2 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, .'llie explanation did not sewn to satisfy Rev. Brown, and he was disposed to com ■“l can’t see that the situation has been he said: “there is nothing to the continued use of instrumental 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.

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. THE ICE WAGONS GET THERE. They Double the Tennesseeans’ Score with Ease.

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 union stonecutters to-morrow, and refuse them further employment until they cease interfering with the non-union employes.

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. _ Weather Indications.
