He was thoroughly cool at his work and betrayed no nervousness in any direction. Charles Wookford, who summoned Wyckoff, said he rang the door-bell four or five times before it was answered. There was a decided commotion when Mrs. Wyckofl was called to the stand. Strangely enough, the little woman was gay an a girl, in marked contrast with her former demeanor, and laughed frequently during the examination.

She testified to nothing but her marriage to Wyckoff in Meadville nine years ago, and a few subsequent details down to the night of the murder, telling that her husband did not leave home until 7 o'clock. A number of men were there before that, Murphy (meaning Khine), among them. At the close of her testimony the defense rested. The commonwealth offered no rebuttal. Kielunoud said he had some points to present for the defense, but told court he wished to add soino more, and the court adjourned until 8:45 to-morrow morning.

TWO MEN SENTENCED. As soon as the proceedings in Wyckoff's case were disposed of for tho day, to the general surprise, Khine and Spaythe were in for sentence. Spaythe, for second decree murder, was given seven years and Khine, for burglary, three years in the penitentiary. McCain addressed the court in behalf of Spaythe, and Clark did tho same for Khine, requesting a light sentence because of this being their first cliense and because of the good work he had done by them for the commonwealth in testifying 'against Wyckutf. Clark moved lor an arrest of judgment because Khine was brought here only to testify, and because his case was triable only in Many People Tie re lillled In linnaa nd Missouri.

June 20. At 8.13 tbis evening MissKugcnia I'. Meneely, daughter of Clinton 11. JVleneely, let loov a Hood of metal at her father's foundry which when cool will be the Liberty bell of this country. And the molten mass that flowed at her command was composed of patriotic material, implements of warfare, material of the most historic interest, swords that have been used in battle, metal identified with every progress of invention andscitnc remembrances and love gifts too p-eious to be trusted in any other place except the Columbian Liberty bell.

The time lo the casting was set at 4 o'clock iu tho afternoon, but owing to the damp atmosphere the furnace did not draw well, and it was 8.L'5 when the boiling metal bubbled over tho fop of tho mold. It was originallv intended tiat Mrs.lCleveland would touch a bution at liable whereby electrical apparatus at the foundry would be nut in motion releasing the metal from tho furnace, but Mrs. Cleveland was in jkiot health and could not 1 liture out in the stormy north and cast gale which prevailed at Buzzard's y. The- mold of the bell was not visible prior to the casting, but was imbedded in 1 be earth just in Iront of the furnace. Tho core was pi.

teed in liisi, the outer aso containing th inscription and dates being pi. tied in after, and all the joints hermetically se.iled. When the committees arrived at he foundry ail they mild nee was the great lilled with pounds of molten tiiital melted by the use coal furnished 1 by the of Pennsylvania. Then there was a Kiuali hole in he earth just ia trout of ti furnace, ami into this the moileu meial, sptrkhtig and looking like a snake oi lire, found entrance, until, hen the iu full, the fiery mass i cgau to t.pre.td out over the ground. Then tho Jl nv in storpcil, ani Mr.

Meneely announced that the bell cast. J'or 10 hours it, will have 10 ntnr in tlio cart so as to allow it to cool oil to ind. e. When uncjvered it will found to contain these word about the mouth: "Proclaim liberty throughout th land unto all the inhabitants thereof." A round he row 11 of he lu ll ill the inscription: llory to liod in the highest, and on earth peace, good wili toward men." on tlio lace of the bell wi4l be the words: new command I give unto you, that ye loe one anoth-r."

Faeti About a Queer Church eloiM By tntns Itul leliu. The Post has received from Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the census.bulle-tin No. 375. It is the fourteenth devoted to church statistics and gives the figures for several bodies of Fuptisfs, including the regular, North and South, tho primitive and the old-two-seed-in-tbe-spirit-prcdestiuarian.

It is a mistake to suppose that all census bulletins aro dry. This one devoted to the liaptists lias nothing dry about it. The regular ISaptist church, we are told, has 2,000.000 members, of whom three-fifths belong to tho Southern church. This church tip-peils' especially to tho colored brother, and 13 the reason the membership is so strong south of Mason and Dixon's line. The main interest of the, bulletin is in the statistics concerning that peculiar branch of the Raptist faith indicated by the long and odd name given above.

Most people in this section, liaptists of course excepted, never heard of that denomination among the many that trouble or console the world. Dr. Henry D. Carroll is responsible for the remarks in the bulletin, and ho tells us that "the primitive and predastinaiian branches are very conservative in doctrine and practice, opposing generally all missionary, Hiblo and temperance societies, Sunday schools and theological seminaries. The O.

