Tho wetmore's Condition Unchanged

EMPIRE CITY, Or. Sept. 12.-There is no
perceptible change in the condition of the
whaleback steamer Wetmore this morn
ing. She is still lying side to the break
ers. which at high tide pass clean over her.
The gang planks connecting her foremost
and mainmast have been washed away.
Herentire five masts seem to have pitched
forward. and the theory is advanced by
some that the steamer is hogged little.
James Griffith, manager of the Wetmore,
arrived here yesterday, and, with Capt.
O'Brien, took lifeboat and four sailors
and went down to the wreck, but were un-
able to get on board. Griffith said that he
would not be able to state what steps
would be taken, whether to get her off or
not. until he could board the ship and ex-

WESTMINSTER, B. c., Sept. 12--[Special j.
Findlay McRae, late OF Durham. Ont,
and for several terms warden of the county
Of Grey and reeve of Glenelg, in that
county, committed suicide in the river
opposite this city on Saturday night. He
left letter with friend saying that he
was going out for a row and would try to

If he didn't manage his personal effects
were to be distributed as the letter in

He went out in a boat and when in the
middle of the river he jumped overheard.
He made no effort to swim, but shouted
loudly. Strange to say he did not sink,
but when assistance reached him he was
dead. His remains were buried this after
noon. McRae, some years ago, was one
of the most prominent men socially. polit-
ically and financially in County Grey. He
lost his entire fortune in Manitoba specu-
lations and drifted west to this city, where
he had been bookkeeper at the Queens
hotel for two years. Dependency is set
down as the cause of suicide.

MRS. OSBORNE RELEASED.

LONDON. May Ever since Mrs. Flor
ence Z. Osborne was sentenced to nine
months Imprisonment for her theft of the
pearls from her friend Mrs Hargreayes,
and her subsequent perjury in connection
with the libel suit she brought against
Mrs. Hargreaves after being charged with
the theft, her friends have exerted every
influence to secure her release. Petitions
were presented to Mr.. Matthews, the
home secretary, praying for release,
among them being one from some
of the most prominent physicians
of London. It was argued by
many persons that the state had
no right to put the stigma of
prison birth upon the child to be borne by
Mrs. Osborne This and other arguments
were brought to bear upon the home secre-
tary with the result that lie has issued an
order for Mrs. Osborne's release. This
was served upon the warden of the Hollo-
way prison and she was liberated Cap
tain Osborne, who has done everything in
his power TO aid and comfort his wife,
was at the prison with his carriage. In
this Mrs. Osborne was replaced and was at
once driven to the residence of her bus
bands parents. During the past week
Mrs. Osborne was utterly Frustrated and
fear was entertained that if kept longer in
prison it would result fatally to her.

A PRIEST With A GIN.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The congrega-
tiou of st. Paurs Roman Catholic church,
Burlington, y. j., was greatly excited
yesterday morning when Father Treacy
forced one of his parishioners from the
edihce at the point of revolver. The
cause which led TO the remarkable scene
was the attention being paid by Charles.
Massey, Protestant, to Nellie @Gayner,
a IS years old, and a daughter Of
Mathew Gaynor, a member of Father
Treacg,s church. The Gayuor residence
being near the priests house, Father
Treacey noted with displeasure the init
macy Of the couple. The priest finally in
terviewed the father of the girl and told
him that Massey's visits should cease or
he must consider his church relations
severed. Yesterday morning when Mr..
Gaynor entered the church be found his
pew locked against him. While in the act
of prayer Father Treacy rushed down the
aisle and ordered Gaynor from the church
The latter refused TO leave the building.
and the priest, now thoroughly inturiated.
hastened to the chancel and grasping a

METHODIsTS IN COUNCIL.
The Lay Delegates Garry Their Point at
lhe 0uadrenniaI Conference.

OMAHA, May 2.-The twenty-fourth
quadrennial conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church was called to order at
Boyd's opera house this morning by
Bishop Bowman. DR.. S. Monroe was
elected permanent secretary. The entire
morning session was devoted to discus
sion of the proposition to seat the lay dele
gates separate from the clergy.
During the discussion DR.. John Lanahan
said that he wished to congratulate the
laymen upon this demand He had al
Gays believed that the laymen had been
at great disadvantage in sitting among
the ministers IN the conference. He be-
lieved that the laymen would have more
influence and power in the conference by
being seated separately.
Mr.. Shinkle of Kentucky vigorously
combated the idea Of separate seating.
The church is not a divided body. 1t is
one church for ministers and laymen.
Mr.. Murray oil Pennsylvania, a lay dele
gate, said that they were glad to do honor
TO the ministers, but they wanted to be
seated by themselves for the influence it
would give them in the conference One
advantage the proposed order of things
would give would be the possibility of con-
ferring together. They merely wanted to
be placed on an equality with the ministers.
Mr. Field of Philadelphia said that there
was no thought of arousing antagonism
between the laymen and the ministers.
The desire was to create closer union by
placing the laymen where they tcould do
the most for the interest they represented,
DR.. j. NJ. Buckley. editor of the Christian
Advocate, of New York City, said that the
object of giving the laymen representation
in the conference was not to Increase the
size of the body, but to secure the assis-
tance of the laymen in the framing of the
laws of the church. Had the laymen been
given fair chance to exercise equal
power with the ministers? DR.. Buckley
thought not.
f. H. Root of Buffalo, layman, spoke
in opposition to the setarate seating
scheme. He wished to see harmony and
unity all through, and he believed that
separate seating would result in the
semblance at least, of discord and lack
of unity of purpose.
After a long wrangle, during which
many amendments and counter motions
were made, the conference decided to al
low the lay delegates who so desired to
select seats separate from the ministerial
delegates.
On motion of Dr.. Pullman section of
the hall was set apart for the lay delegates
This evening the delegates were given
reception by the mayor and city council.
