McConnochie was brought up from his coli a iow minutes belore tea o’clock, having a coat on ‘or the first time during the trial’ The opening for the defence by the junior counsel, Theodore J. Armstroog, not having been concluded on Wednesday, he proceeded farther to unfold the theory und plan of detence, It was’ pfoposed to show that Kate Hoffman and not McConnochie was probably the murderer; that the prisoner was virtually ap imbecile, being afflicted with dementia naturalis; that he was incapable of commit- Ung one of the crimes charged against him in the jn- dictment, and that the coniessions alleged to have been made were extorted trom him under fear, ‘The defence first’ produced certain records from the County Clerk's office, with d view to impeaching the veracity of Charles W.

Once the father sent him to Lowa, but !n a few moths be re- turned in “rags and tatters,” having worked lis way back; he tried to have him Jearn a trade two or threo times, but he would stay only about a week in each erse; he was generally respectful to his futher; he never used bad language in the presence of the father, but the mother complained of him in this respect; Frank was formerly a stout, rugged boy, but within a year or two past he bad appeared sick}; Counsel proposed to exumine the withess as to what Detective Payn said whe iting his house, but the Disirict Atvorney objecied, and the Court sustained the object! ‘The witness was cross-examined by the District At- torney. The father thought nis gon rather more Sdevil-may-care”? than , and ‘that be lacked appli- cation; he kuew rigut t1oim wrong, most decidedly; he was rather disposed to live the lite of a tramp; when at Lome he was in the habit of going to the the.

Payn then, be alleged, related to several persons the detuils of the confession previously made by McCou- nochie, which the latter seems to have verified by words or nods, after which Payn told those present that they could have a little tun with the prisouer and left the room, when the prisoucr was threatened with w rope, aud MeCounochie fled for protection to Payn, Crogs-examined:—The witness was under the im. Lape that the rope was broughé into the room, ut he was not sure of it; there was no direct threat made to the prisoner, but'some ono suid, “Here's the rope, where's the man?” it appeared that no con- fession was bere obtained in consequence of threats or intinsidation, Oticer Abraham Humer, of Jamaica, was called and Questioned as to the arrest of Slichuel Collins on suse picion of having committed the murder, the purpose being to divert suspicion from McConnochie, as in the case of Kate Hollman, Statements as to Collins’ character, bowever, were excluded.

Alter some otber, but unimportant testimony, the Court adjourned for the day, FROM RUM TO ROPE, A LIYE OF DISSIPATION ENDED BY SELF-DE- STRUCTION—FREDERICK BENSEN'S SAD FATE, Officer Landseidler, of the Tenth precinct, while on patrol duty in Division street yesterday had hia atten- tion called to No. 52 Division street by the cries of a child who appeared upon tho stoop and, gesticulating violently, culled for assistance, The policeman hurried to the door and was met by tho announcement that a man had hung bimnself inside. “Yes,” cried the little girl, ‘‘he is in that room.” Following the direction in which she pointed, the officer threw open a door and entered a room on the first story, There was a bed in the apartment anda neat dressing cuse, although neither seemed to have been used forsome time. Against the wall stood a stout oaken wardrobe, and from one of the hooks, by means ot twisted cords, was hanging the body of a young man, The face was white, the muscles contracted, and life had evidently been extinct for hours, The oflicer helped others of the household who burried in to cut down the body. It was a plain case of suicide, A. WAYWARD YOUTH, ‘The deceased was Frederick Bensen, son of the con- fectioner of the same name, He was a native of this city and for years a rosideut of the Tenth ward, From his boyh he indulged in extravagant habits, aud his father, who was man of earetul and industrious ways, frequently had occca- sion to reprove his waywardness, Counsel, however, seemed lost upon the young man, for he gave himself up to dissipation, and it was only when threateped with being disipherited that he aban- doned bis covil ways and adopted a more re spectable method of living Hie encouraged by this improvement im bis habits to attewpt what he had long determined upon—s trip to Europe and @ sojourn atthe placo of bis birth, Some time ago he leit the business in the young man’ care and went to Drangstedt, near Bremen, There he has abided ever since, AGAIN AT THE WINE CUP. Young Frederick was jora time attentive to his duties, but before long he became more reckless than ever. He contracted debis amounting to over $4,000, which his father’s attorney was compelled to pay, and later on others to the amount of $1,600, which received @ seiticment at the same person’s hauds. A BUPRRADDED HOKROR, Alarmed by these evidences of carelessness aud ex- travagance the attorney wrote to Bensen, Sr., acquainting him with his gon’s delinquencies. in r sponse to this,tne father left Bremen and was e: pected in the steamship Neckar last night, ‘Accordfeg to the account of the landlord of tho house in which he resided young Bensen was accustomed 10 go out at seven o'clock in the moraing und used to come home atone, He quar- relled with bis wife Intely, who has been always atten- tive to his wants and a good mother to his three littie ones, For the last few weeks he has sie alone, and yesterday morning he came home at the usual hour and retired to his room. When the family arose and endcayored to awaken bim it was found 1 possible toenter the room. The landiord, Mr. Ko bamens, was summoned. He opened the door and found Bensen banging fro the wardrobe, dead.

