moral Conduct.


moral Conduct.
Lynchburg, Va, June 29.-The case of
Rev. DIR. A. Jaeger. charged with immoral
conduct, is being watched with consider
able interest throughout the State, and
particularly in the Episcopal diocese of
Southern Virginia. He will be tried by an
ecclesiastical court, consisting of five
clergymen. Bishop A. NJ. Randolph Sas
already selected eight ministers, whose
names have been sent to Dr. Jaeger He
will have the right TO strike out three of
them, and the remaining five will hear
the case and render verdict DIR. Jaeger
is Hebrew by birth and was born in
Austria. After receiving a thorough and
careful education he came to the United
States, and for a number of years past
has been actively engaged in teaching
and preaching. having been at various
times located at Gambia, Ohio; Suwannee
Tenn, Lynchburg, Va, and other places.
While residing in a Southern city he left
the Jewish Church, for which he had been
educated, and affiliated with the Baptist
denomination Subsequently he connected
himself with the Episcopal Church and
has remained identified with it up to the
present time, being now member of the
diocese of Southern Virginia. In his ap-
proaching trial the ecclesiastical court
will have 10 decide whether his connection
with the diocese shall or shall not be dis
solved
The trouble in regard TO DR. Jaeger has
been of long standing. and it's investiga-
ton by the court promises to be of a
very sensational character. DR.. Jaeger
has friends and supporters, who earnest
~ deny the charges of immortality and
who declare that he will be honorably
acquitted. The date of the trial has not
as yet been definitely determined Dr.
Jaeger married Miss Annie Wilmer
sister of Rev. c. b. Wilmer a few years
ago, Mr.. Wilmer came here from Ohio
for the purpose of accepting a position as
assistant in the Lynchburg Coiored Or
phan Asylum and Industrial School.
worthy institution, established by DIR.
Jaeger, and successfully conducted by
him for several years. For many months
the relations between DIR. Jaeger and Mr..
Wilmer have been intensely strained. At
one time Mr.. Wilmer on the strength of
representations made TO him after his
return from Northern trip by certain
parties. swore out d warrant, charging
DR. Jaeger with lunacy. A commission
10 examine into the matter was sum
moned. but the warrant at the solicita-
tion of friends. was withdrawn Dr. Jae-
ger at one time swore out warrants,
charging Mr.. Wilmer with assaulting
him. Mr.. Wilmer was tried on one of
the warrants by a Campbell County jus
tice, and was acquitted. The trial on the
other warrant has not yet taken place.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Wilmer submit
ted his resignation to the board of trus-
tees of the orphan asylum. 1t was ac-
cepted. and nearly all OF the members Of
the board who were present at the meet
ing handed in their designations and re-
tired. DR.. Jaeger's alleged misconduct
and the charges brought against him have
been closely connected with the trouble
between him and Mr.. Wilmer. The latter
has been offered and has accepted a
charge in Cincinnati.

Spanish people. cabinet council was
summoned in consequence of the Ameri-
can proposals to send fleet over here.
Its reply is TO call out 5000 extra men
TO re-enforce the garrisons in the seaboard
towns. and to place ali the forts in proper
condition TO meet any emergency.
The persistent rumor that the govern
ment has ordered Admiral Cervera 10
sally from Santiago is officially denied.
The admiral without doubt has been
sounded upon the point, but after con-
sultation with his captains and after
much deliberation it was resolved that,
much as the question of a sOrtie was pop
ular with naval men. il would be contrary
to the strict orders of the government
which are TO take the least possible risk

Mr.. Alexander Black, author and eds
tor of the Brooklyn Times, presented for
the first time his picture-play, Miss

1896, its popular successor, "a Capital
Courtship." Tomorrow night he will give

be marvel or pictorial beauty. 1t is an
intensely interesting story. Fully 200
views will be introduced in the rendering
Of the same, and one very soon forgets
that il is not real persons that are being
presented instead of pictures.
In order that the presentation of this
most popular play may be given to the
greatest satisfaction Of all present, the
committee have two requests to make
that all stockholders be present at the
hour of S15, as the lights will be turned
out at that time. This will avoid confu-
sion and unpleasant errors in the seat
ing of the house.
Again. since II is essential to the full
enjoyment of the evening that every per-
son in the house be able to see the en-
tire canvas, 1t is hoped that all the lady
patrons of the couose will either come
without hats. or on taking their seats
kindly remove the hat.
