WHELAN's TROUBLES.
Some of His Creditors Declare That
They Cannot Find Him.


They Cannot Find Him.
James W. Whelan, the young real
estate broker, whose domestic infelicities
were set forth in The SUNDAY MORNING
NEws some time ago. is in trouble again.
and some of bis creditors, who have been
looking for him during the past week,
declare that they have been unable to
find him. Whelan succeeded John Glib
son some years ago, who was one of the
most successful real estate brokers in
this city, and who did large. bus siness.
But for some cause or other Whelan was
unable To do the business his predecessor
did. He maintained the same office on
the first floor of No. a Montgomery
street, and for while was sup
posed to be doing a thriving business.
But after a while he fell behind in his
rent. and complaints were heard that he
did not pay over rents which he had col
lected.
When his landlord, F. H. Spengeman,
insisted upon having his rent, he says
that Nhelan told him that he would
assign TO him moneys which were due to
him from two loan and building associa-
tions which met in the office Shortly
after that Mr.. Spen2eman declares he dis
covered that Whelan had transferred
these moneys to other parties whereupon
ne levied upon Whalen's effects and had
them sold by a constable.
Whelan collected over $50 of rents for
Mrs Mary Gown andfailed to turn over
the money to her. Mrs. Cowan secured a
judgement against him through her coun-
sci, Assemblyman Potts, aud it was to
her that Wnelan transferred a portion Of
the money which MI. Spengman says he
promised him

THE BACK PEWS EMPTY.
Greenville Young Church
People We're on Their
Good Behavior
Yesterday.

The story which was exciusely pub
lished in The NEWS Of last Saturday
about the sensational remarks made by
the Rev. w. p. Bruce at the close Of FRI
dav nights prayer meeting. was the sole
topic of conversation In that section yes
terday. The large church was crowded
at yesterday mornings service. but those
present were disappointed at seeing a
strange preacher In The pulpit. The Rev.
w. Bruce had gone to Fort Plains, N y,
TO preach in the Reformed Church at
that place.
EXCITED CHURCH PEOPLE.
After the service, however. the deacons
and elders of the church were besieged
by excitedirhrongs who were anxious to
get what additional Information they
could. The elders and deacons were as
dumb as oysters, however, and not one
word OF Information could be elicited.
A copy of yesterdays NEWS could not
be had for love nor money, the news
dealers having sold every copy long be-
fore eight O'Clock One copy OF the paper
was sold for 81
4 1t was long after one o'clock before the
church was closed the sexton not being
able to close 1t before that time on ac-
count of the excited throngs who staid
there Hntil that time to discuss the
matter. The back pews for once were
deserted and probably for the first time
in great many years the boys and girls
could be seen occupying the very front
pews- The strange preacher who knew
nothing OF the trouble opened his eyes in
wonder at seeing the young people in trout
and afterwards remarked to a cOmunicant
that for the first time in his career as a
preacher he had seen all the young people
In the front pews, and compliinented the
church for having such large number
of pious young people. The flirting young
man and the giggling young girl were
nowhere to be seen.
THEY DENY 1T ALL.
Thomas Reid and Robert Schultz. the
two young men who were accused by the
consistory of flirting at Friday nights
prayer meeting, were visited by NEWS
reporter, and both emphatically denied
that they had ever firted in church
connected with the church would visit
the Rev. Bruce on Wednesday evening
and demand an explanation.
Robert Schultz said that whoever said
that he fiirted in church is liar, even II
it is the minister. That the trouble will
not end here is evident, as the fathers OF
both of the young men are indignant and
will see the Rev. Bruce aud will also de-
mand an explanation. As Tom Reid's
father is q deacon and Bob Schultz's
father an elder, interesting times may be
looked for.
MEMBERS REsIGNING.
Several prominent members OF the
church have already signihed their inten-
ton of resigning. The Rev. w. 2. Bruce
is expected to return today, aud it is ex-
pected that a meeting of the consistory
will be held tomorrow evening to talk the
matter over.

Lookout mountain stood there, showing
its dark and gloomy front while tho
granite wall above the railroad track
was as cold, dreary and forbidding as
anything could be. The morning wore,
and the discomfort OF the poor, young
soldiers was rather being increased
than lessened At a few minutes past
six o'clock change came. A party
stood looking at the gray pile of stone
watching freight train putting slowly
along the ledge. AS they looked, the
clouds suddenly broke, and the sun,
brilliant and glorious, shone forth. AS
its rays struck upon that granite wall
it was reflected back by the myriad
Jets of water which spurted from its
sides. 1t made scene simply glorious,
in it's effect simply dazzling; it was as
if million electric sparks had suddenly
burst into life or that million dia-
monds had caught the rays of the sun
and sent them back to that band OF
comfortless and disheartened men. The
sight was one to cheer, and distressed
as every one felt they could not help it,
they gave one loud and long hurrah for
the glorious sunlight. Jack Fuller, in

Sore Disappointment of Hunter Who
Missed Ibex.

Missed an 1bex.
The ibeX is of light-brown color,
the males being rather darker than the
females; but the oldest males undergo
a complete change in appearance, be-
coming light gray, with clearly-de-
fined black shoulder stripe, which
gives them very smart appearance.
1t is sight to stir the heart of hunter
to see such a one summing himself on
some tower of rock, and, by way of
morning exercise, bending his head to
the ground and driving his sword-like
black horns into some bush of which
he "makes hay in about two minutes.

these grand old 'billies," and that l
muddled. We had taken refuge from
sharp shower in cave, or rather shelf
on the cliff, protected by long over
hanging rock. The rain drifted in, and
| Celestin carried my rifle to one end
| where it was more sheltered. We
made fire at the other end, and were
sitting over it, when, with fixed stare,
Omar pointed with his finger over my
shoulder. There, about a hundred
yards off, was splendid male ibex
| such as | have described, with black
horns which curved back nearly to his
tail. There are not more than two or
three like that ON the mountain. He
was quite unsuspicious, and calmly
moving down the mountain, on account
of the bad weather, / suppose.
Rislsing discovery, / crept to the
place where my rifle lay. Two trees
grew across that end of the opening,
and I could not shoot from there. Back
/ crawled and sat down for the shot.
He was slowly stalking down the rocks,
but still within easy range. 1 leveled
my piece, but at that moment gust of
wind blew the flame and smoke across
my line of sight, and could see moth
ing. The next instant he was round a
rock and gone. nearly turned sick
with desperation. OF course, we fol-
owed and tried to find him again--an
all but hopeless task in the complica-
tions of this hill. In the course of the
search we got wet through, and in try
