TIE LAST THING OF NOTE
that transpired before the adjournment
which was only carried becsuse the neceS
sify OF going home some time could not ~
roni,oyer,ed, was the announcement bl
MIR. Mccarthy that he would preach IN tht
church every evening during the week, anc
she reioiuder by one Of the deacons:
.'No you won't!"
The misunderstanding as to who had con
nuered began right there. Feeling the husb

Mr.. Mccarthy sent the words clashinS ou'
into the air 10 he somewhat blunted bycoh'
tact with the deacon's shield.
In the midst OF Yes we wills -" and No
vou wonts" the Christian assembly dis
jointed itself.
THE pEAooHs GATHERED TO CONSIDER
The announcement Of meetings, and after a
brief session decided TO close the house for
the week. giving up the Wednesday evening
prayer-meetipg and all. That there would
be no services they announced to such as
were still present, and then went home to
happy dreams, it may be.
When the deacoDs of the Union Park
Baptist had slept off the dissipation Of the
previous hight, and had their Nightmares
driven away ny new day, they CHANGED to
be In the mood for consultation, and man.
aged to talk over matters and things with
one another before lunch-time. There was
no one regular meeting in an appointed
place, but dozen irregular coniabs all
around. The result was just as unanimous.
A committee was appointed to do the pre-
Ininsry work for the converting of
i COCESlL TO Tx hHs MCCARTHY
on the charges which another committee was
TO put in shape, while third committee was
to circulate call for the council among the
church-members and get as many names as
possible signed to 1t.

were not yet quite in order, though pretty
nearly made out. They will be voluminouS
enough, and will cast considerable shadow
upon Mr.. HcCartby's reputation and cilarac.
ter till they are removed. They will
brand him as q liar, u hypocrite, de.
famer Of character, threatener OF life, an
obscene talker, and most immoral and UNI |
priDcipled man. They will / e as strong as
language can make them, and the deacons
expect, OF course, to prove them beyond a |
question. They say that Mr.. Mccarthy has |
demanded charges without ccasing. Now |
he shall have them, ard enough of them. 1t
Is hoped, however, that the council will be
able to avoid entering into the perusal of
the darkest pages by finding the other so |
inevitable. This is one side of il. Mr.
Mccarthy would doubtless refuse to have
anything concealed. If he has done any
thing, he says he wants to know it.
The council will be held
ON FRIDAY Ar IERSOOS, /
in the Union Park Baptist church, unless |
there arises some unforeseen circumst ance to |
prevent. The associations comprise the |
chulcbes at Elgin, Aurora, st. Charles, Oak |
Park, Evanston, snd the suburban towns |
generally.
While the dcacons were holding their ses-
sion there was something of
SCENE
in the immediate vicinity Of the church edi- |
flee on the corner of Paulna and Washing- |
ton streets. Shortly after 7 O'clock u con-
siderable crowd, Of the most mixed charac- |
ter. took possession of three points on the
sideWalk-at the front and side Of the |
church aud on the corner opposite. There |
were few members Of the society, and |
many who were not. Boys whistIed as they |
do to encore variety "slar"; men TUNED |,
because somebody didn't come to break in |
the church doors, and women shivered as
they huddled about the solitary street-lamp |
for warmth. The expressions of opinion |
were as varied as the mass was motley, the |
only feature being an entire absence of rel- |
gious feeling. There was much bitterness,
some wonder, much curiosity, traces Of con-
tempt, and loud talking of what :" do"
Mr.. MCCARTHY
spsconced himself in the house of Mr.. Burtis, |
on19 6its the church. From the front win |
Snws he ?6esk frequent observations. He was
bSJ.W Beach, Esq, his law
yer. who came to take legal view of tie |
matter: Two trustees (Messrs. Bingham and |
Burtis) were Mt hand. The latter escaped |
active participation by retiring with some |
sort of iudis position. Mr.. Bingham formed
himself into the attacking party. He pro-
eeeded TO the church door with caution, |
having been Informed by some "Washing-
tonian " boys that they had seen body of |
armed men inside. His raps were responded |
to by
THE SOLITARY SEXTON,
who was within, and who said he must beg
TO be excused, but be really could not admit
the parties. Mr. Bingham made his plea
"in the name Of the trustees" which the
lawyer deemed sufficiently strong; but the
sexton still said nay, and the church re-
manned closed. 1t was cold out In the air,
and the crowd was getting impatient. Ru-
mors had been set a6oat that Mr. Mccarthy
would enter the church, if needs be, over
BROKEN DOORS AND DEAD DRAGONS
to hold the services he bad announced. But
these were not carried into facts. When il |
became apparent to Mr.. Mccarthy that the |
church was beth locked and barred agai INST
him he yielded his purpose. Going out on |
the porch of MIR. Burlis's house
He SAID:
