Exercises in Commemoration of Deceased Members of the Order. IN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The Poor Lodges Present Impressive Ceremonies Sermon by Or. Black- ! j well A Urge Congregation. ! The Musical Programme. Members of the Pythian order had every reason to be proud of 'Pythian ism, as it was represented in special exercises in i memory of departed Knights Sunday 'night at the First Baptist Church. The large auditorium and galleries were filled to overflow ing with members of the ofder, their families and friends. The middle tier of seats was reserved for the Knights. At 7.30 o'clock the members of the four lodges, Stonewall No. 1, Claren don No. 2, Germania No. 4 and Jeffer son No. 61,. assembled at Castle Hall, formed in procession, according to the ritual, and moved to the church, two abreast, Jefferson leading, followed by Germania, Clarendon and Stonewall in the order named, while at the rear of the procession were the officers chosen to officiate in the meeting. At the church the procession opened ranks and the lodges passed in in re versed order. They were 'conducted to seats by Chief Marshal W. p. Robertson, of Stonewall, assisted by Messrs. H. Burfeindt, of Germania; W. y . Morriss, of Clarendon, and H. F. Cjtten, of Jefferson. Seated on the strum, m; addition to the pastor, ev. Dr. U. S. Blackwell, were Su preme Master of Exchequer T. D. Meares, serving as C. C. Grand Vice Chancellor W. J. "Woodward as "V. C. ; Past Grand Chancellor John Haar, and Past Chancellors J. D. Kelly and W. A. Willson, Jr., as Prelates; S. Behrends as P C. ; H. E. Bonitz as M. at A., and Past Grand Chancellor Washington Catlett. After the Knights had been rapped to their seats the session proceeded ac cording to the ritual. The musical programme observed was as follows : Organ prelude and postlude, by A. H. Yopp. I Quartette, f'Lead Kindly Ligh" by Miss Fair Payne, soprano; Mrs. A. M. Waddell, contralto ;"Sr. C. V. Motte, tenor, and Mr. A. S. ' Holden, bari tone. ' 1 Solo (selected) by Miss Carrie White. L Quartett' !"Soft Floating on the Evening Air," by Miss Payne, Mrs. Waddell, Mr. Motte, and Mr. Holden. Solo, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Saying," (set to music by Prof. E. Van Laer) by Miss Mattie Home, Closing ode, ''God i Bless Our Knightly Band," (tune of "America." Mr. Ed. H. Munson was accompan ist except j to the solo by Miss White to which Miss Cannie Chasten played the accompaniment. After a 'few selections from 'the Pythian Book of Law, read by Prelate J. D. Kelly, Chancellor ; Commander TV D. Meares ; introduced as a brother Pythian, Drj Blackwell, who deliver ed a special sermon on "The Brother hood of Man." It was given the most profound attention. He began by show ing that the 'us" and "our" of the Lord's Prayer form the password into the brotherhood of man replacing the selfish "I" and "my." Then he told in an intensely dramatic and thrilling way the story of Damdn aud Pythias how Pythias stood inj joyful readiness to die for his friend and how upon this myth as handed down in tradition and story the Pythian order was founded. J , j Iu dwelling upon the beneficence of the Pythian order, the speaker took occasion to repeat the scriptural inci dent of Saul's unselfish conduct in preserving the men of Jabesh Gilead from having their eyes plucked out in compliance with an Order of Nab ash the Tyrant, and the gratitude shown many years afterward by the sons of these men in recovering the body of their benefactor and placing it in an honored grave. j Then followed a story qf two Pyth ian brother engineers, where one . had" divided his salary with the other while he was sick land distressed with the death of his only child"a tagged waif on the train" to ba discovered by the befriended brother of years be fore. The little "orphaned Pythian," found a defender and brother in the strong arms and heart of the man who could never forget a Pythian brother's kindness. Among other good things in this excellent address was the speakers opinion of fraternities. In answer to the question, "are they good or bad?" he said. The abstract principles of all f rater- j nal organizations are of Biblical origin j and therefore good. The man who; impersonates them therefore must be; tenderer in S his sympathies, more catholic in his views, a better father, a more devoted husband and a more: loyal citizen. If, however he gets only; the