He Is Rector Of Trinity Church ,Pawtucket,
and Was Connected With an Athletic
Club and Contracted Many Unpaid
Bills.
Pawtuoket, R. l., September 1s.-The
resignation of Rev. L. e. Porter, rector
Of Trinity ohuroh, has been demanded
before next Easter by the vetsry of the
parish. This action Is the result OF an
vestigation which has been going on
for some weeks past Into the habits Of
the life and private affairs of the rector,
the result of which is said to have re-
vealed state of affairs highly reprehen-
sible. Mr.. Porter has been in charge OF
the parish little less than two years,
coming from Brunswick, Me. Being OF
good address and clever conversations
alist he sprang into popularity in a very
short time. While evinoing considerable
enthusiasm In his work he also took q
wIde interest in athletic affairs in
general. He joined the Kalen club, be-
came one of the leaders among his
fellows socially as well as in pastoral
ways. After a time rumors became
frequent that all was not as it should be
with the popular rector. Parties to
whom he was owing money for board
and various purposes had difficulty In
collecting it. Suppers and bowlin g at
the club remained unpaid until the
amount reached such figure that the
club was force to take summary action.
1t is stated that money which he was
compelled to borrow to liquidated his
debts had never been paid. July 81 he
commenced a month leave of absence,
the period allowed him by the terms OF
his contract with the church. Five
weeks passed, and as he dill not return
the vestrym decided so take the oaly
course which appeared left to them. On
the 9th inst. the meeting was held at
which his resignation was asked foy at
once. On the 12th he returned and ask cd
for hearing, which was granted him
last night BY the vestrymen. Instead Of
defending himself against the charges
against him he assumed an attitude
which was far from the idea of his hear
ers as to propriety and decorum, with the
result that the request was changed to a
demand to take effect in December, at
the close Of his second year. Upon his
plea of Insufficient time to properly ad-
just his disarranged affairs, an extension
was granted until Easter. Itis probable
that the deposed rector will resign his
charge before that time.

Handsomely-The Three Fastest Heats
Ever Paced in Raoe-The Great
Horses Will Be Seen at Rigby Next
Week.
Msdford, Mass, September ls.-The
crowd at Mystic park this afternoon was
as large as ever seen at the park, the
great drawing card being the free-for-all
pacing contest, in which Robert j.,
(2.ol1a), Frank Agan (a.oa54) and Star
Pointer (2.0414) were entered.
The race developed three fastest con-
secutive heats ever paced. In the first
heat, the New England track record for
| mile was beaten and q new world 9
pacing record for half mile established
by Star Pointer.
. When thekhorses were sent off In the
! first heat Star Pointer had the pole with
Robert j. in second place and Frank
Agan on the outside. Star Pointer had
slight lead when the word was given.
AT the quarter which was made In
2954, Pointer was in the lead, with ARan
at his heels, Agan having taken second
place. Pointer passed the half in 59A,
beating all existing pacing records. The
three-luarters was passed in .3111, with
the positions of the racers unchanged.
AS they neared the finish Pointer WAS
holding his own splendidly, while Agan
was making hot bid for victory with
Robert j. close at his wheel. When
Pointer shot under the wire winner by
half length in 2.O21S the excitement
was tremendous and Pointer and his
driver. McClary, received suoh an ovation
as is rarely seen upon race track.
In the second heat Star Pointer led
from the start to the end of the mile, and
the relative positions of the horses were
unchanged throughout. Robert j. made
a desperate, though unsuccessful attempt
to get second place at the quarter. Frank
Agan resented his interference by letting
out another link, leaving Robert j. be-
hind. In this heat McClary did not touch
| Pointer with the whip, and each horse
paced the entire mile without the faintest
sign of a break. Pointer finished length
ahead of Al AZ it'll Robert }. third. N
The third heat was practically a
repetition Of the second, until within the
last thirty rods of the wire, when Robert
j. who had been pushing Frank Agan
hard all the way for second place. pushed
by him and finished about length be-
hind Pointer. The other races were of
little interest compared with the free-for-
all.
