Tho Kcnney investigation.

CAUSE FOR TRIAL BY THE CONFERENCE DIscov-
Erred, AND A SUSPENSION ORDERED.
The committee Of nine, who for almost two
weeks past have been investigating the character
of the charges which Mrs. YanMeter has pre-
ferred against Rev. L. T. Kenney, finished their
labors last evening, at the Madison street NJ. L.
church, Chester. The committee finds there is
sufficient foundation in the charges for an eccie-
siastcal trial and they have agreed upon a re-
port Gel e1tifying the to the Philadelphia Con-
ference. Meanwhile, MIR. Kenney is suspended
from his ministerial relations, and some other
provision will be mado for the filling of his pull
pit until the meeting of the Conference in the
spring.
1t is scarcely necessary for us to say that such
conclusion was not anticipated. 1t was great
surprise to both Mr.. Kenney and his friends, who
had confidently expected dismissal of the
charges. Pricr to the investigation, the state
ments told were so conflicting that the whole
story became invested with an air of improbabil-
ity, which, it has leaked out, the examination of
the witnesses, who were not put on oath, did
not remove. The Committee delberated on
their report for two days, and the impression ID
that as they could not agree the case was certi-
conviction of guilt but simply to relieve the
committee from its embarrassment. AS we un-
derstand it, the Committees failure to agree is
not so much in the doubt of Mr.. kenney's guilt
or innocense, as in it's Discrimination to accept
the responsibility of finally settling the case
In view of this it ia quite probable that Mr.. Ken
ney has mselfrecommended this course, vol
unfairly taking upon himself the pain of sus-
pension,

To he Editor Of tie Conlmercial:
The Thompson family will have to hunt up
some other event TO celebrate than the date,
" 1926" on the old homestead in Mill Creek.
The " first of the family IN this country" would
il living, have been 90 years old in 1926 The first
of the family in DetdUdfe arrived about the year
1888 from New Jersey. He was but 10 years of
age in 1725. Let the family wait till 1877 and
celebrate the second Centennial of the arrival OF
the family in this country, which event took
place on the 22d of 18th month, 1871, nearly five
years previous to the arrival Of William Penn i'll
the Welcome. Or perhaps, the 10th day of the
9th month, the day on which they set sailo, v
would be at more convenient season.
These dates are ''old style" Will some one
please tell me what days i'll the year 1877 should
be observed to celebrate these events reckoning
exactly 200 years according to the present calen-
dar?
Ii is an cd coincidence that having just read
your item of the 7tl, in which the Thompsons
and the Marshals were referred to,I should find
in the old record that
'In the year 1854. and on the 11th day, sew
tenth month, the said Andrew Thompson took to
''wife Isabel Marshall, daughter of Humphrey
Marshall, borne in Sllby,in Lestershire." When
the Marshalls have their celebration they can
invite their 7th and 9Th cousins among the

THE ACrIvE5 AND TRENToNs -oruER GAMES
HOME AND GENERAL NoTEs.
The Reading Actives Yesterday visited Phila-
delphia and played the Trenton Club, the third
and decisive game, winning it by score Of 0 to
9. (rhe first of tho series was won by tho Ac-
tives, Z to 3, and the second by the
Trentons, 8 to 4) Knight and Coons,
of the Shibe, recently adopted by the
Athletics, pitched and caught for the Trenton
club, the Jerseymen apparently not trusting the
curve-liners " of their own pitcher. The Read-
ing Dispacl, says, also, that Pfeffer and Will
hanson, of the Burlington club, were on the
Trenton nne Ii 80, it was a gross piece of I'M
propriety. This " stocking =" of clubs with picked
players from other clubs is a first class fraud.
1t was all the more credit to the Actives, of
course, for beating such team. Tho game was
well contested all through. Coons was injured
by foul ball early in the game, but stood mp
pluckily to the end. The Active made twelve
hits and fifteen totals, and the Trenton six hits
and seven totals. Recap, of the Athletic, was
the umpire.
A correspondent who writes to the Herald,
urging better seats for ladies', at the Quicksteps
new grounds, and better order inside the enco-
cure makes capital suggestions. That's 30 to the
letter. The grounds are well located, and crowds
of respectable people will go there if perfect or

