Greensboro. NJ c., Jan. 27.-Rev. r.
Il. Bryant, Methodist minister of
this county, met Brigham H Roberts,
the Congressman-elect from Utah,
whose case is Just now attracting such
Widespread attention, in debate few
years ago. 1t was while Mr.. Bryant
was pastor OF work in the southern
part CT this State. the community at
inc time being infested by four Nor
mon elders, one OF whom was Roberts.
The Methodist divine announced that
on Il given Sunday he would pay his
respects to the Mormon Church and it's
doctrines. AS the appearance of the
elders in the community had crea ted
considerable interest In the subject,
the church was filled by an overlooking
cofSpgation on the appointed Sabbath
MI. Bryant exposed the fallacies Of
the deceptive doctrines OF NIormonism,
and warned his people against the
trickery and deceit OF the elders then
at work in their section, comparing
them to wolves in sleeps clothing.
Roberts had learned of the preachers
intention to EXPOSE NIormonism, and
attended the services for the purpose of
refuting any unpleasant statements
that might be madcI
At the close of the sermon he arose
and asked to be heard Permission be-
ing granted, he proceeded TO deny in n
most vehement manner most OF the as
sertions made in the sermon, especially
that part relating to tho practice Of
polygamy among the N1ormons
But the circuit rider was armed with
facts. and cited the elder to his proof.
a lively colloquy ensued and it Is said
that Eoberts was completely routed.
The sermon had the desired effect and
caused the elders to leave the section
IN post-haste. So intense was the feel
ing against them that, had it not been
Tor the intervention of Rev. Mr.. Bryant,

POSTAL STATISTICS.
Brief Outline of Report of Fourth As
sis:ant Postmaster General Bristow.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General John L.
Bristow in his annual report recommends
an amendment to the interstate COM
merce law prohibiting telegraph and ex-
press companies or their employees from
aiding or abetting in the greengoods or
lottery swindes or any other scheme
carried on partly by mail and partly by
common carrier and in violation of the
postal laws.
Other legislation urged is as follows:
Authorizing postofTice inspectors to take
out search warrants whenever necessary
for payment of incidental expenses In
CURED by local officers or others in the
arrest. detention and keeping of prison.
ers violating postal laws until trans
ferred to the United States marshars
custody; construction of inspectors look
out towers in postOflices whenever
deemed necessary by the postmaster gen.
eral, and prohibiting loose puching of cir
culars, calendars, ETC., owing to small
pieces of mail matter, frequently slipping
in large unsealed envelopes in transit.
There were 1912 appointments OF
postmasters made during the past fiscal
year, 14,435 being Of the fourth-class
and 70T being presidential, an increase
of 53S in all over last year. There also
has been an increase in the number OF
postmasters. Fewer removals for ir-
regularities were made than last year.
There were 5000 postofiices established
during the year. an increase OF 605 over
last year and 1892 officers were dlscor
tinued, an increase of 407 discontinu.
ances over last year; mostly due to ru-
raj free delivery extension and public
highway improvements. A vigorous ef.
fort has been made to suppress post.
offices conducted throughout the country
for the sole benefit of some corporations,
nursury company, patent medicine fem
or other private institution whose opera
tions deprive the government of its legit
innate revenues. The company or corpor-
alton usually has some one connected
with it appointed postmaster and gets
the advantage of the cancellations or the
salary and allowances of the postmas-
ter. These institutions sometimes have
derived thousands of dollars of revenue
from the government which virtually
amounted to a commission or discount on
their postal business.
There were AZ designations and 40
deaths of presidential postmasters and
919 deaths and Sob designations Of
fourth-cass postmasters. On June 80
last the number of postolices was 76,-
6SS, as follows:
First-class, 194; second-class, $50;
third, 3,1S7; fourth, 72,455.
The total number of arrests during the
fiscal year for offenses against the postal
laws was 1926, including l19 postmas-
ters, % assistant postmasters and III
postoflice clerks, carriers and other pos
tai employees. OF the total number ar
rested 526 were convicted.

CHARGES NOT PROVEN.
Governor Roosevelt Declines to Gust
Mayor Van wyck.

