A representative of Ths Ribald called
member of the Board of Trustees of

terday afternoon, and was Informed by b
that there would be a change In the loca
tion of the congregation's place of worship,
or that the present building would be sold,
and another purchased in another esetton of
the city more centrally located than Dela
ware avenue and West streets. He stated
that the foil debt of the church, floating,
bonded, end everything that could be
brought against It was only about 985,000,
a great deal of this is In the building loans,
ami 914,000 of it will betaksn this year,
which will only leave tho church with a
debt of 911,000. As soon as this Is con
sumated the church building will be put up
for sale, and it Is supposed that it will
command about fifty thousand dollars.
With this money the new church, whlph It
is proposed to construct after the form of a
tabernacle like that used by Moody and
8ankey,ln Philadelphia, will be commenced.
The gentleman who furnished the Informa
tion stated that It would be the aim of the
Board of Trustees to secure a Jot In the
neighborhood of Market street, somewhere
about Fifth or Sixth'streets. The taberna
cle will be free to all, end Mr. Haldeman

S irsons and a membership of one thousand.

Repentance," also baptism.

The Preehed Mode Straight.
It will be remembered by the readers of
T*te Herald that abont the first, of this
month it exposed certain crooked matters
that were transpiring upon the Kent Coun
ty Railroad, whereby the muil.bags were
stuffed and the revenues of the company
in this way increased. Since then the
Cbestertown correspondent Informs us that
matters are a great deal strafghter, aud tho
dose of The Herald must have acted as a
powerful emetic, for the mall-bags have
been reduced wonderfully In avoirdupois.
Tbe public documents have stopped coming,