form and not the spirit of his order, he may become as genial as an angel in the lodge room, and as cross as a bear at home; it may make him glib tongued to speak for "the good of the order," and as dumb as an oyster in his prayer meeting; he may learn to pay promptly his lodge dues and for get his grocers' bills and church dues. There are fraternal hypocrites as well as Christian hypocrites. He said further that he believed that the spirit of fraternity and the purpose to protect each other that has; found ' expression in the numerous fraternal organizations would ere long be found to be the providential pro tector of the individual worker against organized heartless greed of gain that would 'crucify the individual laborer on a cross of gold." Another great; use of fraternity, he thought, was in the fact that owing to then? social side they become -unconsciously great temperance helpers the castle hall WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1899. should be, the weaker brother's refuge in hours of social loneliness. 1 Past Grand Chancellor Washington Catlett spoke briefly but with great tenderness and feeling of the Pythians who had been laid in the tombs in the great city of the dead during the past" year. Then he read the names of the departed Knights, as follows:" ' Stonewall R. C. Schultze. died July 2, 1898; - C. H. Ganger, May 22, 1899 Clarendon S. A. j Swain, Feb. 10, 1899. Germania J. G. Oldenbuttel, June 27, 1898; Geo. Grbtgen, July 4,- 1898; M. J. Dhigelhoef, Aug. 23, 1898; Peter Blomme, Dec. 22, 18"98. An arch in the rear of the chancel bore four groups of lighted candles,' one large light to represent each of the four lodges', and surrounding each smaller candles to represent the de ceased members. As the name of the knight and the! date of his death were read, Master at-Arms Bonitz ; extin guished the light, and when the names of all the deceased of a lodge had been read the candle representing this lodge was itself extinguished.; It was very impressive, as was also the placing of sprigs of myrtle upon a wreath "of immortelles, first by the of ficers and then by-the other Pythians. This is the first celebration of the kind ever held by Pythians here but it was so impressive and so appro priate" that it will without a doubt be repeated "every year hereafter.

There were many in the crowd who claimed to be positive that the prisoner was the man wanted here for the murder of Sarah Holmes, but others were not so certain.' There has been no formal examination of the man by the legal authorities as yet, and the sheriff says that he does not consider his identity established beyond qxiestion. - i Funeral of Mrs. Qaf ford, j , The funeral of Mrs. Esther E.

J. xteaa advertisement in the Stab. t FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. Dr. Hoge's Resignation of His Pas torate Resolutions Adopted by j the Congregation. At a meeting of the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning after a ser mon by Rev. D. J. Currie, of Chapel Hill, the following resolutions were adopted: i r ,1 Whereas: Our' pastor, the Rev. P. H. Hoge, D. D., has signified his purpose to tender to a called, meeting of Wilmington Presbytery, to be held at Wallace on Tuesday, June 20th, his resigna tion as pastor of this church, and has asked this congregation to unite with him in ' the request for the dissolution of the pastoral relation; And Whereas: We are persuaded that this decision has been reached only after prayerful thought and care ful consideration of all the interests involved: Resolved, First : That we accept his interpretation of the leadings of Di vine Providence as to where and un der what conditions he can best serve the interests of the Master's Kingdom, and that we unite with him in asking Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral re lation between him and this church. Second. That in acceding to our -pastor's request we place on record our recognition of the faithfulness and efficiency of the service he has ren dered through the longest and most fruitful pastorate this church has ever enjoyed. For nearly fourteen years he has been a loving and true pastor in our homes, sympathizing in our joys and sorrows, visiting the sick, offering consolation to the dying, and by his tender ministrations endearing himself in a peculiar manner to all tne sorrowing and bereaved. He has pro claimed the gospel in its