A NEW PASTOR.
Rev. Ernest Preuss Preached His Ini-
tfal sermon at st. stephens Church
Yesterday Morning.

Rev. Ernest Preuss HIS Ini-
tfaI Sermon at st. stephens Church
Yesterday Morning.
At the st. Stephens Reformed Con-
gregational church yesterday, services
were conducted by the newly appointed
pastor, Rev. Ernest Preuss, who came
here from Beaver, o. He preached
two in German, one in the
morning and the other in the evening,
before large congregations. The sub
ject of his initial sermon was Feeding
the Five Thousand" and in the even
ing his remarks were appropriate to
the Lenten season, being upon the
theme, 1.-THE death Of Christ was the
greatest love toward mankind" The
members of the congregation extended
a cordial welcome to the new pastor,
and will very likely hold a reception
in his honor in the near future.
The Rev. Preuss graduated from the
Wisina Seminary of Theology, in
Pennsylvania, and was ordained as
pastor of the German Reformed church
at Beaver, O., in 1897. He was in
charge of this church until a few
weeks ago. He accepted a call to the
pastorate of st. Stephens church, on
the South Side, on the 9th of last De-
cember. He will be installed in his
new charge by the church committee
in a few weeks.

respectively entitled stand Up for
Jesus, and Far, Far Away" were al-
SO rendered by the congregation.
Miss Essie Ellsworth recited q poem
entitled, "Siam." in quite a creditable
manner, receiving the commentator
of those present, and Miss Nellie Sny-
derder,. a student of the State Normal
school at West Liberty, gave a reci-
tation entitled. $50 Much To Do At
Home" thoroughly pleasing her hear
ers. Two selections entitled, "Comers,S
and Glow One Woman Helped" were
respectively given by Miss Louisa
thinner and Miss Margaret Bigger,
who were admirably received.
The concert opened with an organ
voluntary and anthem and Invocation
and closed with benediction. The exer-
cises served to more thoroughly en-
tighten the congregation upon mis-
sionary work at home and in foreign
lands and considerable credit is due
those having charge of the arrange
ment.

From south Carolina.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-1n ac-
cordance with their notice posted
shortly after January 1, 1900, promis-
ing an advance in their employees to
take effect April 1, 1900, the Ber-
wynd-White coal mining company to-
day notified all it's miners Of a general
advance of 20 per cent. The miners
are now placed upon a basis OF 80
cents per gross ton and all day labor
increased accordingly. This advance
will make the wages the highest paid
during the past thirty years and in
some instances the highest that have
ever existed by nearly seven per cent
The Berwynd-White Company have
made their advances voluntarily, start
ing with the upper tendencies of the
market in January, 1899. Since that
time and including this advance they
have advanced the general mining rate
33 1-3 per cent and the machine min
ing rate fifty per cent. The company
has over ten thousand employees.

A STATION
On the Monongahela Road Looted by
Thieves.

Special to the Register.
FAIRMONT, w. Va, March 25.-A
daring robbery has just been given out
by the authorities here. Watson's sta
ton, six miles south on the Monon-
gahela River road, was broken into
and the ticket case, containing all the
tickets, was carried off on the night
of the 23d inst. This is the fifth or
sixt hinstance in which the station has
been broken and entered during the
past year. On other occasions the
thief or thieves have carried off
liquors or merchandise. A secret SER
vice officer has been at work on the
case with very good results. Saturday
he recovered the case and tickets in
tact. The job was done by a gang
which has terrorized the neighborhood
for the past year, robbing almost at
will. The result of the Ease will prob
ably break up the gang. Warrants
for the arrest of several parties have
already been issued.

THE NOMINATION
OF Idle b Sugar Plants Is a Ser
tOus Question for Gov. Wood,
The Question of Arranging the E1ec-
tOral Commission is Also a Prob
lem Not Easy to SoIve-A Member
of the Commission Discusses the
Matter.

