There is trouble in the Orange M. E.
Church trouble of the sort our English
friends call nasty" 1t couldn't be much
worse If it had occurred in an association
of every day brethren, instead of an assem-
blage of seventh day Christians. The
facts are these: A short time ago the
brethren and sisters determined TO hold a
fair. When the show opened, the director
of the choir presented the ladies with a
basket of wax flowers. 1t was decided
that the flowers should be balloted for at
five cents chance, the lady who received
majority of the ballots to become the
owner of the prize. A young woman
named Addie Wildey was appointed Judge
-or Judgess-of election. 70 make the
matter more interesting, she was herself
one of the candidates, her opponent being
married lady named Mrs. George Sweet,
When Miss Wildey counted the votes. che
officially declared herself elected, she bay'
ing received lOS votes to Mrs. Sweets AZ,
there beiag AZ scattering" Tor scattered]
votes. Mrs. Sweets friends at once
charged that there mad been fraud. II
wasn't exactly the baiiot-box stuinng OF
the wicked political world, but cheating
alleged, had not been counted. They
claimed that one man had cast 100 votes
for her, while party of six had given her
SO votes. Miss Wildey's tally showed a
total of only 1877 votes for all the candi-
dates. Of course this has made Miss
Wildey's friends very angry, because, as
will be seen, it is an implied charge of
theft; for if she did not count the votes,
of course she must have pocketed the
money. The young lady Indignantly denied
that she perpeIrated any fraud, and no one
who knows her believes that she did. Her
father is particularly indignant, and says
he will make the persons who have brought
this charge against his daughter eat their
words or choke-for which we do not
blame him. We should feel that way our
selves under similar circumstances. Alto
gether, the affair has brought scandal
upon the church which every one viii
regret, even though they may not be
church members.

The immortal Daniel o'Leary ana the
equally imperlshaDie Edward fayson
Weston are making Newark lnsuneraDly
tired over an alleged walking mafch. 1t
is heel-and-toe match put Is pelng
walked in very go-as you-piease sort OF
way. These so-cailed pedestrians propose
TO do twenty-five hundred miles apiece
though they bad much better DIVIDE the
distance between them, ana Newark IS
expected to go In. ecstacfeS oF'er the dis
play. To prolong the agony the men are
walking in twelve-hour stretches and
when one gets too far ahead he sits down
and takes rest while his opponent catches
up to him or even puts himself little
ahead. This reminds one OF the famous
walking matches the late lamented Michael
Robert Free Parriott used to do in this
city some years ago. Micky" had
miles in q thousand hours and finishing
the job without turning a nair. MI ckey
