THAT ARE CLUSTERING AROUND TIE PRINCE
OF WALES.
The Sentiment Of the Masses Demands Some Punish
ment for the Heir to the 0rown-Sir Gordon
Cumming is Virtually Casbiersd by Army
Olrclss-Fesling Runs High.

LONDON, June 12.-The Southern
Baptist Association has passed resolu-
ton condemning the Prince of Wales
for the part he took in the baccarat
scandal, and instructed the secretary OF
the association to send the Prince a
copy OF the resolution. 1t is understood
that the Prince of Wales is keenly stung
at the adverse press criticisms which
have been showered upon him from all
quarters. Especially is this the case in
regard to the newspaper comments
which practically accuse him of revolt
ing the secret of the Tranby Croft scan
dal and referring to the fact that he,
the Prince of Wales, was not asked If
he had spoken OF the affair to anybody
after Sir William Gordon Cumming
signed the discriminating document,
while this question was put to all the
other witnesses for the defendants. The
Prince of Wales emphatically denies
that he divulged the secret to anybody.
The war office authorities are holding
frequent conferences and are discussing
tie action to take in consequence of the
verdict against Sir William Gordon
Cumming.
The Duke Of Cambridge, the Field
Marshal, Commander-in Chief, yester-
day summoned General Owen Williams
and Col. II. H. D. Stacey, in command
of the Scots Fusilier Guards (Sir Will
liam Gordon Cummings regiment) TO
the horse guards, where these two
officers had long interviews with the
Duke. Sir William Gordon Cumming
has announced that he is willing to meet
the charge of playing an illegal game.
At meet of the st. Olaves guardians
in South London last night, member
moved resolution declaring that the
gambling Of the Prince of Wales is a
disgrace to the country. The chairman
refused to allow the motion to be put.
An exciting scene followed. Friends OF
the movers of the resolution denouced
the Prince Of Wales in unmeasured
terms. The chairman finally left the
hall and the meeting broke up, disorder
continuing to the end.
The Ohcidl (London) Gazette this
evening announces under date OF June
10, that the name of Sir William Gordon
Cumming had been removed from the
list Of officers in the army, as Her Maj
esty has no further occasion for his SER
vices

FOR HIS WIFE'S HONOR.
A Memphis Tragedy That is Being Re-
hashed in Court.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 12.-The
dying declaration of David Poston was
read this morning in the Criminal Court
before which Col. II. Clay King is on
trial for the murder of the noted lawyer.
1t is as follows: 81 was walking down
Main street and saw III. Clay King ap-

The cross-bill complained of alleges a

At this stage, tba remarkable divorce
bill (which was never filed, but which
was sent to Judge Morgan), was intro
duced. 1t professed to be bill written
by Col. King, setting forth that his
married life was unhappy and arranged
for marriage with Mrs. Pillow in the
event of divorce being obtained. Col.
King said he went armed because OF

Pillow, also threatened me and Mrs.

the deposition of Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. Pill

Cross-examined, Col. King said he
sued the Memphis Appeal and David
Poston for slander, laying the damages
at S25, 900, while he, himself, had been
sued for $40, 900, for the same cause, by
Mrs. Pillow. "The appeal admitting

THE STORM AROUND THE THRONE
Owing to the Prince of Wales Action in
Tranby Croft Scandal.

