ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
READING, May 2.-The annual conven-
tion OF the German Baptists, better known
as the Dunkards, of the Eastern district of
the United States-a quaint and curious re-
ligious nomination-adjourned at Ephra-
ia, II miles from here, at noon to-day. Del
egates from number of States were present,
The most important work of the convention
was the presentation of the report Of COM
mittee appointed to visit certain churches
and ascertain whether the strict rules of the
denomination, with respect to dress, was OBJ
served. This committee reported consider
able bad feeling and disturbance on account
OF the efforts to enforce the rules of
the church. They say that some OF the
women do not wear the plain white caps
that the rules provide; that the men no
longer wear their hair long and part it in
the middle as of old; that the women wear
fashionable attire, gold ornaments and
feathers. and that the men wear mustaches
without full beard, all of which is contrary
to the rules.
In its travels the committee found women
wearing fashionable hats, with feathers,
while in several churches there were organs,
and the young people were more and more
giving themselves over to frivOlity, dressing
as they pleased. After a lively discussion
it was agreed to bring the matter before the
general meeting which will assemble at
Warrensburg, Mo-, on Whit Monday, the
26th inst, and which will probably be at
tended by 100000 people. including dele
gates from all parts of the United States.

The Great American Traveller Is Cordially
Welcomed by Prince Albert.
LONDON, May 2.-The Emin Relief Com
mittee gave reception in honor of Henry
NJ. Stanley this evening. The Prince of
Wales presided. Among the guests were
the Princess of Wales, Princess Victoria,
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince
Christian, Prince Albert Victor, Prince
George, the Duke OF Fife, the Lord Mayor
of London, and large number of distin-
guished persons.
The Prince OF Wales, in the name of the
English people. welcomed the illustrious
traveller and said he was glad to accord him
hearty greeting after all he had gone
through.
Mr.. Stanley, who was received with pro-
longed cheers, said his position was diff
cult one in addressing them, the committee
hampering his freedom in regard to what he
should say. He defended the route across
Africa which he had selected He paid a
high tribute to the devotion and courage of
his associates. He said he could have dis
pensed with the services OF none of them.
When Emin was relieved for the second
time, said Mr.. Stanley, his so-called subjects
had reyolted four times. Relief reached
him at critical period.
The Prince of Wales proposed q vote of
thanks to Mr.. Stanley, which was adopted
by acclamation.

LONDON. May 2.-In the House Of Com
mons this evening Mr.. Cameron moved the
dlsestablishment and disendowment of the
Church of Scotland.
MIR. Gladstone, replying to a members
assertion that the majority of the Midlothian
electors were against disestablishment, said
he would be glad to answer to his electors
for the vote he was about to give. He would
be thankful to govern, if they gave him an
opportunity to do so, at the earliest possible
moment The only ground in defense of the
church establishment was that it was per-
forming some special religious work in the
country. lie believed that the condition of
Scotch opinion which Lord Harrington de-
scribed in 1877 as justifying disestablish-
ment was row reached, and he, therefore,
supported the motion.
In his opinion there never was country
where the question was so simplified as it
was in Scotland. 1t would not entail a
tenth part of the violence entailed by the
disruption of 1868. There was no sign that
the change would be attended by anv of the
characteristics that belonged to violent ira
ditions.
Lord Harrington said he regretted the
new position which Mr.. Gladstone had
taken up. He was unable to agree with
him that Scotland had pronounced unmis-
takably on this question. Besides that it
was necessary to know the lines upon which
it was proposed to act. In opposing the
motion, however, it must not be supposed
that they opposed the necessary reform of
the Scotch church or even disestablishment
should reconstruction prove impossible.
Mr.. Cameron's motion was rejected. 256

James Moran Has Implicit Confidence In His
Wife's Innoceuce-Peculiar Letter From

Out for n Confession.
Mrs. Ida Moran, who is charged with the
murder Of Palmer Rich at Norwich, N. Y,
is in the Central station awaiting the ar
rival of Deputy Sheriff W. W. Brown with
extradition papers. Mrs. Moran said yes
terday that she was perfectly willing to 20
back and stand trial, as she is innocent of
the crime charged against her. The Sheriff
was expected last night, and James Moran
stayed around the Central station to bid
farewell to his wife,
Mr.. Moran, who has the build of trained
athlete, as he is, and is very intelligent is
confident of his wife's innocence. He pro-
duced letter he received some time ago
from Sheriff L. f. Kinney, Of Chenango

Moran's cooperation in discovering the
body and the murderers of Rich. The let

of Mrs. Fox on the night Rich disappeared,
and must know something OF the case. She is
promised reward of 81 900 if her testi-

assured immunity ii she was concerned in
Mrs. Moran declines to testify she may be
convicted ,as there is ample evidence against
her and the other parties implicated.
Mr.. Moran and his wife talked over the
letter and decided not to answer it, as it ap-
peared to them to be a peculiar commune
cation from an official. Mr.. Moran says the
man who is said to have seen Rich go into
Mrs. Fox's house afterward repudiated the
statement.

