DEENER TAKEN IN.
Former Methodist Pastor Must
Answer Old Criminal
Charges.
Fled to Mexico Many Years Ago But
Returned to Arkansas and
Was Knabbed,

Many of our readers remember the
case of Rev. S. r. Deener, who was
once an honored member of the
White River Conference and was
considered one of the most eloquent
preachers in the conference. He got
into trouble over financial matters,
was arrested and let out on bona,
He jumped his bond and left the
country. Our recollection is that
he served as pastor at Mariana,
Searcy and other important places
and was exceedingly popular. But
he is again in the meshes OF the law,
as will be seen by the following
story taken from the Newport Inde-
pendent:
''Sheriff John. A. Hinkle Of Inde-
pendence county, was in Newport
Tuesday morning with a prisoner in
charge, who nine years ago was pas
tor of the Southern Methodist church
at Batesville. His name, as will be
remem bared by all those living here
at that time, was R. S. Deener.
"He enjoyed the confidence of a
large portion of his church member
ship, until it suddenly became dis
closed that be had violated the laws,
whose penalty was penitentiary
sentence. He was indicted on five
different counts, two OF them being
for forgery and obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. Upon being ar
rested he gave bond, which was
madeup by relatives of his wife, $500
being required on each account or
81, 500 in the aggregate.
when he thus secured liberty, he
was not long in taking his departure
presumably for Mexico, where he
could rot be secured, as this courtry
had no extradition treaty with Mex
leo covering such an otfense. The
bond given by his relatives was re-
garded as the purchase of his liberty
and his flight to Mexico was looked
upon as proof of his guilt.
"But Deener it seems became ven
tureseme as the years rolled by and
came back to Arkansas on a visit to
his wife's relatives at Huntington;
where he was arrested by Sheriff
Hinkle. He must now stand trial for
these charges at Batesville.

THE pAUNCEFOTE FUNERARL.

Washington. May EFT is evident
from the preparations so far made
that the funeral of the late Lord
Pauncefote will be conducted with
great dignity and will be made a
memorable occasion. All of the avail
able military and naval forces in
Washington and vicinity will take
part in the procession The services
at St. Johns church will be conduct
ed by Coadjutor Bishop Mackey-
Smith, though Bishop Satterlee will
attend. Officially the attendance will
be confined to the president and his
cabinet, the diplomatic body, the SUI
prvme court, the members Of the sem
ate committee on foreign relations,
and the house committee on foreign
affairs, and Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Miles and their staffs, the bureau
chiefs Of the state department and
the assistant secretaries from the
other departments
It is pretty well settled that the
remains of the late Lord Pauncefote
will be carried to England on an
American warship and either the
Olympia, flagship of the North At
lantic squadron and Admiral Dew
ey's flagship at Manila, or the
Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's flagship
at Santiago bay, which is just re-
turning from Cuba, will be selected
for this duty. The date of departure
will depend upon the convenience OF
the Pauncefote family, but it is GER
tain that the casket can not be land
ed on English soil before the conclu-
sion of the coronation cedemomes.

Pottsville- Pa, May 27.-Since the
Inauguration of the strike in the an
thracite coal region there has been a
continuous exodus of mine workers
from the SchuyllSill district. Many
of the miners have taken their faInd-
lies with them, their intention being
to locate permanently in other fields.
Most of the departing mine workers
are foreigners, but many English
speaking strikers are among the
number.
Since the suspension two dozen En-
glish-speaking families have left
Frackville. Buck Mountain has been
practically deserted, and New Phila-
delphia is being rapidly depopulated.
It is estimated that over 1000 mine
workers have left Shenandoah and VI

ITAE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Presbyterians Decide to Hold Their
Next General Assembly
at Los Angeles.
An OVERTURE GETS ADVERSE ACTION.
The Assembly Voted Against Minis
ters Coming From the Southern
Presbyterian Charch Being Hon
Orably Retired With the Same
Privileges ~ All Others.

New York, May a7.-The Presby-
terian general assembly at to-day's
session chose Los Angeles, Cal, as
the place Of next meeting.
The general assembly acted ad-
versely on an overture from the
Presbytery Of Los Angeles request
ing that ministers coming from the
southern Presbyterian church be
honorably retired with the same
privileges as if they had served al
ways with the church under the gen
eral assembly. The matter came be-
fore the assembly in q report from
the committee on ministerial relief,
which recommended adverse action.
Rev. VIM. 9. Young, DID,, pastor of
the Emanuel Presbyterian church,
Los Angeles, advised that the assem-
bly, act favorably on the overture. In
the west, he said, there were many
southern branch, and that favorable
action by the assembly would help to
bring the two churches together.
Rev. DR.. Thomas Parry, of Wilkins
burg, Pa, chairman of the commit
tee, took the opposite view. He said
it would open the door for ministers
of other denominations to come to
the Presbyterian church and claim
the same privileges as the ministers
who had served the general assembly
all their lives.
Rev. DR.. Benjamin L. Agnew, Of
Philadelphia, corresponding secre-
tary of the board of ministerial re-
lief, spoke in the same vein. He said
the result of granting the demand
of the Presbytery of the Los Angeles
would be that many of the retired
ministers who had always been with
the Northern Presbyterian church
would have their already scant al
lowances cut down.
'sWhen the civil war was closed"
he said, 81 would have been willing TO
vote for the union of the two church
es, but 1 am utterly opposed to hold
ing out any money consideration to
win them over. When they will come
over to us on principle they will
have the same privileges as our
members"
Rev. DR.. James D. McIlvain, of Bal
timore, said it would be unfortunate
if the overture did not receive favor
able action There is no difference
with US between the church-north
or SOUTH" he said.
When the question of selecting a
meeting place was taken up, Rev. DR..
Henry C. Minton, former moderator,
made ten-minute address in favor
of Los Angeles, Cal. He said Los An
geles had worked two years to get
the assembly, and should have it next
year.
Rev. DR.. Richard S. Holmes, of
Pittsburg, pointed out that there
was a great difference between the
mileage for Cleveland and Los An
geles.
'If you want to burden the mem
bership for such big sum as this
difference wouIu De, let the money
go to home missions, or to pay Off
the debt on the Presbyterian build
ing. We have no right to do a thing
to favor any big corporation or rail
