New YORK, November Sat bust
ness meeting Of Plymouth Church, Brook
Ign, last evening, the names OF Deacon
West and Mrs. Moulton were dropped from
the roll OF membership, on the grounds Of
continued absence from the services Of the
church. Deacon West was not present, but
Mrs. Moulton was, and accompanied BY
her counsel, Roger A. Pryor, who read
protest, signed by Mrs. Moulton, and which
closed as follows: My absence is an en-
forced one, and is caused by the crime of
adultery, committed by Henry Ward
Beecher, pastor OF this church, with one of
his parishioners, which know to be fact,
through Mr.. Beecher's own confess
sions to me, and through confessions
of Mrs. Tilton, and through conclusive
evidence of the crime from other sources.
l appear before this church in loyal ODE
dience to the summons which L have re-
ceived, and hereby declare my DISPOSE
ton and desire to discharge all the duties
devolving on me as a member, that are
consistent with my knowledge OF the adul-
terry OF the pastor, and his false swearing
with regard to it.
The New York and Brooklyn Associa-
ton OF Congregational Ministers has taken
action, it is alleged, which will certainly Ie-
vive the Beecher scandal A committee of
its members has been appointed, and in
strucied to report, after a careful examiBa-
ton OF the charges, whether the Association
ought 10 retain Mr.. Beecher in membership.
1t was said last evening that Mr.. Beecher
would Withdraw from the association rather
than submit to an investigation. Plymouth
Church has adopted resolutions providing
that Mr. Beecher and his deacons confer
with Mr.. Moody, and they be authorized,
if the Evangelist has no objections, to an
nounce the inst of series Of daily prayer
meetings for next Monday morning. In
said: I" Let us show enough Christian spirit
TO 60 with the others TO the meetings in the
tabernacle. Let us show no desire to stand
aloof from sister churches, even though they
may rot be cordial towards u.s."
The Spanish Government has forwarded
to their agents, in this city, orders to buy
up and ship at once, provisions and ammu-
milton to the amount Of 100000. The
money for the purpose was contributed in
Havana. on TIE 10Th, upon the receipt of
kilograms from Madrid TO the effect that
American intervention Was feared, and that
all that could be done to deter it was gdvis-
able.
Miss Florence Tilton sent a communica-
ton to the Plymouth Church Committee, to-
night, asking for letter of dismissal from
the church.
The Brooklyn "iair says that recruits
are being taken in that city by agents in
the service of the Spanish Government,
from among the most INDECENT of the for
eign population-Italians, Irish, Polish,
and other European na.ional;ies, at the
rate OF SO in gold and promise Of a
land grant Of fifty acres at the close OF the
war in Cuba, for the term of one year from
the date OF being mustered into the army.
