Trouble Between Colored Minister
and His Presiding Elder.

John E. Purdy, dismissed minister Of the
coored Me. Church, was placed on
trial in the Police Court this after
noon charged with threatening Rev.
G. NJ. Blunt, presiding elder in the same
church. Lawyers Darlington, Kicks and Hew-
lett appeared for the defendant
The affair, Mr.. Darlington explained, was
the result Of trouble in the church, which is
situated in East Washington.
Lawyer Hewlett said that this man (Blunt)
was tramp preacher and was after DR.. Purdy s
place.
This insulted the presiding elder and he told
Judge Miller that he wanted to explain who he
was.
The weather is too warm" said Judge
Miller, 'to listen to your church history"
The presiding elder told the court that
Purdy was dismissed from the church, and he
(Biunt) went to him for his preachers license,
language:
IN shoot your black head of, you black
skunk
The threat, he said, was made because he
(Blunt) threatened to publish his dismissal
The defendant denied tho charge and ex-
planned the actions of the church in Diminishing
HIM because OF Blunt's personal spite. He said
that the church which he built up now owes
him more than St,lO0.
Did you intend to injure the presiding ell
der?"
NO. sir, if he had been nv equal would
nave sued him for SANDER long ago. was Pur-
dy's reply.
Each minister said he had no more business
with the other and the judge told them that
they would have to settle their church trouble
outside of court. The charge was dismissed.

A Large Stock of Relatives.


A prominent young lady while at church
gathering was lately heard to remark to the
group with which she was chatting, that she
must take her departure very soon, as she was
obliged to attend funeral. In accordance
with this statement she made her adieux to the
company and fastened away. Shortly after
some others with whom she had heen chatting
went to the matinee at the theatcr. What was
their surprise when a few moments after they
had been seated the young lady who had to at
tend funeral came in and was given a seat a
few rows in advance. Since then they have
wasted many moments in q vain attempt to de-
eide whether the funeral was postponed or
whether it was hastened to allow one attendant
to reach the theater in time for the perform
ance. In college days it was a common excuse
that the collegian was called away by the
''funeral Of an aunt" when he was particularly
DESTROYS Of q weighty excuse. But then girls,
much less young ladies, would not do such
horrid things. For fear that this is the real
explanation, however. the young lady should
remember the fate Of the college student who
advanced his excuse SO many times that the
faculty finally suggested that thirty-eight
funerals ought to have used up his entire
family.

How the Count Progresses

The count of the census returns is going
steadily on in the Census Office. The returns
from cities and towns are not get fully COM
pleted and therefore no results are reached
So far about 100000 names have been
counted, which, under the system of
double counting in vogue in the Census Office
to secure yerifcation, is equivalent to 1000 900
actual population. 1t is expected that by ne xt
week the daily average OF the census counters
viii be about 2. 500, 600.