simplicity and power, and so exemplified it in his life and conversation as to make it at tractive to others, whilst always con tending earnestly for the faith once delivered to the Saints. The fruitful ness of his labors is attested by the ac cessions to the rolls of the church and the increased beneficence of its mem bers. During his pastorate 403 mem bers have been received on' examina tion and 165 by certificate, while the contributions of the congregation have aggregated one hundred and ninety- thousand dollars. r Third. That in addition to his duties as pastor and minister of the Word, Dr. Hoge has been a faithful worker and an able and wise counsellor in all our church courts from Presbytery to General Assembly; and with -exemplary fidelity has met the responsibili ties of a public spirited and patriotic citizen of our community and State. Therefore, in the severance of his re lations with the Southern General As sembly we recognize not only a loss to ourselves, but a distinct loss to our whole Southern Church and people, i U ourtn. That we commend him and his family to the loving care and Christian fellowship of those among whom he shall serve in future; and pray that under the Divine blessing his labors may be crowned with abun dant fruit whether in Warren Memo rial Church of Louisville, Ky., to which he now goes, or in other fields and that at last his labors ended an abundant entrance may be ministered to him; and that pastor and people may be re-united in the everlasting Kingdom of our God and His Father, where there are neither conflicting duties and interests nor painful sepa rations, i Mr. C. H. Robinson, moved that the resolutions be adopted, regarding that there was nothing else to do. There was a deathlike stillness in the house, and Mr. W. M. Cumming arose, and with great emotion, said:' - Mr. Moderator: I feel as if there were a death in the family I feel as if there were a corpse in the house and yet with our Brother Robinson I feel that there is "nothing else to do" but to accept the inevitable. But my mends, while 1 taus second the motion Mr. Robinson has made, I feel that there is another side of this matter for us to look atr We all feel that it is a stunning blow to our church. I see deep emotion on all sides, my Own heart throbs in perfect sympathy with it, but my friends what are we to do? Are we to stop? Are we to let the work of years go for naught? On that dark night at Chan cellorsville, when Stonewall Jackson fell and his devoted and horrified fol lowerllearned the truth, what did they say? "Let us surrender." "Let us lay down our arms." Let us retreat before the foe." No; nev er! Such a thought never enter ed their minds. The rallying cry was "Charge and remember Jackson," and with that cry they did charge to victory; and so at this crisis in our church life let us arise to the emer gency and let us make our rallying cry against the hosts of evil '.'Charge and remember Dr. Hoge and his four teen years of faithful service." -Yesterday a young man said to me let us close tne doors of the church and nail them up. This morning a lady met me on my way to church and said I shall never take any more interest in tne church after Dr. Hoge leaves us. I shall attend, of course, but merely from a sense of duty. But I say to you, my friends, that this is wrong. It is not Dr. Hoge's church; it is Christ's church. Our pastor is but a subordinate officer under the Great Captain of ouv-Salvation ; and he is not dead, but merely put in command of another regiment in another quarter of the field; j and, as soldiers of Christ, it is our duty to take up the falling banner and by. how much we are devoted .to our former pastor,: by how much we ap- Ereciate his labors with us in the past, y so much endeavor to carry on the warfare with all our might, and to the extent of the ability that God has given us. Who our new leader shall be we cannot even think of now. But one will surely be provided and under his guidance, as he follows the Master, we should labor in the church, in the Sabbath school, in Immanuel chapel, upholding him by our prayers, by our labors and with our pocket-books, and with renewed zeal let "the memory of the past be the inspiration . of the future." . ; - ';, :' ; -: Col. Jno: D. Taylor also spoke very feelingly, and others made brief re marks, all uniting, in deploring the necessities which demanded Dr. Hoge's leaving the church.

