I on... E. Fitch Also Wl‘itesca
' Letter.
Says the Lane Faction Has Dwindled to a
Small Minority.
Deacon E. Fitch of the Weston
Church writes to the W'estporter about
the troubles in that ehurch,as follows:——
"The resolutions refered to as hav-
ing been brought before the Church to
I pass upon the pastor’s character was a
complaint gotten up by the Lane’s and
others (who had been solicited by them)
with a view to calling a “Mutual Coun-
cil" with the party who stand by the
church and pastor for the avowed pur
pose of dcposing said minister.
The petition was presented to the
clerk on Sabbath morning, Jan. 2,
asking that it be taken before the con.
gregation and action be taken at- once.
The plerk and deacons opposed its
being read, on the grounds that it was
not a fit communication to present- on
the. Lord’s day. Much less on this par-
ticular Sunday as it was communion
Sabbath. g
. Notwithstanding this objection. Mr.
J. S. Lane arose in his seat immediate-
ly after the morning offering had been
taken and demanded his right as a
Church member to a hearing on his
document, stating that if the Church
refused to entertain the complaint and
join in a mutual council of the Congre~
gational Church against the Rev. Ar-
thur, then the petitioners would at
once proceed to call an-exparte coun-
cil. .
The Church objected to its being
, read and referred him to the following
Wednesday evening, the proper time
to bring up the matter.
W'cdncsday evening came and the
Church was well filled with the town’s
people to listen. Sherifi Kemper had
been sent for to kéi‘ep order among the
petitioners. Several petitioners hav-
ing since signed their names to Mr.
Lane's document learned that the paper
was for an entirely difierent purpose
than what they had supposed, went to
the Clerk and had their names taken
off”. At the appointed time the meet-
ing was called to order‘ by the pastor
who is the moderator. The complaint
was read and immediately a vote was
taken to allow the pastor to answer it,
which he did to the satisfaction of all
present, (the Laneites excepted,) after-
Iwhich attorney Gregory was permitted
to produce evidence bearing on Mr.
Arthur’s character, which brought
up his past record from the beginning
of his ministry and which showing him
to have been above reproach.
Attorney Gregory then challenged
the Lane side to produce anything to
the contrary which they failed to do.
A vote was then taken to have no-
thing further do with it and the
meeting adjourned.
Sabbath morning the Church invited
the Rev. Arthur to remain with them
for another year, which he accepted.
No one opposed to it. but the Lane
faction, which has dwindled to a very
small minority since 'Wednesday even-
ing.”

An outbreak in the county jail in
Bridgeport began last Saturday, and
was only quelled yesterday. Twelve
tramps complained of the jail fare and
refused to work. When they began a
noisy demonstration they were confined
in dark' cells. Since then they have
made a great din by yelling and throw-
ing missiles. Yesterday Sherifl“ Haw-
ley brought them to terms by threaten-
ing to turn the hose on them. All but
one submitted and returned to work.
The twelfth tramp is still locked up in

