ject, “The Ministry of Elijah and
Elisha—Then and Now'," with the text
from n. Kings ii.. 12, and fl. Kings
xiii., 34. After contrasting the. char
acters of the ancient prophets—Elijah
as destrictive, a separatist and a re
former, and Elisha ns constructive,
harmonizing and a peacemaker—he
asked whether there* were not today
ministers who differed as widely in
gifts, knowledge and wisdom, and yet
were equally honored of God.
Basing the fundamental work of the
church on the facts that sin is in the
world, that God’s kingdom has not yet
come, that wickedness prevails m
places, and that “vice, internpei-unoe
and unbelief lift up their heads Ivftily
and the ark of God trembles," Dr. Lit
tle asked: "What is the mission of
the pulpit under such conditions? Is it
surprising its occupants do not il vays
possess the same ideals? Assuming, if
you please, an equal consecration, is it
surprising to find they differ in -taod
point, in outlook, in temperament and
in method?"
Dr. Little urged close adherence to
the creed.
"All churches have creeds, wviuon
or unwritten," he said. "The chcrcu
which has a mission has it bec-K se of;
its own interpretation of the w:»rl of
God. That interpretation should he
clear and decided. When it ce'iaas to
possess and preserve a doctrinal iden
tity it will lose its place among the
active working forces of the k,r.gd>* n !
The Presbyterian .Church has its creed
-the confession of faith—which sot31
forth in an orderly way the doc Vines*
taught in the Bible, as undo:-*. >oJi by?
us. We ask our ministers, n theiv 01-'
dination vows, to pledge their fidelity I
thereto, and while? they may be *,' ?r* ,
milted some elasticity in the intorpre- !
tation of the phrase ‘containing the,
system of doctrine taught in the hojv .
Scriptures,’ t here shotild he uo tug- J
sling with the phraseology ami the ;u - .
• eptance should he sincere.
"And. further, the highest Judioavny ;
of the church must be the final curt.1
for the declaration of the necessary \
and essential articles of faith. Sucii |
a declaration w as made by the ::2PfraI,
assembly one year ago."
Church unity of the present day was;
emphasized, according to Dr. Little,
hy the numerous interdenominational
associations, conventions. councils,
brotherhoods, the laymen's missionary
movement and the in torch urch federa
tion, with its thirty-two Christian de
nominations.
"As for ourselves," he said, “who i
can doubt God will make the place of
His feet in our land more glorious by !
bringing together, in name and in1
heart, as one, the different reformed j
churches holding the Presbyterian sys
tem. Are any praying for this?”

„
Frank Rosa Accused of Slaying
/Wan Who Slapped His
Face.
It took less than u i hciir to obtain
a jury in the four; ui Oyer and Tor
miner today to try Srenk Rosa, of 74
Summer avenue, who in under indict
ment for murooring Antaruo Ant-meld
following » saloon row at 40 Stone
street on Sunday night, .ipiil P.
Although Rosa Is -n.i.vi-.-J for minder
in the first deyr .a ‘In- pivse-ui ling '.•Ul
cer* do not expect oe'.ur ' ban a \er
dict of murder in Un second dtu.rec,
as ihe killing was committed follow
ing a fight lu the sulom of Angelo
Abrusisse**, after which the partici
pant* adjourned to tiia sidewalk at
the corner of Sixth avenue anti Stone
street, where it was renewed.
Neither Rosa nor Antonelli, his vic
tim, had taken part in the row- Inside
of the saloon, but when the prfrtv
reached the street it is alleged that
Antonelli and Rosa had some words
which resulted In Antonelli slapping
Rosa in the face.
Rosa ran aeross Sixth avenue and
when he reached the opposite curb
turned and fired a shot from revol
ver at Antonelli, the bi’llet entering
the clie*t near the heart. Antonelli
died three days later at the City Hos
pital, while Rosa, together with Doner o
Di Marco and Antonio Giorlio, botli
of 40 Stone street, were placed unde
arrest within a short time of the shoot
ing.
Di Marco and Giorlio. who were thv
pair who started the fight inside th-i
saloon, were held as material witnesses
to the shooting and will testify at tlio
trial today.
First Assistant Prosecutor Frederick
tt. I.chlbach Is handling the case for
Ihe State, while Gaetano M. Belfatto
has been assigned by the court to look
after the interests of Rosa.
Gaetano M. Belfatto, counsel for the
accused, secured two of his witnesses
for the defense in a most unusual man
ner. owing to the fact that he had been
appointed to defend Res, , instead of
being retained by the prisoner.
He found that Umberto Amort, of 40
Stone street, and Gulseppie Glnessi, of
the same address, wore not present
Then he asked for and obtained a bench
warrant for the men. Constable Otto
A. Lebort was sent out to find them.
He found one of them at work In a
stone yard on Fourth avenue and 111v
other wielding a ptev and shoyel in -i
cellar excavation on Seventh avenue,
fhey wore brought to court and wiii > s
held until they have testified for the
Jelensu,
The employment of such summary
methods or; the part gf the do'ensr ,i a
murder trial Is of rare occurrence.
Ill opening the prosecution Mr. Lelil
back said he hoped to prove to the
jury that the murder was one In the
first degree, as 1t would be shown thn'
the only provocation that Rosa had
Cor (he shooting was an open-handed
slap in the face given by Antonelli,
and that, alter receiving the slap Rosa
had first started to run away and had
then turned and deliberately shot An
tonelli. The case is expected to so
to the jury tomorrow morning

