"a PUBLIC APOLOGY"
Rev. DR.. Wilson Must Make
It to DR.. McAnnally.
The Controversy on the Sin Of
Dancing Leads to Serious Re-

Before the Conference
Couples the
Cause.

81 LOUIS tfohlCac
An interview with several of the leading
divines of the city. in which they set forth
their views on the sin of dancing, was
published in the Chronicle June 9th. Rev
J. G. Wilson, presiding elder of the dis.
trici, expressed himself freely, and when
the Cupples trouble was preached he made
several remarks on the actions OF Rev Dr.
d. r. McAnally, OF the Christian AdvO.
cate, and Mr. Logan Cameron, at which
these gentlemen took ofense and conclud-
ed that Rev. Dr. Wilson would have either
TO retract his statement or stand up and
I've renovated by church proceedings. To
this end DR.. McAnally was at the confer
ence in Hematite, Mo-, yesterday, where he
will bring his grievances before that body,
and, as is customary,
A COMMITTEE OF THREE MINISTERS
will he appointed to take the matter in
hand and examine the papers. If no sat
isfactory result can be reached the matter
will be taken up by church trial.
DR.. McAnaliy felt indignant, thinking
that DR. Wilson. by his remarks. had done
him injury in the church, and he had SET
himself to have the matter settled at all
hazards. Accordingly he notified DIR.
Wilson that he had done him an injury
and demanded settlement at once. Ii
they could not arrive at satisfactory
settlement, he told him, then the matter
would be placed where it could be settled.
DIR. Wilson communicated with MIR. Nc
Anally and partially denied some of the
published statements.
A Chronicle reporter called on DR.. Will
son. and when the question was put as to
the trouble he refused to answer, referring
the reporter to Mr.. McAnally, to whom he
said ne had communicated and denied
some of the statements i'm the interview ;
but he said that the substance or the whole
was correct as to the real meaning. He
did not deny saying that McAnally and
Cameron
HAD DONE UNDERHAND WORK,
as was stated. and said he would settle the
affair with Mr.. Nc nally with no trouble
as he expected. Mr. McAnally on the con-
trary has been angry; the bad feeling of
over seven years standing has come to a
head, and the indications are that DR..
Wilson, unless he makes an apology pub
licly, will have warm time, for Mr.. Dam
eron is at the back of Dr. McAnally with
a lawyer for advice, and if the former does
not have a satisfactory settlement he will
take the matter i'm charge, and, as it is gen.
orally known. DIR. Wilson has been at him
for several years, He will probably not
stop until DIR. Wilson has been drawn
through the church investigation, which
must necessarily take place if the commit
tee fails to convict the offender. The gen.
tlemen consider their injuries too deep and
great to be repaired by simple apology.
but the church and public must see DR..
Wilson's retraction and know he spoke of
Messrs. McAnally and Cameron on ac-
count of bad blood made by little contro-
yersies in church affairs
Several afidavits have been taken on
the McAnally side, which are held ready
to fire off at DR.. Wilson if he doesn't come
TO time
