RESIGNED.
Rev, Herbert Mott Of West
Minister Church.
Project for Change of LOca-
tiOn Defeated.
Church Will Stay Where itds and
Have a New Pastor.

Rev. Herbert Mott. who has been the
Church, the Unitarian society that has
occupied the i'm posing stone ediice on
Msthewson street, for more than sixty
yesrs, has resigned bis pestorate. Mr..
Mott has occupied the pulpit since the
resignation of Dr. Woodbury. whose pssto-
rate extended over more than quarter of
a century.
Mr.. Motifs resignation WAS prompted
by the refusal of the society TO move tine
church over to South AHgell street.
The fact that the church was not in the
most prosperous condition was attributed
by the pastor and some Of the church
members TO the location of the church
and for some time the society has been
considering whether it could move to ad-
vantage ana, IL so, where. Alter q careful
study OF the situation and a survey of the
field two opinions were developed each of
which found sdterents in the society.
One was that an effort should be made TO
develop the church in its present loca.
tion, az its neigh Dor across the street, tho
after going over the ground very CAREFUL
ly, and the other was to move to the tar
East side where II WAS hoped that new
sdherents could be secured more easily
than by rem aiming 10 the center of the
city commonly convenient to all the
church goers, IL not hest convenient to
residents on either side OF the river. The
IA. txsn ha-
tween East and West side residents since
many of the former advocate the present
location and some of the strongest sdvo-
Gates Tor removal have their homes on
the West side.
A number OF meetings have been held
to discuss the matter and informal votes
have been taken as to removal somewhere,
no removal, and removal 10 the South
Angel street location. The supporters
of the present location, or at least for a
remc val only to more advantageous
site on the West side of the river, held
that the preset location was not neces-
sariIy tine reassn for a falling of in
church mem bership and interest and at
any rate Ii could not be guaranteed that
the PRACTICAL freezing out Of numbe of
West side members by removal to Red
Bridge would be soon compensated for by
new accessions to say nothing of growth,
while there would be three Unitarian
churches on the East side and, IL Unitsr-
ianism MAS religion to spread. it ought
to set itself to presd in botn directions OF
the city and not shoot all its ammunition
In one direction.
Mr.. Mott, the pastor, was strongly in
favor of removal to the East side and as
sumed tue leadership of that faction,
using all his influence to that end. At
the final meeting fora vote on the matter
Monday night, the pastor intimsted that
he should resign IL the church society
should vote against his plan, and upon
the result of the ballot showing good
majority in favor of retaining the present
location, Mr.. Mott presented bis resigns-
tion. The meeting adjourned without
taking action upon It,

GOT AWAY AS USUAL.
One Italian Stabbed Another In a
Saloon and Fled.
Clrelli at III. Hospital witlra Punclure in
His Abdomen.

Dominica Testa's saloon, 20 Teft street,
was the scene OF a stabbing affrey at 10:30
O'Clock last night and the victim,
Michael Cirelli, about go years of age, has
a two inch pnDcture in his abdomen TO
prove it. lie is now al the Rhode Island
Hospital with some show for his life.
and his assailant, young Italian who
bss only been in this country short
time. is now hiding from his enemy the
police. He is fortunately we'll known aud
IL he makes his appearance he will be
ma bbed without ceremony. resta's saloon
is but a short distance from Cireli's home
and be, together with several of his fellow
countrymen, were enjoying themselves in
their own particular wsy drinking and
smoking ana chattering In their vehe-
ment and bewiidering way, during q game
Of tocco, a gam bling pastime more or less
familiar to the sons of sunny Italy. There
was quarrel, of course, and quick as a
fash the Italian Grew his stiletto and
plunged it into the right side of Cirelli's
abouen. The fash of the steel and the
blow was seen b. the score or more OF
inmates in the saloon.
Friends Of the would be assassin hustled
him out of the saloon and he has not been
seen since. The quarrel started with an
accusation of cheating. Both men sprang
to their feet and trouble began. After the
stabbing Cireili, who is about 60 years of
age and very vigorous, remained in the
saloon for some time before going to his
home, 81 Teft street. 1t was miduigh b t
before the police of the Fourth station
were informed of the. assault, ana their
vigorous search for the culprit was unre-
warded. Those who saw the quarrel had
little to say and the police had some
trouble in finding out the particulars.
Cirelli went to bed when he got home,
bat his condition alarmed bis friends and
DIR. Pherlo, on AtwelPs avenue, was sent
for. The grief of the family OF the
wounded man wss made manifest In the
usual demonsirative way while the doctor
was making his examination, and there
was great ontcry when it was decided
that the hospital was the proper place for
the wounded man. tirelli will probably
recover unless internal hemorrhage
acts in.
