REV MIR McNEILLE WILL REMAIN.

After the severe criticism excited by Rev k. G. s. McNeille's remarks con- cerning Washington and Grant had slightly abated, a meeting was held in the South church, at which resolution suggesting that unfavorable criticism of the pastor might be waived, in the hope that all cause for criticism might be removed in the near future, was adopt cd. The next Sunday, Rev Joel s. Ives of Stratford preached and made no reference to the pastor and his relations with the people, further than to say that a meeting of the church communicants would be held on Friday evening. With in the printed program at each pew, however, was slip bearing the resigna- tion of Rev MT McNeille. Having ten dered his resignation, Mir McNeille rested on his oars and took no part in the ami mated discussions or the careful calcu- lations which, with both adherents and critics, filled the interim between Sunday and Friday evening. When the meeting was called to order, the church was crowded almost to suffocation. A reso- lution asking MT McNeille to withdraw his resignation was carried by 190 to 66, | three to one. As he was not present, committee was appointed to apprise him of the result of the meeting, which then adjourned. Having announced that he would preach, Sunday, he was greet ed by an immense audience, which, whenever opportunity offered, greeted him with heartiest and kindliest wei come. The sermon, which was close ly listened to, was delivered in an earn est and impressive manner. It has been said that opposition was caused by his doctrines, some of which were advanced that he was in advance of his church. However, throughout the sermon, which, as is his custom, was delivered without notes, he never swerved from the principles which he had previously ex- pounded. When his sermon was partly finished, he paused and said, "Ihe rest of my sermon is for all who believe that the Bible is inspired; as we'll as for all who do not so believe.n His language was touching and eloquent. It is stated by officers of the church that no division in any way, will be caused. Surely there should not be. The harmony of Chris tian church, once broken, can never be fully restored. In announcing that he withdrew his resignation, the pastor calls attention to the fact that beyond conference with a few friends, he has taken no personal part whatever in the controversy. He does not know in de tail who may have been on the one sidt or the other. He does not wish to know nor to have anyone inform him unless il
 be the brethren themselves. And now brethren, suppose we let bygones be by gones. Let us all unite to forward, each one as best he may, the interests of tho church and of the common cause so deal to us all. Is not this the best use of the present opportunity as dictated by relig ious eXperienceT'

Gilmore's great band, where every member is an artist in his own class of music, gave an unrivalled concert in Proctor's opera house, Monday after noon. The audience was limited only by the capacity of the building. And the music! It was grand. Of all the orches- tral effects, with the solos by world-fam- ous artists, none were so thrilling as "A Storm in the Tyrol'' and ''The Charge of 4he Light Brigade" The Tyrol storm began with the tinkling bells of cattle and sheep, as they grazed in the fertile valleys and you are transported in fancy to the Tyrolean Mountains. But soon the scene is changed; dark, threatening | clouds arise, thunder, low and ominous, rolls from peak to peak and the cattle are hurried to shelter. Darker it grows and darker, while the thunder rolls near CT and nearer and the fitful gleam of | lightning is seen. And now a hush, a sudden calm; a crash, long, reverber- ating roll of thunder and then the quick, light batter of the rain as it falls in the grateful Summer shower. Still
 From peak to peak, the rattling crags among, | Leaps the live thunder
 And soon another change. The sky lightens; the rain drops are withheld the birds break forth into sweetest notes of joy, while the spirit of Thor, the god of Thunder, with many deep voiced threat, passes slowly Der the Alpine peaks. Back troop the cattle, with the herdsmen at their heads and-but the music stops. It is only the inarticulate voice of Instrumental music, but one catches his breath at the close with a half formed wish that it might not end that the vision of simple, contented lives, of rural scenery and pastoral pursuits might not be interrupted. But the pro- gram goes on and presently is announc- ed 'sThe Charge of the Light Brigade' T A sudden bugle call; the rattle of mus ketry, the crash of cannon and the con fused and indescribable tumult of armies at war. Fiercer grows the conflict; the slain by hundreds fall; there is no mer- cy, no humanity; fierce wild discord of opposing elements, yet all in unison on the one great diapason of sound. ssTu- multuous shock, and reeland rock, sue ceed each other fast. Then, ofa sudden, a trampling of galloping horses and the dash of body of men .sForward, the Light Brigadeln

Finding Hidden Treasure.

st. Augustine, Fla, telegram: This city
is in q fever of excitement today over the
discovery of hidden Spanish treasure in
an old house on the corner Of Bridge and
Marine streets. Contractor Lambias had
taken the job from Morice 6 Bro. to tear
down the house and clear away the rub
bish. About II o'clock this morning the
old colored man dug up near the founda-
ton near the chimney forty two pieces of
Spanish coin in = rusty pot. They are
very old, the fastest date being 1906, and
several of them antedating 1850. The
house and lot were the property of rich
American lady, who married one of the
European nobility. Morice took posses
sion of the find, and Morice will protect
her interest if more coin is unearthed,
which is confidently expected. So great
was the excitement about the premises
that the police with difficulty kept the
crowd from stalking out claims in the
cellar and begin mining operations at
once. Further developments are awaited
with deep interest.

LIVELY TIMES IN THE COUNCIL.
Discussion Over Changes in the Specifi-
cations.

Discussion Over Changes in the specifi-
cations.
In the city council last evening, after
the mayor had appointed Aldermen
Clinton, Bridges and Germ to supervise
the building of the new hose house, Al
derman Hotchkiss asked that the bids and
specifications be read. City Attorney
Leslie procured them from the files.
Alderman Clinton at once rose and ad-
mitted that he had changed the specifica-
tions after the advertisement had appear
ed-in fact, just about the time the bids
we're to be put in. He said that he had
notified all who were likely to put in bids
of the change. He admitted that Rob
erts had not seen the alterations, but as
serted loudly that he and the other build
ers must have heard of them. He asked
that Roberts bid be read, which was
done. 1t was for upholstered walls on
the first story. Mr.. Calvert's bid was
produced, but no one asked to have it
read. It is known: however, that the bid
was based on the old specification, before
Alderman Clinton changed it without the
approval of the council or giving public
notice in the TRIBUNE, the official city
paper.
Alderman Clinton, in arrogant tones,
said: "All understood that changes were
made The trouble is that those who
wanted the work did not get it. Mr.. Nc
Kay is getting enough for the building.
| think think this discussion has gone far
enough"
The board hurriedly adjourned with
out taking further action on the proposed
contract.
Frank CooMbs and William Roberts
were present during the discussion. Mr..
Roberts said that he did not see the alter
ed specification.
Previous to this "breeze" some general
business was transacted. Mayor Fair
