Wednesday afternoon's session was held in Cannon yille Presby- teriui chnroh. An address of welcome was delivered by Rev. W 0 Alexander. A response was given by Dr. J M Wharey. The meeting was held at this place in order that the members ot the Presbytery mi bt see the work of the Home Mission in erecting a beantifnl boose of worship for the people in that part of Concord. A request was made by the congregation of Sonthtowe ohnrob to change its name to Newdale. The request was granted. The place for holding the Con cord Presbytery this fall will be at Conoord chnroh, in Iredell oonnty, it having been decided at the afternoon session Wednesday. The commissioners to the Qenoral Assembly which meets in Richmond in May were selected. They are: Rey. J B Shearer, Rev. W 0 Alexander, Mr. Chalmers Rankin, of Mooresville, and Dr. D O Ramsey, of Third Creek. The alternates are Rey. Graham and Rev. Mnnroe. Rev. Geo. L Cook was examined and received as a member of this Prefbytery. The call which was presented from the Poplar Tent chnrch Wednesday asking for his services was placed in his hands. By request Rev. Chas. F Ran kin was dismipBed from this Presbytery, to tbe Fayotteville Presbytery, he haying accepted a call to Red Springs some days ago. At the night session tbe report of the Home mission was made by Rev. McLaur'n. The report showed that only two churches had been vacant during the time. A motion was adopted wherein the evangelists will hereafter en deavor to assist in the collec tions for chnrch extensions. It was also decided that on the fifth of each month a collection would be taken in each chnroh for the same tnnd. At the morning, service today (Thursday) Rev. A J McKelway, editor of the Presbyterian Stand ard, made his report as to the work of the organ of the Presby terian chnroh, stating that its condition financially was better than in the past showing a larger subscription list. Rey. Dr. Shearer, president of Davidson college, made a report as to the condition of the schools whioh are under the care and guidance of the Presbytery, which report was bright and welcoming. Rey. C. Miller made a report as to the colored eynelistio work. The morning sermon wai de livered by Rev. J M Wharay, of Mooresville. Daily ot 13th. WITH THE PRESBYTERS. KaancmbarlBS tba orphans Slav. Caak aerepta Poplar Tent 1 barer Rev. Brawn Bpeaha af Banners Klk-ltry, Arrweod oe In Frank. Iln, At the afternoon session of the Presbytery Thursday Rev. Arro- wood made a report as to the Sunday sohools of tbe difterent onurohea. The report was both interesting and encouraging. It" Was recommended to the Presbytery by the Synod through Rev. Graham that the Sabbath schools of the different churphos take a collection Borne time dur ing the month ot Jane for the benefit of the Barium Springs orphanage. This recommenda tion was adopted. The church narratives were handed in by the different ones in their regular form. The re port showed its greatest defici ency in the holding of family worship. It will be remembered that on Tuesday a call was extended to Rev. Geo. L. Cook by thePopl ir Tent congregation. Rv, Qpok, after beiug made a member of this Presbytery, took charge of the call and stated Thursday afternoon that he had decided tg to acot-pt the same, Rev. Brown spoke most com plimentary of the work no being done at Banners Elk and aeked tbe PrwsWtery to be allowed to solicit sobsoripti.iijs f.T feonio ad ditions to be made. He was allowed the privilege. The report as to ihe sessional reoords was made, showing that they had been kept neatly and satisfactorily with but very few exceptions. Rev. Arrowood informed the Presbytery that he had deoided to accept a call to Franklin ohurcb. A popular meeting in the inter est of foreign missions was held Thursday night, consisting of talks by different ministers along this line. Rev, Boyt, who has charge of the Barinm Springs Orphanage, was not present to make his re port, bnt Rev. J Rumple, D. D., presented some interesting facts to the Presbytery as to the con dition of the orphnnage. He stated that through the liberality of Mrs. S P Lees, of New York City, a conyonient and tasteful new brick building for boys has been erected and is ready for occupation as soon as famished. It will accommodate twenty-five boys, together with a matron and teacher. ' It costs the people nothing except the furnishing. There is a pressing need for another building- there a home for the superintendent and his family. The brick for the building are on the ground, the site sulected, and it is hoped that tho necessary amount be speedily collected. There are now One hundred orphans at the borne, and it will soon be ready to accommodate twenty-five more. The funds in the treasury are now small and it is urged that the collections be obtained at the appointed time in Jane or earlier if possible. It was further de sired that the Sunday schools, voluntary societies, and individuals who bave plodded regular con tributions observe the regular tines for these contribu'ions and if possible to increase. After having a session this (Frii dsj) morning, and some minor mat ters were attended to, the Presbjtery adjourned finally, to meet this fall at Conoord Ob u rob.. Before ad j nrnmcnt the following resolutions ere passed : Resolved, First, That the Preeby- tery very incerslv extend its thanks to tbe pastor and members of the First chnrch and of Cannon ville and also to t'le members of all churches in the oommnnity for their bospis tahty to those who bave spent these few days to happily in the midst of this beautiful oity and within ihia Christian borne circles.