MONETARY 3&3de HEARING.” '
[Ex-Senator Edmunds Speaks in Support
of the Commission’s Bill.
Washington, Jan. 13.—The Monetary
Commission was given a. hearing yes-
terday by the
Commission,
Secretary Gage was present. The hear-
ing attracted much interest, a number
of the mefnbers of the House.) accom-
panied by women, being in attendance.
Several members of the Commission
were ready to speak before the com-
mittee, including ex-Senator Fairchild.
The committee decided, however, to
hear Mr. Edmunds first.
Mr. Edmunds said that the funda-
mental principle which the commission
had felt ~was to be considered in es—
tablishing a stable currency was, first
to know what the standard of value
in this country is, and is to be. On this
there were many divergent views
among financial authorities. Many
believed, and he was one of these, that
it was impossible to have more than
one standard of value. If this be true,~
then the question is, What is the best
standard. The experience of the world,
Mr. Edmunds said, was that the best
standard was the one subject to least
change, one to which all other values
most readily adjusted themselves,‘ one
which will be the same when a trans-
action closes as it was when it opened.
The Commission felt this, that such a
thing as a double standard had never
existed in the world through natural
operations. There had been double
standards established by law. but nev-
er in fact. When it came to an actual
standard, there could be but one.
Mr. Edmuuds then referred to the ex-
world, all showing, he said, that a. sin-
gle standard meant stability and safe-
ty while legal attempts at double
standards meant disaster and panic.
From this universal experience, Mr.
Edmunds said, he and his associates
had come to the conclusion that the
first principle on which to base a cur-
rency was to' have one standard; that
gold is the best standard, because it is
the most stable of all standards of
value and subject to the least fluctua-
tion from year to year and from cen-
tury to century.
Following Mr. Edmunds,
child took up the banking'" section of the
commission's report. Mr. Fairchild
said ,it was useful to consider how in-
telligent private individuals would con-
duct banking without the aid of law
and from that judge what the Govern—
ment can do. As to the bank-note.
there was no essential need of theiGov-
ernment being a factor. The main
ground for Government interference in
a bank-note circulation was to facili-
tate the rapidity of exchange by giving
regularity to an otherwise natural op-
eration between individuals.
Mr. Fairchild said the banking fea-
tures of the bill sought to follow nat-
ural lines by binding all their re-
sources, rather than requiring a depos-
it of bonds with a Government trustee.
To accompish this, all the banks were
bound together in common action in a
protection of all the notes they issued.
From a personal inquiry Mr. Fairchild
said that all the losses from national
bank failures in ISM—the worst year
for them—would have occasioned a. tax
of less than 1-8 of 1 per cent. on the
combined banks. if this proposed meas-
ure had been inforee. Such a tax
would not- be an exceptional burden to
the banks.
Mr. Bush of Anniston, Ala., a mem-
ber of the Monetary Commission, was
next heard. He said it would not be
to the credit of any party in power to
check this movement for currency re-
form, or to fail to embrace the oppor-
tunity to execute it. There were some
who were so bound up in the tariff that
they wiSbed to convince the country
‘tlfat the tariff wouid accomplish every-
thing. But the tariff would not cure
the vital evils/cf currency. It was as
important :for members of Congress to
~meet .t'hese evils as to furnish battle-
ships and cruisers as a preparation for
emergency. ,
At the close of Mr. Bush’s statement
the committee adjourned until to-day,
When the hearing will be resumed.
Mrs. Mchsker Faints When She Hears

Camden, N. J., Jan. 13.——Mrs. Flor-
ence McCusker has been declared an
innocent woman.
terday afternoon she was acquitted of
the charge of killing her husband. The
verdict was applauded<by the specta-
tors.
During all the trial she maintained a
hopeful and comparatively composed
demeanor, and even when the jury,
which held her fate in its hands, filed
into the courtroom with their verdict,
she stood up and faced it bravely.
But when the foreman pronounced
the words “We find the defendant not
guilty." Mrs..}.icCusker broke down.
Throwing up her hands, she cried
out: “Thank Cod? i knew I would
not suffer." Then she burst into tears
and fell fainting- into the arms of her
mother. She was carried into the
Judge's room. where her mother at-
tended her. and she was soon able to
go home.
Michael MeCusker was shot by his
wife, Florence. at ‘heir flat on Nov. 9

