The will divides th property among his eight grand children, share and share alike.

But as this is not the case it is a little tiresome to have to read about so much irrela- vanti matter. ' I think a man's religious faith is his; own private matter' and does npt concern any one but himself. If the professors of such a college all belonged to one church, or none at ail, it is all right, provided they are properly quali- hed for the duties, it is not their duty to teach any special brand of faith, but to cenhne themselves to the text books. Ij am aware that there is a wide-spread I ,fj!. s denominational prejudice among, our Deoplebut ib ought not to be.

The Senate proceeded to the considera tion of Mr. Piatt's resolution for pub He executive sessions and a speech of Mr; Morrill (who is sick and absent) against the proposed change, was read by Mr. Manderson. Mr. Morrill thought his friend from Connecticut (Mr. Piatt) was, in this matter, 1 'im mensely wrong." At the conclusion of the reading of Mr; Morrill's speech, Mr. Hoar spoke at great length in opposition to Mr. Piatt's resolution. ; "When he had con cluded, two pension vetoes were laid be fore the Senate and referred to tho pen sion commissioner. The conference report on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was submitted by Mr. Allison and agreed to. Ihe chair laid before the Senate the' joint resolution extending the appropri ation for ten days. Mr. hdmunds ob jected to the second reading ot the joint resolution for reasons which he said he would state tomorrow. The Senate proceeded to the consid eration of the legislative appropriation bill. In the course of discussion on the amendments increasing the clerical force of some of the departments, Mr. Beck declared that he felt humiliated by the fact; that many of the appropriations were diminished so that the members of the House might bo able to go to their country and say how economically they were and how extravagant the Senate was: lie also criticised the House for its delay in passing: appropriation bills. The sundry civil appropriation i bill m -ass. was' not yet sent to thn Senate. The' legislative bill was in its prosmt condition on the last day of the fiscal year. The naval bill had not been consid ered, the deficiency had not been look ed at. He was not proud of the record. Mr. Plumb said the House took all the time it needed and then it launched ap propriation bills on the Senate without giving the Senate time to consider them. Ihe? legislative bill should have had much more consideration than the Sen ate appropriation oommittee had been able to give it. It had to take many things blindly. He thought it would be a good idea for the Senate and the House to remain in session till Septem ber, October or November, until efery item in the appropriation bills had been full ', scrutinised. The conference re port on District of Columbia appropria- uon diii was Buomiuea ana explained by Mr. Plumb and was agreed to. Aftei disposing of 4b pages of legis ative bill the Senate had a brief execu tive session, and at op. m , took recess till 8 p. m. UOCBX. I Mr. Boyle, of Pennsylvania, from the Pan-electric committee, submitted a report signed by four members of the committee upon the subject of its investi- gauon. it is accompanied Dy tae fol lowing resolution: ; j KeBolved, That a full, fair and ex haustive investigation has failed to ad duce: any evidence which tends to show that attorney general Garland, solicitor general ttoode, secretary Lamar, Indian commissioner Atkins, railroad commis sioner Johnston or Senator Harris, they being the officers named m the Pan electric publication: of the newspaper press wnicn gave rise to wis investiga tion, did any act, omcial or otherwise, connected with the matter inveFtigatcd which was dishonest, dishonorable or censurable. The report an J resolution (which is concurred in by Mr. Hale,) were referred to the; House calendar. Mr. Ramsey, of Massachusetts; also submitted a report tigued by four Re publican members of the committee'. Mr. Hale, of Missouri, presented his individual views. ; I These reports were placed upon the calendar. i Mr, Reed, of Maine, reserved all points .of order against the resolution accompanying Mr. Boyle's report,, and Mr. Ramsey stated that the resolution had never been submitted to the com mittee or acted upon by it. He also re served all points. Mr. Boyle said that the resolution had been presented ; with the consent of the gentleman from Massachusetts, who had expressly waived any meeting of the committee. Mr. Ramsey replied that that was true as far as the report was concerned,, but he had never seen or heard of the reso lution before. Mr, Boyle therefore asked to with draw the report and resolution but Mr. Hale objected. The committee rose for the purpose of enabling Mr. Randall to present and the li use to pass a joint resolution to provide for ten days from today last day oi tne nsoai year;, ior ex penditures of the government not pro- 11 r it.

