QUAKERS AGAIXST DR. CLARIS OFFICIATING AT WCDDLNUS. Rev. Othcll Gives the Friends Some Christian Advice Death of IlxCongreninn Pnrrott. Special ta the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., June 30. There was another development of Interest in the Dr. Dutvm Clark case to-day, when the question was raised as to whether or not he had the right to perform a marriage ceremony. He wa3 deposed from his ministry by the meeting of ministers and elders for his alleged unsound doctrine In allowing himself to be baptized, but this action not being approved by the monthly meeting, which consists of tho congregation to which Dr. Clark has preached for so many years, there are now two factions, one claiming- that he is not a minister and the other that he is. One day during the past week Dr. Clark performed a marriage ceremony, and the faction that claims he Is not a minister raised the question as to tho legality of hl3 act, and much speculation on tho subject has resulted. How the question can bo settled 13 not known, unless it becomes a test case In the courts, as It is claimed the July meeting, which Is the parent body, will not take any action on Mr. Clark's case. Rev. J. Everlst Cathell. rector of St. Paul's Church of this city, preached a powerful sermon here to-day with reference to Dr. Dougan Clark and tho Society of Friends, in which he appealed to Friends not to erect any more barriers betwen themselves and the rest of the Christian world. He said that to depose a man from the Christian ministry simply bocause he had followed Christ's example and precept and had been baptized is to put a fearful strain alike on language, thought and reason. He urged Friends not to exchange their old brave, glad watchwords "Liberty and Freedom." for. such words as "Prohibition," "Discipline" and "Penalty" with regard to holy baptism. SOXS OF VETERANS.

The indications are that the mass Democratic State convention, to bo held in this city, Tuesday, July 2, will be a pretty lively gathering. The suggestion for this convention came from the Denver central committee, of which ex-Alderman James S. McGllvray Is chairman. Tho argument was put forth that the Democracy was In a hopeless minority and that there was not a shadow of a show to win as long as the party was bound by Cleveland. It was" thought that by discussing the matter some understanding might be arrived at and some declaration made that would give the "Democracy a fighting show, in some parts of the State, at least. Some stormy sessions of the State central committee were held before the call for the convention was issued. Chairman Frank Arbuckle, who holds the position of receiver of the United States land office, attempted in vain to stem the tide of sentiment, in favor of holding ''a convention. Old-time politicians, experienced in party altars, represented that it would be the height of folly to allow the rank and rile to get a chance to express in open conven tion their opinion of the administration. All was to no purpose, however, the younger men of the party and the committee being of the opinion that the party was In a hope less minority as long as Cleveland ana Carlisle's financial policy was apparently Indorsed by silence. under this pressure the call was issued and it is said there will be a goodly repre sentation from every part of the State. There is little Question but that resolutions denouncing the sound-money views of Cleve land and "Cuckoo Carlisle will be intro duced in the convention. They will be op posed by the older members, who comprise many officeholders, and an attempt will be made to have a tame resolution straddling the question adopted as the sense of the convention. Editor Young for Silver. SAN FRANCISCO, June 30. The Chron icle to-day prints a ten-page article on the silver question, written by John P. Young, managing editor of the paer. Mr. Young has made financial questions a special etudy and his essay Is a strong argument in favor of a bimetallic standard.

