This was motion TO set aside judgement rendered
against the defendants for moneys advanced by Corne
hus Berrisn for these defendants amounting to about
& 500. The motion was made upon the ground that
Cornelius Berian alleged TO be the Presidento of the
corporation not at the time of the service of the
summons and complaint, the President OF the Board
Of Trustees and that therefore the suit not prop
cry commenced. The trustees OF the Church are live
In number, and the plaintiff claims that Cornelius
Beran is the President Of the Board. The arguments
Of counsel threw light upon the history of the
Church. 1t appeared that this Church was originally
composed of part Of those members who in 1870
seceded from the Methodist Episcopal Church because
of the too conservative views Of the latter on the
subiectpf Slavery. They made a code of laws or
discipline nearly resembling that Of the Church from
which they seeded and matters went smoothly until
1853 when the Rev. j. NJ Smith, the then pastor hsv
ing occasion TO use the discipline expelled Mr. Jarvis
from the church, yhereupon IT is alleged Jarvis col
lected together number Of persons, and IN the alb
sence of the Rev Mr.. Smith, went through mock
trial and declared Mr. Smiths ministerial position in
that church vacant appointing another minister to oc-
cupy his place. The Conference in the mean TINE an
pusny appointed Mr.. Smith pastor of this church IN
Ist Street, Mr.. Berrian sustains Mr.. Smith. The
plaintiff alleges that Jarvis by violent means attempt
ed 10 drive Mr. Smith from the pulpit and at the tlns
appointed for the election of trustees took forcbe
possession Of the church. and drove the voters away
and that being debsred the Of the church by vo
hence they repaired 10 the residence Of Mr. Smith and
there elected their trustees. Ii is also said that JARVIS
and his party since that time have forcib kept pos
session Of the church. and chat when the Jarvis trus-
tees have been sued for the services of the SEXTON
they have successfully defended the suit on the ground
that tiey were not the trustees.
The counsel for the defendant argued that the Jar

BURNING OF A RAILROAD BRIDGE.-The New Jer-
sey Central Railroad bridge across the Musconetcong
creek at Bloomsbury, Easton was destroyed by
FIRE on Saturday night last. II will require two weeks
time to replace the bridge Meantime passengers will
be transferred across the break with delay of only
about twenty minutes and freight will also be trans
fened without delay. No coal, however, will be trans
ported until the bridge has been rebuilt.
This circumstance viii not interfere with the business
of the Delaware, Lsckawana and Western Railroad,
o. the burned bridge was above the junction.