LONDON, June l2.-The storm rising
round she Prince of Wales is fast OBJ
tanning intensity, endangering his
chances OF succession to the throne, If
not the existence of the British mon
archy. No class appears to be stirred
so deeply as the great middle class, the
real strength of the country and hith-
erto, solid prop of the monarch.
The Radical members of. the House
of Commons are opening the attack on
the Prince of Wales, but they have been
warned that Mr.. Gladstone resents the
movement.
A group of Radicals, meeting to-
night, after Cummings dismissal from
the army was gazetted, concurred in the
opinion that the leaders had mistaken
the feeling of the nation. The Radicals
will not be content with any
thing less than action by
the military authorities involving
the same official reproof Of the Prince
of Wales. Generals Williams and Lovett.
Conferences have been held at the War
office, and it is reported that they de-
cded that the Prince of Wales, General
Williams and Lovett had committed no
offence against military law, but only a
technical breach of the regulations.
The Commander-in- Chief will probably
deal with the case privately without re-
gard to regulations. Club sentiment
naturally supports the Prince.
The rumors of the bad reception OF
the Prince of Wales at Ascot are per-
version of the facts. He was specially
honored to-day when his horse, Imp,
won the high weight plate.
Court circles are much exercised over
letters from the German court reflect
ing the opinion of Emperor William.
1t is believed the Emperor has written
the Queen a long and serious criticism
on the Princes life, dilating especially
upon the gambling OF officers, as
a grave offence to military honor, and
made worse by the signing of a paper
permitting a Colonel of Guards cheating
to retain his commission in the army.
The Queen, it is said, forwarded the let
ter to the Prince of Wales.
Sir William Gordon-Cumming started
for Forres to-day. Cumming wired the
Provost of Forres asserting 10 dem
onstration. The town will make holi-
day of the occasion, and is raising foral
arches on the route to Altyre.

Farmer Influence in PennsyIt anla

MEANWHILE, PA, June 12.-Hon.
Leonard Rhone, Master Of Pennsylvania
State Grange, and r. III. Thomas, State
SecretyrY, were in this county to-day on
a tour of inspection among the erangers
of Western Pennsylvania. Meetings
which were largely attended have been
held in several places at which both
officers urged the grangers to steer clear
of partisan politics in the grange. They
also called attention TO the progress
which has been made towards equaliza-
tion OF taxation, and while the farmer
had not received all he asked for, he
had been fairly met with substantial
compromise in the shape OF the Boyer
bill. which would greatly tighten his
burden of taxation. Both officers ex-
pressed themselves highly pleased with
the trip.

WILL BE A FIELD DAY
In the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
Something Will Drop.


PITTSBURG, PA, June 12.-Sunday
services in the several churches OF the
ministers deposed by the Reformed
Presbyterian Synod, promise to be re-
markable. The first effects OF the divi-
sion in the church will be noticed on
that day, as two services will be held In
almost every case, the congregations in
the main preferring to go with their
former ministers.
To-day the congregation of the East
End Reformed Presbyterian church,
one of the richest in this city, met and
gave bond to pay their pastor, Rev. o.
B. Milligan Zone of the deposed) salary
of at least 81 500 per year. He will
preach as usual, Sunday, his entire con
gregation abandoning the Reformed
Presbyterian church with him.
Rev. J. r. Milligan announces that
he will preach in Cyc!orama Hall, and
the bulk of his congregation will follow.
An Elder of this church advertises SER
vices in the old church, but empty pewS
are promised. In tact, next Sunday
will hear the tocsn of division sounded
from several pulpits, as one prominent
Reformed Presbyterian minister, the
Rev. DIR. Woodside, is out in newspa-
per article bitterly denouncing the ac-
tion of the Synod, and promises to carry
the war into the pulpit with several OF
his fellow ministers.

The Congo Treaty.

WASHINGTON, June, IA number
of inquiries have been received at the
Department Of State from philanthropic
organizations as to the failure OF the
United States Government to signify its
adherence TO the Congo treaty, the final
ratihcations OF which must be ex-
changed before the end Of the month.
This treaty is an agreement to suppress
the slave trade, the sale of breech-load.
ing fire arms and intoxicants in the
Congo district. The State Department
says it is not improbable that the treaty
will go into effect at the ap
pointed time in respect to all Of
the signatures except the United States,
and that will be left open to this Gov
ernment to give its adhesion hereafter.
After a long debate the treaty was re-
jected by the last Congress, but as a mo-
ton to reconsider was entered the mat
ter was still pending. Among other
things it was urged that it would be un-
wise for the United States to give
recognition to the present rather broad,
and in some cases doubtful claims OF
European nations to the best portions
Of Africa, which are tacitly recognized
by the treaty.

