THE BEST PROVISION POSSIBLE MADE FOR THE
PEACH GIRLS AT ROUND ToP-THFIR EXPECTED
FINE SITUATIONS THE CREATION OF THEIR OWN
BRAIN.
A member of Hull, Matthews * Co., agents
for the proprietor of Round Top, has made some
statements to Baltimore american reporter,
denying the extreme suffering of the girls en-
ployed at Round Top.
Those girls, said he, who went from Phila-
delphia to Roundtop were unused to hard work.
AS they stated to the gentleman addressed, they
were graduates from the high schools and sup
ported themselves by needle work. The season
being dull, they intended to go to Roundtop and
to spend anumber of weeks as sort of n holiday
They thought that peach picking and parng
WAS easy work, aud that they would be pro-
vided at table with all the luxuries of the sea-
son. or course, these girls were disappointed.
He denied however, that the food given to the
employees was not tit to be eaten they have
plenty of good food, as much as can lie expected
in the country. 1t was impossible TO furnish
eacn OF the six hundred girls at the place with
fiue bedding, and the advertisements in the
newspapers stated that the girls would have to
provide themselves with blankets and coverings.
1t was not Mr. Harris's fault that the girls ex-
pected to obtain high wages for employment
about which they had not the slightest idea, and
anticipated finding all the conyeniences of city
life in peach orhcard. Those employed at
Rouadtop, said the gentleman, earnestly were
kindly and liberally treated, and none Of those
who know the business OF peach picking and
psring have ever complained of the treatment
tley received,

COMMENCEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION YESTERDAY

THE CASE MUST 90 BEFORE THE COMMONWEALTH
At Sloan church, in Delaware county, Pa,
yesterday afternoon, the preliminary oIamina-
ton Of Rev. +. 7. Kenney was begun to deter
mine whether there is sufficient grounds in the
charges alleged by Mrp. VanMeter to cause a
formal trial before the Conference. Presiding
Elder William Mc'oombs occupied the chair,
and the following ministerial committee are SIT

Hood Rev. Isaac Mast conducted the case for the
Prosecution, and Rev IL. Il. Gilroy for the De-
fence. Rsv. Jos Welsh was made Secretary.
The session was opened about two O'Clock,
with the official members Of tho church and
Mra. Van Meters entire family, with her wit
nesses were present. Several other persons,
some of them members of the church, were
present, they having gone gone IN when the n, aoors
session was dis used and voted down, but tho
doors were closed to prevent interruption. lie
porters of the press wero not excluded. Inc
charges against Mir. Kenney were divided into
two Drunkenness aud Immorality-the latter
charge subllyided into two specifications. All
the testimony for the prosecution on the nrst oi
the charges was laid before the committee, anu

sry trial will be concluded sometime to-day,
| when the charge will be either certified to the
Conference or ignored. .
Mr.. Kenney seems to have almost wholly re-
covered from his late p-ostration and is present

We are able to gather it, is strongly in his favor

who believe him guilty, while on the outsido,

universal conviction of his innocence Mrs.
yanMeter, we are told, is confident in her
ability to sustain the charges, and says
that no matter what may be the result OF the
present trial the case must como before he Com
monwealth. We give this merely as rumor.
Both sides seem willing that the facts IN the case
shall go before the public, aud no effort is made
to conceal anything. A COMMERCIAL reporter
was yesterday assured that all the testimony
would be at his disposal, and that everything Ia
connection with the case might be given the

MEETING OF ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC DIRECTORS
DOUBTS OF A RATIFICATION OF THE AGREE
MENT.
A meeting OF the directors Of the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company was held at New
York, yesterday, relative to the proposed con-
solidation with the Western Unior Co. Nothing
definite, however, is known, and doubts are
freely expressed as to the consummation OF the
project. 1t is positively asserted that the pro-
position for a consolidation of the interests of
the two companies came originally from the
representatives of the Atlantic and Pacific Com
pany, and was considered by the Western Union
Directors only after repeated requests had been
mAde by the former that they should join IN an
effort to bring the control of the companies un-
der one management.
