COMING TO MINNESOTA.
A Preacher Who Held His AT
fianced in His Lap.

PoUGHKEEPsIE. N. Y, April 15.-For
three years Rev. Richmond III. Gesner
has been the pastor of st. James Epls-
to Hyde Park from Yonkers. All the
village knew him and respected him.
Among his acquaintances Was Miss Ida
Brett, principal of the Hyde Park
public school. Rev. Mr.. Gesner DO arded
with Miss Sherwood, maiden lady,
and Miss Brett resided with Fred Della
mater, coachman for E. p. Rogers.
The acquaintance of the rector and
the teacher soon ripened into affection,
and the former visited Miss Brett at the
Delamater house, and a few months ago
the engagement of the young couple
was announced, and later it was given
out that the wedding would be solemn
lied in June. One evening, just before
the engagement was announced, Miss
Brett was entertaining her lover in her
room, and Mrs. Delamater and little
girl looked through the keyhOle and
saw the young clergyman. and Oh his
lap sat the teacher who had accepted
his hand in marriage and was his in
tended wife, and he was kissing her.
Mrs. Deiamater told her husband of
what she had seen, and he called upon
Rev. Mr.. Gesner, informed him of
what his child had seen through
the keyhole, and demanded $500
as the price of secrecy. The
clergyman would not listen to such a
proposition. Subsequently the story
leaked out, and the vestry requested the
pastor to clear himself of the charge or
resign. Mr.. Gesner chose the latter
course and resigned. When the en-
gagement was announced Miss Brett
also resigned her position. Last De-
cember Mr.. Gesner received call from
church in large town in Northern
Minnesota, and this call he has accept
ed and will shortly remove to his new
charge. Rev. Mr.. Gesner did think
some of prosecuting Delamater for
blackmail, but by the advice of legal
COUNSEL he will not. Public sympathy
is entirely with the clergyman and his
afianced, while on the other hand the
greatest Indignation is expressed to-
ward the DelamaterS.

BUILDING is PARALYZED.
Chicago's Strikers Have the City
at Their Mercy.

CHICAGO, April 15.-To-day's events
apparently demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that the striking carpenters have
Chicago's building operations at their
mercy. The only carpenters at work
were scattered over the city in small
groups, and, taken altogether, they
probably numbered less than 500. In one
building on TWenty-secOnd street. be-
tween Loomis and Tbroop. a small
group of non-uniOn men were at work
under police protection. On the same
building were number of union
masOns, but as soon as the executive
committee of the masons' union heard
that their men were working with nom
union carpenters the bricklayers were
ordered off the building. A number of
similar cases occurred in other parts OF
the city, one on the job at Forty-fitth
and State streets, showing that the car
penters have the support of the masons
and bricklayerS' union, the strongest
labor organization in Chicago.

Twelve Thousand Cookers Idle.

ScoTTDALE, Pa. April 15.-Over
1000 coke ovens were shut down indefi-
nitely to-day by the Prick, Shoemaker
and Mcclure Coke companies. Notice
was given last week of their suspension.
Over 1900 men are out of employment.
The cookers have threatened general
strike if this action was taken. They
insist upon having production restricted
by clearing down all the works in the
region one, OF If necessary two, days a
week, so that all the workers may share
equally in the burdens.

