THE HARLEM CHURCH WAR.

The Council Ycsterday-NO Action Taken
and the Affair as Great q MIDDLE as
Ever.
In response to a call issued by an &c pdrte coun-
Gil Of the members Of the Harlem First Baptist
church there assembled yesterday afternoon, in
the lecture room Of st. James Methodist Episcopal
church, 12eth street and Madison avenue, q large
number OF the clergy and laity Of the Baptist pro-
ssiOn for the purpose Of investigating the charges
against Elijah Lucas, the pastor Of the First Bap-
fist church. The germ Of this disturbance had
been planted some three years ago, but not until
lately has it assumed a tangible shape, nor has it
really arrived at that perfection yet which
would enable one clearly to comprehend
Its fine points, The supporters Of Mr. Lucas sim
cerely desire that nothing shall be said In the pa.
pers relative to the charges; while on the other
hand large party of the congregation, together
with few OF the suspended members, seem most
anxious to have the case publicly ventilated
From all that can be learned 1t appears that some
years ago there sprung up mutual and intuitive
dislike between Mr.. Lucas and part of the congre-
pronounced. Mr.. Lucas, who Is moderator in all
church meetings and councils, took no pains to
i aa ss NE w S e a
jority in the church council, excommunca.
ted or suspended some Of the members
Burr and William B. Austin. These gentlemen
together with ninety church members, called an &c
pCIE COunCil, dt WiiCn tley resolved TO Try ana
bring about mutual council and have hearing as
to why they were suspended. They sent request
to Mr. Lucas to do this, but they declare he never
took any action in the matter. This Mr. Lucas
stoutly Denies and declares that he is prepared to
prove that the names OF the ninety parties before
spoken Of were fraudulently obtained as SAID par
ties told him they never gave their consent to an
par,e council To this Mr.. Smith, one of the dis
affected, replies that he has certificate in which
all of the ninety declare that they knew what they
were doing wnen they signed In favor OF calling an
&c parte council. And thus the thing stands and
most likely will stand for some time II yesterdays
proceedings be taken as sample of what will be
done in the future.
At the meeting yesterday there were twenty-fou
churches represented, and the majority of the rep
resentatives seemed predisposed to support Mr..
Lucas although they had heard nothing of the
case, by way Of maintaining the professional dig
nifty. The whole OF yesterday afternoon was
wasted In world Of technical small talk, there
being no evident desire on the part Of any one ex-
cept the disafrected to come 10 any definite con-
cuson. Several times the meeting had to be called
to order as when anything favorable to the eX-
communicated was said the laity applauded very
loudly.
motion to adjourn subject to the call Of the
Chair, was made, seconded and carried, and the
council adjourned leaving the Harlem church
war; as tangled as ever.

Four-Oared Boat Race ON the Harlem

Four-Oared Boat Race ON the Harlem
Rivcr-Thc Sappho Wins.
The Sappho and Dauntless Boat Clubs are youth
full organizations whose boat houses are on the
Harlem River. Each having made up a champion
four-oared crew was DESTROYS that 1t should gain
name for its club but each reluctant to pit it's
crew against one much more experienced. 1t be-
came necessary, therefore, that the crews should
engage each other, and an agreement was accord
ingy made by the clubs for race on the straight
three-mte course between the powder schooner"
and Morris dock. Yesterday, the day appointed
for the contest, it seemed, owing to the rain
until late In the afternoon, that there was
no likelihood that the strife would occur.
summoned to the race the members OF
the clubs and their friends, for whose accommOda-
been provided. After much unnecessary delay
quarter to SIX P NJ. were given the signal to start
forty strokes minute, but the Dauntless seeming
to take the stronger hold OF the water The Daunt-
place, while the Sappho crew went along semi
circle and thus going longer distance gave It's
lead OF ABOUT oaT lengs crews s r
some time the sappho's endeavorng to
lessen it, while the Dauntless, though pulling the
firmer Of the two crews, was unable to increase
it by reason Of the devious course its steersman
was compelling 1t to take. When near High Bridge,
u
boat from Its proper allowed the Sapphos to
better their position: Encouraged by this fortu,
nate circumstance they spurted vigorously, and
finally, when about an eighth OF mile above
High Bridge, brought their boat even with that OF
their opponents. Just here the Dauntless crew
suddenly hung on their oars and allowed their ad-
versaries to 60 to the end Of the course without
contest. The Dauntless' crew explained their
strange cessation Of rowing when the contest had
become most severe by saying that their stroke
oarsman had mistaken the report Of q cannon
discharged on the dock as salute for the signal

the race The stroke, they said did not know the
location Of Norris dock, and therefore, was easily
deceived Having ceased rowing their opponents
had got 80 far beyond them ere they discovered
their error that there was no possibility for them
to succeed had they recommended to row. The
time OF the winning crew, the sappho, was 2lm.

was thirty strokes, while that OF the Daunt-
less was thirty.nine. The members Of the crews

TIE SILK ROBBERY AT THE PUBLIC STORE

The Amount Greatly Overrated-The
Outside Value of the Missing Goods
Only o. 200 Currency-A Clue Already
Obtained Toward their Recovery.
The robbery Of cases from the Public store
Buildings, on New Church street, particulars as TO
which were published yesterday In the HERALD has
been found not to be extensive as then believed.
A HERALD representative had an interview
with the Custom House officials In regard to
the matter, and from them he learned that the
actual amount at which the missing six cases OF
silk goods are valued will not reach more than
seven thousand dollars In currency. AS near can
be ascertained the missing cases, after being ex-
amined in the Third Division OF the Appraisers
department, on the 18th inst, between one and
half-past one O'Clock p. NJ, were sent
from the examination room TO the elevator,
thus going virtually out OF the hands
OF the appraiser into those OF the labor contractor
after which all trace had disappeared until the
goods were called for. The clerks having charge OF
the delivery door were suspended pending an ex-
animation but may be innocent OF any connection
with the mysterious disappearance General Ar
