"r- 8' THE DR.KM SCANDAL s Still Causing a Great Deal of Ttffv; Among Methodist Ministers. THE RESULT OP AMBITIOUS MEN Eesking- to Throw Discredit on a Gentleman, of Th.'eir (hra Cloth. k FULL BSFORT EXPECTED TO-MORROW rtriciAi' miOEAM to the wsrA.Tcn.1 2:kw YORK, April 2. The mem bers of the New York Methodist Con ference attended strictly to routine business, 'to-day, and all reference to the scandal which has now become common property, was carefully avoided. Every minister in the conference is waiting anxiously for the rsport ot the investigating committee, which, it is now promised, will be ready on Monday. That was to have been the last day of the session, but it all depends upon the committee's report how long the conference will sit. If it brings in a recommendation for trial the conference will begin the trial at once behind closed doors, and this would certainly occupy the rest of the week. The committee had another hard day's work to-day. Rev. Dr. J. M. King was present all through the conference session, and much sympathy with him was ex pressed. Insisting Upon All the Evidence. Yesterday afternoon he was before the committee for more than three hours, and it is said that he insisted upon having a full statement of all the evidence which threw suspicion upon him as the promoter of the anonymous circular and letter before he would answer a single question. He was just as fixed as ever to-day, in his decision not to make any public statement until the comraiittee's report is brought in. "The effort to throw upon Br. King the responsibility of that anonymous letter at tacking Rev. Mason North," said one -of Dr. King's friends to-day, "is all part of a Conspiracy to injure his character. "Why, the idea of ministers going into the private office of a fellow-minister during his ab sence, and searching through his private papers, just to obtain damaging evidence against him ! It is the act of a coward for one man to treat another that way, and when a minister acts that way there are no words hard enough to charac terize his action." All Caused by Personal Ambition. "The whole scandal," said another minis ter, "is the result of inordinate personal ambition. Dr. King and Dr. J. P. Day, the pastor of Calvary Church, are each anxious to go to Omaha as delegates lrom the .New York Conference, and for the past four years each lias been doing his best to strengthen himself. Dr. Day denies that the old trouble is responsible for the present state of affairs, and dis claims any part in the secret detective work against Dr. King. Still, men very close to Dr. Day were the leaders in the investiga tion, and Dr. King's friends maintain that Dr. Day was acquainted with what was going on." There was even talk to-day of criminal proceedings. There was a great deal of in dignation expressed at the way Dr. King's office was entered. Dr. George H. Mc firew, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Church, said that if anyone entered his private Etudy that way he would have him behind prison bars in short order. Several others were of the opinion that Dr. King could make it very unpleasant for the men w ho searched his desk if he was so in clined. Several Libel Suits May Besnlr. Some of the friends of the ministers who attended the Poughkeepsie meeting have consulted lawyers about the anonymous cir cular, and they say they have got good legal advice that two ot the ministers mentioned in the circular, Kev. M. D. C Crawford and Prof. John Milcy, of Drew Theological Seminarv, have grounds for libel suits jigainst the author of the circular. Neither oi these ministers was at the meeting, in spite of the statement in the circular to that effect If the two men fail of election as General Conference delegates, their friends say it will be easy to show that the false state ments ot the circular were responsible for it. TOTTEN REBORN BY WATER. The Famous Astronomer Tells Why Ho "Was Immersed Proud of the- Uniform lie Has Put On The Type of Burial and Resurrection. NewHayen, Coxx., April 2. Special Prof. Totten was asked to-day why he was immersed in Boston last Sunday by Eev. Dr. Gordon, and this was his reply: The matter has been under Ions; considera tion, and after fullv weighing It I have come to the conclusion that Immersion is the only proper ceremony. It is a type of burial and of resurrection. It is putting on the uniform. Iain proud of it. Every man must pass through, two deaths, the f rstandthe second. The Saviour lias provided a type for the first, wnicu Is immersion. The second or natural death for the Christian thus becomes the second over which the grave teas no power. The unbeliever dies the natural death, and must enter the second, from which I know of no resurrection. I firmly believe that Immersion is the cddins garment" of the Savior's parable, nr.'l c.tch man must soon settle it in his own luind as to whether lie will do it. Prof. Totten is a communicant of the Episcopal Church, and when asked what tffect his baptism would have on his future belief, said: I was baptlzec" in the usual method of the Episcopal Church; sprinkled as a baby and confirmed later in their method. I have not fjone ovei to the Baptist Church I have cone into the Christian Church, which is the body of God's people. 