Thele Dinieulty Carried te a Spuulnl
Meeting er.Classts.
The Lincaster classls of the Heformed
church held a special session en Monday
afternoon. It was called te order nt 1:80
o'clock, nnd it was nearly six o'clock when
an adjournment was had. The meeting
was called totake action en acharge against
Bev. J. F. Mockley, pastor of the May town
church, brought by the consistory or that
church. The alleired olfense wns an as
sault by the preacher en Paris Epler, an
elder el the church.
Thore has been treuble in this church for
seme tline und It ended in a majority or
the congregation demanding Hev. ;.Mock ;.Meck
loy's resignation. In the early part or
Nbvomber Elder Epler miucsted Bev.
Meckley te call n nioetliigof the consistory,
told him that the members did net wnnt
him another year ns a mlnlsler, and If he
did net call n meeting ha wus net doing his
dutv as n minister.
.Mr. Epler alleges that after he had said
tl In te the minister the iireacher caught
him by neck and said, " If It wasn't Sun
day and lu the church I would knock you
down, and If It wero outside, I would
knock you down nnyhew." Itev. Meckley
admits having made thoabevostatomont,
but denies the assault. He ndtnltted hav
ing laid his hand en Epler's sheulder.
By a vete or 11 te 1 classls decided that
the assault had net been proved. Monday
next has been designated for another moot meet
ing of the classls when the question of dis
solving th pastoral relations botween
Bev. Alcckley and his congregation will be
considered. The nctlen taken en the as
sault case Indicates that the clergymen will
be sustained en the question of dissolving
the pastoral relations. If Bev. Meckley is
sustained In that he will probably resign
his charge lu the uear future

A MYSTERY CLEARING,
THE WINDOWS OF G0WK.YS ROOM OPEN,
SAYS DETECTIVE LIXDEX.
Mere Kvtileuce Centrnry te tlie Theory
of Sulclde Whnt Kevs. Gray and Mc-
Dermott Say of the Trajredy.
It new transpires that the whole truth
has net been told about the condition of the
room In which Mr. Gewon's body was
found at Wermley'n hetel in Washington,
Tbowlndewslofthu room wero net fastened,
ns given out te the public. On the con
trary, they were net only unfastened, but
were net even shut down when the doers
wero opened uller tlie tragedy had been
discovered. Captain Lluden, of Pinker Pinker
ten's agency, admits that "the windows
were unfantoued and raised." The family
are pushing a systematic lmiulry into
the manner of Mr. Gewcu's deatli.
If the Mollle Magulrcs or some of the nd nd
herents of that notorious old-tlme ergani
zatien did net kill him It has been conclu
sively demonstrated during the past Tew
days that they contemplated murderlng
him. In confirmation of the reports that
the life of the great lawyer was In danger,
Bev. J. B. T. Gray, nn ex-pastor of the
Duke Street M. E. church, this city, new
iiaster of the Paul Street Methndlst church,
"rank ford, said in roferring te the death of
Mr. Qeivcn:
" 1 almost feel that Mr. Oewnn was the
victim of nu assassin. Oue week before
his death 1 was visiting lu the Wyoming
coal regions and a frlend (whose name I de
net care te mentlmO, who hoops a large
storethoroamiBUppuosmiuors principally,
said te me: 'Mr. Gray, the Melly Ma
gulrcs, I rear, are moving again, nnd II
bodes no geed te Mr. Uowen, and 1 would
net be surprised te hear or his assassina
tion ntnnv time. I Tear that he Is being
shadow oil w horevor he geos. "
Mr. Grav continuing, said: "The
mement I heard or Air. Gewon's death I
realized hew prophetic wero the words or
my frlend lu the coal region, nnd I new
fear that Mr. Gewon was really murdered
by seme cnemv who was en his track."
Bev. Father McDortnett, who was pastor
or St. Mary's church, this city, new pastor
or St. Mary's lteiuau Catholic church,
Philadelphia, was stationed nt Pellsvllla
during the Mollle Magulre days. He was
the spiritual director of the &lx men who
wero hanged In that city en June lt. 1877,
for the Mollle Muguiro murders. Father
McDorniett wus naked If he hud any theory
In regard te the death or Mr. Uoweu. lle
replied:
"I de net knew what te say nt this lima.
I certuiuly jilace very little conlldence In
the story of the negre Wermley, whnkoeps
the hetel, nnd much less In Captain Lin
den's story or the stilclde. I knew Linden
of old und I bolievo he would say the op
posite of what he means lu order te turn
uwuv public attention lu n case that was
put hi his charge. Yeu knew such Is the
policy of all men placed In Llnden's posi
tion. He always wants te turn uwny niton niten niton
Hen from hlsoperatlons."
