ALLEGHENrS PEESBIWET STTRRED UP
WrXCIAI. TILEaBAM TO THE DTSTATCHVI"
Eocuesteb, Pa., Sept. IS. The Alle
gheny Presbytery, which disposed of the
Bailsman heresey case but a few months
ago, has another investigation on its hands
which promises to be ot equal interest. The
departure irom strict Presbyterianism in
this case is along the line of perfect sanctifi
eation, or what has come to be known as the
"Holiness doctrine." A few weeks ago
Bev. A. J. McCrory resigned as pastor of
the Bridgewater Presbyterian Church, which
he had served for several years.
His resignation was the result of an un
pleasant condition of affairs growing out of
the promulgation ot his extreme views,
which were obnoxious to many of his mem
bers. He had, however, a strong following
in the Bridgewater church, and those to the
number of about a score withdrew from the
church, either by lifting their letters or by
simply absentins themselves from the serv
ices. Kev. JlcCrory has been preaching
for some time to supply the Oak Grove
Mission Church, four miles east of Roches
ter, many of the members of which have
adopted his belief as to the "holiness doc
trine." ,
McCrory Wanted an Organization.
On last "Wednesday evening the ses
sion of the Oak Grove Church met
with the followers of Eev. Mr. Mc
Crory in a hall which they had rented here,
I and formed an organization auxiliary to the
Oak Grove Church. A petition Mas pre
pared asking the Presbytery to grant the
organization, and it was presented at this
afternoon's session of the Presbytery, which
held its regular fall meeting in the Presby
terian Church at Freedom to-day.
J The morning session began at 9:30 o'clock
' and was largely devoted to devotional exer
cises and routine business. The enrollment
showed 35 ministers and 32 elders present.
The resignation of Kev. Dr. J. N.
Hays as pastor of the Westminster
, Church, of Allegheny, was accepted.
' Bev. J. L. Fulton, D. D.. was
appointed to preach September 25, and de
clare the pulpit vacant The resignation
of Eev. D. L. Dickey, of Glenshaw, was
also presented. The consideration of the
overture irom the General Assembly per
taining to the revision of the confession of
iaith was deferred until a special meeting
to be held in the First Church ot Alle
gheny November 1, at 9:30 A. XL
1 lie Committee Oppogps the Idea.
At the afternoon session the petition re
ferred to was presented by Eev. Mr. Pot
ter, of Sharpsburg, Chairman of the Com- 1
mittee on Supplies. A motion to refer it to
the Committee on Home Missions led to a
very spirited discussion and to the re-enactment
of scenes somewhat similar to those
enacted during the consideration of the
Bailsman case. The committee consisting
of Eev. Drn. Kennedy, James Allison and
G. A. B. Eobinson withdrew to the vesti
bule with instructions to report before the
close of the session.
After a brief absence it returned, and
through its chairman, Dr. Kennedy, re
ported that tlieJe was no need of such a
mission in Eochester. Its proposed loca
tion was within 25 rods of the Presbyterian
Church, which has just gone through a
seTere experience. Elder Frederick Eader,
ot the Oak Grove Church, spoke yi behalf
of the petitioners, who, he said, were not
free to orship in any of the other churches.
All they wished was a place to worship as
they pleased.
"They won't go into any other church,"
said he, "and if they are not given the
privilege you may lose Oak Grove Church
and the work will go on anyway."
They Had the Holy Spirit.
Eev. McKallip, of the Beaver Presbv
terian Church, inquired why they could
not worship in the Bridgewater Church.
Mr. Eader thereupon quoted Mr. Mc
Crory as saying that the Bridgewater Church
had not prospered and never would.
Mr. McKallip proposed going to the bot
tom ot the matter, and repeating his in
quiry was informed by Mr. Eader that,
"these people have got the Holy Spirit,"
Mr. McKallip Do I understand you
to sav that these other churches haven't cot
the Holy Spirit? "What's the intention of
these people and who is preaching to
tnem?
He was informed that Eev. McCrory
would probablv do so.
The Moderator,' Eev. Dr. S. B. McCor
rnack, broke in with the declaration that it
was time for the Presbytery to quit play
ing and ascertain the facts. "It it out
rageous," said he, "for those people to come
here and ask for a new organization. It
would be better if they have the Holy
Spirit for them to infuse it into these other
churches. It is time for the Presbytery to
take charge of this thing.".
Time to Apply a Commandment.
Eev. Turner suggested that it was time
for the application of the Eleventh Com
mandment, "That ye love one another."
Eev. Ambrose thoueht there could not be
the right kind of people at the head of the
Eochester Church, else they could not
always be in a disturbed condition, as he
thought they were. He was promptly called
to order, and explained later that he bad
not been aware of the doctrinal point in
volved. Elder James Ewing,. of the Eochester
Church, nsked to be informed in what way
his church suppressed its members, as
charged by EMer Eader. Eev. Donaldson
called on Eev. McCrary to rise and explain.
The latter replied that he had never asked
anyone to go into the new organization. He
supposed that if people would go out to the
Uafc drove unurcn ne couiun 1 stop tnem.
"We had not," he said, "advised them
what to da" He was not there to raise
trouble, and asked the Presbytery to deal
kindly with them. He declared his readi
ness to answ er an y questions put to him.
Sums rnzzliiig Questions Asked.
Eev. Dr. John Fox had one ready. "Why
, don't they join the church?" said he.
Eev. Mr. McCrory They believe in the
doctrine of sanctification.
Dr. Fox That is just what we want to
hrar about.
"Is it the higher life ?" queried another
