NEW YORK, July ZZ.-CuulCu ClTC4cs az
Woodhayen, l.. L., are again painfully re-
minded Of the recent scandal IN the Con-
gregational Church, by the peculiar con-
duct Of Mr.. Soley, the husband Of Mrs,
Solely who was recently expelled from
church membership. On Sunday Mr..
SOllcy renewed the scandal by visiting
the church and acting in a boisterous
manner. The service commenced in the
handsome little Congregational Church
about half past ten O'Clock, Half an
hour prior to that time Jas. Solley, the
husband Of the secretary Of "Dayid's
Band" arrived at the church, and
said he would like to see
Dominic James. Mr. J. Prall, usher Of
the church and Que OF the leading mem
bers, informed Mr.. Soley that the Domi-
ME had not yet arrived, and asked:
"What do you want TO see Mr., James
SorE"
II want to give the old -- a licking
His church has ruined my family and Pm
ID if don't have satisfaction
Solley was about to lick deacon Prall in
the absence of the Dominic, but the con-
gregation intcricTcd and the deacon was
saved.
Mr. Solley then took stand in front Of
the church door, and forbade the congre-
CATION 10 enter the church.
II will be your ruin he said. "lt's
worse than he'll Dominic James and
the church members are all hypocritcs."
Just then Dominic James and his wife
came up the hill, and as SolIcy saw them
be shouted;
"Hcre comes the grey-headed old SIN
u-r"
Mr., James approached him, and Deacon
Prall cautioned the Dominic to keep
away.
"Solley 10 crazy drunk"
"Why don't you send for Constable
Abrams and have him arrestcd!n meckly
replied the venerable Dominic.
"You and Sam Abrams can 20 to h-l,n
quickly responded Solley. "Sam Abrams
won't arrest me, and am God-fearing
man, but you are a lot OF >coundrels, and
III stand in front OF this church every
Sunday until break it up. You -"
Mr.. PrAll sent messenger for the
deputy Sheriff, but before his arrival Mr..
SOlley had returned to his home. He
kept quiet during the day, and went to
his work as usually yesterday morning.
When spoken TO by reporter he said;
~ have nothing to say about the af-
fair am attending TO my carpenter
work
Dominic James said 81 was never
more astonished in my life than when |
heard So!ley depOunce the congregation.
The church has been very kind to Solley
and his family Last Easter Mrs. Solely
was arrested in Hoboken, charged with
stealing money from her husband, and
got her out. We then made her seCre-
tary of our temperance society," as she
had promised to reform; but she deceived
US She was the daughter of Il Baptist
clergyman, highly accomplished, and
would deceive any congregation. We shall
not have SOlIey arrested on account of his
children, but if he interieres again we
shall certainly have him punished. don't
know that he was drunk, but he certainly
acted like Il man that was either drunk or
crazy
Mr.. Prall well-to.do carpenter of tho
village, corroboratcd Dominic James
statement, and added that he had
noticed the intimacy between Rodet
and Mrs. Solley some weeks ago.
"My attention was first attracted by
seeing Mrs. SOley sitting on Rodet's
lap during service. We all knew they
were close friends, but we had no posi-
tive proof, so the church took no action
in the matter. Solely mustn't come
round the church blaming US for his
wife clipping, or he'll get himself into
trouble. There has been no word from
Rodet or Mrs. Solley since they disap-
peared week ago, but the impression is
general that they have gone together,
and the Congregational Church is glad to
get rid of them"
