Pastor Ellis Again in Possession Of
the Greene square Church.

Pastor Ellis Again in Possession o
the Greene square Church.
Pastor Ellis aud his friends are now II
possession Of the Greene Square Baptis
church. An entrance was quietly effected
yesterday by the aid Of a locksmith, anc
the doors were thrown open. All of the
doors Of the church had been securely
locked and barred, several Of them being
reinforced with additional locks and bolts.
| Lewis Whiteman. the recently elected sex
ton, was put in charge.
The unexpected move on the part Of the
pastors faction disconnected the opposition
and caused a sensation in the neighborhood
| Of Greene square Members of the pastor 5
faction gathered at the church and con-
graduated each other upon their successful
move, while members OF the opposition
gathered in knots on the street,
aud discussed the situation. Trouble might
have arisen between the two factions had
not a policeman been stationed in the
square.
The leaders Of the opposition 20 the pastor
were stirring around considerably in tue
afternoon, counsaling with each other and
consulting with their lawyers. A petition
was circulated by some members Of the OPP
position amoug the white residents
of the neigh borhood asking that the mayor
because Of tue probability of a disturbance
should the meeting be held, but the petition
found only few signers. Mayor Schwarz
refused to take any action in the matter,
but said that the police had orders to pre-
vent any disturbance.
The action OF the Ellis party was taken
by advice Of counsel. They hold that a
sexton was elected at q regular church
meeting to fill the vacancy caused by the
expulsion Of the former sexton, who had
violated his duties in excluding the congre-
cation from the church without
proper authority, and that the
newly elected sexton performed his
duty in opening the church to the congre-
cation by the means used
Pastor Ellis said that he Is willing to
abide by the evidence of the records of all
preceding meetings held according to the
constitution Of the church. The opposition
was much worked up over the en-
trance of the Ellis party to the
church. One of the leaders said
to MORNING NEWS reporter that they re-
pudiated the action of the meeting held at
the Odd Fellows hall Monday afternoon, at
which the leaders of the opposition were
excluded from the church and new officers
were elected TO the positions made vacant
by their expulsion. He said that his party
had 400 names of members in good
attached to a petition for
the removal Of Rev. Ellis from the pasto-
rate. Legal steps will probably be taken
to-day by the opposition to exclude the pas
tors party from the church, and they will
doubtless be enjoined from using 1t until a
legal hearing can be had. No services were
held at the church last night

A negro switchman, named ii n, was pain
fully injured in the Central railroad yard
day before yesterday. He was knocked
down by the corner Of box car, drawn by
pnsher No. 80, in charge of Engineer j. l..
Morgan. Mr.. Morgan said that the negro
appeared 30 clumsy about his work
Tuesday night that it attracted his
attention, and he asked him If he
was not afraid of being hurt.
He replied: 20, never you mind; come on
when l wave.n At the time of the acct
dent the man was on the freman's side of
the engine, and the first intimation
the engineer had of anything wrong
was the tireman's remark that the switch
mans lamp was extinguIshed. He imme-
diately stopped his engine. and on investiga-
ton found the man lying alongside of the
track. Engineer Morgan and the fireman
assisted him to his feet and he walked to the
switchboard. He said that the accident was
caused by his own negligence, he not having
taken the precaution to see how close the
train was to him after opening the switch.
He said he was struck by the corner of one
OF the box cars. A wagon was sent for and
the man taken to bis home in the Fort,
where DR.. Elliott, surgeon of the company,
attended him. Yesterday afternoon the
doctor reported his condition favorable and
fears no serious results.

Lieut.. Carter was asked yesterday
what effect the new improvements on the
harbor will have on Back river, and
whether they will cause shoaling and a
lessening of the depth of the water.
1.-THE present depth Of Back river, =" Lieut.
Carter said. "varies from three feet to fifty
and sixty feet, and while | cannot definitely
state the effect OF the improvement upon
it, it is very probable that its depth will be
lessened"
"What increase In depth will the present
appropriation give the Savannah rivern
That depends altogether on the bids; the
lower they are the more water will be
secured"
In speaking to MORNING News reporter
of the Improvement of the harbor. gentle
man said: Money should be O secondary
consideration where deep water is con-
cerned. The more water we have the more
trade we will get, and the more trade
we get, the more money will be brought
into the port. The monied men should
form a syndicate and have lower bids made
upon the work. If the bids were one-tenth
less than they have been in the past consid-
cradle more water could be obtained 1t

