THEY WANT A SHOUTER.

A Former Terre Haute Pastor Resigns Because Hte lock Doesn't like Quick Preaching.

The Rev. W. R. Davis, formerly pastor in the Third Baptist church, (colored) in this ?ity, has resigned the pastorate of a colored Baptist church in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Davis left here last February because his congregation was dissatisfied with his style of preaching. In speaking to his congregation he said he did not believe in kicking a hole in the wall, tearing up and down the aisles, and rolling on the floor as the right method in ex. pressing religious over joy. In speaking of the resignation of Mr. Davis at Louisville which is for the same cause that he resigned here, the Louisville CourierJournal says: "Dr. Davis is a colored man about 35 years of age, and represents the most ad vanced culture and individuality of hiS race. He was reared in Boston, Mass., aad was educated in the theological department of Harvard university. From 1879 to 1880 he was president of the Colored State university in this city, but resigned during the latter year and returned to Boston. During February of the present year he was solicited to accent the pastorate of the Zion church, on Center street, and accordingly returned to Louisville and began his religious duties in that month.

For some time there has been in the congregation a vein of discontent with Dr. Davis and his preaching, and when it came to the knowledge of the minister he immediately sent in his resignation to the church board. It is understood that it will be accepted^ and the affair has caused great surprise among the other colored pastors in the city. Still more surprising is the Cause of that resignation as revealed by a talk with Dr. Davis yesterdayafternoon. "The people of my church," said he, ''have been accustomed to a very louu and vociferous style of preaching, and as it was not my habit to act thus they grew discontented with me. They wished me to appear very much excited and jump wildly about when I addressed them, and as I spoke in a different manner the majority of them did not like my method of preaching, and therefore I handed in my resignation."

A talk with some of the pastor's adherents showed this to be the case. All the former preachers in that .church adopted the noisy style, and usually caused their congregations to grow very much excited, and when Dr. Davis talked in a quiet, logical maimer many of. them did not like it. Others.favored it. Deacons Harkins. Williams and Ranfore did not wish to have the resignation accepted, but their wishes will be overruled.

Dr. M. M. Bell for some time presided, and his preaching was said to be always on the sensational order. He wonld shout during the sermon, and educated the congregation to like that method of giving them their spiritual food. Mr. Bell was succeeided by the Rev. Mr. HuSman, and when he left, during last February, the name of Mr. Davis was instantly proposed for the vacancy, with the approbation of all. He came according to request, and began to preach. Everything went smoothly until hs learned that his quiet style of preaching was not liked, and he instantly sent in his resignation, to go into effeet on the 1st of September.

Dr. Davis feels considerably hurt over the matter, but does not think it right to change his oratory and pander to a false taste for sensationalism, and "therefore chooses to leave instead. He does not know where he will go, but is at present

with his family on York street, between

Sixth and Seventh,

Dr. Davis is well known, both among white and colored people. He made quite a reputation for scholarship during his presidency of the state university in this city. Since that time and until his return here he has been living in Boston.

More will probably be heard of the affair before the resignation of Dr. Davis is formally accepted."

NEW MINERS AT MINSHALL.

The Mines in Operation-A Colony of Over One Hundred to Go Back HomeBoth Sides of the Affair.

Nothing new was reported from the Minshall mines yesterday. Quite a surprise however, was created about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon by tbe arrival of two passenger coaches loaded with negroes who the previous d?~ had gone to Mi nshall in a party of nearly 450 to go to work'. Fearing that there might be a disturbance of some kind a telephone message was sent to the police headquarters for a squad of police. The patrol wagon filled wilh blue coats dashed down to the depot where quite a crowd had assembled. There was no disturbance of kind. W police remained until the /egroes were taken east on a freight iraln at 5 o'clock. To an Express reporW f»ne of the party said that circulars gotten Jut by a Richmond, Va., labor agent, stated that the mines were newly opened, and that homes were provided for tb6m.

Minshall they found that the "white mineis had been out on a strike. They held a meeting yesterday morning. During the night a large party had to stand guard, tearing an attacK from Carbon miners. The meeting resolved to demand of the company ample food, or that they be sent back home. The company consented to the latter. Thi negroes stated that there would probably be trouble, as neighboring miners and the people in general at Minshall were opposed to the negroes filling the places of white miners. They were angry with those who remained and had no good wishes for them, branding them as dishonorable and ignorant.

