SAX FRANCISCO, March 14.-The Rev.
@. o. Brown 10 waiting for the verdict
of his ecclesiastical judges and Miss
Mesde Overnen is speeding towards
the southern boundary of the State.
The case agaiastt the accused pastor Ia
closed. Every witness has been heard
and the last argument has been made.
The sensational trial closed with dra-
matic scene in which men and women
'cheered the minister, who is lighting
sor reputation.
The execu tive sessions Of the ooun-
Gil have been held, but verdict has
not been reached on all points in
volved. The charge Of immortality so
far az Mrs. Stockton IL concerned. IN
not sustained. An informal ballot was
taken, which showed that the sense OF
the council was that the evidence was
not suh}ciens to support the charge.
The council decided that Mrs. Stock

The second vote was on the charge Of
intimsdating young lady member of
the ohNrch. The evidence on this charge
was heard Thursday evening and seemed
90 make d deep i'm preston on the coun-
ell. This 'impressin was confirmed in
the executive session last night. The
church was thoroughly csnvassed and
various members expressed themselves
freely
cno clergyman known up and down
the coast Is said to have expressed the
be lief that DR.. Brown ought to have
been shos for his persecution of an in.
Docent girl, in turning en- innocent
episode 70 his own advantage. The de.
alterations of the council developed
the fac, that the charges of intimidation
m sde against the pastor by young
lady of the church are smong the most
serious of all. The council is more
nearly unanimous upon this point than
upon any other.
Stubborn efforts are being made to
convict the pastor on the charge OF i'm =
morality, but 1t 10 believed q compro-
mise will De made on verdict of un-
ministerial conduct although Brown has
several determined friends who wish
him vindicated on all the issues.

I'm lust here on private business,
he said to a reporter. But the silver
Democrats, some of them, are taking
darl5ly about the object of the Minis
ter's visit to the State just at this time.
He is known 0 be close to the Presi-

any other man the administration III

he has come to look after the interests
OF the administration in the State, and
. if possible, to secure its endorsement

night from Richmond announcing that
Mrs. C.. c. Barbee, mother of Messrs.

rest in the family plat, by the side of
the beloved husband of the deceased,

Mrs. Barbee was a native of Harnett
county, but most of her life has been
spent in Raleigh, where she and her
husband were for years among the
most esteemed, beloved and respected
of our people. At her death she was
in her eightieth year, and for the past
few months she has spent her declin-
ing days at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. G. d. Rand, of Richmond, who,
with her two sons, Mess1-s. Claude and
#. b. Barbee, of this city, were with her
to the end There will be sad tears in
the eyes of those who will follow her
to the grave this afternoon, sorrowing
that such good, useful and exemplary
life has drawn to a close.

IT'S heartfelt sympathies to the be-
reaved family in this greatest Of all
sorrows.
