DIR. HAYS TO RECONSIDER.
A Meeting OF the Central Presbyterian
Church-FinancInI Statements Made.

A Meeting OF the Centrni ffe1DYtef1an
Church-FinancInI Statements Made.
A conversational meeting Of the Central
Presbyterian Church was held last night.
This meeting was called by the unanimous
request of the congregation to hear the re-
reading Of the financial statement and to
take action on the resignation of the pastor,
Rev. /. n. Hays.
The attendance was large, but the ladies
predominAted. After the pastors letter Of
resignation had been read the financial
statement was presented. 1t showed that
the receipts for 1889 up to November were
50, ,O64 OS, and the expenditures g, ,010 80,
leaving as balance in the treasury at that
date S53 is. Then the statement went on to
show that, with the probable outlay for the
balance of the year, there would be a deficit
Of 1914 "a by January 1, 1890, il money
were not forthcoming.
In the discussion which followed several
plans for raising money were proposed, but
were et.by the trustees with the assertion
that everything possible to ger sufficient
money had been done. It was stated that
of the 500 active members OF the church 100
of them had been the practical supporters,
while the remaining $50 had not given
cent. Just here one member, who claimed
to belong to the liberal 150 suggested that
the delinquents give 1 cent each per day,
and he guaranteed that the church would
not only get out of debt and be able TO pay
their pastor satisfactory salary, but would
soon create sinking fund. There was but
one gentleman who responded to this, and
he voluntarily offered to increase his pew
rent $40. After making this offer the gen.
tleman left the church, presumably in dis
gust.
After deal Of talking, but no more offers
of assistance, it was moved that the pastor
be asked to reconsider his resignation, and
that committee be appointed TO make the
request. The motion was carried unani-
mously, but no committee was appointed,
as no one had the power to offer DR.. Hays
anything more than 81 500 for the ensuing
year, instead Of $1,000, which he wants.
The chronic kicker was there and made
himself conspicuous by objecting to every
thing. The meeting finally adjourned, to
be held next Wednesday evening, when DR..
Hays is expected to be present. Definite
action on the resignation must then be
taken so as to have matters in shape for the
Presbytery, which meets on the second
Tuesday in December.
Treasurer Ogden had the charter of the
church and financial statements for every
year since 1880 with him, ready to answer
any questions WHICH might pc put 70 him.
He showed The DISPATCH reporter what
had been done with the q, 200 raised by
mortgaging the church property. The
money was used to lift several notes in the
year 1885 and to pay various small expenses.
The notes aggregated over 81 300.
Though DR.. Hays told a DISPATCH re-
porter sometime ago that his resignation
had been made in good faith, it is the ex-
pectation Of the congregation that be will
reconsider it, and some members think that
he may yet accept s, 500 per year salary.

IT'S A GREAT H0WLER.
The Steubenvflle Pike DeIuged With Oil
From the Davis Well.


From the Davis Well.
John NJ Patterson is in luck again.
Early yesterday morning, 50 early that the
moon hadn't yet abdicsted, the driller of
the well on the John Davis farm, on the
Steubenville pike, mile south of the Ar
buckle-Jsm gusher, thought he smelt
petroleum very strongly. Scarce had his
nostrils been spprised, when all his other
senses were awakened by squirt of grease
which nearly drowned him and went high
over the derrick.
She hissed and groaned like geyser for a
time. but finally the men got her capped,
and yesterday the pipe line men went to
work to stop the waste as quickly as possi-
bic, as the oil was flowing iuriously down
the hillside and spelling the fishing in
Charters creek.
Mr.. Scully, Of the Diamond National
Bank, points to this well as further evil
dence that the drill is the only definite au-
thority on the subject of oil belts. Fortunes
have been spent in the vicinity of the Ar
buckle-Ja Jamison and the Davis well, and
the territory six weeks ago was condemned;
now it is beginning to be rated in import
ance with Thorn creek. The Arbuckle-
Jamison shows no signs of encouragement
She responds with increased fervor every
time she is agitated.

WILL NOT ADVANCE.
Iron and Steel Rates Only VIII Go Up ON the
18Th Inst.

lStn ln4Ls
George E. McCague, General Agent Of
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroad in this city, returned yesterday
from Chicago where he went to attend the
meeting of the Central Traffic Association.
The most important business transacted at
the meeting was an agreement not to ad-
vance the rates on pig iron, wire rods, etc.
The advance was included in the general
advance in rates to take effect on
the 18th inst. Under. the agree
ment made at the meeting
the advance will apply on iron and steel
products only. Pig iron, spiegel eisen,
muck bar, iron and steel billets and blooms,
scrap iron and steel, borings, old car wheels
and axles, wire rods, mill cinder, scale and
skelp iron, etc., will remain the same as at
present to and from all points. A number
of the agents present wanted to make the
advance, but there was fight against it.
Several votes were taken on the matter, but
as a unanimous action for the change could
not be secured, the rates were not increased.
Those who objected to the change said the
condition of the business would not warrant
it. They stated that although the prices of
raw materials had advanced a few points,
the increase did not warrant change in the
freight rates.

Resolutions Adopted on the Death Of Mr..
John II. shoenberaer.
At a meeting of the vestry of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church, Pittsburg,
Pa, held November 13, 1889, the following
minute was adopted:
Whereas, We have received the sad in
telligence of the death of our senior warden,
John 81. Shoenberger, which occurred on
the 18th inst, in the city of New York, in
his 80th year, IL is
Resolved, That, though in the course Of
nature, he had fulfilled his allotted time, it
is with more than ordinary emotion that we
come together to make record of his death.
He was connected with this parish from his
youth, and had been a member of this YES
try since 1887. longer than most of his sur
viving associates can remember and before
some of us were born. He grew to manhood
Hopkins, whose instructions must have
deeply impressed his youthful mind. for his
religious convictions and attachment to the
church increased with his years, and as the
Lord prospered him, and by his liberality
and good business sense, he became the
mainstay Of this church, and the valued
counselor of the line of brilliant and godlv
men who succeeded TO its rectorship, and
many a munifcent gift, to some worthy
charity, has gone beyond this parish and
beyond the confines of this State, from John
H. Shoenberger, the recipient of which
never knew any other almoner than Trinity
Church of Pitts6urg.
Resolved, That as evidence Of Mr.. Shoen-
berger's religious fervur and simple faith,
we do record a sentiment on prayer, as ex-
pressed by him in 1872: "Our wants are
daily; our temptations, hourly; our joys.
transient; our fears, many; and our time,
uncertain1all hang, as it were, upon
thread. What security have we for life, or
ANYTHING in it, but the protection and grace
of God? And what other wav to secure
that protection, but the one He has Himself
appointed. that is, frequent sincere and
humble prayer, through His Son, Jesus

young girls in the capacity of finished

girls must serve an apprenticeship of one

City of the Straits.
Miss Cusack, the nun of Kenmare, "
left yesterday for Detroit, her stay in this
city having been successful financially. She
realized quite handsome sum from her
lecture receipts and the sale of her litera-
ture.
Father Murphy, whose visit to the Nun"
was said to have brought upon him the dis
pleasure of his superiors, was interviewed In
Baltimore yesterday in regard to his action.
He stated that his visit was actuated by a
desire to reconvert Miss Cusack. Bishop
Phelan stated that while he considered
Father Murphy's visit injudicious, no CEN
sure would be made under the circum-
stances.
A rumor that the Catholic Church pos
sessed stock in Freemasons' Hall is denied

prospective removal of the ban OF the church
against secret orders gives much pleasure to
local members of the Catholic Church.
