Jury May lndict Witnesses.

The suit OF william Kelly against the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company for
$50, 900 damages before Justice Marean in
the Supreme Court, Brooklyn. came TO an
abrupt end yesterday morning. The as
tonishing developments in the testimony
Of the witnesses for the deferc, on Tuesday
afternoon. which caused the Court to say
that the case was saturated with fraud,
forced Lawyer Jacob NJ. Bimhaum counsel
for Kelly, to ask for a chance to vindicate
himself.
Justice Marean told Mr.. Bmbaum that
he was willing to allow him to go on the
witness stand and exoneratc himself.
Lawyer Bimbaum then took the stand
and made a clear and straightforward
statement OF the case as he understood II.
He was severely cross-examincd by Henry
longe Of counsel for the railway COM
pany. After the ordeal Mr.. Bimbaum was
congratulated bv many of the lawyers who
were present on his convincing statement.
which apparently completely exonerates
him of any possible charge OF collusion.
Former Assistant Corporation Counsel
Luke ID. Stapleton, counsel for the railway
company, asked the Court that the testi-
inony Of two Of the witnesses for Kelly,
Murphy and Burns be sent to the District
Attorney. He also asked that the plaintiff
kclly, be held for the Grand Jury.
The Court told Mr.. Stapleton that II he
would prepare an information he would
sign II IA a committing Magistrate.
The case was then dismissed on an order
from Justice Marean that II be non-suil ed.
Lawyer Henry Yonge said after the close
of the case that theiend was not yet.

MINISTERS MEET
Baptist, Congregational and
Methodist C|ergymen in Session

The regular weekly meeting OF the Bap-
tist Ministers OF Providence and vicinity
was held in the small hall OF the Y. NJ.
c. A. this morning with the president.
Rev. T. c. Gleason In the chair. There
was a good attendance and much interest
centred In a paper on Christian Science"
read by Rev. Frank Rector, ID. D.. Of the
First Baptist church OF Pawtucket
The paper opened with an historical
sketch OF the origin or rise Of Christian
Science and then enlarged upon the topic,
What Is Christian Science?"
In this connection the speaker discussed
first, its philosophy; second, It's theology.
and third, It's therapeutics.
Under the head What is the extent
and influence OF Christian Science?" the
speaker said 1T has permeated societies
and churches throughout the country. 1t
claims COO churches. 1900 ministers and
one million members"
In response TO the query What Is the
source Of power in Christian Science?"
Dr. Rector said: Its power lies In Its
devoutness. 1t emphasizes the eminence
OF God and It's power to heal disease"
In conclusion DR.. Rector said. Toward
Christian Science we can AFFORD TO be re-
spectful. There are some things therein
which seem commendable. 1t is correct
in emphasizing the duty of hopefulness.
We do need more rest and trustful repose
amid the distracting interests OF this
hurrying age.
Mind is superior to matter, and here
we have large victories TO win. God Is
near at hand, not a remote spectator
seated In some unknown world. All TINS
let US willingly concede But philosophy
which contradicts the testimony of all our
senses and the fixed conclusions OF his
tory Is not only false. IL is positively VI
cious And when enthusiastic. but mis-
guided. mutitudes give themselves over
To delusion so palpable as this. 1t be-
comes our province TO teach them the
ways OF the Lord more perfectly, lest
they pierce themselves through with
many sorrows.'
The regular weekly meeting OF the Con-
gregational minister's was held In the Bl-
| bic room OF the Beneficent church at 1880
