WANT TWO BLOODY coRpsEs.

A Sanguinary Offer Posted on a Connec-
tieut Church Door.
STRATFoRD, Conn, May l3.-An offer of
800 for ;he corpses of Deacon Samuel T
Houghton and Committeeman Thomas b.
Fairchild was posted the other night on
the front door of the Stratford Congrega-
tIonal church among notices of prayer
meetings, and. notwithstanding the denial
that e was authorized by any one belong
ing to the church. the belief exists that il
was put up by some member OF the con
gregation.
History of the Trouble.
The church is the oldest in the state and
last fall celebrated its 25oth year of exist
ence. The church managers recon-
mended the reduction of the pastors sal
airy To 81 100 per year. and he then offered
to take the financial management himself,
guaranteeing TO to pay off the church debt
in three years. This offer was rejected,
and the rejection thereof caused decided
hubbuo. the women especially expressing
themselves in terms very uncompliInent-
airy to the deacons.
Wanted the Deacons Removed"
On the night of the rejection one of the
ladies stopped directly in front of Deacon
Houghton, and, in q tone signifying that
she meant all she said. exclaimed:
Il want the descons to call a meeting SO
that we can pray to be soon rid of them
Her additional utteranees left no doubt
that what she wanted was a special dis
pensation of Providence to remove the OBJ
jectionable deacons as soon as possible, nc
matter how. Deacon Houghton has been
an officer of the church society for many
years, and is one of the mildest and mosi
benevolent looking men that ever passed &
plate. He promptly resigned his position
as deacon, and withdrew from the church
and the society. Next morning the above
notice was posted

NEW YORK, May I3-william Purnell,
colored FISHERMAN and deacon in the
vile, Staten Island, was arraigned yester-
day morning before Justice Disosway, on
q complaint of Rev. William s Brown,
pastor Of the church While Mr.. Brown
was preaching in his pulpit Sunday morn
ing Deacon Purnell entered in an excited
manner. fourishing a revolver. He
shouted at the top of his voice that he in
excitement prevailed
Discretion the Better Part of yalor.
Pastor Brown suddenly discontinued his
discourse and climbed out of back win
dow. Deacon Purnell attempted to use
his pistol, but was restrained and the pas
tor escaped from the church uninjured.
Dominic Brown took to his heels and
made the best time possible to his home,
not far from the church. He was hotly
pursued by Deacon Purnell, who still
held the revolver in his hand. When
the deacon arrived at Dominic Browns
the minister was safely inside, and had Sc
curely barred the doors and windows.
Deacon Purnell, after making an unsuc-
eessful effort to gain an entrance TO the
house, raised his aevolver and began TO
blaze away through one of the windows.
None OF the shots hit either the minister
or his wife, although they stood near the
window
The Preacher Opens Fire.
After Purnell had emptied his revolver
Dominic Brown cautiously poked his head
out of the front door and, leveling a re-
yolver at the deacon, opened fire in live
ly manner. The first shot missed the dea-
con, but the second plowed through his
stovepipe hat, knocking it of. At this
Deacon Purnell began to dodge, and
finally reiterated without getting any of the
bullets into his body. Before evening serv-
ices were held warrant was sworn out
and Deacon Purnell was taken into Gus
tody. Unpleasant stories were circulated
which involved Dominic Brown and Dea-
con Purnell's wife. 1t is understood that
Purnell openly accuses the minister of
misconduct with Mrs. Purnell. This the
dominic Indignantly denies 4 majority
of the congregation are with the minister
in his troubles. Justice Disosway ad-
journed the examination.