New York, Jan. 13.—A correspondent
'f‘rom ’V‘v’asllington telegl'aplis t..nt the
American squadron at lit-y West has
received orders to sail for Iluvnun. The
Associated Press sends out this dis-
patch:
“The battleship Maine has received
orders to proceed at once to sea, and
she will leave port this morning. 1t
is believed here that the orders are for
llCl' to go to Ilavunu. It was rumored
here last night that two torpedo boats
also will be. ordered to put out to Sea.”
Riots lilost. Serious,
Shortly after midnight reports came
from Washington that the riot in lla-
vana, directed against Americans, was
countrymen and citizens
forced to flee to the Consulate ofliccs
for protection.
All in President’s Hands.
Washington, Jan. 13.—The end is in
sight. Within forty—eight hours, on
present indications, intervention in Cu-
ba will have been forced on the Ad-
ministration. It will be found not un-
prepared. The riotlng in Havana was
'much fiercerthan the censored press
reports indicate.
General Lee got at the cable early,
and reported that the situation was
serious, and that the mob was “getting
even with the Americans" and “down-
ing the United States” as much as it
was striking at the autonomlst policy
» and the reconcentrados. American cit-
zens had to seek refuge in the Consul-
ate.
| ’General Lee‘s prompt military in-
stincts told him that the Consulate
might be in even greater danger than
any other place in Havana, but Gen-
eral Blanco at once threw a heavy cor-
don of Spanish regulars with artillery,
l'and the whole square and adjoining
streets were held. This alarming in-
formation came late.
1 The President did not wish to act
precipitately, but the emergency had to
be met promptly. The. Navy Depart-
ment was notified, and Commodore
Crowninshield, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, at once sent dispatches to
Admiral Bunce, with the White Squad-
ron, to hold every vessel in prompt
readiness, and to Key “’estfor the ves-
sels at that point to be ready to start
for Havana. on signal. but not to land
unless instructed by General Lee.
3 The Key lVest squadron cannot be
assembled before to-night. as they are
hunting filibusters. Not later than to-
morrow they will be inhand. . W'hlle
alone they would be unable to do much
at Havana, and might serve to inflame
the Spanish mob to greater excesses,
they can give a. good account of them-
seves in preparing for the heavier fleet
to follow. The torpedo flotilla has been
notified and can be put. into Key West
for a. dash on Havana bv to-morrow.

‘ PERSONAL INTREPIDITY.
I Bravery of the Duke Cllazles of Bavaria
v in the Face of Great Danger.
! The bravery of battle is surpassed
i in the quality and fibre. of its intrepid-
ity by the courage which faces a con-
flagration or a wreck, because the baf-
‘ tle fervor is 'helped out by patriotism.
Iesprit du corps, and other emoti' rs
which have a distinct place in the sul—
dier‘s heart. The great fire at Pal‘ls,
. and particularly the heroic death there
(of the Duchess d'Alencou. recalls a
ibrave exploit of this lady‘s uncle,
Duke Charles of Bavaria, many years
ago.
It was in 1823. and some sort of ex-
ceptional representation at the Resi-
denz Theater at Munich had attracted
a large and brilliant audience. Duke
Charles was seated in the royal box.
Suddenly an attendant rushed in and
whispered excitedly:
“Your Highness, the theatre is on
fire! Make your escape before the
panic breaks out.”
This alarming announcement did
not cause a change of expression on
the prince‘s face. First satisfying
himself by a word of inquiry that the
stage was really on fire, the prince
rose, stepped calmly to the front of
the box and said to the audience:
“I am informed that a fire has brok-
en out on the stage. There is time
enough for you all to get out before
the danger becomes imminent; the
only thing that you have to fear is a.
panic. I urge you, therefore, to quit
the hall in the most perfect order, and
I give you my word that if you do so
you will all escape. To prove that I
mean what I say, I shall now sit down
and shall not leave my seat until the
last one of the audience is out of the
house.” ‘
Duke Charles then sat down as un«
moved as if the performance was to
proceed. The sight of his calmness
reassured the audience, and the people
moved deliberately out in an orderly
manner; the flames burst through the
curtain to the proscenium; the people
looked at Duke Charles, who still sat
imperturbably in his place; no one
could make a cowardly rush in the face
of such an example. '
In ten minutes the house was en-
tirely emptied, no one being hurt;
Duke Charles was the last to .go out.
In another instant, the interior was
all on fire and the house was com-
pletely destroyed—Youths Compan-

NEVER SEES MONEY.
Yet a Business is Carried on Running Up
to Many Thousands of Dollars.
At Indian Point, Siberia, the prin-
cipal trader, Koharri, does a business
of $100,000 a year and never sees a.
coin. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, agent of
the Bureau of Education for Alaska,
found him and says of him: “He has
a. little frame Whale house filled from
floor to ceiling with tobacco, flour and
looking glasses, which he has obtained
from the Whalers and from which he
supplies the country for hundreds of
miles around. This man has been
known to have as much as $75,000
worth of whalebone in his store at
one time. He does a business of prob-
ably $100,000 a. year, and yet not a.
single coin of gold or silver nor a
single bank note or bank check is
used nor are any books kept. All trans—
actions are by barter, furs and whale-
bone being exchanged for tobacco,
flour and whiskey. This wholesale
