A PASTORS PEcCADILo.

The Peoria Journal last evening makes
the following correction of its report con-
corning the misdeeds of G. F. Meredith,
at one time pastor of the NJ. E. church of
Kewanee:
The statement of the whole affair, as
published yesterday, was the only version
as then known by the church authorities
or this section. They have been sitting
the matter thoroughly, and find, like the
queen of Sheba, that the half was never
told. One of the conference pillars, who
has been devoting his time and attention
to delving for the truth on behalf of the
church, called at this office this morning
and requested that, inasmuch as the story
had been publicly told the errors be cor
rected. The profound respect he enter
tanned for the Presbyterian church would
pot permit him TO allow any discredit
thrown on that sister sect. He, therefore,
informed us that the church over which the
erring brother presided in Kansas City
was the South Methodist church, and not
q Presbyterian one as was stated yesterday.
he would have entered the southern con
ference this coming fall had he fought
valiantly instead of surrendering to the
assaults of the world, the flesh and the
devil. His church, as church, in Kansas

large quantity of baled hay. The tow
was brought by the steamer Victory and
the arrival was an event of considerable
note IN commercial circles. The whole
shipment is in as good condition as when
it started. The work of transferring the
grain carried by the South to its companion
barge, which can easily carry the entire
load, was begun yesterday and the tow
will probably start southwark this evening.
The uninitiated will naturally wonder why
the whole load was not put in one barge at
St Paul, if one could carry it SO readily.
The reason is simple: IF there was an
absolute certainty of deep water all the
way from ST. Paul to ST. Louis, that would
be the most natural thing to do. But If
the big barge, heavily laden. were to reach
a shallow place in the river, that would be
the end of that shipment, or at least the
grain would have to be taken out in guam
tity sufficient to let the barge clear the
shallow. Experienced river men express
the most absolute confidence that this ship
ment win be put down in Liverpool in
perfect order, in which event one million
more bushels will soon be on their way
from the st. Paul region to the Old World,
via the river.-st. Louis Republican.

City, are still In blissful ignorance of his
unfealty to the banner of the cross, though
one or two of its elders are in possession
of the facts.
The case will not come to q trial before the
conference as the. elders deem it unneces-
sary, for they find that the more they probe,
the more pollution follows. They are sat
isfied that all charges are true and disgust
ed that they are so. About all that will be
done, therefore, at their next session will
be to declare by vote that George Francis
Meredith is no longer a member OF the
Methods church. and that his name be
stricken firm the roll of preachers. 1t is
understood that Meredith is still in Pekin,
and attended divine service in the Metho-
dist church there last Sunday, but did not
receive any recognition of membership.
Pertaining to Merideth's reported mar
riage with Miss Westerman of Pekin, the
Kewanee Courier has the following to say:
Some of our exchanges have been lit
tie premature in announcing the marriage
of Geo. f. Meredith to Miss Westerman
daughter of Ell. p Westerman, of Pekin.
This event has not transpired, and, we are
credibly informed, will not, since the
friends of Miss Westcrman have investi-
gated Meredlth's recent double tragedy
at Rock Island. The ex-Rev has also
delivered up his credentials and Withdrawn
from the church and conference, his papers
now being in the hands of the presiding
elder of this district. He did this upon
being offered the choice of an investigation
of his character or surrendering his creden-
tials. After giving up his papers he asked
for leave of absence from his church in
Kansas City, and his flock will probably
look in vain for the return of their shep-
herd.

THE EXCURSION.

recent excursion from Geneseo to this city
says: Four cars packed full of folks form
ed the excursion to the island of Rock Is
land on Tuesday, which excursion was un-
der the auspices of the Hose Co., of this
city, A good many county people came
in, and took advantage of the excursion to
see the island, and the government works
thereon. 1t was a day well-spent for all.
The arsenal at Rock Island is the most ex
tensive establishment of the kind in Amer
lea, and it is worth day of anybody s
time to go down and look through it. The
Hose Co. took charge of the excursionists
in good shape, gave them day of fun and
feasting, and brought them back in good
state of preservation.
