NEAKLY THREE HOIKS DEBATE Kov. Charles T. Morgan, of Philadelphia, Was the Popular Choies-Decided to Set Aside the Present Candi dates and Begin Anew. The Penn Avenue Baptist church con gregation mot last night In the lecture room of the church and made an unsuc cessful effort to elect a pastor. From S.S0 to 11 o'clock there was a great am ount of debate, balloting, argument and parliamentary resort, but the final ac tion was to wipe from the slate all the candidates for the pastorate, and In structions were given the pulpit com mittee to continue Us work and bring new material before the church. Rev. Charles T. Morgan, of Philadel phia, pastor of the Spring Garden street church, was the popular choice of the meeting. On the first ballot he re ceived 105 of the 148 votes cast, but was six votes short of the 111 necessary to a choice. Four of the candidates were set aside on the second ballot, and on the third ballot only two were voted for. but the result was proportionately the same. Mr. Morgan falling three votes short of the number necessary to declare him the choice over Rev. S. T. Ford, of Syra cuse. The business meeting was preceded by a prayer meeting conducted by Arthur L. Collins. Luther Keller as moderator presided over the business session, which, when called to order, revealed about 150 per sons Qualified to vote and possibly a hundred others who were non-members or whose aire disqualified them from voting. Milton W. Lowry and Arthur L. Col lins were appointed delegates to the In vestigation to be held today in Jermyn regarding the charges preferred against P.ev. D. J. Williams of that place. Report of tlio Treasurer. According to a resolution' recently passed by the board of trustees, J. W. lirownlng, the church treasurer, read a statement of the finances of the church for the eleven months ending Dec. 1. It showed receipts of $5,859.19, disburse ments of S5.856.55 and a balance of S2.64 against an Indebtedness of $1,640.30. Al lowing for receipts and expenditures during the current mofitTi, the treasurei etslmated a deficit of $1,200 on Jan. 1. As soon as Moderator Keller an nounced the election of a pastor In or der the name of Rev. Charles T. Morgan was put In nomination by J. L. Stelle. Before It found a seconder Mr. Lowry moved that the pulpit committee be In structed to call more candidates, and Lemuel Amerman added an amendment providing that the election hi postponed until more candidates could be heard. The motion .id amendment comprised the first gun of the minority against Mr. Morgan. The motion was tabled on Jlr. Browning's motion by a vote of 106 t 41, which nearly revealed Mr. Morgan's .support and opposition. , A motion by B. F. Fillmore to vote by bp Hot was carried, and In answer to an Inquiry the moderator aitonuuced that any church member over, twenty years of age could vote ant that three-quarters of all the votfH cast would be nec essary to a choice. Then were read the names of the fol lowing candidates: Rev. Charles V. Morgan, .of . Philadelphia; Rev. S. T Ford, of Syracuse; Rev. J. W. Good hugh, of Bryn Mawr; Rev. Dr. L. M. T. Haynes, of Troy; N. T and Rev. J. G. Walker, of Philadelphia. In addition to these, itev. Warren G. Partridge re ceived one complimentary vote on the first ballot and Rev. Mr. Smith, who had not been officially announced "as a can didate, two votes. Mr. Browning; Mr. Collins, Mr. Lowry. D. J. Thomas and Mr. Stelle were appointed teller The first ballot was as follows: Morgan 10! Ford 27 Goodhugh 13 Smith 2 Partridge , 1 Walker 0 Haties 0 Total 148 Necessary, to a choice ,111 A motion by one of the Morgan fac tion to drop ail but frhe three highest candidates was carried, and the second ballot resulted as follows: Morgan '. 95 Ford 29 Goodhugh 12 Total Necessary io a choice 102 After a half hour of argument by the admirers of Morgan in favor of continuing the balloting and against it by the minority, Mr. Amerman, who had been voting for Mr. Morgan, but who was opposed to .balloting while there was such a difference of opinion, renewed the motion made earlier In the evening that the balloting cease and the pulpit committee be instructed to call more candidates. The motion was tabled by a vote of 65 to 45 on motion made by F. M. Koehler, Another delay of possibly twenty minutes was created by argument for and against further balloting by Mr. Koehler, H. M.T Streeter, Mr. Amer man, Mr. Lowry, Mr. Browning, Dr. L. M. Gates, E. S. William, Mr. Fillmore, Mr; Thomas and others. . A motion to drop the name of Mr. Goodhugh and proceed to a final ballot was adopted. Mr. Morgan received 93 votes and Mr. Ford 35 votes; 96 votes were necessary to a choice. Then prevailed the motion of William McClave that the names of all the can didates which had been before the ses sion be withdrawn for all time and that the pulpit committee procure more can didates. Before the motion was voted upon there was fifteen or twenty min utes of debate., A brief prayer closed the meeting.; . . . . .. , .. Christian Feeling Shown ThronghoMt. ' Aside from their opposition those who did not favor Mr Morgan' candidacy' ottght to stop the balloting because they believed tie congregation should heaping spoonfuls. be nearly unanimous In Its choice. They argued that if Mr. Morgan was chosen following the conditions which prevailed last night he would feel em barrassed In his work. However, throughout all of the ardent talking and balloting the meeting did not show a lack of fellowship and Christian feel ing. There was nothing said or done which would cause a division of the congregation In Its further delibera tions. ' . HENRY ZENTAL DEAD. He Was Run Over by a Trip of Cars at Archbald Tuesday.

