The first symptoms of the malady that caused death were noted about two years ago, ttp to'which time Mr, Smith had enjoyed good health, but he was i1l for two days only, and went about attendlug to his affales as. usual nfter recovering fronr the attack through the treatment of Dr, Bevan, the fami- il 1y phy: . . The 2Gtifol July lust, however, he was agaln prostrated by w similar ailment, ond, being & man of 70 years, It-had the ‘effect of weakening him greatly, and he was compelied to relinquish business cares and scek rest. A Tew weeks ago ho showed rizus of recovery, and went out. Ilis iind was clear, and he experienced no pain ln the head, such as had accompanied all lifs {lincrses, But week hefora last the pains In the head returned, and the pattent began togrow worse, Dr. Bevan rallled him by dint of ekitiful treatinent, aud he becatne somitch botter that the physiclan was hopeful abuut his recovery, By New-Yenr'a Evo lie became o weak that'be contd not help himeelf, and Sunday nlght Jast Mr, Enos Ayres, who had sat up witt him, theught be was taliinz quite ranidly, Dra.

The father was a farmer, and re- moved to Lawrence County, Ohio, in 1800, At the ogze of €3 years the son went to Clncinnati, where ho purchased dry goods and opened o store at Eizht-Mila House, QGaltls, Countr, O, ‘There bo remalned seven R‘esn, accamulated $5,000, and, disposing of the store, went to Marletla, where tie enzaged {n a retall mercan- tile business till 1844. Thenee bo romoved to Madison, Tod., where he formed a partnership with Lucius _ Barbour, under the firm name of Barhonr & Smith, and carried on 8 wholesale dry-woods trade for four years. He sold out to his' partner in 1548, and came to Chicaro, which hiad then 20,000 inkabitants, and opeaed the first cxc]uslvelfl wholesale dry-rroods house tn the city on South water street. When the Galenn Rallroad was completed ha shipped the flrst box of dry goods over it. He retired from the dry-goods tradein 1855, and in 1850 formed a copartnershipwith John C. Willlams and Hamuol Bllss inthe wholesalo zrocery busliness on South Watcr, under the .style of Willlams, Smith & Co. At tha close of the lifth year Mr. \illlams withdrew, and the flrm became Smith & Bliss. In 1800 Mr. 8mith retired from mer- cantile ifc aftor ‘s successful carcer of thirty- five years.

In the meantime, Mr. T. M.

At the lime of hor removal she was eutirely unconscious, and blood was escaping In small quantlties from her r. Bluthardt thought that she had con- cussion of the braln, and that her recovery was douhtlul, althouzh he hoped for the best.” fler hiead and eyes were badly swollen, but the ex- tent of her internal injuries, if any there were, could not be determined at that time. 8he looked to be about 45 years of nge.

