Meanwhile, however, calling their attention to the fact that a church has no constitutional right to withdraw from a presbytery without their consent. The committee had a double duty to perform—reply to the church and to prepare a minute of the action presbytery should take in obedience to the recommendations made by the general assembly. The report Is as follows: Your committee appointed to bring In a minute for the action of Presbytery in respect to the recent decision of the general assembly on the appealed case of the session of the Westminster church, respectfully submit the follow ing: To J. C. Salisbury, J. K. Hoffman, H. G. Wylte, H. N. Avery and H. T.

You Ac requested to send an answer to the stated clerk before July 6th. An animated discussion ensued on these reports. Rev. Mr. Kipp thought they were fulfilling the letter bt/t not the spirit of the law. The letter kllleth every time. What they needed was more of the spirit and not so much of the letter. Rev. W. L. Johnson thought they were not proceeding in the spirit of Christ. The Westminster church is bound up in the life of the Presbytery, and he urged that a committee be appointed to carry these letters personally and plead with them to reconsider their action. The discussion continued until in urgent call to lunch came from the ladies of Immanuel church, whereupon the session adjourned until 7:15.

Several members thought the letter should be sent to the recalcitrant brethren to set the presby tery right before the people. The discus sion proceeded excitedly but good na turedly. On motion, Reverends Stewart, Kipp, Johnston, Strong, and Elder W. S. Craw ford were finally appointed to prepare the aforesaid pastoral letter. The presbytery adjourned to meet In Immanuel church July 6th.

CAMPBELL A MANIAC Pitiable Condition of the Silver Tongued Orator HIS IVUUDY DIAGNOSED Aa Brain Fever, and Death May Soon End His Sufferings Mysteriously Disappeared on Sunday Evening. Found In South Alhambra Yeatorday Disheveled and Worn Out Gen. A.B. Campbell, the silver-tongued orator whose eloquence has so often elec trliied audiences in this city and sur rounding section as he spoke from plat form or stump, now lies in the padded cell In the county Jail, a raving, shriek ing maniac, his hands confined in the muffs and ptherwise restricted In his movements to prevent him from doing injury to himself or others. His malady is diagnosed as brain fever and his con dition Is such that death may come as the only relief to his sufferings. Gen. Campbell came here originally from Kansas and soon made a reputa tion for himself as an orator of unusual eloquence. He is a lawyer by profession and a Republican In politics. Since the death of his wife, which occurred some months ago, Gen. Campbell has not been the same man and his friends have re marked the change. He brooded con tinually over her demise and this un doubtedly has had much to do with un settling his mind. Last Saturday evening Gen. Camp- GEN. A. B. CAnPBELL—The Unfortunate Victim of an Attack of Insanity bell spoke at the Republican ratification meeting at the pavilion after repeated calls for his appearance. He was not down on the program for a speech, but the audience clamorously called for him and at the conclusion of the set speeches he responded. His effort was not what had been expected, being of a rambling, ranting, incoherent character, which, in the light of subsequent events, seems to have indicated that his disease had already begun to run its course. General Campbell was much dissatis fied with the result of his speech and on Sunday expressed himself several times to friends on the subject, saying that he wished he could have replied earlier on the program and thus been accorded a better reception. Sunday evening he mysteriously disappeared from the city and was not heard of until yesterday morning, when he appeared at a resi dence In South Alhambra, disheveled and worn out, saying that he must have been out of his head as he did not know how he came there, but asked to be taken in and cared for until his friends could be communicated with. This was done and a personal friend of his named Bayllss, who lived just across the street, talked to Mr. Campbell and at his request telephoned for Drs. Tuttle and Campbell, the coroner, who came out and took the general back to tl city. All day yesterday the physicians work ed with him and succeeded in quieting him considerably. Along about 8:30 in the evening Dr. Campbell took him out to supper, when the general seemed in his right mind. He ate a hearty meal and was conducted back to his lodgings on Spring street, near Eighth. All went well until about 10:30 when he again Ifiew violent. Despite the efforts of Dr. Campbell he rushed onto the sidewalk In his shirt sleeves and began to roar and rant in a loud voice, causing a crowd to assemble. A Herald reporter who approached and asked the general what the trouble was was ordered to leave at the peril of his life, to kneel down or instant death would overtake him. It being impossi ble to pacify or even control him the patrol wagon was sent for. Officer Fowle had come upon the scene and as the maniac's struggles became more violent and his actions threaten ing he was handcuffed and conveyed foaming and shrieking to the county jail. There Dr. Campbell administered a dose of bromide of potassium and gave a hypodermic injection of morphine, but to little purpose as the unfortunate man continued in a most violent mood. He was placed in the padded cell, where all night long he made stump speeches and gave vent to oratorical efforts that kept the whole jail awake. It had been the intention of Dr. Camp boll to take his patient to Santa Monica this 'morning to try the effect of sea baths and air, but he is now in too des perate a condition. His aliment Is said to be brain fever, and his chances for recovery doubtful. The personal ap pearance of the maniac was terrible. Great drops of perspiration stood on his brow, the veins in his face stood out like whipcords, while the whole countenance was of a purplish hue. His terrible struggles told on even his massive frame, but until he was exhausted the fearful and sometimes eloquent denun ciations of all about him, theh switch ing to political or religious topics, con tinued until even superhuman strength could stand no more and he lapsed Into silence through sheer exhaustion. It is probable unless some change can be made in his condition today that he will succumb to the ravages of tho disease. Grocery Store Robbed On Saturday night, last the grocery store of Rockhill & Scott, known as the Crown Hills grocery, at the corner of First street and Belmont avenue was entered and robbed but nothing of great value taken. The thieves gained en trance by prying open a back window and, once inside, rilled the cash drawer and then took away some cutlery cigars and small stuff. The matter was re ported to the police but no cltw has as yet been found. An Active Official PHOENIX, Ariz., June 22.-Since assum ing office dov.

