The trouble in the New Preston Con-
gregational church, In which Rev Heavy
Epson interrupted Rev F. s. Child ~ he
was about to deliver his farewell sermon,
was aired at the justice trial there, last
week, which was fully reported in tie
New Milford Gazette. Mr. Upon Was
chaplain of the 18th Connecticut during
the war, coming to New Preston In 1851.
where he was pastor of this Congrega-
tional church for nine years, when
trouble sprang mp and he preached At
New Preston Hill for 1--WE years to 1879
He has since devoted himself to his school
for boys and has been aggrieved that TIE
New Preston church did not give him the
confidence that he thought minister
should have. Mr. Child came to New
Preston about four years ago, Rev Mr.
Epson suggesting his name and, for
time, the two ministers were great
friends, though some Of the practitioners
of Mr. Child still hated Mr. Epson n only
some church members can hate one
another. The trouble between Mr. Ups0n
and Mr. Child began over several hum
dred dollars which the former had been
the means of collecting for church or
gan and which he refused to pay TO Mr.
Child because it was proposed to buy
reed organ, instead Of the pipe organ for
which Mr. Epson had labored. The mon-
ey was finally paid over to member of
the church. after subscription was start
ed for pipe organ. After this bone II
contention between the two ministers,
Mr. Child would not speak to Mr. Upson-
The latter fretted over the trouble and
wanted church council called to settle
it, but Mr. Child and his church would
not agree to this, nor would they allow
Mr. Epson to present his injuries in their
meetings. This angered Mr. Epson, who
publicly likened the church to New
York's Doodle aldermen and SO the sore
waxed worse. At the Thursday evening
meeting before Mr. Child was to leave,
Mr. Epson tried to speak, but was again
choked off and planned to present his
case against the church ON Sunday morn
ling as Mr. Child was about to begin his
farewell sermon. This he did, mounting
the platform to face the congregation,
which was thrown into great confusion,
one woman fainting and several men ris-
ing to try to put Mr. Epson down. Nj
Child put the question to the congrega-
r ton as to whether he should proceed,
three fourths of whom rose in his favor
Mr. Epson was sturdily defiant, but go
no chance to present his case and was
, finally arrested for disturbing the Sun
day service Rev Mr. Child, his ieacons
. and friends gave their view of the case
and Mr. Epson told his story, Rev Nj
: Palmer of Bridgeport and Rev Mr. Lee O
New Milford unfolding his right Il

+ little more Christian forbearance wouls

this row, which is one of the worst kind
of farces on the brotherly love tina

the case.

A New Departure In Converting Electricity
into Heat.
WASHINGTON. April 25.-Five important
patents were yesterday issued to Elias + Riess
Baltimore electrician, for methods and ap-
paratus for heating by electricity. These
inventions are based upon aud embody
radically new departure in the art of con-
verting electricity into heat by means of
which various losses attending previous at
tempts in tkis direction are entirely overcome
1t is claimed that by this system dwell
ings and other places can be supplied with
heat from central generating stations by
the same conductors that now supply them
with current for incandsscent electric
lights, and at a cost considerably less than
that for which an equal amount of heat
can be produced by the crude and wasteful
methods now in use.
