SEEKING Il REUNION.
Episcopal Church to Make OUertures
to Reformed Body.

Il is reported that efforts will be made by the
next Protestant Episcopal General Convention 20
induce the Reformed Episcopal Church TO return
10 the fold. There has long existed committee OF
this convention on the orders OF the Reformed
Episcopal Church. but II has been more or less
inactive. Now It is said 20 be preparing n report
20 he presented at Richmond next October II Is
known that some leading laymen in the Episcopal
Church have recently urged the committee TO make
overtures.
The Reformed Episcopal Church had Bishop Cum
Minis II Kentucky It's first head and leader, and
the grievance out OF which grew the movement
was ritualism. Some professed TO believe that the
Episcopal Church destined in the immediate
future to be given over to rltualism in a marked
degree Hence the protest and separation. Now
however the danger II It ever existed Is declared
20 be past In this city. where ST. Thomas. ST.
Barthoomew's, Incarnation and similar parishes
with moderate ritual have grown in membership
from 25 to 1C0 per cent during the last ten years
the two parishes. ST Mary the Virgin and ST.
lgnatius, which stand cOnspiCuOusly for the rit
ualistc revival have Increased In membership from
TO Il per cent only.
There are those prominent in the Reformed
Episcopal Church VINO say they expected. at the
Church divided into about two equal parts No
such division took place. and the old line Church
has gone on growing. while the Reformed people
have had comparatively few accessions. They have
secured n strong fOOthold With splendid buildings
IN Philadelphia. and are fairly strong in Chicago.

TO HONOR SLAVE womAMs MgmoRv

Sunday school leaders all the country are
showing interest in project recently launched 70
honor the memory of n slave woman Kate Fer
guson. who IS alleged to have been the founder
of the first Sunday school in this city. The mamo-
rial is 10 take the form of institutional church
for AfrO-Americans and it is purposed to erect
for 1t fine building near 18th street and Seventh
avenue The Bible Educational Association de-
voted to work among the Negro people cf the
South is cooperating in the plan, as are number
of UNCONVENTIONAL leaders, especially Presby-
teFIans.
Presbyterian interest IN the project is In part
to the fact that IL celebrated Presbyterian
minister the Rev John NJ. Mason-he who
preached the sermon at the funeral of Alexander
Hamiton-who discovered. in 1895. that the Negro
woman Kate Ferguson, was conducting class in
the study of the Bible every Sunday. From her
example other similar classes were formed. al
though II was not until nearly decade later that
an Organized Sunday school approaching the mod
ern type was founded in this city.

From Thursdays Daily.
A murder was committed at Esther
vile on Sunday, the victim being Dick
WetherelI railroad brakeman on the
Rock Island.
The particulars of the murder are
rather ineagrc, bat report says he was
on the way to his train when somebody
hit him in the face with coupling pin
and Knocked him senseless, later finish
ing the job by hitting him an awful
blow on the back of the head. The as
sault was committed at Estherville Sun
day night and when found Mr.. Weth-
erell was still alive and lingering until
Monday forenoon when the end came.
The murdered man was about thirty
years of age and had been married but
was a widower 1t is supposed the OBJ
ject of the murder was robbery, but
this is not absolutely known.
No arrests have been made and moth
ing is known as to who was the assail.
ant of Mr.. Wetherell, as he was gen.
eral favorite of all who knew him, but
it was doubtless somebody bent on rob-
berry.

MANY THINGS TO CRlTICISE
Committee on Hospital investig alton
Return to ST. Paul.

From Thursdays DalN.
The house committee which has been
conducting an investigation of the st.
Peter insane hospital, returned to st.
Paul Yesterday and the members init
mate that there will be little of a SEN
/ sational character in their official report
to the house.
'.Ne found many things TO criticise,
said Representative Christianson of St
Paul, "but the evidence taken did not
bear out the stories of cruelty which
had been published.
'sWe found no evidences of wilful
abuse of patients. In some instances cir
cumstances did not seem to warrant the
practices followed in the hospital, but
there was apparently no effort to con-
ceal anything from the committee.
SIN one Instance we found dement,
ed man who had been in the hospital on
Nv a few days and who was confined i'll
room in which the temperature was
about forty-fve degrees. He had no
clothing on and was covered only with
light flannel.
"The physicians were in charge OF
him. however, and asserted that the
| procedure was regular and necessary
| The cases which we investigated with
particular care did not disclose any es-
| tablished misconduct on the part of the
attendants.
"There are many things to criticise
about the asylum, however, and we
will state them fully to the house
"rhe attendants are not selected with
proper care and are not paid enough.
"irhe condition of the hospital is, in
many cases, very bad. Plumbing is
sadly in need of repair; the walls>and
ceilings are in bad shape, and in many
Instances unsanitary conditions pre-
vail.
"The hospital authorities state that
they have been trying for some time to
get suitable repairs made in the lnsti'
! tuition

tigation consisted of Representatives

SPECIAL TERM HELD

From Fridays Daily.
A special term of the district court
was held this forenoon, and two or
three cases came up. A motion was
made by +. III. Barnes, trustee in bank
ruptcy of Deforest E. Carpenter, to
bring in James Brothers and the First
National bank of Lake Crystal to inter-
pose in an action brought by Mrs. Min
ME A. Carpenter against him to recover
property taken by him, and that was
sold to satisfy chattel mortgages held
by the Lake Crystal parties. 1t was ar
gued and submitted S. B. Wilson ap-
peared for Mr.. Barnes, c. j. Laurisch for
Mrs. Carpenter, and Evan Hughes for
the bank and James Brothers.
City Attorney Daley argued mo-
ton to allow the city to introduce adj
ditional evidence in the case of the APP
peal of two Broad street property own
ers from the order of the district court
confirming the reassessment of the cost
of the Broad street paving. ii. L. &
j. w. Schmitt opposed the motion. This
is preliminary to the appeal by the
property owners.

FAST DRIVING ON BRIDGE

To the Editor of The Free Press: At
yesterdays town meeting in Nicollet
township a resident of the town inform
ed those present that several persons
were in the habit of disregarding the
notices hung at each end of the bridge
across the Minnesota river between
Nicollet and Judson prohibiting fast
driving across the bridge, and he felt
sure from what he had seen that the
structure was likely to be injured by
such driving. he thought something
should be done to stop it. By actual
observation while standing under the
bridge he had found that a one-horse
vehicle driven at trot across the
bridge swayed it very much more than
three loaded wood teams crossing to-
gether.
The opinion of those present was in
favor of taking measures to stop the
practice of fast driving on the bridge.
The informant was authorized to find
out who the offending parties are and
the town board unanimously agreed to
stand behind him in trying to stop all
fast driving on the bridge.
The bridge cost the people of the
two towns good deal of effort and a
large expenditure of money and should
be used in such a manner as to extend
its usefulness as long as possible. 1t
is hoped that every right minded per-
son at least will see the advisability
of obeying the law to the letter in re-
gard to fast driving on the bridge and
so avoid all future trouble in the mat
ter.-Occasional.