T. S. I. T. S.

P. Laptisis nre strongly Calvinistic, holding firmly to the doctrine of predestination. Of course-, they believe that a complete ducking under water materially assists tho predestination to accomplish its purpose on tho victim. The phraso "Two-seed" indicates their belief that tht ri are two eeeds, one of death and one of life. Tho former became implanted in man when ho fell out of the apple tree; it causes eternal death if not counteracted in time.

'J ho seed of life is planted in those who are "called," and springs into eternal lite. They believe that every man was marked out, either for bad or good, not only before he was born, but Irf fore tho world was created, so that bis case is definitely settled and there is no use for him to rise to state an objection. This peculiar chinch is said to have l.ad just l.t'-2 members in which was sometime ago. There may be a diiiereucn of two or three by this time. Wo are told that they Lave 333 5-0 church edifices.

This fraction is raturaily puzzling. A reference to the detailed figures shows that there is half a church at 0ag. Ma, and 1 1 I ot a church in I'utnjtn, W. Va. This makes the five-sixths.

The denomination exists in "3 States, but is most numerous in Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Arkansas, nj that it appears to be not incompatible with democracy. There are none of them in Pennsylvania, where the tariff is too high and v. ags too low to support a man with such a long church came. Ohio has just one church with members, located in Cincinnati. I West Virginia there are organizations, church edifices and 041 members, owning property to the value of A I.I 4 ItT RU1.

I'llll Alr.i.l-HIA, No boy in Philadelphia it just now prouder or happier than is Arthur, the Id-year old son of I nsiirance A ijent K. A. His happiness is because of a letter received bv his father from the captain of the Jt.mitri Donskoi iavittcg the lad to make the trsp from New York to Hostoti and back on tho Ionskoi.

While the Kussiau rbet was anchored in the h-Invari young Corbin was taken on board ihe essel by his father. He made lricuds with Captain Zelonoy on bis first visit and soon became a general favorite with all the otli-cers, including (irar.u Alexander He became almost a dady visitor, and was finally made a sub-lieutenant by Lo admiral, who gave him the proper aud ordered his men to respect him as they would any other fiieer. On invitation of the grand duke Arthur went to New York ou the Iroin this port, and unless Ins father should change Lis mind will to-morrow go New York and make the trip to Lostoit ith his Pus-siaa iriends. Moreover, if is intimated by persons ho should know most about the 1 id's case that if his parents ill run. sent he will be accepted and regularly trained as one of the c.tr's naval oific.rs.

A 1 AIIII IltUL Compelled to Send Iff Sort to l'ron. W. Pobert A. Travis, a young married lu.ui of Clinton township, was indicted here four years ago for forgery. Ho escaped to California, but returning two years ago because of his wile's death was re arrested at her grave.

Hi father gave bail for him, after which be agas a disappeared, and all efforts to lecato him proved unavailing until he wrote Lome three wcel.s ago from Charlestowu. The old man, knowing that if bis sou was not deiior-d to the otiioers before tlio present June term of court, the bail bond must be forfeited and he and his aged wife must unrt with their farm and Lo cast upon the charity of others, cmploved a private detective, who went to the above place and last week landed iiobert iu jail at Morgantown. Although Travis had forged several notes lor larg amounts his father had made tlio losses good until only las faun remained. When the prisoner was Jed into the court room, and with tears running down his hecks pleaded guilty to the charges, and asked tor mercy, he won sympathy Irom both spectators and the judge, ho imposed upon lniu the lightest possible penalty, two years in the penitentiary.

IT. G. Dun Co. 's weekly review of trade says: The improvement expected from the issue of clearing house certificates, thus utilizing credits instead of ca.sk iu local dealings, has Dot yet been realized; other cities, especially at the West, have not taken similar measures to relieve the pressure, and the demand for money from the interior continues unabated. The volume of trade is considerably reduced by monetary stringency.

Bank clearings outside New York are declining materially in comparison with last year. In some departments of business orders for merchandise are since there i no assurance of ability to carry the goods until they are sold, while in other departments orders are not received because tho future is distrusted. The effect on the great (industries has been less thus far than might have been feared, as most of tho works are employed ou orders booked before tho trouble began, but many works aro reducing working force and must suspend operations unless the prospect becomes clearer. In the iron business no improvement is perceived and pig is as low as ever, and whilo finished products are still in fair demand prices are extremely low. It is thought the closing of some works will reduce the output ot pig considerably.

The wool manufacture is moving with greater caution than usual. At thi West at present milis are working mainly on past orders. Cotton goods are comparatively quiet, and while shipments of boots and shoes on past orders lar esceii last year's, new orders are not encouraging. Speculative markets have been much depressed by monetary stringency, wheat having sold for several days at the lowest price ever known here and at Chicago, though the wide margin between June and September fl'ers strong temptation for uso of motiey iu carrying. The movement of grain from the farms is large for the seasons aud by no me ins indicate x-haustion of stocks, az.d the visiblo supply decreases so slowly that purchased are little encouraged.