DEFENCE MAY TAKE APPEAL. Eveidence Much the Same As at Prelimi nary Trial Exception by Defend ants' Counsel to Judge's Charge. V Polltz's Case To-day. Walter Silvey, recently arrested by U. S. Secret Service Detective B, -F. Perry on the charge of making coun terfeit nickels of the United States currency, was placed on trial in the District Court yesterday and convicted. Judge Purnell has not yet passed sen tence upon him, but it is expected that he will do so to-day, when the case gainst Nicholas poliiz, charged with counterfeiting quarters, halves and dollars; will also be called for trial. The case against -Walter Silvey was called at 9 o'clock yesterday morning when the Court convened, and it . was 1.47 o'clock in the afternoon when the jury returned a verdict of guilty. , Testimony and Argument. The evidence against . Silvey was much the same as that before the United States Commissioner at the preliminary examination, published in detail in previous issues of the Stab. The first witness put on the stand for the prosecution was Mr. Perry, of the Secret Service, who' told the story of the complaint of business men as to the making of spurious nickels and of his coming here' to hunt down the counterfeiters and Of the arrest of Silvey and the finding of the plaster moulds, the metal, melting pot, ladles and a quantity of spurious coin in Silvey's room at his father's residence. He testified that Silvey at first denied that he knew anything about the counterfeiting, and on being told that Mr. Perry knew where his outfit was, led him to the room,, where the coin and outfit were found in a trunk. Silvey explained the fact of his having the .coin and moulds by saying that he made the coin to get even with the slot machines. Mr. Hall Whitney testified that Sil vey told him that he was making nickels, and that after he (Silvey) was arrested Silvey met him on the street and accused him of giving him (Sil vey) away to the officers, declaring that he would get even ' with him for it. Mr. Whitney testified 'that he did not report Silvey to the officers. Constable William Sheehan and Captain of Police John Furlong testi fied to incidents attending the arrest of Silvey, having been -with Detective Perry on the occasion; and told of the finding of the counterfeiting outfit1 j No other witnesses were examined for the prosecution and the defence offered no rebutal evidence, the counsel basins their fight for Silvey's Vindication upon the contention that the coin made by Silvey was not a counterfeit of the United States nickel and their client was not therefore guilty under "the bill of indictment. Able speeches for the defence were made by Geo. Rountree, Esq., and Marsden Bellamy, Esq. Speeches for the prosecution were made by District Attorney C. M. Bernard and his as sistant, Oscar J. I; Spears, Esq. A claim upon which special stress was laid by the defence was that to he a counterfeit the coin must be an imi tation of both sides of the United States coin, and the coin made by Silvey was only an imitation on one side having the head of the Goddess of Liberty en circled by stars on both sides. On the same grounds they contended that the possession of the moulds by Silvey was not a violation of statute because it was not a mould for. counterfeiting money. Judge Pnrnell's Charge. In his charge Judge Purnell in structed the jury that a coin need not bear the government stamp inscribed on the the reverse side but if one side is a sufficient imitation to deceive a man of ordinary caution it is, within the meaning of the statute, a coun terfeit. . . ' The charge was brief. A feature was the reading of the statutes bear ing upon the three charges made against Silvey. At the conclusion of the charge Mr. Rountree gave notice of, an exception, which was duly entered in the pres ence of the jury. The counsel for the defence is considering the question of appealing from 'the decision of the District Court. j - Other Cases Called Yesterday. After the hearing of the Silvey case, B. F. Pinion was tried and found not guilty-of retailing " , ! The case against Nellie and Wesley Jacobs, both colored, for breaking into the postoffice at Pate's, N.

Judge Purnell issued an order that the Marshal summons twenty citizens from the body of the district outside of Wilmington to attend and serve as, jurors to-day. They are declared "ne cessary for the trial of felonies pend ing at this term, "j ! It is understood that the jury for the trial of the Politz case will be largely taken from this hew venire.

Perry, of the United States I Secret Service, arrested another man charged with counterfeiting nickel currency last night. His name isT. O. Dwakins, a Greek, who has been a resident of thiscit for about six years. He clerked for Tony Fantopula at one time, but has recently been engaged as a carpenter at the Delgado Cotton Mills, ' now being constructed. He lives, at the corner of Fourth and'Har' nett streets. Mr. Perry, accompanied by Captain of Police Jno. Furlong, went out to Dawkins' residence about 9.30 o'clock and placed him under ar rest. The house was searched and a set of moulds and a quantity of coun terfeit nickels found. There - were thirty or forty of them, excellent counterfeits of the legal' tender nickels. They differ ; from the coin made by Walter Silvey, in that they have the "V," wreath and other char acters on the reverse side, (being a counterfeit of both sides of the legal nickel, while Silvey's had the God dess of Liberty date and stars on both sides. Dawkins- denies that he was interested in the counterfeiting, and gave the name of a second party, to whom he claimed the moulds and nickels belong. He was carried . be fore United States Commissioner Col lier, and was committed to prison in default of $5,000 bond. ! REUNION DINNER!. Mr. Jobn R.