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Signing Another's Name 70 Orders

Signing Another's Name 20 Orders
fer Whisky Gets a Man in Trouble.
A daring forgery was perpetrated Mon
day afternoon on the Mutual Cooperative
Association. and one Of the parties to tbs
transaction is now in Jail awaiting trial al
the December term Of the superior court.
The officers hope to have the others under
arrest In day or two.
f1What makes matters worse is the fact
the forgery is tie second within a month
by the same party. About four weeks ago
an order for half gallon Of whisky, with
the signature of W. +. Burnham, was
brought to the store and was promptly hon
ored, Mr.. Burnham being a regular pass
book customer of the association. When
Mr. Burnham was settling his bill be dis
putsd the whisky item, saying he never
sent any one for such an article. The order
was shown him and he promptly
pronounced it a forgery. Nothing more
was heard Of the matter until Monday after
noon, when cOlored boy brought to the
store another order with the signature Of
Mr.. Burnham. The writing was identically
the same as the first one, and George Van
Horn, manager of the association, deter
mined TO capture the forger by little
strategy. He accordingly had the order
filled aud followed the boy as he left the
store.
AT the corner Of Barnard street and Con-
gress street lane the boy was met by
white man, who took the jug of whisky
from him Mr. Van Horn stepped up and
grabbed the yOungster and carried him TO
Justice Naughtin's office, where he swore out
a warrant charging him with forgery. The
man gave the name of J. L. Lamison and
protested his innocence of any intention Of
wrong. saying he was unable to read or
write, and that the order was gwen him by
two other men--whose names he gave the
magistrate-who told him that he could get
a half gallon Of whisky on 1t by sending
boy to the cooperative association store.
The officers have about located the two
parties whose names Lamison gave, and
expect 10 get them to-day or tomorrow.
Mr.. Van Horn said last night that he pro-
poses TO vigorously prosecute The case.

Everett Paxson a. Rudolph, WIN Nor
ris, and Julius Jacobs, brother of City
Treasurer Jacobs, returned from Yellow
stone park, where they have been fishing,
hunting and loafng for five weeks. They
are as bronzad as indians and as fruitful in
yarns as sailors. They killed car loads of
smsli game, all of which was shipped east
As 10 large game, many bears we're seen,
but the gang fought shy of them.
Julius Jacobs, however, had a wonderful
adventure with bear, which is worth re-
cording On horseback he rode some dis
lance from the camp. and got away from
his companions. lettering his horse TO a
tree In the dense FOL est, he cast his eagle
eye around for game, and when several
rods from his horse he deserted an immense
bear staring him full in the face. Jacob
wasn't loaded for bear. If he had been, It
would have been simple and ordinary
bear story. The bear wasn't very trouble
some, but whenever Jacobs started to re-
treat bruin would advance a few PAGES to-
ward him.
If he advanced toward the bear the bear
would show his teeth and retreat a fe ~
steps Thus with considerable maneuvering,
about the same relative positions were
maintained. Jacobs searched all his pock-
tenpenny nail. A bright idea seized him,
and he carefully drew the bird shot from
his gun and loaded it up with the tenpennv
nail. The bear was standing with his tail
against the trunk Of a tree Jacobs took
careful aim, fired, and nailed the bears tail
fast to the tree. The bear was now unable
to advance toward Jacobs; and he retreated
In safety to where his horse was tethered
Arrived at this point, another brilliant
idea struck Jacobs. He took his riding
whip and returned to the scene of the ad-
venture. He began faying the bear with
the whip, in spite of the bears bowls and
protests. Finally the hide was so loosened
that the bear jumped clear out of his skin,
and made his way into the woods with wells
of distress. Jacobs calmly drew the nail
from the tree, slung the skin over his shout
der, mounted his horse, and returned to
camp.
Unfortunately, while the caravan was
crossing the Jefferson river, the bear skin
tumbled off and was lost Jacobs, however,
still has the tenpenny nail. and can show it.
