Quarrel Over a Grave,


Yesterday, rather curious affair took
place at Uniontown, in this District, being
dlfhculty between two cliQues of colOrel
men, both claiming to belong to, and to pos,
sess equal rights in the property and
appurteDances of the Macedonian Baptist
Church, situated on Sheridan avenue in
that portion of the District. 1t appears
that there has been diSaffectiOn for some
Time past among the membership Originat-
Ing about some affair of scandal. and that a
portion OF the members seeded from the
church and set up worship on their own ac-
count In various private houses thereabOut.
a DAY or two ago member of the Mace
DOMAIN BAPTIST Church belonging TO the Sc
ceding clique and the friends of a decreased
Individual made preparation for a burial,
the digging OF grave in the cemetery of that
church, being one of the preliminaries. The
funeral was set for yesterday and the mourn
ers and friends on arriving at the grave yard
win The corpse were forbidden entrance
and warned of by the opposition clique
on the ground that they We're seceders
from the church, and had therefore forfeited
all rights TO the church cemetery. The party
proceeded on, and arriving at the grave
found that IL had been filled up, and a
wTangle ensued. The party who had filled
up the grave, suppOSing they had stopped all
proceedings started off to obtain a warrant
against the alleged trespassers. and while
they were absent the managers of the funeral
entered the cemetery. and reopening the
grave, buried the corpse and dispersed. War
rants were returned TO the Police Court this
morning, issued by Justice j. a. TAFT, copied
by Officer Arnold; one sworn out by James
Howard aud Jordan Thompson, charging
Kellus Mathews and William Anderson with
having opened grave in the Macedonian
Cemetery without a proper permit from the
proper authorities; and the other sworn TO
by VIM. Anderson and Kellus Mathews,
charging James Howard, Charles Robinson
and George Wear with having filled up a
grave dug for member of the Macedonian
Baptist Church, which grave was dug by the
ORDER OF the trustees of said church. After
reviewing the warrants and the whole facts
IN the ease, nOlte prOSefHi was entered by
Mr.. Fisher.