A member of the company gaye a different version of the affair. The negroes were obtained through a labor agent in Richmond, who was paid a commission. He sent more men than was required and the party was reinforced at Cincinnati, Terre Haute, and other places. The confpany could not find places for all of them and agreed to send 160 of them as far as Cincinnati on their way home. The remaining negroes weye pjit to work in the mines yesterday morning.. About fifteen of the white mipejs acknowledged that "they were in the wrong and asked to be taken "back, back, which was done. A number more strikers will be put to work this morning. It will require about a month before the mines are. running at their fullest capacity, as there is considerable wt'ler in the mines and other hinderaiices owing to the long idleness of the mines. Hoisting will be commenced this morning. Hi is thought mines will run steadily and no trouble will be had from any source.

It is rumored in this city that the dif-

£ejrent

labor organizations at their next xegtilaf meetings wj.ll adopt -resolutions condemning the action of t^ose persons vho were sworn in as special police and went 4o Minshall for the purpose of protecting ths negroes in casa there was any trotfble with toe ttinere.

The Old Light (taard Will Form Permanent Organization, but Jiot For Service.

This was the first instance of he meeting of so many of the members of the eompany for along time. Old times were talked over. Ex.Mayor Armstrong moved that a committee on permanent organiza tion be appointed. The motion was carried, and the chair appointed Mr. Armstrong, Captain M. .N. Smith, John Davis, M. N.' Diall and Will Durham. Mr. Armstrong declined the chairmanship of the committee, and Mr. Smith was appointed. The permanent organization is not for entering the militia, but for social relations, and for paying proper respect to deceased members.

The Light Guard, in its palmy days, was the crack company of the state. Over $18,000 was expended on the company during its organization.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

The Essler Investigation Results In the Dismissal of the Officer—New Appointments.

The board pf police commissioners met in the mayor's office yesterday morning pursuant to adjournment. Every member of the board was present. At Mayor Kolsem's suggestion the reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed with. Commissioner Clift re minded the board that the regular business before them was the further considation of the charges of drunkenness against Officer Adam Essler, of the Fifth police district. Numerous witnesses were examined to show that Officer Essler, on the night of July 22d, was sober when seen on .the streets. Orrin White, testified to having seen Essler on a previous occasion standing at the bar of Pritchet's saloon and Officer Lewis, who was notified of the fact at the time, testifiSff to having found Essler sitting at a table with his head on

THII M'KEEN RIFLES.

The Company Decides Not to Re-Entcr the State Service.

The McKeen Rifles decided last night not to re-enter the state service. They claim that they have been treated unfairly by Adjutant-General Kuntz, and that the state makes no effort to foster its militia. The company decided some time ago, soon after its term of enlistment in the state service had expired, to reenter the service, but were delayed on account of the resignation of the captain. The adjutant-general was so notified, Last week the company received notice from the adjutant-general that they must be mustered in the service or give up their arms. The adjutant general was notified again that it was the company's intention to enter the service. Last Thursday Quartermaster Shepherd appeared in the city must be __ the arms. He was requested !o have some one de:

utized to be present and muster in company, and he promised to do so. Captain Gregory, of the Thompson Rifles, was deputized, but did not appear at the armory of the McKeen Rifles last night. When the company met last evening many of the members expressed indignation at the treatment they had been subjected to, and a motion was made, and prevailed, to reconsider the resolution passed 'x enter the state service. This does not mean that the company will disband. An effort will be made to have the county commissioners furnish arms, and if unsuccessful there an application will be made to the United States government.

It is the intention of the company to go into camp at Lake Maxinkuckee today. Last night a committee secured the use of the wooden guns .used by the Blaine ana Logan escort clab last fall, and the company will leave the armory this afternoon armed with these, mock implements of war. They will march up Main steeet, headed by a brass band. About thirty-five will go into camp. The company will be in charge of. Second Lieutenant Will Briggs, First Lieutenant McKeen not being_able to go on account of business. The company will return next Saturday afternoon and will participate in the Grant memorial exercises. Yesterday afternoon Capt. M. N. Smith, who is lieutenant colonel of the regiment of which the company belonged, asked the adjutant general if the company could use the guns during their encampment, but he refused.