CONCORD: MASS, May 2.-The sudden
disappearance of Willard White, VINO had
the reputation Of being one of the wealthiest
men in Concord, leaving heavy liabilities,
was somewhat different from the ordinary
style OF getting away from creditors. He
owned a big stock farm. on which he
had expended thousands of dollars. He
also spent several thousands in addition in
building and furnishing new house. 1t is
said that his outlay aggregated $50, 900.
The farm was stocked with 200 head of
horses and $50 head of cows, all pure
blooded. The farm hands did not ask him
for money the last year or So As a result
he was Indebted TO them in sums varying
from $50 to $500.
The farm was heavily mortgaged but no.
body in town knew about it. The property
was so covered with mortgages that there
was little lett for the farm hands. White

Still Further Witnesses Examined In the
Congressional Contest Trial.
LITTLE Rock, May 2.-The Clayton
Breckenridge Investigating Committee held
two sessions to-day. -.--
Thomas G. Hervey, one of the election
judges OF Seward township, Conway county,
testified as to what he knew about the steal
ing of the ballot box. The first informa-
ton he received that the box was
taken was when told by Hobbs, an
other judge who was at the polling
place when the masked men entered and
took the box. He had Just left Hobbs few
minutes before to get lamp, to see how to
count the votes. Witness thought that some
OF the negroes in the township had some
thing to do with the stealing.
Colonel W. H. II. Clayton was examined
at length. He told about his going to
Plummerville on January 80, 1889, the day
after he heard of his brothers death. He
said no one in Plummerville offered him any
sympathy or any assistance; that the
houses were closed; no one was on the
streets, and that everybody avoided him.
He thought that the conspiracy to mur-
der his brother was concocted in Nor
rillton, and that it was known to
at least 25 men in the county
that it was to occur. He believed that his
brother was killed by Oliver T. Bently and
Bob Pate. He was firmly convinced that
the persons who stole the ballot box killed
his brother.
Heidi not charge the Democratic party
with being responsible for the crime. He
believed the community in Arkansas de-
sired that the murderer should be caught
and punished. He believed that the Gov
ernor had done his duty in his efforts to ap-
prehend the assassin, but thought he had
been led off on the wrong track.
A number of witnesses testified that they
were in Howard township on the day of the
November election and voted for G. +.

it as important that the path to the ballot

have steadil y opposed every effort to impose
unnecessary restrictions and impracticable
regulations upon our election system, which
are not adapted to our free institutions, or
which would render our elections enormously
expensive and vexatious.
1t is to be regretted, however, that such
endeavors have only been partially success
ful. In the interest OF an honorable COM
promise OF diverse opinions and with sim

accomplish something toward the puri6ca-
tlon OF our elections, even though it shall
not be wholly satisfactory, have felt con-
strained to yield nv views as to several pro-
visions which 1 must still deem imperfect
ana which hrmly believe will be so gen.

more fully disclosed in the practical opera
tion of the new system.

tails of the measure so long as no surrender

manhood suffrage. In one sense it may be
urged that the exclusive official ballot is
still retained. That may be so, but in a
broader view it is evident peculiar charac-
teristics have been largely destroyed or
eliminated. 1 am not disposed, however,

less technicalities. 1t is immaterial
what the form of ballot or the method of
voting prescribed in this bill may be called,

are substantially prescribed and protected.
During all the controversy OF the past three
years 1 have invariably insisted upon the
right Of an elector to prepare his own ballot
at home and to bring it with him to the polls
and to vote it, and 50 long as this bill does
not materially infringe upon that right I

The Jury Decides That She Forged the
Richard Brown Notes.
TOLEDO, May 2.-The trial of Madame
De We're, the clairvoyant, on the charge of
forgery and uttering forged paper, which
has lasted over a week, ended late
this afternoon in verdict of guilty on both
counts. 1t will be remembered that both
she and Joseph Lamb, for years a
trusted employe of the United States
Express Company here, and a man of
high standing, were arrested for
forgery-notes to the amount of something
like $4,000 having been negotiated BY
Lamb at various banks here, to which the
signature of Richard Brown, the wealthy
iron master of Youngstown had been forged
as the maker.
The case had excited intense interest
here, opinion being divided as to whether
Lamb or Madam De We're were fellow con-
spirators, or one the dupe of the other.
Lamb was recently tried on an indictment
for forgery, but was acquitted. Another in
dIctment against him is pending, however.
Madam De Vere's counsel will move at once
for another trial.