member.
"It's the doctrine of the Holy Ghost," re
plied Mr. McCrory.
The latter was asked bv Dr. Donaldson
whether these people, with their ideas,
would feel tree in any other place, and re
plied that he didn't know.
Then another man rose tip and asked a
question: "Do thev hold the idea of entire
sanctification, and if so, is it Prvsbyterian
doctrine, and if not are they, the-Eochei.ter
Church, not to be commended for upholding
Presbyterian doctrine?"
Eev. Fox; We can't grant it; it is a most
preposterous idea and I can't see why it
should not be disapproved by Brother Mc
Crory. Proposed to Look After Heresy.
Eev. McKallip'proposed the refusal of the
request and the continuance of the commit
tee. He thought that if there was any heresy
going it ought to be looked after. "It is
rather startling," said he, "to learn that the
Holy Spirit is not a common possession of
the churches. The possession of the Holy
Spirit gives unity, but this proposes disin
tegration." Dr. Kennedy declared that the Presby
tery had made a mistake in the Bausman
case by delay and roundaboutness and that
there was dauger of falling into the same
trap. He urged the members to decline to
grant the organization and if there was any
thing wrong to appoint a committee and go
to work.
Elder Eader declared that two years ago
he would have looked at things in'the same
light, but he was convinced now that they,
the members of the new organization, were
right
Too Good to Be Presbyterians.
At this stare one of the brethren put
himself on record in this wise: "I have
concluded in my own mind, that
these people are too good to be Presbyter
ians and anything in opposition to Presby
terianism ought to be set down upon. I
don't think some of the things they have
said came from hearts consecrated."
After some further discussion a motion
was made by Eev. Dr. Fox that a special
committee be appointed to confer with the
session ot the Oak Grove Church and with
the Eev. Mr. McCrory and with all other
persons whom it may be necessary to con
sult in order that the Presbytery may be
more fully informed as to tbe grounds of
any dissatisfaction that may exist with the
other churches of the neighborhood and may
act intelligently for its removal.
The motion was carried unanimously and
the following committee was appointed:
Dr. W. O. Campbell, of Sewiokley, Chair
man, and Eev. Ors. Newton Donaldson, of
Bellevue, and J. L. Eeed, of Leetsdale.
Dr. Campbell was Chairman of the Com
mittee of Investigation in the Bausman
case. Presbytery then adjourned to meet
in the Providence Church of Allegheny the
second Tuesday of December at 9 A. M.
PLAGUE FACTS WITHHELD.
The American Consul at Havre Says the
Hamburg-American Company Denied
There Was Cholera on the Rngia Row
Cherbourg "Was Kept Free From the
restllence Dr. Jenkins Forewarned
nnd Defended.
Sew York, Sept 13. Special Mr. O.
F. Williams, United States Consul at Havre,
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
night He was a passenger on
La Champagne which arrived at
quarantine on Sunday morning, and was de
tained until to-day. Mr. Williams said:
"Cherbourg is my district, and I sailed
from there on Saturday, September
3.. There was no cholera at
Cherbourg then. In Havre
on Friday, September 2, there were 15
deaths, on Thursday 1", and on Wed
nesday 35. The disease was owine
in part to the most rigid and care
ful purification of the oity by the
sanitary authorities. They used" fire
engines for cleaning the gutters and the
houses ot the poor. The poor were pro
vided with accommodations in the
barracks of the Chamber of Commerce, and
disinfectants were placed in all the gutters,
and together with medicines were given to
the poor.
"I believe that the facts have been with
held from American Consuls at infected
ports in Europe. As an instance, when the
Busia, of the Hamburg-American packet
line, was ready to depart from Havre, her
agent broucht me a clean bill of health for
my use. Tins bill I refused to honor.
and she was compelled to leave
Havre for Xeir York without it She did
hate a clean bill from Hamburg. When
she was nine days ont cholera appeared
and deaths occurred. For two weeks
before I left I refused to give ithe Hamburg-American
packet steamships bills of
health. As a consequence, the compa
ny's ships did not call at the port
ot Havre. They were provided with clean
bills Irom Hamburg, which was due proba
bly to the fact that tbc Consul at that port
was not permitted to know the truth
concerning the cholera. I had my own diffi
culties in discovering that there was cholera
in Havre. But after the discovery was
made I cabled Assistant Secretary Wharton
'Asiatic cholera here. Many deaths. Facts
suppressed. Inspect Touralne.' That
cable was sent from Washington to Dr.
Jenkins. It prepared him, and, although
there was no sickness on the Touraine, it
put Dr. Jenkins and the Government on
guard.
"Last night, oc La Champagne, a meet
ing of he passengers was called for the pur
pose of denouncing Dr. Jenkins. It was my
good fortune to speak at the meeting.
I said that Dr. Jenkins was presumably
a capable official; that his duties
were most arduous, and the embarrassments
of his position had been multiplied
by the presence of cholera; that
tne prevention of an invasion of cholera in
New York was of vastly greater importance
than the detention' of a few hun
dred passengers on shipboard; that
Dr. Jenkins was as desirous of permitting
us to laud as we were of landing; that it
was our duty to support him rather than to
criticise his action, the meeting adjourned
and was not reconvened. I do not know
Dr. Jenkins, and he is of the opposite
political faith from mine, but, in my judg
ment, he is doing his utmost with most em
barrassing environments."

