MIR. KLOMAN NOT CALLED.

There is no foundation in fact for the
statement that Rev. Henry +. Kloman,
of Baltimore, had been called by the
vestry of st. Marks church TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Bishop Penick. Mr. Kloman had received
q call TO Haymarket, Va, before he
preached In Richmond two weeks ago.
He was not in a position TO receive a
CALL and he has since accepted the call to
Haymarket.
Mr.. S. Il. Beveridge, a member of the
vestry said yesterday that no name was
being considered, and up to the present
time only one call had been extended
The congregation is not a large one at
present, and the stipend is quite small

report on the filling Of the vacant recto-
rate was unable to report. An immense
amount of correspondence has been re-
ceived on the subject. but the committee
apparently will not be ready to report
for some time to come. A very persistent
rumor has been circulated of late that
four out OF the five members OF the COM
mittee were prepared TO make a recon-
mendation 10 the vestry. This is said TO
be entirely without foundation. The yes
try stands ready TO adopt any report that
may be signed by every member OF the

The Committee on James River I'M

routine business. The subcommittee ap-

BEDFORD CITY.
Resignation of DIR. Hawes-Great
Regret Felt.

BEDFORD CITY, VA, December H.
Special. )-Yesterday. at the morning SER
vice, Rev. DR.. Herbert II. HAYES ten
dered his resignation as pastor Of the
Liberty Presbyterian church. 1t was in
the form letter TO be read at the ses-
sion Of the church. setting forth. In
words full Of tenderness and affection.
his sense OF the duty that impelled him
to sever his relations with the congrega-
ton. Or. HAYES had been asked by the
General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church to labor in the field in behalf
of the Assembly Home, at Fredericks-
burg, and this DR.. Halves considered a
call that could not be refused. As soon
after January LIST as possible the resig-
nation will go into effect.
Although this decision was not unex-
pected, the announcement came as a
great blow 10 the congregation who had
learned to love and trust DR.. Halves du-
ring his two years OF ministry as IL IS
given to few mon to be loved and trusted.
After the sermon a congregational meet
ing was held 10 express tho profound re-
greet felt by all al his departure. and n
committee was appointed, consisting Of
Messrs. James r. Guy. J. w. Gish. +. o.
Thomas, Miss Lula Smith, and Mrs. p
L. Saunders, to draw up suitable resolu-
lions. These are to hold a meeting on
Wednesday, after prayer-meeting, and IL
is thought they will urgently beg DR..
Hawes not 20 sever his relations per-
maDently, but to accept n leave OF abb
sence OF six months or more. during which
time he can ascertain IL his health will
bear the increased labors Of the new
work. At the end Of that period he could
then take final action If he still felt ii
best and In the mean time his charge
here could be filed by a stated supply.
1t is hoped. and generally believed that
this suggestion will be received favorably
by DR.. HAYES.
The departure Of this good man will be
felt by the whole community. as well as
by the members Of the Presbyterian
church. As a man deeply spiritual. a
scholar, a writer OF ability, a preacher,
a friend, and genial Christian gentle
man, DR.. Halves fills a place in the needs
and affections Of his people that can.

"a Bachelors Honeymoon" a farce
that will take its place among some OF
the most laughable dramatic compost
tons, was presented at the Academy
last night by Warde & Sacketts Com
pany.
The piece is not "Frenchy' in the gene
raj acceptance of the term, though 1t is
Favored enough 10 make il highly inte-
resting without being Objectionable. The
company, as a whole, is not as good as
that seen here last season in the farce.
Nearly every role is In new hands, and IN
10 case Is a part better played than it
was before. However, the farce goes
on it's own merits, and the laughable stu
atoms and bright dialogue keep the
audience in the best of humor throughout
the three acts. Mr.. William McVay is
cast as Benjamin Bachelor, and does very
well in the part. and the others all seem
ed to give satisfaction.
"a Bachelors Honeymoon will be re-
peated at matinee and evening perform