J Rump'e, D. D.. Rev W It MoLellind and Rev. J M Wbarey, D. D., the committee to frame resos lut'ons on Mormoaism, reported last Thursday afternoon the follow-, ing reto!utioDfi,which will be read in all the ch arches : "The committee appointed to con aider and report on certain papers referred to them npon the subjeot of Mormonism, respectfully report that quite a number of subjects are embraced In these papers, especially, "First, That Mormonism teaches that polygamy or celestial marringe is a doctrine of their society and that it is the dnty of Rood Mormons to 'live their religion' (that is, prsctice plural marriage); that such mar ring s have been contracted since the admission of Utah into the Union, contrary to thnir covenant as a con dition of their statehood, and espe cinllj UoDgreaaman-oleot B H Robs ens is an avowed, practical polyga mic and that be waa eleoted for the tbe purpose of testing the constitns tionality of the United States laws ,n the subject "Second, It is farther stated that the Mormon Chnrch has now about 2,000 missionaries in many States of the Union endeavoring to make con verts to their 60ul-destroying cystetn. "These papers make a request that petitions be prepared and pres nted to our reepteiive Congressmen, aek. ing them to co-operate iu expelling the Mormon poiygamiat from the United States Congnsi and to take the necessary steps for tbe disfran chisement of all polygamists in re spect to all matters concerning the Fid'Ml government. "These matters, your committee think, are of very grave importance and deserve onr serious and careful attention. Your committee are aware that 'Syoods and councils are to handle or coaolude nothing but that which is ecclesiastical, and are not to intermeddle with civil affaire, which concern tbe Commonwealth, nnleea by way of humble petition in cases extraordinary'; at tbe same time it iB tie duty of Presbyteries to oondemn erroneous opinions, which injurs the pnrety or peace of the Church,' and to ordain whatsos ever pertains to tbe spiritual welfare of the churohes nnder their care.' In view of these facts : "First, The Presbytery wonld soK emnly enjoin npon its ministers to instruct the people concerning tbe dangerous attitude of tbe Mormon onrbination against the sacred rights of tbe family, and especially ugainst tbe God'-given rights ct wo man. ''Second, We would respectively urge all of our people to inform themselves and their families cons cerning the object of these Bocalled elders, who creep into houses, diffuse error, and pervert the minds of our people from tbe troth of the Gospel. "Third, 'That our citizens be urged to remember that it is not only their privilege, bnt their solemn duty, by their votes, snd by advice and petition, to guard the liberty of our people against the encroachment of eviUdispoaed persons and combi nations who would lap the yery foundations sf morality and destroy the purity of tbe family. "Fourth, That the emergency be fore as qow is one of those extraor dinary civil affairs, which not only justify the interference of our relig ious people.bnt imperatively demand that they should express their wishes to their representatives in the next Congress of the United Statea, "Fifth, That we recommend that our people prayerfully consider the dangers that threaten the very foun dations of society, and that they cua rotate petitions and seoore eigurs tores thereto against Mormon aggressiveness, in order that ccr Representatives In Congress may be oonstrained to take such aatioti as will be fftiotive in guarding the righi of the family and in fostering and proto log public morality.' rr Over ri lvlVeara Mrs. Winalow's Soothing 3yrup hue been used for over fifty years by millions of mothers for their child ren while teething, with perfeot auo. cess.

Dr. Tracy made his debut in our town Thursday night in the Baptist church. It is a commodi ous building and was well nigh filled. Doubtless as the dector said, many came to see and hear the "New Man." Well it was worth the going, for the doctor is very entertaining. He has a zeal and enthusiasm that warms the atmosphere about him and be enters into bis theme with such vigor that we snspect that like a cyclone he will draw you up to him as 'the votex or blow you clean away. He is versatile as a splendid stager and original as a genuine wit. His mimicry keeps the little folks well awake and ready for another laugh while the older, stayed worshippers that would hardly allow themselves to crack a smile in church ever and anon find thcmsolves indulging the hilar'ous ha 1 ha 1 All this vein iu the doctor seems but the me thod he employs to bring home to to the audience some telling force ou the line of his theme, tem perance. Tbe doctor's temperament is such that, of course, there is no ground for him but that of ex treme distance from the liquor centres. Nor is he one of a very small class. This forms one of the very strong objections to a licensed bar room however well kept. There are those who are Bev erly tried to resist the tsmptation and tire doctor wcllsaid,that while he would like to scratch out the eyes of all the blind ticers in Con cord, no number of thorn could produce the evils wroueht by the open barroom. The blind tiger docs not send forth fumes by which to unnerve tho peculiarly constituted who are as much entitled to the term "awn" as any can be. The sterooptioon pictures on the canvass are verv protty, Tne illustration of "Rock of Aces," "Nearer My God to Thee," etc., while these good old soul stirring hymns were being sung or while pauses were made for the lecturer to dilate on them were truly grand and it was like bathing the de voted soul in soas of heavenly rest or illuminating it with the light about the celestial throne. Several animated pictures were shown that were quite satisfactory, especially that of the heaving bil lows of the stormy ocean as it dashed up the frothy sprays on tbe beach. We must not allow to pass untouched the duet sung by Rev. and Mrs. Rauobo, "Will You Be Wubhed in the Blood of the Lamb." The audience was held in the grasp of the most atten tive delight at its unique render ing. Daily of 14th. CHANCES NOT GOOD. Heealer Krlrt'a I. lie Is at "take and He Will Probably Have la Hntrer the Benin Penalty rbe Witnesses Discharged. Dr. R S Young returned home Friday nibt from Washington City where he was summoned as a witness in the case wherein Keesler Reid, a negro of this place, is being tried for his life for the killing of a negro woman on ths streets there some months ago, The plea of insanity was put in by tho colored attorneys but it seems that they were not competent to make the defense. Aleck Ried, a brother of the oharged murderer, thinking that there were no more hopes of saving bis brother's life, and de siring to get away before death sentence wss pronounced, re turned home today (Saturday). The trial was not finished when he left though he felt that be knew what the verdict would be. Keesler seems to take no interest in the trial himself. After he committed bis death deed on the street he walked on to his board ing house in an unconcerned way, which together with the fact that he inherits insanity, makes it seem that be was not sano at tbe time.