16. N. W. Thygeeson, who was so conn
pletely sat upon when the same meas
ure was proposed at full meeting,
again took hand, and asked that j.
Kirk and S. A. POnthen be appointed
to draft an amendment to the constltu-
ton. They were appointed and report
ed an amendment providing that the
club could, by a twO-thirds vote, make
fitting Endorsement and recommends
ton of candidate of Scandinavian birth
at any regular meeting. This brought
Justice Nelson to his feet to vigorously
oppose the measure. He proposed
that the amendment be so modi-
fed as to provide that it should
only apply before nominations were
made. That would render it inopera-
tive for this campaign and his PROPOSE
ton was rejected. After warm dis
cussion the report of the committee was
adopted. On motion of Matt Jensen
the club Endorsed DR.. Sandberg as al
derman for the Third ward. A like in
dorsement was carried, upon motion OF
n. M. TheygeeSon, in favor of q. j.
Lomen for judge of the municipal
court. Then without even proposing
to take much action with reference to
Frederick Nelson, who, by the way, is
a full-blooded Scandinavian, and an
independent candidate for municipal
judge, the so-called independent club
adjourned. 1t may be presumed that
the cause of this partiality is traceable
to the fact that Judge Nelson was a
Democrat.
The Republican city committee has
appointed George Lamb, j. j. Ellis.
John billiard, James K. Hillyard and
nv r R0nrpp q cnh-aOmmittpn tn take
charge of a canvass of voters of the
city. Committees have also been APP
pointed to instruct the voters in the
Australian law at each of the precincts.
The Prohibitionists of the Eighth
ward will hold caucus at the residence
of A. G. Lackey, 473 Fuller street, to-
morrow evening, for the purpose OF
nominating candidate for alderman in
that ward.
Who will appoint the policemen of st.
Paul in case Col. Kiefer Is elected mayor?
This question becomes interesting in
view of Col. Kiefer'S assertion that Chief
Clark would not be disturbed when
part of Henry Johns speech delivered
in the Ninth ward Monday evening is
taken into consideration. II know
HuIlUer Oh Hell III GlllS ille0tlllS WHO
would make good policemen" said Mr..
Johns, "but do the best can and | can't
secure the appointment of a man on the
police force or in the fire department.
But we want change. We want it
possible for some one outside of the
gang to be able to secure place for
good man on the police force.''
Col. Kiefer's administration Of the
police department would be worse than
that of the police commission of Mime
apolis. What with Henry Johns,
Darius F. Reese, s. Lowenstein, Capt.
Joe Burger and several others of that
ilk, all appointing policemen, what
state of affairs would exist in st. Paul
to be sure. But, as there is happily no
danger of the colonePs election, the
public need not be at all exercised
about his promises or the men who
would control him.

signs from the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Michigan. President

The GentIemen's Association Is a

CHICAGO, April 15.-The committee
on reorganization of the Interstate Com

but accomplished nothing. The roads
not represented were the Missouri Pa
cific, the Wabash, the Wisconsin Cen

TIMERS IN TROUBLE.
Journeymen Timers Ask for a
Nine.Hour, Instead of Ten-HOur

JOurneymen Timers ASK TOT u
Nine.Hour, Instead of Ten-Hour
Day.
There is a distant probability of
trouble IN the tin-working establish
ments of the city. The tinworkers'
union has been discussing the question
of shorter hours, and has finally made
a demand upon the bosses. At the pres
emit time journeyman timer works
ten hours day. and receives from 20 to
80 cents an hour. They want the hours
reduced to nine. except on Saturdays.
when eight are demanded. Yesterday
they waited upon the bosses, and re-
ceived the consent of all but two. There
are nine employing shops in the city
with several smaller ones-and the men
are confident of making their point.
They will meet at Third and Exchange
tonight to hear the formal report.
1--WE are not asking for more pay"
explained member Of the committee.
"We do not ask for ten hours pay for
nine hours work. ALI we want is
shorter day. and the loss of wages will
fall upon us"

REVISE THE CONFESSION.
That Is the Prevailing Sentiment
Among Presbyterians.

New YORK, April 15.-The Independ-
ent of this week gives return of the vote
of 1876 presbyteries of the Presbyterian
church on revision of the confession of
faith. These returns show that eighty
two presbyteries have voted in favor of
revision, forty against revision and four
have refused to vote. There are yet
fOrty-six presbyteries to be heard from
and the indications are, says the INDIE
pendent, that the vote in favor of revis-
ion will be nearly. if not quite, two
thirds of all the presbyteries.

SWITCHMEN WILL STRIKE.
All Roads Entering Pittsburg to
Be Tied Up.

Be Tied Up.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 15.-Reports
regarding strike of the railway switch
men tomorrow morning are conflicting.
The more conservative men say the
strike will not take place at that time,
while others assert that, if their de-
mands are not granted, all the roads
will be tied up within twenty-fOur
hours. The bill of grievances was pre-
sented to the superintendent of the va
rious lines this afternoon, and the only
reply was that an answer could not be
given within the time specified, and
that the matter would have to be re-
ferred to the higher authorities This
will require several days. The railway
officials say the demands were unex-
pected and it is unfair for the men to
expect a reply in twenty-four hours. 1t
is the general belief that the men will
not act hastily, and that the strike, if it
occurs at all, will not be ordered before
some time next week. The switchmen
were in session again tonight until a
late hour, but the result of the meeting
is not known.