THE MERCHANTS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE UNwIL-
IISG..ro Assist IN TIE SELECTION or CANDIDATES
BUT WILL REpuDIATE THE REGULAR DEMOCRATIC
NoMINEEs-JUDGE BOWIE DECLINEs
[From the Baltimore American, To-day.l
Yesterday gentlemen connected with tho Re-
publican and Citizens conference committees
called on some prominent members of the Mer-
chants Executive Committee and learned that
it was the sense of the Merchants Committee
that it should not take any action with refer
ence to selecting candidates for State officers. as
that was not within the scope of the reso-
luton under which they act. They would have
to repudiate, however, nearly the whole of the
Democratic legislative nominations, and many
of the Conncilmanic ones. Assurances wero
given that it would not be regarded as an act of
discourtesy if prior to the meeting of the Mer-
chants Executive Committee this evening the
committees from the Republicans and the Citi-
zens' party shonld consult upon proper nomina-
tions for State officers. Informal consultations
were accordingly held yesterday and last night.
Several gentlemen undertook to see Judge
Bowie and endeavor to induce him to forego his
expressed determination not to accept nomi.
nation for the Governorship. They went to
Rockville and had a personal interview with
Judge Bowie, whose sympathies are with the
efforts to secure political reform. At first it
believed that the Judge would accede to tie
wishes of men of all parties, but after consult
ing with his wife, he decided that from perso-
nal considerations alone he felt obliged to de-
cline the honor of nomination. The confer
ence committees met last night and had most
harmonious interchange of views, but took no
action with reference to nominating any one.

Legislative salary Grabism.

correspondent writing to tho Cambridge
Chronicle, Democratic on Legislative salary
grabism, says
1.-The Maryland Legislature is supposed to ait
ninety days. Like many other popular beliefs,
tins idea is utterly fallacous, as the following
VIII show. The General Assembly met Mt Anna
polls january 7th. and adjourned slne die April
9TH. Tho number Of days embraced within these
Two dates is precisely ninety. During this time
there were thirteen Sundays and sixteen week
days on which the Legislature was not in ses-
SION, 1T generally adjournlng over from Friday
TO tho following Monday or Tuesday, and OH one
or two occasions for longer tme. This made
tTenty-nine days OH which the members did not
attend session, leaving only sixty-one working
days.
Yet each and every one of the twenty-four
senators and elghty-six delegates, Gone hundred
and ten in al, y drew pay for each and every one
or the ninety days. How Is this for salary
Srab2 Computing tho pay OF the members at
hVe dollars per day, with three dollars per day
extra for each OF two presiding officers, the ag-
RreSate for the twenty-nne days is just SlG, IN.
" Add to this the amount paid the various
officers of both houses and the total will agproxi
mate $40, 900. And the State of Maryland has
been defrauded of that sum by her Lawmakers
Not single member offered to devote his salary
ior these twenty-nine days TO some charitable
institution or eleemosynary object. They all
l,ocketed tho steal without comment. Ii they
ul'i differ on some points their uuanimty on the
perfect proprety OF taking $50, 900 OF the peo-
ples money for services they never rendered
was complete. When it is taken into considera-
i!oli how much important and necessary legisla-
1ioh that was left undone coull have been trans-
Nc'eu III twenty-nine days tho infamy of the

Political Notes.

Isn't it rather far-fetched for the Democratic
press to make such hullaballo over their party
victory in California Outside of the State
there has not been particle of interest in the
contest there. Before the election all parties
agreed that the contest was entirely local in its
interests and the result would have no national
Significance whatever. And they wore right in
70 agreeing. NelU York Tribune.
Woman suffrage has had fair trial in
Wyoming Territory and tho result has not been
very significant III any direction. The Denver
NerS thus speaks OF the practical results :
'As to tho Objects of suffrage ON the ladies',
there are almost as many opinions az there are
people in Wyoming. The majority, however
desare Themselves unable to any change.
AS far as can 30 known, the ladies divide their
vote between parties. much as men do-rather
more, perhaps, voting for personal friends. To
sum up, tho opinion of the best informed is
that woman suffrage in Wyoming has resulted in

little more 30"
Hon, Horny NJ. Van Reed. an able lawyer,
was some time ago appointed Additional Law

it was generally agreed that they would support
Van Reed. For the Democratic nomination
there was hot contention, and it was finally So

The yiIssinger Tragedy.

