NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA
CHURCH WAR OVER
LANGUAGE ISSUE
SOME WANT WELSH, OTHERS
WANT ENGLISH.
The Dispute Wnxcs so Wnrm Thnt
It la Finally Taken Before Judge
Woodward for Settlement Facts
Brought Out nt Hearing DecUion
Reserved.
Wilkes-Banc, Oct. 0. The question of
whether the minister of the Welsh
Methodist Episcopal church on the
Heights shall preach his evening ser
mons In the Welsh or English language
has caused a serious split In that con
gregation. The church was closed to
the pastor, an injunction was secured
and now the matter will be decided in
the courts. Argument In the caso was
made today before Judge Woodward.
Hpv. 11. P. Morgan Is the pastor of
the church, being appointed by the
Methodist conference, and ho decided
to preach his evening sermons In the
Englsh language, believing that It
would Increase the church membership.
The dissenting faction claim It Is a
Welsh church, for the Welsh people
and the Welsh language should be used
In the evening If they desire It. The
break in the congregation became
wider and finally the minister found
the church door closed anil locked
against him.
An Injunction was secured to compel
the trustees to opciv the church, and
the court continued It for a tlme.hoplng
that tho people would settle their
trouble without recourse to courts of
law. but no settlement could be reached,
and last week testimony was taken.
This morning arguments were made
before Judge Woodward and Hev. Mr.
Morgan testified that the majority of
the congregation favored tho English
service in the evening. A former cinss
leader testified that the majority
favored Welsh. Almost the whole con
gregation was present at the argument
and the factions occupied cither side of
the court room.
THE AltOUMENTS.
The plaintiff was represented by ex-
Judge Rhone and the defendnnt trus
tees had as their attorneys P. A.
O'Boyle and D. E. Haxter.
Ex-Judge Rhone set forth that those
who opposed Rev. Mr. Morgan were In
surgents who rebelled against tho au
thority of the church. He asked the
Judge to decide this church a part of
the great Episcopal church and that
the church should be opened and given
over to the services selected by the pas
tor. ,
Attorney Baxter argued that the
Welsh church Is an Independent church,
that the charter makes It a Welsh
church and that Itev. Mr. Morgan and
his faction of the congregation are the
secedcrs. He asked that the court do
not take away their rights of conduct
ing their services In the Welsh lan
guage for which the church was incor
porated. Attorney P. A. O'Boyle followed Mr.
Baxter and asked what the first Welsh
Methodist Episcopal church means. If
it does not mean that the services be
conducted In Welsh. He read the sec
tion of the charter which said that the
Incorporators had the power to malco
rules and laws of their church, for Its
good government nnd support. He said
there was no laws or discipline in the
Methodist Episcopal church enforcing
upon nny one to use any special lan
guage, and It was unjust and arbitrary
to force a language upon the people
they did not want, nnd contrary to the
charter which incorporated a Welsh
church.
XO COMPROMISE.
Judge Woodward asked Mr. O'Boyle
if he would bo satisfied to open the
church until the ecclesiastical court de
cldethe cae. which the latter refused
and said that the Welsh people would
then have no Welsh church. Judge
Woodward said the sensible thing
would be to have the minister go back,
preach half In Welsh and half In Eng
lish, and refer the whole matter to the
ecclesiastical court.
Mr. O'Boyle said a decree could be
made allowing Mr. Morgan to come
back, but that ho use the Welsh lan
guage. Judge Rhone said that if Mr.
O'Boyle's argument was right, at the
last day at the setting of the sun there
would be one lone Welshman found on
.Sherman street, and that the Metho
dlst Episcopal church would be pay
ing for and sending n missionary to
preach Welsh for his special benefit.
Judge Woodward tool; tho papers and
dismissed all the witnesses.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Oct. S. The stock mar
ket today continued to show markel
Indifference to tho difficulties us well as
clgn markets on account of the war
scare nnd money difficulties as well as
the continued stiffness of the local
money rate. Prices dipped at the
opening on the rumor of an Invasion
of Natal by the Boer forces and on
the further advice In the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount. But tho open
ing prices were for the most part the
lowest and the market quite promi
nently set about retrieving Its decline.
The liquidation of Londori account
wns of comparatively small volume,
sales not exceeding 15,000 sharei. In
fnct, the foreign stok mark-ts seemed
to take no very serious account of
lie strained condition of affairs and
even the Kaffir mlir.jr s'ocks, which
would bo most vitally affect M bv the
v nr, were quite firm.
The market for call monfsy In Now
York showed further relief from the
extreme- stringency, though by no
means on an easy basis. Today's
maximum rate was 12 per cent., and It
fell before tho close below the legal
rnte. The undertone of the market
for stocks was very firm. This wns
not due to any large demand, even
In the case of stocks which moved
quite wildly, but rather to the bidding
up of prices by those interested In
seeing a higher figure for their hold
ings. This bidding up process, hov
ever, failed to bring out flirge offer
ings, which fact was significant of the
market's firmness. Another was the
largo number of stocks not usually
dealt In which were brought Into ac
tivity nnd the numerous odi' lots which
were recorded on the tape. The lat
ter feature Is always indicative of the
pres-nce of the bargain hunter, who Is
buying stocks outright to hold as an
lnvcsment; a class of buyers who do
not depend on the money market for
borrowed funds. There is undoubted
ly growth of confidence that tho strin
gent period for money is over. The
demnnd from tho Interior for funds
continues largo and may encroach on
the reserve of the Interior banks loaned
on call In New York. Total sales, 277,-
soo.
The bond market was very dull, In
sympathy with stops. Total sales par
value, $1,275,000.
