Considerable excitement was occasioned in this city, last evening, by a free-for-all fight at a place where religious services were being held.

Wheeler, of that city, son of u promiuent ciuzeu, cnargea wua certain ; a -l . crooked financial transactions in Illinois and with conspiracy to wreck a bank in the vicinity of Chicago. Blootnington is the location in tended. In 187G or 1877 one L. L. Holmes came to Bloomington from the East and established the Bloomioston Bank, handling money for Eastern capitalists, lhe bank apparently nourished and seemed destined to a lorn; and prosperous life. On the morning of July 31, 1878, when Holmes went to the bank, he re- . ported that he found that it had been opened by thieves, the safe opened by the combination, which had been carelessly left upon a desk on a postal eard, and $12,000 in bonds and $4,000 in cash abstracted. A great outcry was made, and Pinkerton was summoned from Chicago. Pink erton stayed six hours and wenthom, saying it was evident mat the man who robbed he bank was hot wanted. At this . ' tme C. C. Wheeler waa book-keeper and Tionfldenti.i: clerk for Holmes, but when the obbry occurred was on his way home from the East.

THE AXDOVER HERETICS. Smyth's Colleagues Appear and Enter Pleas Similar to that Made by Their Leader. Boston, Jan. 3. In the Andover heresy trial. to-day, after some preliminaries, the case against Prof. J. T. Tucker was taken up. Professor Tucker read a statement, of which the following is a part: I accept for myself, as do those who will follow me, the defense made by our honored colleague, Professor Smyth, on all the points which are equally applicable to all of us. My defense ia that of old; it covers my personal and my official relations to the creed. I answer that the theology of 'progressive orthodoxy' is a nat ural and legitimate outcome of the creed of the seminary, especially on the point of greatest contention, that of probation for all men under the gospel." Professor Tucker was followed by Professor Harris, who said, in substance: "The doctrine of salvation by the light of nature, which our prosecutors insist that the creed teaches, was. when the creed was made, a unitarian argument, and every professor is pledged to oppose the Unitarian and Universalist theories. The in terpretation which our opponents insist shall be put upon the creed is that only those who in this life share in the blessings of grace are ever effectually called. According to this interpretation, by a logical result, all infants and the mass of the heathen are lost. What better meaus can be taken to build up universahsmf As tor f nture probation, I never believed that any man has a second probation under the gospel. Professor Hi neks, being the next respondent, stated that he had been intrusted with the work of expounding and interpreting the Scriptures at the seminary. He bad never reached conclusions at variance with the principles of the creed. The provision made by the founders Ehowed that they expected interpreters to be progressive and to keep abreast of contemporaneous biblical criticism. It was their purpose that the creed should be brought to the test of the word of God contained in the Old and New Testaments, and this he had honestly and con scientiously sought. Professor Churchill said: "When I took the creed I had heard it was an iron-clad thing, and so I consulted Prof. Austin Phelpa in the mat ter. He said: 'You must take it as the rest of us have taken it in its historic sense, and as containing the substance of doctrine.' If a nar row construction is to deny me the benefits of new light, lam not willing to remain and be bonnd bv it." Professor Churchill's address was rated out of order, as his exception to the jurisdiction of the visitors had not been passed upon. The hearing was then declared adjourned sine die. ASSAULTING AN EDITOR, The Vice-President of a Bur Railroad, with the Aid of His Brother, Whips an Editor. !5Prinjfield, Alo., Jan. J. A most sensa tional fight occurred in this city this morning in the office of the O'Day brothers, in the City Block, in which John O'Day, second vice-presi dent of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, and his brother, Ed O'Day, and Mr. Strothers, editor of the Evening Leader, participated. The Leader had been claiming recently that the Morning Herald was owned by John O'Day, and while pretending to support the Democratic ticket it has in reality, through the influence of the 'Frisco road, used its power to defeat that ticket. Last Friday the Leader published an editorial attacking Mr. O'Day personally. This brought Mr. O'Day to this city, and this morn ing he and Mr brother met Mr. Strothers on the street, and invited him into O'Day's office to talk over a little matter of business. John O'Day drew from beneath his pocket a paper, Mr. Strothers said, which proved to be a retraction of the Leaders former statements, and asked Mr. Strothers to sign it He refnsed, and Mr. O'Day then struck the editor on the head with a walking stick, and partly stunned him, but he closed upon his assailant, and floored him. Ed O'Day then joined in the fight and knocked Strothers down, and afterward inflicted several ugly wounds upon the latter s face and body. Strothers says that donn u uay then drew a re volver, and would have shot him but for the timely interference of Walker Crenshaw and Mr. McGregor, who separated the combatants. After the fracas the O'Day brothers drove rap idly to the 'Frisco depot, where the railroad magnate took a train for St. Louis. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the O'Dav brothers. Strothers will survive his injuries. Baby Insurance Enjoined. New York, Jan. 3. Deputy Attorney-general Post rf-ceutly moved before Justice Barrett, in Supreme Court chambers, to have the Globe Mutual Benefit Association restrained from car rying on its business, upon the ground that the company was insolvent and tbat the insurance of infants, as practiced by the association, is unauthorized by law. Judge Barrett handed down a decision to-day in the case. He says: "The business of this company is limited to that of life and casualty insurance noon the co-opera tive and assessment plan. Only members who accept the contract of obligations of such mem bership can be thus insured. Infants are not eligible, as they cannot make a contract Parents cannot insure their childrens lives as members in such co operative or assessment companies. Only members can be insured, and an infant camlet be a member of a society and vote." The company's regulations are illegal on the subject of insuring children, was the con elusion of the Judge. Judge Barrett concludes by saying that this branch of the company's business must, tnereiore, ne enjoined. Barber Atftasslnatect In His Shop. Denver, Col., Jan. 3. A. E. Nickens, one of the most prominent colored men in this city, was brutally assassinated in his barber-shop some time last night nis body, lying upon the floor of the shop, in a great pool of coagulated blood, was discovered at an early hour this morning. The assassin had struck his victim upon the back of the head with & beer-bottle, knocking him senseless, and producing fracture of the skull. He then took a razor and cut his throat from ear to ear, severing the jugular vein and windpipe. Nickens had $300 on his person late last night. and as only $6 was found on his body after the murder, it is supposed the crime was committed for robbery. Charles Green, employed at Nickens's, and who rooms at the latter's house, was arrested on snspioion, and over half the money was found bidden under his bed.

