take and Causes Uproar. :.

Philadelphia, July 16.-The Rev.
Dr.. William Price, for 20 years rec
tor of st. Stephens Protestant Epis-
copal Church, Frankford, has tender
ed his resignation to the vestry, to
take effect or August l .
The pastors retirement was
prompted by the commotion caused
by his administering a whipping to
19-year-old William W. Hazlett "a
member Of his congregation, under
the impression that the boys father
had sent him to be chastised.
Young Hazlett is the son of Police
Sergeant HaZlett, of the Belgrade
Station. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hazlett
are memebrs of st. Stephens couere-
cation and Mr.. Hazlett admits that
he had previously suggested to the
clergyman to give the boy whip
ping for some misdeed. Young Haz-
lett, however, says he went to DR..
Price to procure his influence in get
ting position in the Bridesburg Ar
scnal. Instead Of getting the clergy
mans assistance, he received 4 WHIP
ping.
DR.. Price denies this portion Of the
bows story and says he only gave
him a slight trouncing, believing he
was following the suggestion of the
boys father.
