CHICAGO, Sept. l6.-A dispatch from In

court will today listen to arguments in q case
that involves a confession of religious faith and
several million dollars OF property. The Church
Of the United Brethren in Christ is divided
against itself. The general conference held in

fession OF faith and an amended constitution, q
vote OF the membership having been taken il
November. 1865.
In Wayne county was prosperous congrega-
ton known as the Sugar Grove Church, the
trustees Of which adhered to the old confession
OF faith. Those who refused to adopt the edict
OF the conference are called radicals, and those
who follow the conference are known as liberals.
The liberals demanded the church property,
but the radicals refused to give it up and suit
was instituted in the Wayne county circuit
county. Judge Buudy OF Newcastle Was trial
judge, and the case occupied the court for
nearly four weeks. Judge BuIdy found tor the
liberals and an appeal was taken.
The United Brethren church has property in
almost every county and state IN the United
States, and at Dayton is a large book publish
ing concern worth at least S250,000. 1t Is a
fight as to which side shall have control of this
immense amount of property, as several simi-
lar suits to the one filed in Wayne county have
been instituted in different states. The htlga-
ton has already cost thousands OF dollars.

Of the foreign exhibits resulting from the tariff
laws and that every possible evidence of good
will and desire to promote the interests of the
foreign exhibitors would be given. Mr. Foster
then spoke to the commissioners, saying that
this fair was not local to Chicago, was not local
to the United States, but was strictly worlds
fair, in celebration of an event in which
all nations were interested. PROPERLY
America was arranging the matter but all
nations Of the earth had proprietory interest
in the celebration. In every case where the
tariff laws seemed to interfere with the foreign
exhibits the department would make the most
liberal constructions Of the law and where this
was not sufficient Congress would be asked to
pass special acts to destroy any discriminating
regulations of the tariff He assured the com.
missioners that the government would exert it.

Sir Henry Wood informed him that

need have no fear of their inventions being APP
propriated without their consent, as this gov
ernment would protect them.

HARD COAL TO BE USED.
A Decision That Will Involve Great Expense
to the Chicago Fair.

TO the Chicago Fair
CHICAGO. Sept. 16.-1he grounds and build
iugs committee of the worlds fair has agreed
that anthracite coal only shall be used on the
grounds during the exposition. The decision
is very important, involving as it does an i'm
mense expenditure. The machinery plant Of
"a, 900 horse power will consume an enormous
amount of fuel, and the decision in favor Of
hard coal is made TO avoid damage to fine fab
rics and the art exhibit which would be sure to
follow if soft coal were used. 1t is thought an
arrangement can be effected with the roads