A VERY CLEVER CAPTURE Of a Swindler Who Evolved a New Scheme Deeds and Mortgages In His Possession Show That He Found Dupes as Dis honest as Himself KANSAS CITY, June 22.—The Journal tomorrow will announce the arrest at Neosho, Mo., by Deputy United States Marshal Pearman, of a swindler who has eluded the agents of the treasury department for nearly three years. The swindle exposed by the arrest was oper ated on lines wholly new. The chief operator, who Is known as J. R. Bell, alias James F. Swartz, is in jail at Springfield. Along with him are M. A. Maglnnis and Thomas Robblns, hereto fore respected citizens of Neosho, who are said to have become parties to the fraud. Bell claimed to be a secret agent of President Cleveland's administration and carried an alleged commission bear ing the signature of W. Q. Gresham, secretary of state, and dated August 13, 1894. The pretended mission of the swindler was to distribute campaign funds for the national administration and he claimed to be able to give out to favored ones greenbacks that had been presented to the government for redemption and can celed. He claimed that instead of de stroying these bills the administration stored them in the treasury vaults to be distributed by him for campaign pur poses. From each of his dupes the swindler exacted an initiating fee of $250 and he represented to them that the number of citizens admitted to the brotherhood vas so regulated that each member would be given $4000 annually to distribute. Notwithstanding that the scheme was clearly fraudulent the authorities have evidences that the swindle has been ex tensively worked in Texas, Central Mis souri and Kansas. Among the "bills" was also found a number of foreign mortgages and deeds. The correspondence shows that he has been making negotiations with several eastern trust companies for their dis posal. The swindler was greatly as sisted in convincing his dupes by some accomplice in Washington, from whom he received daily mail including treas ury reports and other statements that were apparently sent to him in franked envelopes.. These were exhibited as an evidence of his authority. Bell, or Swartz, claims to be a Call fornian.
