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

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.

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. Many years ago an
