Martin Meyers, about twenty-five years

the st. Charles Hotel 49, Pennsylvania
Avenue northwest, shortly before noon
today A gas jet turned fully on indicat-

never be known The body was removed

deceased notified
Meyers arrived in Washington from
Richmond last night and was taken to
the St. Charles Hotel by a porter for the
house. After registering he was shown 10
a room on the upper floor about $50

odor of gas and traced 1t 10 the room

GRINNELL, Iowa. April S-Prof-
George D. Heron will be tried by the
Iowa Congregational Association, but It
will not be on the charge Of heresy, but
for conduct ''unbecoming a Christian and

The reports from New York that the
church would seek 10 expel him from
membership because of his heretical and
Socialfstic teachings are declared abso-
lUtely false.
The ConsregatiouaIists do not propose
that Prof Heron shall pose as a martyr
when the charge against him is solely
that Of lack Of moral character Rev.
r. Il Vittum, who has been for three
years pastor OF the GrinneH Congregation

1t is the first intimation I have ever
had that anyone had thought Of making
any such movement. Heron has been in
the association and church for eight
years and what MI Wentworth, Mr..

A COTTON MILL COMBINE.

known manufacturer of this city is aa-
tbority for the statement that J P. Nor
gan q Co, are negotiating for the pur-
chase Of the cotton mills here. with the
intention Of combining them into a gil
gantic company.
The first movement that attracted at
tentioH was the sending of agents through
the Southern States. whose business 1t
was to look over the mills Of that locality
to ascertain the value of the plants and
talk with the owners, with an idea Of OBJ
tanning control Of the stock. So far as
IS known, no one has been directly ap-
preached in Fall River, and the policy
seems to be to secure options on as many
mills as possible outside of this city. and
then, by enlisting the services Of a few
leaders here, purchase the stock of local
corporations at a valuation to be fixed
by these men.
While the project has probably not
reached a stage where IT can be stated
with certainty that such a conbiHs ton
VIII finally be formed, there are a num-
Der OF facts which can be given. which
show pretty cOncIusfvely that the Nor
gan syndicate or some body Of men of
large financial means has its lines out