Father McDermett was next asked if he
thought all the Mollle Magulrcs hanged
wero guilty and he replled t
" I cannot nnswer that question. The
satne quostlen that you asked me has been
frequently nsked of me by lawyers nnd
ethors, but I gave them no dollnlte nnswer.
It is net for me te say who was guilty or
who was Innocent, If thore are, or wero,
any guilty consciences, they knew host.
Franklin 11. Geweu called en me, but I re
fused te give him an interview."
"De you think that any lll-feellng still
existed n the minds or the children or
relatives of the nien who Geweu holped te
convict "T
" 1 am net propared te make any state
ment lu that respect. The history of that
ntl'alr has nover been properly wrltten. I
shall make a statement seme day, nnd
when I de I shall ceme out strong. Ne
such organization uh the Mollle Magulres
evor existed. The only erder was the An
cient Order or Hlbernlans. When I make
tnv statement It will be a written one."
Francis I. Gewon, a uophew or Franklin
B. Gewon, said : " I read the dispatch from
Wllkosbarre carefully, und I can only sav
that 1 don't bolleio thore Is anything In It."
Letters of administration wero grunted te
the heirs or F. li. Geweu. The estate Is
valued, according te the potlllen filed with
the administrative application, "as near as
can be ascertained at tills time," at (150,000,
or which amount $350,000 is comprised or
persenal effects und $100,000 real estate.
'Thu Missing Wilsen.
Wayne W. Wilsen, the young White
Oak man who lias been creating quite a
commotion about Lebanon, has again dis
appeared and his whereabouts are un
known. Dr. Selling, a frlend of Wilsen,
has been ever in Lebanon squaring a
nuinber of accounts, and he told a Twin
reporter that he had arranged te pay the
worthless check of $25 given te W. II.
Snvder, of Hetel Lnncaster.
Samuel Ebv, of this city, has a claim or
$132 against Wilsen, who collected Eby's
bills and kept the money. He made com-
Slalnt against Wilsen In Lebanon en Mou
sy. The Lebanon Tuiies says: "Mr.
Eby took the warrant with him and had It
sorved by a constable, who after breaking
In the deer at his mether's home, at While
Oak, Lancaster caunty, round Wilsen ln ln
side. Te avoid arrest Wilsen said he hail
only $25, which he pdd en the claim, and
guve security with his mother and uncle
for the payment of the balance, which was
accepted and the warrant net served.
"An attachment Issued by the Lnncaster
county court was also presented at thu
mother's home for service, but Wilsen was
net found. Parties who arrived lu this
city yesterday morning stated that Wilsen
hail nguln disappeared.
"Jacob E. lloliieehl, esq., vosterday ro re
cclvcd from Mr. Heist, of Lancaster, the
keys te theolllcenud jsistolllce box belong
ing te Wilsen. Mr. Heist was seeking u
deed held by Wilsen. Dr. Seiling sent the
keys and Mr. Iloineohl will dollver thorn
e or te Mr. Nuttlugund Postmaster llrexllu
this morning. This Is conclusive that Wil Wil
eon does net want te return te this city."
Iloetbtiteks Cause h Tight.
This afternoon u negre bootblack named
Tayler, who Is oue of the worst beyH In
town, struck Etnaiiuel Hammend, u white
man, with a stene as he wus passing along
North Queen street. This resulted In a
light, two darkles attacking Hammend,
who mauled both of them. Thore Is great
complaint among people of this city about
the conduct of seme or the black boot
blacks. Yeung Tayler was but recently
released from Jail, and the house of roluge
seems te be open for him.

New Yerk Mnrket.
Frem the IT. H. Tobacco Journal.!
The spell of Inactivity, usually prevalent
nt this time el the year, has been broken
somewhat by the advent of seme heavy
buyers from out of town. The market Is
gouerally lu nn accommodating mood at
dull times, nnd full ndvantnge has been
taken of this condltleu by the out-of-town
buyers. They hud the market nil for
themselves, they had the pick nnd suc
ceeded even in a compromise nt prices la
thelr favor. Bcsldes this little stir, how hew how
evor, nothing worthy of special report was
done. Most houses have utilized their
time te take inventory, which, as far as we
are aware, lias proved highly satisfactory
In most cases. TUe clgur factories will
clese for Inventory nnd holidays te-night,
nnd the trade may be pronounced te be en
a vacation for the next two weeks ut least.
Frem the Tobacco Leaf.
The mnrket Ter tlie past wcek has been
exceedingly dull. This can be easily ac
counted for. lining se clese te the cud or
the year. Although very dull, the tobnece
houses nre very busy nt thelr books. Buy
ing In the country lias almost ceased, and
very little Is expected te be done, both in
