ELLIS STILL IN 1T.
A PLAN TO GIVE HIM AN INDIE
PENDENT CHURCH.
Strife in the Congregation of the Central
Presbyterian Tabernacle-The Situa-
tion.

The tribulations of the Central Pres
| byterian tabernacle are not ended yet,
though the trial of its pastor is con-
| cluded, and from an outward view at
least, the little congregation appears to
have resumed the even tenor of its way,
says the San Francisco Chronicle of Fri
day. Beneath the surface there is strife.
The clergyman convicted of deception
| and Misrepresentation of church funds
has still steadfast following inhis con-
gregation-a following, it is said, that is
scheming against the presbytery of San
Francisco itself. 1t is now said openly
by the opponents of DR.. Ellis and his
faction that plan is on foot to sell the
church property on Golden Gate ave-
nue., and with the proceeds build new
church outside of and beyond the con-
troll of the presbytery, in order 10 estab-
lish DR.. Ellis in a permanent pulpit.
No church in the city has better To-
cation than the Central tabernacle. As
it stands the property is worth $4,000.
Under the hammer it would scarcely
bring less than $1,000. The mortgages
amount to $26,0 900, leaving neat little
margin with which to startaD independ-
ent congregation. The proposition to
sell the church property is not new, and
will probably meet with appreciation
OF the entire congregation, now thirty
strong, but the opponents of DIR. Ellis
lift their hands in holy horror and deem
it little short of schism that separation
from the presbytery should be contem-
plated. OF course majority vote of the
congregation will be needed to carry out
this plan, but Ellis friends are confident
OF their ability to muster a good round
majority, even two-thirds vote iffAee-
essary.
At the next meeting of the session, it
is said, the initial struggle will be made.
A special meeting will be called to ''de-
wise ways and means for the future of
the church" The expenses now are
$3.50 month, $100 of which is for in
terest on mortgages. Either the prop
erty must go under the hammer at once
or new mortgage be raised. Every
one accepts this as inevitable, but the
opponents of the convicted pastor will
fight tooth and nail the proposition to
found an independent church.

cluded in Paris, the Rothschilds made
demands in regard to the treatment ol
Hebrews in Russia, which the Russian
minister of finance rejected. ''The

the blackboard, and the children being
required to copy the sums and supply
the answers. A little bundle of colored
sticks lay upon each desk, and the
children used them as count
ers to assure themselves of the
correctness of their figuring.
The lesson was about over and the re-
porter noticed that the figures made by
the little ones were neat and the an
swers to the sums generally correct. A
child in each row collected the pencils
and placed them in their cases, these
monitors being responsible for the pen
ellis given out in the line under their
charge, and an extra pencil returned to
one little fellow caused him great deal
OF trouble until he learned that it had
been supplied by the teacher after the
others had been given out.
The whole room was given a lesson
upon finger nails. ''What are finger
nails good for ?" was the question asked,
and here are some of the replies elected ::
'tTo scratch yourself with )" "to open
knife J" ''to pick up pins off the floor"
''to peel oranges" Then the teacher
explained that they were also good
for protecting the fingers, and af-
ter eliciting the opinion that finger
nails should be kept clean and neat,
assented to by the whole class, they
tackled spelling lesson, and were deep
in words of one and two sylables when
the reporter left.
The room in which these children
were taught was bright with flowers and
pictures. An organ stood upon the
platform, and there was no restraint ap-
parent, though the order was excellent,
The little ones were kept interested the
entire time, and the lessons changed
enough to keep them from becoming
wearisome, even to such very little

PIrrsBURG, Pa, May 9.-The Post is
authority for the statement that the
affairs of the Westinghouse Electric
company are definitely and satisfactorily
settled. Negotiations for placing pre-
ferred stock have been completed. Pitts
burg parties have taken 100000 worth !;
Bostonepeople 81 ,400, 900, and New York
capitalists, among them August Bel
mont, jr., have promised to take the re-
naming million. The details are not to
be made public until the meeting next
week. 1t is stated that among the Bos-
ton parties who came to the Westing-
house company's aid were the Thomson
Houston company and Edison Electric
company, which, if true, may mean that
the three great companies will hereafter

A Complicated Business.

New YORK, May 8. 9.-McBride Brothers

cifc Tea company, having branches in
the states OF New York, Massachusetts,
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Missouri, made an as
signment today without preferences.
The firm did business in teas, coffees
and other groceries, and had headquar-
ters in this city.
The assignment was caused by the
inadequacy of the firms capital to keep
running its extensive and complicated
business. 1t is said the firm had been
doing business of $1,50O,0O0 year
and had been in existence more than
ten years. At the Office of the company

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Its Early Completion Probable and of the
Highest Importance.

Its Early Completion Probable and of the
Highest Importance.
New YORK, May 9.-Warner Miller,
who has just returned from Greytown,
Nicaragua, says in regard to the canal :
Few people have any idea of the value
of the canal to this country, but think
ing men know that it is an absolute me-
cesslty. | had long chat with Secre-
tary of Navy Tracy, and he spoke of the
imperative necessity OF the canal. He
said to me- In war alone it would be Of
incalculable value. In such state Of
affairs as exists at present between the
United States and Chile, l could send
the West India squadron into the Pa
cific ocean inside of forty-eight hours
That is now impossible, and
we must virtually sustain two
navies. If the canal existed in fact, the
money now spentfor the maintenance of
the Pacific squadron, could be expended
for the benefit of the navy in its en-
tirety, and the facility with which either
ocean could be reached would enable
us to save money in repairs and equip
ments.
1.-THE canal will positively be finished
in six years." concluded Mr.. Miller.
'It will take about $75, 100000 to finish
1t, and at present we have spent only
about s5,000,000 Our plans are perfect
and we know to pound how much we
must excavate."

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Fruit Injured Over Large Part of the
East by Frosts.

East by FrOsts.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The weekly
weather crop bulletin says: The weather
during the past week was generally un-
favorable to growing crops, owing to
unusually low temperature and de-
ficiency in the rainfall over the greater
portion of all the agricultural districts
of the Rocky mountains. The previous
rapid growth in the central valleys and
northwest has been greatly interrupted
by the cold wave which extended as far
south as the gulf and South Atlantic
states during the week, attended by
damaging frosts as far south as Tennes
see and the Carolinas. While the frosts
did little damage to the staple crops, it
is generally believed that early fruits
are seriously damaged in Ohio and the
Mississippi valley. Missouri reports
that in the eastern and central counties,
grapes were greatly injured, and corn
and potatoes cut to the ground. In
Dakota high winds, with frosts, did
some injury to wheat oats, barley and
fruit. Reports from Michigan are con-
hicting as to the damage by frost, while
in Ohio the damage is estimated at from
40 to 80 per cent. In Kentucky all the
fruits suffered severely; grapes are
ruined, and many gardens have to be
replanted. In California hay, straw
berries and cherries were slightly dam
aged by rain. Other crops are vastly
improved. In Oregon the weather was
beneficial, but more rain is needed east
of the Cascade range. Frosts did little
or no damage.

Dried Fruit Market.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The Commercial
Bulletin says: The market for nearly
everything in the line of dried fruits,
California goods in particular, is in
rather poor shape. The encouragement
holders were inclined to look for early
in the week, when the weather condi-
tions threatened to injure the crops,
more or less, seems to have passed like
1eeting shadow, now that the temper
ature has risen and no very serious
damage has been discovered. With no
incentive to buying, except as immedi-
ate wants necessitate, jobbers act very
indifferently, and do nothing that would
tend to relieve the depression.
