EMBARRASSED CHURCHES.
Difficulties Attendant Upon Preaching the
Gospel in Mr.. Pullman's Model Town.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-Somewhat of sensation
has been created by the reports and remarks
made at yesterdays meeting Of the Chicago
Presbytery in regard to the desperate struggle of
ne churches at Pullman for existence, owing to
excessive rentals, ETC., charged by the Pullman
Company. The pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at that point, the Rev. T. s McCasln,
appealed for aid for his congregation. It was

and besides that is compelled to my it So 25 per
thousand feet for gas, and $ls6 lor steam heat
ing. The Rev McCaslin said the company had
agreed to heat the building, but would not keep
its contract. He said he might say more, but
the Pullman Company could turn him out of his
house on ten days notice
Mr.. j. Mclean, an elder Of the church, said
that since he had gone to Pullman to live he
had grown poorer, and had not bought suit of
clothes for two years
The Rev Mr.. Sawyer said: IT preached once

The Proposed Repeal viii Meet with Little
Favor in the House.
Special to tue Indianapolis JournaE.
WASHINGTON, JAM 12-Just what object
Speaker Carlisle had in view when he built his
committee on reform of the civil service" is
one of those questions which the friends of
President Cleveland find it difficult to answer
Of the Republicans who were on the committee
in the last Congress-, four were returned. Not
one of the four has been placed on the com
mittee this year, however, and it is very difficult
to ascertain what are the opinions of the present
members upon the subject of civil-seryice re-
form. The belief grows that the majority party
in the House will not dare to seriously attempt
the repeal of the ivilservice law on the eve of
congressional election, and whatever the indi-
vidual opinions of members may be, not one of the
many bills for it's repeal will secure the
sanction of majority of the committee. There
is no doubt that.mo than half the members of
the House would welcome any proposition that
would throw open the doors to Democratic con-
troll of more Offices than are now available to
them. 1t is equally true, however. that any at
tempt in this direction would be fatal to the
aspirations OF many who desire to sit in the next
Congress In view of all the facts in the case
and the potential reasons which actuate con-
gressional voting it is extremely doubtful if a
bill for the repeal of the Pendleton act could
muster fifty votes in the House. It might fare
proportionately better in the Senate, but could
not pass that body.

Opening Of Parliament-Comment on the
Parnell Meeting at Dublin.
LONDON, JAM 12-Parliament opened to-day.
Large crowds had congregated in the vicinity of
Parliament House long before the beginning of
the session, and when Mr.. Bradlaugh and Mr..
Gladstone arrived they were loudly cheered.
The vaults Of the houses of Parliament were
thoroughly searched this morning, but no indi-
cations of Guy Fawkes plot were discovered.
Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel was reelected
Speaker of the House of Commons without op-
position
Mr. Chamberlain. Earl Spencer and Earl
Granville conferred with Mr. Gladstone to-day.
Most of the Radical members were entertained
at dinner, this evening, by Mr. Chamberlain.
Mr. Chamberlain is attempting to form a dis
tinct Radical party.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the House of Commons,
made speech eulogizing Speaker Peel. Mr..
Gladstone, whose voice was husky and feeble,
had much trouble in being heard.
The Telegraph says: 1.-THE conference of the
Parnellte members of Parliament at Dublin
yesterday, was fasco. There was no popular
demonstration in honor of the event. The alb
sence of Mr. Parnell from the meeting was
lucky accident. as he was thus saved from the
necessity of being compelled to indicate par
liamentary programme The members who
were present privately agreed that the best
policy to pursue was to wait, as the time had
not yet arrived for obtaining home rule"
A Conservative whip" has been issued sum-
moning the members Of Parliament belonging
to that party to be present in the House to-mor-
row, in order to vote on the question of permit
ting Mr.. Bradiaugh to take his seat.

this reason: So long as the Republicans were in

In DISGUISE FOR TWELVE YEARS.
A North Carolina Editor Confesses to Having
Used False Name.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 12-For months past
the Wadesboro Times has charged that s. w.
Henley, editor of the Intelligencer. was sailing
under false colorS that his name was not Henley
and that he was in hiding. In yesterdays issue
of the Times affidavits are published that Hen
ley's name is really Sperry W. Hearn, and that
he came from Tappahannock. In oday's issue
of the Inteliigencer Editor Henley relates his
whole history, and acknowledges that Sperry W.
Hearn is his proper name. The story he tells is
a strange one. Fifteen years ago Henley Tor
Hearn, as he must now be called) was a printer
at Tappahannock, in the employ of the Essex
Gazette There he fell in love with pretty
schoolgirl and from this simple beginning" all
his troubles dated He claims that in 1874 a
cloud came between the girl and himself, and he
attempted suicide.
He had for rival an ex Union officer ard
sought to force him into a duel or even a street
fight For two months he kept the town in a
state Of turmoil This aroused the indignation
of the people. and all his friends deserted him.
He became disgusted at his own folly and de-
cided to leave the place forever In October
1874, he left Tappahannock for Baltimore, and
there assumed the name of S. W. Henley. which
until now he has borne. Since that time the peo-
pie of Tappahannock have known nothing OF his
whereabouts. For years they thought him dead.
In conclusion, he says:
II have now had my say. have endeavored
to tell the whole and entire truth, and have
little fear that the people of Anson county will
think less Of me now that they know the secret
of my life than they did when they knew me
simply as S. W. Henley, but knew nothing of
my antecedents. Having said this much. l am
done. Forever abjuring the name of s. w. Hen
ley, thus laying aside the mask under which for
nearly twelve years I have hidden my folly.

SUPERVISING ARCHITECT BELL.
His Success in Convincing Mr.. Manning that
He Has Been Misrepresented.

His Success In Convincing Mr. Manning that
He Has Been Misrepresented.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAM 12.-M. e. Bell, the Su-
pervising Architect of the Treasury, is said to
have convinced the Secretary and his assistants
that he has been wofully misrepresented and
that until the latest changes were made in tie
departments a conspiracy existed for the pur-
pose of showing him to be incompetent for his
Place. Mr.. Bell unfortunately adopted sneak
ing policy to insure his own official head in the
early days of the present administration. He
persstently sacrificed old and faithful employees
to make places for the creatures of prominent
Democrats. Mr.. Bell has shown by his conduct
of affairs, whether or not he is efficient, and
the people of Minneapolis, Pittsburg,
Rochester, Kansas City, and half
a dozen other places are generally testi-
flying against him. In spite of the cvil-servce
reform tendencies of the President, Secretary
Manning has thus far paid little attention to the
competency of men under him. Mr.. Bells con-
tinued employment is due to one of two causes:
Either he has succeeded in securing powerful
Democratic influence to retain himself in Office
or-which is the more hkely-Secretary Man
ming has not yet found suitable man to succeed
him, who is willing to take the responsibility for
the salary of the Office. Oneof the late officials
who is accused of conspiring against Bell, said
