DETW EILER'S FLOCK, Some of Them Oppose and Others De- mand His Resignation, It can hardly be said that brotherly love prévailed at the meeting of the congre m of the Kountze Memorial church, which was held in their class-room Thursday night. The meeting was called to pass upon the action of the church council, which had demanded of the pastor, Rev. J. §. Datweiler, his ros ignation. This the pastor refused to accedo to, doubtless acting on the advice of his friends, The council of the church consists of Mossrs. C. . Gogdman, H. J, Penford, Dr M. B, Croll, Dr. 8. Leisenring, C. P. Heflley, J. F. Halin, A, Koch, C. B. Schmidt and W J. Reoves, The fir; gentlemoen want to get rid of Mr the others th rotain him, Mr, Re bsent, and lis preferences are not known. Mr. Smith was chosen chairman of the ting, and, on asking the pleasure of tho: present, half'a dozen people jumped to_their feet at the same time. One of these explaine the action of the council, saying that Mr, Detweiler wanted to run the church his own way and had ignored the council. This speaker was followed by another, who said the church was having too much Dot- weiler and not enough Christ A third said the pastor had promised to mend his ways on this last grievance. Auother accused the reverend gentleman of altering the constitution of the church to please himsolf and u fow others and getting it passed. One more said in as many words that this was all humbug. An old gentleman, evidently an elder, thougbt it would be best for the pastor and the church, too, if a separation took place. It was then said that this foud had bee going on for four years and that it was Lim 0 stop it. Tho council was next accused of running the whole thing into the ground to avenge a personal, potty spite. Tho noxt speaker assorted that there were only twenty-five now members admitted into the church for tho last two years: that th church was $1500 in de! on account of the perv Someonc then stated it was becauso tho | tor had, once upon a time, run a ba; missionary society to suit himself, not consulted the congregation. It was next that there were too many men in the council, and that at least three of the nine should be women of the congregation. There was no motion before the house, and ‘hange of likes and dis. likes p me. titn At least, the chairman thought 1t about time to do some- thing, and good naturedly called the meeting toorder once more, and asked its further pleasure, The report of the council was then read Itcalled upon the Rev. J. S. Detweiler to resign the position of pastor, and asked that the congregation sustain_the report. A long aud_irregular conversation arose on the method to be adopted when voting, Many were in favor of a vote by bailot, others an open expression of opinion. The question was put, and an aye and nay vote declare the desite of the meeting. There was only one vole st in the negative, Several young members entered the room at this timo and were not pleased at the previous action of the moeting. A resolu tion to reconsider was made and carried. It was next decided to vote by ballot. Those who sustained the uction of the council were ordered to_write ‘against Detweiler, those in favor of him *for Detweiler.” The vote procecded und was counted. It was fifteen minutes after the count was finished beforc the result was knowan, and then not beforo Mr, J. Redman_shouted, “No stuffinz the ballot boxes up there.” The result of the vote was that seventy-five of those pres- ent voted to retain Mr. Detweiler, and thirty- threo to dismiss him.

