The Trouble ut Oivet Presbyterian
Church Settled at Meeting of the
Congregation.

The Trouble at Oiivet Presbyterian
Church Settled at Meeting of the
Congregation.
The trouble between the Rev. I. E.
Montgomery, pastor of Olivet Presbyterian
Church, and the four elders, was settled
recently at a meeting of the congregation.
-Four new elders were elected to take the
place of those who resigned. The election
was held after the regular Wednesday
evening prayer meeting.
When the prayer meeting was over Mr..
Montgomery said that he supposed all
present had heard the announcement that
there would be an election for elders, and
all in favor of this to arise. Before the
question could be voted on, David Nc
Henry, one of the elders who resigned,
stood up and was about to say something,
but Mr.. Montgomery, who acted rs mod
orator, told him that a statement would be
out of order. The four elders who resigned
and some of their friends held whis-
pered conversation, which was cut short
by the pastor, who asked for all in favor
of an election to stand up
There were 70 persons who favored an
election, and % opposed it, Nominations
were then made and the following were
elected elders to take the place of those re.
signed: Elijah Green, Charles Rummell,
George Bradford and S. S. johnson. After
the election Mr.. Montgomery ordained the
elders and delivered the charge. Two of
the elders who have resigned have been
given certificates to other churches.
The faction who is against the pastor has
not dropped the matter, but will carry it
to the presbytery.

On March 10Th the beamers went out on

When times were good the beamers easily
made $l4 per week but after the business
depression came on the wages were re.
duced % per cent, or until they averaged
about Sl0.50 week, Even with this scale
of wages the firm with difficulty managed
to keep the mills in operation, but the
workmen were disposed to believe that
they ought to get more,
Accordingly committee awaited on the
superintendent of tine mills who declined 10
advance the scale of wages and conse.
Quentlv the men went ont on strike about
four weeks ago. The result; of the strike
was that the mills Immediately had to

SENATE TO BE REPUBLICAN
Democrats Will Not Oppose
Its Organization.
MORRILL, FOR FINANCE CHAIRMAN
He Will Not Yield on Account
of Advanced Years.


WASHINGTON, April TO- There is gem
eral expression of opinion among Demo-
cratic Senators remaining in the city that
the Republicans will certainly reorganize
the Senate at the opening of the next Con-
gress. Senator Voorhees,, who is now chair
man OF the committee ON finance, has no
doubt that the Republicans will organize
that committee. He states that the Demo
Gratis will make no opposition. in his jndg-
ment. to change of control of the Senate,
and that he himself expects to surrender
the Craftsmanship of the committee on f.
nance to Senator Morrill, ct the beginning
of the next session. There has been some
unccnsdered talk that. in case of change
Senator Sherman would be chosen as head
of the committee on finance in the place of
Senator Morrill,, who, according to Gus
tom, as the Oldest member of continu-
Gus service, would naturally be selected
Secretary VOORHEES, does not believe that
any such reversion of caucus usage
will be mad. He calls attention to the fact
that, in spite of Senator Morrills advanced
years, he is as young as many Younger
men i'll the Senate, Senator Morrill, has
for number of Congresses past made a
speech during every session upon the
financial question, and only recently an
nnunced his intention to stand for re-
election at the expiration of his term of
Office two years hence. To yield to Sena
tors Sherman, Allison or Aldrich, or any
other Senator whose name has been dis
cussed i'll this connection, would be a con-
fesslon of failing physical and mental
powers which Senator Morrill, is not likely
to make, and in the absence Of such ces-
sion of his rights to the Craftsmanship 1t is
IN the highest degree improbable that the
Republican caucus would .humiliate Sena-
tor Morrill, by choosing another Senator
for the position.
COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE.
With regard to the composition of the
committee when recognized, there is no
reason to believe that the advocates of the
free coinage of silver will not control. As
at present constituted. five of the six Dem
Gratis are in favor of the free coinage of
silver, and Senator Jones of Nevada. who
has been Republican but who is likely
to be retained, is the leading advocate of
free coinage in the Senate.
Senator Voorhees, is inclined to believe
that the free silver influence will possibly
be strong enough to induce the appoint
ment of n free silver Republican In Mr.
McPherson's place. Without this, how
ever, the five remaining Democrats and
Senator Jones, who is not likely to be dis
turbed on account of his long service and
strong. personal popularity, would give a
majority of the committee to the free coin
age advocates. II is thought in some quar-.
tiers that the failure Of the Delaware Legis.
lature to elect Republican Senator may
seriously embarrass, if it does not prevent,
reorganization of the Senate by Republic
cans.

Thomas N. Stayton, the King street COM
mission merchant, recently returned from
10 DAYS tour through the Peninsula for
the purpose of gaining information in re-
gard 10 the status and outlook for the
coming seasons berry, fruit and peach
harvest. The result is that at this moment
there is the best basis for as fine harvest
as the fruit growers of the Peninsula ever
experienced.
IN VIRGINIA.
In Virginia from New Church. on the
main line of the Delaware road to Cape
Charles, there are not many peach trees,
the farmers giving their attention mostly
TO truck. They are planting white potatoes.
Cabbage is set out and looks as fine us any
ever seen. One man alone will ship this
season 5000 barrels from Nassau adox.
There is quite a sprinkling of peac hes at
Exmoor. The orchards are owned largely
by Delawareans who went there alb out 10
years ago. The buds are looking we'll.
IN MARYLAND.
From Pocomoke City, coming up to
Salisbury, on the main line, the peach
trees are very full of buds aud all the
orchardmen are in good heart over the
prospects. The berries are little back
ward due to the late season. But that,
the growers say, is favorable for full
crop. They claim that the result must be
good. Then going on over the Crisfield
branch where there is here an immense
berry area covering a radius of 80 miles.
In this region the crop is almost as early
as the Virginia berry. 1t is the first in the
State of Maryland. There are plenty OF
buds and the blossom is just beginning to
appear. This is also fine early white
potato section. The tuber looks well. The
farmers have done planting and are now
awaiting fine yield.

These comments apply generally to all
the peach and berry prospects in SUSSEX
