OF ILLEGAL VOTING END IN
A special, on Monday, from rittsburg'
Pa, says: "The people of this CITY a'e IN
fever of excitement to-day, owing 70 a
fsticuff fight which took place in the FIRST
Reformed Presbyterian Church last nlent.
Some weeks ago the congregation voteo
for pastor, the Rev. Nevin Woodside re-
ceivlng 127 votes, against 1l6 Tor other
candidates. A majority OF the trustees
were bitterly opposed to Mr.. Woodslde'
and charged that his selection was the re-
suit of illegal votes. The majority 01 tiie
congregation were determined that WOOD
side should be their pastor, especially az
the call was sustained by tie Piesbytery.
An appeal was taken to me synou' snu
since then there have been bitter quarrels
among the members of the church. Inc
Woodside faction triumphed over tneli
enemies. and on one OCCASION, nOtwlCh-
standing the existence Of All injunction
r. straiuing WOodside from pr aching IN
til the appeal was decided, gained adm!s-
son to the church by strategy, held tnv
place all day, and listened To sermon oy

Last night the quarrel eliminated III
free fight. There were rumOrS during the
day that serious trouble Was brewing
Both factions were present III full fOrce,
and there was large attendance OF out
sders, attracted by the prospect VI row.
The trouble began early. Wuods d. want
ed to preach, but his opponents had anoti'-
er clergyman, whom they wished to preach:
Both parsons waxed hot, and the excited
spectators gave vent to their feelings ID
remarks designed to encourage their IA
vorlte. The trustees aid Sunday school
teachers took sides. and shouted exc!teuly.
Que of the parsons essayed to mount the
rostrum. He was seized by antaR onists
and roughly hustled from the steps. TAls
led to y general fight. 1t was thickest
round the altar, but all over the church
were heard the sound Of blows. Many OF
the women screamed and tainted, out
some of the stronger minded encouraged
the combatants with cheers. Two or
three females, it is said, took advantage
of the confusion to settle old scores among
themselves. For quarter of an hour the
battle ragged furi0usly. Heads were punch.
ed, eyes were blackened, arms broken, and
women knocked down. The yells and
screams were frightful. The police were
called in, and after some difficulty. sue
ceeded in Que!ling the riot. Several ar
rests were made.
The church this morning presented a
sorry appearance. Pews were broken: the
remnants of gas globes strew the floor,
hymn books and bibles were scattered iii
all directions, as if they had been used as
missiles, and large quantity of halr-pins
aud bangs have been gathered up. The
utmost Indignation prevails in church cir
cles. The matter will be investigated by
the presbytery. and it is expected that
there will be some clerical suspensions
The rival pastors were in the thickest Of
the fray"