Mr. Sherman, also from th committee, reported back favorably M munds' joint resolution as to the Pan. ama canal regarding the connection of for. eign countries with the construction or con. trol of that canal. The resolution was placed on the and Mr. Sherman gave no tice that he would to-morrow ask its consid eration The senate at of the tariff bill. , Mr. Vance moved to amend paragraph 328 (referring to Hamburg edgings) by reducing the rate from 45 cents per pound aad 15 por cent ad valorem to 40 per cent ad valorem. In the debate wupon amendment Mr. Hawley asked Mr. Vance whether there was any.nation which had an approximately Just systom of taxation, and if not, which of the nations was nearest right. Mr. Vance replied that the system of tax- ation which was nearest right, so far as ne was acquainted with them, was the English system. Mr. Hawley—That 18 about the answer 1 expeeted to get. Mr. Vanc what you call “the true inwardness” of your question. The object 1s that you may charge that we are in the En st that wo are following the Eng- lish system; that we ave foreigners to our But there nover hypocrisy distike for dislike foreigners they bring something to sell. But n a forcigner comes himself to underbid American work- men and take bread out of his mouth you velcome him with an open and hypoeritical embrace. Mr. Hawley I huve no personal reason for disliking England or Englishmen. 1 dis- believe in the Knghsh system of taxation, and what T wanted was to get one democrat, if I could not get more, to avow fraukly the nonest purpose of that party, that the adoption of free trade is the policy of that party. Not one time in fifty, on the stump or in the newspapers, were' we ablo in the t campaign to get o democratic politician or editor to tell the truth in regard to the pa sition of their party. An avowed free trads meeting was held in Boston the other d; glovifying the campaign, glorifying the pres ident of the United States, glorifying ever effort in behalf of free trade, proph esying a glorious future for it and great progress to be made under it. - All we ask of the other side is that they shall tell the truth about the inevitable drift of their party, that_which the whole world knows (including themselves) to be the truth, that they mean to bring the country to the adop- tion of a system of taxation that will tax onl; articles of universal consumption, practically a poll tax. Mr. Vance—The senator from Connectiout says I am a froe trader, and the policy of my party is absolutely free trade, and he bases that stutement on my answer to his question as to which foreign system of taxation I most admire. I told him the English system was the mnearcst right, meuning of all the other systems, but that of our own. (Laughter on the rcpublican side.| I do not mean by that any approval of that system under which we live. God forbid. ‘The democratic party of the United States has pronounced itself again and again in favor of a svagem of taxation of foreign im- ports which will yield sufficient revenues to the government, and 1t has never advocated any other system. That 15 a system which I prefer to the English or any other system.’ Mr. Reagan also defended the democratic party from the charge of being a free trade party. ‘The debate was continued at great length and participated in by ators Dawes, Me- Pherson, Vance, Gray, Coke and Morgan. ‘The latter commented upon the free list con- tained in the substitute, and urged that the republican senators who reported and sustained it were protanto free traders end were not justified 1n applying that tecm to the democrats. * Finally the question was taken and Mr. Vance's amendment was re- Jected. The bill was then laid aside. On motion of Mr. Aldrich the senate rules were so amended a8 to include among the persons entitled to the priviloge of the floor the president-elect and vice president-olect, After a brief executive session the senate adjourned until to-morrow. cal resumed consideration —I soe of Honse.

The judge says that intense excitement prevails at Balopilas, in which districtone ot the greatost gold strikes of the generation is situnied. The mines are adjacent to the property of “*Boss” Shepherd, and the report” of the sale of the new field to an English syndicate was r ceived with some discomfiture by Mr. Shephberd, who teuly missed a golden opportunity. It is said that a Mr. Per- kins has purchased the mines for the Rothschiids of England. **When the Rothschilds buy property it is valua- ble,” said Judge Masterson, ‘und knowing ones state that $25,000,000 worth of gold is in sight. “When we consider the supply of gold in the world is less than 50 per cent of the demand,” continued Judge Mastorson, “‘the great value of the Balopilas mines may be conceived.