POLITICAL MATTERS GETTING LITELT
JBrECTAI. TKLEQRAJW TO THE DISPATCH. IT
Washington-, Sept ia The Star pub
lishes this evening, from its special corre
spondent at Montgomery, Ala., the follow
ing in regard to the recent visit of C. L.
Magee:
"The visit of "Chris" Magee, of Pitts
burg, was the event in the recent history ot
Alabama politics. He came unheralded,
and his mission was conducted so quietly
that it was not generally known he was
in the State until the dav before his
departure. His coming has naturally
awakened interest among the adherents of
Mr. Cleveland, who profess to see in this
visit unmistakable evidence of a contem
plated invasion by the Eepublicau National
committee, and accordingly the danger
signal has been duly hoisted by the Mont
gomery Advertiser and the old guards sum
moned to assemble and be prepared to
march at a moment's notice.
Mr. Magee Had Little to Bay.
"If Mr. Magee was cognizant of the ex
citing pitch to which his quiet little visit
wrought up our political quidnuncs, he did
little and said less (publicly, at least) while
here to betrav it His studied indifference
to public notice while in this city,
and his careful avoidance of all inter
views rendered -him a poor subject for
newspaper men, and all that could be
authoritatively said about the -well-known
Pennsylvanian had to be based on previous
knowledge of his history and viewa, There
were, however, some overt acts by which it
is fair to interpret the meaning of his
visit to Alabama at this time. His
conference at Selma with prominent Third
party and Republican leaders; his visit to
ex-Commissioner Kolb in this city, and to
Chairman Bawman, of the Kolb Democracy
committee at Bitmingham, are facts that
will support the statement that the Penn
sylvania's mission was strictly political.
Asa consequence to a general belief in this
fact, rumors of a deal between the Eepubli
can and People's party in Alabama are rife.
Belief In Contemplated Fusion.
"Belief among organized Democrats in a
contemplated fusion of the two parties is
greatly strengthened by the positive utter
ances of the Montgomery Advertiser, which
has long been regarded as the organ of the
organized Democracy in Alabama and as
such is supposed by its partisans to speak
by the card on things political.
The Advertiser claims to know that
Mr. Magee was sent to Alabama to execute
an important trust If this be a fact, most
likely the country will be enlightened to
its exact character on the 14th of this
month, when the People's party will meet
in convention at Birmingham to formally
organize and nominate candidates for Con
gress from the nine districts."
The secret of Mr. Magee's visit, if there
be one, will tnen, In all probability, be
disclosed, and the predictions it has in
spired refuted or verified. Until that event
transpires, the name of Chris Magee will be
used to conjure up many a political yarn,
out of which more or less sensation will be
extracted.