Many of the IJifles denounce Adjutant General Kuntz, and accuse him of working against the company. The last visit the adjutant general made to this city he stopped at the Terre Haute House. He had his bill charged to the McKeen Rifles, and it was sent in and paid. The state pays the adjutant general's expenses and the hoys thought the payment of his hotel bill unjust at the time, but paid it without a murmur.

The officers of the bank have been obliged to make an examination of thebooks under very disadvantageous circumstances but it developes the fact that the abstracting of the bank's property has been made from time to time dating back several years, and amounting to $74,000, which is probably lost- The examination justifies us in saying that the soundness of the bank is unaffected, and its capital of $900,000 unimpaired, and that there is considerable surplus in addition."

TOO MANY LAWYERS

Brooklyn Practitioners Who appear in Court on an average Once a Tear. Brooklyn Times.

"That lawyer hasn't been in this court for nearly a year past," said Clerk Charles Farrell, of the city court, a few days ago, as he pointed out a thin, consumptivelooking young man standing before the bar and arguing a motion for alimony and counsel fees in a divorce ca«e, "And he may not be here again in another year," Clerk Farrell added. "He is an illustration of the line that 'one-l of the world doesn't know how the other half lives."' "Where dees he practice?" asked the reporter. "In Brooklyn." "Are there many more like him?" "I should say so. The practice of the law is a gieat lottery." "Hpw many lawyers are there vho do business in Brooklyn?" queried ke reporter.

Mr. Farrell went into another room, and, bringing in a lawyer's directory, counted tne nam.es.

There were just 1,390. "Out of all these," continued Mr. Far rell, "not over fifty do a good paying 5 don't

A class of lawyers we

often hear of in court are men who do what ia known as 'real estate' business. Again there are those hired by corporations, with good salaries, easy places and a comfortable private practice. There a firm on Court street composed of three brothers and all of them wealthy, their money having all come from real estate." "How about the pleaders?" "The pleaders at the bar work hard. A great many people who go to law beat around for a cheap man and generally get a young one. He pockets his retainer right away, getting all he can. When the case comes to trial he 4^t try it himself. He gets a pretty good counsel to assist him and the client has to pay him." "Who works the hardest?" "The counsel gets, the cream of the work and the attorney does all the prearing of the case for trial. One of the eading counsel in the suit of De Wols & Swan against Henry Day got $10,000 for one month's services."

What do these young lawyers earn "A good many of them around the city hall make on an average about $10 a week. The general term, every three months, turns out forty or fifty young lawyers, some of them totally unfit to practice. Very often a good many of them abandon the law altogether and go out into the business world. Many of them leave Brooklyn and go to New York," "Is not the law business of Brooklyn increasing in proportion as the city grows?" "Yes, The June judgments in the city court-number fifty or sixty more than those for the corresponding time last year. But the business is monopolized by the few, I may say by less than tweutyfive firms," "What remedy have the young men got?" "Why, immigration. /-C, "What do you mean "Let them follow Horace Greeley's advice and 'Go W«.st.' Let tliem squat dowu and grow up with the country. A young man of ray acquaintance went out to Lawrence, Kan. The first case he got was very important, one against the state. He is now doing a splendid business and is constantly sending to me to send on law bog^s. But when a youpg man does go out west let him take a wife with him keep him steady," and Mr. Farrell took up his pen and began again to take notes ot the court proceedings.

Conner secretitty. While the nieeting was not large yet an earnest.determination was manifested to' push the temperance cause forward. A mimber of temperance workers were present besides this committee. The committee declared in favor of referring the question of the prohibition amendnlent to a direct vote of the people through the dominant political parties, and against separate political action,' and pending the decision of the question of prohibition in favor of local -option, where a majority of the people so demand, and a high tax on the traffic in counties not adopting local option, and praying the legislature to pass stringent laws in accordance therewith.

The Red Prince of Pmasia Killed by His Wife. London Truth.

