A BITTER CHURCH ROW ENDED
A Minister'S Widow Forces the ves-
try To Pay Up.

PATcHoGUE, L. l., Dec. %. 1893.-At a
meeting of the Vestry of st. Paurs Protest
ant Episcopal Church last evening it was
agreed to pay the widow of the Rev. Charles
S. Witherspoon, the pastor of the church,
who died few days ago, $3.50 which she
claimed was due her late husband for back
salary Mrs. Witherspoon held the keys of
the church and refused to give them up until
the money was paid Mrs. Witherspoon has
sent the keys to the Bishop and turned over
all the books and papers belonging to the
church.
This, so far as Mrs. Witherspoon is con
cerned, ends one of the bitterest church rows
on Long Island.
The Vestry charged the Rev. Witherspoon
with misrepresenting the financial standing
of the church and with misappropriating its
denied and fought his accusers with much
bitterness. The accusations caused split
in the church and many families hereabout,
who were previously the best of friends, are
now enemies. Mrs. Witherspoon will re-
move from here at once to the adjoining vii
lage, Bellport.
The funeral services over the remains of
the Rev. Witherspoon were conducted yes
terday, the Rev. Father Gamble, of New
York City, and the Rev. Degarmo, High
Church Episcopalian of Philadelphia
officlated. Many prominent clergymen
acted as pail bearers.
The Rev. Witherspoon came here from
Fort Madison, Iowa, ove5 year ago. He
was an earnest worker, Lnd it is said by his
wife that his end was hastened by worriment
over the troubles in his church.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1S92-The great
haste with which the members of the House
of Representatives left the city for their
homes to spend the Christmas holidays was
apparent this morning The chamber of
the Lower House was almost completely
deserted save by few members who,
through force of habit, wended their way to
the Capitol and. were seen at their desks en-
gagged in correspondence. There was a
casual visitor here and there, and with the
exception of the few necessary employees in
the Chamber, it was devoid of the slightest
animation.
1t was decided at the secret meeting held
by the democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee this afternoon that the next
meeting should be postponed un-
til the night OF January l., when
all of the Democratic members of the
committee are expected to assemble at the
Treasury Department and finally decide
upon the internal revenue schedules. Rep
resentative Breckenridge of Arkansas
was the only member of the committee who
spent any time in the committee room
this morning. Several others, including
Bourke Cochran, dropped in for few min
utes, but no conference of a formal or in
formal nature was held.
Absolutely nothing will be done by the
committee until after the recess" said Mr.
Breckinridge. "Some of the members have
already left the city, and others contemplate
doing so, SO that it will be impossible for the
committee to get together and decide upon
any changes.
A prominent Democratic member of the
committee is authority for the statement
that the committee has practically decided to
adopt the recommendation of Secretary Car
isle that an additional tax of ten cents a
gallon be put upon whiskey."

M0NSON'S, SCOTCH YER
DICT.'
By Gable to the United Press.

EDINBURGH, Dec. 22, 1S93.-The jury in
the Monson case has returned a verdict of
"Not Proven;o
Lord Justice Clerk, the Rt Hon. j. H. A.
Macdonald, before whom and a jury the
trial of Alfred John Monson, for the murder
of Lieutenant Hambrough was
held, summed up the evidence for
the benefit of the jury this morning.
He said that the evidence against the accused
was purely circumstantial and, therefore, it
was necessary that there should be no flaw
or break in the chain of testimony.
The case, he added, unveiled a
dark side of social life Major
Hambrough, father of the deceased, had run
through his means, and his life interest in
certain property had been mortgaged to
pay his debts. Thus he was unable to edu-
cate his son except by arranging for post
poned payments to the accused. After
his son had been placed in the care of Mon
son Major Hambrough came to distrust the
accused and desired to remove his son. The
latter naturally preferred living with people
who were' surrounded with certain
external affluence rather than to
share the squalid lodgings occupied by his
parents. Hence there was a certain es-
arrangement between father and son, which
placed the latter further under the influence
of Monson,

