TH OMAH/Z 1Y wsl = ~a S DON'T FAVOR DEACONESSES. | 9 i’he Omaba Preshyterians Rejeot a Proposi- i tion to Have Them Ordained, DEVELOPED AN INTERESTING DEBATE. Rev. W. 0. Harsha Resigns from an Im- portant Committee — A Change Imminent in the Nebraska ¥ire Insurance Company. o The morning session of the Omaha pr bytory was a lively one, Tho principal matter under consideration was tho roport of the committee appointed 1o consider the following overture sent to the Omaha presbytery by the last geueral assombly. Section 1. In chapter VI, served tho apostolic chu whose office and duties w of deacon, Bection 2, Chapter XITL *Deaconesses may be clected to oftice in a manner similar to that appointed for deacons, and set apart by prayer.’ This overture was intended as a modifica- tlon of the book of discipline and was referred to & committeo consisting of IRtev M. v Rev. J. M. Wilson and Warren — ‘‘Women also ‘h a3 deaconesses, : similar to those ort of the committee was presented by the chairman, Rev. W and was in the negative on both propositions. The report characterized tho first section as dogmatic, and a question which demanded a critical exegesis of cortain passages in the new testa- mont. A carcful exegises and historical re- view, i the opinion of the cc ~gustify the dogmatic o served tho apostolic whose office and those of deacons. Passing to the second scction the report stated that the question whether it was wiso for the Presbyterian church to give official place and defined duties and employment to a v class of its members which shall be known as deaconesses was one of the greatest impor- ' tance to all Presbyterians, and was one which was forcing itself upon Christians of all denominations, In the opinion of the not seem to be the great demand in the church of today for either deacons or deacon- o8ses, such as existed in the early church, as the matter of caring for the poor aud nee had been turned over to the state. Th. port ulso referred i scorching terms to the tme bonored charge that the poorhouses, asylums and hospitals under charge of the state, were hotbeds of crime and vice, s In view of the fact that the occupation of the deacon was goue, the committee held that A there was 1o crying need for deaconesses, un- Jess they expect to ussume the responsibilities in those matters which had been transferred 0o the state. The report concluded with the following rocommendation : “1. That the first section of the overturo be answered in the n e, because thore is not suflicient scriptural and historical war- rant for the dogmatic statement that ‘women also served the apostolical church as dea- conesses.” 2, That the second section be also an- swerea4 the negative because it is too in- definite in regard to the duties and ordination of deaconesses,”” It was moved that the roport be adopted and sent to the general assowbly. Rev. Schaible argued against the motion on the ground that the ladies were a strong fac- tor in church work and should be shown as rmuy courtesies and ;allowed all the privi- oges awarded the men. Rev. K. V. Atkisson spoke In the same strain. He said that while there might beno seriptural authority for deaconesses neither ¢ _awas thero any for Sunday schools and ho con- +~“sidored oue as important. at the other. The Jadies were doing the main part of the work of tho church and two-thirds of its member- ship. There was danger, if they were not rocognized that they might go to churches whera they were given full recognition. Rev. Ware rose to the occasion and made a long argument in support of the report of the committee. Hestated that he was not op- posed to the iden of having women ordained 88 deaconesses, but ho thought the 1dea ewm- podied in the overture was too narrow. It was cortainly destrablo to have women i the church, and he would be glad if the general wssembly would send out recom- mondations that women be ordained 8s teachers, but he thought there was no demand for deaconesses, in view o 3\, the fact that the task of caring for the sick - and needy had been turned over to the state. 8508, ‘duties were similar to ommittee there did He roferred to the statement in the report that poorhouses and state hospitals were mere political machines and hot beas of vice, and glld that cveryone knew of the corruption in he poorhouse and the auarrels over the du- ties of caring for the inmates, Rev. Asa Leard called the speaker to time and said he didn't believe Mr. Ware meant 0 have it said inthe public press that the cburch had neglected its sick and turned them over to tho tender mercies of the stato, The debate promised to develop some in- teresting features, but the question was \called from several parts of the house and the motion to adopt was carried. When the maoderator put the question he characterized the report as unfortunate. Mr. P, L. Perrine, a deacon in the First Prosbyterian church, came in at this point 8nd held a whispered consultation with Rev. ‘Jalin Gordon, after which the latter aadressed tho meeting, stating that he had been re- snenum to tender the resignation of Rev, W, . Harsha as chairman of the committes on home missions, Mr. Perrine explained that Mr, Harsha told him bofore he went away that he would not serve again as chairman of the committee, The resignation was accepted without dis- cussion, It was moved that Schuyler be placed on the committee. This precipitated another argument, in which Rev. Ware took the leading bart 1o opposing auy increase in the number of tho committee. The devate continued for me time but was allowed to subside and ov. Laird was elected. Rov. Asa Leard of Omanawas elected chairman of the committee on home missions. The election of commissioners to the gen- eral assembly was next in order, The Omaha &mhyw:-y was declared entitled to two min- _Isterfal and two lay delegates. Tho election rosulted as follows: Rev. John Gordon of Omaha, and Rev. S. R Belleville of Waloo, delegates; Rev. L. D. Wells of Waterloo, and Rev. J. T. Coploy of Black Hills, alternates. J. N. Taylor of Columbus, and H. N, Dowd of Omaha, lay delegates; . H, Girard of Mon- roe, and J. H. Phetps of Omaha, alternates, At tho afternoon session the presbytery re- ceived and adopted the report of the cominit- 100 to which the overture from the geueral assembly had been rererred with regard to the proposed alterations in the laws of the church, The committee endorsed the plans proposed by the general assembly. The next meeting of the presbytery will be held at - Rev. Laird of » Lyons. On May 2 the presbytery will install Rev. C. G.