Hamilton, a resident of this place, fell on the icy pavement in front of one of the churches and broke his leg. He immediately instituted proceedings against the corporation, claiming $5,000 damages, and was awarded f70O.

The headstrone juror returned to hia home a few days ago. and. while walking along one of Salem's thoroughfares, fell and broke a leg also. He intends suing the town for damages, and the question naturally arises: will he be cqntent with $300 for his own leg? It is probable that when the case comes to trial his action in the former suit may influence the jury. Long airo, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, Baron Liebir made himself famous for discovering beef extract, and now the Liebig Company is again successful in its combination of beef, coca, rare old sherry and iron, forming Liebig Company's Coca -Beef Tonic, a valuable remedy for those debilitated or afflicted with indigestion, liver complaints, asthma, shattered constitutions, or biliousness.

OBITUARY.

Death of Bishop Horatio Potter Sketch of Ris Eventful Career. New York. Jan. 3. Horatio Potter, for thirty -two years Bishon of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of New York, died at his home, in East Twenty second street, yesterday. Althoueh the Bishop had been ill several years, and had been unable to leave his house for a fortnight, his death was somewhat unexpected even to his closest friends and relatives. Four years ago ho was attacked with pneumonia, and was so feeble that for a time his life was despaired of. He recovered, however, but his hitherto strong constitution had been so seriously affected that he wa3 unable to accomplish the work of the dio cese which he had prosecuted with such vigor, and he was relieved of the greatest share of it by the election of the Rev. Dr. Henry. C Potter to assist him. During tho last three years he has been sub ject to periodical attacks of pneumonia, but by car-ifcl nursing of his strength he recovered from each succeeding one, and in the last few months appeared to be in better health and spirits than usual. On Friday nieht, however, the malady which had been gradually sapping his system reappeared, and the great cbsnge in the weather on the following day seemed to aggravate it. Late on Saturday night he became un conscious, and remained so until b:M oclock. when his heart beat for the last time. He was faithfully attended throughout his illness by his daughter Anna, who lived with her father and ministered to him in his declining years, and Dr. Polk, his physician, and thev were at his bedside when he died. Bishop Potter was born atBeekman, Dutchess county, New York, on Feb. 9, 1802. In hi3 early years his education was obtained at an academy in Poughkeepsie. He was graduated from Union College in 1826, and in July, 1S27, he was or dained a deacon by Bishop Hobart In the following year he was ordained as priest. About the same time he was appointed professor of mathematics and natural philosophy in Wash ington (now Trinity) College. Hartford. Here he remained for five years. In December, 1833, he accepted the rectorship of St. Peter s Church, Albany. Four years later, in 1837, ho was elected to the presidency of Trinity College, but declined the honor. From his earliest youth his thoughts had been fixed upon the church. His five years of professional duty at Trinity were found in some respects beneficial, but after having en tered upon his pastorate he was unwilling to be turned aside by any other calL In this long rectorship he was distinguished for his great ability, and as a preacher, though not usually regarded as an eloquent man, credited with a remarkable purity of style. On the death of Bam Wright, in ltk4, he was elected provisional Bishop of the Diocese of New York, and was consecrated Nov. 22, 1834. Bishop Onderdonk, the diocesan, had been canonically