this city on Monday evening of each week until completed was delivered in the lecture room of the ort Street Congrega tional Church last evening by Rev Dr Hogarth of the efferson Avenue Presbyterian church The subject embraced why God located the Israelites in and was explained by the use of maps in connection with the lec ture which presented much 1 food for thought and suggested new ideas in regard to the people of men scattered here and there over the entire territory of the habit able world In the course of his remarks upon the central situation of the Holy Land its oc cupation of the principal lines of travel to and from the east and the west Greece and Rome to the north and west Alexandria the fertile valley of the Nile and the spice lands to the south and west the wealth of Ormus and the Ind on the east the lecturer drew a pleasant parallel of the great Valley of the Mississippi of the West whither the of takes her way The land of Canaan lay on the direct road traveled by all the nations and peo ple who individually or otherwise sought out great centers of learning and progress and it lay directly in the path the bright orbit of that star in its westward course

shall overcome whosoever thinks to turn the tide in another direction for its force is irre sistible and advancement is only to be found in its course In conclusion he threw out the suggestion that

Hunter where he found him in bed with his beloved Leach confessed to the debt and proposed to give good security next day but at the time nominated failed to on ac count of the unwillingness of the person named to endorse While apparently on the best of terms the warrant for arrest was taken out by ellows ami held by a United States Marshal who attended upon them with a faith fulness not often observable in officials Through certain manipulations a most valuable set of fnrs the property of Eliza Cook 'was mentioned as a good security for the amount named and Leach then being in a tight it was proposed that she should place them up the spout for the purpose of relieving him The parties went to Mrs and here an arrangement was effected to relieve her ot the furs in consideration of her acquaintance ship with Leach She gave them up because he said he would redeem them in thirty days and partly perhaps because she loved him so The officer gave her a receipt for them as follows and received a corresponding paper of the contents of which she denies any knowledge: from Miss Eliza Cook one set of mink furs consisting of one cape and one muff in security ot dho note held by Mr Geo ellows amounting to $33654 and ono debt of Tnituao Phelps of $12 and the obligation is this that if Westly II Leach shall pay to George ellows and Truman Phelps their ivtspeeuvc ciaims wunm thirty days Irom the date of this writing the said Miss Eliza Cook Is to receive her furs and this writing tuid agreement shall be null and void If not paid in thirty days then I Eliza Cook agree that the said furs shaM be sold to pay the respective claims of Geo ellows and Truman These furs are described as being very valua ble much more so than the worthless note which caused their extortion even if that were valid The Phelps claim appears to be an in terpolation to cover a real or assumed amount of which little is known In this casejthe circumstances can be regard ed in different lights os judgment on the facts may be taken It is certainly singular that a business man should accept a note with an incomaetent stamp If he did so then the tip per Is worthless and not negotiable The maker might plead ignorance of what was fe quired to make it legal at the time it was af fixed and it would be dangerous for a United States officer to arrest him for a criminal of fense against the national law If the paper is worth nothing then he could not be held on it It was not a forgery Quits face it was given and accepted in good faith a nd the honor of the indebtedness could not perhaps alone but portly justify its redemp tion Its antiquity was not shown neither was any attempt to prove that means had been taken to collect it brought forward But the maker a few days ago comes from Washing ton with a female having valuables in her pos session irst a 8200 gold chain goes by the board then a $400 or $450 set of furs falls be neath a suppliant hammer and these being her all she is abandoned as a bauble from which the sweets have been extracted and left naked so to speak to her fate Whether there was any collusion between the parties named toperform these offices for her tho relation of the circum stances must determine The officer performed his duty possibly according to the dic tates of his judgment but whether he had any right to accept civil damages or collaterals for a prison offense is not on record The respond ents during the examination were on familiar terms and assisted their counsel by mutually considered advice Evidence bickerings of counsel etc occupied the attention of tho court until a late hour The arguments commence this morning and will probably continue during the forenoon Skating Miss Nellie Dean champion skater of Chicago made her first ap

Thereupon Mr' Ro meyn solicitor for complainant comes into court and suggests that this suit has been discontinued by consent of all the parties thereto aud claims that such discontinuance puts an end

tent for all the parties to the suit to discontinue the same by consent without paying these com fees and that the said commission ers must rely upon their action at law against the complainant to collect the value of their services in the cause The solicitors for the conunissioners Riopelle and Holbrook contend that the parties to the suit cannot by consent discon tinue tlie case without the consent of the court until these costs are paid and that it is the duty of the court to retain the cause in court? until these commissioners who are officers of the court have received their compensation for services rendered by the order of the court They also contend that the order of reference of November 17 was an opening and setting aside to that extent of the order theretofore

that has been accomplished by these mission schools that gather children from all classes of society many of them entering the Sunday school for the first time in their lives The building which has been fitted up is a commodious wooden structure which was formerly one of tnc barrack buildings near Elmwood avenue It was purchased at the Government sale last summer and moved to its present site nearly opposite the Tenth Ward Union School where it has been fitted up in a very convenient and comfortable manner at an expense of nearly 81200 It is about 80 feet in length by 20 iii width nnd is divided by a partition in two apartments one for the infant department and the other for the infant school The latter is 53 feet long by 20 wide and is capable of ac commodating between 200 and 300 children There were 74 children enrolled in the classes formed on Sunday and ot this number only a few had ever attended any Sunday school A statement of the history of ihe school from its organization to the 'present time was read by Mr Summer The school was organized eb ruary 1 1858 with 34 scholars aud four teachers in the German Reformed Church on Riopelle street in which location it remained for a little over four years The necessity to repair that church required new quarters to be provided for the school and accordingly it was removed to a hall on Clinton avenue between Russel1 and Riopelle streets on the 20th of July 1862 and on October 19th of the same year they went to the Tenth 5 ard School on Lamed street where they did not prosper and it was discontinued for two years when it was again held in the Primary school building on Clinton avenue near St Aubin street In July 1866 the school was again discontinued on account of the want of a building the Board of Edu cation having established a rule not to allow the use of the school house for Sabbath school purposes The friends of Jefferson Avcpue Presbyterian Church having been applied to for aid they purchased the present building and moved it to the lot where it now stands which years the chapel had been the work the Presbyterians yet it was to a union school in the strictest sense and free from

been stated and while here he was arrested through the instrumentality of Capt ellows for money borrowed from him as alleged and goods furnished The arrest was made by a Deputy United States Marshal who is also held until the Court makes its de cision In plain terms the story of the affair is this The female Eliza Cook is from the circum stances adduced a jjerson of loose character She fell in with Capt Leach in Washington and was by him brought here on her way to Chicago They lived in concubinage here for a short time at a hotel and she was then taken to a house of questionable repute by her para mour One night a week or so ago she with Leach was about to leave for her destination Capt ellows procures a warrant for his ar rest for the amount due him although he held a note for it but
