REV. F. M. TODD'S DEFENSE.
He Tells Hi* Side of the Story to the
Presbytery of Washington To-day.
DB. SUNDERLAND'S OPE VINO REMARKS?TESTIMONY
AS TO THE ALIBI.
The Washington Presbytery resumed its session
for the trial of Rev. F. M. Todd In the New York
Avenue church at 10:15 this morning. For the en
llghtenment of the presbyteryja large map of the
Nokesvllle vicinity showing the roads and all
points Involved In the charge against Mr. Todd
and his defense was hung up In full view. It was
about 10 feet by 12, and gave a correct idea of the
vlolnlty.
The proceedings were opened with prayer by
the moderator, after which the roll was called.
On motion of Dr. Hamlin, the two vacancies on
the Judicial committee, cause by the absence ol
Dr. Fullerton and the assignment of Dr. Chllds as
counsel for the accused, were filled by the ap
pointment of Dr. Chester and Mr. Peck.
Dr. Chllds, for the prosecution, announc* d that
there were no more witnesses on nls side, ana the
moderator called on Dr. Sunderland to begin the
defense.
AFFIDAVITS ADMITTED.
By consent of both sides affidavits by T. B.
Mitchell, J. B. Warder, Homer and David Shaeffer,
and Mrs. and Miss Shaeffer were admitted as evi
dence. T. B. Mitchell swore that he saw Mr. Todd
Sass his house about 8 o'cIock on the morning of
[ay 24. J. Warder and the Shaeffers, who
live on the road llr. Todd's friends claim he passed,
swore that they did not see him on that road that
day, nor do they believe anybody could have
passed without being seen by them.
DR. SUNDERLAND, FOB THE DEFENSE, SAID
that it was only necessary to state that they con
fidently expected to contradict all the testimony
of the prosecuting witness, Robt. Turner; that the
defense would show that Mr. Todd pursued the
direct road from Dr. Beading's to his home In
Manassas, and was seen at different points along
the route. They would also show that Turner had
told conflicting stories and had loaded down his
soul with perjury; that Bodlne, a suspended mem
ber of the church, seized upon the scandal, and
aided by his uncle, Mr. Hornbaker, another enemy
of Mr. Todd, had endeavored to blast the charac
ter and ruin the usefulness of Mr. Todd.
MR. TODD TESTIFIES IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
The first witness for the defense was Mr. Todd
himself, who w^s sworn. In response to the ques
tion of the oath he answered with ftmphaai*, ?j
do."
?>He testified that he was born in Bedford County.
Pa.; that his father was a minister; he graduated
at Easton College, and had been pastor of the Ma
nassas and Nokesvllle church for ten years; he
preaches two Sundays a month at Nokesvllle; on
Sunday, May 22, he preached at Nokesvllle church
and spent the night at Mr. Snow's. About 9 a.m.
Monday he left Snow's and went to Slack's, reach
ing there about 10; asked Slack if he was ready
to go to Dr. Beading's, as slack had promised to go
there with him; was at Slack's till 5 p.m. Monday,
and then went alone to Dr. Readings, Slack not
being able to accompany him; staid at Beading's
Monday night; Tuesday morning ate breakfast at
Beading's at s o'clock; after breakfast witness
went Into the sitting room and read some articles
In newspapers to which his attention was called
by Dr. Beading. It took him half an hour to read
the articles; then the witness said he must go as
he wanted to see Mr. Slack before the latter should
start tor Manassas. Some time was consumed In
getting his horse ready so that It was about a
quarter to 9 o'clock when witness left Beading's.
Witness said he took the direct road (which he
traced on the map) to slack's; arrived there a few
minutes before 10; dismounted and remained at
Slack's half an hour; remounted and continued the
direct road to the church and stopped there to see
about some repairs; remained there perhaps a
quarter of an hour; resumed the direct road
to Manassas; met Snow, Moloney and Ermentrout
about ll o'clock; witness'watch was broken and
he could only tell the time by the distance he rode.
He reached home about 12 o'clock; did not see any
body in the cornfield at Curry's. Witness did not
pass Mrs. Shaeffer's house that morning. (Mrs.
Shaeffer testified that lye did;. Witness did not
meet or see any woman on the road that day; did
not meet Woodyard; did not see Turner (the col
ored witness). Mr. Todd, In response to ques
tions,
DENIED 8PBCIFICALLY AND IN DETAIL
the testimony of Turner.
Here Dr. Sunderland unwrapped and exposed to
view a decayed stick about 8 feet long and asked
Mr. Todd if be had ever seen it before. Wltnvst,
had seen It In Dr. Sunderland's study last week;
never saw It before that. Witness described his
satchel, saying he usually carried his sermons, his
comb and brush, a Testament, and sometimes a
shirt; these articles fill the bag. (The bag was
here produced. It resembled a small-sized mall
sack, being of leather.
Witness thought a small thin lap-robe might be
carried In the bag, but not with the other con
