Rev. John NJ. Leayitt Joins the
Reformed EDiscOpalians.


Reformed Episcopalians.
New YORK, Oct 20.-Rev. John Nc
Dowell Leavitt, d. d., who, after forty
one years. service as minister of the
Protestant Episcopal church, has with
drawn to become Reformed Episcopal
church minister, preached this morning
on his reasons for doing so IN the First
Reformed Episcopal church, Madison
avenue and Fiftieth. DIR. Leavitt de-
clared that he had been practically
forced into his present position, and his
action was the outcome of a long and
persistently fought battle between the
tenets of the Protestant Episcopal
church and the dictates of his own con-
science. His widest difference from the
church was on the supremacy of the
Scriptures as the sole rule of faith. The
baptismal office was. he said, in direct
contradiction to the article and homily
on this point, for the reason that while
the Office asserts the regeneration of
the infant in baptism, the Scriptures
are silent on the subject.

The Recent Municipal Election in
Chicago Found 10 be Illegal.
A Decision Of ths Illinois Supreme
Court Makes This a Fact.
1t is Evident That Roche Will Take
Every Advantage of it.

CHICAGO, April S.-The politicians of
this city has been sstonished by the an
nouncemeut that it is discovered that the
recent municipal election of this city
was Illegal, and that 1t is within the power
of any citizen TO overthrow it. This state
of affairs grows ont of the decision rend
cred by the supreme court, which was
rendered since the election WAS held
Last November the suburban of Bright
on Park and Cicero were, by the vote of
their people, annexed TO Chica-
go. The village officers of
both plsces however contested the matter
and it has since been pending in the
courts. The decision of the court annex
ed the territory to the townships Of south
aud west Chicago, but did not operate to
make it part of the city, the power TO
extend the limits OF which reats entirely
with the city council. There lies the
trouble. The law OF the state provides
that whenever ali of a township lies within
the limits of city, the city election shall
be held on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in April, and where the
township is not all included within the
city limits the election shall be held on
the third Tuesday in April. Under the
the annexation of Brighton Park and
Cicero TO the towns of West and South
Chicago city, does not entirely cover the
townships, and, therefore, the municipal
election should have been held April 23rd.
Moreover, the law requires twenty days
notice of the election shall be given, and
rs the time is too short between date and
the third Tuesday in April for legal
notice, 1t seems questionable whether q
mistake can be rectitied by new election
on that da1e. Wide fields of 5 speculation are
the verdict of the people in the recent
political land slide. 1t is claimed that if
the present republican administration lis
willing to invoke the law 1t can hold over
and prevent newly elected democrats
from taking their seats. 1t is said that
Mayor Roche has consulted the corpora
tion counsel in regard to matters, Tut it
caunot be learned that any decision was
reached.
CHICAGO, A pril S.-This evening a resi-
dent of the annexed territory, applied 10
Judge Jameson for an Injunction res
training the election commissioners from
counting or declaring the votes cast.
The ground taken was that the residents
of che annexed strip, having no notice of
