Cumberland Presbyterians.

At a recent meeting of the Indiana Synod
of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
it was decided to make Indianapolis mis-
sion point, and it is understood active steps
have been taken looking to the establish
ment of a congregation of the Cumberland
Presbyterian faith. The intention is to
erect house of worship in some part of the
CITY. The mission contribution of this
church amounted to nearly $45. 900 last year.
The membership of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church has grown rapidly in the
last few years There are several congre-
cations of this faith in Chicago, and at
Evansville there is home for ministers
of the church who are unable to actively
engage in the work and who require aid.
Information concerning the proposed mis-
sion to be established here can be secured
by addressing Mrs. c. d. Hirst, of Room
$780, Shiel Hotel, this city. The church is
strongest in the South.

In NEED OF MONEY
American Bible Society May Sell It's
New York BUILDING


NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Oncers of the
American Bible Society were questioned to-
day regarding published report that the
society was in difficulties; that it might sell
the Bible House, and that in fact, the So
ciety might go out of existence entirely. 1t
was admitted by the officers that the soci-
ETY. needed money and that the Bible House
might some day be sold, but further than
that the report was denounced as utterly
without foundation. Rev. E. w. Gilman,
one of the secretaries of the society, denied
that the society was in debt and obliged to
sell the Bible House. During the past two
years the amount received from legacies
and gifts has been less than in former
and unless more money was got the society
would not be able to do so much work. So
far from being III difficulties, however, the
managers recently decided to purchase a
new place. They might at an early day
make an appeal to the public for funds In
the appeal issued last April by the society.
March 81. 1897 the expenditures exceeded
the receipts by $156,057. The situation has
not changed since then. The deficit was
met out Of the legacy of the late Mrs. Mary
heretofore been about $500 900 year and
the expenditures about the same
z. L. Fancher, president of the society,"
frankly admitted that there was POSSIBLE
ity that the building might be sold. He
said that a number of the societies that had
offices in the building had moved. the so
ciety had more room than it needs and its
income from rents had been cut down. If
the managers got a satisfactory offer fer
the building they might sch. He thought
the property, which covered an entire block
ought TO be worth 81. 600 easily.
The American Bible Society publishes
nothing but Bibles, which are without note
or comment. They are published In many
languages and are circulated all over the
world

Gamblers Not Afraid of Him, but the
Police Were.

Sergeant Crane last night headed raid
on the rooms in the rear of John O'Con-
ners saloon, at No. 3O1 Bates street, where
it was suspected gambling was in progress.
O'Connell and six men were arrested A
bull dog which was kept in the back yard
was the cause of five men escaping. The
patrolmen who were assigned to guard the
rear were afraid to go into the yard on ac-
count of the dog, and five men who made
dash for liberty escaped.
An hour after the raid John. Farrell
called at the police station and exhibited a
cut in the arm and two or three IN the race
He said a man Jumped out at him from a
doorway and cut him, but smiled when
Sergeant Corrigan accused him of being
one of the gamblers.
