It is attached to the bird's leg. Formerly the message was contained in a quill attached to one of the tail feathers of the bird, and often the quill and message were lost. By the new invention there is no danger of losing the message, and a much larger message can be sent in the aluminum tube than in the quill. Professor Marion's device has met with the approval of the government and its use has been adopted. Farmers coming to Annapolis today report a light frost the first this year.
It was not heavy enough to do any great harm to tobacco and other crops. TEMPERANCE CAUSE. Election of Officers of the Maryland Christian Union. Special Di-patch to the Baltimore Sun. Frederick Citt, Sept, 24.

One Man Killed and Two Injured-Thrilling: Story of the Mishap. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Cumberland. Sept. 24. Lattimer Frazier.
one of the oldest passenger engine-men in the Baltimore and Ohio service, was brought to his home in Cumberland tonight, having been severely scalded on the hands, arms and legs by escaping steam from his encine drawing Baltimore and Ohio express train No. 47. which collided with a helper engine at Rowlesburg, W. at noon today while running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Mr.
Frazier has been an eogineman thirty-one years and went through the war as a railroader, but this was his first mishap. Though Buffering excruciating pain be was able to tell how the wreck occurred. He said: "A freight helper was baoking down the mountain on the north track to a cross switch to get on the track for east-bound trains, but before reaching the switch my train. No. 47, came along.
The engineer of the helper says he forgot entirely that 47 was running. He quickly reversed hia engine after seeing the danger and jumped with his fireman Just before the collision, both escaping Injury. My engine, which was No. 1303," continued Frazier, "butted into the tender of the helper, which was landed clear on top of the engine. I jumped through the middle window after freeing myself from the reverse bar, which had caught me, fifteen reet to the ground below.
The boiler had been punctured, and while lying on the ground I was being fairly cooked by the 6team until removed. My fireman, Daniel W. Mankins, of Tunnelton, also jumped. He was scalded on the arm3 and legs and back. "The saddest part is that a life was lost while trying to save us.
Mr. John J. Hunter, a freight engineer, whom 1 have known for years, saw the danger of a collision while standing along the track at Rowlesburg. which was his home, and ran to warn the Republican Convention for the Third District. JUDGE LEWIS THE NOMINEE.
One of the Most Popular Members of the Richmond Bar. It Is Expected He Will Keceive the Support of the Sound-Money Democrats The Discourtesy to Gov. O'Ferrall and Gen. Itnokner It Is Likely to React Disastrously on the Sllverltes The Governor Dropped from the List of Members of the Old Dominion Club. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Richmond.
Sept. 24. The republican convention of this district today, at Han over Court House, nominated ex-Judge Lansford L. Lewis for Congress. This gentleman had no opposition, and was chosen by acclamation.
The only feature of special interest was the bitter fight between the Lamb and Allen-Waddill faction over two sets of delegates from Richmond. Judge Lewis Is one of the best known and one of tho ablest members of that party in this State. Mr. Lewis Is a half brother of the late United States Senator John F. Lewis, who was elected to the upper branch of Congress from Virginia by the first Legislature chosen after this State was given representation after the reconstruction days.
Mr. Lewis was made a member of the Supreme Court by the readjuster Legislature elected In 1881. He was chosen to tho presidency by that tribunal, a position which he filled during the twelve years of the tenure of office of its members. Before going on the bench Mr. Lewis had been the United States district attorney for this district.
His brother. Mr. D. Sheffey Lewis, of Rockingham, also held a similar position for the western district of this State. The Lewises are among the most influen tial republicans In Virginia.
They associated themselves with that party immediately after the close of the war and remained steadfast In their loyalty to its prinoiples throughout all of the many vicissitudes and varying fortunes of the days following the close of the war. The republican nominee of today's convention is one of the most popular members of the bar of this city. It Is expected that he will receive tho support of all the bolting gold democrats in this district who refuse to follow the leadership of Mr. Bryan and the other advocates of the Chicago platform. Judge Tewis took an active part In the gubernr rial campaign of 1881 in behalf of Colonel Jameron, the readjuster nominee.
As a result of a speech Mr. Lewis maJe at a meeting in Petersburg in that contest Gen. Peyton Wise sent him a challenge to fight a duel, which was promptly accepted. A meeting was arranged to take place between these gentlemen In Fauquier county. In this Slate.