tents. He never carried a lap-robe In the bag;
never tried to put one In It. On that trip witness
wore a wide-brimmed hat, lined with green (the
hat produced), as the sun was hot and ne wanted
to protect his face. Witness said he was wearing
the same clothes he had on on the 24th of May.
ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
witness said the clock struck 8 while he was seated
at breakfast at Beading's. When ^e reached
Slack's Mrs. Slack said her husband had been gone
two hours. In cold weather witness was In the
habit of carrying a horse blanket rolled up and
strapped to his saddle. On May 24th witness had
no roll of any kind; had nothing but his traveling
bag. On Monday, while waiting for Slack to get
ready to accompany him to Beading's, Mr. Todd
took a walk Into the woods; though not a botanist,
he Is a student of nature. He had been told that
an ebony-stemmed fern grew there. On his walk
he saw two ladles In a buggy, and went up to them.
He chatted with them about twenty minutes, and
they gave him two books to read. The ladles
were not members of his church, but were friends
of his.
Dr. Chllds. "Have you any objection to railing
who they were?"
Mr. Todd. "No, sir."
The moderator deemed the question unneces
sary, and It was withdrawn.
In response to other questions Mr. Todd said the
two ladles whom he saw in the buggy on Monday
remained in the buggy during his presence; nei
ther gpt out or the buggy. Neither of them was
dressed like the woman described by Turner as
having been seen by him in the woods on Tues
day.
TESTIMONY OF FETER CURRY.
Mr. Peter Curry was next sworn. He resides at
Nokesvllle, near by the Presbyterian church. The
church is on his farm. Witness Is a Boman Cath
olic. He employed James Worder, Bobert Turner
Douglass Brent, and Elijah Siack to work in his'
corn-field on Monday; on Tuesday, next day, all
of tliem returned to work except slack. The work
of planting was finished about 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning. Witness had lived there seven years and
known Turner all that time. Witness had never
known Turner to tell a falsehood. Witness met
Turner on Wednesday, the day after the alleged
scene In the woods. Turner voluntarily told wit
ness that he had seen Mr. Todd In the woods with
a woman the day before; said he did not know the
woman. Turner offered to show witness the spot
where he claimed to have seen Mr. Todd, but wit
ness did not go. There are about twenty-three
acres of the woods.
Witness did not see Mr. Todd pass the corn-field
that (Tuesday) morning; did not hear any of the
other men say they saw him pass. Witness was
In the field until 9 o'clock that morning and would
probably have seen Mr. Todd had he passed.
When witness met Turner on the day after the
alleged scene In the woods, turner remarked that
Mr. Todd spoke to him (TUrner) In the woods, but
he had refused to speak to him on other occasions.
On Tuesday morning witness saw Woodyard on
horseback. Woodyard called on witness for a fox
hound. Woodyard was not with witness more
than ten minutes; that was about half past 9 a.
m. While in the corn-field witness saw a lady In
a buggy driving toward Nokesvllle; did not know
her.
On cross-examination Mr. Curry was positive it
was not later than 9:30 a. m. when he met Wood
yard. Turner's general character lor truth and
veracity was fairly good. Witness never heard
anybody accuse him of telling a lie. Witness
NEVER CAUGHT TURNER IN A LIB.
Dr. Chllds, in making inquiries as to whether or
not any of the men working in Curry's field saw
Mr. Todd pass or not, the moderator objected to
the question, "Did the other men say they did not
see him pass?" The moderator said It was not a
proper question, and he would not permit it.
Dr. Chllds retorted that he would not be put
down when he knew he was right. After some
discussion the question was asked and witness
replied that the other men did not say they saw
Mr. Todd pass, and witness felt sure they would
have mentioned It had they seen him. Turner
left the field at 9 o'clock that morning.
MRS. RKDDING'S TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Redding, wife of Dr. Bedding, living' about
six miles from Nokesvllle, testified that Mr. Todd
stayed at her house on the night of the 23d of May
and breakfasted late with them the next morning.
Breakfast was unusually late on account of house
hold duties, and Mr. Todd left the house on horse
back that morning at about 9 o'clock. Paid no
particular attention to his saddle bags. Saw no
lap robes or table cloths or anything similar; the
saddle-bags did not appear to contain any such
article.
On cross-examination witness said she saw Mr.
Holmes on the Sunday following, the 24th of May,
at her house, and left In company with Mr. Fultz.
Denied that she had ever told these men Mr.
Todd had left her house earlier than 9 o'clock on
the 23d. Witness Is not a member ot Mr. Todd's
church, but Is now a Baptist. Has no general hour