TIE PARK AVENUR CHURCIT, In October lnst a “*disaffection” was sald to have bruken out in the Park Avenue Methodlst Church which caused conslderable commotion fn the congregation. Thia '*disaffection,” as stat- ed then, was due partly to cliofr troubles and partly to dissatisfaction with the pastor. The prediction was then made by those *disaffected that unless a compromisc was cffected members wouldl withdraw Uy scorcs, and that the church would be so depleted of its congregation that the secd sown Lhere would mot bear fruit, ‘These and many more predictions s to the fate of Methodlsm on Park s-enue wers venturcd, Bome of them have been realized. A portion of tho congrezation has suvered ita connection with the church and gone to worshlp elsewhere. Bunday eleven seccders publicly renounced the teachiugs of Wesloy, and acknowledzing the falth ot Calvin, were recelved Into the Eighsh Presbyterian Church 1o full fellowship. This almost unheard-of chnoge of crecd revived the ‘isafTection” supposed to be over, and a rumor found expresston that the church and pastor were on the evoof scparating, With a view to ascertaln what facts cxlsted for this rumor, 8 TRIDUNE reporter called on tho Rev. Dr. McChesncy last cvening to fret at the true inwardncss, if possible, of the situation, Tho pastor stated that within the past threo months twenty mémbera aud two probationers of the church had withdrawn, The why or wherefors of this he felt constrafued not "to speak of. It was a delieate matter for o pastor to place bimsel! in antngonism with the public or the church by a newspaper discusslon, ie did not vourt the conspiculty it would entail, and preferred to say nothing. With regard to the atatements that he was chielly concerued about selling Minnesota Jands, he said ho had oot been absent from his pulpit once or neglected a single pastoral duty during the conference year. While scemlugly feellng the situation he yet de- clined to say anything us to_the causes which vrompted comniunicants in Park Avenue Chureh to changa thelr place of worship. Finding notbing could bu obtained, and act- ing upou the Rev. Dr. MeChenney’s suggestion, the reporter next ealled upon Alr. Dickinson, 8 clase-leader fu the church. That gentlewna stated that there was sbsolutely nuthiug new. ‘The trouble had been published In the papere thres monthis ago, and tners was noth- gz additional. 1t wos trus that . the lind been withdrawals from the church, but t accossions had fully supplied such vacaucies. Theso withdrawals wers based, as safd, uoon the action of the Conference in nssigning Mr. McCtiesney to the Park Avenue Caurch for tho third time. Tha opoositiun to this action wus based upon Mr. McCheaucy's rofusal to subor- dinate himself to the wishes of a presuming Bunday-school teacher. Thls was the hezinnine, and othor causes followed during the necond Conference year. They were witnout foumla- tion, and ouéght not to effect the ubject which {t was sought to secure by them. The pastor was o ool mau, so able man, who had reduced the church debt materially, and who had done the work sut befors him faithfully. Inregurd to diminishing the congregation, theso withdrawals had not doue o at all. “The membership to-day numbered 800, the chiurch was more prosperous than it ever had Leen Lefore, and thers acemod to be in the future nothing but encouragenient, GEORGE A. MASON. GETTING GOODS UNDER ¥ALSN MRETENSES, Tho case of Ueorge A, Mason, the yonng man who was lately brought back from the East by Coustable Ilartman, proves to be of a rather more sensatfonal character than at first sup- vosed, and brings io the nanfes of persons of tho lighest respectabllity in business and ro- liglous circles, Tnteresting detalls of the trane- actions of the younz maa were brought to light yesterday for tho first time. Mason was ar- ralzued belore Justice Footo at the {natance of E. 8. Jailray & Co., wholesale dry-goods deal- ers, who charzed him with obtalning goods un- der false protcuses, and he was held for trisl at the Criminal Court, and a bond of 8500 was furnished ns sccurity for his np- pearance.

C, Mason, Hecretary of the Baptist Iome Mission of Bos- ton, and'a uvephew of the Itev, Dr, lobinson, alsu a Baptise clergyman, Hels a young man of good education, and fs married. At tho thine of his business troublea—which began along in 1570—ho wus enguged n the retall dry goods, wnillinery, aud uotions trady, haviur a'store at Bloomington, in this State, and stocked his place from tha leading wholeaale houses in this city, where be obtalued credit uoon makiog what appeared to the plausi- bte und honest represcutations as to his Onanclat and business standing. o Seotember, 1876, there were entered up agsinst Georgo A, Mason juduwments fu the Cireult Court of McLean County, in favor of his father, fcr 8,000 and some add dollars, and of bis uncle for $1,000, by confesston. Judgment notes were drawn up and dated 1875, Urevious to the ens terlug up of thuss Judizments,—In July, August, aud September, 1870,—tho young, man came to Chieago Lo burchaso goods from Field, Leiter & Co.y Johin V, Farwell & Co., Curson, Plric, 8cott & Co., E. 8 Juffray & Co., Wethérell & Co.y and.otber well-known firms having goods suit- able for his busipess. In order to obiain the credit in deslred be madeo written and verbal statements of his financial stauding. To the first-inamed tirm b filled o blunk showlng, bis standing, and signed it, snd, upon the strodzth of it, heobtaioed s on thne. It shows that hie Liad 8174 in cash, and that he owed his father $1,000, which were the princpal ltems lo tho docuinent. But nothing about judzinent notes 1s coutained In it, nor o any sluiflar statements wade 1o the other firme from whom he vt gouds on credit, He went back to Bloomington, und sbortly afiorward confessed judgment for §12,000 on the ault of his father and uncle, and then skipped quletly ufl. Hy virtue of the fudgments. the Sherfl of MeLean County levied on the stock of goods and sold it for the beuetlt of the baak- vupt's father ond uncle. Upon learning of thess procecdings Messra.
