dispatch states that the rains Friday night and
Saturday were not heavy enough to wet the
forest and underbrush sufficiently, and fires
again broke out Sunday in several places, and
threaten more damage. But little is yeG known
as to the real amount of destruction, as there
are hundreds of isolated settlements and hun
dreds of mills in Pike, Wayne, Sullivan and
Monroe counties, where the fires have been
raging The tract of land on Tayor's Creek,
formerly owned by Horace Greeley and site of
the old Fourierite community, was swept of
everything. All kinds of game have been
driven by the fires on Pocono Range into en-
closures with lame cattle and around the set
Elements. In the region of Lackawanna over
ono hundred miles of forests have been burned,
and it is now feared that the fire will again
gain Roadway as the wood now standing is dry

been burned.

pany be released, if the capture was made out

was made inside, to require promise from
conditions of the treaty of 1869 with the Sioux
Indians, which forbids any trespass on the
parts of whites Until the government gives
permission the Gordon party or any other party
have no more right under the treaty OF 1869
to go to Big Horn than they have to go to the

A CHURCH ROW.
The Rev. Justin ID. Fulton Accused by one
of His DeacOns OF Lying.

New YORK, May PA most extraordinary
scene took place yesterday noon at the Hanson
Place Baptist church, Brooklyn. The pastor,
Mr.. Fulton, in the course of his sermon, de.
MED that he had stated to the Eagle editor that
the members who had requested him to resign
were "a parcel OF little fellows" and at the
conclusion of the sermon requested the church
members to remain. After ejectingea reporter,
Fulton PROCEEDED to make statement, when
he was interrupted by Deacon Young, who said
the pastor was not saying what was true. 9th
ers followed, and at last after a vain attempt
to get the church to vote upon Futon's fitness
to remain as pastor, he proclaimed that the
church had inveigled him away from happy
position in Boston at fremont Temple. The
church adjourned in confusion, amindst an I'M
finished prayer of a member, an exhortation of
another and the applause of some of the young
er members.
The gentleman attached to the Brooklyn Ea-
gle, who had an interview with Fulton Satur-
day says, Fulton did use the term little fell
lows in the most contemptuous manner
against the members who asked him TO resign.
There is no question now but Fulton will be
obliged to resign, as all the deacons and all but
one of the trustees of that church deprecate
his longer occupation of the position of pastor.
