'THE WORLD" BALLA.DS.

A SYMPOSIUM.

Krom the New York World.

On tbequpsticn: ''Were the eleven clergymen of Bridgeport, Conn., Justifiable In protesting agairst the Introduction of gambling at a fair receotly held to raise money to improvo the cemetery?"

Now gentles all. Both great and small, Oh, listen and be dumb, And I will tell All that befell

In our Symposium.

I.—AFFIRMATIVE.

Mr. Polycarp P. Plllycamp spoke first and did insist: "I speak upon this question, sirs, a* a learned Atheist. I think tho clergymen were right, and I will tell you why. For like the hatchet famed In song, I cannot tell a lie. I went unto a church fair once, I bought of ticketj six. They represented property, to me they netted nix There was a coat—the parson drew, a cane— the deacon got, A watch fell ti the parson's wife, a hat—I won it not. Tho parson's son now wears that hat, the sl.ver butter-knife Doth ornament tho tabie of the deacon's lucky wife. On the pair of slippers I slipped up-the sexton eurhered me, It struck me that those prizis ran all In the family And this is why I say It now, and say It with delight, Church-gambling Is a wicked thing—the cle'gemen are right."

I.—NEUATIVX.

Then Whiskey Bill, of Slaughter Gulch, arose with polished grace, A twelve inch bowie in hishaad, a smile up on his face— "I reckon, gents," he suayely said, "thet I'll chlo In jest yere— Kf any rooster crows too loud I'll masticate liU e*r. Now what I wautnr say is this: Ef any

Or even bcttin' on the turn—which Is a foolish thingWhy let Mm went, an' bust my crust, ef thero is any law, To pervent hi* playtn'faro, vant on, old sledge or draw."

II.—NEGATIVE.

Then thiltev. T. DeUs arose and waved his arm* on high, Then tlod Ills ega behind his neck, by which be did imply His disapproval then ho stood upon his massive head And held his pap'r in hU toes, and thu reversed he read. But wken he saw his influence upon thepdo pie Ml, He got him up and brilliantly slid down tho pulpit r*il. Now, what remark* he there di I tnako 'tis easy iju'.ta to say, For UiuOshkosh Slosh had printed thom up on tin previous day.

III.-AFFIRMATIVE.

Whereon an Edit»r got] up and, having cleared his throat, Took out a lot of papers, far he always spoke by note: "We wish to say a final word to settle this dispute— The fools thfct hate preceded ut would better have been mute,* When we ourselves were here to speak, from knowledge an 1 belief, That every church-fair advocate is a liar and a thief Don't tell us of the benefits accruing to a fair, For wo know better, gentlemen, because we have been there. About tho moral evil there's not the slightest doubt, For it cost us nothing to get In, ten dollars to get cut. Therefore, and whereas, and hence we say and elose the question quite, Church-fairs should be abolished and the clergymen are right." ir* 'k

III.—K1GATIVE.

Then Charley, who's a dealer, all in the str.et called Ann— A laro-dealer, by the way. and a very jolly man— Arose and said "I can't approve of what the«e preacher's say,

For It seems to me that men were made on purpose for to play And It strikes me as lunytlok and showln' lack of sense For clergymen to go an' klA straight ag

Providence.

And soon be bettln* stacks of chips, all In the street called Vnn. So I don't think these clergymen ara doing what they should, For it's a very ugly wind that blows nobody good."

II.—AFFIRMATIVE.

When WMitXeyTiri rjsurred his seatthere ro- a dreadful groan, And 011 stepped the eleven thousand virgins of Cologne. "Wo don't approve, sirs," shouted they •Mown with this greol for pelf.

III.—XEGATIVK.

Now Whiskey Bill had been annoyed at the editor's rernaikt, And his gleaming eyes beneath his brows shown bright as fi^ry sparks. When "Charley" ceased he slowly rose, and balancing his knife In playful dalliance on his nose, yet still prepared for strife, He calmly said, "Now, parls, I hold that we hev won the pot.

