| A short business session of the mem
bers of the Baptist Church was held Sum-
day morning after the regular service was
over, at which the pastor, Rev DIR. s. Gift
fard Nelson, rendered his resignation,
which is to take effect on the Both of next
November.
The fact that such action would be
taken was made known on Saturday by
DR.. Nelson himself, and to many it was
not surprise.
The minister calmly read his resigna-
ton and then retired from the room, after
requesting immediate action to be taken
upon it. He said he exercised his right
to tender his resignation and that the
cause which prompted it was well known
to every one. He requested the members
not to discuss the subject with him, but
referred those who wished to know the
full particulars to Judge Gaskill and Mark
R. Sooy. He promised to do all he could
to narrow the breach that now exists in
the church, previous to his leaving.
John D. Clevenger acted as chairman,
and after referring to the subject, Judge
Gaskill arose and said he deeply regretted
that he was compelled to listen to the
reading of the resignation. He felt salts
fed that Dr. Nelson would not be pleased
if action was not taken. Mr.. Gaskill
eulogized the pastor in fitting terms. He
said he never knew man with deeper
sense of piety and one more ready to
build up church. The church, he con-
tinued, will lose a Christian gentleman,
orator and scholar. He moved that the
resignation be accepted. The motion was
seconded and carried without any further
comment not over a dozen members
voting.
1t is certainly true that DR.. Nelson is
one of the ablest men who ever occupied
the Baptist pulpit. He is thoroughly
Christianized, scholarly and polished
gentleman and trained journalist. and
his departure from Mount Holly will be a
great loss to the community.

for Offices.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, September l.
Politics in old Wood are livening up at
a great rate and the next campaign
promises to be a hummer. The main
fight Of the two leading parties in the
county appears to be on the sheriffalty
question, and the Republicans have al
ready brought to the front several can-
didates adapted to excite fear and seem
to feel that the plum is theirs.
Col. Charles Wade, who was defeated
at the last election by the present in
cumbent, on a small majority of IS,
will, in all probability, be the nominee
of the Democrats again. Should Col
Wade agree to make the race the fight
will be one of the wickedest ever known
in the history Of the county. The Re
publicans always claimed the county by
more than 400 but the last election
places the matter on the fence, so to
speak.
The friends OF Prosecuting Attorney
w E. McDOugle are again setting their
pins for the place for Mr.. McDougle,
who has filled the Office so creditably,
and although quite young has acquitted
himself as one of the brightest attor-
neys practicing at the bar of this court.
He is very popular throughout the
county and is one of the Democrats who
can poll the biggest vote OF any candi-
date likely to aspire to the Office.

Action of the Sub Committee on Resolu-

on the Silver Question.

Action of the subcommittee on hesoiu-
tions, OF the Late Democratic Convention,
on the Silver Question.
Denver, Colo, September 1.-The
Rocky Mountain News to-day pub
lished an editorial in which Mr..
Thomas NJ. Patterson gives a full ac-
count of the action OF the sub-commlt-
tee on resolutions at the last Demo-
cratic National convention. The sub
committee consisted of Mr.. Bayard,
Senators Mcpherson, Villas and Dan
iels; John Atkins, of Tennessee; l.. e.
Girard, of Georgia; Mr. Jones, Of Mis-
souri,, and Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado
Mr.. Patterson says When the
plank was first read and analyZed 1
suggested that it was uncertain and
gave room to cavil about its meaning.
To remove this uncertainty I request
ed that the word free be inserted be-
fore the words coinage of gold and sill
yer, etc 1 distinctly stated that
would be willing to omit the ratio for
such coinage, leaving that to Congress.
What | did want was the Democratic
party clearly and unequlvocally COM
mitted to true bi-metallism. Senators
Villas and Mcpherson opposed this and
so did MIR. Bayard. Each gave his rea-
son. It was not that they were opposed
to free coinage, on the contrary, they
favored it, but the word free as ap-
piled to coinage was so liable to be
misunderstood in the East and North
east, that it would through this ignor-
ance lose the party many votes Whicn
should not be allowed.
Mr.. Bayard was p4EEcularly in earn
est in asserting his fealty to silver
and told in graphic and pathetic IAN
guage, the services he had performed
for the white metal
Mr.. Patterson says that after con-
siderable discussion, Mr.. Atkins, a pro
fessed blmetallist, offered the following
substitute for the money plank:
I'VE hold to the use Of both gold and
silver as the standard money OF the
country and to the coinage Of both golc
and silver for the owners therof, with
out discriminating against either meta
or charge for mintage," etc.

New York, September 1.-Dr. Forbes
Winslow, of London, well known
specialist on suicide and insanity, says
that Jack the Ripper" who by his
crimes terrorized London a few years
ago, is incarcerated in a county lunatic
asylum in England.
DR.. Winslow says this fact is known
to the doctors, but they nushed up the
facts. DR.. Winsl0w says he was a med
ical student, suffering from homicidaI
| mania.
The doctor has come to New York to
attend the Medicio-Legal Congress,
which will be held September 4, and
6. He viii be chairman Of the depart
ment OF insanity and mental medicine,
and has prepared a paper on suicide
considered as a mental epidemic The
story told by DR.. Winslow follows:
Jack the Ripper" was "a medical
! student of good family He was q
young man OF slight build with light
hair and blue eyes He studied very
hard and his mind, being naturally
weak, gave way He became a relig-
ious enthusiast and attended every
early service every morning at st.
Pauls.
His religious fervor resulted in
h0micidal mania towards the women OF
the street, and impelled him to murder
them. He lodged with a man whom I
know, and suspicion was first directed
toward him by reason of the fact that
he returned to his lodgings at unsea-
| sonable hours, and that be had innu-
meTable coats ami hats stained with
| blood.
Il have in my possession now a pair
Of Canadian moccasins, stained with
blood, that the Ripper wore while on
his murderous expeditions. 1 notified
the Scotland Yard authorities, but at
that time they refused to cooperate
with me. Subsequently the young man
was placed in confinement and re-
moved to an asylum. Since his incar-
ceratiOn there has been no repetition
Of the horrible murders that he perpe-
| trated. Those facts are all known to
the English authorities, and it is con-
| ceded that the man now in the asylum
is Jack the Ripper.
1T was deemed desirable, however,
to hush the matter up. The details
were too horrible to be made the sub
ject Of public trial. and there was no
doubt of the mans hopeless insanity" ."