Witv's Littlo Early Risers, - The Paxt n's Fire Wall J. B. Kitchen figured as defendant 1 a case in polico eourt in which he was charged with refusing to comply with the instruc- tions of the board of building inspe ctors, Tue case is an out growth of the recent fire at the Paxton hotel. Mr. Kitchen was or- dered to tear down the whole structure known as the old Herald building which is now a part of the Paxton, and in the oar part of which the fire ocourred, and his lailure to do so caused the iustitution of wiminal proceedings. T o defense set up was that the board of De- A o buliding faspectors had no Hght to condemn | a building, the claim being that a court alono had power to declare it & nulsance. Judge Helsloy was requested to declare the or- dinance bad, but this he refused to do. and as the defense had nothing else to offer, he found the dofendant guilty and fined him' $20 audcosts, Tho case will be appealed.

A BEYOND RLLIEF. ‘William McCarthy Was Out of Reach by Doctors. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon to determine the cause of the death of Will- iam McCarthy, the man who died suddenly at the Webster street station Monday noon. Dr. Keogh and Depot Master Littlefieid testified to the statements already published. Dr. Rosewater testified that he had made a postmortem examination of the body and found that death had resulted from the breaking of an abscess in the liver. The dis- charge from the wound had entered the bowels and caused inflammation. To save the man’'s life it would have been necessary to have given him treatment at least twonty- four hours before he died. In the opinion of the doctor no medicine could have saved the life of the man. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence, Nothing has been learned of McCarthy's relatives and there was nothing found among his offects which affords any clue. The body will be held until tomorrow after which time it will be turned over to the county, Coroner Harrigan also held an inquest to determine the cause of Mary Dye's death, After hearing the evidence and a statement from Dr. Rosewater, the jury rendered a ver- dict to the effect that the deceased came to her aeath by drinking laudanum with sui- cidal intent.

Business Scope to Bo Increased— Story of the Change—Why it Became Necessary—Re- tiring Officers, The old management of the Nobraska Tn- surance company of this city has retired and a new one has taken 1ts place. The rotiving members are the prosident, Mr. 8. R. Johnson; vieo president, Mr. L. B. Williams; secretary and general manager, M. J. Burns, George F. Wright of Council Bluffs and several others. The stock held by these men aggrogated 600 shares or 109 moro than a controlling interest in the concern, the capital being §100,000. Of this amount 50,000 has been paid up in cash. The con- sideration for the trausfer was, it is alleged, 34,000 in roal estate and the balance in cash. The_transfor was effected through J. M. M. Campbell of Council Bluffs, who was ono of tho original stockholders in the concern. As soon as the change was made, State Auditor Benton made an examination of tho books and expressed himself as satisfied with tueir condition. The new management Is reprosented byJ , B. Emminger who fills the dual office of vresident and treasurer, He was called uvon by a Bee ropresenta- tive and asked for information us rogards tho condition of the company and the members who composed it. He said that he was not then prepared to give the data desired but would be before the end of the week, at which time he would fur- nish Tue Bee with an accurate statement The company has had a_checkered careor. It has been the subject of considerable talk and, notwithstanding that it has experienced several radical changes 1n its managoment, it has continued with the hope of sometime attaining » position which would place it beyond tho necessity of suspicious resolu- tions. Mr. L. B. Williams, who has been one of the most enorgetic members of the company, has wone 1o Georgia for several weeks, Mr. S. K. Jonnson, the president, who formerly one of the best known of Omaha’ capitalists, but who has now become a resident of Californta, has been hero for sometimo effecting the transfer and attending to other business. His reason for retiring frrm the company are that ho has Leen desirous of con- centrating his interests nearer home. To do this, he has gradually been withdeawing' from all his financial connections in other parts of the country. The compruy was organized in 183, a number of fowa men taking the initiative and inducing sevoral Omahans to go into tho undertaking with _ them. Tho leading pirit_ was H. T, Hart of Council Bluffs, The company was christened the Nebraska and Iowa Iu- surance company, and S. R. Johnson was elected president. The other prominent people connected with it were, George Wright of Council Bluffs, Matt Goodwin, J. M. Campbell, Frank Johnson and Mr. King worth. Mr, Hart acted as manager, but his mauagement was far from being satisfactory, and he was accordingly retired in-1877. He was succeeded by Eli Clayton who, at that time, resided in Iowa, He was a wealthy man and, upon assuming the duties of his or- fice, became the owner, it is thought, of about. thirty-three shares of stock. At this time also, Mr. L. B. Williams became a member of tho company. Mr. Clayton continued until 1859, when he was succeeded by