Their differences were, however. amicably adjusted, and the hostile meeting did not take plaoe. The political disabilities incurred by them under the anti-dueling act were subsequently removed by the Legislature. The friends of State Chairman Lamb wero completely overwhelmed by the Waddill- Allen faction. As a result of this defeat Al derman John Mitchell, of this city, one of the Lamb leaders, bolted the convention and carried a few colored followers with him.
This little Richmond contingent went on the outside of the convention hall and took action. These bolters nominated for presidential elector of this district Col. James Lyons, the chief of Governor O'Ferrall's staff and the gentleman who recently declared his pur pose to support McKlnley. The Mitchell fac tion then indorsed Judge Lewis for Congress. Mitchell is the editor of the Planet, the organ here of the colored people.
He is the same man who figured so conspicuously In intro ducing Teamob, the colored member of the Massachusetts Legislature, into the Governor's house without the knowledge of that gentleman that his visitor was a negro. Capt. John Lamb, of Henrico county, the democratic nominee, is also a popular man and particularly strong in the rural districts. He is a brother of Judge James C. Lamb, of this city.
The discourtesy shown Governor O'Ferrall and General Buckner at the big sound-money meeting last night by the free-silver men meets with disapproval here on all sides. It fails even to find defenders among the most conspicuous democratic managers. These deprecate the behavior of the silver men last ni ot and express the deepest regret that it should bave occurred. The sound-money leaders claim that the incident caused some of the most prominent sliver men In the city to express their determination to cut loose from that side. While the Governor was making bis splendid defense of his democracy last night at the Academy of Music, the Old Dominion Club of this city was engaged in adopting resolutions dropping him from its list of honorary members.
This course was taken because of the Governor's refusal to support the Chicago nominees. Vice-Presidential Candidate Buckner remained over here todav. He was called upon by a large number of the most influential democrats in the city, who congratulated him on the fine meeting of last night. Riohmond is to bave a new registration of voters. The old books will be thrown away.
They are overcrowded with names and are in a horrible condition. The registration will take place from October 5 to 9, inclusive. A determined oppositiou was made by the city democratic committee to a new registration at this time, but the electoral board heid that they couid not afford to act from a partisan standpoint. Mr. Mark Davis, whose fatal injuries at Leavenworth, yesterday, as announced in the press aispatohes, is well known here.
Mr. Davis is a brother-in-law of Hon. Anthony M. Keilly, a member of tbo International Court of Appeals at Alexandria, Egypt. Mr.
Davis was the owuer of the Davis House, where Cluverius, the murderer of Lillian Madison, stopped on the night he took that young girl's life. The place was well known as the place in which Mabone held all of his Important political meetings during readjuster days. Mr. Davis has a brother here aud other relatives' in Petersburg. The American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which has been in session here for several days past, adjourns this evening.
Their next meeting is to take place at Cataract House, Niagara. A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN. A Farmer Tied and llobbed, and a Woman Made to Hand Over Her Little Savings. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 LjfNCHBURG, Sept, 24. A bold highway robbery occurred in Amherst county just across the river from this city, about 1.30 o'clock this morning, and was followed shortly afterward by another outrageous robbery of a different character.
Mr. W. S. Taylor, an Amherst farmer, accompanied by his wife, was on his way to Lynchburg with a lot of produce for sale. They were delayed on the road and decided to camp for the night.
While the couple were sleeping an unknown white man, who was masked, struck Mr. Taylor on the bead and when he attempted to rise struck him down again. The desperado then tied Mr. Taylor's hands behind his? back and robbed him of all the money he had. After securing the money, the robber ordered the couple to walk along the road In front of him, warning thorn that if they made any outcry or attempted to run be would shoot them.
They stopped in front of Mrs. Poore's home. The frightened couple were forced to knock on the door, and when it was opened by Mrs. Poore the robber knocked it further open, marched his victims in and closed the door. He then pointed the revolver at Mrs.
Poore and made her get down on tier knees and tell him where her money was concealed. She bad. j20 saved up toward going to pay for tier house aud this the robber secured. She had commenced to scream from the time the roober entered and kept it up until the neighborhood was alarmed. Some colored neighbors were the first to arrive, but tbey were too late, the desperado having made bis escape.