Monroe county apportionment cases, which
was argued at the extraordinary session of
the Knral term, held in llito city August

Macomber wrote a lenpthy dissenting
opinion. Justices Lewis and Dwight each
wrote opinions affirming the opinion of

was passed at an extra session of the Legis
lature called by the Governor. Its intention
was to divide the State into different Sen

new census.
this case is now ready for the Court of

PEWEB'S LATEST LITTLE JOLLY.

Cleveland Stands a Show.
Kansas City, Ma, Sept ia Senator
Peffer passed through here to-day, on his
way to Pleasanton, Kan., where he opens
his campaign speech-making to-night. In
an interview he said: "We shall carry ail
the silver and many of the Southern States.
Our majority in Kansas will be anywhere
from 25,000 to 40,000. I think there is no
doubt of Jerry Simpson's election.
"The present state of National politics is
mixed. It may be Cleveland and may be
Weaver. Harrison has very little prospect
for election. If settled outside of tbe
House, Cleveland will be the man, but if
decided in the House the great popular up
rising in iavor of Weaver may change the
mindS ot many Southern Democrats already
elected, and make them tear to thwart the
will of the people by voting for Cleveland."

" DEMOCRATS JUBILANT.
Harrity, Dickinson and Others Celebrate
the Kesult In Maine They Consider
the Reduced Majorities Great Encour
agement for the Party of Free Trade.
New York, Sept 13. Special Chair
man William Fraik Harrity, of the Na
tional Democratic headquarters, was almost
elated to-day as he discussed the result of
the gubernatorial election in Maine. Usu
ally Mr. Harrity is reserved, but as the
news of the reduced (Republican majority in
the Pine Tree State was digested by his
mathematical experts his calm was dis
turbed. He declared that the political
outlook for the Democratic party was very
cucuuiuKnJKt anu int no uebtcr rviucutc ut
this could be furnished than in the recent
returns from Vermont and Arkansas, and
now from Maine. Mr. Harrity predicted
tnat at the election in Florida on Uctober i
the Democratic maferity would show an in
crease. He declared that in November the
party would be sure to carry all the South
ern States. Congratulatory telegrams
passed between him and the Democratic
State leaders of Maine.
Ex-Postmaster General Donald M. Dick
inson, Chairman of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, said: "To borrow a cur
rent phrase, Maine is an upper-out right
hander for our frieids, the enemy. Fol
lowingthe Vermont disaster there will be
gatherings in hot haste for prolonged con
sultations among the fat fryers, and
the, this year, somewhat reluctant
fried. It means, for one thing, that
money as a means in an election is a com
parative failure under the new ballot laws.
The election is an object lesson to Demo
crats everywhere. The organization of
Morton and bis associates in the State was
the best the Maine Democrats have had in
twenty years, and therefore it trot out and
polled our vote. Organization by school
and road districts and voting precincts will
do this, and nothing else will."
National headquarters was illuminated
to-night with great electric colored lights.
A huge electrics sign, "Cleveland and Ste
venson," blazed on the front ot the build