advice of the Attorney General, must

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June l2.-The
deeper the expert accountants probe
into the affairs of ex-City Treasurer
Bardsley, the more apparent the raScali-
,ies Of the man becomes and the enOr-
nous sums which he made away with
are daily added TO. Yesterday the ac-
rountants reported TO Mayor Stuart
,hat they had discovered grave dis
serepancy in BardSley'S accounts with
,be state. In the statement furnished
the Mayor, it shows:
States appropriations TO the City Of
philadelphia, for commOn schools, tor
the year ending June 80, 1890, $685.
42S %.
Cash paid into the city treasury by
Jobn BardSley, July 81, 1890, 500, 900,
leaving balance not paid in OF S25,-

For the school year ending June 80,
1891:
Cash received by John Bardsley from
the State, December 81, 1890, Si2O,OOO.
No part Of the above amount has been
been paid into the city treasury
As far as aScertained, it appears that
this sum Of S42O, 900, received for the
school year ending June 30, 1891 to-
gether with the balance Of S25, 2S.23
for the year 1890, making together the
sum Of S445, ,42S.23, has been used by
John BardSley.
The Mayor at once asked State Treas
urer Bower for statement OF the moneys
paid BardSley by the State for this pur-
nose i'm the last six months.
Treasurer Boyer replied that on the
3lst OF December, there was paid TO
Bardsley i'm three checks the sum OF
S42O. 600. 1t is SurmiSed that BardSley
used part Of the S445,OOO to take mp the
bad checks of the Keystone bank for
SEQ, 900 that he was carrying as cash.

alleged conspiracy between Bardsley
and Yard was discovered by the experts
on Wednesday. On that night the war
rant was sworn out and placed
in the hands OF the city detec-
tives to serve. The detectives located
him at Belmar, sea shore resort on
the Jersey coast. On Thursday morn
ing the officers went down to Belmar
but found that Yard had left there that
morning going to New York. A detec-
tive was dispatched TO New York. The
officer on arriving in that city,
traced Yard 10 Trenton and
so informed the authorities here. The
Trenton authorities were communicated
with and they arrested Yard there this
afternoon. Application will be made to
Gov. Albeit tomorrow for tie reQuisi-
ton, and as soon as it is granted Yard
will be brought here.

Preliminary Contest.
Special TELEGRAM TO the Rsotster.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, June 12.-The
preliminary skirmish for probate OF the
paper writing purporting to be the will
proponent examined seven witnesses,
j. r. Adams, b. b. Stout, s. K. Steele,
j. r. Boggess, N. Coplin, f. Y. Horner
and j. c. Vance, who substantially tes-
titled that they believed the will was ia
the handwriting of G. d. Camden,
except Col. Coplin, who was undecided
on that point. The County Court
having refused to permit the new will,
a copy of which appeared in yesterdays
REGISTER, to be read in evidence, the
contestants excepted and had bill Of
exceptions duly sigAed and entered on
record. Consequently the investigation.
to the surprise of every one, was sudden
ly terminated, the contestants declin-
ing to offer any testimony. The Court
then ordered that the will offered for
probate by Mrs. Camden be admitted to
record, The contestants Immediately
appealed from the decision TO the Cir
cult Court, filing their petition, upon
which an issue will be made to try the
question as to which of the papers is
the true will of Judge Camden.
1t did not appear in the case, but it
was rumored that about two years ago
Judge Camden left sealed paper sup
posed to contain his will with DR.. j. L.
Carr, of this city. The report is con-
firmed, the envelope being produced by
DR.. Carr, and it was opened yesterday
in the presence of several citizens of
this place, but to the surprise of all it
contained noahing but sheet Of folded
foolscap paper. Just what this means
is now the topic of discussion.