A profound sensation has been excited in Berlin and Vienna by the appearance in a well kuowp German newspaper of what purports to be a true account of the death of Prince Frederick Charles. TK journal asserts in plain terms that -lie Red Prince did not die of apoplexy, but that he was shot dead by his wife. A Belgian journal makes the following comments on the narrative: "The Red Prince did not live on good terms with his wife. Some grave scenes had taken place—scenes so serious, in

his hand, and that he led him out and to. .-{act, that the old emperor had

About noon the commissioners announced that they had dismissed Ese^r from the force. Supetnumary Lyons, who has been on detailed service as sanitary officcr, was given a regular appointment in Essler's place, and Supemumary M. O'Donnfel was detailed as sanitary officer. Mr. John Rogers, of the Second ward, was appointed a supemumary. The boar^^en adjourned.

A Statement of the annEactnrers and Traders' Bank, Buffialo. BUFFALO, N. Y., July 31.—Many ru

to assign to Prince Frederick Charles an isolated castle for his residence. It was a disgra -e to be thus almost excluded bom tlie d.iut, where his prtsence had caused -scandals incompatible with the seventy of morals there observed.

DEMOCRATIC BLUNDERING.

Hathorn Hast Go—Dissatisfaction with the Appointments.

The democrats have decided that John H. Hathorfi must leave the revenue service. Public opinion demands his removal. It is not because Hathorn is offensive to a majority of the democrats, bat because ol the great public indigna tion. "It is something strange, this Hathorn business," said a democrat to the reporter yesterday. "I was out of the city when I heard the news, and I would not have been more astonished if I had been told he had been arrested for horse stealing. I have knoWn him for years." Hathorn, it is said, has lived a quiet and peaceful life for the last fifteen yean, ana has accum mulated considerable property. He owns a large farm in Pierson township. The strangest thing about his desertion is that many of his old neighbors had no recollection of the fact. The exposure was great surprise to all.

Those who have been appointed gaugers and storekeepers ue on the anxious seat. Not a. scratch of a pen have they received notifying them of their appointment, and consequently have not had a chance to fill their bonds. There is a whisper that one or two will not be able to fill their bonds and, then again,there is another whisper, more awful and hollow than the other, that there will be some changes.

Sufficient Excuse

Shortly before uoon Friday, says the New York Telegram, an elderly gentleman, carrying a huge carpet-bag, labored up Barclay street toward Broadway. On the corner he stopped and looked about him. The drapery on the surrounding buildings caught his eye. He looked puzzled. Finally he tapped the shoulder of a burly policeman, who was standing near. "What be they puttin' all that black cloth on the houses fur?" asked the old man. "On account of General Grant's death, of course," replied the policeman. "Sho 1 Ye don't mean to say the ole gineral's dead, dew ye?" "Died yesterday morning, 8 o'clock," replied the officer.

A shade of genuine sorrow passed over the rugged features of the interlocutor. "Wall, I vow 1" he ejaculated. "Must a bin sunthin' kinder sudden, wa'nt it?'' "He.has been on the point of death for six months," said the blue-coat. "Where hare you been hanging out that you haven't heard all about it?" "Wall, the fac' is I've jes come down from Philadelphy this mornin' "Oh, that explains it," interrupted the guardian of the peace, as he moved away.

ATTACKING CHURCHILL.-?

Tfae StAndArd Bmjo (he SalUbury. Government Must Disavow His Statements. LONDON, July 31.—The Standard,

which is the accepted tory orgag, uses the following language in its attack on Lord Randolph Churchill as a leader of the conservativfe party: "To speak plainly. Lord Randolph Churchill has been puffed in the press with admirable assiduity by a well organized clique, which is alwavs ready "to cry 'prodigious' whenever he opens his mouth. But it is all in vain. The Liverpool incident shows the extent of the alarm which Churchill's blundering and blustering have inspired within the bosom of his party.' It were a thousand times better that the conservatives should be again in the opposition than that they should be exposed to the humiliation of such things as Churchill's attacks on Earl SpencePs government of Ireland. Unless tBe government disavows these attacks it Will feel the bad effects in the future more seriously than it has yat contemplated. The truth is Lord Randolph Churchill has been much overrated. If his pranks be endured longer he will smash the? government and the conservative party. We will follow the Marquis of Salisbury, but we will not follow this overgrown school boy, without knowledge enough to fatham his own ignorance of statesmanship. It is a common saying that Lord Randolph Churchill is equally a radical with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, and the popular estimate is not far wrong."
