SECOND EDITION
A PASTOR SUSTAINED.

HOW A LITTLE TROUBLE IN THE
CHURCH OF THE COVENANT WAS
SETTLED.
In the Reformed Episcopal Church of
the Covenant,for some time past, trouble
has been brewing, but it eliminated,
last night, in church meeting which
settled matters so amicably that the op-
posing element will have to either settle
down or leave the church.
The cause of the trouble 1t is not nec-
essary to make public, but it grew to
such proportions that the opposing ele-
ment demanded of Bishop Nicholson
the removal of the pastor, Rev. j. L.
Estlin, This Bishop Nicholson refused
to do, for the reason that the parish had
called the pastor and only their action
could remove him. But he agreed to
investigate the trouble and then call
church meeting for thorough settle
ment.
This meeting was held last night, but
, only one member. of the opposing ele-
ment was present and he occupied q
back seat and took no part in the pro-
ceedings. Bishop Nicholson made an
address reviewing the case, and in con-
Guiding he requested ballot vote of the
congregation, all in favor of retaining
and sustaining the pastor to vote "yes"
and those opposed "no." There were
fifty one present, and count of the
ballots showed forty-nine in the affirma-
tive and net one in the negative. Thus
was the pastor strongly sustained.
Treasurer Frank Mason then brought
up other matters for consideration and
read financial report, showing an in
debtedness OF about $3.50. Bishop
Nicholson suggested that this amount
be raised right quickly and started the
work by contributing twenty-five dollars.
Other contributions quickly followed
and over two hundred dollars were soon
subscribed.
When the meeting closed the congre-
CATION proceeded in body to the resi-
dence of the pastor, Rev. j. L. Estlin,
No. 629 W. Third street. He was not
then at home, but he soon arrived, and
as he entered the congregation united
in singing "Praise God from whom all
blessings fow." Pastor Estlin was
greatly surprised, as we'll as delighted,
by this unexpected invasion of his home
and the thorough expressions by sympa-
thy that passed between people and pas
tor were pleasing to all. Before depart
ing they all united in singing "Praise
God from whom all blessings fow."

His daughter has for some time past
been in the habit OF attending church
with young lady naued Barton, who
resides next door TO Mr.. Davidson.
Last evening Miss Barton sent for the
little girl to come into her home for the
purpose of going to church. When the
little girl went in, Guthrie, whom it ap-
pears has been paying attention to Miss
Barton, was sitting in the room.
Mrs. Barton aud her daughter went
up stairs for the purpose of preparing
for church, leaving Guthrie and the
child together in the room. The child
left the room for the purpose of going
out into The yAld to get a drink, and as
she was returning and was about enter
ing the door, he lecherous wretch caught
hold of her, and proceeded 10 satisfy
| his lustful desires.
The child began TO cry, and 10 order
to pacify her he rave her ten cent
piece to keep quiet and say nothing
about what bad TIA spired.
The ladies who had gone up stails,r re-
turning, found the child in tears, and
demanded TO know what was the mat
ter. Their request was met with fresh
burst of tears, aid finding she would say
nothing, they took her up stairs, and
then she related what hal transpired.
| The ladies made an examination and
found her underclothing torn, and marks
of violence about her person. Miss
Barton thereupon called upon Mrs
| Davidson and Informed her of what hae

house, and while they were up stair
talking over the matter Guthrie remain

being said. When charged with the
crime by the girls's mother he at frs
offered to pay her 500 to say nothing
about the affair, but she refused, ant
then he offered ner p0UU, WHICH oher sh'
also indignantly refused to accept, an'
left the house.
Mrs. Davidson then took the child tt
the residence of Sergeant Jones, and in
formed him Of what had transpired. 4
warrant was issued for Guthrie's arrest
and the Sergeant, accompanied by po
liceman Thomas, started to hunt th
wretch.
They found him on Spruce street
