Anna Oliver ,ivea m Her church.

BRooKLYN, April 30.--Rev Anna Oliver,
who established Che Willoughby Ave, Metho-
dis Episcopal Church, preached her farewell
sermon last evening. She explained the work
she had done during the past four years, and
said she would not give up ministerial or pas
t0ral work. This summer she will spend In
rest aud literary work, aud will then start for
England. She will travel thence 10 Italy,
Egypt and the Holy Land Next year she will
return home to take church position. In
conversation with reporter Miss Oliver said
the reason for the dissolution OF her congrega-
ton was the non-reeogni tion OF the church by
the denomination because Of its having a
woman for pastor. Tho annual Methodist
conference was powerless to recognize her pas
torate until some action has been taken on the
subject by the general conference, which VIII
not meet Tor year to come. She hoped to be
admitted to the church as q regular pastor In
the near future, aud thought tho advances
made IN the last few years in the recognition
OF woman's work warranted such belief. The
church edifce, for which Miss Oliver herself
paid, Is to be abandoned. because it has been
bought by Reformed Presbyterian society.

CALIFORNIA CROPS.

Fine Prospect for Wheat, and Fruit
Promising the Largest Crop Ever
Known.
SAN FRANcIsco. April 30.--The Chronicle
publishes an exhaustive crop report from all
sections Of the State, showing wheat in good
condition; that rumors Of damage by the new
grain pest are without foundation; only four
counties report the presence Of the grain bug.
and their damage 10 the wheat is slight The
heavy rains Of last month brought out the
wheat Ia fine style, and, though the crop will
not he large ii will be fully equal TO that u
last ear. The increase in the acreage OF
wheat may broadly be stated OF 20 per cent
From ali the big wheat-growiug counties the
reports Indicate more than an average cruo.
The southern counties suiferea mott from the
drouth, but what they lose on wheat they
mako up ia fruit. The fruit crop will be the
greatest ever known iu the State. Napa
county alone expects 10 make three million
gallons Of wine. Barley and hay are both
light, but there viii be enough to feed stock.
Taken altogether the outlook In good for q
prosperous year 10 the California farmer.

Col. Bliss Begins ais Argument for the
Prosecution

Col. Bliss Begins ais Argument for the
Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-In the Star route
case to-day Mr.. Bliss began an address 10 the
Jury on behalf OF the government He de-
clared the defence had failed 10 produce any
witnesses 10 contradict those called By the
government.
He acknowledged that the Postmaster GEN.
ersl had signed a daily Journal containing the
orders but maintained that in no way did that
action make him responsible for them. Bliss
believed that the court would instruct the
jury that II departments withheld evidence in
their possession il was the duty OF the jury to
assume that these books and documents would
prove facts unfavoraale 70 persons who held
them The government had not been able to
look at the books. AS TO the excuse that they
did not wish the government to pry into
affairs not connected with the case 1t was q
sham aud they knew it.
whwhad they tailed 10 produce RerdelPs
account books2 Then there was Bosler. After
the failure Of defence TO call him TO the stand
II must be assumed that unless he was able to
fence with the truth he would have endanger-
ed their case. OF John Dorsey's letter threat
ening Rerdell with prosecution for forgery If
he harmed the other defendants Bliss remark
ed that it put John Dorsey in a position of en-
deavoring to compound felony. Walsh's tes-
timony could not be sneered away or discredit
ed because he had civil suit against Brady.
Boone had been treated delicately. He did
not lics lhh tue 1tASI NONcAuulenA NitHcsScsg
hut was mistaken where he contrsdicted the
defendants Why, he did not know Mr.. Bliss
said) unless Boone knew other facts damaging
TO defendants.
A long dissertation followed based upon the
construction to be placed upon the laws
governing allowances for expedition.
Mr.. Bliss recalled the fact that Rerdel's s
memorandum contained the name OF J. II,
Mitchell. Carpenter remarked there was no
charge against j. n Mitchell. Bliss said that
he did not know why the entry was there bat
Il was for something not for ornamental pur-
poses. Mitchell had been in the court room,
but defence had shown no inclination to call
him. He (Bhss) did not wish TO be understood
ns implying any improper transaction On
| Miicheils part, but surely II he had sworn
| that he had had no connection with the busi.
ness II would have tended 10 show Rerdell had
manufactured the memorandum.
| Bliss then took up separately number of
routes aud pointed out the inaccuracies o.
| aflldavits and the enormous disproportion be
tween revenues aud expenses. He quoted
Bradys comment upon the Mineral Pari
| route "a great through route" and saroasticall]
observed that it ran through the Treasury.
