TOWN COUNCIL ATTERS,
SMYRNA'S MAYOR ALSO A COLLECTOR OF
TOWN TAXES.
Eugene Crow Appointed Collector of Taxes
and Light and Water Rents for the
Ensuing Year.

The regular meeting of the Smyrna
Town Council was held last Friday
evening. In the absence of President
James G. Robinson, S. J. Reynolds
was made president pro tenn. The
number of adjourned meetings prev
iouslv held, left very little business to
be transacted. Eugene Grow, recently
elected Alderman of the Town of
Smyrna, was made the collector of
light and water rents and taxes.
The following bills were read and al
lowed: Adams Express Co., As cents
J. R. Hudson & Co., $500; Peter W.

ASBURY INCORRECTLY REPORTED.
A Misstatement as Regards the Figures in the
Case of Asbury Nj. E. Church.

The report of Presiding Elder Cork
ran, of Easton District, as it appeared
in the papers of Wilmington, was
surprise to the people of Asbury NJ. E.
Church, of Smyrna. According to his
report the church of this town paid
only $3.50 of old debts and 5000 for
church improvements. We had stated
it differently before he went to Con-
ference-about 81, 800 in these two
items, and including the amounts for
salaries, missions, benevOlences, &C.,
we stated that the church had paid
about $1,000 in the conference year.
Evidently the Presiding Elder was
wrong (for he did not have the figures
of the Wilmington printers cOrrected)
or we were, and we sought the chair
man of the committee in question and
his figures with the names settled with,
showed $S06 of old debts paid, instead
of $3.50, and new improvements as
Twentieth Century Offering, -
$1S5O.6O, instead of 5000, as reported
by the Elder. There was less occa-
sion to make such mistakes right here
where the figures could be so easily
obtained, than in the more distant
parts of the District, but such errors
have tendency to vitiate the report as
to the other places.

CHURCH CANVASS OF TOWN.
A Good Object, the Intent of Which is to
Promote an Attendance on Church.
Taking Religious Census.

A matter that was set on foot a week
or two ago by the Society of Christian
Endeavor of the Presbyterian church,
and endorsed we think by Christians
of all denominations, was put forward
more substar TALLY by a meeting com
posed of members of the three denom-
nations, held at the Presbyterian
church, Monday evening.
E. NJ. Boyd called the meeting to
order and stated the object for which
they had met, and Rev. Henry Thomas
was called upon to act as permanent
chairman at these deliberations. Miss
Ethel H. Cooper was likewise chosen
secretary. An Executive Committee
was chosen as follows: f. NJ. Boyd
and Mrs. Lloyd, Presbyterian church;
| Miss Emma Weldon and j. B. Krusen,
Methodist church; and Miss Mary
Spruance and Crawford Stevens,
Episcopal Church
The important committee that o1
canvassers-will be appointed at a sub.
sequent meeting. 1t is not likely, be-
cause of press of other church duties

BALTIMORE BUILDING AND LOAN.
The Association Gone Into the Hands of a
Receiver.-A Number of Smyrna
People Affected.

The stockholders of the Building and
Loan Association of Baltimore, num-
bering about twenty in this town, rep
resenting from $4,000 to $4,000, were
surprised on Saturday by the an
nouncement that it had passed into the
hands of receiver-Bird NJ. Robin
son, Esq.
An effort has since been made to
have a co-receiver, because he has been
connected in the management OF the
business of the company the past year,
or to have a new receiver, but we have
not learned of any other person being
appointed. There is of course great dis
appointment, as the stockholders
thought it perfectly safe.
Those holding shares in the commun-
ity met at the residence of Miss Sue r.
Colt, the local treasurer, yesterday af-
ternoon, and all felt that the condition
was not so bad but that they would re-
ceive dollar for dollar for money paiC
in, and some were sanguine enough tC
think that they would receive interes
on this.
The plan upon which the stock was
to mature in or about seven years
might have worked successfully unde
exceptionally advantageous circum
stances, but as it happened the circum
stances were just the reverse. The re
ceivership was voluntary on the par
of the Association, and the asset
are appropriated at 81, $50, 900, an
liabilities at 100000, but the liabil
ties consist almost exclusively of th
Indebtedness to the shareholders, s
that their actual loss should not /
very great.

Savings and Loan Associations.

The Smyrna Building and Loan
Association and the Clayton Savings
and Loan Association offer safe invest
ments. One of our citizens thus
writes:
''The Smyrna Building and Loan
Association, home concern, will issue
a new series of shares in April. How
much better it would be for our people
wishing to save money to take shares
in this loan. 1t is not only safe but it
is managed by people we know to be
trustworthy in every respect. 1t is
true they cannot afford to offer you
interest beyond what is safe, and in all
investments when you are made prom
ises beyond the usual business rates
you may rest assured you are taking
risks in proportion to the promises
made. The higher the rate of increase
offered the greater the risk in all cases
A local Building Loan is of much ben
eft to community and it goes with
out requiring any proof that the local
Building Loans have done more tC
make homes for people than any othel
institutions in the country. Look III

SUNDAY AT THE NJ. E. CHURCH.
The Services in the Hands of UnOfficials, but
Successful in Result.

