Delaware will meet at Dover on Thursday
to arrange for The closing the bank at
New Castle and the reduction of the capi-
tai stock from S615, 900 to $500. 900.
There will be very little for the directors
to do, MS the line of action was mapped out
by the Legislature in the bill passed at the
last session. The closing of the New Gas.
tie branch will necesstate the reduction of
the capital stock 1t is expected that in

of deposit will be opened rs part OF the
Fariners' Bank in this city.
As the state owns stock in tho Farmers
Bank 1t will be necessary for the state to
surrender a part Of its stock and receive
the money for it the same rs other stock
holders. The bank stock owned by the
state is at present u part of the inve' ted
fund belonging to the school fund. The
state authorities will fnd some other way,

the taking away of Thomas Higgins is II
loss not only to his sons and daughters
who survive him, but to the community

PRESBYTERIAN
ASSEMBLY.
New Castle Presbytery
Delegates Are Now On
Their Way to Min
neapoIis.

The New Castle Presbytery delegates to
the meeting of the General Assembly of
tho Presbyterian Church, which convenes
at Minneapolis, Mimi, Thursday morn
ing. left this city yesterday afternoon.
About four hundred delegates are ex.
pected in Minneapolis. or this number
two will represent New Castle Presby-
terry. They are: 2. B. Wyle of Now Cas-.
tie and John McElmoyle of Newark.
The Assembly Is the highestcourt of the
Presbyterian Church, which Is governed
by the Presbytcry, The Synod and the Gen.
eral Assembly. Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe,
Of Washington is the moderator, and will
officially open the Assem- bly, on Thursday
at II o'clock. He will deliver the opening
, sermon. At the afternoon session officers,
including moderator, will be elected
There are many candidates for the Office,
among them being Rev. DR.. r, f. Sample
Indiana; Rev. DR.. William Mckibben, of
Cincinnati and Rey. DR.. Il. +. Coyle, Of
Oakland, Cal.
The usual interest in the election will be
enhanced this year by reason of the agita-
tlon In certain quarters for new method
OF governing the Assembly. There are
those who think that too many powers are
now centred in the moderator The stand
ing committees are all seleGted by him.
Those who favor q more democratic con-
troll will urge tho adoption of what is
known as the Peoria Overture" recently
indorsed by the Brooklyn Presbytery,
which provides that the committees be ap-
pointed by the representatives of the sew.
eral synods participating in the Assembly.
AS far as Is known at present, no heresy
cases. such as have occupied great deal
OF time in recent Assemblies, will como up
this year. Strenuous efforts have recently
been made by certain members OF the Pitts
burg and Allegheny Presbyteries to have
the case of Professor McGltfert, of Union
Seminary, again considered, but these
Presbyteries, tho members of which are
the most conservative of Presbyteians,
defeated the move, though by close vote.
1t will bo remembered that tho sentiments
published hy Professor McGiffcrt were
condemned by the last years A. sembly,
but nothing was done with Professor Nc
Giffert himself.
