REBIQNATIOX OF REV. A. J. KERR.

WESTCHESTER LINEMAN SHOCKED WHILE

REPAIRING A WIRE.

Irving Austin, twenty-six years old, an elec-trician employed by the Westchester LightingCompany, while repairing a wire yesterday, re-ceived nearly a thous.-ind volts of electricitythrough his body. Austin was standing on aplatform handling a live wire when he acci-dentally fell and struck a car track, completingthe circuit. Before he could let go of the wirethe currejit passed entirely through his body.His lingers were burned nearly to a crisp andhe whs unconscious for some time.

RECEIVED 1.000 TOLTS-LTTED.

In1567 the Conservatives feared he would be

elected moderator, and, In order to prevent

that, they contrived to have him chosen a fra-

:ternal delegate to the Presbyterians of Amer-ica, a purely ornamental office. But, curiouslyenough, his visit to this country resulted Inhisreceiving a unanimous call to the Fifth AvenuePresbyterian Church, of this city, and so open-ing up to him a field of honor and usefulnessIncomparably greater than that which he occu-pied in Dublin. Under his faithful pastorate

the church became the greatest and most fa-mous congregation of Presbyterians in me lea,

'and for many years he ranke'l easily among the

best known and influential clergymen of the

New World. His fame, Indeed, travelled back

to Europe, and the visitor from the Old Worldwas pretty sure to Include John Hall Inhis listof great personages to be seen and heard.

Amid ail the honors that came to him he bore

himself with his oldtime. simplicity and mod-esty. Joined to a noble dignity that, commandedthe respect even of. strangers. He was mostsuccessful as a pastor, and physicians who

chafed at the presence of most ministers In asickroom always welcomed Dr. Hall. Though

not without power as a preacher, his didacticand expository style did not please some people.Through no fault of his own, also, the con-troversies over the Bible that arose in the Pres-byterian Church a few years ago tended to

diminish his influence, for he consistently adopt-

ed the attitude of a peacemaker, and so pleased

neither party. Then came the unfortunateWarszawiak controversy, which embittered thelast years of his life, and raised against him aparty of critics in his own church. He resigned

the pastorate in MBS, having been practically

forced to take the step. The resignation pre-cipitated a bitter controversy in the church,

and the pastor was cheered by many tributesof affection frcm the congregation. Not longafterward, heartsick and broken, he died inIreland on his way to his old home, at Bally-

frorman. The Presbyterian' Church has pro-

duced greater scholars and preachers than JohnHall, but none who better typified in his daily

iifa the ideal of a faithful Chri3tian pastor.

Inhis comments in after years on this old timeservice, the conrervative temper of Dr. Hall isclearly disclosed. "Much is paid nowadaysabout making th* churches attractive to theyoung, and th*effort oft*»n leads in the directionof competition with popular Institutions thatthrive by the number of tickets they can cell.The writer may be mistaken, but all hi? recol-lections would indicate that to m&kff Urn '"hurchand its service Eolemn, tender, true to the factsof life, real, (sincere ... 1b the best way toir.ake it revered and beloved by those who havenot yet been demoralized by "spectacles" andpalpable Insincerities.

"

Young Hall's life at college in Belfast was Inkeeping with his boyhood promise. He wasbrought into personal contact with many of therevered leaders of Presbyteriani6m of that day.He n!so g:adual!y came into the consciousnessthat there was another sl<le to religion than therapt introspection side So strongly emphasised

!\u25a0 his own family. There was also the Churchn.iiitant. a sturdy and unbending Presbyterian-ism that was In ceaseless conflict alike withBomaaiSßß and High Anglicanism. Presbytf-riar.lsm was also trcubled with internal questionsrr, which Dr. Hall, during the whole of hiscareer in Ireland, rsngrd himself on the pro-gressive side. It v.as only when more funda-mental questions of Biblical interpretation cameup in more recent years in this country thatDr. Hall felt impelled to adopt a conservativeattitude. In his earlier life in Ireland socialdrinking was common among Christians, butyouns Hall early began to oppose the habit, andfinallybecame a total abstainer. He also adopt-ed the "heresy" of anti-slavery, as the olderorthodox brethren called it, and some yearslater, when he was settled at Mary's Abbey,Dublin, he shocked many old fashioned Presby-terians by espousing disestablishment and un-Fectarian education. For so doing, as well asfor his personal kindness and courtesy, Dr. Hallgained the friendship of many Roman Catholics,though they knew him to be an unswerving op-

ponent of their beliefs.