It is cer- tainly not unusual that public honors should be ve- stowed for great public services, but it is not otten that these honors are made not only the me: of perpetuating the memory of those service: but also, as to-aay, the iraiiul source of future good, When Holland was saved in the sixteenth centary by the heroic deicnce of Leyden public gratitude to its cati- zons tound its highest expression in the establishment aud enduwment of a university within its walls. What that univoreity became to the city of Leyden, to Holland and to the world I need not say. but J may venture to congratulate Mr. Welsh and yourselves on having foliowed so noble an example, You will be told to-day bow and why this was done. At the beginning of our proceedings I invite the Right Kev. Bishop Stevens to imvoke the blessing of Almignty God, Alter tho prayer of the Bishop Hon. Morton Mc- Michael presented the memorial fund to Mr, Welsh in an interesting and eloquent address, in which, after complimenting Mr. Welsh’s work, he turned to that gentleman and, in conclusion, said; — Mr. WxisH—A number of your townsmet ing the leading interests of Philadelphia an ing, as they believe they do, i their act the sentiment Of its whole people, for the reasons | have impertectly indicated have united in presenting to you this cer- fiticate for $50,000, This sum, spontaneously contributed by ‘the donors, they have placed absoluscly at Your disposal without stipulation or reservation, to be used as your own discretion might determine, They koew, for they knew you, that, however agreeable as an cviaence of good will such an offering might be, you would not accept it unless it could be’ made instru meptal to some beneficial end, and they are not sur- prised that you have applied it to the endowment of w professorship of bh gt and Koglish hterature in this venerabie university. Identifiea as you have long been with its fortunes, prominent as you have been in extending its influence aud clevating its char- acter, and deeply concerned as you have proved yourself to be in its welfare, it was most appropriate that you should make wm institution, ripe im treasured traditions of the pastand glowing with brilliant anticipations of the tuture, the recipient of your favor, And, sir, having temporaries sound in your ears, you can look forward with prophetic vision and enjoy the cousciousness thut in the coming years, as successive generations of ingep- uous youth crowd these bails, to gather {row the lips of the bountiful mother the teachings that are to prepare them for the struggle of existence, as they pause be- lore yonder tablet and read the inscription it bears, they Will hail the memory, as we hail the presence, of our friend and their benefactor, MR. WEHLSIS RESPONSE, Mr. Welsh's reply was along and carefully written history of the Exbibition from its inception to the end. His conclading paragraphs were as follows:— ‘The Exhibivion has pussed away, Was it merely o source 0; inomentury gratification or has it left such engaged im it by the fruits which will follow it? fruits are already ripening for the harvest, The natiors who mingied together here, and the people of the diferent sections of our own country who met upon the hallowed spot, lowrned that respect tor each Other which bas s0 much power in the removel of prejudice, in subduing sectional animosities and in allaying partisan feelings. ouly in tis, bat in all that contributes to the vievation of manxind, the gain was great. The Kast and the West, the North and the South, brought bere their best offeriags, and each has appropriated for its own use that ol which 1 was not previously possessed. The conduct of Great Britain and her colonies is most worthy of notice, The traditional atvitude of Great Britain and the United States was thay of an- tagousm. Great Britain wud her colouies were among first to accept the President’s invitation to unite with us, In uusurpassed. In the high represeniuuives we were honored. They took bart with interest in our ceremonies, and on every proper occasion suey received from our peo- ple the most unequivocal BVidences of our respect for their soveroign und for themseives. Never vefore Was there such hearty accor between the govern- meuts and the people Of the two countries, Witb otber nations the effect 18 the saine.

