ACHTRCH TROU BLE-T1s Pastor Locked Out
Yesterday morning. about II O'Clock, the First
Reformed Germany Church. at the corner OF
tth and y streets northwest, was the scene of
considerable excitement. IL appears that the
church was purchased by a German congrega-
ton about four years ago. The synod of Baiti-
more furnished a portion OF the purchase money,
and held the church under their charge. Diff
ferent pastors haze been in charge of the con-
EregatiOn during this time, and in Nav, Is7 j.,
Rev. Robert Reitzel was designated by the synod
IN Baltimore as the minister for one year. He
was daily installed. and for some time everything
Vas harmonious, but recently trouble has arisen
andehargeso OF certain irregularities having been
IA ade against the pastor, about two months ago,
he was called before the consistOry and warned
against the course he was pursuing. This did
not appear TO have the desired effect, for he was
again called before them, this time a por ion of
the church from Baltimore being present and a
second warning was administered. Last week
comp amt was made 10 the classes in Baltimore
body TO whom all charges referred. The
complainaHts were heard, the cOnsistOry sus-
talred IN their action. and the clergyman sls-
pended from exercising the functions of his
ONCE as minister o. the Gospel until the 26tIi
OF the present month, when the classes would
have session and the trial take place Since
his suspension the minister has called several
meetings OF the congregation At meeting
held on last Friday night, he and those taking
Lis view of the question declared themselves
independent and distinct OF Ike synod OF Bal
tmOre, and proceeded to elect new trustees
and cOnSistOry-the minister stating that
lie expected he would he thrown over b.
the classes, but urged his friends to stand
Nv him and retain possession OF the church.
The classes had then delegated minister 20
come to this city and preach on Sunday iyester-
day. On Saturday morning Messrs. SeIlhau-
sen and Ewaid, two of the trustees, went to the
seNtcn end demanded the KEYS of the church .
which be refused 10 deliver up, stating that he
did not regard them as the party entitled to give
any directions concerning the church. Failing
there, they next proceeded TO the residence OF
MI keitZel and showed TO him written protest
against has attempting TO preach, and warning
him against creating any disturbance in the
church dU-ing the service hours on SUNDAY
After looking at the protest he cast IL aside and
smihngly said that he did no, recognize the Bal
tiIEOrc classes, and that be would hold service
in the church anyhow, and remarked TO the two
trustees that tnev did not belong TO the cOnSis-
tory, as on next Thursday they would have Al.
new me mbers- The two trustees returned to
the church and had the old lock replaced bv
another, and yesterday morning the CongreEa-
ich gathered but could not enter the building
until II O'Clock, when Mr.. Martin. a sOn-in- law
Of Mr.. ReitZei, effected an entrance through a
window and opened toe door from the inside.
lie congregation tEerSuTOn entered and the
religious services were held TO the close without
interruption. Tie police were impOrtuned 10
interfere TO keep the congregation from enter

Keep the peace they declined 70 interfere.