wife of John Founder of Leeds, Cecil county, was feloniously assaulted on the Feeder road, a secluded spot which leads ron the Cowan-town road into Baldwin's Mills, two and a haU miles from Elkton, this afternoon about a30 o'clock. James Anderson and Harry Seth. who reside at Banks, found the woma in an unconscious condition in a clump of bushes aside from the road. Her face was covered with blood and there was every indication that an assault had taken place. She was removed to the home of her brother.
Jacob Wilson, and the men who discovered her came to Elkton for a physician and notified State's Attorney Wm. S. Evans. They de-scr bed the assailant as a colored man, rather tall, with heavy mustache. The news soon spread of the crime, and as the negro was traced as far as Elkton a posse was formed, who began scouring the immediate vicinity in search of blm.
Wm. Warren, watchman at the North street crossing, stated that after 4 o'clock a negro answer. Inir the description given asked hlca the road to Chesapeake City. Constable W. C.
Crow and Ciinton Mackey set out for Chesapeake Cl'y in search of the negro. At a late hour tonight a telephone message from Chesapeake City was received that a man answering the description had been arrested, and Sheriff II. H. Mackey at once left for his prisoner. In the meantime a negro named Richard Everts was arrested, but will be released.
He was arrested on a wood boat at the wharf in Elkton. Dr. John W. Cooper, upon getting word of theassault.lert for he found the lady still suffering trom the shock. Her face was swollen and in places the flesh was torn off.
Her left eye was blackened, while her right eye was closed. The fears that she may lose her sight. Mrs. Foundes wore spectacles and It is thought that some of the glass which was broken had penetrated her eye. To Dr.
Cooper she made a statement to the following effect: She had been visiting her mother at Banks and was on her way home from Elkton. where she had been to make some purchases. When out of Elkton a short distance she noticed a colored man. As she passed he eyed her and this caused her to become frightened. He walked fast, however, and was soon out of sight.
She next saw him as she entered the Feeder road. He was then back of her, having laid in wait lor her. As he approached her he said 'Don't speak and male at her. She tried to defend herself with an umbrella, but don't remember anything more. The negro at that time Struck her a violent blow with his fist la the face.
She described her assailant and the officers appear to think they have the right man. Mrs. Foundes is a good-looking woman, with lark hair and eyes, about medium height. She is married and has one child. The ass.iult created intense excitement in Elkton and the streets were lined this evening with people talking over the affair.
State's Attorney W. S. Evan3 cautioned the authorities against riving out the news of the arrest, as he feared it would lead to lynching. Every precaution will be taken with the prisoner. Sheriff Mackey h3s arrived at the jail with Taylor Kowlett, a colored man, or twenty-two Tears, who gives Mehrion Station, as Ms residence.
The authorities used every precaution to keep the fact hidden from the excited people, but was unable to do so, as fully 200 people had assembled at the Jail and were eager to get a glimpse of the supposed fiend. Sheriff Mackey and State's Attorney Evans questioned the prisoner closely, but are of the opinion that the prisoner arrested fit Chesapeake City is not the man wanted. CECIL GRAND JURY. Report on Llqaor-Law Violations and Race-Track Garablinj. 'Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Elktox.
Sept. 24. The grand jury of Cecil county made their final report to the Circuit Court this afternoon. Judges Russum and Wickes presiding. The report says "that the constables in the several districts report all things In keeping with law and order and nothing contrary to the peace and quietness cf the community.
It may be suggested that this class of officers either fail in their duty to report violations of the law. or the county Is enjoying a condition of perfection seldom enjoved in a community and remarkable to the last degree. The Jury feels Inclined to call the attention of the court to two evils which are a disgrace to the county and seem to be on i be increase. The sale of a miserable stuff called ambrosia within the county limits we are oonvlnced is a very low grade of beer, and the fact that many who are en-paged in its sale have gone awav beyond the limits of the county about the time the grand jury convened seems to be good evidence that they felt their vocation was a violation of the law. The system of gambling on the several race tracks, established here for that purpose by a certain corporation, where the good name of Cecil county is brought into dire disgrace and a dangerous standard of morals raised before the youth cf our county, all under the questionable authority of the law, demands the positive condemnation of all our citizens." State's Attorney W.
s. Evans had before the grand jury today a number of witnesses cn the race-track matter and the jury broutiht in three true bills against the bookmakerstwo against Thomas Dycer and one against William Stonehouse. The charge is that on September 12 last the Eaid William Stouehouse and Thomas Dycer did unlawfully gamble and make books and pools on the result of a running race of horses ou the grounds of the Keystone Racing Association of Cecil County. The State's attorney proposes to push the matter, and will, in all probability, make a test case of the present one to decide whether or not it Is, under the act passed in 1391. lawful to sell pools and make books on races run on different tracks for thirty days at a time the year Around.
