Yesterday afternoon the district stew
ards Of Dover District Of the Nj. H.
Church, convened at the district pArson
age, occupied by Rev. j. A. Wilson
on Governors avenue. A warm time was
anticipated and the members of the dis
trict were in no way disappointed, About
/ thirty OF the stewards were present.
/ The main object Of the meeting was to
/ 6x the salary OF the presiding elder, and as
this has been the main topic Of converse
tion among the stewards OF the district
FOR some time past, very warm discus
sions were indulged In. The presiding
elder, however, having had his plans cut
and dried before hand, carried his point,
though 1t is alleged, by no means in :
fair way.
There were only twenty FIVE Of the
thirty who voted, and when the matter
with regard to the salary was brought
up, a minority and majority report
WAS brought in. The minority favorinp
a 81, 200 salary and the majority a SALARY
of 81 800 Baynard Wheatly, a clos,
friend Of the elder, from Dor
chester circuit, moved that tn,
salary be fixed at s., 900, Here the elder
arose and reques ted that 1t should be the
same as that Of last year, $l,S50 This
was carried by q vote of 10 to IL
The cause Of the majority report IL
favor Of the presiding elder, was owing
to the fact that the elder out-ruled thl
delegates from Little Greek and Wyom
ing, claiming that they we're not tn,
elected delegates The minister o
Little Creek firmly asserted that Mr.
Yoshell, the delgate from Little Greek
was the duly elected representative, Rn'
had perfect right 20 a seat in the ses
sion and to q vote. Interested partie
went down TO Little Creek last nigh
to search the records as to the elec
tion OF the delegate from that place, an
ifit Is found that Mr.. Yoshell was th
:. delegate, tSgether with the Wyomin
: delegate, it is thought that an extr
o session Of the stewards will be held a
. which time the salary Of the elder wi
be reduced, as the majority would oppos
him.
