The Break of Congregational Pastor of n
New York Church.

New York Church.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
LoCKPoRT,N. Y. February 9.-The Rev.
E. B. Furbish, pastor of the First Congre-
gational Church in this city, resigned to-
day. This is the result of church row of
several months standing. Part of the
congregation desired that all candidates for
membership should promise to abstain from
card playing, theater going and dancing.
The pastor sided with the men-theater-
going, dancing and card-playing faction
and then the trouble began. From the
church it spread throughout the denomina-
ton in this part of the State.
The Congregationaltst,t the leading church
organ, took up the side against the pastor,
and the majority forced the pastor to re-
sign. Members of both factions threatened
to go, and number of the younger men,
bers Of the congregation withdrew from the
church.
Circulars were distributed by both sides,
and for months the strife has been going on.
A council of the churches will be called in
few DAYS to dissolve the relationship of the
pastor and the church.

WASHINGTON. February 9.-Congress-
man RandalPs condition has improved to-
day and his friends are hoping that he will
be about fully recovered from the set back
he has sustained during the last few days.
The weather to-day was bright and clear
and the change was felt and appreciated in
the sick room, where the atmospheric con-
ditiOns have quite perceptible effect.
This evening Miss Randall said to The
DISPATCH correspondent: my father is
much better to-day" Then referring to the
sensational reports about his being in q
dying condition, printed in some of the
newspapers, she said "I can't imagine
get their information. If they sit
down coolly and make it up them
selves, can't understand their
audacity and hard heartedness in
printing it. I am sure we give straight in
formation to inguirers. You can imagine
yourself that it would be very depressing
if you were sick to see daily accounts in
the papers stating that you were very i'll
and hardly expected to live the week
through. My iather reads the newspapers
every day, and it is quite irritating to him
to see these reports.
HE saw to-day in one of the Philadel-
phis papers that Mr.. Wanamaker had said
that he was in dying condition. It hap
pened that Mr.. Wanamaker called here this
afternoon, and my father asked him
whether he was correctly quoted. The
Postmaster General emphatically denied
having made the statement, and declared
kEnkl L G1s ~. l..
of that paper yesterday. There is equal
truth in the other printed reports about my
father being in a very low condition. He
is better and getting along nicely, and he
would probably improve more rapidly if he
did not continually see some correspondent
expressing his opinion on his case"

CHURCH MEMBERS CAN'T AGREE.

A Church Congregation Falls Ont About
the Employment of a ChOrister.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
YOUNGSTOWN, February 9-Considerable
feeling has been aroused in Trinity NJ. E.
Church here by reason of the official board dis
pensing with the services of the chorister and
also the organisr, and employing in their places
Prof Charles Liebman TO perform the dual
duties. The board claims that Its action was
justified on the ground that it was necessary to
curtail the church expenses and employ one in
stead of two persons. Prof. Lehman is an ac-
complished musician of conceded ability. A
portion of the congregation claims that because
he is a Hebrew he SHOULD not have been Sc
lected Other members hold opposite opin-
IONS and assert that neither the creed nor na-
tionality should be considered in such mat
ter as it is urchristianIike.
Unless settlement is soon effected there is
great danger of split in the church. Prof.
Lebner entered upon his duties to-day.

Baldwin did not come to time with the alacrity

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The code
of rules will be the chief subject of interest
to come before the House OF Representatives
for consideration this week 1t is the inten-
ton of the Committee on Rules to call it up
as early as possible and to limit debate. so
that final action on the subject
may be reached within two or three
days. While there are more than a few of
the new rules that are ohhoxious to the
Democrats, it is not probable that the oppo-
sition will be manifested otherwise than by
speeches and by adverse votes upon them,
provided the minority are afforded what
they regard as reasonable time for dis
cussion.
Probably BY the time the rules are dis
posed of the Committee on Elections will
have reported the contested election case of
Atkinson versus Pendleton, from West Vir-
ginia, and action upon that case will con-
sumo the remainder of the week with a
possible exception in favor of the unfinished
business, which is the bill to extend the cir
culation of the national banks.
There are indications that the Blair edu-
cational bill, which has the right of way in
the Senate, will run through the week and
perhaps longer perlOQ before q V0be Is
reached upon it. The author has not
yet finished his speech, and a num-
ber OF Senators are ready to follow
him with set speeches on the same subject.
