Heresy Hunters Are at Present Hav ing a Best, but It Is at Best OXLY A QUESTION OP SHORT TIME JVhen the Orthodox and Heterodox Con flict Is to Be Decided. GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS The heretics are having a rest of late, but there is little doubt that they -will come to the front later on. The conservative ele ment of the Presbyterian Church seems re luctant to enter upon the trial of Brig?s. But the orthodox party are determined to force the issue, and it is only a question of time when the heretics will be called to judgment. "What the final outcome of the contro versy will be, no man can tell. That the Christian denominations are on the eve of a crisis is undisputed. Doctrines that were unquestioned a generation ago are now sub jects of sharp controversy, and present dis rrntes in the ecclesiastical world are bound to shake the old faiths. Trutli is sure to win in the outcome of these anxious ques tionings. Sunday Services In Pltulrars Churches. I.TBERTV Street M. E.

POOR SHOWING AT THE MALT HOUSE There 'were two more big Gordon sand wells added to the list yesterday. The first belongs to the Liberty Oil Company, of Pittsburg, and is located on the Jernell lot, just west of the trestle leading across the valley from the Nickel Plate mine, in the eastern part of the borough. It started off at SO barrels an hour and was immediately shnt down until the boiler could be moved back. The other belongs to Davis, Brown & Co., and is their No. 2 on the brickyard lot north of the original Rend well. It was showing" for at least 20 barrels an hour yes terday. ,Kend & Bobbins' well on the elanghterhouss lot, located 400 feet northwest from the Bend well, was shut down ' on top of the Gordon yesterday until connections could be made to the tanks. W. P. Bend's Xos. 2, 3 and 4. on his own property around the TISlnrol Till! nnl minpn. are all On toil Of the Gordon sand, and will be drilled in to-day or Huleret lot, located 400 feet northeast of tho Jewell well, nas drilling in the bottom of the Gordon sand yes terday' without showing any increase. A light pressure of gas was found in the fifth sand. This well started on" at over 203, barrels from the Gordon sand but has now dropped to half that amount.

As soon as the tanks aio emptied tho well will be drilled deoper. There are a good many people in McDonald who believe that the town is yet in its infancy, and that operations around it have only been com menced.

Black to play, and from the twen-tv-soventh move we have one of as pretty endings as is published, until the seventieth movo was made, which was an oversight and lost white a pretty game. B.

GAME NO. 199-SINGLE CORNER. The following game was played in Mercer, Pa., between George W. McBride, Attorney at Law, and the editor of this column. The game is very old and the trap which white goes into at the eighteenth move seems to be little known outside of book players. We deem it worthy of diagram, for no less an authority than Lawrence Armstrong, of Blythsdale, Pa., was cnught in it three times by Mr. B. G. McGrew on his last visit to Pittsburg.

Though all of the above has been pub lished for many years, and it is to bo found in the American Draught Flayer, and other published play, yet In meeting the gen eral class of players throughout the country, if they play single corner, we invariably run them into this very line or play, and it is by this very experience that we deem the above play worthy of this consideration. Tin Dispatch being the leading paper in Western Penn sylvania, and second to none in tho State, its checker column reaches avast amount or checker placers who never saw a book or knew what It was to play over a published game until they learned it from The Dis patch. Our numbered board at the head or this department has been helpful to hun dreds in rnnning over the games, and from this small beginning we find an increasing dcaire to know more of published play. In this way is fair Damctli courted and soughs after, and a deeper knowledge of her mys teries and her beauties obtained. It has ever been our object to gat every class of players interested in the science of our noble game. Wo know but little of Dameth's beauties our selves, but what little we know, has made us her slave. We do not care how much oth ers mar sing of the beauties of "Cassia," to us tlie beauties of Dameth "are all beyond compare." Checker Ed. GAME NO. 200 WHITE DYKE.

WYLLIE AND BARKER. The followlne letter was received hy Rob ert McCall, of Glasgow, Scotland: With regard to Sir. Wyllie's remarks in your issue of November?, they sound to mo as Ill-judged, to say the least, after the man ly and conciliatory utterances of Mr. Bar ker. I surmise that Mr, Wyllle has con strued tho American champion's words as indicating a want of courage, which I as sure him is not the case, as I will explain. 110 uay iiiuv i ibis jrroviuence, ti. i., Jir. Tilinghast, who is Mr. Barker's principal backer, said to mo: "Barker does not dis pute Wyllie's title, neither will he challenge him; but if the veteran is persistently anx lous for a match, you may say that I will back Barker for X100 or 200 a side, the match to be played in any neutral town in England, Barker to be allowed JE20 for trav eling expenses, and the stakeholder to De Mr. McCall, of the Herald." This shonld convince Mr. Wyllie of Bar ker's courage; if he still doubts It, and per sists in a contest, let him deposit 20 with vou, and it will be at once covered by Mr. Tilinghast, in behalf or Mr. Barker. I should have sent you those facts earlier, but Mr. Barker's Intentions had already reached you, and as they were evidently meant to be pacific, 1 had no wish to create controversy. I am In no sense a partisan to either champion; I honor Mr. Barker for the manly way in which he repudiates what he considers a spurious title, and returns it to the rightful owner, when he might have chosen a less honorable course. And I admire the unconquerable spirit which impels Mr. Wyllie to hurl defiance at his talented compeer, even though lie be past three-score-and-ten, and against the advice of his genuine.well-wisher, who may desire to see him emulate the example of Anderson, and rethe with his laurels intact. I am, etc. James Hill. The above letter would, we think, tend to show that there will be a match between these two famous experts, in the near in ture; but a careful analysis of the above will show that Mr. Tilinghast wants to be in the position of dictator. Wyllie is not even to have the choice of where the match is to be played, but as Mr. Wyllie is one who is well able to watch his own interests, ho will have something to say. It would appear that Mr. Tilinghast was afraid to put up his money to play tho old man on his native heath, "but we would think that Mr. Wyllie would Insist on Glasgow, in the same way Mr. Tilinghast insists on the next match be tween Messrs. Reed and Barker shall be played in Providence. All we desire Is to seen match and have this question of su premacy settled, as Mr. Wyllle seems anx ious to meet Mr. Barker, if Mr. Hill's letter had contained a direct challenge to Mr. Wyllie and a depositor $100, it would have been more to the point than such a commu nication as the above. We trust there will bo no more quibbling, but get to an under standing at once and have this point set tled, which has been discussed for over two years. Checker Editor. THE PICE THAT KILLS.