This Indictment of the "book makers" of Iron Hill was somewhat of a sensation, as many believed that the charge delivered by Judge Stump on Monday last would not result in the gamblers being Indicted. Arrest or the bookmakers will follow and their trial will come off at this term of court. The case of the administrators of James A. Davis against the Jacob Tome Institute is Btill oa trial. Among the visitors to the court today were Stephenson A.
Williams, Mr.Van Bibber and Mr. McNabb.of Harford county; Hope H. Carroll, or Cbestertown; James J. Archer, of Belair; ex-State Senator James P. Gorter, of Baltimore.
Last night the democrats ot the third district of Cecil county held a large meeting in Odd-Fellows' Hall. Ex-Senator John S. Wirt presided. The speakers were William Ogden, of Baltimore city, and Mortimer Whitehead, cf New Jersey. Prof, and Mrs.
George A. Steele have gone to Old Point Comfort, from whence they will go to Bostou by boat. Mr. Steele will return In time to take charge of the new high school, about the middle of October. The Governor has decided that he will take tip for final bearing the case of School Com.

"Europe Will Not Make War," the Aged Statesman Says, "to Insure the Continuance of Massacres More Terrible Any Kver Recorded in the Dismal. Deplorable History of Unman Crime." LtVERPOOL, Sept. 21. Enthusiastio crowds of people assembled at an early hour this morning In the vicinity of Hengter's Circus, all anxious to push into tho building and bear tbo eagerly anticipated address which tbe Right Hon. William E.
Gladstone had announced his willingness to make before the meeting called by tho Reform Club to protest against the recent massacres of Armenians at Constantinople aud elsewhere in Turkey. The doors of the circus building were opened for tho admission of the audience at lu o'clock, and at 11 the vast auditorium was packed to Its utmost capacity. Mr. Gladstone. Mrs.
Gladstoue, Mr. Herbert Gladstone and other raembors of tho family arrivod in (his city at noon and were welcomed at the railroad station byt crowd ot about 2,000 people, who greeted the veteran statesman with hearty cheers as he and falsi family were recognized. At the entrance of Hengler's clrous Mr. Gladstone was received by a long and wildly enthusiastic outburst of applause upon the part ot the crowds who were unable to obtain admittance, and when the great liberal leader entered the auditorium there was a roar of applause which could have been heard a mile away. Tbo cheering was continued for a long time after Mr.
Gladstone stenped briskly on tho platform at 12.30 P. and bowed gravely la acknowledgment of the enthusiastio welcome accorded hlra. The Earl of Derby, who presided, was accompanied by the Countess of Derby, and upon the platform were many persons of distinction in political, commercial and sooial life. After the usual formalities of opening such a meeting had been concluded, the first resolution, proposed by a conservative and seconded by a liberal, was put. It read: "That this meeting desires to express its indignation at and abhorrence of the cruel treatment to which tbo Armenians are being subjected by their Turkish rulers and of the massacres which have recently occurred at Constantinople, which are a disgrace to the civilization of the nineteenth century." The resolution was adopted by acclamation.
When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak bo looked well and hearty for a man of his years or hard work. He will be eighty-seven years old December 29. He bowed repeatedly In response to tbe outbursts of clieorinr which greeted him. When he was able to make himself beard Mr.
Gladstone, after a few preliminary remarks, moved the following resolution, which was received with thunders of applause, during which every person present was upon his or her feet wildly waving bats, handkerchiefs, sticks or umbrellas: "That this meeting trusts that her Majesty'! mtnisters, realizing to the fullest extent the terrible condition in whioh their fellow-Christians are placed, will do everything possible to obtain for them full security and protection; and this meeting assures her Majesty's miuisters that tbey may rely upon the cordial support of the citizens of Liverpool in whatever s'eps they may feel it necessary to take for that purpose." When the applause had been calmed down by the outstretched hand of the aged statesman, Mr. Gladstone declared bis Rdheslon to the principles contained in the resolutions, and said he oame there not claiming any authority except that of a citizen of Liverpool. But. he added, tbe national platform upon which the meeting is based gave greater authority for sentiments universally entertained throughout the length and breadth of the land, and urxed that in this matter party sympathies should be renounced. Continuing, Mr.
