charters of
the National Carpet Workers’ Distinct As
semblj- No. 120, and of eighteen local assem
blies attached to it, have been revoked by
the General Assembly of the Knights of La
bor, and steps have been taken to secure the
property in their possession belonging to the
order. This action affects about 10,000 car
pet workers in New York, Philadelphia,
Yonkers and Amsterdam, N. Y., none of
whom are hereafter to be recognized as
Knights of Labor. It is the outcome of the
attitude of District Assembly No. 136, of
which John Morrison is the Master Work
man, toward the General Executive Board,
and the cause assigned is the repeated insub
ordination-and disobedience, and a defiant
disregard of the rules of the order.
An Unnatural Father’s Arrest.

CHARLESTON WILL NOT DROP.
President Orders the Southern League
to Play With Five Clubs.
Memphis, May 31.—President Morrow,
Capt. Carnes, of this city, and Toby Hart,
of New Orleans, have been in consultation
here to-day for the purpose of deciding the
best course to be pursued in regard to the
continuance of the Southern League. As
Savannah has dropped out it was
deemed advisable to offer
the Charleston club a monetary considera
tion to drop out for the present season and
allow the New Orleans. Birmingham,
Nashville and Memphis clubs to continue
the season. All the League directors regard
Charleston as a good base ball town, but
owing to its geographical situation it would
require expensive railroad travel to reach
the town with a five club schedule. After
considerable telegraphing between the
league officials und the Charleston club, the
project of a four club league has lioen
abandoned, and President Morrow has to
night issued orders to all the clubs
to continue, as per the original schedule,
and lay off whenever the schedule dates
make the Savannah club the opjiosiiig team.
President Morrow expresses much sur
prise at the action of President Hard, of
Charleston, who insists that he will not with
drew from the league for less than
$6,000. About two weeks ago President
Hard wrote to President Morrow and ex
pressed a willingness to drop out oL the
league provided all the clubs would
play all the games scheduled at Charles
ton for the present series, which ends
June 4. Thinking Charleston really
wished to withdraw after June 4, President
Morrow called the conference in this city
to-dav to consider the advisability of offer
ing that dub SI,OOO to withdraw. This
offer was submitted, but has been declined
by President Hard, who says that he has
never entertained any idea of withdrawing.
Umpire IS’. C. Atkinson has been released
aud Umpire Tony Buck has been ordered to
relieve him to-morrdw at Charleston.

MURDEROUS STRIKERS.
Workmen Dynamited and Then Shot
At by Coke Strikers.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 31.—Alxiut 2::i0
o’clock this morning an attempt was made
to blow up the shaft building of the Pitts
burg and Cleveland Gas, Coal and Coke
Company at Davidson station on the South
west Pennsylvania railroad, about three
quarters of a mile north of Connellsville.
The bomb, made of one and a half inch gas
pipe, filled with dynamite and plugged with
an oak plug, was placed under the
building and fired. It was not
f laced far enough under the
Bidding to accomplish the object sought.
No serious damage was done. The punqier,
one fireman and the watchman were in the
building at the time, and when the explo
sion occurred they ran out and were tired
upon by the dynamiters. There were three
and possibly four men in the party, but
none .were recognized. After firing about a
dozen shots at tlie men who were in the
building they ran toward Connellsville. The
dynamiters are supposed to be strikers and
to lieiong about Connellsville. There can lie
no reason assigned for the act except pure
deviltry, as there was no work being done
and no"attempt to work except pumping
water out of the mines.
Against the Unions.
Philadelphia, May 31.—The Master
Masons’ Association, composed of nine
firms, to-day decided to lock out oil their

About 300 men will work on as usual, and
such of the union employes as pledge them
selves not to interfere with the non-union
hands will lx: restored to their old places.
Molders Still Unsatisfied.
Chicago, May 31.—The molders say that
the sending back of the Bridge-Beach Com
panies’ patterns does not end the trouble be
tween Cribben & Sexton and other foundry
men throughout the country. The inold
ers claim that they have all along Ixnmi dis
satisfied with the wages paid them, and that
it is more than probable that a general de
mand for higher wages will be made.

City of Mf.xico via Galveston, May
3).—The government Is having the theatres
awl other large public buildings carefully
inspected to see if any serious damage,
which might result in future catastrophes,
occurred during the earthquake Sunday.
The jxilice reports show few accidents
caused by the shock. Some roofs fell in,
injuring several persons, some small
houses were overthrown. It will cost a
large sum to repair the broken section of
the aqueduct. Much anxiety is felt as to
the condition of the Cathedral, the cupola
of which was cracked by the shock.

New York, May 31.—The ballot held at
the Produce Exchange to-day relative to the
proposed amendment to the by-laws, allow

Foul Murder at Rabun Gap.
William Echols, a young white man liv
ing at Cornelia, one of tho best known
young men in the neighborhood of Rabun
Gap, was foully murdered Sunday by per
sons unknown. Early in the evening Echols
went to Mt. Airy to take supper with
his brother, who lives at that place. He
left his brother’s house at about 8 o’clock
aud started on his homeward journey.
Early Monday morning some people travel
ing along the road between those two places,
came across evidences of a struggle and a
lot of bhxxi. Tracks led from the spot off
from the road, and following these
a horrible sight met the gaze of
the members of the party. There,
half concealed in some underbrush, lay the
body of Echols. His face was mashed be
yond all recognition, and for a distance of
thirty yards along the trail which they had
followed were seen portions of the dead
nian’s brains. People living in the vicinity
remembered having heard pistol shots that
night, but as no cries were heard they did
not deem an investigation necessary. If
Echols was shot it must have been in the
head, as no traces of any bullets could be
found. Ills head was beaten to a jelly, and
all traces of pistol wounds had been" oblit
erated. The Coroner viewed the body and
rendered a verdict in accordance with these
facts. There is no clue to the perpetrator or
perpetrators of this foul murder. Echols
was a fine young man, popular with his ac
quaintances, and great indignation is felt
over his murder.
