RoBBNG CHURCH AND RUNNING AWAY
A special DISPATCH To the Philadelnhia

RoBBrNG CHURCH AND RUNNING AWAY
special dispatch TO the Philadelphia
Times, from Boston, September cath. says:
William A. Spencer, one OF the pillars OF the
First Free Baptist church, has shocked his
brethren and sisters by turning out an embezzler
and running away from justice. spencer was one
OF the trustees OF the society and kindly took upon
himself responsibilities which his colleagues found
1t difficult to carry for lack OF time. While in this
capacity, 1t is alleged he has pocketed large per-
centage OF all moneys that have passed through
bis hands Among other things he skinned
the proceeds OF the entertainments which were
given In the church last winter and purloined
large number OF copies OF a book called Beaver"
and sold them. He also distracted SIS from the
pastors salary. Spencer disappeared about two
months ago, and yesterday, a warrant having been
sworn out, he was arrested at Caryville, brought
to Boston, and bound over for trial IL is said by
people who know him that he has kept company
with women. The exact amount embezzled is not
at present Known, but it is probably FULLY $1,000

CIRCULAR OF THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE.
The republican residents In Pennsylvania, but
employed in this city, have received another circu
lar from Thomas V. Cooper, the chairman OF the
republican state committee, which reads as follows:
"The republican state committee asks you for .
contribution to assist in defraying the necessary
expenses Of the campaign. The Philadelphia city
committee and the Allegheny county committee
indorse this request and ask that all contributions
be sent to the state committee. The campaign in
Pennsylvania cannot be carried to succeSswithout
means, and all interested should contribute
promptly and literally. Up to this writing the
committee Is far short for imperative needs for
home work, and as yet pcwerless to render such
aid to doubtful states as 1t usually gives pres-
dent!aa campaigns. The civil service law does not
prevent any Office holder making a voluntary con-
trbution to any political organization. 1t simply
protects you from forced contributions made by
superior Officers This is correct all statements to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the law Is
faithfully upheld by this committee Promptly
assist us by sending check or postal order to