At the meeting of local 177 last
night the striking can-makers became

SAYS ENGAGEMENT WITH
DURYEA WAS UNDERSTOOD
She Disclaims Helping to In*
crease Fortune Left Him
by Father.
For the first time since tile death if
Waiter E. Duryea. on Friday last, .Miss
Eleanor Peregrine, a trained nurse,
who devoted twelve years of her life
i to nursing him after he had sustained
a broken neck, to whom lie bequeathed
the bulk of his estate, variously esti
mated at from *500,000 to *l,00u.000, has
talked of her relations with the in
valid.
The interview was granted at the
; home in Montclair, where Duryea died,
and which under the will goes to Miss
Peregrine. Miss Peregrine is between
o5 and 40 years of age, and is good
looking, with dark hair and large
1 brown eyes.
I "in the first place I want to say that
Mr. Dnryea's fortune was not as large
as stated." she said.' "Jn fact it has
been greatly exaggerated in the public
prints. On the death of bis father he
• received hurdly more than half a
million dollars.’'
, ‘ But it has been stated that your
efiorts have largely increased it." Miss
Peregrine was told.
Ignore.] the Suggestion.
Miss Peregrine ignored the sugges
tion and continued: "Owing to Wul
| ter - invalidism he was isolated from
business circles and prevented from
entering many profitable enterprises, so
the lortune is now probably less than
I it was twelve years ago.”
"Dow about the story that von were
married to Mr. Duryea?" she was
asked.
Miss Peregrine's eyes flashed as she
answered:
r want to settle that report at once
and for all time. I could have been
married to Mr. Duryea. It was Ms
wish. But I never would consent to a
marriage, although I did not refus
u rir°;,trlf1:!' and “ generally
understood that we were engaged. Tn

a little bit angrily.
“I have just told you that It w- s
generally understood that Mr. Duryea
and I were engaged, although I would
not consent to a marriage. Therefore.
Iron could there be any other"
“T appreciated Mr. Du.vm',- friend
ship and his death has been a great
personal loss to me. Any bequjst that
may have been made me was the le
stilt of calm and deliberate Ihouent
and after full consultation with 1 is
lawyers."
"Do you expect a contest .if the
will?" Miss Peregrine was asked.
IJoes .Not Fear Contest.
Slowly and carefully weighing her
words, the nurse answered: "I do not
fear that his wishes will he upsur by
any action at court by any of hi® rela
tives.”
"don ncre not on friendly terms with
Mr. Dnryea's relatives'.'” was sug,;,vt
cd to Miss Peregrine.
“I cannot answer that question, she
replied. T was always sorry there
wore differences between 'Walter and
his sisters and tried frequently to bring
them together in better relations, but
tlio contest over the father's estate
had left bad feeding. There were some
things Mr. Duryea could not forgive."
Asked about her own family. Miss
Peregrine would not say anything. "The
notoriety thrust upon me is distaste
ful, .-he said, "and. if I can prevent
It, none of my relatives shall be simi
larly afflicted.”
Miss Peregrine admitted that Mrs.
Grace Duryea Sprigg, of Essex Fells,
sister of thj dead man, had called at
the Montclair home on Tuesday nighi.
accompanied by a lawyer, but abso
lutely refused to discuss what took
place at the meeting. Miss Peregrine
would not even say she had talked
with Mrs. Sprigg.
DECREE SIGNED IN
CANAL BASIN SDII
AGAINST LEHIGH
Vice-Chancellor Stevens today signed
the decree in the case of the State
against the Lehigh Valley railroad for
the possession of the tidewater basin
at Jersey City, an opinion having been
handed down in February vesting the
ownership in the State on the return
to the railroad company when the lease
expires, ol the purchase money and in
terest.
William 1J. Corbin, representing the
Lehigh Valley, and former Supreme
Justice Bennet Van Syckel. special
counsel for the State, appeared before
the vice-chancellor for the signing of
the decree.
The suit to determine the rights ef
the Lehigh Valley In the basin at
Jersey City, which Is the outlet of#the
Morris canal, and also includes prop
erty upon which the Lehigh terminal
is situated, was begun after a resolu
tion had been passed In the Legisla
ture directing the attorney-general’s
office to take such action.
The Lehigh Valley, as lessee of the
Morris Canal and Banking Company,
acquired from the State in 1S6T the big
basin at Jersey City under the same
terms as the charter of the Morris
canal, which was to revert to the State
In 1874. The lands granted, "with the
Improvements thereon," were to revert
to the State on the same terms as the
original charter.
