CHARGES AGAINST Mr.. wANAMAKeR.
A Democratic Paper Alleges That He
Closed the Keystone Bank.

A Democratic Paper Alleges That He
Closed the Keystone Bank.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The Philadelphia
correspondent Of the New York World
makes grave charges against Hon John
Wanamaker. The correspondent claims
that President Marsh, Of the Keystone
bank, according to the statement of two
friends, went to Washington May 10 and
saw the controller Of currency and Mr..
Wanamaker, and that Marsh on the follow
ing day walked into the room occupied BY
one Of the bank officials, where stood a
prominent business man Of this city, who
was a friend to both, and thus described
his Washington interview;
"It has come at last. Wanamaker has
closed the bank, as he has threatened Sc
many times.
"He used me like hog. ! begged and
implored him to give up that over issued
stock, and he told me that Imust give him
$780, 600 or he would close the bank
The correspondent alleges that Mr..
Marsh said that Mr. Wananaker had Ger.
tificates representing Sl50,000 OF the Key
stone bank stock, which certificates had
been fraudently issued, and which had
been signed by John G. Lucas, as presi.
dent, and by Mr.. Marsh, as cashier and
which had been put up as collateral TO SO
cure loan which had been made in the
Reading railroad stock deal.
Mr.. Marsh feared that he would be sent
to prison for his share in issuing these
fraudulent certificates, and he was very
anxious to get them into his possession
and cancel them. He said that he had inn
plored Mr.. Wanamaker week after week
constantly and necessarily, to surrender
that stock, but that Mr.. Wanamaker per
sistwntly refused.
"Time and again, !" said Mr.. Marsh, che
has threatened to close this bank unless
did as he told me, and now it has come al
| last"
The Worlds correspondent says that the
story gives an added significance to the
challenge Of Mr.. Bardsley's counsel. "Let
| Mr.. Wanamaker tell what he knows about
this affair, and then Mr. Bardsley will tel
/ what he knows"

CRIMSON MEN BLUE.
Famous Harvard students Fined In
Cambridge Police Court.


Boston, June 6.--Harvard college socie-
ty men and sporting leaders filled the po-
lice court room in Cambridge in the morn
ing. Twenty-nine of the promising sons
of fair Harvard, with downcast eyes and
tagging steps, took their seats on trial
row. Following them came thirty or more
OF their supporters, all attired in tennis
trousers and blazers and wearing Har-
ward colors conspicuously displayed. The
young men are all members of the Alpha
Delta Phi club. They hired large house
and stocked il full of the best brands OF
liquors TO be obtained. The members com
bine some Of the most respectable young
men at Harvard, whose families are social
and financial powers.
But their arlstocratic connections made
little difference to Captain 4. III. Lucy, OF
station No. 1,who detailed Sergeant Pullen
and a squad of four policemen to raid the
house IA Plympton street. Sergeant
Pullen made his way 10 the cellar, where
the liquors were on tap. A team brought
the stuff to the station, where it was
found to be worth about 800. The seizure
consisted of many kinds Of wine, cordial.
whisky, gin, brandy, etc, bottles and kegs
Of beer and ale and all the paraphern,llia
necessary TO carry on the business OF a
barroom. Then Captain Lucy issued a
summons TO the members Of the club.
Great was the wailing at Harvard when
the news leaked out, and great, too, was
the hnstliDg of the culprits TO secure the
necessary cash with which 10 pay their
fines.
Among the culprits were Arthur j.
Cumnoek, captain Of the university foot
ball team; Dudley s. Dean, captain Of the
university niue; Jacob Lowell, Jr., poet
| and one of the noted society men of the
college; James A. Lowell, son of Judge
Lowell; Bennie Trafford, the well known
| fullback of the football team and first
| baseman of the university nine. A seconc
raid was made at noon on the clubroom O

about half gallon of liquor was seized

PEACE AT PlTTsBuRo.
DIR. McAnister's Opponents Now Credit

DIR. McAllister's Opponents Now Credit
Him with Fairness.
pIrrsBURG, June 6-The interest in the
proceedings Of the Reformed Presbyterian
synod appears to have abated at the close
OF the eloquent appeals for justice by the
suspended ministers. Rev George re-
sumed his argument in self defense and
in defense Of the action Of the Pittsburg
preshytery He became greatly confused
when pointedly questioned by those whom
he was trying to prove guilty Of violating
church laws.
Rev. DIR. McAllster, moderator Of the
Pittsburg presbytery, made an address Ia
defense Of the action Of the presbytery ia
suspendmg the ministers. He argued that
there was no ground for an appeal from
the decision Of the presbytery. On all
sides, and even by the most liberal Of the
liberalists, it was conceded that Dr. Me-
Allister showed disposition to treat tho
question under discussion fairly.
'fhe presbytery is charged with having
scheme to obtain evidence, said he
~ don't believe Il is necessary to speak Of
this point. / think the integrity OF tho
men constituting that body is sufficient TO
repudiate the assertion and insinuation
that we had scheme The controlling
purpose was to bring about reconcilia-
ton" He spoke at length in regard TO an
alleged breach Of confidence with which
he was accused The Rev. H. w Temple,
one Of those who attended the East End
meeting and who was secretary, told DIR.
McAllister that an organization had been
formed This was told in confidence, but
subsequently the seal Of confidence was re-
moved by the Rev. DIR. Temple himself
The speaker then said: ~ have here a
sworn affidavit from Rev. J. H. Carson, of
New York, that there was no organizat ion
formed at the East End meeting How are
we to reconcile these two statementsg One
says there was an organization formed and
one has an affidavit that there was not.
There must have been an organization,
because the platform was printed and Mr.
Temple told me they were to secure sigma
lures. ! assert that until the affidavit and
minutes Of the East End meeting are put
upon this table / shall insist that that or
| ganization was a secret organization
The speaker referred to the fact that the
| presbytery did not wrongly impute the in
tentions Of the young men TO break up the
church. He read several verses from the
Scripture and the confession to prove that
the opinions Of the young men were erro-
neous and were destructive to the doc
trines OF the church, and that their pro
mitigation would divide and overthrow
the church

