WASHINGTON, D. O, March 6.-The
Ways ard Means Committee to-day heard
representatives Of the Brewers Association
in opposition to an increase of the duty on
hops. President Lsfens, Of ChicsgO, pre-
sented q number Of statistics and argued
that an increase Of the duty would not
benefit the American hop grower, as he
produced normally sll the hops required
tor domestic consumption kept few i'm
ported hops used for davOriDg beer. Their
hops we're the best 10 the world and large
quantities were expected The duty would
be 10 cause the brewers to suffer severely
IN those years when there was failure OF
the domestic crop. The brewers were sat
i,fed with the present duty OF s cents per
pound, which in 1888 amounted TO an ad
valorem duty of nearly A per cent, bat If
there was 10 be aa increase 10 she duty on
hops, then q spending incres'e should

statements. Chairman Mckinley read
from a memorial jointly drawn up By the
brewers and hop growers, in which the
former agreed to assist the hop growers in
scouting and maintaining adequate pro-
lection for their product. The witness sd-
United to Mr. Dingley that this was the
result OF sn agreement by which the hop
growers were to aid the brewers in prevent
ing the enactment Of prohibitory liquor
laws He maintained that as a re-
snt OF prohibition more liquor
vas drank than in States where licenses
werC granted. Mr.. Dineley who comes
from prohibition State wss much inter
estei in this testimony, and endeayOred TO
cOntf0vsrs il. He said that the distillers
had sided with the brewers in their oppo-
sition TO prohibition, which would not be
co sistent course if more whisky wss
Consumed under prohibitory law than in
its absence. He did not believe that the
witnesses argument hung together. Mr..
Scharnsnn persisted, however, in his
statement that prohibition decreased the
consumption Of beer aud increased that OF
whisky, and said that be was fully borne
out in this by practical experience.
The discussio. was brought to a close
by Mr.. Bayne's objection that It did not
concern the committee.

As has been known for some time, Sena-

to the redistricting Dill. Brown declared
he would never vote for the redistriCtiDg

THE PASTORS PAY.
Cause Of the Trouble In The Englewood
Presbyterian Church.

Presbyterian church.
CHICAGO, March 6.-The trouble in the
Englewood First Presbyterian Church,
origin s.ed by those members of the con-
gregation who are opposed to a recent iu-
crease of Pastor Williams salary, led TO a
meeting of the congregation last evening,
in the church, which broke up in the
utmost confusion, cat calls, Kissing and
shouting, ard with no solution Of the
matter.
Some weeks sgo the trustees increased
Pastor Williams salary from So. 500 to
So, 500. 1t met with opposition at once
from portion Of the congregation, which
said that the pastor was not only not en-
titled 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 outset. John A. Bartlett wss
made presiding officer. The question OF
sustaining the trustees was advanced, and
division of the meeting was demanded
on the vote. All favoring the trustees
we're Asked to step 10 one side Of the house
and those opposing were to take the other.
In doing so the confusion increased, and
it became impossible to decide the ques-
tion. Finally a motion to adjourn the
consideration of the question until the
April meeting of the church was carried.

AFTER "A YEARS.
THB DBATH-BBD CONFESSION OF A NOR
RlSTOwN MURDERER.
A Long Pending Mystery at Las! Cleared Up
The Excitement OccasODsd by the
orfsSSiOn-Story Of
the Crime.

NORRIsTOwN, PA, March 6.-After "A
years the mystery surrounding the assas-
sinstion of DR.. Joseph II. LeveriDg, of
Lower Merton, has been solved.
The murder was one of the most noted
OF it's day BY reason of ths sensational fes.
lures surrounding it, The veil has at last
been lifted by the deathbed confession OF
John G.. Henderson, who died in that
place Tuesday evening. within short
distance of the scene of the tragedy.
February 13, 1866, Dr.. Levering, who
had been making professional visit, was
in the act of putting away his team for the
night, and while coming out OF the stable
the report OF gun WAS heard from behind
a stone wall within 10 feet of the door in
which the Doctor stood. The Doctors
residence was close to Henderson's store,
between the villages of Rosemont and
whitehall The unusual report of gun
within the yard of the dwelling aroused
the family, ard the lifeless body was found
two minutes after the shooting. Alarm
and excitement drew large crowd, and
every householder joined in securing the
neighborhood for the ASSASSIN, Henderson
assisting his neighbors.
An inquest was held, and after q search
ing investigation nothing could be ascer-
tanned to permit of the smallest suspicion
falling on any one. The excitement oc-
casioned by the shooting was slow TO die
out. The leading citizens Of the locality,
including Henderson, issued circulars
Offering reward Of $40. 900 for the ap-
prebension of the murderer.
With the lapse of time the murder sank
from public attention, bat gossip re-
counted many interesting incidents in
the relationship which bsd existed be-
tween Henderson and Levering. Hen
derson was the proprietor Of the
village store aud was OF good
repute. When the war broke ont DR..
Leyerirg was drafted and Henderson went
to the army ss his substitute. Among
other considerations for this service the
doctor was to have charge of Henderson's
business snd attend his family. 1t was
said at the time that Henderson became
Jealous of the DOCTORS attention to the
family, but he afterwards showed no evil
dence Of such feelings, and The crime was
not attributed to him. Henderson re-
sumed his business, and five years subse-
quently illness compelled him to retire.
He moved TO Philsdelphis, but returned to
his former home, and once again became
leading citizen of Lower Merton.
Fearing that this illness was to be his
last Henderson called his family to his
bedside Tuesday afternoon, and, in the
presence Of the family physician, confessed
to killing DR.. Lsveripg in cold blood. He
described the tragedy minutely and con-
fessed to sending DR.. lowering on decoy
call previous to the shooting. Henderson
expired little before midnight. He gave
no reason for his bloody deed, and I g con-
fession has caused as much excitement as
did the crime itself.