Sample Case of an Innocent Sinn Who Was Found Guilty. L Detroit Free Press. "Did I ever know of an Innocent man being convicted on circumstantial evidence ?"- repeated a Detroit lawyer, in response to a query by a reporter. "Yes, I know of a case. In fact, 1 was the prisoner's attorney.It happened in Missouri about twenty years ago, and was one of my first cases." "It was this way," continued the lawyer, as he got comfortably settled down "A farmer had a horse stolen, and the animal was followed for ten miles and found under a shed in the suburbs of the. town where I lived. At the same time they found a man In hiding. He refused to give any account of himself, and when charged with being the horsethief he did not deny it. It was not until he was put on trial in the higher court that I wa3 retained. He stoutly declared his Innocence, and had several' men on hand to prove his good character, but he wouldn't account for his whereabouts on the night the horse was stolen. I not only felt sure of his guilt, but had no show to make for him, and wasn't disappointed when he was convicted off-nand. As to the 'circumstantial part, they proved that he knew the horse, and had said that he felt tempted to steal it. Also, that he was seen that evening within a mile of the farmer's barn. Horse hairs were found on his trousers legs, and he was In hiding near the horse. Everything pointed to his guilt, and the jury made quick work of him." "And wasn't he guilty?" asked one of the group. "Not a bit of It. After he had been sentenced for three years his wife came to me and wanted me to advise-him to tell the truth. She knew it all the time. He was out that night with two other men to rob a store, and they got away with a wagon load of goods. He was set to watch, and while thus serving was run into tho shed by the men in pursuit of the horsethief. The latter got away and the other was captured. To give his gang time to get away he let himself be taken to jail, and was ultimately tried, convicted and sentenced. He had nothing more to do with the horse than I had." "And what did you advise?" "His best Interest, of course. He'd got three years for stealing a horse, but if he owned up to the store robbery he'd get from ten to fifteen. I told him to shut up, and the advice was so good that I got ?50 for it. Yes, circumstantial evidence sometimes convicts -an innocent man, and if you are ever on a Jury U will be well to remember this fact." Plimmtr and Dixon to Fight. NEW YORK, June 30. "Parson" Davies, who represents "Billy" Plimmer here, and Tom O'Rourke. for George Dixon, had a conference this afternoon at the Coleman House with a view of trying to arrange a fight between Dixon and Plimmer in Dallas. Tex., In October. Plimmer's cablegram to the effect that he would not fight Dixon except at 115. pounds, weigh in at the ringside. In a measure had thrown a whole lot of cold water over the proposed fight. "Joe" Vendlg was present at the conference. O'Rourke Anally agreed for Dixon to waive the one-hundred-and-elght-enn-pound contention, and said that Dixon would fight at 116 pounds, weigh in - four hours before the fight. Davies agreed to this, and Immediately cabled the provision to Plimmer. It Is believed that the latter will accept. O'Rourke left for Boston, on the afternoon train to consult with Dixon.

THAT GOLD CONTRACT XO rRETESE THAT IT HAS IlEEX OR IS TO DE CARRIED OFT. We Got from Europe Les than Half the Gold We RacKnlned For, bat Its Export Hence 1Vas Stopped. New York World. The statement in the World last Wednesday that the plain letter of the contract by which the Belmont-Morgan bond syndicate reaped a profit of abut J12.CO0.CO3 had been violated was met with denial by the acting head of the Treasury Department at Washington. Assistant Treasurer Hamlin said: "There has been no modification of the contract The provision that onehalf of the gold for the total amount of the loan shall be brought from abroad is to be carried oat." . . There is no longer any pretense that the contract has been or is to be literally carried out. It has been radically modified for the profit of the syndicate. When the contract was made It was for the placing "of 3,500,000 ounces of gold In the Uniteu States Treasury. At first the receiving clerks began weighing the gold as it was handed in at the assay office. This was promptly checked, as it never was the intention of the syndicate actually to put in that weight in gold. The right was claimed tc put in American coin as of full weight if above the limit of tolerance. This meant a possible concession of 17,500 ounces, or over 5350,000 worth of coin, if payment were made m coin at the limit of tolerance. Then the designation of banks as coin depositories practically put the use of millions of government money at the disposal of favored national banks for many months. The American contribution of the gold purchased by tne government- was promptly paid in, and dollar for dollar the bonds were passed out and interest on them began accruing. Less than half the foreign gold subscribed for the bonds was actually Imported. Instead, the Belmont-Morgan syndicate set out to prevent exports of gold in the ordinary trade channels. When the price of exchange ran up close to the gold export point, or even aoove it, the American