HAVANA, March Ex-Governor Cen
eral Wood has recently had interviews
with persons of influence who have
~strenuously urged the taxation of val
liable properties rather than each bag
of sugar, as it is manufactured. Those
who hold this view contend that under
the present system, impediments are
thrown in the way of production. They
point out that many valuable estates
have been lying idle and unproductive
for years, some even having complete
sugar plants. The owners who are
rich men, are living in Paris. Madrid
and other European cities, quite I'm
taxed for their property in Cuba.
Gen. Wood feels that if these proper
ties are taxed, their owners will be
forced either to sell them or to make
them productive.
Senior Pierra, a member of the sub
committee, who drew up the majority
report on the electoral commission,
discussing the matter to-day, said:
I'm Jul report we have endeavored
to arrange for the elections in such a
way as to secure fair play for all con-
cerned. The plan proposed by the mi
nority report, drawn up by Senior Tam
ago and Gen. Rivera, which suggests
that the Board of Registry be elected
by suffrage, has the drawback of leav-
ing too much power in the hands of the
civil governors. Under the minority
scheme the civil governors would NOM
mate election officers in the various
provincial districts; these officers, be-
ing charged with the conduct of the
elections, would choose the electoral
boards of three. In this way the civil
governors would have too much indi-
ridual influence in conducting the cleo

The Seal Catch a Big One.

ST. JOHNS, N. B., March 25.-The
sealing steamer Leopard, which took
shelter at Westerville yesterday in con-
sequence of the storm, is due to-mor-
row, and other steamers r expected
to arrive during the day.
Judging from reports thus far re-
ceived, the total number of seals ac-
tually taken by the fleet is about 269,-
900, and the prospect is that, as four
weeks Of the fishing season have yet
to run, this total will be increased by
some sixty thousand.
AS the entire catch last year was
only 247 900, this years figures promise
to be the best within twenty years.

SERGEANT GOLDEN
VIII Resume the stand To-day, ut
Frankfort, for Cross ExaminatiOn.
He win BE Followed ON the Witness
Stand by His wife, Who VIII Corr
roborate Her Husbands State-
ments-A Report denied.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 25.-The
examining trial of the Republican Sec
rotary of State, Caleb Powers, will be
resumed tomorrow morning. Sergeant
F. Wharton Golden, who. it is alleged,
turned States evidence, will continue
on the witness stand for cross-examin-
alton, his direct testimony having been
concluded Saturday. When his exam
.ination is completed. Mrs. Golden. his
wife, will be introduced as a witness,
also for the prosecution, and it is re-
ported that she would c~orroborate her
husbands testimony On many import
ant points. The physicians who made
the autopsy on the body of the late
William E. Goebel will probably also
be introduced as witnesses.
The Republican Adjutant General,
Collier, to-day denied that mines were
being laid around the arsenal and cap
itol grounds, and in an explanatory
communication to the Democratic AS
sistant General, Murray, Collier said
that some indiscreet men at the ar
senal had dug trenches and made a
pretense of laying miles to create a
sensation, but the work was entirely
without the sanction or knowledge. Of
Gen. Collier, and the men engaged
have been sharply reprimanded.
If witness Golden really goes on the
stand for cross-examination to-mor-
row morning, the defense hopes to con-
clude the examining trial OF Tuesday.
Golden is the last of the prosecutions
witnesses. so it has been understood.
Since his illness in the court room he
has completely recovered and yester-
day afternoon and this morning he has
been seer on the streets. 1t was stat
ed to-day that he went to Georgetown.
1t is thought tonight he will be able
to go on the stand again tomorrow.
1t is the general impression that the
defense may make no effort to contro-
vert Golden's statement in the exam
lining trial. An examining Judge needs
to have only a reasonable suspicion of
guilt to bind a prisoner over to the
grand jury and as it is evident Judge
Moore has this it would be folly for the
defense to show it's hand before the
real trial.
The whole of Golden's testimony
tended to throw suspicion on "Tallow
Dick Coombs, a colored barber at Be-
attyville. Coombs says he can prove
his innocence and is willing to go into
custody if he is wanted.
Hsrland Whitaker (white), Dick
Coombs (colored), and numerous other
persons have at various times been sus-
pected of firing the fatal shot. but the
prosecution have not yet identified the
murderer.

with regard to the representation OF
mfnorities, Senior Pierra said:
Although no political parties have
been formed, there are two well mark
ed political tendencies, the Radical and
the Conservative. Moreover, local M
terests will play a prominent part in
the elections. For instance, in Havana
the principal issue will lie between the
workingmen and the land owners. The
former are a majority. Nevertheless,
the committee has arranged so that
the landholders will not be left unrep-
resented. The votes are to be taken
according to the ten existing sections
into which Havana is now divided.

A further reduction at the reichsbank is

The great demand for capital here. dur

theless values are rather firm. Domestic
industrials are again advancing moderate