MAYOR PAGAN AHEAD.
O'Hara's Application for Nam
damus Refused


Mayor Pagan has received advice that the
Supreme Court of New Jersey has sustained
him in the course he adopted in refusing to
sign the salary warrant, amounting to $780,
that Corporation Attorney Minturn
claimed due. The amount was for services
rendered to the Commissioners of Adjust
ment. The case has been thoroughly dis
cussed in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS. The
Mayors contention was that the office was
not made salaried one until after Mr. Min
turn had been there month Mr. Minturn
wanted pay for the month which he served
previous to the resolution passed by the
Council stipulating salary for the Office
Mr.. Minturn will fight the case still. He
said, in speaking of the discussion, this
morning:
''It is truly stated now that the Supreme
Court has decided the O'Hara case in favor
of the Mayor. The decision means simply
this-that until a Judgment is recovered
against the city for the claim, the court will
not compel the Mayor to sign the warrant.
The result, therefore, will be that Mr..
O'Hara will sue the city to recover the
amount due, and when the court decides
that case the matter will be finally deter
mined. The present case was one against
the Mayor personally to compel him to do an
official act. The next case will be against
the city to recover money due. As / am
interested in the result I have advised Mr..
O'Hara to place the case in Judge McDer-
motifs hands. have seen Judge McDer-
mott, and he is satisfied that the city must

THE HOFFMAN HOUSE FIGHT.

w. f. Id. Stokes's Efforts to Get the
Books TO New Jersey Failed.
In Chancery Chambers before Vice Chan
cellor Green this morning counsel for Mr.. w.
E. D. Stokes of New York moved to have
the books of the Hoffman House corporation
produced in court
This movement was made on account of
Edward s. Stokes's attitude yesterday in
having himself appointed receiver of the
concern.
Between the cousins a long series of legal
fights have taken place over the famous hos
telry, and when the case came up TODAY there
We're mixed up in it Counsellors A. O..
Keasbey, Charles j. Peshall, ex-Mayor
Oakley Hall of New York, W. R. Martin,
Elijah S. Cowles John ]. Adams and Sena-
tor W. Brinkerhoff
Mr. Keasbey, in asking for an order to
compel Ed. S. Stokes to bring in the books,
argued that since the corporation is
under the laws of the State on
September 2, 1890, it must keep it's books in
the State as the New Jersey law expressly di-
reefs
Counsellor Adams, for E. S. Stokes,
claimed that the motion should not prevail
because it was not made in good faith. Coun-
sci insisted that w. E. D. Stokes was only
trying to bring the books from New York to
lnJure the corporation on account of private
an1mus between the cousins. Counsel, in
proof of this, read letter from W.
Z. D. Stokes, who terms his
cousin, Murderer, gambler and ingrate,'
and another in which he swears he will
publish true account of the murder of Jim
Fisk by Edward s. Stokes and the latter's
pull with the police" all of which would be
mighty interesting matter to read. Mr.
Adams further charged that Mr.. w. E. D.
Stokes is endeavoring to get the books over
here in order to compel his cousin Edward
to buy from him his stock and goods
Counsel having agreed that the books could
be examined, the matter was laid over until
this afternoon for the Vice Chancellor's
order
This afternoon, the Vice Chancellor
ordered that counsel for w. E. D. Stokes
may examine the books in room in the
Hoffman House for five days, from nine
o'clock in the morning to five at night. If
@ counsel are hampered by. Ed. Stokes, they
can renew their application to bring the
books to New Jersey

FAKE BOMBS IN PARIS.