GOVERNOR HARTRANET, Goveruor Hartrantt, ex officio President of the Board of Trustees, in accepting the endowment, made refer- ence to the great task successfully accomplished by the managers of the exhibition, and then, addressing Mr, Welsh, sand :— Suz—The Board of Trustees of the university have assigned to me the agrceable duty of receiving from your hands this testimouiai to private worth which your geverosity bas turued into a public bencfaciiou, "The Just estimation of the ddelity aud ability with which you administered your trust hus been the pleasing sourcs from which this testimonial bas tuken its rise, aud your generosity and public spirit have happily giveu it | @ form in Which the memory of We Centenuial may j be most usefully perpetuated, The State and nation are vory lw indebted to you for iueredsed reputation abroad and a — juster appreciation at home, Inthe contrivuvion of your fellow citizeas which bas just been placed in your hands, you buve a substantial though partial proof of their estimation of your services, And in the gut which E accept on behall of the university we have wn additional pryof of your unselfish patriotisin, wale we do pot forget the cordial! mavber in which the original douors have appreciated your labors and seconded your wishes, Ag this testimonial ts an outgrowth of the Centen- nia) Exhibition, | cannot but think that tue torm, so opportuoeiy chosen, has been shaped by your expe- rience m that secnovl, To the admirable judgment shown ip the conduct of that enterprise you bave added the good taste of a most —f- ting and appropriate selection, The Exnibition brought the production ef the country in all departments of human activity sharply im contrast with those of other nations, In material civilization your observation (aught (hat America could teach more inom igut learn, Iu theology and metaphysics, in philosophy and polities, in Jurisprudence and mediciue, 4 number of American writers have raised an authori: tative voice, But, while we cun entertain a just pride for many original contributions to buman thought, we miust adinit tout in the tield of historical criticism and classical literature America has added little original or distinctively national. We have undoubtedly cultivated the arts and scicuces to the exclusion of polite litera. ture, We have been mofe solicitous of comfort than of Juxury, of practical attainments than ofrednement. The extragrdipary territorial and mdustrial growth of the country and the intense activity of our individual hit have left little of that elegant leisure which ean be de: ‘voted to the service of the Muses and Graces, Philos- ophy and science appeal to a select und scalous ew, but polite literature, since the advent of tue printing pross, depends upou the favor of the many, and tlour- Isbes only among a cultivated and wsthetic people. Appreciating these facts, you have given to this memo- rial @ most Utting form at a must opportune period, It will, under the care of this institution, enter as one of the forces by which time will mould the vurious ele- ments attracted or thrown to our shores inte a homo- gencous people, and the yeurs round Lo completeness our ational character, On beball of the trustees of the University of Penn- sylvania | need ‘cely assure you of the scrupulous fidelity with which your trust will be held and carried out in its tull letter and spirit.

