TO SHOUT HIM OUT.
A Fight Between q Church and John r.
Mclean.


WASHINGTON, D. c., April7.-It begins
to look as though Washington church Or
ganizltion would beat an editor at his own
game. Some months ago John r Mclean,
of the Cincinnati EaqGirer, made an effort
TO purchase the FIT zenith Street Presbyte-
riau church property, this city, but with
out success. The offer was $50, 900 and q
lot on p street. There was division
among the members OF the church on the
offer, and several very stormy meetings
were held. Finally the majority prevailed
against the offer, and Mr.. McLsan WAS no
uhed. This land he desired 10 addition to
the corner lot, upon which he intend
ed 10 erect hotel. He pro-
eeeded 10 build, however, on the corner
lot and also claimed and occupied four feet
of the lot held by the church. For some
cause no legal proceedings were taken by
the church and he continues to construct q
high wall almost touching that of the
church, completely shutting ont oil light,
causing the church to use gas during
the day services. On the other side 4
wall shuts out most of the light. The
question ahoat il will the church now yield
TO his de mand Good authority says that
il will not, but on the other il is said the
building W i'll be rented ID one Of the most
reyiyalistic congregations in the city, who
are wont TO hold protracted meetings, not
adhering very strictly to the proper hour
of dismissal, OF very sparing with lung
force. The idea evidently being to make
il uncomfortable for McIlean's tenants.

boarding house here, 10 which she came
some weeks ago accompanied by young
farmer icou the slme neighborhOOd, a.
Legged to De Addison, Butler. Since her ar-
rival nature has forced maternal RESPONSE
bilities upon her. Leaving her with little
money, the young mao deserted her and
has not been saeu here since. She seems
in every respec4a modest woman, aud has
evidently been victim Of misplaced con-
fidence. From shams and nervous excite

little hope OF recovery is promised.

He IL Fined In One Contempt Case-The
Other Postponed.
COLUMBUS, April ALLEN o. Myers,
defendant in tho tally sheet cases, was
tried yesterday for contempt Of court in
absenting himself as witness in the re-
cent trial. The arguments occupied the
entire day. Myers was fined S25 and costs
and placed in the custody Of the Sheriff
till the fine WAS paid, which was done
later, the total amount being about $50.
The contempt case for writing libelous ar
ticles about the Court and other officials,
while the tally sheet case was in progress,
was continued till next Friday.
1t il rumored in select circles here that
the other three judges Of the district, who
are Democrats, will endeavor to divide the
work in such manner as to bring Judge
Lincoln from Madison county and place
him in charge Of the criminal business Of
franklin coupty, and send Judge Pugh to
Madison. The theory is that by this ar
rangement the further progress of the tally
sheet cases might be prevented.
Following the usual custom Pugh, the
youngest Judge in point Of service, is en-
titled to hear the criminal business, and
there will be great indignation if an effort
is made to transfer him.

Hot Words Between Marshal and Gov
ernor Wilson.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April S-United
States Marshal Cross yesterday presented
the Governor his bill of $46l.90 for ex-
penses in bringing the Hatfeld1 here for
trial Governor Wilson got quite angry
and refused to pay the bill, saying it was
too large, and that he had previously given
the Marshal $500, which WAS enough to
pay him twice over.
Captain Cross assured him that the bill
was sll right, aud Wilson retorted that his
opinion was unchanged. The Marshal
grew very angry at this, and told Wilson
that lie didn't give d-n for his opinion.
Some other words passed, and Governor
Wilson went before Judge Jackson and
protested against the fees with ali affidavit
that the bill was excessive. Decision was
reserved. Governor Wilson says he has
been badly treated.
