SUSTAINED BY HIS FLOCK.
Rev. Alfred EdEerton Once More
Pastor Of Salem Church

The congregation of Salem co'ored Bap-
flst Church held lively meeting last
night in the church in Champlain Avenue
northwest. The question under discussion
involved the selection of a minister 10 4
the pulpit which has been without reg
nIar pastor for some months. and TO de-
rermine Whether or not the former pas
tor, Rev. Alfred A. Edgerton, should be
reinstated TO fill the vacancy caused by
his sudden and prolonged absence. The
meeting called for last night was well at
tended. II was an important matter with
the colored members of the church.
Many of them were opposed to the Rev.
Edgerton for various reasons. which they
considered sufficient, but he had larger
number of friends who rallied around him
and succeeded in having him reelected
The discussion within the church was
heated. The greater part of the congre-
cation seemed to be glad that the diff
Guilty between the church and the Rev.
Mr. Edgerton had been settled, but there
were some who were dissatisfied with the
result OF the election. The trouble origi-
mated last March. At that time Edgerton
departed suddenly, it is said. leaving the
pulpit without a minister. The members
generally did not know the cause OF his
departure. The pastor had stated that a
relative was i'll and that he would be
away only short time.
Several weeks passed and the church
board declared the pulpit vacant. Rev.
Mr.. Edgerton, il is understood, visited
North Carolina where he remained until
ten days ago whhen he returned to this
city. The police learned of his arrival
and a warrant which had been sworn oIt
in March by a woman named Cornelia
Clitchfeld, was served. Edgerton was
taken into court last Wednesday for
trial. The woman, it is understood, was
unable to appear against him at that time.
The court accepted a collateral OF $40 and
the case was continued indefinitely. 1t
was stated last night that counsel for Rev.
Mr.. Edgerton had succeeded in having the
Clitchfeld woman agree to nol-pros the

Found His Uniovine Parents.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Aug. 26.-William
Gabriel, aged twenty-eight years found
his longlost parents here yesterday.
They led a gypsy life when he was born
and after keeping him three months the
mother thought it better for the child TO
be given to the care of others. A family
named Akers in the Lehigh Valley adopt
ed the boy and he lived with them for
seven years when his foster parents died.
He was then placed in the Lehigh county
almshouse where he remained until he
was eleven years old. Then he struck oIt
for himself. He learned the trade OF
molder and is now employed at Allen
town. Pa, where he has a wife and several
children. He began search for his par
ents year or two ago and this week
found them in Harrisburg.

tin. manager of the passenger traffic of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, said to-
day with reference to the low rates from
Chicago and other points to New York:
"The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
large legitimate Grand Army business
booked for the Philadelphia encampment,
and, while it has placed on sale tickets to
New York and return at the same rate
quoted by the Wabash. Grand Trunk, and
Erie, it will not be party to any demorali-
zation in passenger rates, and, in my opin-
ion, the good judgment of all prominent
passenger men will be eXerted to prevent
this. Many of the wild rumors indicating
rate war and demoralizing Of passenger
rates, have no foundation in fact"

Today's stock market showed remarka-
BILE strength in the face of what by many
was considered a poor bank statement, with
a heavy decrease in reserves and in specie
During the first hour there was some de-
cline in the general level Of prices and up
to the time Of the issuance of the state
ment the general feeling seemed to be that
the close would be at lower level. Imme-
diately after the figures became known.
however. good buying began in many is
sues and the result was net advance for
the list and the highest prices for the day
in most stocks. The statement is as fol-
lows: Reserves decreased 81. 703, S25; loans,
increased $9056, goo; deposits, increased
Sc, ,934 100; specie, decreased 81 ,235, 100; le-
gals, increased 1854 500; circulation, IN
creased $95, 800 The best Interpretation
of the statement is that the large increase
in loans means greater activity in specu-
lation, and the Street seems to have taken
this sane view of the situation. This ad-
vance in prices during the last half hour
Of the week makes the record for the en>
tire six days a most satisfactory one, and
it was the general disposition at the close
to predict that next week will be a good
one Other factors in the situation are all
favorable, and even il there should be
some realizing during the early part OF the
week the general tendency of prices is ex-
pected to be upward.
The specialties were the features Of the
day as far as large gains were concerned.
Tennessee Coal and Iron advanced two
points and closed above 81, showing excel
lent strength on inside buying. 1t is
predicted by these insiders that the pre-
vious high level, par, will be passed in
the near future, on the expectation of a
fine statement of the earnings Of the COM
pany for this month.
Consolidated Gas continued on it's re-
markable advance in the face of what was
considered by many an unanswerable ar
gument for lower prices. The stock is
now receiving only half the dividends paid
on it few months ago, and yet before the
close today the price had advanced twelve
points from yesterdays opening. 1t was
denied again this morning that the war
is over among the gas companies, but this
fact had no more effect than the reduction
of the dividend rate. The advance is OF
course, manipulation, and the reasonable
supposition is that the stock will tumble
in the near future, but at the same time

shows that it is a most dangerous stock

ships they endured. Their eyes are dull
with snow blindness and they are emaciat-

nearly they came to starving to death.
