Two Members of Trinity Vestry Resign
Farewell Sermon of Rev. Samuel Max.

ing Two Congregations.
Two members of the vestry of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church have resigned.
They are Thomas G. jenkins, the Wholesale
grocer, and II. Lee Mason, who is secretary
of the vestry. Mr.. Jenkins, it is
said, will connect himself with Christ
Church, in Allegheny, and Mr..
Mason is already senior warden
Of Ascension Church in the East End. Both
gentlemen thus become members of churches
located nearer their places of residence than
Trinity is. Ascension is the newest church
In the diocese. and Mr.. Mason desires to de-
vote all his church service to it. The con-
gregation, though young, is growing SO
rapidly that new house of
worship will probably be built
Mr.. jenkins reasons for resigning are said
to be somewhat personal. During the
recent troubles in Trinity church Mr..
iJenkins was the steadiast supporter of Rev.
Samuel Maxwell. To fill the two vacancies
In the vestry a meeting OF the pew holders
of Trinity has been called for Monday
evening, June2.
Rev. Samuel Maxwell, for over seven
years rector OF Trinity Church, sewers his
connection with the parish to-day. His
service in that capacity commenced upon
the 1st of April. 1888. His farewell sermon
will be preached this morning, although he
will oficiate at the evening service. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Maxwell will rest for
several months before accepting any of the
various rectorships which have presented
offers since his retirement from Trinity
Church became assured.
1t is expected that active overtures will be
commenced during the present week look
ing toward the consolidation of Trinity and
st. Peters Churches. There are said to be
some legal impediments which will require
time to remove, but those Who are acting in
the movement forsee no insuperable difficult
ties. 1t is even rumored that the consolida-
tion is now practically assured, with Rev.
W. r. Mackay, rector of St. Peters as the
new pastor of the new Trinity Church.
A member of Trinity Church was inter-
viewed last evening and said that he thought
the main talk about consolidation came
from the members of St. Peters congrega-
tion.

SPEEDY ACTION PROBABLE.


The Original Package Question May be
necidcd DuuiuE the Week.
WASHIN GTON, May 24.-The temperance
movement in the House and Senate is in a
very robust condition. Within few DAYS
it is expected that the Committee on COM
merce OF the House will report favorably a
bill similar to the Wilson bill IN the Senate
graciously granting tn the various States
the right to execute their own law.
bearing on the liquor traffic, to the extent
of prosecuting illegal dealers in "origihal
packages" and in the Senate the Wilson
bill will be disposed OF before the end of
next week. 1t will be taken up on Tues
day, and only the miscellaneous business of
the morning hour will interfere with Its
continuous discussion until the final vote is
reached.
So lar little real opposition has been de-
veloped to the bill except that of Senator
Vest, but there are other Senators who are
expected to antagonize it, among them
probably VOORHEES,, Blackburn and Carlisle.
This, however, is rather supposition than
matter Of knowledge. If the Wilson bill
passes the Senate previous to the favorable
report on the Boutelle bill in the House it
is probable the latter will be set aside and
the Wilson bill reported in its stead.

Market Opened for Oleomnrgarine
Through the Original Package Scheme.
CHICAGO. May 24.-The "original pack
age" question is arousng great interest
among the produce meD of this city and the
country at large, owing to the effect its set
tlement will have upon dairy interests. 1t is
claimed by the dairymen that oleomargarine
manufacturers can take advantage of the
decision and ship their imitation butter into
New York and other States in defiance OF
existing laws, which, with certain condi-
tions, prohibit its sale, thus injuring greatly
the producers of the genuine product The
dairymen, it is claimed, do business on so
slender a margin as to make competition
with oleomargarine manu- acturers imposs-
Bile. Six months application of the origi-
nal package decision TO the oleomargarine
trade would, it is asserted, ruin two-thirds
OF the dairymen now doing business in the
state OF New York, and the same interest in
other States would suffer equally.
Such being the case, the National Dairy
mems Association has determined to take
the matter in hand and make fight against
"original packages" o. all kinds. Accord
ingly, the Legislative Committee of the as
sociation has arranged TO hold meeting
early in June, when plans for an active
campaign will be arranged.

sizes Thirty Feet of Water.
The good people along the river banks are
nightly scared about the rivers Signal Ser
vice Observer Stewart is in a measure RESPONSE
BILE for their fright, as he prophesies over 30
feet of water. In point of fact the Mononga-
hela is still rising, but the Allegheny has sunk
slightly. The height of the former river. at
P. M. yesterday, was l9 feet inches, while the
Allegheny was over 20 feet. On the currents
large quantities of wreckage and brush were
carried down, A number of RATS and boat bot
toms, loaded with sawed timber, and valued at
I'll, passed down early yesterday. The bridges
received many hard knocks from the floating tim
per, but no appreciable damage was done them.
up to last night the Allegheny had not got into
any mills on the Pittsburg size. Fears are, how
ever entertained for the Lucy furnaces. The
wafer is also looked for at the Black Diamond
works. All the boats and harges along the wharfs
are secured with extra lines. Most of the river
men hold contrary opinions to those of Observer
Stewart. They believe that the rivers will not rise
beyond 25 feet, and some of them dou BIT the poss-
btity of their attaining even that height without
the aid OF a great deal more rain.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

LEEcHBURG, May 24.-The original
package business is just now making more
of stir among the people here than any
thing for long time. The goods arrived
| on time to-day, but the brewing company's
| agent. Mr.. Silverman, could not lit them
until the order was received from the ship
| pers. This order seems to have been for
gotten, and the result was the town was
kept at fever heat all day. Finally, about
o'clock this evening the order came, and
the railroad company delivered the carload
of beer to Mr.. Silverman.
The goods were hauled to a room adjoin-
ing the Schwalm House, owned by Joseph
Schwalm, and by $50 o'clock all was sold
but seven kegs. These were shipped to
Apollo, whittier Mr.. Silverman went ON the
evening train. After the car vas opened it
took but few minutes to dispose of the
goods. 1t seems most all had been sold and
the money collected before the car arrived,
and "original packages" were soon travelling
in all directions on the shoulders of men
and boys Orders have been taken for a
large lot for Mondays use. The result of
the sales to-day are plainly apparent on the
of drunkenness.
THE AGENTS ARREST ORDERED.
The committee having the matter in
charge met and after two hours deliberations
authorized its Chairman to enter suit on
Monday morning against Silverman for
violation OF the Brooks law. Suit will also
be entered by the civil authorities for main
tanning nuisance in the borough. Mr..
O. AL r
and says if this is done he will not give bail,
but will go to jail, and then if it should be
decided that his business is legal, he will
look to the parties ordering his arrest for
damages.
At Apollo the excitement is even greater
than here. The opponents of the liquor
traffic assert that the easiest way out o the
difficulty will be to dump the wagon, owner
and beer into the river as soon as it arrives
and allow the company to do the fighting.
Here among the better class of people moth
ing is heard but the most bitter denuncia-
tion of the brewing company and its agent,
and a determination to fight the matter to
an end one way or the other. On the other
hand, the advocates of the business say that
the people have no right to try to set aside
the decision OF the United States Supreme
Court. The citizens OF the two towns are
about evenly divided on the question,
but the majority of the influential people
are against the traffic.
AN AMUSING COINCIDENCE.
All necessary funds for for the prosecution
of the matter are pledged BY the good peo-
pie of the borough. The only ludricous in
cident in the whole business in the advent
of such a racket as this on the same day the
