first the members refused to accept It.
but as it was the pastors desire and
In recognition OF his untiring labaes
for the church. they granted him his
wish.
lie accepted the pastorate OF the
church about eighteen months ago,
coming from Cadiz, then not out OF
school many year. In this time he
has benefited the church more than
any other pastor In the past. Under
his guidance the church has doubled
its enrolment and financially is much
stronger than at any previous time.
Funds are being raised now for the re-
modelling and enlargement OF the
present church.
In reslgning, the Rev. E. IL. Gun
ningham feels that II is his duty to his
charge, as in the last few months he
has conducted several successful re
yiSals. and could not devote the time
TO the church that should be. At a
revival he conducted at sis church this
spring over 100 new members were
received into the church, besides a
number of conversions He will de-
vote all of his time TO evangelical work
I'm which he has been so successful
aud in so doing the Rev. Cunningham
only seeks a broader fed in the work
IN which he is so Interested.
Paducah churcfe, are experiencing
much trouble of late keeping pastors
in charge of their congregations. The
First Christian church has been
without pastor several months. The
death % the Rev. J. S. Cheek left the
pulpit of the First Baptist vacant until
the Rev. Calvin Thompson was called.
The Tenth street Christian pastor, Rev.
b. w. Bass, has resigned, as also has
the Rev. s. II. Eshman, pastor OF the
Cumberland Presbyterian church.

When Il Occurred.

This unfortunate case Is the first
accident of any consequence at Wal
lace park. The drowning did not oc-
cur at the bath house. where the ma
jority OF the swimming parties go In
but across the lake next to the en-
trance Of the park. At the bath house
there is a sprlng-board and all equip
ment for swimmers. but the water Is
comparatively shallow and the dist
ance to the island opposite the bath
house so short that assistance could
easily reach anyone in distress.

GETS TWELVE YEARS
Ex-Mayor Belcher Sentenced
 to Hard Labor.
WENT TO JAIL AND CONFESSED.
EmbezzIed S1OO,OO0 at Paterson, N. J., From Friends and . Loan COn- pany, Which Was Forced
 to Suspend.

PATTERSON, N. J., Aug. 4.-W. H. Belcher, who while mayor of this city absconded year ago and who sur rendered himself on Monday last. was sentenced by Judge Scott to twelve years Imprisonment in the state prison at Trenton at hard labor. The charge against him was embeZzlement.
 The courtroom was crowded with his former friends and political associates, some of whom had suffered by his en- bezzlements. There was no taking Of evidence. Six indictments, each al- legint elnbezzlement, were read. and the counsel for Beicher entered a plea of guilty to each of them. Belchers counsel then made a plea to the court for clemency and declared that Bel cher's surrender and failure to contest the case were mitigating circumstances.
 Justice Scott in his review of the case said that Belcher's peculations had left some of his victims penniless and that he saw no reason for exer- cising clemency. Sentence was then imposed.
 Belcher disappeared from this city about ys,r ago, while he was mayor. He was alleged to have embedded from $1OO,O0O to $15o,0O0 from personal friends and from the Manchester Build ing and Loan association, which was forced to suspend business. No trace of the missing man was discovered by the authorities until he appeared at the county jail Monday night and volun- tarily surrendered.
 He had only SIT in his possession and declared that he had suffered great hardships during his absence. He said that he had travelled about the country until his funds were exhausted. He found himself penniless in St. Paul after losing the last remaining S200 and then secured work digging ditches for SIPS day. His health broke down. and he was compelled to seek other employment and resume his wan derings. S,
 He finally found himself in New York i'll and without funds. After giv- ing himself up he expressed regret and said he was prepared to suffer the con- sequences of his embezzlement.