mr. M. J. Burus, formerly of Chicage The latter became secretary and goneral manager and acquired it is believed, the stock of his predecessor, The name of the company at this time was changed to the Nebraska insurance company. Mr. Burns had long been identified with insurance and did a great deal of work dur- ing the time ho was 1n_charge of the office. Shortly after his assuming charge, some of the stockholders became impressed with the idea that the stock of the concern shoula be increased to $200,000. The increase, however, was not consented to by other members and the matter was cut short by the change in the management which has been noted. When it became known that a change was contemplated, several capitalists in the city endeavored to obtain coutrol of the concern. Some of these wished to take part of the stock of ‘the members who wished to and yet retain them in the com- pany. But the attompt was unsuccessful, tho present management agreeing to take all the stock of the retiring people and allowing them to get out. The president, J. B. Emminger, has re- sided in this city for the past two or three years, having been engaged in the real estate business, He claims to have had fifteen years' experience in the insurance work and itis known that in Da- kota he represented several fire insurance companies, making his headquarters at Sioux Falls. Ho says the company proposes to in- crease its cupital stock to $200,000 paid up. This would enable it to do business in other states instead of being confined, as it is now, to Nebraska. He also claims that some responsible men are behind the organi- zation ana that it will push forward and make up for lost time, if uny time there has been lost. So far “as known or believed the leading scockholaers i the concern are Messrs. Emmingor, Kingsworth of Sioux City, Pattorson of Council Bluffs, J. M. Campbell of the same place and Mr. Rudling, the new secretary of the concern, A prominent member of the old directory of the Nebraska insurance company, not now a resident of this city, said yesterday to a reporter: **All the troubles of the company have been due to cur-throat competition inaugurated by an eastern rival *‘With the pose of crushing out the home companies throughout the west the Phoenix fire iusurance company of New York began talking the notes of farmers for promiums instead of asking cash poyment ss had been tho - custom. lis was seven years ago, a year after tho organization “of the Nebraska in- surance company. Our company up to that time had done a fine business and more than justificd the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. In order to remain in the fleld, however, we were obliged to meet the competition of the Phoenix and take notes in paymont of premiums. But while we took notes for our premiums we weore obliged to pay our agents their commission in cash so that for every $100,000 in farmers’ notes we paid out §25,000 in cash, When the notes be- came due thoy were not paid and could only be collected at the end of alaw suit. The Nebraska law compelled us to bring suit in every instance in the township in which the promisor lived, and as the notes were almost universally for small amounts it would cost us as much to collect them as they were worth. Then, too, a great many of the notes, as we afterwards learned, were bogus. Although we had our own authorized agents in the rl‘lllclpul towus of tho state, there were a lot of scalpers who filled out applic: tions and sent us notes signed with fictitious names. On these we allowed the usual cash commission and never discovered the fraud until we undertook to make a collection. Of course these men were liable to arrest, but it was very difficult to catch them. A man would one week be doing business in some town in Neoraska under the name of John Wilson, and the next would be working the same scheme on a Colorado company by send- ing in premiums in that state under the nawme of Heary Hurdlestine. ““Phis condition of uffairs kept eating large holes into the treasury, and we were once forced to offer $100,000 worth of notes for $10,000, with no_takers. During the first year we did $170,000 worth of le?lllmum, paying business, but were finally forced to the wall. When the sale was made to Em- minsberg & Co. we had sorted out $07,000 worth of notes which we considered good." e DeWitt's Little early Risors: only pill to cure sick headache and regulate the bowels, L TR Remanded the Case.

George Meyers escortod his nerve into Friedman’s pawn shop at Tenth and Howard about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and about eight seconds later escorted it vut again together with & job lot of watches which represcnted the contents of a tray that had been arranged by Mr. Friedman with an eve to futuro pleasure and profit. When Meyers levied on his stock so un- ceremoniousky, Friedman stood in open- mouthed astonishment, but only for an in- stant, and then dashed out of doors after tho thief. Meyers was caught within a block aod held until the police arrived. Ho had dumped the watches into his pocket, where they wero found by the officers. Thore wore nine of the tickers, one of which was a gold one valued at $70, and the others were silver. ino affairs which' Friedman sold ou lucky days at $10 apicce. It was a bold nttempt at robbery, as there were many people passing at the timo. Moyors refuses to say anything about the matter.
