FINED FOR AN ALLEGED AssAULT.-John
Payne, husband of Margaret Payne, who
charges Rev. Wesley F. Graham, pastor of
the Third Baptist Church (colored), Of this
city, with leading her daughter as,ray,
swore out warrant yesterday against Ora
ham, charging him with assaulting his
(Payne's) wife at the church meeting last
week. 1t will be remembered that tracas
occurred that night between Payue's and
Grahams wives, after which the liege lord
of the latter it is said struck the former,
The warrant was issued by JUS
tice Joseph S. Beach and served by Consta-
BILE J. T. Beach. Graham upon being &C.
costed by the officer yesterday evening gave
bail for his appearance to day, but at hight
the warrant was served on him again just
as he was about to leave his church, when
he once more gave bail for his appearance
to-day. This morning he proceeded to the
magistrates Office, where large crowd had
collected to witness the trial. Several wit
nesses averred that Graham did strike the
woman, while an equal number testified to
the contrary. Justice Beach, however,
judged that the weight Of the evidence was
averse to Graham and fined him SO and
costs. Mr.. S. G. Brent, counsel for Graham,
took an appeal. The case has created much
excitement among colored church goers.