The new harvest already begins, and propacts are decidedly brightened by much needed rains in the Northwest during tiie week. Lower prices have increased the export demand, though it is not larjje (-noitgii to ilw much impression on the enormous stocks in ght. Corn has been weak with more cheering crop prospects, and hog products are weak because of monetary stringency. Cotton sharply declined, it partially recovered with stronger foreign auvices. Monetary pressure affects trade materially, collections aro unusually fI.jw and banks extremely cautious iu lending, even where they are utronly tortiti.il.

At Pittsburgh the volume of business hai somewhat and the fact that two prominent iron concerns are involved is not encouraging. It is thought the mills in trouble may 1 se, decreasing the output of pig, aud a strike regarding wages thought iiioro probable. At Cleveland trade is fairly good but money At Detroit manufacturers are discharging the prospect that many must close if the stringency continues. Laitis have a good effect on growing crops. At St.

I'aul and Minneapolis prospects are much brighter. Chicago reports no, distinct improve-mi iu in trade, though July sett -merits will soon release large sums and an easier market is expected. Speculation is much curtailed and prices tor wheat the lowest ever known. Local securities have shrunk severely and provisions are lower. Cltar-iugs show a decrease of o') p-r cent, real esfatts sales 30 and securities 40 compared with last receipts of nearly a.

1 products decrease. Milwaukee reports money slightly easier. Omaha trade is good and money plenty. St. Joseph reports 1,0 collections and Kansas City fair trade and collections.

Denver reports fair trade hut slow collections. At Louis the freight movement is gratitying. Laiiks are accommodating customers in all regular business but refusing speculators. At Atlanta trade is fair lor the season but col lections slow and money very close. At Mobile trade, is fair but money is tight.

The satta of foreign trade is not yet satisfactory, for exports of products fall below lat year's at New York in June thus far or about 14 per cent, while imports aro still somewhat larger than a year ago. Trading linstocks is much affected by monetary conditions, and prices have been depressed an a virago of -J. cents per hl.aio with some selling by foreigners of securities recently purchased. There is hope that July disbursements, the issue of certificates and ttie increased grain shipment will bring better conditions, but the failure are still numerous and include some of importance. The failures for tho week number 287, as compared with totats of 347 last wee k.

th corresponding week of last year the failures were 1U0. OX A If AlltSl'IlIMi BAIAKCE, The Spfnllhe Market Ready to I lop Cither Way.

KlTTAXirrsG, Pa. June 22. The sensational scenes of yesterday were surpassed in conrt this afternoon when Rhine and Spaythe testified against Dr. "Wyckoff In the murder trial. The features that maintain intense popular interest in the case are the personality of the accused and the probability of his conviction for murder.

The testimony is substantially the same as in the burglary case, and for the fourth time the evidence, including descriptions of the bank and premises, the slnooting of Shaeffer and the pursuit and capture of the burglars, waa threshed over. The crowd in attendance had learned these particulars too well to be interested. They yearned for the State to rest, and give the defense a chance to say what it had to otter. This forenoon the' aged father of the prisoner came into the court room. He is a physician of more than local professional repute in Buffalo, K.

Y. He is fully 70 years old and was accompanied by his wife, Wyckoffs step-mother. The old man walked to bis son's side and sat down, so neat to the widow of the brave man who lost his life by interfering with the execution of Wyckoffs plot that lie could have touched her with his outstretched hand. The prisoner's nerve had been sadly shaken during the past 24 hours, and when his father joined him his eyes ran over and his substantial tigure shook with suppressed sobs. "Whatever the doctor may be, he still retains too much pride not to feel the disgrace of his poe.it ion keenly.

He is brought to court wearing handcuffs, which shames" him greatly, and at his earnest request Deputy t'rum slips them oft at the court room door so that but few know of the precautions taken to prevent an escape. MAST WOMEN PRESENT. Efforts were made this forenoon to exclude much of the evidence lor the Sttte on the ground of irrelevancy, bnt the court permitted the whole story to be told. Spavthe confession yesterday called out the biggest crowd of the session to-day, tho preponderance of women being especially noticeable. They make no attempt conceal their anxiety to have a goocl long look at the doctor.

This afternoon the announcement that "both KM no and Spaythe would take- the witness stand was another powerful magnet. The rehash of testimony already taken occupied the time 1 ntil 4 o'clock. The missing Gallagher, hose name figured so conspicuously all lav, is a crook well known to the policy of outlying towns, as wen as lu ruuuurjn. jib is a oig icuow, and the at torneya say bis real name is ther Gallagher nor linen, as has stated.

Gallagher had ropes pockets with which to bind Cashier after we should bag him. AVe had oandoned all Hopes oi wording me joi though, and were bent only ou getting sway when the shooting wf.s done.

