PASTOR AND fEOPLE.
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.

Top of the Fifth Sands.
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. The fifth sand
was line and white and devoid of any indi
cations of oil. aioyer A Co 's No. 2, on tne
U.,P. Church lot, is down 1,280 leet. Clark 4

the-well. 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

menced. They base their calculations on
the work which is already in contemplation
between McDonald and the Moorhead well.

J. C. E., Wllklnsburg Your contribution
would have been thrown Into the waste
basket, because you failed to give us your
name, but we are ever ready to correct mis
takes that appear in our department, and as
you direct our attention to what you seem
to think, in your ignorance, a great affair,
but to one accustomed to reading checkers
from flgui es sees at a glance that at the
twenty-first move of game No. 192, "Bristol,"
that instead of 11-16, 12-lCy was the move
played, as the twenty-sixth move show3 hy
the jump 20-12, forming the following posl
sltlon: Black, 1, 2, 3, 11, 13, 15; white, 12, 2L 22,
30, 31, 32. 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. McFaulds, Courtney. Pa. Your favor of
the 23d, in solution to problem No.95, at fifth
move you allow black to draw by going 31-28;
but we are satisfied white can win. Try it
again.
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.

BLINDFOLD CHECKER PLAYING.
Mr. J. P. Reed, of Chicago, th famous
blindfold checker expert, entertained the
visitors to the State tournament to a feast
after the playing in the tournament had
come to a finish for the evening, it having
been decided by the two principals for the
final round to postpone their contest until
Friday evening at 8 p. jr. Six of the visitors
were then invited to sit down and play Mr.
Reed, and the following gentlemen came
forward: Mr. Hesbit, of Tarentnm: Mr.
Ripper, of Beaver Falls; Messrs. Stewart,
Smith and Gibson, of Washington, Pa., and
Mr. S. E. Johnson, of Allegheny City, and
after a contest of one hour and a hall's dur
ation the games were brought to a close,
with the following result: Reed, 3 wins and
3 draws. It was enjoyed immensely by the
manv natrons of the hotel, and nvnonn
more than the genial proprietor himself.

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.