CLOSISG ADDRESS. In a short address concluding the ceremonies Pro- fessor Stilld said :— I maybe pormitted, also, to express my great satis- faction that you and Mr. Welsh have selected object of your bounty the chair of history and English Iterature. We touch many things here, seeking by ‘wining the minds of our pupils and imparting knowl- edge to them to quality them for their special pursuit in ile, But we aim higher; we are uot satisiied that they sboald go forth trom us us mere scholurs; we sirive to form them as men, with characters complete and rounded, and with some sense of the duties and re- sporsibiliues which will devolve upon them us euti- zens, As one means to this end we teach them history and Knghsb literature, because the study of such a a bject shows us what man bas been, ar therctore, what he may be and ought to be. In wis study) we dé not forget the force of example. Wo think our work is greatly aided, Jor tustance, by our daily wssembiing in this ball, where we come inte the awful presence of our own dead heroes, those great men and noble benefactors Who look down upou us hero trom painted window and picture, And doubt not, my friends, that those who come alter us, as they gazo upon youder gtoried window whereon is portrayed the career of one great citizen, our owa founder, the illustrious Frankiin, or as they turn to. that tablet which commemorates the **zealous and unsellish labors” (or the public good of that other great citizen whom we bonor to-day, will be inspired with @ lofty ambition to follow in their footsteps, and will learn from their example that priceléss truth, that devotion to duty ts the only enduring basis of true glory, yy Rev. Dr. The benediction was then pronounced Beaale, and the exercises were over, A METHODIST CONVOCATION, THE FIFTERN EAST BIDE CHURCHES IN CON- FERENCE-—-MONETARY DIFFICULTIES—A PLAN TO ENERGIZE THE CONGREGATIONS, A corvoeation of Methodist ministers and laymen, holding official positions in the churches of the denom- jnation on tho eust side of the city, assembled yester- day in the Seventh street Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop Peck presided, and tno object of the Convoca- tion was to consider which, if any, of the Methodist churches in that section of the city are in a critical condition financiulily and numerically, and why are they so? And whether any of the positions shoula be abandoned and others united so as to torm fewer pastoral charges? And what measures ought to be adopted to utilize the connectional prine»ple of Methodism go that the strouger churches may feel a responsibility for the weaker and renaer them such | aid as is necessary? ‘The propriety of having # week of prayer in euch chureb distinct from the World’s Week of Prayer was aiso considered. And as a vital- izing element in the interests of Methodism the Bi suggested that visiting committees ot live Irom each church inight be appointed to go trom one chureh to hor and help and energize those churches. A very linportant matter was also considered touching the ap- poimtment of a Board of Church Councilors in each Presiding Elder’s district of the Conference, whose business it shail be to give advice as to church indebtedness, encumbrances ol property, location of churches apd church building. Ail those topics were | more or less discussed in the afternoon session and were then referred to committees, who reported in the evening, Euch topic was allowed to have thirty minutes’ discussion, but the first three were found so important that the greater part of the> alter- noon was given to them, While it was found that of the fifteen churcbes on the east side oue-half of them are more or less heavily in debt, and some of them ruoning behind now during these bard times, yet more were considered as in u critical condi- dition and none should be abandoned, though it might be deemed advisubie to unite two or more lo make one strong charch and then use the vacated buildings for 10 purposes. URC LOCATIONS, Very much of the difficulty that exists in the Metho- dist Episcopal Chureb arises from injudicious loca tions of buildings, and if the General Conference of 1880 shall clothe the Board of Charch Councillors with Ollivial authority this trouble at least will disappear iu’ | | | wtew years in this section, And if such Boards could | be organized throughout the entire denomina- | tion it would produce @ bealthiul growu and | increase the Church's prosperity. Deo ML. Scuader, who had the documents to fortily his posi | tions, argued in favor of breaking down the Conter- | ence line which divides this city betweea two Conter- | ences, so that St. Paul’s, which isa strong church, can- not, if it would, support a mission east of Third avenue, because that territory belongs to another Conference. The Presbyterian and Episcopal churches very generally susivin mis sions, ‘The Presbyterians have thirty churcnes | in this ity and the Methodists have thirty-nine, and yet the jormer have 6,000 more members than the hat. ter. In 1546 when Dr, Scudder was w pastor here vhe Methodist Kpiscopal Chureh had 5,000 members and churches on the east side of the city, Now there are fifteon churches and 11,000 members. Then then there were 458 members to a church; how there are but 218 on an average. Methodism has increased im New York withio thitty years about 7,500 members ‘Phe average cost of Methodism in those cays was $4 per member; 16 rans now trom $16 to $32 per member, ‘THY FORSYTH STRENT CHURCH | When the reports were presented in the evening it | appeared thut Forsyth street is the only church that 1s ju a critical condition now, owing to a building enter. prise in which it hus been engaged. But with a litte aid from sister churches it will probably tide over t present dilliculty. Seven years ago it was not only ft irom debt, but had $$,000 invested, ‘Chere wre at least 40,000 Atnericuns on the line of the churches whieh have been under discussion; so that none can be abi doned, but two of them migut be pi under ono pas- tor could the committee seo any leasible way to con- solidate them, H HARNEST WORK AMBAD, | Acouneil of fifteen, composed of one from each chureh, 18 to be appointed by the quarterly confer- ences of each chureh, wnd the ps alternoon co every ch that may bereatter be selected and to alter- | nate among the churches, For this tho filleeu churches are placed in three gro Alter a suort closing address by the.
