The African Church Trouble Again
--SOme ugly Talk.
A meeting of the trustees of the Second
African NJ. E. church was called for last
night to consider matters of importance,
but up to late hour but three persons had
assembled-two ladies and one gentleman.
Since the trouble between the Rev. E. Q.
Pummer, the pastor, and M. W. Lewis oc-
CURED, when it is alleged that Lewis en-
deavored to fill the reverend gentlemen full
of bullets, things have not run as smoothly as
desirable, it is alleged, and it is further limited
that the meeting was called last eve
ming for the purpose OF requesting
Mr. Plummer to collect no more money
for the church. Be this as it may, it is
claimed by a member of the church that the
white gentlemen who have been backing Mr..
Plummer have Withdrawn their support, and
are anxious that he should paddle his own
canoe.'
of Mr.. and Mrs. Plummer have not been pleas
ant and the gossips of the church have rolled
many choice morsel of gossip under their
tongues in discussing the matter Said one
OF the brethren, last evening:
'sYou see, in his official capacity, Mr.. Plum
mer has to visit many places, and these visits
have been looked upon with suspicion
by Mrs. Piummer. Some evenings ago,
Mr. and Mrs. Plummer left the
church TO 60 home, and upon getting into
street car MI. RUNNER 1OunQ ne naQ only
five cents in his pocket Telling his wife to
vide home, he left the car, and started on the
homeward Journey. After Mrs. Plu1nmer had
gone u block or SO she became suspicious that
her husband had gone to visit a certain
female member of the congregation, and so
left the car and proceeded to her house. Her
husband was not there and after stormy
scene she went home, where she found
her husband waiting for her. He in
his turn became suspicious, and
demanded to know where his wife
had been. She said she was taken
sick and had been obliged to leave the car.
Mutual charges of infdelity followed, and
there has been circus in the family ever
since. guess neither is guilty of half the
other charges, but the whole thing has been
getting very warm, and the trouble recently
eliminated in Mr.. Plummer sending his wife
out Of the city. Just why he did this no one
seems to know, but it is whispered around
that it was owing to 81 fight participated
in by Mr.. Plummer and certain mem
bers of the congregation about whom
the lady had made disparaging remarks
Another member was seen. He said he
knew nothing of Mr.. Plummers trouble and
took no interest in it, But" said he, there
is going to be trouble if Lewis gets off. You
know he shot at Rev. Mr.. Piummer and the
members of the church are determined to get
even. Not so much because they respect Mr..
Plummer as because they do respect the
church. where the shooting was done Now,
there is Il great deal of talk among some to
the effect that if Lewis is not convicted he
and his wife will be mobbed and run out OF
TOWN.
