THE CHICAGO * TRIBUNE: = SUNDAY, AUGUST M4, 1881—SIXTERW PAGES. : MARINE NEW Successful Launch Yesterday at Mani- towoc of the Schconer Thomas L. Parker. A Vessel That Has No Superior for Strength and Beauty on the Lakes. a \ Freights Firm at Threo Cents on Corn aud Three and Oae-Quarier on Wheat,” Around the Lakes—Arrivals and Depart- ures—Miscellaneous—Along the Docks, HOME GATNERINGS LAUNCH OF A MAGNIFICENT VESSEL. Yesteraay afternoon at Manitowoc, Wis, the iagnificent new schooner ‘Thomas L. Parker was successfully launched. The building of this vessel constitutes an event of sufficient interest to vessel men and others to deserve more than 4 passing mention; and as jt ts the general ver- dict of Inke men who have seen her that she will have no superior on the “unsalted seas," we will indulge a brief description. She is a three-masted schooner, 185 feet keel, thirty-three feet benm; depth of hold, fourteen feet; length overall, about 200 feet; tonnage. register, about. 700; actual burden, about 14300 tons: and in her general coustruc- tion features were introduced waich amount in Tact to anew system. She hus three keels In- stead of oue,—being two assistant keels, with thick garboard and the ordinary kcelson inside, ei her extraordinary backbone, as it were. Beside the usual thick strakes of plank inside the Uiize she bus the same outside, extending well .aboveand below the water line; both being edge-bolted and thoroughly bolted together. Very few, perhups no more than five or six hulls have been so thoroughly secured in this respect. She bas remarkubly stroug upper chords; her wales being an inch thicker than usual and notched ono inch closely upon ber frame. Her clamps and shelves, inadditionto the usual fastening, aro keyed in all seams at intervals of four feet. Her rail stringersand deck frames are also unusual- ly strong and heavy, and, indeed, she is built throughout, including all the modern appliances for working a ship, in accordance with those de- talls, both as to materials and worknausmp, She has a burdensome model, clean ends, and for strength and adaptability to lake commerce she will certainly have no superior, if an equal. She was built under the personal supervision of vapt. J. B. Hall. of this city, u born and life-long seaman, and the inventor and patentee of “Hall's Composite Shiv.” Capt. Hail’s. snowy beard and dignitied appearance is familiur to our citizens, und ecially to those interested in vessel property, Channon & Co., of this clty, will fit her out, end G.D.

C.W, El- puicke, of this city, cost $50,090, and will be com- inanded by Capt. Fitch, a thoroughly trained seaman of ripe experience, not only on the Jakes, but also in tho service of the Government. during the War. As suon as she is fitted out she will be brought to this city, and all interested in yessel architecture wilt have an opportunity to i Capt.

Benjumin H. Seligman, who was Deputy Sher- if under Sheriff Hoffmann, und who got off with an amount of money somewhere in the vicinity of $2,500 which he bad collected on exe- cutions, returned from New York yesterday in charge of an officer, and was juiled to answer an. indictment for his crime found azainst him some months ago. Immedixtely after his incarceration a ro- porter for Tun Twenge caled' upon him, and found him to be tho most humble of individ- uals in bis new surroundings. His story was brief, and without point, from the fact that be pretended not to kuow the extent of his defal- cauon. * [had had considerable sickness in my fam- " he suid, * aud was in debt, and I ‘) MONEY THAT DID NOT BELONG TO ME, but how much I do not know.