Jumped Ont of a Ball*
PROF. BALDWIN GRASPS A PARACHUTE AND FALLS A
MILE?WONDERFUL STECTACLE IN AN ILLINOIS TOWN.
The much-talked-of leap from a balloon was
made by Prof. Thos. S. Baldwin at the fairgrounds
in Qulncy, I1L, yesterday. Over 30,000 people wit
nessed the performance, which was the most
daring and thrilling ever attempted by man. His
original intention was to send the balloon up 2,000
feet and hold It captive by a rope and make
the Jump from that height, and afterward draw
down the balloon and make a regular voyage.
Owing to the high winds which prevailed the rope
scheme was abandoned. Baldwin ascended to tne
height of one mile, and then holding his parachute,
launched himself into space. The parachute is an
umbrella-shaped affair, with ribs of cord which
are prolonged and fastened to a ring to which the
aeronaut clings. The parachute is made of silk,
and is 18 feet in diameter. The parachute was
attached to the netting of the balloon by a small
cord. Intended to break by the weight of the aero
naut. When the Jump was made the parachute
was closed and the Aret 200 feet the aeronaut
dropped like a rock. Then, as the parachute ex
panded, the speed became less rapid, and the aero
naut and his strange apparatus Aoated steadily
down like a bird. It was a grand and beauti
ful tight. The descent was accomplished in three
minutes and twenty seconds. Mr. Baldwin struck
the ground with some force In a sliding manner,
but was not even Jarred by the shock. The de
scent varied about a quarter of a mite from the
vertical, and Baldwin struck the ground a mile
and a half from where the ascent was made. He
tried to collapse the balloon before jumping from
It, but the apparatus failed to work, ana the bai

