REV. h. ASHTON HENRY
RESIGNS HIS CHARGE
Rector Compelled to Give
Up Pastoratc on Account
of Bad Health

At yesterday mornings service in
Trinity Church the resignation Of the
Rev. H. Ashton Henry as rector Of the
church was read to the congregation.
who received it with great regret.
A year ago, by reason of i'll health,
Mr.. Henry handed his resignation to
the vestry of Trinity Church, but it
was refused and he was given a years
leave of absence. He then went TO Eu-
rope and for time it was thought that
he was improving sufficiently to take
up his work. Last week, however, a
letter was received from Mr.. Henry
written at oxford. England-in which
he explained that after being examined
by a physician he had come to the con-
clusion that he could not take up his
work again in this city at the expira-
ton of his leave Of absence, next OctO-
Der. Accordingly he sent his resigna-
tion for the second time.
on Friday night last the vestry Of
the church considered the resignation
and it was accepted with deep regret.
Mr.. Henry has been rector of Trinity
Church since 1887, and it was largely
through his exertions that the new
church building was erected at Adams
street and Delaware avenue. His
charge here comprised Trinity parish,
including Old Swedes Church, and he
succeeded the Rev. Henry b. Martin.
He had been active in all church work
and his ability was generally recog-
nized. For a number of years he was
a member and chairman of the stand
ing committee of the diocese Of Della
ware, an important church body. He
was always interested in civic affairs
and stood for good government and a
faithful performance Of public duties
For two years he had been in poor
health, and at last he was compelled
to lay down his work.
He viii reach this country on Satur-
day next and viii go to Saratoga foi
two or three months. Further thar
that he has made no plans. The an
nouncement of his resignation came as
surprise to most of the congregation
yesterday.

SALVORS SEEK
SUNKEN TREASURE
Historic Vessel at Bottom of
Delaware Bay Contains
Money and Chinaware

VOLUNTEER salvors, hopeful of treasure
trove at the bottom of Delaware Bay,
seek the cargo of the famous old ship
John. sunk in the channel and one and
three quarters centuries ago at a point
now known as Ship John Light.
Antique china, which composed part
of the ship Johns cargo, has from time
TO time been picked up in the vicinity
by fishermen and some fishing boats
have replenished their pantries with
earthenware. The good condition of this
china led to the belief that other parts
of the cargo were of value and efforts
to salve it were begun some time ago
by parties whose identity is a carefully
guarded secret.
The John foundered in the early part
of the year 1872 while on her way from
Gravesend, England, to Philadelphia.
