FIGHTING FOR CHURCH PROPERTY.
Judge Stewart, OF Chambersburg, Decides
the United Brethren Case.

Judge Stewart, of Chambersburg, Decides
the United Brethren Case.
CHANBERsBURG, PA, Aug. 25-Judge Stew
art TODAY rendered his decision in the long
contested equity suit between the liberal
and radical factions of the church of the
United Brethren in Christ. This contest
grew out of the adoption ofa new constitu-
tion at the general conference in York in
1869 A portion of the church objected to
the clause permitting members to unite
with secret societies. They withdrew from
the conference, organized another and
termed themselves the radicals.
The contest for the church property at
once began and in several portions of this
and other States it became furious struggle
supremacy. At Greencastle, Franklin
county, blows were resorted to, the church
barricaded and all manner of strategy en-
acted to gain possession. Finally it was de-
cided by the heads OF both conferences to
make this test case, and it was tried in the
Franklin county courts. Some of the best
legal talent OF Pennsylvania and Ohio (the
latter State having the large publication
houses of the church) were employed. Thou,
and the expenses ran into thousands OF dol
lars. The main objection urged by the radi-
Gals was that the vote on adoption of the
new constitution was not properly taken,
and that it was not passed by two-thirds
vote.
Judge Stewart reached the conclusion that
these objections were not well founded,
and held that the ajority must not be two
thirds of all the members of the society,
but majority of all those voting; that all
the actions the general conference regard
ing the adoption of the new constitution
were regular and in full accordance with
the powers delegated to it. He concludes
that the church ut Greencastle has violated
none of the conditions under which il holds
its property, and that accordingly the title
remains in the liberals, who are in connec-
tion with the legitimate church: DEGREES
sre entered restraining the radicals from IN
terferring with the church property. The
radicals will take the case to the Supreme
Court.

through the town, when one of the wheels
came or and allowed the corner of the
wagon to drop down. The driver, after an
hours solicitation, succeeded in inducing
Two men to help him lift the wagon up so he
could put on the wheel. They procured a
rail and had the axle about half way up,
when the rail broke and it fell down again.
The helpers and the spectators, who stood
afar OF, fed precipitately, and for the next
half-nOuT the driver was the only person
within radius of halfmile.
The inhabitants gradually overcame their
fright when they realized that no explosion
had occurred and one ut a time came back
TO the neighbOThoOd of the wagon. The driver
finally got two other men to help him out
nnd succeeded in getting the wheel on.
Then he drove out of town and the citizens
began 70 breathe easier.

DISAPPOINTED
Because of His Defeat in the
Speakership Contest.
Mills Will Not Be the Ways and
Means Chairman.

Springer Said to Have Been Decided
Great Tariff Reformer and the New
Speaker Said to Be the Cause of the
Trouble-Springer Interviewed.
New YORK, Dec. IA special to
The World from Washington says
Roger @. Mills will not be appointed
chairman of the committee on ways and
means. By his own acts he has made
the appointment practically impossible
from the standpoint of Speaker Crisp.
William M. Springer will be named for
the position, by virtue of which he will
become leader of the house. A differ
ence of opinion as to the policy Of the
party is the chief cause, but the sulki-
ness of Mr.. Mills since his defeat for the
speakership has helped Mr.. Crisp to
come to this decision. Mr.. Mills insists
that the first duty of the party is to
place itself upon record as opposed to
the Mckinley bill as a whole and in
favor of another measure as distinct as
the one which bore his name in 1898.
Speaker Crisp's objection to this plan
lS IlldJ IL NOulu DIlIlS IClltl W DODOtlN.
The party would only succeed in placing
itself on record at best. Speaker Crisp's
idea Of the true policy of tie party is to
introduce and pass either one short, COM
pact bill, or several very brief measures
of whose meaning there can be no pos
sible doubt; strike at the root of the
question by putting WOOL salt, binding
twine, and few other articles which
are designated as raw material upon the
free list and stop there, leaving no room
for misapprehension or misconstructiOn.
Such bill could be passed in a few
weeks by an overwhelming majority
Mr.. Springer, whom Speaker Crisp
has chosen for the position on the ways
and means committee, is the most con-
spicuOus northern Democrat in the
house, and is in thorough accord with
Mr.. Crisp's views. The speaker antici
pates with perfect equanimity a charge
that the appointment of Mr. Springer
will be only a cOnsummatlOn OF u
bargain by which he was nominated;
but he looks upon this as one of the
purely personal considerations wh n
ought not to influence his Judgment in
striving at the welfare of the party.
Mr.. Springer, as a matter of fact, will
first learn of the speakers intention
from this article.
Mr.. Mills course can not be foretold. |
1t is not possible that he will accept Il
subordinate commission. He may even
resign and stake all upon his canvas for
the senatorship.
Mr.. Springer in an interview Sunday,
said a general revision of the tariff at
this season was impracticable, absolute
ly impolitic." His views coincide W. h |
those of Speaker Crisp and he advocates
putting wool, binding twine, cotton
ties, salt, lumber, iron ore and coal upon
the free list. The articles enumerated, |
he contends, should be put in one com
pact bill, or they should be put in a num-
Der of brief measures which can be
speedily acted upon.