Gladstone said: "I entertain the lively hope and strong belief that the present deplorable situation is not due to the act or default of the government of this great country." Cries of "OhP and cheers.l "The preseut movement," ho added, "Is based on the broad grounds of humanity and is not directed against the Mohammedans, but against tho Turkish officials, evidence of whose barbarities rests in credible ollicial reports. "Now, as in 1S70, to the guilt of ruassacra Is added the impudence or denial, which will continue just as long as Europe is conteut to listen." Mr. Gladstone then expressed the opinion that the purposo or the gathering was defensive and prospective, saying that no one could hold out the hope that the massacres were ended, although ho ventured to anticipate that the words spoken at the meeting would find their way to the palace at Constantinople. (Loud ohecrs. Mr.
Gladstone then said: "I doubt if it is an exaggeration to say that it was In tho Sultan's palace aud there only that the Inspiration has been supplied and tho policy" devised of the whole series of massacres. When the Sultan carries massacre into bit own capital under tho eyes of the ambassadors be appears to have gained tha very acme of what it is possible for him to do." "But." tho speaker further said, "tbe weakness of diplomacy, I trust. Is about to be strengthened by the echo ot this nation's voice." Great ctieerlng.l Mr. Gladstone then alluded to tho supine-ne-s ct tho ambassadors of tho powers at Constantinople and said: "The concert of Europe is an august and uselul instrument, but it has not usually succeeded in dealing with the Eastern question, which has arrived at a period when it is necessary to strengthen the bun Is or the gov-ernment by an expression of national opinion. I believe that tho continued presence of the ambassadors at Constantinople has operated as a distinct countenance to tho Sultan, who Is thus their recognized allr.
"But, whilo urging tho governmont to aot, it does noc follow that even for the sake of the great object in view Great Britain should transplant Europe into a state or war. On the other hand, however, I dony that England must abandon her own right to Independent judgment and allow horsolt to bo domineered by the other powers." Cheers. "We have a just title to threaten Turkey with ooerclon. but that does not in itself mean war, and I think that the first sterJ should be tbe recall of our ambassador, Cheers. And it should be followed by tha dismissal of the Turkish ambassador from London.
Such a course is trequent and would not give the right of complaint to any. body. When diplomatio rotations are suspended England inform tbe Sultan that she would consider tho means of enforcing her just and humane demands. Ido not believe that Europe will make war to ensure the continuance of massacres more terrible than ever recorded in the dismal, deplorable history ot human orlme." TLoud cheering. Mr.
Gladstone, who spoke for about twenty minutes, was In good voice and did not seem fatigued wheu he bad finished. Before tbo arrival of the Gladstone party and the distinguished guests in tho auditorium of Hon-lcr's Circus today, there was a spontaneous outburst of patriotism, everybody preseut standing bareheaded and joiniug in singing "God Save the Queen." Copies of the resolutions adopted will be forwarded to the cabinet ministers. Kitrthquake In Hawaii, Honolulu.

Despondency Prevails at Democratic Headquarters, Although Some of the Faithful Are Still Making Claims-Senator Faulkner's Explanation of Air. Ilryan's Vote for Weaver in 1892 Preparations for the Convention of Silver Clubs in St, Louis Reckless Charges of Intimidation. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington. Sept. 24.
It is claimed at democratic headquarters here that the reception given to Mr. Bryan in Brooklyn last night will have some effect iu straightening out the tangle in the affairs of "the democracy of New York on account ot the attitude assumed by Mr. Thacher. Senator Faulkner professes to believe that the Brooklyn demonstration Indicates organized labor is on the side of the silver candidates. This has been the Senator's contention for some time, but his sources of information are not known and there Is every reason to question their reliability.
It Is 60 easily demonstrated that the laboring classes of the country will be the first to suffer from a depreciated currency that the members of the republican congressional campaign committee feel equally as confident the great mass of the labor vote will be cast tor McKlnley. Mr. Gorman's Peculiar Attitude. Senator Gorman was in Washington most of the day and spent much of his time with Senator Faulkner. The Senator is generally allowing it to be known that while be is supporting the Bryan and Sewall ticket and will give the national committee the benefit of his advice when asked to do so, he Is not taking an active part in the campaign.
