REV. Mr.. GOODWlN'S CASE.
The Hanover Minister Will Not Make
Confession as Requested.


Confession Requested.
HANOVER, Mass, Feb. 2S.-The case
of the Rev. T. H. Goodwin and the
Hanover Baptist Church, in which Mr..
Goodwin sought to recover $40, 900 dam
ages against Deacon John Brooks, and
Clerk FL. S. Crane has been again
brought into prominence by the publ
cation of the committee of the Council
Of Baptist Churches on the charge
against Mr.. Green.
The committee in their report find
that the evidence presented is not such
as to indicate criminality on the part Of
Goodwin, but that 1T indicates an I'M
wise degree of intimacy with female
member of the church, and in failing
to discontinue this intimacy he was
guilty of grave wrong. The charge
of Intentional untruthfulness is not
sustained.
The church is advised to rescind it's
action in excluding Mr.. Goodwin, and
the latter is adjured to make full con-
fession and ask forgiveness for disre-
garding the admonitions of the church.
The church positively refuses to rein
state Mr.. Goodwin unless he does so,
and he as positively declines to confess
what he says he has not been guilty Of.

GREELEY's FIRST HOUSE AT CuAPPAQUA.
Last of all to catch the sunlight and
to emerge from the mists that hang
about the hillsides in November, is q
lonely, half-desolate house, UP on the
western slope. 1t is far from any other
dwelling. Passing through the village
with its white, smart-looking struc-
lures, we get to nearer Wow. Tho
villagers look at it and tell me that it
is very quiet place now, that lonely
house up there on the hill, but that in
former days it was the scene of many a
merry gathering. In the woods that
surround it the great men of the
nation have met for a midsummer
political frolic, and there have been
ringing speeches made under those
old naples and beeches. too, that
have been heard all over the land.
But now it is little else than homo Of
shadows and memories. 1t is the homo
of the last of the Greeleys.
Every body knows everybody else in
Chappaqua. 1t is little better than a
picturesque hamlet-a sort of happy,
rural family. If there are not many
rich folks in Chappaqua, there are for
tunately very few really poor. Yet,
rich and poor alike have a word Of
praise and affection for the sweet-faced
woman who moves among them like a
Lady Bountiful, doing good wherever
she enters and giving so much that peo-
Pile wonder that she has anything left
to give.
| saw her yesterday. I had passed
through the village street, and coming
to turn, southwark, entered the woods
at the hillfoot through a wide open
gate. To the left stood small frame
cottage, sheltered from the winds of
winter by a curve in the hill that
framed it like an ingle-nook This was
the homo that Horace Greeley first &C.
cupied when he came to live in Chappa-
qua many years ago-so long ago that
the younger generation have no recol,
lection of it. Old Israel Haight, the
postmaster, who was IL comrade of the
great editor, shook his head when l
asked about it, and averred that il must
be we'll nigh ''onter twenty-five OF
thirty year" But he did not live there
more than 4 year or two, for the ro-
nance of the mountain side, with it's
splendid cover Of oaks, poplars. hlck-
DRY, naples and beoches, tempted him,
and besides, there at it's foot, lay a
great reach of meadow land, level as a
lake and as smooth and clear as a lawn.
So he bought it in, piece by piece, and
at last, when he had become the owne,
of the hillside and valley bottom, he
built and moved into that great, lonely
house on the mountain.
Miss Gabrielle Greeley is woman of
perhaps thirty five. although she looks
much younger. The sun had just peeped
+ across into the valley and the morning
birds were out in hundreds, making the
hillside ring with their chorus, when
she walked down the long wooden
stairway that hangs sheer over the edge
of the hill, and with the light springy
step of a mountaineer, struck out on
the path to the village below.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-02-28

among us who liked him greatly
thought he was mistaken and voted
against him, but not without some COM
Function. After that election he
seemed to lose interest in his surround
ings, and gradually broke down till he
died.
The house on the hill is lonely
enough now. Following the death of
Gabrielle's parents within few weeks
of each other, came that Of her sister
Ida. the wife of Col. Nicholas Smith.
leaving three children, who are now
being educated in a convent school.
There has been some delay in settling
up the estate, which originally stood in
the name of Mary Y. c. Greeley, the
wife of the statesman-editor, and
whose will was lately probated. Horace
Greeley, in his Lifetime, bought
various small pieces of property at
Chappaqua as he took a fancy to them.
I talked with Messrs. Porter and XII
vert, the counsel in charge Of the
Greeley estate, concerning the family
possessions.
'He would see nice little tree" said
Mr. Porter, land he would buy the land
about 1t. He bought some eighty
three acres altogether in about
twenty different parcels. some
in his own name and others in
that of his wife. The farm was pur-
chased in her name about rs years ago,
and it so stood till the day of her death.
He conveyed the other property also to
Mrs Greeley, and when she died her
will directed that the estate be sold
and legally divided between her two
daughters, Ida and Gabrielle. Mr..
Greeley died soon after his wife. Then
the will was probated, and both the
executors, Orestes Cleveland and Oliver
johnson, being dead, we began proceed
ings in the Supreme Court, asking that
a trustee be appointed. Israel Haight,
Of Chappagua, was named by the court.
Then sale was ordered, and the estate
was put up at public auction. and, no
one appearing to compete, it was sold
to Miss Gabrielle Greeley for $40, 900.
This was done so that she might be
enabled to deposit Is, 900 at once to the
credit of the children of her dead sister,
Ida, which she did, and it is now in .
Brooklyn Trust Company. Mr.. Greeley
was also the owner when he died of q
large gold mining property in Buck
ingham County, Va. -some ZOO acres,
I think. 1t is not being operated at
present and we cannot tell its value.
There is other property, too, in Erie
County, Pa, in which Q brother OF Mr..
Greeley has q life interest. There are
also various pieces of real estate in the
West which still remain to be realized
upon. The estate of Mrs. Greeley 10
now practically settled"

against it's heels and legs; make it
used to noise, bells, blankets
and robes; if frightened, pat it,
talk to it, give it to understand
you are it's friend, and it will
have confidence in you. Teach it to