We do not refer to those well known instances of prince; and potentates being contracted in m: riage while still children and for grounds of state alone, but to the gen- eral custom in other classes to as late a date as to the last cwo centuries. The marringes were not mere betrothals,but genuine marviages, celebrated “in the face of the church and duly solemnized according to the book “of common pray Perhaps the youngest bride on recora in Englisn annals was the daugh- ter of Sir William Brereton, who was married in the sixteenth century at th age of two toa husband who wus a yenr older than herself. In this case tho children were carvied into church and their elders spoke for them. But_in another case, where boy of three was married to abride of five, he was carried by a clergyman, who conxed him to the neces- sary formulas, The task was not eus however, as the child said he learned enough lessous for that day be- fove he was hulf through, and was only kept up to it by the priest snying: “You mustspeak alittle move, and then g0 und play you.” In a further instance recorded in Lancashire the bridegroom was bribed to go to the church by the present of an apple. Frequently the brides were a year or two older than their lords and masters, us in the case of gery Vernon, who in 1562—sh ing vedrly ten years old—was married to Randall Mote, who was but eizht. Another record tells of how Gilbert € vard and Emma Talbot were muveicd at gh churel, when the boy’s uncle held up the bridegroom, who was five years old, und spoke the words of matriimony for the child’s puart, and the woman who was not six years of age—spake for herself as she was taught.” 1t seems incredible that, during the reign of I y VIIL, Edward VI, Queen Mary and Queen Ehzabesh it was quite customary for persons of ull ranks in life to ma their children at astonishingly early’ ages. But the bishop’s rogistry at Chester—not to speak of local records in all parts of England—could testify many instances —instances, 1o, among people anxious for the intellectual progvess of their day,and among whom sordid reason for such marviages were not supposed to_exist, William Chaderton, successively bishop of Chester and Lincoln—a well- kuown scholar and distinguished eccle- siastic of the reign of woth, and who was notable for the encouragement he gave to ministors and his z in o; tablishing lectureships and daily morn- ing prayer—did not scruple to marry his daughter Joan, in 1582, at the age of nine, to Richard Brooke, then nearly eleven 3 Four years ratitiod—as w the consent of th longthy documents raty tion being still extant in the records of Chester.

The divorce court was at that time the scene of many appeals from the most useful couples until about the be- ginning of the seventeonth contuy when Strype notes that *““the nation 1 ume scandalous for the frequeucy of divorees, especially among the rvicher sort, and one occusion was the covet- ousness of the nobility and gentry, who used often marey thewr children when thoy were young boys and girls that they might join land to land, and, being grown up, they many times disliked ach other and then separation and divorce followed, to the hroaking of es- pousals and displeasure of God." g L chool-Boy later AS us\ the was Lin such cases—by young people, tho tostifying to ' tho when years of y twelve for for the boy, that child-bridegroom other so heartily that wify the contract, and tion for and the Juvenile mart ways fortunate happoned attained, i divoree mar: Quay's Pranks, Philade was a sh phia Record: “There never per, mior mischicvons schemeras a boy than Matthew Stanley Q said a vosident of Western Ponn sylvimin who was a schoolmate of Quay in Indiana county. I remember one of his pranks that oviginal as it was darin In the rear of the school house where we were scholars was a green, and one mer afternoon a Hock of pasturing on it. Malt Quay sat I open window that looked out on the green, and as he watched the geese plucking away at the grass, as only greese can pluck, a brilliant iden took possession of him. He hada half-eateu apple in his desk and a ball of kite string. Biting a big picce off of the apple be quictly tied it to one end of the string, and edging up to the window he jerked the bit of apple out out of tl window. It fell not far from where the geese were feeding. “One of the flock morsel, and w, where it temnting lay gobbled it and gulpad it dow Ty swallowing the apple the goose on- gulfed a foot or so of Matt Quay’s kite d Matt at once proceeded to scheme to success by hauling hand over hand, dragging it off of the green and up the side of the school house, in spite of the bird’s fran- tic strug to got away. The goose was pulied iu at the window, and the next second was flopping and wadling here and there about the school room, trailing and twisting the kite string about the legs of a score or more of sur- prised and frightened scholars, and squaking at the top of its lungs. When the scholars recovered from their sur- prise and took in the situation a roar that almost raised the roof went up from their combined throats. . “The goose was finally penuned up in one corner of the room and caught by scholars and teacher, the string cut, and the bird dumped out of the window. Matt Quay was indiguantly bidden by the teacher 0 to the platform and receive punisliment for his wild breach of decorum.” S0 Rurlington Route, NEW TRAIN TO THIE W Commencing January Ist the B R. will run a tr from Om 4:30 a. m., connecting with th bule expr from Lincoln and the w ing at Denver and Cheyeune same evening.
