TWO KILLED IN CHURCH.
An Indiscreet Virginia Preacher Precip.
itates q Free Fight.

CHARLOTTE, NC, Feb. 6.-During services in
Virginia country church about thirty miles
from Sparta, NC, last Sunday, the Rev. Jos.
NJ. Strooke during the course of his remarks
said: ''There is a man in this congregation
who is so mean and unfaithful to his wife that
it is a wonder God does not rain down fire and
birthstone upon his head and consume hin"
The preacher pointed his finger toward Thos.
Coleman, who occupied seat near the pulpit
and as he did so that individual jumped to his
feet to inquire if the parson meant to be per-
sonal in his remarks. No sooner was Coleman
on his feet than half dozen deacons were up
demanding that he sit down. Everything was
in an uproar and an attempt was made to eject
Coleman. Coleman resisted, and, Selling q
stick of wood lying near the stove. he began to
WELD it hard and fast, knocking four men to
the floor and fatally wounding Jeremiah Fer
guson. One man wrenched the club from
Coleman and dealt him a deadly blow across
the head. He then walked out of the church
and has not been seen since. The riot lasted
six minutes and was participated in by many
of the congregation, who used clubs as
weapons. The killed were Thomas Coleman
and Jeremiah Ferguson. The injured were Ed
ward Clausen, Robert Edwards, John Peeby.
