suicide about seven o'clock Tuesday

several days with severe headaches,
which is the only reason that can be
ascribed for the rash act. His bus1-

reason why he should have wanted
to end his life.

section. He was a son of Barclay

he was born and spent his boyhood,
attending school at New Valley pub
lie school, near Oakwood. He loca-

ELKToN PASTOR TO APPEAL.
DIR. McEImoyle Also Refuses To
Marry Out-of-State Couples.


The Rev. DR.. John McElmoyle,
pastor of the Elkton Presbyterian
Church, has issued the following
statement to his congregation:
whilst the Presbytery adopted
the recommendation of the commit
tee that recently visited the church,
which was that they deemed it for
the best interest of the church that
the pastoral relation should be dis
solved, this was not the dissolution
of the relation. The relation of the
pastor and people remains just the
same as before and will so remain
until further action is taken involv-
ing the opportunity of the congre-
CATION to be heard.
"The third resolution has 10 do
with the question of marriages and
seeks to impose certain restrictions
on your PASTORS freedom and dis
cretion as to the people he may or
may not marry. Reserving the right
to test by complaint to higher
judicatory the right of the Presby-
terry to legislate in this matter, and
especially to pass censure upon one
of its members without trial, as this
does at least by implications, l am
a loyal Presbyterian. One of my
ordination vows-is promise of sub
lection to my brethren in the Lord,
and so / am in honor bound to obey
the Presbytery as long as its judg-
ment stands and do now give notice
that I shall not marry any couples
from outside the State unless they
are personally known to me in ad-
vance Of their coming, or are persons
recommended to me as persons suit
able to be married by some one who
have known them at least so days
prior to the issuance of the license. :
Following this statement to his
congregation DIR. McElmoyle has re-
fused to marry any out-of-State
couples and will continue to do SO.