bond syndicate furnished paper drafts on their foreign correspondents. . The higher-the rates exacted the better for the writers of the exchange, and it was -generally understood that any export of coin In preference to taking the offered paper would make matters very unpleasant ior the exporters. As most of the banking houses that profit by gold shipments were interested in the bond-syndicate profits, and none was courageous enough to oppose the Morgan-Bel-mont-Rothschild operations, even if they could do so profitably, there was a practical union of all the nnacial giants to prevent gold exports. The government had made the syndicate absolute master, of the exchange market. For the bonds which were sold on the other side, gold was paid by those who took them after the bidding there at 112. The original plan was to have that gold come here, but the syndicate preferred to keep theyellow metal in the vaults of the Rothschild and Morgan houses in Europe and gather up the coin for the American treasury from American banks. This it has done. It is now admitted by the partners in the syndicate operation that the original plan .s been modified by the Treasury Department at the request of the syndicate, and it Is added that Secretary Carlisle is highly gratified at the success of the operation".' The bond syndicate's absolute mastery of the foreign exchange market is conceded, and it is equally plain that if the bankers have It in their power to prevent - gold exports absolutely when it Is profitable to do so the enormous exports of gold prior to the bond contract were not wholly uninfluenced by their operations and interests. At all events the practical results are these: The bond syndicate received $G3,000,COO in government 4 per cent, bonds at about 104, which are selling in the open market for about 122. They and their associates have profited about J12.000.000, and, although they have not yet brought one-half of the f65,000,000 from abroad, as was intended they should, they have stopped fresh exports of gold from the United States. Wall street is unanimous In Its admiration of the bond-syndicato genius Mr. Morgan. It is said that at the time of the contract every outlook was blue, and the whole business world, and particularly the speculative arena, was deluged with doubt and gloom. The sentimentaF effect of the gold drainage was immense, and, with he stoppage of that, a boom set in which has meant millions to Wall street and millions more In the bettered business outlook tho country over. That is the argument which was used to Justify the bond deal when it was made at a rate entirely at variance with the credit of the country and which is now Used to explain away all modifications to which the contract has been subjected. In a formal statement made yesterday, one who was in the councils of the syndicate from the start and who speaks with inside authority, said: "There has been no mystery In the transaction, nor any need for any, and there Jias been no misunderstanding about it among well-informed men in this city. Of course, if some men insist on making a mystery of tho matter I suppose they are not to be prevented from doing eo. The matter, however, is vers' simple. The government has received payment In full In gold for all the bonds three months before the syndicate could have been compelled under Its contract to pay in the gold, and as a result the treasury reserve stands at the close of the financial year at more than 1107.000,000. True, the syndicate has apparently paid for $15,000,000 of the European half of the bonds (J32.8O0.CO0) with gold that was not specially imported by them for the purpose as required by the contract, but the erovernment. acting through their representative, accepted that domestic gold, and in doing so it is to be presumed they thought they acted for the best interests cf the country. And who shall say to the contrary? "Since the contract was entered Into with the syndicate not a dollar of gold has txen exported, although it is well known that but for the great skill shown by the managers of the syndicate In what is termed haute finance, many millions of dollars' worth of gold would have been exported. "The contract with the synd!cate is still in force and that they will fulfil It like honorable men is not to be doubted for a moment. Whether that fulfilment will require the importation of more gold cannot be foretold, but apparently not." After Years. "Give back my child!" I plead that day. My face against the coffin lid. "Here is the place, upon my breast; Not there In cold and darkness hid. Why, he had Just begun to live To know my face, to laugh, tQ -reach His hands to meet my Hps, and make Sweet essays at some unknown speech!,' "Untrodden round his baby feet The whole fair realm of childhood lay; Nor stones nor thorns to make them bleed My hand had smoothed them all away. No wind of heaven had buffeted His sunny head with cruel breath My arms had safely sheltered him. Give him to me, O Death!" Now. standing by that little grave Where In and out the passing years Weave tapestries of green and gold, I Rmile, remembering my tears. I lay my gray head on the mound That drank mv tears, and 'neath my breath I whisper: "It is better so! Keep him; O gentle Death!" --Julia Schayer, in the Century for July.