Gradie & Strotz, tobac- conist3, Joseph Lederer, jeweler (who bas since failed), and Samuel Glickaut, my father-in-law; and, thinking they hud settled matters, 1 came back June 2, and, priur to being arrested, had agreed to come to Chicago in a few weeks." “ What reason bad you to think they bud set- tled matters?’ “ T bad been £0 advised by my wife and friends, with whom 1 had been in constant communica- tion.” * Your arrest, then, was a surprise?” “A very great one.” “* What were you doing in New York?” “1 was living with my brother, und employed as a salesman in the kuit-goods line.” “ And you intended to return to Chicago?” “Yes.” Iwas cuming back on a business trip to see my family aud friends.” : “Then you do not know the extent of the ims against you They amount to about $1,600.” From whom did you collect the money?” “fT cannot tell, “I had been collecting for months, and had never been called upon for a tinal setttement.”” “You know how much money you took away rely enough to pay my fare to New with you “Just York.” CORN CAUGHT HIM. “What did you do with the missing money?” “The facts are that I got to trading in corn and other cereals, and lost it.” * Did you gamble any?” “ Some. ‘* Now, what do you propose to do abont it?” “Tecan dofothing until I see Sherif Hot- mann. The question is between him and my nismau, really, but. if they do not propose to settle, then I muy be able to settle myself.

The reporter's informant, who is a friend of Mr. Hotfmann, said that he would not iet up on the prisoner under any circumstance,—that it was not the.return of the money, but the punishment of the crime he was secking—which huakes a decidedly bad outlook for the ex-Dep- F uty Sheriff. : A reporter sought Mrs, Selizman later, to find «aj anythin additional be could bearing on tho case. He found tho lady presiding overa ladies furnish. yy ing store on North Clark street, near Huron, and decidedly more anxious to interview thin tobo interviewed. She was finally prevailed upon, however, to drop n. few suggestions. and started out by Saying that her husband bad left her und three children in October last to go to Iitue Island on an elecnoucering trip. He left her without money or means of support, and the next she heard of him, he wasin'New York, “which was a few days later. The next she beard of him was nive months later, upon his return from Europe, and the last she heard of him was a letter received Tuesday. Both of the letters, she suid, might have been construed to have been affectionate, but. since they were so far apart, she did not go construe thein, aud bud uever answered either. He had never sent ber a cent, she suid, and, reverung to tho past, she added that ner ‘lite for twelve Yyears—ever since she had been married—had been one of trouble. In short, she left the seribe impressed with the {den that one of Mr. Seilgman’s weaknesses bad been his FONDNESS FOR OTIER WOMEN, ,| in the enjoyment of which he bad forgotten that } be bad a family. In conclusion, she said, sub- etantialy, that she did not sce that he was greatly wronged by being behind the bars, and assured the reporter, in verification of what she hud previously said, ‘that he would stay there a long time before she called upon him or tried to do anything for him. ‘The fucts are, so far a3 could ve gleaned from an unwilling witness, that Mrs. Seligman is very much down: upon Mr. Seligman, and bas no sympathy for him whatever. Further than this, she says, or intimates, that he has almost bank- rupted her futhor m former troubles, and that he need expect no succor from that source this mo. And still further, as iudicating ber line of acton in tke matter, she says she bus eim- ployed au utturney to look after ber interests, and it need not surprise Mr, Seligman to see her. applying for adivoreo, on the ground of desertion, at the earliest possible day. — Careful Martha. r Burdette. :{ “Are you prepared for deuth?" the clergyman asked, With u tremor of emotion in his voice, as, he took the sick woman's band in bisown.’ A shade of patient thouyht crossed the invalid’s fuce, and by-and-by she said she didn't believe she was; there was the bedroom curpet to be tken up yet, and the paint up-stuirs bad hardly been touched, and she did not want to put new | curtains in the dining-room; but she thought, if she did not die untit next 3tonday, she would be about as near ready asa woman witha big | tamily and no girlever expected tobe, . “| Wesley’s Ex-Sheri’Hotfmann Doesnt Propose’ METHODISM. Interesting Statistics of a Power-° - ful Religious Body, A Strong and Growing Bulwark of Protestant Orthodoxy, ¢ The Class-Mecting the Germ-Cell of the Church, Louion Siturday Review, It may be doubted whether many Anglican prelates or clergymen, or for that Inatter Wesleyan ministers either, would be disposed to indorse the assurance proffered the other day by Bishop Ryle to the President of the Wesleyan Conference, that their respective communions are simply ‘different regi- ments ” in the same general army of “the Chureh of Christ in’ England.” But there ¢an be no doubt that the large proportions Methodism has assumed in England and Aunerica make it a phenomenon of consider- able importanee, and fully suftice to ¢: plain the elaborate disquisitiun on its history and. organization which occupies the first place in the Edinbury Review for duly. The writer computes the English Method IS at 5,000,000 and the Americans at 14,000,030, While he rates their ecclesiastical property ain at .£11,000,000 and in Alnericaat £18,600,000. Whituker’s almanac for ISSL gives 14,500,000. as the total figure of “Methodists of all descriptions through- out the English-speaking world? counting nd syinpathizers. Possibly the truth may lie somewhere between tne two, but even if the lowest computation be adopt- ed, it is suftigiently large. It should be re- Ked, however, that five seets or schisms broken off from the parent stock, and besides the Wesleyans, or Methodists pr per, with whom alone the Edinburg writer con. cerns himself, we have the New Connection, formed in 1797; Primitive Methodists in IS10, who, aecotding to Whitaker, number in this dherents pete ul b Chri ns, founded in United Methodist Free Churches, who parated in 1834,—demanding, like the New Connection, larger powers for the laity,—and Who come next in ntunber to the Primitive Methodists, having about a third as inany members; lastly, the Wesleyan. Reform Union, who seceded from the Free Churches in 1849, but have only some 7,000 members and eighteen ministers in Gri tain.” ‘There aureely a shit nal ditference be- en these Various eommiutnities,theirdispute with the main body of Wesleyans and with each other turning on points of eceiesiasti discipline, to which reference will be made presently, With the broad facts of Jolin s career, and the ciremnstances which led to his gradual alienation trom the English Church and very unwilling creation country nearly half as many Suiginal body} Bible Christi S. of an independent “sect, which — has proved in the sequel the largest. and most intluential, though not the bitterest, 6f her rivals—we will not say of her fees—the reader may be presumed to be familiar. ‘The Wesleyans, indeed, profess theniselyes * the friends of all, the enem! of'none,” and we have heard of. a worthy Methodist Elder assuring his Viear that they are “the pillars of the Chureh?’; but: the claim can hardly be admitted, even ‘in the re- Stricted sense applied to the churehmanship of Lord Eldon. for they not only never enter the church themselves. but have not di charged the office of external buttresses wi ess. ‘The famous uy Suggests’ how a wiser policy in the ecclesiastical rulers of the list century might have made John Wesley to the Church of England what Iznatius Loyola sto the Churechof Rome has been ri with a smile or asigh by many su both of his and of theirs, in our own it is too late nyw to rep: ad Whether anything can still be done to arrest its further consequences is another matter. The first step, ut ail events, towards any such undertaking mustie to gain clear xppreciation of the facts. And there can be no doubt that Methodism differs widely both in its origin and its characteristic features trom the ordinary forms of Dissent, though it may be questioned whether the spread of Liberationist principles has not tended of late years to obliterate or modify the difference, Wesley himselt was so fur trom ing any quarrel with the doctrine or discipline of the Church of England, as such, that to the last: he considered it far the nearest approa a\postolic Christianity in the worl strictly forbade his preachers to hold services during the hours of worship at the parish church, or to presume in any ease to administer sacraments; and it was only under pressure of what_he believed’ to be Necessity, and after the Bishop of London (Lowth) had refused to act, that he at length ayed in union with two other Anglican sreymen to ordain a Methodist “Bishop? for America, where an Episcopal form of government is still retained among his fol- Jow