After ordination Mr. Hail spent some time asa missionary in Oonnaught until in 18152 he waschosen pastor of tht First, Church of Armagh.After a fruitful ministry of six years there hevras called to be an associate pastor of Mary'sAbbey. Dublin, and during his life in Dublinhe developed to the full his well balanced pow-ers as a Christian minister. He held that IrishPresbyterianistn should cut loose from the Toryparty, with the result that he was attacked inturn by the partisans of both parties, and waseven accused of working with the "Papists,"

than which no more dreadful accusation couldbe made against a Presbyterian minister in theNorth of Ireland. The attacks proved to beharmless, however, and "the common people

heard him gladly."

JOHN HALL: PASTOR AND PREACHER. ABiography by His Son. Thomas C. Hall. Octavo,pp. 341. Fleming H. Revr-U Company.

In simple and engaging style Professor Halltells the story of his honored father's life andcareer, and though the volume everywhere bearsthe imprint of filial love it is not marred byoverpraise or indiscreet eulogy. Inbringing outthe Integrity, simplicity, tenderness and abso-lute moral sincerity of Dr. Hall the biographerundoubtedly strikes the true note of his life.

John Hall was the eldest son of William Halland Rachel McGowan, and was born on July 31,]*!.*.\u2666 For six generations the family had main-tained possession of Ballygorman. CountyArmagh, Ireland simple, sturdy. God-fearingPresbyterian folk, originally of Scottish extrac-tion. In spit- of narrow means. William Hallmanaged to give hi* children a good education,md Dr.Hall was early sent to a village school,where naturally the three Rs predominated,though, as everywhere in fiercely ProtestantUlster, a sort of sturdy religious atmosphereseemed to pervade even reading, writing andarithmetic. The family life of the lad was de-vc d of all luxury. "The daily fare was of thesimplest character, the products of the farmbeing almost holly relied upon to supply thetable Fresh meat was not freely eaten. Inthe evening those who had worked in the fieldsgathered about the turf fire in the kitchen, andover it hung a huge pot of oatmeal, boiled withthe buttermilk from the dairy. Even the cloth-ln«r was largely homemade, and constructedwith a view rather to endurance than fashion,let for all this, enforced simplicity was not feltas poverty. Nowhere in the world can therebe found a prouder independence than amon-the pelf-pustaining Ulster farmers."

Even as a child John Hall's temperament waswrious and inclined to religion.

Toward eventide the parent would take histMest son by thevhand, and with him would go

It was pressly stipulatedthat, no larger sum than J." should be contributed byany depositor. The committee charged with theselection of the testimonial consisted of Michael J.) -inorid. Edward H. Cole and Frederic Swift.

The p 'h of the resolutions Is contained In the fol-lowingextract:

We speak for the depositors of this bank, hut atthe same time deem It not outside our province toassume to speak for nil depositors In this broadlar.<i of ours, and to say that to you is due thisstrong and universal approval of your meritoriousservices services whereby and through which themoral responsibility and accountability of the otll-ccrn and directors Of all our financial institutionshave r>-<>n placed upon a hi.her plane than hereto-fore.

COMMISSIONER OF JURORS LAW DECLARED

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Word was received in Brooklyn last night thatth*» Appellate Division of. the- Supreme Court,III<IDepartment, sirtine in Albany, had handeddown a unanimous opinion favoring Commis-sioner of Jurors William E. Melody, and de-claring that the law under which Jacob Bren-ner was appointed as his successor Is unconsti-tutional. All points are decided by the court InMelody's favor. The Elßbers: bill, under whichMr. Brenner was appointed, terminated Mr.Melody's term of office and put the power ofappointing his successor into th«" hnnds of theJustices of the lid Department of the Appellate,Division of the Supreme Court.

Robert F. Elder, attacking the '-onptltu-

tionality of the law, said that th*- legislaturehad no right to pas? a law putting more dutiesinto th» .hand? of the justices. Mr. Brenner, af-ter his appointment, tried to secure possessionof the office. This was refused him, and he gotan order of the court compelling CommissionerMelody to turn over the office to him. Then hetried to get an order punishing Mr. Melody forcontempt of court in refusing to obey the previ-ous order. This was not granted.

Henry Winthrop Gray, who was legislated outof the office of Special Commissioner of JurorsIn New- York County by the Elsberg act, wasseen last night by a Tribune reporter. He saidthat he had not received official notice of thedecision of the court, and was disinclined to

discuss the subject.
