ISSUES STATEMENT.
Explanation Made Concerning Suit O

Explanation Made Concerning Suit Of
Rev. Mr.. Troyvs. Rev. Peter Ainsiie
The following statement has been is
sued from Baltimore in connection with
the notice printed recently of the suit
of the Rev. John H. Troy. of this city.
against the Rev. Peter Ainslie, of the
Calhoun-Stree Christian Church, of Bal
timore:
You have recently published an ac-
count of a suit instituted by Mr.. Troy
against the Rev. Peter Ainslie to recover
500 alleged to be due by him to Mr..
Troy. AS matter of justice to Mr..
Ainslie we wish to say that the money
referred to is not and has not been in
Mr.. Ainslie's possession, but was turned
over to the committee of his church,
consisting of Captain w. J. ,ohannon.
H. d. MentZel, j. j. Jenkins. w. S.
Lowdenslager and ]. B. Showacre.
The money referred to is a part of
the money which is contributed by the
American Christian Missionary Society to
aid new churches and to afford a guar.
antee of the ministers compensation. The
contract, therefore, provides that II the.
receipts from other sources are sufficient
for that purpose, the Missionary Society'sy
contribution ceased. and for this reason
the contract provides that the minister
before receiving any installment. shall
render an account of his receipts from
other sources.
When the society sent the money here
they directed that it should be paid to
Mr.. Troy and his statement Of the ac-
count, as required by his agreement The
committee informed Mr.. Troy and also
his counsel that the money was ready to
be paid to him whenever he would COM
ply with his agreement and send his
account Mr.. Troy declined to make
any statement Of account, and for this
reason the money has not been paid to
him. The money is now, as 1t has all
ways been. ready to be applied to the
payment of whatever may be due him
when he complies with his agreement to
give his account. The statement that
there ever existed a contract between
Calhoun-Street Church as such and Mr..
Troy for any part Of his salary Is abso-
slutely false; nor has Calhoun-Street
Church ever paid to Mr.. Ainslie a dollar
Il to he paid to Mr. Troy as part Of his
salary for his work at the mission.
81 we think that the standing OF the
committee as business men Is sufficient
guarantee of good faith in their dealings
sof this character and TO assure any