LENT.

MISS ARMSTRONG'S HOMICIDE.

On the 14th of July. I852, a Professor Croft ly was found dead in the bath-room I have just mentioned. Croftiy was well known among scientific men as a professor of chemistry, and, besides, had a large circle of acquaintance in this city. He was supposed at the time to have committed suicide, and his death furnished a three days' sensation for the press. The accounts in four leajin* newspapers materially conflicted, which made the matter all the more interesting to the public. All agreed, however, with a singular unanimity of opinion, that he was dead. Even the Call, while not positive ly admitting his demise in the article, virtually conceded it in the head lines.

From the St. Louis Times.

If any coarso. unfeeling feller Asks the loan of your ambreller,. Tell him it's Lent.

If any tramp presumes to foller And begs the loan of half a dollar, .. Tell him it's Lest. ,tf, And so tell all who come to borrow Some treasured article to-morrow-

Tell 'em it's Lent.

Corporal punishment is still permitted in the public school of Boston, subject to the rule that it shall always consist of blows on the hand with a rattan. Superintendent Eliot advocates further restrictlion so that whippings shall never be inflicted while the teacher is in a passion. "There should be." he says, "an interval between the offence and the chastisement at least as long as that between two suasions.

But imagine the torturing sus

pense in which the puj^l would be placed. V.

Croftiy, when found was lying in the bath, covered with wounds of so curious a nature that no one could explain how they came to be inflicted. They were dep, ragged, and gaping, and there was no instrument found in the room with which they might have been made. Evert the detectives who visited the scene of Croftlv'sde8th shook their heads and were at sea, Those who discovered the body found the door securely fastened from the outside, and were obliged to burst it «pen. The room had no other means of egress or ingress"Suicide," remarked one of the reportjers. I "Howcane those wonnds an the back?', asked a detective. "Who else was here?" responded the journalist. And neither man had anything to say.

A post mortem revealed nothing new except that the physicians found a state of the blood which they could not satisfactorily account for.

One evening a hack drove up to the door, and a woman, clad in wraps bounded up the 6teps with astonishing vigor and agility, like most Western girls who are blessed with good health and animal spirit. She dashed into the hall in a style that 6ent a preceptible tremor throughout the house, and fell into old Armstrong's arms. A fusillade of kisses followed.

It was his daughter, Alice. Next morning the usal formalities of introduction were gone through, and Miss Armstrong became onebf the fixtures of the place. A few days before her arrival Professor Coftly had suggest ed the idea of living somewhere nearer the centre of the city. After Miss. Armstrong entered the house, however no further alliitsion was made to thepro-, posed removal. The Professor began to pay Miss Armstrong the most devout attentions, and, as a matter of course, hse fell madly in love with young Dean who paid her none. It is generally conceded that one of the most effective ways of wooing a woman is to let some other man do it. The woman tires of the iodefatigahle lover, and the man who treats her with indifference is soon preferred. Some men learn this by expeirence Dean ciscovered it by accident.

He presently began to turn his knowl edge to excellent account, and a bitter rivalry sprang up betwee Croftiy soon realized that he was not the fovorite, and never for the life of him could ascertain how a woman could form an attachment for a man who hadn't the remotest idea of chemistry. He forgot that he was somewhat old, and that some dislike to cast their bridal wreath upon the snow. He finally determined to put his rival^out of the way, and set about lay ing his plans.

After a couple of weeks' delibet ation he concluded to murder Dean, and to do it 60 neatly and scientifically that discovery would be next to impossible.

One day I was in his room—being an occasional visitor—and observed him busilv engaged in chemistry experiments. Said he: "Did you ever realiz edthat the conditions which result in congelation might be produced chemicallv?"

I confessed that I have never giving the subject much thought. "Of course, you understand that sudden evaporation causes cold."

