ST. MARK's PASTOR.
Congregation Still in Doubt ns to
Their Minfster.


Their Minister.
The congregation CT St Marks Lutheran
Church in Southwest Washington Is still
undecided as to their pastor. 1t was an
nounced early in the autumn in The Star
that Rev. w. H. Gotwald D. D., the pas
tor. had decided to leave the church and
that his church council had accepted the
resignation Since then, however, the in
coming Of a new council has changed mat
tiers and they refuse to allow the doctor
to leave. He, however states that his mind
is made lip to resign and. thus the matter
stands. AS partial compromise the coun-
Gil has granted their pastor six months
leave of absence and tomorrow DR.. Gotwald
will leave for Pennsylvania to be gone two
or three weeks. Sunday, the 9th, the Rev.
l.. NJ. Kuhn is to fill the. pulpit, and after
that the congregation will attend to the
other supplies until the end of the six
months. but it is probable that Dr. Got
wald will fill the pulpit a number of times
himself, as he intends to remain in WASH
ington a good part of his leave of absence.
The leave is given the pastor, in the hope
that before it is up he VIII change his mind
ana decide to take Eola Of the ministerial
duties again.
In addition to settling the difficulties in
the way of minister the congregation is
also making an earnest effort to better
their financial condition. There are two
trusts on the church property, one held by
private party, with interest, and the
other by Lutharln Church organization,
which loans money. to young churches with
out interest. 1t is probable that this latter
organization will remit the larger portion
of its trust and possibly all of It, and in
this case the congregation will be consid-
erably relieved. In order that the rest may
be taken care of card system of sub
scriptions has been planned and adopted.
BY this each me nber is to pledge himself
to pay SO much a day, and if the scheme Is
successful the total income from this
source will be aboat twenty hundred
dollars a year.

Gov. Bradley Denies Having Con

Gov. Bradley Denies Having Con-
tempinted Calling Out the Militia.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, February THE
special of the Times-Star from Frank
fort, KY, says:
Gov. Bradley denies today the reports
published in morning papers about his hav-
ing contemplated calling out the state mill
tia to suppress the threatened disturbance
in the legislature growing out of a contest
for the election of a United States Senator.
Gov. Bradley says this proposition was dis
crssed in the joint republican caucus last
night, but he had not been consulted on
the subject or advised sucn discussion. He
had not even looked up the law on the
subject. and had no assurance up to this
time that he had authority to call out the
troops for any such purpose. 40 :
AT noon the general assembly was pre-
pairing for usual joint convention to ballot
on Senator. and trouble was expected. ,
LOUISVILLE. KY, February IA spe-
cisl to the Courier-Journal from Frankfort,
KY, says:
The republicans last night at caucus
in the rooms of DR.. Godfrey Hunter de-
cided to establish a military guard over
the joint sessions Of the legislature on the
election of a United States Senator There
were present besides DIR. Hunter, Gov.
Bradley and Adjt. Gen. Collier. The Hun
ter managers announced to the governor
that something had to be done.
1t seemed certain that when Tompkins
and Kaufman were unseated the demo-
cratic senate would retaliate instantly and
would not permit the unseated republicans
to go in the joint session, the democrats
having the chief sergeant-at-arms and
doorkeeper. They also stated that quite a
number of Senator Black burns friends
were going to be sworn in as deputies in
order to help keep out the unseated re-
publican senators. This furnished the basis
for the request for the militia.
1t is said that rothing will be done until
Monday, Lieut.. Gov. Worthington will
be out of the city until then.
LOUISVILLE, KY, February IA spe-
cial to the Post from Frankfort says: Pub
lie interest in the senatorial race was tame
today. The war scare was over for the
present and the ladies filed the Hobbies.
President Pro Tempore Gobel called the
joint session to order, Lieutenant Governor
Worthington being absent. The roll call
showed Hayward and Hissem, Stage and
Noe paired, leaving 13i present. GS being
necessary to a choice. Weissinger and
Carsoll voted for Carlisle. Sheight Violet
and Walker voted for McCreary. Poor
voted for Bate. The ballot resulted: Hun

lisle 2: Bate, 1.

Two Young Men Who Went Rowing
Are Missing.

Samuel Pearson, a white resident of
Great Falls. Nd and Adam Frey, a nine
,teen-year-old colored boy, went out row.
ing Wednesday morning, and as they have
not shown up since it is feared that the
two were drowned. The two left the gate
of the aqueduct in a river skiff and rowed
up the stream.
The boat poles they used were found
adrift near the aqueduct dam yesterday,
and as the river is rather high and running
swift, it is thought that their boat cap
