Grave and Not Unfounded Charges
Against the Methodist Clergy.

CHICAGO, March Especial. ]-Ecclesi-
astical politics in the Methodist church
was the subject for consideration before
the ministers of that denomination this
morning in their weekly meeting. A re-
Gently published symposium bearing that
title was the subject Of clear review by
Rev. Glendenning. The symposium made
some astonishing charges. 1t asserted
that ministers we're falling into the prac-
tice of INSCRIPTIONS scheming for adj
vancement to high positions, resorting to
artifice, craft and schemes TO accomplish
their aims. The church conference books,
II asserted. were marked by the most open
and shameless self-seeking and political
Vaccinations. One of the symposists de-
clarcd that the first places in the church,
episcopa. offices, elderships, cdiforships
and agents offices are being filled by
third-rate men.
The reviewer did not believe the book
was true. 1t pointed out tendencies and
dangers, but the impression il conveyed
was false and dangerous. He denied that
the leaders of Methodism were unscrupu-
lous. designing men.
Rev. +. M. Bristol said that the book
was terri IDLY true. 1t was useless to try to
hide the fact He had seen too many IL
Illustrations of seltishness and ambition to
be blinded by any passing denial.

MEADvILLE, Pa. May 4.-The
proposition of Delamater & Co. to
settle with their creditors en- a so
per cent. basis has fallen through.
The terms of the proposition were
that it should be unanimously &C.
cepted by May l. At a meeting of
the creditors committee it was
shown that only about $4,000 of
the liabilities remained unsigned
The commit e proposed to assume
the responsibility of that amount,
and demanded OF Dsiameter & CO.
that they consider the proposition
accepted and proceed to fill their
part of the contract.
Ex-senator Delamaier withheld
his reply until Saturday, when he
stated to tie committee that the
terms of the propo ,ition had not
been complied with, and that the
friends who had proposed to assist
him in making the first payment of
10 per cent. would not consent to
have the time for securing the sigma
lures of the rest of the creditors ex-
tended. The creditors executive
committee are preparing statement
which will be made public to day.
The members of the firm were ar
rested by a small depositor Satur-

A RUNAWAY.

Messrs. j. E. and Summerield
TAYLOR had serious runaway last
Wednesday on "Town Hill" near
Romney. They had recently pur-
chased a fine team of mules and had
them hitched to a new wagon which
was loaded with salt to be taken to
Petersburg. When near the foot of
Town Hill the brake gave way and
the team went down the hill at break
neck speed At the foot of the bill
is short turn just where the road
crosses narrow bridge. At this
point the mules and wagon went over
the bank in a pile, making a com
plete wreck of the wagon and Grip
pling one mule SO badly that they
were compelled to shoot it. All of
the others were more or less injured.
The bridge is very narrow one
and should be made wider as it is a
difficult matter to drive through it
with safety of night, or even in the
day time, unless at very slow gait.
