PASTOR on TRIAL FOR PEEPING.
NeighbOrs Charged rms He watched
Women Preparing 20 Retire.

Utica, Ohio, Dec. 4.-The church trial
OF thu Rev. 7. Boyd Gay. former pastor OF
the Utica Presbyterian Church, opened
thism morning.
The Rev. Mr.. Gay is charged with peeping
into the windows Of his ~neighbor's houses.
II is alleged by those who made the charges
that the minister generally peeped into the
windows IN the evening while women were
disrobing for the night.
The formal charges against the minister
are conduct unbecoming a minister of the
Gospel and classifying, it being alleged that
he CAV untrue testimony before an in
vestigating committee. After that in vestieG-
ton the pastor resigned and the resignation
was accepted. He then left Inc village.
Mrs. Fl. G. Deems told the churchmen that
one mig hi she had sttired herself for the
night and stepped into a bedroom which
was brightly lighted. She walked to a
window, pulled aside the shade and, she
declares, she saw Gay peeping.
Mrs. Deems told her husband and he
prepared a trap for Mr.. Gay. According
TO their statements il worked admirably.
Deems concealed himself beneath the win
dowsill, he said, while his wife prepared
for bed, leaving the shade mp several inches
from the bottom.
Other n~eighbors Of Mr.. Gay tell similar
stories.

WALLED or THE SUBWAY.
Empire Building Goes 10 a Win the
Rapid Transit board.

Frederick Potter and Clarence ". Kelsey,
owners OF the Empire Building, ut n Broad
way, applied yesterday TO Justice Eits-
gerald in the Supreme Court for an in
junction restraining the PETERBOROUGH Rapid
Transit Company ard the Rapid Transit
commissioners from interfering with a
brick partition which the plaintiffs have
put up in the basement OF the building
TO keep the subway company and the
commissioners from making an entrance
from the Rector street station OF the subway
into the building.
Negotiations have been going on for gone
time between the owners and the subway
people as TO the terms on which an entrance
would be allowed N a fight OF steps
was built from the basement to the station
platform. But a dispute arose over the
terms and the plaintiffs built up q brick
wall at the head Of the steps.
The subway people say that the brick
wall encrosches on city property and have
announced their intention of tearing IL
down. but the plaintiffs reply that the wall
Is built on their vault space and cannot
be removed by the city or the subway com-
pany. They point to a vault permit granted
nine years ago, but this Permit wss revoked
in 1901, when the plans for the subway
at this point were adopted.
Justice Fitzgerald reserved decision.

HENRY WHITE GOES TO PARIS
And GriscOm succeeds Him al Rome-Man
for Brazil Chosen.

WASHINGTON, Dec. at can be said on
the best authority that the Administration
has again changed its plans concerning the
oranges 20 be a in certain diplomatic
establishments and that Henry White, now
Ambassador to Italy, will &c to Paris to sue
e Mr.. Mccormick, the present Ambss-
sador, who is to retire from the service.
This transfer for Mr.. White is a greater ad-
vancement than his proposed change from
Rome to st. Petersburg, which was re-
ported yesterday and which the President
was thought to have virtually decided
upon. No reason Is assigned for the change
Of plans.
Mr.. Whites departure from Rome to
Paris will leave a vacancy which will be
filed by Lloyd c. Grisoom. the present
Ambassador TO Brazil. II has not been
determined when the changes will take
place.
Another vacancy in the corps will be
made by the transfer OF Mr.. Never from
his position as Ambassador to Russia to
that OF Postmaster-General The time of
this change depends upon the date Of the
general change in the Cabinet. Secretary
Shaw IL not expected to leave until March.
Until he goes Postmaster General Cortel-
you cannot change his office TO the Treasury
Department and accordingly Mr.. Meyers
coming 10 this country depends upon the
date of the retirement Of Mr.. Shaw. The
transfer of Mr.. Meyer and of Mr.. Griscom
will leave two very good diplomatic posts
vacant.
1t is expected that President Roosevelt
will send in nominations Of the diplomats
within a few DAYS. A successor has been
found for Mr.. Griscom, but it is not known
who he in. The Government is now wait
ing only TO hear from Brazil concerning
the acceptability of Mr.. Griscom's proposed
successor to the Government in Rio

But there are a few cases Of hard
luck amid this good fortune. One of
these fell to the lot of some railroad
engineers the other day.
Fifty Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad engineers on the fifth divi,
sion, which runs through the oil coun-
try from Grafton to Parkersburg,
formed a pool, into which each paid
a certain sum, and then sent out a
crew to prospect for OIL
Several wells were sunk but no oil
came to the surface 1t is true that
one of the wells developed into a
"gasser" is. natural gas poured
forth with a roar that could be heard
a mile away, wasting daily enough
gas to illuminate a small village and
at the same time furnish heat sufficient
to do the cooking for all it's inhabi-
tants-a we'll which, if placed with
in the limits OF a town, would be
worth fortune to its owner, but
down in that country of little value.
Discouraged, thirty Of the fifty en-
gineers dropped out of the pool They
thought it would be too much like
sending good money after bad to con-

to give ii one more trial and the very
next Well, finished two or three weeks
