An Increase OF the Pastors Salary Causes
N n Disturbance.
:" CHICAGO, March G.-The trouble in the
Englewood First Presbyterian Church,
originated by those members OF the con-
gregation who are opposed to a recent
increase OF Pastor H. S. Williams salary,
led to meeting Of the congregation last
evening in the church, at Sixty.fourth
and Yale streets, which broke up in the
utmost confusion, cat calls, kissing and
shouting, and with no solution OF the
matter. Some weeks ago the trustees
increased the Rev. Williams salary from
$500 to $500. 1t met with opposition
at once from portion OF the congrega-
ton, which said that the pastor was not
only not entitled to the increase Of salary,
but that his presence in the church was
no longer desirable. Various reasons
were assigned for this. At the meeting
last night the trouble began at the out.
set. John A. Bartlett was made presid-
ing officer. The question of sustaining
the trustees was advanced and division
Of the meeting was demanded on the
vote. All favoring the trustees were
asked to step to one side OF the house
and those opposing were to take the
other. In doing so the confusion in.
creased; growing worse, il became
more impossible to decide the question.
A motion to adjourn the consideration
OF the question until the April meeting
Of the church was carried.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March G.-The

Association in opposition to an increase

the duty would not benefit the Ameri.

nally all the hops required for domestic
consumption, except a few imported
hops used for tlavoring beer. Their
hops were the best in the world and
largo quantities were exported. The
duty would cause the brewers To suffer
severely in those years when there was
a failure OF the domestic crop. The
brewers were satisfied with the present
duty OF eight CENTS per pound. which,
In 1855. amounted To an advalorem duty
OF nearly A per cent; but II there was
to be an increase In the duty on hops
then corresponding increase should be
made in the duty on imported beers.

MADE CLEAR AT LAST.

a Prominent business Man Confcssey to a
Murder Committed Many Ycnrs Age.
NoRRlsrowN, Pa, March G.-Afssr
twenty.four years the mystery surround.
Ing the assassination OF Dr.. Joseph II.
Levering, Of Lower Mcrcen, has at last
been solved. The murder was one Of
the most noted Of its day by reason Of
the sensational features surrounding it.
The veil has at last been lifted by the
death-bed confession OF John G. Hen.
derson, who died in that place Tuesday
evening within a short distance Of the
scene Of the tragedy February l3, 1886.
DR.. Levering, who had been making
professional visit, was in the act OF put
ting away his team for the night, and
while coming out Of the stable the report
oil gun was heard from behind stone
wall within ten feet OF the door in which
the doctor stood. The doctors residence
was close to Hendersons store between
the villages Of Rosemont and Whitehall.
The unusual report Of gun within
the yard OF the dwelling aroused the
family and the lifeless body was found
two minutes after the shooting. Alarm
and excitement drew large crowd that
evening, and every householder Joined
in securing the neighborhood for the
assassin, Henderson assisting his neigh
bors. The excitement occasioned by the
shooting was slow to die out. The lead
ing citizens OF the locality, including
Henderson, issued circulars offering a
reward Of 81, 900 for the apprehension Of
the murderer. With the lapse OF time
the murder sank from public attention,
but gossip recounted many interesting
incidents in the relationship which had
existed between Henderson and Lev.
ering.
Henderson was the proprietor Of the
village store, and was Of good repute.
When the war broke out Dr.. Leyering
was drafted and Henderson went to the
army ,as his substitute. Among other
considerations for this service the Doc
tor was to have charge OF Henderson's
busin ess and his family. It was said at
the time that Henderson became ieal-
GUS OF the Doctors attention to the fam.
lily, but he afterwards showed no evil
dence Of such feelings. The crime was
not attributed to him. Henderson re-
sumed bis business, and twenty-five
years subsequently illness compelled
him to retire. He moved to Philadel.
phia, but returned to his former home
and once again became leading citizen
Of Lower Mercen. Fearing that this
illness was to be his last he called in his
family to his bedside Tuesday afternoon
and in the presence Of his family physi-
clan confessed to killing DR.. Levering in
cold blood. He described the tragedy
INFINITELY, and also confessed to sending
Dr.. Levering on decoy call previous to
the shooting. Henderson expired little
before midnight. He gave no reason for
his bloody deed, and the confession has
caused as much Of an excitement as did
the crime itself, !mI