This date conflicts, how ever, with the commencement of Elizibcth college and bo another has been agitated, which is tbe 4th of May, the time which was first fixed. The petition to the effect was started Wednesday at Mt. Pleasant, and the required camber of petitioners onts fifth has been eeoured. UntlnlKhed Work. An nnQniebed structure of any kind is always suggestive and often pain ful to look npon. We never puss a house that has remained nnQniebed for any length of time without thinking that somes thing unusual must have ocenrred after the building was beua. It is a ereat satisfaction to lock npon anything that we have nnder taken and aay that it is finished. Habit has a great deal to do with thoroughness. In like manner tbe disposition to complete one thing before beginning another is largely dus to habit. The pupil who drops out of school belore be has nniBbed tbe course can never retrieve the lose. When' ever hs reverts to hia school days be Bees there an unfinished work that is net pleasant to confemp!ate. 11a net only misses the knowledge and diesiplin that come from pur suing the studies, bnt he starts out in life by leaving a work not finished and rounded up as it should be. Ciroumstacoes may sometimes be suoh that it is not possible to con tinue to tbe end of the course. Bat for the most part when pupils drop out it ia for lack of perseverance and determination. No matter if a child is not intend ing to enter college or study for a profession, he can not well afford to leave school till the last lesson of the required coarse has teen recited. 0. S.

Two more cases have been found to be recorded on the criminal docket for the coming court. Both of them are charges of selling whis key. Two negroes, John Isenbour snd Abram Brown have been ar rested and tried. The case is too plain for their release, hence they are bound over to court. Their indictment was secured through the services of Mr. J E Garrison, of Charlotte, who sometimes serves on the police force here, and who has been doing some detective wotk here. He bought whiskey from both of the negroes on the fourth of this month. John Ieenhonr suc ceeded in getting his $200 bond, but Abram Brown was taken te jail in default of a 850 bead. A fire at .tbe Hentcemerj Mine; Some time before 8 o'clock Wednesday night one of the buildings at the Montgomery mine a short distance above For est Hill was found to be on fire. Work was recently begun at this mine by Col. Stith, and a num ber of improvements have been made. The building in which the engine and boiler, stamp mill, and Huntington mill stood was consumed. The engine and boiler were only slightly damaged. The stamp mill is not badly dam aged, though the copper plates were ruined which means a loss itself of over one hundred dollars. The Huntington mill was unhurt. The origin of the fire is un known. The loss is roughly esti mated at $500. No insurance was carried on the plant. Conaalara Reamiie. The Secretary of State has ordered all consular officers to resume their duties in Spain. Some of the sub ordinate officers, it seems, never left their stations all tbe while of the war, and were undisturbed. No ill-feelings seem to have been en gendered and there will be no con sular changes on account of the war. Yon'll Haye Cbnace Tble Time. Very often you hear the re mark that nothing fine in the way of a comedy ootnes to Con cord but the people can not say this about Alba Heywood, and his peerless company, which company will appear in the opera house on the night of the 21st. Music to suit the most classical ear can be heard and productions of the most humor ous nature. Every member of the company is an artist and it ia not often that the people of Concord have the advantage of such a musical and humorous treat. We Qive no rewards, an offer of this kind ia tbe meanest of decep tions. Our plan is to give every one a chance to try the merit of Ely's Cream Balm tbe original Balm for the cure of Catarrh, Hay Fever and Cold in the Head, by mailing for 10 cents a trial size to test Its curative powerB. We mail tbe 50-cent size also and the druggist keeps it. Test it and you are sure to oontinue the treatment. Reliet is immediate and a cure follows. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren Btreet, New York.

The boy was then ten years old and the heir to a fortune of $200,000 left by his mother. He was stolen one morning in J 1883, and from that time until now the father never relaxed his search, moving in the meantime from Iowa to Ohio. The boy was found a few days ago in Richmond, Ya., where he is the proprietor ot a tailor shop. The object of tho abduc tion is supposed to have been the money to which the boy was heir.
