PAYING OFF CHURCH DEBTS
Methodist Congregations Relieving
Themselves From Incumbrance.


Themselves From Incumbrance
The Methodist churches of Minneapolis
are at present prospecting to a remarka-
BILE degree, particularly so in a financial
way
Bishop l. w. Joyce conducted services
at Forest Heights church yesterday morn
Ing for the particular purpose of raising
the remainder of the debt on that church,
which amounted to $500. The Church
Extension society promised to contribute
$1,000 if the church would care for the
balance. Bishop Joyce called the atten-
ton of the congregation to this, and Pre-
siding Elder William Fielder assumed
charge of the contributions. The mem
bers of the church are not of the wealthy
class, and the fact that 1880 was secured
in fifty minutes is evidence of their roy
atty to the church 1t means that today
Forest Heights church is free from debt.
Great inroads on the church debt have
been made in Trinity church. This is a
small society, and the debt was 81 200, in
the form Of a mortgage. This has been
wiped out, and Bishop Joyce will conduct
the services in commemoration of this
epoch in the history of the church July 1.
July Is he will conduct services at King
Street church, st. Paul, in occasion of the
society having wiped out its debt. He will
be at Monticello, July s, and at ST. Cloud,

w. Arctander, feels rather confident that
the preliminary examination, at which
the state will have to show it's case, will
result In Johnson's dismissal. The au-
thOrities, however, believe that Johnson
will be held to the grand jury.
John Donahue, Sheriff Merrill's other
suspect, still remains in a cell at the CEN
trail police station, with no charge of
any kind against him. Nothing was
heard yesterday from Sheriff Merrill,
and the police are considerably exasper-
ated. They will communicate with Mer-
Till this morning and attempt to ascer-
tain what he intends doing with Dona-
hue. Meanwhile Donahue can secure his
release in fifteen minutes if he is able
to secure an attorney, as his present de-
tention in Jail In this city is entirely
illegal.
