to logan county week ago to inquire

Gov Wilson today and is as follows;
visited all the IIathelds and found
them TO be good law abiding citizens who
have the respect aud confidence Of every
ono in the neighborhood; that while many
deprcdations have been committed and
the whole surrounding country has
been in state Of excitement and tumult
bordering on a genuine young war,
peace has again been restored and the bell

banded and no further trouble Is antici.

affair is the fact that the llaticlds and

seems TO have been caused by parties in
Pike county, Ky, rcsurncling old indict-
mcnts against the llaliclds, which were
found against them five years ago. The

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 3l.--For some
time past trouble has been brewing be-
tween the Rev. John A. Edmondson, pas.
Tor, and the congregation of the Spruce
Street NJ. i. church north. The cloud
gathered gradually, until last Sunday,
when 1t burst forth, and everything now
is in troubled state. The pastor has
been arrested on the charge Of disturbing
public worship. The warrant charging
this was sworn out late yesterday after
noon before Justice Bailey Brown at the
instance Of l.. c. Mills, member Of the
church. That gentleman said today that
dissatisfaction with the pastor had arisen
about two years ago on account OF what
some members considered oilcious
interference in matters Of pri-
yate character, which caused the
withdrawal Of one family from
the church. Some other members Of the
congregation expressed their disapproyal
OF DIR. Edmondson's course, and the
relations between pastor and con
gregation became moro aud more
strained. In consequence OF this
disahection Rev. J. NJ. Carter, presiding
elder, was invited here 10 investigate the
charges made against the pastor. The
prcsit ing elder made inquiries concerning
matters which had been reported To him
aud IL is said learned Of several instances
in which the pastor had been in fierce
personal alterations and was only pre-.
vented from fighting by the efforts oi
friends. Sunday morning Mr.. Carter oc,
cupicd the pulpit and Mr.. Edmondson
occupied seat in the auditorium
Of the church. IL was understood
that he had said ho would moi
take the sacrament at Mr.. Car,cr's
hands. At the conclusion Of the sermon
nm invitation was extended 10 all pastors
present TO come forward aud assist in the
administration Of the Lords Supper Mr..
! Edmondson did not respond, hut at the
conclusion of the service lac went into the
pulpit aud said In loud voice: 81 am