TIIRBATBN JNQ. Chicago, June 30. The two ca loards of Pinkerton men arrived at Roor street shortly after 2 o'clock this mornt ing, and business was immediately be gun by tho Lake SHore company. The entire Pinkerton force, with the excep tion of half a dozen men,, arc now armed with rifles, and a guard was sent out with every train and accompanied it to Colehour. The trouble at the stock yards last night, while not serious in itself, is looked upon by the officials as indicitive of a new source of danger. Employes of the packing houses to the number of 10,000, are in thorough sym- Jiathy with the striken, and' as they now eave work at 4:30 p. mj. their presence in the neighborhood of thu wrecked trains it is thought to be somewhat ineai.aciug. The switchmen employe!! "by" the other roads in the Ptoek yards are not trusted implicitly by the Lake Shore officers, who are of the opinion that any one of them would embrace an opportunity of turning the switch under the moving train, From Chicago to Miller's Station, Indiana, for thirty miles fences, switch houses and telegraph poles are de corated' with posters offering $5,000 rewarlfor the arrest and conviction of any one violating that section of the statutes, which prohibits the interfere ence with the property of the railroad company by any outsider. The strikers laugh at the notices and thick it absurd to suppore that; any of their number would , turn informer for any reward. While there seems no likelihood of any trouble today except, perhaps, at the ' stock yards, there is considerable anxiety manifested on both sides as to the probable action to be taken by the Lake Shore switchmen at other points. The yardmaster of the. Toledo yards has, been in Chicago since the commencement f the strike, and yesterday received dispatches from some of his trusted men at home, say in his presence was required there without de- I lay as a strike seemed imminent. He left for Toledo last night. A Heavy Ovr-Iasa of Bonds. Philadelphia, Pa., Juno 30l A hasty summoning of the members of the board of directors of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company at an early hour this forenoon, created a stir in financial . circles, and the report quickly flew about that a heavy defalca tion had been discovered in the accounts of one of the offisers. The company is one of the oldest and was a . ' m . in earlier times one ot the wealth iest corporation in the Middle States, holding charters noder the. leg islatures of Pennaylvai ii, .Delaware and Maryland. The first r:mor that reached the street was that treasurer James A. L. Wilson had defaulted in his account to the extent of $178,000. The fact as subsequently ascertained more accurately were that an over-issue of bonds to the amount of 8615.260 was made under a thirty-year mortgage oan of the company of July, 1856. for $280,000. The loan matures tomorrow and preparations having been made for its extension, the return of tho bond for certification at the office today would have revealed the over-issue. Treas urer Wilson did not appear at the office today, but on his desk was a note con taining a confession of guilty knowledge of the fraudulent transaction. He left the city last night, it its alleged, in the company Of Henry V. Lesley, a former treasurer, under whose administration the over-issue was made. Wilson is about fifty-five years of age and for over thirty years haa been oonnected ith the Chesapeake & Delaware canal company, having been its treasurer since 1083, when he succeeded Lesley.

A Gatesville, Texas, special says : James Cooper and James Van Winkle fought an informal duel with revolvers yesterday on Brown Creek, in Caryell county. Both were fatally wounded. Cooper was shot in the head and died in a few minntes, and Van Winkle was shot through the bow els, and: has since died. Cooper and Van Winkle were mortal enemies, having quarreled about a year ago over some cattle. Yesterday they met on Brown Creek, and after some hot words, they agreed to fight to tho death. : They measured off the ground and each with his watch in his hand waited for the moment agreed upon ior opening fire. At the appointed timo two shots rang out almost simultaneous ly, Van Winkle had received his fatal wound, but Cooper was not scratched. Another round was fired and Cooper fell with a bullet in his brain. This is the story told by Van Winkle before his death. The firing attracted some herders, abot t one mile distant, and they cared for the wounded man-until he died. Washington. June 30.
