SCAHDALoUs CHARGES AGAINST THRHR
MINIsTRRs.-CorrespOnd OF the -. y.
Herald, from Erie, Pa, Sept. s. saws: The Erie
conference OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
met for its thirty-ntnth annual session in this
city on Wednesday last, Bishop Jesse L. Peck,
ID. D., presiding. About $50 members were pres-
ent. Three ministers are on trial. The Rev. x.
X. Roberts was yesterday expelled from the
ministry Of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
conduct unbecOming a Christian minister. The
Rev. h. Msrsteller had left has home for the
purpose Of attending the conference last wear
and he had been seen on the cars with a woman
OF doubtful ch aracter, ana had never been seen
or heard OF since. Although a great dea of
scandal wss connected with the above cases, the
conference kept them very quiet, not even di-
yulging what the charges were; but they must
have been OF the "Beecher sort" IN the case OF
Roberts, who was expelled. Nothing has been
done as vet in the case OF the Rev. b. Marsteller.
Some people think that the woman he was last
seen with had "seduced him" from the paths OF
virtue, and that the minister was under ber in
huence so far that he dared not again return 20
the wife of bis bosom. Stir others claim that he
seduc6d the woman, % Beecher, and left his
home with her and is stil living with her. IL
would not do for him 70 return, a. he will, no
doubt, be expelled. It ~ a sad case truly, hut IL
goes far 10 show u at ministers are not "infaili-
BILE" by any means. Another case was presented
yesterday; that OF the Rev. E. "A. PrOsser. The
charges are not fully known the conference
desires 20 keep the matter secret much as
possible; but / have heard % at thev und0ubted