Special Cable Diapatch to The Evnnxo Star.
London, July 5.?In parliament la*t night there
was a tremendous duel between Goschen and Har
court, In which the former received the severe*
handling that has fallen anybody for some time.
Goschen began by attacking M or ley, declaring
with quite unnecessary pouipousness, "It the
charge of obstruction. with the connivance of the
front opposition bench, has not been made, 1 will
make It." He screamingly extolled the queen's
personal service to the country and empire In the
cause of unionism, and vehemently charged the
leaders of the opposition with falling In a highly
responslblle duty by negic." ring to support the ex
ecutive in Its huge task in Ireland, which day by
day was becoming more difficult, Harcourt
bounded to the table, tlung his hat upon it, and
opposed Goschen In scathing language. It was
meet, he said, that the sneaking language they
had Just heurd should come from a convert. He
charged Goschen with always speaking In the
spirit of a deserter. "You have gone trom the
bench,''he said, "a deserter. We will take care
you do not return to It a spy." At this thrust eye
witnesses state that Goschen's sallow face turned
green. Harcourt concluded by describing Goschen
as having danced the death dance of the govern
ment.

London, July ft.?A memorandum issued to-day
from the Irish office, signed "A. J. B."?Balfour's
Initials?states that ?317,000 were spent from
1879 to 1885 in relieving distress in five unions in
Mayo and Galway, the total population of which
amounts to 156,000. This Is instructive, for In
these very unions plans of campaign have been
put in operation Ave times because the landlords
reiused a reduction of 25 per cent, campaigners
are thus execrated as thieves for endeavoring to
reduce impossible rents in a district where every
soul has received over two pounds charity In six
years. Three more eviction campaiug* l**gln lu

have been made. A force of soldiers Is on the spot.

Illuminating a Mountain.
FOURTH OP JULY CELEBRATED ON A U RAND SCALE I*
OREGON.
Portland, Ore., July 5.?For the Fourth of July
celebration yesterday Portland undertook and
successfully carried out an unprecedented feat in
the way of fire-works. It was no less than th?j
illumination of the summit of Mt. llood, the tall
est snow-covered peak In Oregon, 1~,7'?0 feet high.
This was done at exactly 11:30 last night, and the
11 v: Lit vas plainly seen Id this city, a distance or
fifty-one miles In a straight line. The Illuminating
agent was one hundred pounds ordluary red tire.
Tne task was accomplished by VVm. G. Steel, a lo
cal explorer of some note, assisted by Nelson W.
Durham, of the staff of the Oreguitian, and Ave
others. The party teft here Friday morning last
and camped Saturday night at the snow line.
From there to the summit the Journey was made
on foot, over soft snow In some places a.ad hard Ice
In others, where steos had to be cut wit A hatchets
and two dangerous crevasses cross<*?l. Besides,
five of the party had to carry twenty pounds of
red Are each. In addition to their blankets. I he
arraugement when they left hen* was for two of
the party to remain on the summit all night in
order to touch off the Are. This, of course, they
must have done, and It Is the first time t hat a hu
man being has spent a night on the summit of the
mountain. The Illumination was also seen in
eastern oregon at a distance of seventy-Are miles.
The party will begin the descent of the mountain
t ins morning.

IN THE OIL REGIONS.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 3.?A special from Erie, Pa.,
says the town of clarendon, in the upper oil
country and on the Philadelphia and Erie Kail
road, was almost wiped out by a conAagratlon
last night. Over 100 business hous? and dwellings.
Including Weaver's Hotel, Logan's Hotel and tne
post-office, were consumed before 1 o'clock this
morning, and the Aames were sUll spreading. The
town had no Are department, and the people were
compelled to Aght the flames with buckets of
water The conflagration started at 11:30 o'clock
last night In Weaver's Hotel, lu the middle of the
town and In ?n old mill on the outskirts. It
originated from the careless use of fireworks and,
reaching the oil tauks, the d<*strucilou of the
town was speedily wrought. J no. Stewart was
caught in the bursting of a tank and was cre
mated. It Is feared that many have met a similar

destroyed, and at 1 o'clock this morning Henry's
Hotel and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
depot were burning. The buildings being of pine
and hemlock burned like tinder. The greatest ex
citement prevails. The valley Is fuU of Are and
seething oil, and the people becoming panic
stricken have Aed to the hillsides for saiety. No
estimate can be put upon the loss, but there is
every reason to believe that It wlU reach hall a
