METHoDIsTs HAVE APPROVED.
New Constitution of the Church Has
 Received Necessary Votes.

New Constitution of the Church Has
 Received Necessary Votes.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Announcement is made here that the new constitution of the Methodist Episcopal church. which was adopted at the last general conference of that denomination held it the Auditorium in May, 1900, and referred to the various conferences throughout the country. has finally been approved by the three-quarters vote required. The vote is as follows: Yeas, S,196; nays, 2,513.
 The element which opposed the new organic law of the church because it provided for the admission of women as delegates to the general conference made war on the new constitution all along the line, but met with defeat. One hundred and twenty-one annual conferences voted on the question, a total of 10,709 ballots being cast by delegates.
 The principal changes provided for by the new constitution are: 1t gives women the right to sit as delegates in the general conference.
 It gives laymen's electoral meetings authority to vote on constitutional questions.
 It changes the vote necessary in the general conference to amend the con stitution from three-fourths to two thirds.

Wife of the Rear Admiral Says He Is
 Beyond Recovery Mentally.
 Urbana. III, Dec 27.--John E. Weeks of Champagne, a personal friend of Rear Admiral Sampson, has received q letter from Mrs Sampson in which she says the mental condition of the ad- miral is beyond recovery. The letter was written in reply to a note expres- sing sympathy with the rear admiral in the personal annoyance he has suf- fered in the controversy with Rear Admiral Schley. The letter follows:
 Washington, D. C., Dec g.
 My Dear Mr Weeks: Admiral Sampson is too ill to really understand your most kind letter. just received. but if he were well he would wish to thank you for it. he cares so much for all ''old times'' and for anything that concerns Palmyra.
 The wording of your letter shows that living in the west has not blinded your eyes to the truth concerning re- cent events. l have enjoyed your ex- pression of the true facts as you un- derstand them.
 My dear husband is quite worn out with a long life of concentrated duty. Physically he is comfortable and hap py, but the brain is tired beyond eyer being rested

MAY CONFESS CRIME.
Light on the Hudson Tragedy is Ex-
 pected,

Light on the Hudson Tragedy is Ex-
 HUDSON, N. l., Dec. 27.-Haryey Bruce, one of the four nephews of Farmer Peter Hallenbeck, who are un- der arrest here charged with the old mans assassination on Christmas eve, is counted on to make confession that will explain the motives which prompt ed the youthful quartet to their cold blooded crime.
 Hallenbeck was called to his kitchen door Christmas eve while all the in- mates of his house except his invalid wife and her aged mother were at a Christmas tree festival at the Reform ed church, few rods down the road. He opened the door, and four men thrust revolvers into his face.
 They said nothing, but fired. He was shot in the face and arms. He turned to grab his shotgun from behind the kitchen door, and volley of bullets was sent into his back. He fell to the floor dead, while his wife looked on. Then the murderers pumped lead into his body until their reyolvers were empty.
 Christmas morning Bert, Fred and Willis Van Wormer and Harvey Bruce, nephews of the murdered man, were arrested and jailed here. They do not lcok like farmer boys. They have clean, intellectual faces and wear city clothes. All of them have preserved absolute silence, even to denying the suspicion against them.
 Columbia county is wrought up to an unwonted pitch by the assassination of Peter Hallenbeck. In the hamlet of Greenport, four miles south of here, Hallenbeck was looked up to as the leading man of the community. He was aged and wealthy
 One of his second wife's sisters, the Widow Van wormer, had three sons, Bert, Fred and Willis. They were mis- chieyous and seldom industrious
 Another sister the wife of Jonas Bruce, had boy scarcely sixteen years old, who seemed bent on following in the ways of his cousins, the Van Wormers. The eldest of the Van NVormer boys is only twenty-three.
 Between the Hallenbecks and Van Wormers there has been q feud of ex- ceeding bitterness.
 According to one story, Hallenbeck, tiring Of showering kindnesses on Mrs. Van Wormer and her boys foreclosed a mortgage on her property recently, and the family moved to Kinderhook, twenty miles away

Charles AIcAIann Has Peculiar Exper-
 fence With Christmas Tree.
 Derby, Dec 27.-Cbarles AIcAIann had quite an experience while out hunting for Christmas trees last Mon day He went into the woods and af- fer looking around for some time lie finally selected fine young tree as the one which he would carry home. He started to climb the, tree and after getting about ten feet from the ground proceeded to chop it, This is where he made a mistake. as he afterward dis covered, for instead of chopping the tree above his head he chopped be- meath him.
 He is q good worker and soon the tree was cut in two. In the natural course of events the tree fell and with it McMann. He was stunned for a short time, but after a while it came to his dazed mind how it all happened. He had grit, however, and he carried that tree home with him. He fortu- nately received no serious injuries, his back and shoulders being only trif1e lame.

Prosecuting Attorney Entertained the
 Company by Accordion Selections.
 The usual search for judge took place in the city court this morning. and while awaiting the coming of one Prosecutor Durant entertained the spectators with selections of popular airs upon an accordion, which had been lying upon Clerk McMahon's desk. The instrument was a feature in the only case that was to be dis posed of by the court, a case of theft of $S4 Sally in Our Alley and -Goo-Goo Eyes, had been run off with s'great effect by the prosecutor when Judge Peasley entered the court room just in time to catch the inspiriting Iones of When I Was With Patti" The instrument was thereupon laid aside and business was commenced.
 Joseph Goker, the only occupant of the dock, was charged with stealing from the person of Joseph DamriSchi $S4. Through an interpreter it was RScertained from Damroschi that Go ker professed great friendship for him and that yesterday they were drinking Together at Goker'S invitation. It was GOker who suggested that they come over to town; they live in Brooklyn. So they were drinking and discussing things pertaining to their old home in Europe. Damr0schi had brought with him his all, $S4, in q large purse with three compartments. almost as large as the pOcketbOOkS which women wear suspended from their waists. Be fore leaving the saloon. which is situ- ated OIt Grand street. though no name was mentioned in the evidence. Dam rOSchf missed his pocketbook- and upon returning to Brooklyn told his friend Of his loss. The news was Transmitted to Officers Kennaugh and Brickel and they lost no time in secur- ing Goker. They took him into a sa- loon. and while searching him there he worked hole through his trousers pocket and slipped the pocketbOOk through. The book touched Officer Brickers foot and thereupon he was self-conYicted-
 By this time, however. GoSer had bought q gold watch and chain, three finger rings and an accordion. all of which cost $66 A good deal of the balance was spent in more drink.

HARTFoRD's FEMALE FOUNDER
Her Name is Maud Hunter, Once q
 School Teacher


 Maud Hunter, who according to the police, says the Hartford Times, was a handsome girl a few years ago. was arrigned in the police court this morn- ing on the charge of drunkenness. She pleaded guilty. Judge Bill said he did not care to hear any testimony, and Maud was sent to jail for thirty days. It is said that Maud was a school teacher before she went wrong. The drink habit ruined her, and her record on the police blotter is nowsa as long as that of any rounder.
 1t was not until two or three years ago that persons interested in the girl gave up hope of reforming her. She began to associate with the lowest characters on the East Side and lost all modesty. To-day she is utterly de prayed and apparently has no sense of shame. Acting Chief Ryan remarked. yesterday, that there was a time when Maud was brought into the station when she would say: q drink rum, captain. but that is the worst thing you can say of me-
 When Maud was brought into the police court yesterday she was singing Good Morning, Carrie' Looking to- wards the gallery she said: Look at the specked potatoes who have climbed the golden stairs to rubber Did yol have a pleasant Christmas. boys? I as. sure you the pleasure was nea all your own.''