With the pastor of the NJ. E. Church
away at Conference, both the leader
and the assistant of the choir, as was
also the Superintendent, Assistant
and Chorister of the Sunday School,
Asbury Church looked pretty we'll be-
reft of it's motive power Sunday, but
the machinery went on very much the
same as usual. Rev. Mr.. Hill had ex-
pected to send member of the confer
ence down to preach on Sunday, but he
found no one who wanted to leave
the Conference and Rev. VIM. FAIRIES,
local preacher, was notified on Satur-
day that 1t would fall to his lot to fill
the breach, which he did acceptably,
taking Faith for his subject. In the
afternoon in the Sunday school, Wal
ter w. Hynson acted as Superintend-
ent and John A. Hoffecker as chorister.
The night services in the church were
in charge of the Christian Endeavor
| Society, J. B. Krusen leader. The
young people were out in large num-
bers and the meeting altogether a very
successful one. 1t was Miss Katherine
Beckett's turn to lead, had the
meeting been held in the usual plac,
and time, and she read beautiful man
uscript on obedience, the subjec
for the evenings consideration. Mr.
Krusen showed himself a capabl,
leader the closing features being al

Condemned Army Canteen.

The Committee on Resolutions amid
much applause, presented resolutions
condemning the army canteen and de-
nouncing the rum traffic in general.
The Administration at Washington
was condemned for subterfuges in re-
gard to the canteen law in trying to
subvert the will of the people. The
resolutions regretted that where the
American flag went the liquor saloon
was imposed on the people of our new
possessions.
A number of resolutions were Of
fered, one by DIR. e. w. Cooper, sug-
gesting that laymen be allowed voice
in the apportionment of amounts to be
raised for various Church purposes,
and also that the General Conference
be petitioned to amend the discipline
so that trustees shall be elected by the
congregations.

These are not theories; they are plain
facts. personally know that even
important bankers have informed Mr..
Bryan within the past few weeks that
they are no longer independent; that
they feel the enslaving, humiliating
clutch Of the great trusts and syndicates,
forcing them this way and that against
their will. The business community is
losing its independence; the trusts,
with a newly awakened realization of
power, are raising the prices Of every
thing they manufacture; in small towns
and villages clerks are taking the place
OF proprietors.
President Mckinley and Attorney
General GTiggs are alphabetically
inactive, They know that the Supreme
Court of the United States has declared
in the most positive and unmlstakable
language that the Anti Trust law passed
by Congress is constitutional, and that it
IS sufficient to reach the criminal nature
OF the trust conspiracy. The President
and the Attorney General know that at
the present time there is being organized
the most extensive and irresistible
combination OF railroad transportation,
hand in hand with the other trusts, and
that the nation is becoming weak and
bloodless under the burden. But they
also know that Mr.. Hanna expects to
get $4,000, 600 from the trusts to be used
in keeping the Administration power.
The Attorney General refuses TO enforce
the Anti Trust law, and the President
will not compel him to do it.
The result of my investigation in New
York and the Middle West during the
past few weeks is a firm conviction that
for the first time the country is aroused
to the real peril to a republican form Of
government arising from the trust
system, which Mr., Hanna says is a good
thing.
This is the supreme Democratic issue
No leader and no com bination ofleaders
can decrease its power or importance.
II is changing votes every hour, There
may be difference Of opinion regarding
legislation on the subject, but every
man have met here seems to under
stand that with President and Cabinet
free from the control oi the trusts the
country has better chance to strike al
the giant crimes OF the trusts than !:
possible when the President and th'
Cabinet place the whole power OF th'
Government behind the criminal com
hinations.

nifty, and that. hence, his course and
rulings throughout may be so well
fortified as to meet the approval OF the
Appellate Bench.
However that may be. il is hardly
possible that the Court Of Appeals will,
any more than the public does, view
with complacency the cruel and brutal
assault of Assistant District Attorney
Osborne on the unhappy wife of the
defendant, while summing up for the
State. Such an attack, in the circum-
stances repugnant to every instinct OF
mercy of American chivalrY toward a
helpless, crushed and despairing woman,
we should have thought would have
produced an instant end decisive revolt
in the jury box. That it, and similar
things, did not produce such an effect
only serves to show the truth Of those
two great basic maXims underlying the
whole fabric Of our juridical system.
One Of them IS that "self preservation IS
the first law of nature;" and the other is
that "You can never tell what a petit
jury Will do"
Yet, to be iair to the trial judge and
the jury, we perhaps ought to admit that
a strong case of probable guilt has been
made out against Molineux; though by
no means in such a way that most
dispassionate minds would not still say
a reasonable doubt exists, and the
prisoner should have the benefit OF it.
Indeed we NAV sum IN the situation in
the assertion, the truth of which we
thoroughly believe, that there are thou
sands .of hIghminded and intelligent
American men who believe him guilty
as matter OF moral conviction, who, il
they had been on the jury. would have
hung it until the end of time, rather than
convict him on the evidence, the unfair
play, and the malignancy OF the prose-
cution