REPLY TO THE CARD OF THE HUSBAND by THE
wIFE's BROTHER.
In the Reading newspapers, Fred Eden. a
brother of Mrs. Bissinger, who drowned herself
and three children, publishes card in answer to
that of the husband d resume OF which was CIV
en- in Wednesdays COMMERCIAL. Eden insists
that Bissnger neglected his wife and followed
another woman, and seems to have the facts to
back the charge.
The card asserts that Bissnger got his busi-
ness from his mother III law, and then forbid her
to visit his wife that the children had to steal
away to visit their grandmother, and to keep the
father in Ignorance of their whereabouts that
las early as 1870he gave her the blessed privilege
of accepting separate apartments from him, and
forcby gave her to understand that that was
his DESIRE" &c, &c.
Eden says he has a letter dated in April, 1870,
in which Blssinger says he has become differ
ent man, that he had returned to the woman who
had come between him and his wife all
her gifts and presents, and had received his
from her. He also insists on the charge that
Bissnger attempted to raise money enough to
buy his wife to leave him.

CYRUS J.. pERaiINd FOR GOVERNOR ON AN INFI.A-
TioN PLATFORM a DAY OF TURMOIL AND EXCITE
MENT.
The Democratic State Convention of Penneyl-
yania at Erie completed it's libors yesterday
The night before, the hard money men
carried the Committee on Resolutions by
vote of 25 to 81. An adjourn
mont was tlien had. Meantime pressure was
brought to bear on two hard money members
aud they were made to change their votes. A
platform was reported to the Convention similar
IN spirit to tho Ohio platform. After great ex-
ctement it was finally adopted. Ten ballots
were taken for tho nomination for Governor
There were nine candidates, the leading ones
being William Bigler, Cyrus L. Pershing, James
L. Barr, and Amos @. Noyes. Judge Pershng
was nominated late at night on the eleventh bal
lot.
THE FINANCIAL PLANK,
which is regarded as a worse imitation declara-
ton than that of Ohio, id as follows
Secenht: That the contraction OF the money
currency and circulating medium heretofore
contraction proposed by it with view to forced
resumption of specie payments, has already
brought disaster TO tho business of the country
and tllreatens general bankruptcy We demand
that this policy be abandoned, and that the vol
umo of money be made and kept equal to the
tenders to par III gold to bs brought about by
promoting the industries OF the people and not
by destroying thcm.
AT FIRST, IN THE COMMITTEE,
a modified resolution, meaning anything or
nothing, was adopted, by vote of 25 to "a,
this being all the hard dmoney men could get,
and that only by pleading for something to
+" harmonize tho party But two men changed
and the Ohio plank was carried 27 to 90. Frank
Hughes, of Schuylkill, presented the report.
As soon az the reading was finished, Mr.. Souden
of Lehigh obtained the floor to present minor
ity report, but it was fully five minutes before
he was allowed to speak.
THE INFLATIoNIsrs WERE BENT
upon choking him down, and were only brought
to senso of the indecency OF their effort by re-
peatod cries of "Shame !" FAIR play ~ and
% Free speech u
Mr.. Souden moved substitution OF the first
financial resolution, adopted last night by the
Committee, and made forcible speech in favor
of the old Democratic doctrine of specie circu-
lation, in a campaign fought upon State issues
In conclusion he said at you abandon the old
Democratic landmarks,if you renounce the prin-
ciples you adopted at Pittsburgh last year, and
under which you marched to victory, If you do
this for the purpose of succeeding in the cleo
ton, God forbid that you should succeed"
THE ROWLING MOB WAS AwED
for a moment by the earnestness of this t,eclara-
lion, but soon broke out into hisses and derisive
shouts, and ON motion OF Mr.. Hughes, the
amendment was laid Oil the table, 159 to TO-