shone out with "Democratic Headquar

Senator Pettigrew," of South Dakota, was
in the city to-day' on his way west from
New York, and gives it as his opinion that
the reduced Republican majority n
Maine will be of benefit, as it will make
the Repnblicans wake upland double their
efforts. The Senator? says the betting in
New York is in favor of the Republicans.
Secretary Foster, of theTreasury Depart
ment, said to-day, In regard to the Maine
election: "The reason that the Republican
majority was not larger was that our people
did not vote. .There was no excitement
over the election, it being regarded
as a sure thing anyhow. We
were all informed as to the sit
uation. McKinley has told us all along
that he would not be able to get out the
full Republican vote at this September
election. I do not think the lack of Inter
est will extend to the November election.
in 1880, you know, we lost the State at
the September election, but we had 'it all
right in November. I remember that the
Chairman of the State Committee in
Ohio thought it would be a good idea to
have a lot ot meetings on the night follow
ing the Maine State election in 1880, so that
the returns might be read by the speaker
from the platform. I spok.6 at TJrbana. I
waited until the last to speak, so as to read
the returns. I spoke for an
hour, looking around every now
and then for the messenger
boy who never came. Afterward I learned
that some news from Maine had been re
ceived, but it had not been thought wise to
have it announced at thejmeeting.
"There was no significance in the Demo
cratic victory then, and! there is no signifi
cance in the reduction of our ma
jority now. I do no) think there is
going to be any lack of interest
in Maine or in any other' Republican State
in November. I stand by the prediction I
made you a short time ago, that the Demo
crats will not carry a single Northern State
unless it is Nevada. Gur folks in New
York are very confident"

SIS EDWIN AENOLD ATTACKED.
A Missionary Prom Japan Indulges In a
Significant Innuendo.
Chicago, III., Sept ia The Rev. M,
Bartlett, a young missionary sent to
Japan by the American Board of
Missions, created a breeze at the
meeting of the Congregational minis
ters to-day by attacking Sir Edwin Arnold,
the English poet and editor. Mr. Bartlett
was relating his experience in Japan, tell
ing how great the impiety and general con
tempt for missionaries was among the Japan
ese, when one of the brethren interrupted
him by asking:
"is this conduct toward missionaries
caused by the' general impiety of the
people?"
The young miESonary quickly answered:
"It is caused by the conduct of certain
travelers, notaUy among tnem Sir
Edwin Arnold. 4 His conduct while in
Japan, if enlarged upon, would cer
tainly not be tolerated in America.
It might pass in the gay courts of European
kings and prlnces.and would be particularly
suitable to the court of Lonis XIV. These
are facts, and I am not speaking from mere
rumor. I dislike to make these allusions
to Sir Edwin Arnold, but they are true."
Mr. Barlett proceeded to sty that the
missionaries were everywhere looked upon
with contempt The English and Ameri
can merchants were quite as disrespectful
and fanned the fire. Dally the newspapers
were filled with screeds attacking the mis
sionaries, and altogether they had a hard
time ot it