The Rumbarger string of flyers will bo taken to the State fair-grounds to-day, to begin their training. The string Included Ethan K., Sterling R. Holt and a colt belonging to Tom Taggart that promises to be very fast. There was a race one day last week between Bert Shanks, Sterling R. Holt and Tom Taggart. The, latter two made up a scheme to beat Shanks, who waa driving one of Taggarfs colts. The stako was to be ten dollars worth of boots that had been bought the day before. If Taggart or Holt beat Shanks out. he was to ray for the boots. It was arranged for holt to take the first turn at racing with Shank, and, though the latter had the taster nag. the trainer did not seem to shirk the meeting. He knew the horses and under tool how to drive. Sterling Holt and he mai the start with Mr. Taggart as starter, lloiu forged :ahead, bestriding a sulky for th first time in his life. But he did not think: of pulling in to the pole, and thus left a. gap that Shanks took advantage of. Hi drove Into it, and then jockeyed Holt's horsi until it left its feet and bareiy saved itself the distance. Then Taggart tried to beat th trainer. The latter knew that his opponent' horse has a habit of going up in the air whenever a horse runs up suddenly by its side. The race had not proceeded tar until the trainer tried this piece of jockeying with the expected result. Taggart's horsa could not be brought down at-H. and tho rest of the mile was finished in a run. The distance flag -was thrown in his face.. There was a great laugh at the amateur driver's expense when the race w?.s finished, and the two conspirators lost thvir wager. THEY HEARD THE PLASTER FALL. Two Women Who v Thought Thejr Surely Hud. a Burclnr. This morning, after 1 o'clock, a police whistle blowing short calls . for help waa heard in the neighborhood of New Jersey and Market streets. Captain Quigley's attention was called to the address signal while he was in a restaurant at the corner of Delaware and Washington, streets. Summoning patrolman Richardson he hurried In the direction of the sound. Two women were at the front window of a housa a few doors north of Market street. In hushed- voices they said there was a burglar in the house, for they had heard him at work down stairs. The officers were admitted to the house" and a search was made, without finding any burglar. On a back stairway was found a quantity of plaster which had fallen down. The falling of theplastcr was the noise which tho women probably had heard, and when they saw what had frightened them they wer rery, very sorry for the trouble they had caused, but greatly relieved to learn that It was not a burglar. . CITY SEWS NOTES. The Board of Trade .governors will meet to-r.isht. Henry Rauh, councilman at large, says the report that he is a candidate fcr reelection is-a mistake. Mr. Rauh says he would not accept the position again under any circumstances. Du Maurler's Xew Xovrl. H. J. Harper, in New York Tribune. It is hardly correct to speak of Du Maurler as having finished another novel. In February last he had only completed twothirds of his manuscript, and Du Maurier considers the mere writing of a story as only a very small part of his work. He is the most painstaking author I kno and he finds it difficult to satisfy himself with his own efforts. In a letter I received front him a-little while ago he wrote. "When I have finished the writing I mean to go over every line again and revise it many times. I do not mean it to leave my hands until I am reasonably satisfied with every line" and that means a good deal in the case of Du Maurier. Iook at the labor he infused, Into "Peter Ibbetson," his first novel. Ha first wrote it in rJnglish, rewrote it in French and then In English again. He assures me that his new story will not ba ready for the publishers until December. 1S36. I cannot' tell you much about the book itself yet. but it will not be in any en?e a. sequel to "Trilby," except so far as it will succeed that book. Tjje new story will deal In its opening chapters with French school life, and then wth p:ngli?h life, both fashionable" and-rowdy: then the artistic wor!4 of Antwerp and Dussedorf is exploited, while the closing stages occur in England. There will be love In the tale, of course, and Du Maurier also brings in the supernatural again. There will be plenty of liveliness and some tragedy. The book, I am given to understand, will be capable of Illustration: but I am sorry to say there is some doubt as to whether Du Maurier himself will illustrate it. It will depenJ entirely upon the state of his health, whlcli of late has not been of the .best. The length of the story will be greater than "Trilby" and will run through about twelve numbers of Harper's Magazine, In which it will first be published In serial form. Tosslbly. DetroitTribune.