b" Gable to the United Press.
PARIS, December %, 1S93.-The police con-
tinue to receive a large number of suspicious
looking packages, supposed by their finders
to be internal machines. These packages
are either found on the streets or are ad-
dressed to individuals. Most of them on
examination prove to be harmless, and are
evidently intended to make people believe
that the Anarchists are still actively
at work Some of the packages, how
ever, are really dangerous. For instance
one found a few days ago on
the window sill of the Marie of the Thir-
teenth ACCOMPLISHMENT, was found to con-
tain quantity of blasting powder and sew
enty revolver cartridges. A fuse had been
attached to the package, but it had, owing
to some defect in its arrangement. burned
out without causing an explosion. On the
package were inscribed the words:-sDeath
to the Bourgeoisie."
Auguste Valiant, the Anarchist under ar
rest for causing the explosion in the Cham
Der Of Deputies, which crime he has con-
fessed, has received donations amounting to
5000 francs since he was lodged in prison.

OODINA's ARREST AFFORDS RELIEF.
BIZ Gable to the united Press.

LONDON, Dec. %, 1881 despatch from
Madrid to the Central News says that the
arrest of Jose Codina, who has confessed that
he was the author of the bomb explosion in
the Lyceum Theatre at Barcelona, has afford
harassed by police visitations to their homes.
Hundreds of families are in great distress,
lacking the necessaries of life, owing to the
wholesale arrest of men who were suspected
of being implicated in Anarchistic plots.
One of the men in custody, soapmaker,
named Mariana Ceruelo, has confessed that
he assisted Pallas in his attempt to assassi-
nate General Martinez de Campos at BARGE
Iona. He also says that he acted as con-
federate to Codina in planning and causing
the explosing in the Lyceum Theatre.
The police believe that the evidence they
have secured as to Anarchist plots in BARGE
Iona is now complete.

BALLOT LAW REFORM.
Recommendation at the State Grange
Convention.
Special to the Jersey City Neacs.

Special to the Jersey City Neaos
TRENTON, Dec %, 1S93-At Wednesdays
session of the State Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, held in the Assembly Chamber
at the State House, Worthy Master John T.
Cox of Readington, Hunterdon County,
made number of valuable suggestions in
his annual address. In regard to legislation,
he recommended that the ballot should be
thoroughly secret to all intents and pur-
poses, and that the expense attending the
elections should be reduced as small as it
could be; that they are now entirely too ex-
pensive. He thought that all the State
officials should be elected by the direct vote
of the people, and that the salaries and fees
of State servants should be reduced
in keeping with the hard times He
thought that the Riparian Fund should not
be put to any other use than the purpose
for which it was dedicated when the
commission was created, and that is for
the support Of the common schools. In
relation to the tariff, he was not in favor of
so high a one as to create monopolists,
neither too small to be Intellectual for the
purpose intended by such legislation. The
Legislature has from time to time favored
class legislation that has necessitated the
organization of the agriculturists for protec-
tion against such legislation. He recon-
mended that the Grange in the matter of
legislation be more on. the defensive than
on the aggressive during the coming year.
The Committee on Legislation in their re-
port gave an, account of the action taken by
them last winter in reference to the bill
creating depart rtnient of agriculture. They
made no recommendations as to future legis-
lation. They emphasized the fact that the
safety of the State lay, in great measure,
to free ballot, expressing the sentiment of
the voter, and that the same shall be sur
rounded by all the safeguards, and that the
people have free and untrammeled cleo

WILSON'S DEBTS PAID.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Dec %, 1s93-The case of Mr..
Joseph Havelock Wilson, member of the
House of Commons for Middlesborough,
came up in the Bankruptcy Court today.
Mr.. Thomson addressed the Court on behalf
OF Mr.. Wilson saying that his clients debts
had been fully paid
Mr.. Wilson, who is a prominent labor
leader, was some time ago mulcted in dam
ages and costs for libelling the Allan Steam
ship Company. Subsequently he brought an
action for libel against the Daily Negs,
which had passed structures upon his man
agement of the funds of the National Sea-
mems Union, of which he is Secretory. This
case was decided against him and the Court
ordered that he pay the costs. Both cases
were appealed, and both Judgments were
upheld by the Court of Appeals. Conse-
quently nothing remained for Mr.. Wilson to
do but pay or be adjudged a bankrupt.
Should he have been declared bankrupt
he would have had to give up his seat in
Parliament. 1t is generally believed that
his friends have seen to it that the judg-
ments against him were settled.