suspended, and while he lived his coadjutor could not tase the full title of bishop of the dio cese. On April 30, 1801. Bishop Onderdonk died, and Dr. Potter succeeded to the full jurisdiction. By a curious coincidence his brother, the Rev. Dr. Alonzo Potter, Bishop of Pennsylvania, also succeeded Bishop Onderdonk, a brother of the Bishop of New York. The most marked characteristic of Bishop rotter s eniscopate, one that made itself strongly felt with his accession to the office, was the attention and strong encouragement given to charitable and benevolent organizations. The large sisterhood of St Marv was founded under Bishop Potter, and in connection with it the House of iVlercy, the Children s Hospital and at Mary's school, in this city, and St Gabriel's school, in Poughkeepsie. There was founded during his episcopate. and more or less directly through his inflaence. the Trinity Infirmary, Old Mens and Old Couples' Home, and St. Luke's Home for In digent. The well-known sisterhoods which have been organized are the Sisterhood of St, John the Baptist, under whose control are many successful missions and training schools, and the Sisterhood of the Good Shepherd. Aside from the charitable work, to the furtherance of which he was especially devoted, Dr. Potter s episcopate was characterized by the pacific pol icy which he uniformly exercised. He sedulous ly avoided any committal of the church or him self to any political cause. Even in the stormy days previous to and during the war Bishop Pot ter, although at heart opposed to slaverv, de voted himself solely to the duties of his episco pate and refrained from any act that could appear a3 though he were publicly taking sides. At the close of the war he was desirous that every toKen of strife should be swept away, and he was largely instrumental in promoting the return of the'Southern bishops to the House of Bishops without questioning or opposition. Preserved Smith. O., Jan. 3. Preserved Smith Dayton, died yesterday. He was descended in a direct line from the Rev. Henry Smith, who, in 1641, came from England to Connecticut On the passage and in a terrific storm, a son was born to him, which he named Preserved Smith, and for two centuries tne name has been in the family. The de ceased came to Cincinnati with $125 in his pocket. He went to Troy, Miami county, Ohio, where he became a clerk, and later a proprietor of a store. He came to Dayton in 1856, invested in D. & M. stock, and was in turn secretarv. treasurer and general manager of the road. In 1864 he became a member of the firm of Barney & Smith, incorporated in 1868 as the Barney & Smith Manufacturing Company. He was vice-presi dent, treasurer and general manager. The company owns the car-shops here, and employs 1.200 men. He was a director of the Third National Bank, Firemen's Insurance Company, Cooper Hydraulic Company, and Home avenue railroad and Dayton screw works, of this city; also, of the Northern National Bank, of Toledo, and of the Dayton & Union, the Dayton & Michigan, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, the Cincinnati, Richmond & Chicago, the Cincin nati, Hamilton & Indianapolis, and tho Cincin nati Southern railroads. He was a stockholder in the Wisconsin Central and Kansas Pacific. The cause of his death was a disease of the kidneys, from which he sank slowly. He leaves a widow, three sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Rev. Henry Preserved Smith, professor of Hebrew at the Lane Theological Seminary, of which institution the deceased was a trustee. The Children Study the Choir. Tid-BitB.

Removed a Corpse Wrong End Foremost. Atlanta Constitution. There is a superstition among railroad men that if a cornse be removed from a train head foremost, bad luck to the train will surely re sult Christmas day the afternoon southbound passenger on the Central railroad met with an

