We learn that the Rev. Jacob Brad
ley's church building Is a joint stock af.
fair. 1t originally cost some forty or fifty
dollars, and the associated means Of three
or four colored brothers paid for it.
Last night question Of ownership
arose between two OF the stockholders,
when one Of them declared that he
would divide the house and make such
disposition of his share as lie might feel
inclined 10. The other stakeholder re-
monstrated. He was clearly OF the opin-
ion that that was no way. to do" and
finally quarrel arose. The dlsputants
became so angry that the suggestion Of
one that they should pass 10 the street
and fight 1t out, was accepted by the 9th.
er, and, sure enough, a fight ensued.
Now Bradley loves peace. The spectacle
presented By the eontending brothers, he
thought shameful; so, in the interest of
peace he appeared at the scene Of con.
fict and Informed the belligerents that
unless they Terminated hostilities he
would pitch in and whip both OF them
There was an appearance Of resolution
about the reverend man that was not to
be misunderstood. The hostile brothers
saw IT. and, handing each other three or
four more very solid jolts, they declared
q truce. DID,. . .r .. ...
This story is brought TO us by an ene-
my OF Bradley, and may be under or
over-drawn. IL may have occurred that
Bradley actually whipped the combat
ants. II this is so, we desire to be ad.
vised Of the act, that he may enjoy the
honors that may grow out OF the publ.