He is content to let matters adjust themselves and will abide by the consequences. The Senator evidently feels no enthusiasm over the prospects of free coinage, and probably-does not wish to identify himself with the cause any more than be has done. Although ready at ail times to compromise with the silver men during the last silver fight in the Senate, the Maryland Senator has been consistently opposed to free coinage until the present time. It is. therefore, probable that neither he nor Senator Faulkner was able to extract much comfort during their conference from the prospect which confronts them.
They must either accept free silver or defeat, and neither alternative is particularly pleasant to contemplate by men who have heretofore been professed believers in bimetallism only by international agreement. Mr. Bryan's Vote for Weaver. Comment having been made upon the fact that Mr. Bryan supported General Weaver for the presidency in 1892, Senator Faulkner, after consultation with Senator Gorman today, gave out the following statement on the subject: "I have submitted the Inquiry concerning Mr.
Bryan's vote for Weaver in 1892 to Senator Gorman, who was a member of the democratic campaign committee in that year. He says that the national committee, of which Mr. Wm. F. Harrity was chairman, with Mr.
Don M. Dickinson, chairman of the campaign committee, determined to request all the democrats in Nebraska and the States west thereof to unite with the Weaver people in carrying these States, so as to prevent Harrison from receiving electoral vote3 iu Nebraska, Idaho. Montana. Wyoming, Oregon, Nevada and California, and as a rule the democrats followed the request of the democratic national committee. "In addition to this the New York World made an appeal for a special subscription to carry out the plan of campaign determined on by the democratic committee.
Therefore, whatever Mr. Bryan or any ther democrat did in the support of Weaver was at the request of the national democratic committee." In the opinion of1 the silver leaders this disposes of the charge that Mr. Bryan has ever been anything but a consistent demo crat. In this connection, however, they for- I get that the principal charge against Mr. Bryan is not that be was a populist at any former period of his career, but that he is now advocating a doctrine which is popu-listic and not democratic, and that the platform of the party, of which he Is the leader, contains features which democrats who do not want to be populists must bitterly oppose.
Reckless Charges. The cry Is generally being raised hy the managers of the silver campaign that the corporations throughout the country are endeavoring to intimidate their employes into voting for sound money. This would, under ordinary circ*mstances, sound very much like cn attempt to pave the way for an extended explanation of the defeat of the silver movement in November, wer6 it not known to be a part of the general scheme to inflate the minds of the working classes with the idea that they are being imposed upon. It has been charged that strenuous efforts have been made in Baltimore to prevent the registration of working men, while Secretary Diffenderfer, of the silver committee, returned from Philadelphia today with information that the corporations of that and other cities are forcing their men to join republican clubs and to promise to vote for McKlnley. To some extent It begins to look as if the sliver campaign was reaching tho hysterical stage and the managers of the fight are permitting their fancies to get the better of them.
The Silver "Rainbow Chasers." Hon. Jeff. Chandler, who has just returned from New York, declares the muddle in democratic politics there will help the silver cause elsewhere. Senator Tillman regards the prospects of carrying New Jersey for silver as excellent, while Mr. Diffenderrer declares with great positlveness that Ohio will be carried by Bryan and Sewall.
These are but a few of the extravagant predictions and declarations made by the men who are trying bard to find a bright side to their present hopless campaign. Representative Tucker, of Virginia, arrived in Washington today and called at democratic headquarters. Mr. Tucker is a sound-money democrat, but is supporting the Bryan and Setvall ticket. He believes the ticket will receive a majority in Virginia, and that a democrat will be elected from the tenth district, which he now represents.
Mr. Tucker was one of the strongest advocates of sound money on the democratic side of the House during the last session, and was beaten for renomlnation because of bis views upon the money question. He does not now believe In free coinage. The St, Club Convention. In order to complete arrangements for the convention of democratic aod silver clubs at St.

Dederer to preach because, they claimed, he was not au ordained minister, bijt the congregation cling to Mr. Dederer, he having made a good impression on the membership, and decided to retain him. no matter what objections might be offered. Mr. Dederer claimed that the trouble was the outcome of spitefulness on the part of another minister In the classis to whose congregation he had preached, making such a favorable impression that the pastor grew jealous.
Several of the leading officials of the church received information that Mr. Dederer had never been ordained, and wrote to President Wienaud accordingly.