It was the spevtucle of the * soul- dauming clergymen” of troubled him; and Methodism arose, noi like other sects, to reform an erroneous sys- tem of ecclesiastical polity, but to promote versonal holiness, The line of demarcation between Dissent and Methodism bas beer well detined from tho be- ginvlog. Methodism sprang frum a sense of personal guilt before God; ent arose from the conviction that Episcopacy wusavrong. ‘The quarrel of the former wus with irreilzion, of the latter with pretacy. Dissent discussed theories of Chureh governmeut us though the salvation of the wortd depended upon the auoption of some particular scheme. Methodists declared that their prime purpose was “to reform tho nation, more particularly. the Chureh, and to spread Scriptural holiness over the land.” “ Dis- senters,” said Wesley “begin everywhere with showing their hearers bow fallen the Church and ‘ministers ‘are; we begin every- where with showing our hearers bow fallen they ure themselves.” Dissent magnified the con- eregation and made It honorable; Methodisin originated the “United Societies " ‘which were ty have close connection with one another, and always to actin unison. Dissent boldly 'sen- arated from the Church; the Methodist leaders declared that they obeyed the Bishops in all things indifferent, and observed the canons as far asthey could with a safe conscience.” Their separation was gradual; it continued through muiny years, it was accompented with fond re- grets, and it has tinged, though with gradually fading tints, the Intercourse of the Church. and Methodism. It is quite consistent with the origin and practical purpose of the movement that, as the Reviewer says, Methodism should be “built upon the class-meeting as its germ cell.” This meeting consists of some fifteen ora dozen persons, of either sex, who a: semble weekly, under direction generally of a-Jayman, for spiritual converse and it tre- tion, and for something very like what is elsewhere practiced under the name of con- fession. It issaid to provide a powerful means for chee! ing immorality, as well as for impressing the true Methodist stamp on members of the body, while at the same time it has—in common with the various Roman Catholic guilds, brotherhoods, and the like— one great indirect advantage in providing an occupation and outlet for the religious en- ergies of laymen, which, at the time of the Wesleyan movement, were very much left to run to sced in the Church of England. It is also, like Catholic confession, part of the prescribed preparation for communion. In Wesley's time his preachers were inter- dicted from performing any sacramental cts, but with the definit separation from the Chureh_ of England which at once fol- Jowed on his death this probibition necessar- ily fell through. ‘There is still, however, a distinction preserved of clerical and “loc: preachers, the Intter being mere laymen and ricted to Jay functions. Women, like “ Dinah “Morris,” were at, one time to be found among the lay preachers, but this in- h novation provoked’ severe censure, and Was soon suppressed by authority. ‘The preacher a funeral -sermon - had al- ready significantly remarked that “Balaam Was converted by the braying of an. Peter by the crowing of a covk, and our Ja- mented brother by Ahe preaching of a woman.” AH appointments of preachers are in the hands of the Conference, not of the Jay Trustees of chapels, who did indeed long contest the exclusive claims of the clerical hicrarehy, but were gradually and completely defeated, so carefully had the deeds been drawn under Wesley's eye. In 1835 #% case came on appeal before Lord Lyndhurst, as Lord Chaucellor, which set- tled the legal bearit of the ques tion in favor of the Ministry, who did’ not ‘itate thereupon to recognize his Lordship in his official capacity 2 minister of God for good.” We have said already that chap- els are grouped into “circuits” under their respective “superintenden America he has the title of *Bishop,”—but all these circuits are under the supreme control of the Conference, which 1s “heir to Wesley’s spi r itual despotism and irresponsible power. For eighty years a war was waged to procure “the admission of the Jay element—as it has come to be called in our day—into_ Conference, but in vain; “ Wesleyanism stood firm by its bolted doois.” An attemnt was ouce made day whieh to starve the Conference int ssi ‘0 submission, and 100,000 members seceded, but it did not Yield. “It is true that in 1S a mi: resentative Conference, compr numbers of mini: $ r.
