New YORK, March 4.-The Trustees OF
| DR.. Newman's church held a stormy meet
| ing last plight. The first sign of trouble
| showed itself when Hopkins, after fruit
| lessly e~ndeavoring to offer a resolution to
| appoint some ushers, remarked that the
| bloody flag seemed to have been hung out,
and that everybody was spelling for q row.
II was then announced that the church
| owed "a. 900 on q note due April l, but
| that there was no money in the treasury to
meet it, after paying DR.. Newmsn's salary.
Hopkins proposed that the receipts be de-
voted to pay the debt and the remainder
paid to Newman in lieu Of his salary.
Trustee Corley said that such a remark
could only come from a "Ranneyite," to
which Hopkins retorted by calling Corley
q tramp and an idiot, who didn't know
any better than to use such language.
| Corley replied in the same entertaining
| manner, and for q few minutes it was
| thought the meeting would have to adjourn
to the sidewalk to figh. ii out, but peace
was finally restored without recourse to
| violence. No further business of import
ance was transacted. and the Board ad-
journed after informing the Secretary not
to let the books of the church to any per-
son without permission of the Trustees.