He Believed Cumming Guilty.
From the first Lord Coventry believed
him guilty, and it was when he and GEN

remark being supported by his old friend
Owen, Sir William affixed his signature
to what has been described as '.the docu-
mont" The full text OF the latter was for
the first time read to the court, and the
effect Of Il was 20 put a slightly different
complexion on the motive for signing it..
Seeing that the evidence against him was
OF an overwhelming character he placed

TWAS also clearly shown from theprecis,
written in Lord Coventry's diary, that one

was TO keep the name OF the prince out Of

WEST PofNT, n. Y, June 6.-For the

lovely day and all nature seemed to smile.
So did the cadets and their many lady
friends. The cadets because their trials
and tribulations are nearly ended, the
ladies for the reason that after today the
dear boys win be privileged to promenade
with them the greater part Of the day, as
examinations will close within the next
twenty four hours. The farewell sermon
will be preached to the class of '9l in the
historic old chapel on Sunday. The drill
during the day was the school of the
soldier mounted, being dashing exhibit
tion of horsemaRship under the direction
Of Captain Louis A Craig, Sixth cavalry
the participants being members Of the
first class. The drill was given on the tan
bark Of the old riding hall and was a most
magnificent sight.
The exhibition opened with assaults on
supposed redskins by the troopers. The
redskins were at various heights and al
convenient points about the hall to per
nit Of right and left lunges, thrusts and
cuts with sabers and shots from revolvers
When all the enemy had been killed off Z
dozen times the order to dismount wa,
given, the trappings removed from tn,
horses and bareback riding was indulgec
in. Having done this singly, a second mar
ran alongside Of each animal, and with
horse at full trot landed by the side of his
comrade. Bareback feats that would hav,
done credit to the greatest show on eartl
followed, the whole winding up by tn,
cadets throwing their steeds and giving
them a good roll on the tanbark, which
delighted the female portion Of the speota
tors immensely, as the equines frisked ane

THEY WILL BACK BRIGGS
Union Theological Seminary
Stands by It's Action. =
THERE WAS A VERY HOT BATTLE.

Professor PrentIss Nearly overcone by
the Excitement-The PreHbytery's Conn
mittee win BE Courteonsly Received.
but Their visit win BE a Useless One
NEW YORK, June 6.-For three hours
last evening the directors Of the Union
Theological seminary sat in secret session
discussing the case Of Or. Briggs. A Feso-
luton was adopted at the meeting up
holding the former action Of the directors
regarding the transfer Of DR.. Briggs from
the Davenport professorship Of Hebrew to
the new Edward Robinson professorship
Of Biblical theology. The resolution wns
as follows;
No Change In Their Views.
Resolved, That the board OF directors, after
having taken legal advice and after due con-
sideraton, see no reason TO change their views
on the subject Of the transfer Of DR.. Briggs,
and feel bound In the direction Of their duties
under their charter and constitution 70 adhere
TO the same.
"This is all, said Treasurer Kingsley.
that we can make public of the meeting,
with the exception that there were two
dissenting votes upon the passage Of tho
FtsoihbAou. Ibe obuef polhbh fhioeu aft
deferred until after we hear from the gen
eral assembly"
The Fight Was a Warm One.
The fact that a struggle was in progress
behind closed doors was evident when
Professor q. A. Prentiss staggered out
into the hall after the discussion had been
under way for two hours, and nearly sank
TO the door through weakness brought on
| by over excitement The venerable profess
or's body shook like leaf and he had to
be assisted to private room until he had
recovered Then Dr. Hastings left his
/ place in the meeting and accompanied the
professor to his home. Only one ballot
was taken on the resolution and the vote
stood 20 to 2 In favor of its passage.
II wiz Be Useless visit.
| The directors OF the seminary express
/ ignorance as to the duties OF the com
mittee OF fifteen appointed by the general
assembly, but say that they will receive
them with all the courtesy possible when
they visit the city. It is evident now, IN
the face Of the present action of the sem
mary directors, that the visit Of the gen.
eral assembly committee will be useless.
