The State or Affairs in New. Il.
Reeds Tabernacle.

According to the order Of the
Chancellor, Sheriff Athy went to the
Colored Baptist Church on Sycamore
street, yesterday, to soc that q
fair election for pastor was held. One
faction was in favor of deposiag Par
son r. Reed, the voudoo candidate,
who has presided for fifteen years, and
the other wanted Brother Garrett,
who chisels out the gospel in solid
chunks. The female portion were all
in favor of the Reverend Mr.. Reed,
while the male portion were partial
to Brother Garrett. Some time since
when an election for pastor was held,
a row occurred, and elders Kirby
and Campbell became unwilling can
didates for Jail. They were tried be
fore Esquire Quigley who fined Camp
bell some s. and costs amounting in
all to Sl8.
As stated one faction petitioned the
Chancery Court for protection against
the other, and Sheriff Athy was or
dered to preside.
A vote was first taken as to whether
an election should be held or not, a
majority Of ten voting in the afirma-
tive. AT this juncture a gentlemanly
oolored member arose and appealed to
them as good Christians and Baptisti
to settle this thing without the aid Of
the law. Loud groans we're heard or
every side and those who came to see
an election knew the jig was up and
left the place. No election was held
and the congregation is still hanging
on the ragged edge Of uncertainty.

n CONVICT Hhte.
The Police Court this morning was
enliyened by the history Of the latest
exploit Of j. L. Rothrock, formerly a
convict guard. He has held several
positions OF the kind in the State, but
lost them one after another. One Of
his exploits was to shoot a convict on
Presidents Island, for which he was
tried and convicted. How he finally
got clear of the meshes Of the laws
net is not definitely known, but for
some time he has been roaming about,
a prey on his former friends. Satur-
day night Rothrock went into the
stable opposite the courthouse, where
j. B. Summers, syoung man from the
country, lay in a drunken stupor, and
laid down by his side. A few mo-
ments after a witness saw Rothrock
put his hand on Summers pocket and
heard the clink of money. 1t was
dark, however, and he could not sec.
A few moments after ROthrock and a
man named Gossett, who hts been
tried for larceny, aad who sat on the
other side Of Summers, got up and
walked out. ROthrock was arrested
later, and this morning bound over.
Another witness says he saw Gossett
and the young stranger walk in the
stable FIRST, and the former piled him
with whisky until be fell into q
drunken stupor, and hat Rothrock
entered and laid down by him a few
moments after.

rid, however, and variouspersons who
filled bath tubs were compelled 10

that sewer gas and dirt 10 the pipes,

cause Of the loud smell. 1t would be
