1t is likely that the number Of snakes
in the neighborhood of Birmingham
Park will be considerably reduced dur
ing, the present season, as already the
onslaught upon them has begun. On
Wednesday last George jones and a
companion were driving cattle along
the Brandywine to cross at Pocopson,
when they noticed q rusiling among
the leaves. Soon the heads of four
snakes appeared, followed quickly by
the same number OF bodies. With their
goads the men at oncs fell to work, and
soon no life was left in the reptiles ex-
cept in the tails, which continued to
wriggle until later in the day. Scarcely
was this valiant feat accomplished
when three more snakes were seen, and
these we're Dispatcher in like manner.

thief entered tho room Of Harry Q.

hour this morning and succseded 10
stealing So or $40 in cash from him.
Mr.. orem retired shortly after mid

the pockets had been rifed and the
money taken. A larger sum in notes

necessary act and referred to Christ as

PREACHER FROST in DEMAND
Invited to ST.. Paul's Church,
Newark, New Jersey,
TO SUCCEED THE REV. DR.. BAKER
WHO is Desired by Grace Com
gregation.
Or. Frost's Transfer Not to be Effected Untii
Next Spring, and the Pulpit at Newark
Meanwhile to be Left "to be Suppiied,''
as the Technical Term is.

Baltimore Sun, Monday.
The Rev. Dr. Timothy r. Frost OF
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
will probably go to st. Paul's Church,
Newark, N j., at the expiration OF his
term OF five years at his present charge
in the Baltimore Conference.
Several months ago committee from
Newark made overtures to DIR. Frost to
consent to a transfer to ST. Paups at
this yoar's meeting OF Conference. AS
his five years. term at First Church
will not expire until next year, and
owing to the cordial relations here be-
tween pastor and people, DIR. Frost at
that time refuse 10 consider call to
the New Jersey charge.
Later another proffer was made, and
this is the arrangement which will
probably go into effect next year IL tho
present meeting OF tho Newark Confer
ence, which commences this week,
maks satisfactory disposition of the
pastorate OF st. Paul's.
In many Methodist Conferences arc
what are famliarly known as trans
fer'' churches, whose trustees usually
select man to their liking, frequently
from another Conference, and the
choice is sanctioned by the presiding
bishop ST. Paul's Church is one of
these churches This year the Rev.
DIR. Henry Baker finishes his term of
five years there and is to 90 to Grace
Church, Wilmington, to succeed the
Rev. DIR. Merritt Hulburd, who died
several months ago.
DIR. Frost was selected as DR.. Bakers
successor, and is favorable to the plan,
hut year must elapse before the trans
fer can be made from the baltimore to
tho Newark Conference. He has con-
scented to remain with the baltimore
congregation until the expiration Of
his term of five years. and st. Paul's
pulpit must be 6lled in the meantime.
This may be done by leaving the pulpit
''to be supplied" as the technical term
is but that would scarcely ba allowed
for such an important appointment for
whole year.
The more probable course will be to
have some man appointed, with the
understanding that be is to give way
next year to Or. Frost. In the case oil
preacher who has similar plans fol
taking another charge this would moi
be a difficulty matter. In that event DR..
Frost would no doubt accept the charge
next year, although he has given nc
assurance to the trustees on account Of
the uncertainty as TO what disposition
will be made of the appointment thit
year.
The transfer OF DR.. Frost out Of tht
Baltimore Conference may make diff
ference IN the expectations Of Baltl
more congregation. The people of Madi
son Avenus Church were anxious I,
secure him this year to succeed th'
Rev. Dir. Lucien Clark. who was sen
10 Foundry Church. Washington
Failing in this, on account OF DR.
Frost's desire to remain in his presen
charge, the Madison avenue people re
ceived the Rev. o. A. Brown, with tn
expectation OF getting DR.. Frost in 1893

moned. She was given an emetic and
sent to the Delaware Hospital in the
patrol wagon, where she was treated
and was soon out of danger.
