been deposei from the ministry of the
Holiness Apostolic Church at large and
as his parchments as minister arethere-
by annulled he will have to resume his
old occupations as bookkeeper or colport-
eur.
Pastor Carpenter is the minister who,
though lie had passed two score end
half years Of apparently uprightness, al
lowed the pretty and winsome face Of a
deaconess, young Miss Della Goodrich, to
muddle up his theological thought and,
thus mixing bis love Of his wife and two
children with that of the younger and
fresher face, he later mixed his envelopes
enclosing Miss Goodrich's letter in the
envelope which he sent to the Superior
Court with the record of marriage, and
his secret was out
A called meeting Of the District Board
OF the Chuch was held at the residence
of Rev. II. P. Adams, in Easton Mary
land, and testimony was heard concern
ing the contents OF the letter which Re-
corder Aron had received the letter was
presented with its harangue about sou
affinity, and the written regsignation of
the minister was also offered. The board
decided:
'It becomes our painful duty to debar
the said Dew. M. Carpenter from preach
ing as minister Of the Apostolic Holi.
ness Union, of this district, on account of
teaching erroneous doctrine and immoral
conduct"

TO the craft swamped, and in Hampton
Roads. near the scene of the disaster,
Governor Preston Lea had an opportunity
of feeling the violence of the storm as
be made his way from one of the ships to
the pier at Old Point Comfort.
The governor had been calling upon
some Of the officers Of the feet and was
sent ashore in one of the tenders similar
to the naval launch that was lost. For
some time the little craft was buffet
ed about upon the waves, but tinall y
made safe landing at the pier.
For the past week Governor and Mrs.
Lea have been at the Chamberlain, Old
Pont Comfort and returned from that
place Thursday morning. On Saturday
evening Mrs. Lea was talking with Mid
shipman Holcomb, who was among the

ADD1cKs MUST D1seoaeE

Apparently resigned to an adverse de-
csion being found against him, ]. Ed
ward Addicks sat complacent in the
United States Circuit Court in Phila.,
Wednesday, and heard Judge Mcpherson
make final the order directing him to pay
George Wharton Pepper. receiver of the
Bay State Gas Co. Addicks' presence in
court was unexpected, as the proceedings
involeyd only a. legal argument.
The judgement entered represents pro-
fits derived from manipulations of the
Bay State, and the Circuit Court recently
directed Addicks to make good.
The hearing of was held in an
effort to obtain the value Of certain Sc
curities, which were juggled in the various
deals with view OF allowing Addicks a
credit on the $3.50. 900 if the evidence
warranted it. There was much debate
between George L. Crawford, Addick's
counsel, and Francis x. Bracken. who
acted for Mr.. Pepper, during which it
appeared that the securities we're practi-
catiy worthless. As neither counsel could
state what they we're really worth, and
in the absence of any direct testimony,
Judge Mcpherson decided to make the
decree final. Addicks was also taxed
with the costs of the suit.