ACTORS OUT OF WORK.
To BE Taken Care of BY Their Pro.
fessiOnal Brethren.

CHICAGO, Dec. %, 1S93.-In the first time
in the history of the Actors Fund in Chicago
aid is being furnished in cases other than
sickness and death. There are more idle
members of the theatrical profession in
Chicago than ever before known in this city.
They are from all classes and ranks known
to the stage. When the announcement of
the benefit for the poor, at the Chicago
Opera House, was made Joseph Jefferson
and others received letters asking if the in
digent members of the profession were to be
remembered. These appeals were carefully
weighed, and when the final fund was pre-
pared for distribution $500 was set aside for
the needy members of the profession.
''There never before have been so many
idle members of the profession, said Will j.
Davis, yesterday, yet they. fight harder
versity. I hope their benefit in January will
be rousing one"

LONDON, Dec %, Wentworth
Francis Dean Paul, son of Sir Edward Paul,

prussic acid. Among the papers in the room
was letter written by the deceased showing
that it was his intention to kill himself. An

MRS. FoY TO TESTIFY
Judge Tuthfll 0verrules objections
of CoughIin,s Counsel.


CHICAGO, December %, 1S93.-Judge
Tuthill, presiding at the trial of Daniel Cough
lin this morning, overruled the objection of
the defence to the admission of Mrs. Andrew
Foy's testimony, but placed certain limita-
tions upon it. ae was not prepared to rem
der a decisic ON the highly important
question of wdmitting the testimony Of
witnesses who would swear to certain
acts, conduct aud language of Coughlin's
alleged fellow-conspirators subsequent to
May 4, 1889. He said nothing in open
court about this new and sensational
phase of the case. Every available seat
and permissible standing space in the
court room was occupied by an expectant
throng of well dressed men aud women long
before the trial was resumed. The startling
developments of yesterday and the expecta-
tion that Mrs. Foy would be called again to
tell her sensational story increased the at
tendance in the court room and crowded the
corridors with people who tried in vain to
pass the police lines.
When the Judge mounted the bench, At
torney Wing approached him with law
book which contained another authority to
strengthen the objection of the defense to
the admission of post conspiracy testi-
mony against Coughlin's accomplices.
Half an hour was spent by the Judge digest
ing this new authority and other decisions
OOOhSo
aside he raised his head to say
81 overrule the objection to Mrs. Foy' IS
testimony. I understand she is to testify
only to what she saw All statements which
refer to her husband and might implicate
him must be excluded. Call Mrs. Foy."
But the prosecuting attorneys did not
call Mrs Foy then. They made their coup
d etat yesterday, and intended to take
their time about calling her today. In
stead line of evidence affecting the dead
conspirator O'Sullivan was taken up
Henry McGrath, foreman of the Lake View
Record Printing and Publishing Company,
four years ago, and his employer at that
time, r. T. Stanton, testified that O'Sulivan,
the iceman, came to the office and
had some business cards printed, leaving
sample copy. Both witnesses identified the
card left at Conkling's house by the con-
spirator who called to take the doctor away
as one of those printed for O'Sullivan on his
order. A portion of the cards We're de-

WORK OF CONGRESS- THUS FAR.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1s93.-The House
of Representatives made pretty good use of
its sixteen days ante-holiday session Some
thirty bills were sent over to the Senate
They include bills for the admission of Utah
and Arizona to the Union as states, bill to
regulate the employment of engineers and
other officers ON steam vessels, several meas
ures relative to the land laws, besides urgent
deficiency and Chinese exclusion appropria-
tion bills and a number of other measures of
less Importance. The New Mexico statehood
bill was discussed and general debate on it
nearly closed. And the conference report on
the New York and New Jersey Bridge bill
was agreed to,
