The Charge ofIllegal Voting Brought
Against Rev. Rusbridge. of the
Methodist Episcopal
Church.

uRBANA, O., April 17.-Rev. ]. s. Rus
bridge pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at st. Paris, this county, is among the
absent, and it is supposed he has fed to avoid
arrest and criminal prosecution for violation
of the election laws. Last October he was ap-
pointed to the charge, and Immediately after
the election last fall, it is said, he preached
more prohibition than religion from his pull
pit. This course displeased many members
of his congregation, and a church row was
the result. The pastor suspended some OF the
active members of his church, but at sub
sequent hearing the minister's action was
not approved and the parties were restored to
membership. For a while peace reigned
supreme in the fold and all seemed well, but
for some trivial cause the old disturbance was
renewed.
Rusbridge is an Fnglishman, and the ques-
ton of his naturalization came up. He told
conflicting stories as to how and where he
obtained bis papers. His opponents in his
church pushed the matter. and notwithstand-
ing that the minister claimed to have taken
out his second papers, he came here on April
I'd, and, on surrendering to the, Probate
Judge his declaration to becomes citizen, was
given full citizenship. Learning of his ac-
tion. his enemies took steps to have him ar
rested for Illegal voting, he having, at sever
al places, exercised the elective franchise:
j Rusbridge learned of what was going on, and
since Sunday night has been absent. he