accident between Hampton and Griffin. The ac

cident was caused by a broken axle on the baggage-car. When the train was about leaving Atlanta, a corpse was placed on the baggage-car, to be taken to Forest At that station the corpse was removed from the car headforemost, notwithstanding the porter, J act LJurgess, vigorously protested. He told Baggagemaster John Env that an accident would surely occur before the train reached Ma con, bure enough, one did occur. As the bag gage-car bounced ud and down on the track when the axle brokei Jack shouted out: "What I tell yer, Mr. Eny; didn't I done tole ver puttin dat dead man offen de cyar head fo'most' was gwineter cause trouble." Reckon yer'll put de nex one off wid his feet fu'at!" A PRIZED COMMUNION SERVICE. One Once Used by the Pone Fresented to Bishop Becker. Atiffiista fGa.) Chronicle. 1 he rector of the American College in Rome. Italy, recently obtained for the Right Rev. Dr. Becker. Bishop of Savannah, a magnificent com munion service, consisting of chalice, cruets and the usual accompaniment, formerlv belonging to his Eminence, Carmine Cardinal Merosi-Gori. The set was presented to him by the Empress of Austria upon his promotion to the cardinalate, after- being embassador from the Pontifical court, where his abilities were fully known and acknowledged. The pieces are. therefore, worthy of further description. I he chalice is solid silver, with gold cup and paten or golden plate used as a covering and to contain the host Both are elaborately carved. the former about fourteen inches high, Ro man in Its style, and having elegantly designed figures of the crucifixion, the scourging at the pillar, the nativity of our Lord, as well as emblems belonging to or representing the last supper. The paten, or gold plate, has a beautiful medallion picture of the washing of the disciples' feet by their Master. On the cruets, or small pitchers for wine and water, there are, on the hrst, a carved picture of the messengers sent to report coneernine the fertility of the land of Canaan, and their return with a huge cluster of grapes upon a lever. (Numbers, xiii, 24 ) On the second there is a very appropriate figure of Moses striking the rock, whence the waters gush forth. (Exodus, xvii, 6.) On the basin and bell equally beautiful and emblematic drawings are found. The whole work is quite in keeping with that 6een on medals in Rome, where it certainly is brought to artistic perfection. As it was never contemplated that the chapelle, or set, would change hands, but rather be kept in the family as an heirloom in the strictest sense of the word, there is nothing commou or made to 6ell about it The Holy Father, Leo XIII, used it, and while it now belongs to the Bishop, the Cathedral of Savannah has the honor of possessing this treasure for the altar on festival occasions. It will not be kept there, however, but will be safely secured elsewhere. Under the general laws of the United States and custom-house rules, as a work of art the set came naturally enough, not being for sale, Tree of duty, though the box must have been opened roughly, when in bond in Savannah. The inspectors are required to open all packages, boxes, etc. , but the lock was needlessly broken (for the key had been forwarded from Italy, and could easily have been obtained), and otherwise the case was uselessly injured an act of thoughtlessness or vandalism for which there is no pal liation. A Couple of New Tear's Anecdotes. Bofton Record. One day in the year at least is a happy thing to have for gentlemen to make a round of calls, and if in many cases they think it pays their social obligations for the year, yet it is far better to do that than to leave them wholly unpaid. But the Historian did not start in on this subject to preach a sermon, but rather to tell a little story at the expense of a gentleman who is counted one of the most courtly men in society. When a younger man than he is now, and not so accustomed as at present to weigh very carefully the full meaning of everything tbat be says, he started out one New Year's day to make a series of calls, and during the afternoon happened in at a very delightful house. When he was sipping his champagne, the hostess playfully asked: "Mr. J , do you not find this making so many calls rather tiresome?" Yes. madam," he answered, "it would get a little so if I did not manage so well; but, you see, I take the precaution to save the best places until evening." It does not take any more than the mention of that reply even in these days to cause J 's face to redden with a very perceptible flush. That reminds the Historian of what Senator Don Cameron -dine New Year's day in Wash ington when his wife was receiving in great style, and the champagne was flowing very freely, and Don himself was somewhat exhilarated at the outlook for the year. A party of newspaper correspondents, three in number, who knew Mrs. Cameron very well socially, and were all of thsm, in every respect, the equal of her liege lord, bad called to pay their respects to Mrs. Cameron. Under her pleasant guidance they found their way to the lunch-room, where they spoke to the noble Senator, and were received in return with the pleasant greeting: 'Hello. I am glad to see you. I suppose you are round picking up items, ain't you?" The spirit of which this is a sample may indi cate why it is that the honorable Don is not more popular in Washington than he is. L,abonchere's Glass of Champagne. London Truth. When at I rankfort I had the honor of serving under the late Sir Alexander Malet, and certainly a more kindly chief was not to be found in the service. His legation was accredited to several of the minor courts, and at one of them I was even more appreciated than my chief. This was why. Occasionally there was a ball at the court, which we were expected to attend. At my first ball supper I found my self at a table next to a grandee, georgous in stars and ribbons. The f6ervant came to pour out champagne. Now, I detest this wine, so I shook my head. The grandee nudged me and said "Let him pour it out" This I did, and he explained to me that the potentate whose hos pitality we were enjoying never gave his guests more than one glass, "so you see, if I drink yours I shall have two," and he suited the action to the word. After this there used to be quite a struggle to sit near me at court suppers. A Slow Coach. Philadelphia Record, It took Rev.
