Mr.. Bragdon, a member Of the East Congregational
Church, said that the Church would not change its
confession Of faith but that its belief was
reflected in the Apostles Creed The theology of the
Church should be determined by its members by
vote He read profession Of faith Of two or three
other churches and dilated thereon. discussion
ensued, i'll which Mr. Lockwood and Rev. Mr.. Carpen
ter joined. The latter gentleman in favor of
Christ. The question Of issue was created on
the basis of the Gospel and he didn't like
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said the question before
them whether this Church walks in the faith
and in the general teachings and in harmony with
the Congregational Church. The Conference had
nothing to do to the question whether they had
articles Of faith. They may desire that they should
be moro explicit but that lies with the poty of the
individual church. Let them walk their own way.
There time when it was necessary to specify
cearlyethe articles. but this is no such time. No
receives While Plymouth Church had specific
confession of faith on the reception Of a member
they left il aside for him to IN right of COW
enant. He thought the East Church ought to be ad-
mitted.
Opposition to the admission was made by Messrs.
Virgin, Hobart and Lockwood. The question was,
they argued, whether this church in harmony
with the views doctrines and poty of the great body
OF the Congregational churches.
The East Church finally admitted by vote of
10 IA the affirmative against in the negative.
Mr.. Beecher said that he believed in the Westrnin-

THAT $50, 900 WARRANT.

Considerable speculation being yet afioat in muni-
cipal circles to who really received the 900 paid
by the city in settlement of the Rogers Jones
claims reporter of the HERALD called at Mr.. Kelly
residence last evening. but the Comptroller "had
gone to the fair" At tho fair, however, he was in
formed that the Comptroller had gone out with
gentlemen" He fortunate in seeing Corporation
Counsel Whitney at his Park avenue residence and
that gentleman said that everybody appeared to be
perfectly satsfed-certainly those representing tho
city's interests good settlement had been
made. The sum of $4,000 had been paid in two
checks on the Importers and Traders National Bank
one Of the citys repositories One check was for
$25OOO drawn to the order of 4. Jones " Co., Henry
D. Feter attorneys tho other also for $25 0O0 but
drawn to the order of William c. Rogers n Co.,
Henry u Felter attorney and indorsed by the latter.
What subsequently became Of the money, he said,
was none of the city's business.
Incidentally the reporter called the Corpora
ton Counsels attention to statement published in
an evening paper that payment of between S200000
and $500 had been entered in favor Of William NJ
Tweed son of the late 'boss" just prior to the late
election. 'Oh." said Mr.. Whitney in reply. the gem
tleman who makes that statement has heard some-
thing but he does not tell his story correctly This
money-not at all large here stated-belong-
ing the Commissioners for opening either Riverside
Park the widening of Broadway, do not remember
exactly which. and this statement must alude to the
fees awarded to the Commissioners of whom Tweed
was one