ALBANY, Nov. Ex-Governor Roose
welt last night gave out his decision in
che application for the removal from
office of Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck Of
New York city. He declines to remove
the mayor on the grounds that while he
was undoubtedly a stockholder in the
American Ice company there has been no
proof that he wilfully violated the law
forbidding a public officer to be a stock
holder in a corporation having dealings
with his municipality.
The governors memorandum says:
"Thc brief presented by Mr.. Hayes of
counsel to The World, undated, but re
ceived in this office Nov. 20, contains no
additional testimony or indication where
additional testimony can be obtained.
The situation is therefore unchanged
from what it was on Oct. 1, 1900, when
the attorney general wrote his letter to
me.
There is therefore as stated by the
attorney gY,cral in his letter of Nov.
%, little to add to what was contained
in his letter Of Oct. and in the state
ment issued by me on Nov. II.
81 concur in the attorney generals
opinion. Sly judgment is that the so
called ice trust is not a corporation in
which the mayor of New York should
Lave stock. But no proof has been Of
frled of any wilful violation of law on
the part of lhc mayor as would justify
drastic measure of removing him from
Once. The power of removal from Of
fee of eleci We officers should he treated
much as we treat the power of i'm
pch1hment 1t is an extraordinary and
not an ordinary remedy.
THE norman remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to The people,
and only in wholly exceptional cases is
it desirable to substitute for this appeal
to the people, an appeal to the power VI
removal or the power of impeachment
"The case is therefore dismissed.

NO TROUBLE ABOUT DEBTS,
Duke of Manohester's Father-In-Law Says
Duke VIII Enter Politics.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Eugene Zim.
norman, whose daughter was married 10
the Duke of Manchester a week or so
ago in England, was interviewed here
yesterday. He said to a reporter:
81 have come here to meet my daughter
and her husband. After they have rest
ed here few days we will go to Gin
cinnati and reception will be given at
my home. The duke is bright chap
He's fine, manly fellow, l like a man
who went to work as he did as a news
paper man when he was here.
Some of his articles were first rate,
too. At no time was | opposed to his
marriage to my daughter Those stories
are al moonshine."
rs it true that the duke is in a bad
way financiallyY asked the reporter.
81 guess there won't be any difficulty
about his debts. Not at all. That does
not make any difference. l don't care to
speak about the marriage portion. That
is private matter. But there won't be
any trouble about debts. They will be
well that's all right; all right"
"Is it likely that the duke may settle
down in America and enter the railroad
businessW
"No, no. The duke is going into Brit
ish politics. He is entitled to a seat In
the house of lords and he is going to turn
his attention to politics."

PHILLIPS CORN CORNER.
Price Went Up to so Cents and He Sold
Some to Check Advance.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Corn for Novem-
Der delivery sold yesterday on the board
of trade at 30 cents per bushel, the high
est price since 1891, when, owing to pro-
tracted drouth, the market advanced
close to the e0-cent mark. Since that
time the coarse cereal has sold almost
down to 20 cents per bushel.
That there are vast quantities of corn
in the country is well knokn, George ii.
Phillips, member of the Chicago board,
taking advantage of the fag-end of Il
protracted bull deal on the local ex-
change, which had resulted in the deple-
tion of the contract stocks of corn in
Chicago, gradually picked up all offer
ings and yesterday apparently showed
that he had effected the most perfect
corner in the recent history of the board.
Practically no contract corn is coming
to market.
Phillips did little to advance the mar
ket yesterday, it advanced on the efforts
of shorts to cover. When 80 cents was
bid Phillips sold 100000 bushels or so
and checked the advance. The market
opened one cent higher than Saturday at
46, rose TO 80 cents and closed at 40
cents, IL net gain of four cents.

POLICE ARE SCORED.
Popular Opinion Condemns Their Action
In Heating Case.

M
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Nov. 27.-Pop-
llar opinion severely condemns the po-
ice department for laXity in examining
the scene of the Heating murder for
traces of the perpetratOr. When the
body of Miss Heating was found, the po-
ice apparently made no effort to search
for footprints of the murderer at the
place of the murder. In fact the crowds
that visited the scene before the body
was removed were permitted to crowd up
close to the corpse instead of being kept
at a distance so that if there were any
tracks, in the soft soil they might b"
preserved and measured.
Many persons hold to the theory thac
the woman was murdered in a house and
that her lifeess body was dragged to the
place where it was found. The police de-
clare that without question the woman
was waylaid AS she passed along Davis
street and that her asSlil? = DRAGGED
her from Hickey's barn tJ t.. spot back
of the bill board where the body VAS
found last Wednesday mo-.ing. The
police believe that the young woman
tainted when attacked and that she re-
gained consciousness after being dragged
back of the bill board and that she tried
to fight off her assailant who to quiet her
choked her to death.
The coroner's inquest yesterday was
again adjourned in order to allow the
coroner and his assistants to appear IN
the Fuller hearing in police court The
Fuller hearing was commenced at 3
O'clock Fuller sat near his uncle w +.
Spratt of Hamilton, Ont, and seemed lit
tie concerned about what was going on
about him. The court room contained
less than a dozen spectators when the
examination begun.