1 SHINE'S TESTIMONY. Rhine followed, saying: "I am 20 years Id, no more: my home is at Og leusburg, 5. and I've known "Wyckoff a year. When I met "Wyckoff at Mike Frey a saloon in Pittsburgh he proposed that we tob the bank at Leechburg, and asked me to come up and look the place over. Gallagher was at the conference.

Wyckofl met us in Pittsburgh on the morning of February 21. ttfTTTTni ht nf the job when we started aarur the bank Wyckorf particularly asked us II we were all armed. Sullivan was too drunk to do anything ou such a job, and we left him at Wyiki'fl's house." Then after detailing their movements until the alarm was raised at the bank, liuine went on: "iiefore I started I heard the shooting and saw Shaefter fall against the constable, Coller.

I can't swear positively as to who shot SliaefVer, but it, was ot Spaythe nor myself. What shooting was done on our side as doue by Gal'a-iher. I jumped into the hallway, raced 10 the street and got a clean start on tbe road. I ran abuut 10 miles down a tow-pat and up along a railroad. Yes, this is my the outs I wore.

I threw the revolver away while traversing the tow-path." WTCKOFF'S WEAK DEFENSE. Cross examined Khine repeated that they had abandoned the job when the ithooting was done. The defense is making much of this point, claiming in substance that, as the shooting was done alter the job which Wyckofl" is said to have planned was abandoned, he should not suffer the consequences. Albert Sitaley, a cab driver of Pittsburgh, was called to testify to driving Wyckofl" to a meeting of crooks, but the court ruled it out, because the defense could not show that Wyckoff went to meet Gallagher and the others of the gang on that occasion. The prosecution rested at 5:20.

After withdrawing for five minutes' consultation Attorney Kicbmocd for the defense requested adjournment until 7 o'clock. At that hour there was a great rush lor the court house to hear WyckofT'e defense, and there wasn't even standiug room. The defense was opeued by Wallace, who said they would admit Wyckoff 's complicity in the ban robbery, but they would insist and susw that he contemplated no killing, Wyckoff having instructed his pais to hurt no one, and the killing baring occurred after the abandonment of the job. therefore.it was argued, Wyckoff should ba acquitted, although he was unquestionably addicted to gambling and associated with crooks. AVyckofTs father was the first witness.

He said he had educated his son for the medical profession. The prisoner wept without restrain when bis old father was on the stand. THE BARBER'S 8TOEY. A. S.

I'asnen-gen Are Jeliiicel. The fifteenth annual convention of the Knights of St. Johu began Saturday in this city under the most auspicious circumstances. About 400 delegates were present and nearly 2,000 uniformed Knights took peaceable possession of the city and were welcomed as only Pittsburgh can welcome visitors. At 'J o'clock the delegates met at Lafayette hall and proceeded in a.

body to St. Pain's cathedral, where solemn hich mass was celebrated by lit. lie v. Pishop Fhelan. The sermon was preached by Kev.

T. Mnrphy, who took for his text the words: "Ami your child shall bo called the prophet of the Most High, because you shall go before his face and prepare his way." These words were spoken of John the Baptist and applied to this order, of which he is the patron saint. The Knights of St. John of to-day adhere to the tame ideas as the early crusaders. They had the church to uphold and the glory of God to spread throughout the world.

They hau he broad principles of the church to go un. and Father Murphy said he had no patience with those who try to reform by force. After the services the knights returned to Lafayette hall, where they were welcomed by Mayor McKenna. His address was responded to by President John W. Wilhelui ot Cleveland.

The standing committees were appointed at the morning session, and the credentials of delegates examined. The knights had possession of the city in the afternoon, and their apearance in procession created a most favorable impression. The local coinmanderies of the order have been seen here often, but few people appreciated the strength of the order uutil the parade yesterday afternoon and many were surprised. Commanderies were present from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and also from several points in All were in the uniform of tho order, and carried handsome banners, bearing the names and numbers of the commanderies. A finer lookine body of men has rarely been seen in this city, and the evolutions performed by the different organizations as the procession passed down Filth avenue showed that they had been carefully drilled.

Indeed, no better drilled procession of civic societies has ever been seen in this city. As usual with big processions the column started a little later than the tiine scheduled. It was after 2 o'clock when Grand Commander McGurrin gave the order to march trom the point of formation on Water street. The route was up Smith-field street to Third avenue, to Grant street, to Diamond street, to Koss street, to Fifth avenue, to Chatham street, to Wylie avenue, to Fifth avenee, to Market Street, to i.itierty street, to Ninth street, across the street bridge and along Anderson street to Church aveDue, to Cedar avenue, to Ohio street, to Lacock street, to Exposition park. Over were in line and it took about 40 miuutcs for the procession to pass a given point.