I knew nothing of the kind at the time, but nodded assent rather than acknowl-

A few weeks ago some workmen engaged in removing an old mansion on the coner of California and Misti Street never considerably puzzled at finding a number cf copper wire? connectiog the bath room with a room above. The ownersof the property were eq lalljr puzzled, having never bjfore krvjvvn of their existence. The wires were|removed, and nothing more thought of the muter. This recalls to my mind an incident which many will now remember:

is July," remarked an elderly gentleman connected with a University. The newspapers vied with each other building up ingenious theories accounting for the affAr, the Cornor's jury found a verdict of suicide for want ot' anything better, and the remains were buried.

The reader who desires to get more a detailed account for the affair—as related at the time—car do 60 referring to the files of any of the city papers of that date. In fact", I would produce them here did space permit. The main thing, however, is to clear up the mystery an Croftlj's remarkable death.

He came to the coast in i860, and was reputed to be a man of sufficient means to live handsomely on the interest of hi* money. He stopped a while at the Oriental Hotel, and there met Edward Dean, a young man, who, like himself, was a gentlemen of leisure. The two became intimates, and finally, tired of hotel life, they determined to 6eek quarters which would be more congenial and home-like. They found- these quarers at the residence of Richard Armstrong, a mutual acquantance, who lived in very desirable quarters on the conor of Mason and California Streets. Before the costly habitations of Stanford, Crocker, and other millionaires sprang into existance, Armstrong 's house came very near being called a mansion. Armstrong rented Croftiy and Dean three elegant rooms, partly because he was running on a pretty close margin financially. The two found their new quarters as attractive as men of tast could wish. Armstrong was a widower, and the three men had some rare old times together evenings. His cellar was stocked with excellent wines, and his library with books of the very rarest vintage of literature.

xinstantaneously,"

he continuted. "This is tny assistant," pointing to an electric battery. "With a current of say one hundred omes of electricity, I can accelerate enough evaporation to freeze instantly one hundred gallons of water."

Here the Professor took a basin of water and poured in a small quantity of colorless liquid. "This is ammonia," said he. "But this"—here he added about as much of some other liquid—4'is something else" -Wht is it?" "No one knows but myself."

I deemed it impertient to question him futher. He then attached the wires of his battery to the water.

When I make the connecting current the water will become ice." I watched, much interested, and he laid his hand on a piece of metal wi.ich was part of the apparatus, and the turning of which caused the current to connect. He turned the brass piece, and instantly a cloud of vapor rose from the surfaco of the water, expanding in its causes ajstrain upon the basin, which pressed out the tides.

With five hundred omes," continued the Professor, "I can freeze five hundied cubic feet of water.' the discovery made by the Professor, and a few days aflerward "learned ot his death The public considered it a ca«e of siucide. I madn a careful exa.nination of the premises, and came to a different conclusion. It was the hand of Alice Armstrong that killed Professor Coftlv.

Let us go back a little At'ter the Professor realized what could be done with his new appliance of elect ricy, he determined to utilize it in the murder of Dean. He hit upon the grand idea of freezing him in the bath. '•She will not love him cold," he said, and began to arrange his plans. Dean was fond of the bath. He retired at midnight, and always took a bath jast before. The bath-room cf Armstrong's house was an exceptionally good one. It was situated but a short distance from the suit occupied by the Professc and Dean. The tank was of marble, eight feet wide, ten feet long, and six feet deep, capable of holding four hundred and eighty cubic feet of water. Croftiy connected the bath with hi» own room by means of wires. One entered the bath by the waste-pipe. He reached this by

the side of the house and into the ground. It was concealed from observation by lilac bush. The other was connected with the pipe which furnished the water. He bored a hole in the wall and fo^nd the pipe, as he expected, running in the rear of the room close to the floor. He then increased the jars of of his batttry, and raised its strength to five hundred omes.

No suspicion was excited by this, as he had been for months before making electrical experiments. His apparatus was fitted on a stand near the wall, and wires from it connected with those leading to the bath- When the apparatus was removed its wires would be pulled away from the others, and no trace would be left of previous connection.

