DAVID Is MAD.
More Regarding the Trouble in the
Dunkard Church.
David pyero Refuses to Give Any In
formation Regarding the Report'-Hs
Don't Like Heporters No How.

David Byers, proprietor OF the Union
Hotel, in North Market street, was slightly
out Of humor this morning.
In fact Daniel Byers was mad.
A reporter of this paper was informed
that charges had been made against BY
ers by members of the Dunkard CHURCH,
OF which Byers Is also member. Inc
nature OF those charges was not stated to
che reporter by the member who gave him
the information, but Byers was called up
on at his hotel, and he talked freely re-
pardinR the matter. Thinking the re-
porter knew the nature OF the charges
against him Byers rehashed the whole af-
church trouble. The whole story of the
trouble was obtained from Byers himself,
though he probably thought he wasn't
giving anything away which was not al
ready known TO the reporter.
However, the story came out and was
published as given by Byers, with the ex-
ception that IL was not n member of the
but an ordinary boartler. The fact re-
mains, however, that someone was fore
IDLY elected by the irate landlord. 49,
The committee which investigated the
charges against Byers reported to the
church conference yesterday, and Byers
was present at the meeting ihe report
er's call on Byers this morning was for
the purpose of ascertaining just what the
report of the committee was, as Byers had
stated in previous interview that he bad
been informed that the report would be
favorable to him..
The proprietor OF the Union Hotel
does not entertain an ardent affection for
reporters, and wasn't a bit glad to see the
News. DEMOCRAT representative. In tact
the latter was informed that Byers rather
preferred that he would not call at all.
From the i'll humor displayed by the hotel
keeper IL is fair to assume that oil Is not
rosy in church mattersy and that the COM
mittee report was not altogether favora-
BILE to him. He declined 10 state the ma
ture Of the committees report, as he said
IL was against the orders Of the church to
talk OF church matters 70 outsiders, and
any one who did so was not good and
faithful member Of the church body.
Byers failed TO remember that the ma
ture of the charges preferred against him
were first made public by himself, and he
therefore stands convicted by his own as
sertion that those who talk are not faith
full. 1t is not definitely known whether
or not there Is an order of the church
against talking, but IL there Is, Byers GER
tainly violated it.
The Union Hotel man seems to have a
lurking suspicion that the HKwS.D DBMo-
Graf will suppress legitimate news for
the accommodation of those who desire
such news suppressed, but be is laboring
under q delusion. The reporter, who
really enjoyed his visit with Byers, was
informed that the said Bsers would be
thankful IL all newspaper men would stay
out OF his hotel, as he didnt want them
there at any time. 1t is altogether proba-
BILE, however, that when there is any news
of interest in that vicinity, and OF late
there has been considerable, much of IL of
a very unsavory variety, the reporters
will be there en- mass.