At the annual meeting of the Athletic association of the University of Penn sylvania held Tuesday night the treas urer's report for the fiscal year Sep tember 30, 1894, to September 30. 1895. showed a balance on hand In cash of $1,184.96 on September 30, 1894, and a deficit of $12,121.77. These figures mean that while foot ball is a winning sport from a financial point of view the other expenses entailed by base ball, rowing and track athletics are so heavy that sports are not a means of Income to a college. The receipts from all sources during the year mentioned were $93, 826.37. The expenditures were $93,936.48. leaving a balance on hand September 30, 1895, of $1,074.85. Unpaid bills to the extent of $4,000 left a deficit in the treasury at the beginning of this fiscal year of $3,048.50. The present foot ball season hns netted a gross return of $48,6G8.02 less guarantees and percent ages paid of $12,417.85, netting a gross receipt to Pennsylvania of $36,250.17. The expenditures for the season have amounted to $13,571.85, which deducted from the gross receipts makes a net profit of $22,6S5.32. The detailed re port Is as follows: Deducting the de ficit of $3,048.C0 at the beginning of the fiscal year from the profits of the foot ball season the present year leaves an amount on hand of nearly $20,000, to Bupport other branches of sport at Pennsylvania during the remainder of the present school year. The members of the Harvard foot ball team have treated the West Point cadets to a surprise. They have re turned the $250 given them by the cadets for the game played at West Point this fall. The cadets are never permitted to leave the academy to play with college or other teams, and it Is customary for them to pay the ex penses of visiting teams. When the Harvard men went to West Point and played the cadets this year they dis covered that no fee was charged to witness the game. They also learned tha.t the cadets and officers of the post were obliged to defray out of their own earnings for outfits and bringing com peting teams to West Point. When the I'arvard boys returned to Cambridge tl'ey talked the matter over and at tho end of the season returned the entire amount which hud been given them by the cadets. The West Pointers, not to be outdone as gentlemen and thoroughbreds, now propose to expend the returned money in the purchase of a beautiful Bllver trophy commemora tive of the game and present it to the Harvard boys. -:-i;:- The action of the racing board of the League of American Wheelmen, in ad vising race promoting clubs to with hold all prizes won by the Class B racing men Titus, Cabanne and Mur phy, until the board should decide whether their standing made them eli gible to accept the prizes won by them while racing, under a temporary rein statement is going to cause tournament clubs much trouble.

THE MATTERS WERE DISCUSSED No Decision Was Arrived at with Regard to Moving the Traetton Company's . Road and Another Conference Will Be Held To-day. There yet remains a hitch In the con templated conveyance of the Traction company's strip ot land on Robinson street. .In exchange for the privilege of oc cupying the center of the street the Traction company agreed to deed over to the city the private strip of land on which their tracks are now located. The conditions which they prescribed were not acceptable and after several con ferences were modified. Everything was moving smoothly and it was expected every day that the transfer would be consummated but when the Traction company failed to carry out their agreement the West Side board of trade which is engineer ing the matter decided to send a com mittee to Investigate.

Passengers Can Smoke on the Front Platforms of F.lcctrle Car A flood of objections and requests coming from a dissatisfied smoking public, which followed the order of the Scranton Traction company forbidding tobacco smoklnz on the platforms of Us cars has led to an abridgement of the order. Yesterday the car conductors were instructed to direct all smokers to the front platform. By allowing smoking on the rear plat form passengers getting on the cars were liable to brush against lighted clgurs and the 1ndy patrons especially were liable to suffer damr.ge to cloth ing. By allowing no smoking on the cars the smokers were Indignant, but by referring the tobaccoltcs to the front platform the company has struck, a golden mean. Very few smokers will stand on the front of a moving street car during the blasts of winter. They have the privi lege, but it Is doubtful if tho weed is alluring enough to cause them to en dure the chill. Of course, you've heard of Turn quest, the diamond merchant. THE PADDED CHRISTMAS EDITION Is a thing of the past. The shrewd advertiser knows from past experi ence that the large edition of spread eagle advertising does not bring a return commensurate with the ex penditure. The Tribune, realizing this, has not attempted to Impose this feature upon the business fra . ternlty this year, believing that its advertising patrons will receive bet ter service In Its regular edition. The people buy The Tribune, and therefore read its columns thor oughly. The constant reader Is, naturally, the intelligent buyer, and tho merchant who enjoys the pat- ronage of such people is always sure of a good return for the money spent 'in advertising.