On the night of the 3d ofjuly all was in readiness. Croftiy laid his plans with nicety and deliberation. Dean always took a batn before retiring, which was about midnight. In the morning Crtftly had purchased two seats at the Metropolitan Theatre and given them to Armstrong, who took his daughter to the play. By eight o'clock everything was quiet in the house. Croftiy knew that he was safe from interruption until eleven o'clock, aftd perhaps later.

He now began to work in earnest. He filled the tank with water, ana then tested his wires over and over again. Evervthing was in splendid working order. He calculated that he could embed his rival in ice about midnight, and then turn on hot water. In the morning there would be no trace left of the freezing. He rubbed his hands with delight, and then poured in the chemical proportions, wherein lay the secret ot" his discovery. Having done this, he went back to his room and laid the two connecting wires of his apparatus side by 6ide upon the instrument. It was now nine o'clock. He turned the gas up to a full blaze to disperse the shadows, took an easy chair, and determined to read until Dean's return The silence of the house became unbearable, and the sultriness of the apartment more and more oppressive. His excitement began to tell upon him, and he was no longer cool. The man who is about to kill suffers more pangs than he who knows he is about to die. Croftiy paced up and down the apartment, and then a 6trange fascination drew him toward the bath. He entered the rdom again and stood gazing into the motionless water in the tank, and murmured to himself: "Four hundred and eighty cubic feet, five hundred omes.

There was a gas jet above the tank, and its faint glow was reflected in the water. To Croftiy the atmosphere seemed to have been generated in a blastfurnace. The water looked cool and refreshing. There was yet more than an hour. Croftiy turned the catch of the door from force of habit, and, throwing off hi6 clothes, plunged in. He could discover no disagreeable trace of the chemicals, and once more he felt the delightful sensation of being cool. It was so agreeable that he begun to reflect in his mind whether he would not continue to enjoy the bath and postpone the murder.

Suddenly the hall door was slammed, and he heard the voice of Miss Armstrong talking with her father. The pair had indeed returned, having left the theatre because they did not care to be bored with Mrs. Cower's hackneyed ren dering of "Queen Elizabeth." Passing along the hall, they saw the Professor's door open, and the gas in full blast. Armstrong hated to see anything go to waste, and told his daughter to go in and lower the gas, as the room was unoccu pied. Miss Armstrong went in, as directed, and her f&rher passed up stairs. While alone the girl could not resist the temptation to pull a little note from hep bosom and read it again. She had received it that morning, and had already perused it about twenty times* It read: "Dear Alice:—Will you be my wife? Yours, "Edwabd Dean."

Dean was a young man who, when he had anything to say, said it at once, and stopped on reaching the point.

She pored over the letter about five minutes, and then returning it to its place, looked about her. Her eye presently fell on the instrument connected with Croftly's battery. She took up one ®f

Absolutely Pure.

At the instant the wires were connected, Croftiy was in the centre of the bath. A shock and terrible chill passed through his frame, and he felt a cloud of vapor rising from the surface of the water and sweeping into his face. Myriads of spear-like crystals shot out from the edge of the tank and converged toward him like so many shafts of death. He realized his situation, and dashed to reach the steps as he did so, he threw himself against the jagged edges of a sheet of ice half an inch thick. There was a frightful gash in his side, from which blood was streaming. He struggled madly amid the ice, and every throe brought fresh wounds. His limbs moved no longer in water they were enveloped in slush. The ice closed about him like a vice. He was dead.

After the evaporation of the chemicals the electricity no longer had any effect, and the heat of the room began to tell upon the ice. The mass melted, and by four o'clock in the morning the corpse of Croftiy was floating upon the surface of the bath. He was not missed until nine o'clock next morning, when Dean burst open the door and found him„as jd^scrj'o-

ed*

The rest is known. The jury gave a verdict of suicide, and Miss Armstrong and Edward Dean were married on the 22d of the same month.