BLOOD OVER A LOVE LETTER.
Young Man Accuses Boy of Breaking
One Open and is Shot.

CRAB ORCHARD, KY, Dec. ia
bloody and fatal cutting affray occurred
at Mount Vernon, fourteen miles south
of here, in which a young man named
DeCoad received half dozen dangerous
wounds in the back, from knife in the
hands of Joe Lamb, son of Rev. J. d.
Lamb. The trouble grew out of dis
pute about love letter which DeCoad
gave young Lamb to deliver TO his de
Coad's) sweetheart, and which DeCoad
accused Lamb of breaking open and read
ing Directly after the cutting the
father and brother of DeCoad came upon
the scene, and made superhuman exer-
tions to shoot Lamb, who, however, es-
capped their vengeance and surrendered
himself to the authorities, and is now in
Jail. DeCoad is still alive, but will die.
Lamb is mere boy; his victim is twenty
one. Both belong to reputable fami-
lies.

SUPPOSED WORK OF rRAMPs.
swO Women and Two Children Murdered
Near New SMYRNA Fla.


ORANGE CITY, Fla, Dec. 10 An
Itrocious crime was committed twenty
three miles from here-a lonely place,
Iway from the railroad. 1t is on Hills
boro river, about six miles below New
T Bmyrna.
Frank Packwood has lived here for
years, coming from New Orleans. He
married Miss Bruce, of New York, but
she died several years ago, leaving a
young son. Her sister, Miss A. H,
Bruce, then came to live with her
brother-in-law, to assist in bringing up
the child. They had been north and re-
turned home last week. bringing with
them Mrs. L. D. Hatch who was sup
posed to be from New York or New
England. The house is large one and
handsomely furnished.
The house was entered Friday night
through window, the intruders smash
ing the sash and glass in order to gain
an entrance. A ghasty sight met the
eyes of the first visitors to the premises
Sunday morRing. In one corner of the
main room, on the floor, lay the body of
Mrs. Hatch, shot through the left eye,
presenting horrible sight
In the same room, lying ON the bed,
was the body of her six-year-old son,
shot under the left eye, and with his
throat cut from ear to ear.
In the adjoining room, lying on the
floor, was the body of Frank Paclzwood,
four years old, shot through the head,
and with his throat cut also. In the
same room, lying upon the bed, was the
body of Mis- Bruce. She had been out
ragged, and her skull and face had been
smashed with some heavy weapon. Her
face had also been shot through, and her
throat had been cut.
At the entrance of the broken window
a large revolver was found, two cham
bers of it having been emptied. On the
bed, by the side of the body of Miss
Bruce, lay double barreled shotgun,
with the stock broken into splinters. On
the bed, near the body of the Hatch boy,
lay a long bladed butcherknife.
No Clew to the murderers has vet been
found, but tramps seen in this neighbor-
hood are suspected of the crime. A
large posse. headed by Deputy Sheriff
Dimick, started southward Sunday
morning. Packwood, Sr., is missing,
and the mystery deepens. The posse is
securing tho country for the murderers.
The place is so far from a telegraph
station that only partial details of T. )
terrible atftr are yet obtainable. The
house where the four victims met their
fate, is located ON the banks of the Hills
boro river, in the midst of a. thick
orange grove.
