BALTIMORE, May I7.-BishopJ p. Camp
bell presided to-day at the African Meth
Odist Episcopal Conference. There was
a most decided contest for the election of
more bishops, but the effort was defeated.
The paper of DR.. Johnson against apos-
tolic succession was indorsed. This was
a reflection on Bishop John w. Brown,
whose quadrennial sermon last week was
in favor of apostolic succession. There
was much warm debate on this subject
among the bishops. Bishop Green, who
was expelled by the annual conferences of
New Jersey on charges of immortality,
was taken up and the conference went
into secret session. After the secret ses-
sion was dissolved a resolution was
adopted, by vote of 40 to AZ, restoring
Rev. C. II. Green to his ministerial
status.

PRIESTS ROB A CHURCH.
ITALIANS IN BOSTON TWICE
FLEECED BY PASTORS.

Both of the Thieves Members of the
Franciscan Order-One of Them FIees
to Europe with His IlI-Gotten Gains
and Lives Like LOrd-The Other Still
Here.
Boston, May 1.-THE committee Of ar
rangements for the purchase of Father
Taylor's Bethel, on Hanover street in this
city, used as an exclusively Italian
church, has brought to light a curious if
not criminal state of affairs in connection
with the subscriptions for and the pur-
chase of an Italian church. Some years
ago land and a small brick building were
bought, the intention being for the build
ing to serve for a few years until suf-
ficient money could be raised to replace
it with more imposing editice. Father
Joachim, of the Franciscan order, to
which the property was assigned, was
pastor of the church, and during several
years sums aggregating $4,000 passed
into his hands for the erection of a new
church.
PoCKETING THE FUNDS.
Father Joachim continually repre-
sented that the finances were IN a flourish
ing eendition, but would give no specific
Information concerning them. The
parishioners subsequently learned that
JuSIG were no lun0s, Iudb even Ln6 CQuTc0
they then occupied had been mortgaged
by Father Joachim for 100000 and that
he had borrowed $1,000 from members of
the congregation, many of them loaning
their all. One of the creditors finally
asked Father Joachim for his money, and
began a SUIT against him. Father
Joachim gave bonds, mOrtgaged his
library and household furniture for $4,000,
and then suddenly went to Europe.
The congregation afterward learned
that Father Joachim on reaching Europe
had left the priesthood and built costly
residence in Tuscany, Italy, and was liv-
ing in elegance. The church property
was in the name of the Franciscan order,
and the congregation could get no salts
faction.
FLEECED A SECOND TINE.
Father Boniface succeeded Father
Joachim and appeared to have adopted
the same tactics. Considerable money
was turned over to him, but he paid moth
ing, not even the interest on the $4,000
mortgage. Father BOniface is also charged
with having adopted, when the parishion-
eTs would give no more money, an un-
Christian-lixe and brutal course toward
them, refusing the last sacrament to those
too poor to pay for it, and eXtOrting con-
siderable sums from those who could pay.
The Italians have now broken away from
their pastor and organized a new society,
which will come under the control OF the
Archbishop of the diocese.

TsE ECONOMISTS" REVIEW.
LONDON. May 1.-THE Economist says: ''The
rate of discount for bank bills from 60 10 80
days, is 13 per cent, and for trade bills, 60 to
80 days, % per cent. The markets during the
week have been feverish. The panic in New
York was the leading cause. American Sc
curities Of all kinds at the beginning of the
week were pressed for sale here. The market
Monday was. if anything. frmer.
Tuesday it relapsed, and Wednesday
there was still more marked
depression. Thursday there were violent
fluctuations. Yesterday large purchases of
American railroad securities were made and
there was general recovery. There was
only one small failure throughout the week.
The leading feature in foreign securities was
the decline in American 4 per cent. bonds.
Central Pacific is 81 points lower, Denver
and Rio Grande = lower, Lake Shore lower,
Union Pacific lower, Wabash IL lower, and
Wabash general mortgage ~ lower. Ohio
and Mississippi Is : higher" The Ec0HOmist
thinks that if the panic in New York is con-
fined to the Stock Exchange il is not likely to
continue long or leave seeds for future trOu-
BILE. 1t will tend to clear the air and facili-
tate gradual recovery from the depression
so long prevailing.