1 am led to this act hv a strange set or circumstances needless to be cited. But I cMefly submitted to it from a sense of absolute dutv, personal con cern as to myself and example to others. It is a solemn thing, and I bee you to treat it as Fucli in spreading its publicity. This I hare not sought in any sense, and 1 dread its be ing treated as a pearl beneath unthinking lect. Immersion Is the most concentrated emblem of snlmiUsion that I can conceive of. A man's lite is in the hands of him who Immerse him. An ovei moment and real death might ensue. Faith Is thus deeply symbolized, and fruition is beautifully con Mimmatea by the typical resurrection. It is an absolute rebli th by water. A FAEMTE'S rOBGEBIES. Tils Only tlvlng Yictim, a Mennonite, Re fuses to Prosecute Him, DOTLESTOWir, Pa., April 2. The trans actions of Henry M. Kulp, the Hillton to unship farmer who fled Monday, leaving lsrce liabilities and forged notes behind him, appear to be more serious than was at first thought Several other notes, in addi tion to the forged one of $1,600 that Kulp negotiated, have come to light. They are all drawn up by men now dead and are sup posed to be forgeries. The exact amount of the last notes Is not known, hut it is supposed to be about 2,000. So far no action looking to the ar rest ot Kulp has been taken, as Abram F. Myers, his only known living victim, has refused to take proceedings against him. Mr. Myers is a Mennonile minister, and 1 i'cs liis refusal to prosecute Kulp on re ligious grounds. Sprint Suitings. For a good-fitting suit go to Pltcairn's, 43i Wood street.

J&m AICTIM 0F SUPERSTITION nds a Hair From HI Head to a Physi cian and Gets Medicine That Kills Him Fatal Folly ot a Portuguese Who Was an Invalid. Tatotox, Mass, April 2. Special Antcine Peters, 21 years old, a Portuguese, died last evening, but the manner of his; taking ofl is what is puzzling the physi cians, and there will probably be an in quest. He had been sick for some time, and a few months ago a compatriot, Manuel Martz, living near New Bedford, told An toine that if he would give him a single hair from his head he would send it to a physician whom he knew in St Michael's (Azores), and the doctor would return medicine to suit his case. The hair was sent The case was ap parently diagnosed, and the medicine came yesterday. It was administered after being steeped, and the young man died shortly after, as thougn from poison. Medical Ex aminer Presbrey was called and took what remained of the medicine and showed it this morning to District Attorney Knowl ion. He believed it to be an herb called coneinm, or hemlock, and in appearance and smell it looks like sage, and when steeped one would readilr mistake it for sage tea. It is the same herb, by the way, which Socrates is alleged to have swallowed once on a time just before life went out. The father of the young man does not de sire an autopsy, but there will be an inquest at an early date. The doctor at St Michael's is beyond the jurisdiction of this common wealth, if there is any foul plav, but the whole unfortunate affair is probably simply the result of ignorant superstition. open stream known as the "Blue creek, or Tiber creek, flowed over the coarse of what is now a bricked-in sewer. A BIG HOUSE SINKIira Senators Afraid to Slake Use of a Duildlng Bought for Them. "Washetgtos-, April 2. Special By means of a little item in the sundry civil appropriation bill of last year, the billion Congress expended the sum of $138, 000 for the purchase of the Maltby House, a large brick structure on the edge of the capitol grounds. It was built a few years ago by the late Maltby G. Lane, of New York. Congress purchased it for the use of special committees of the Senate, private rooms for Democratic Senators who are not chairmen ot committees and also storerooms for certain bureaus. The rooms assigned to the Senators have not yet been furnished, because the contingent fund of the Senate is running low, and now it is learned that the building is settl ing so rapidly that it bids fair to fall down at an early day. It is already regarded as so unsafe that the occupants are asking to be assigned rooms elsewhere. Several of the Senators who were de lighted at the prospect of having a private room so near the capitol are atraid to move in. The building was put up a few years ago on made ground, through which an im mense sewer passes.

Dunlop clenched his fist and struck Rogers twice in the face without doing anr physical damage. Then friends separated the belligerents and led Rogers out one door to the street and Dunlop out of one opposite, and the customers of the cafe, who nad been startled by the sudden scrap, .finished their drinks.
