COULDN'T COME TO TERMS.
A Church Meeting Ends in an Uproar and
No Decision.

A Church Meeting Ends in an Uproar and
No Decision.
A lively meeting of the congregation of
the Ebenezer Baptist Church, colored, was
held last night at the church, corner of Mil
Ter and Colwell streets. The meeting lasted
to late hour and ended in disorder. The
object of the meeting was to discuss the
propriety of pushing the suit over the title
to the church property, which has been
taken to the Supreme Court. Tie suit is
between the two factions of the congrega-
tion, which split recently and formed two
churches, both of which now want the
church property.
The party which met last night was the
one led by Rev. Mr.. Pryor. He preached
at the meeting. He and about % of his fol-
lowers wanted to continue the suit, while
large number favored discontinuing it, The
argument grew warm and the members be-
came excited. Mr.. Pryor took the floor,
and, despite opposition, retained it. The
excitement increased and a clamor arose.
Everybody talked, men and women jumped
upon chairs, and finally, after a long and
heated discussion, in which everyone
took part, the meeting ended in an uproar,
without accomplishing anything.
AT Its conclusion little knots were formed
ON corners and the situation discussed pro
and con. Rev. Mr.. Pryor's opponents
charged him with the trouble and said they
would ask for his resignation, while his
friends upheld him as strenuously. An
other meeting will be held shortly to settle
the matter

A GRASS WIDOWS DECREE.

It's Absence Prevents an Interesting Mar
ringe Ceremony-AnA Alliance Newspaper
Collector Comes to Pittsburg to Wed.
but Is Disappointed.
Alliance, o., always to be relied upon for
an ornamental romance, has taken the
trouble to furnish Pittsburg with good
story. On Thursday Harry s. Linscott, a
collector for the Alliance Daily Leader, came
to this city bringing with him Hulda B.
Morrell, gushing young grass widow, and
there was matrimony in his eye.
Late in the evening Harry, following the
example of man whose fame has been
sung, dressed in his best suit of clothes and
hired fine carriage with liveried driver
on the box. He then drove to his hotel for
Hulda, and the twain were soon whirling
toward the residence of Registrar S. P.
Connor, on Atlantic avenue, East End.
Arriving at the home of Mr.. Connor Harry
explained that he wanted marriage license
for himself and lady whom he had left in
the carriage. They were from Alliance, o.,
he said, and wanted to get married that
night.
He could give no special reason why they
had not been married in Alliance nor why
they desired to get married that night, but
he said they would be very much disap-
pointed if they did not get the license i'm
mediately. At the request of Mr. Conner
the lady was brought into the house and
proved to be handsome, well-dressed
young woman. They were both very
nervous, but answered the formula of ques-
hons. The young man was "a years of age
and the age of the bride was the same.
When asked if she had ever been married
before the lady hesitated and asked if she
must answer that. When she was told yes
she said she had been married before, but
had been divorced. The divorce had been
granted last July.
She did not have copy of the divorce
decree, and Mr.. Conner said that he could
not issue the license without it. The in
variable rule is if one of the parties has
been divorced to require a certified copy of
the decree. This is principally because the
law of Pennsylvania provides that where
infidelity has been the cause of divorce the
defendant and correspondent cannot marry
each other.
When Mr.. Conner said he could not grant
the license without the decree the couple
pleaded hard and the lady found solace in
tears. 1t was of no avail, however. In
answer to their questions Mr.. Conner told
them that the only way to get married with
out the paper would be to go TO New Jersey,
where there was no license law and but few
questions were asked. They finally took
their departure, much disappointed, and
without announcing their intention.

FULL LIST OF CHANGES.
An Official Resume of Alterations in the
Flint Scales.

An Official Resume of Alterations in the
Flint Scales.
The following official resume of the flint
glass conferences has been furnished for
publication. The main points have already
been published in The DISPATCH:
Mold makers: The working hours have
been reduced from 5s to So hours per week;
is equivalent to substantial increase in
wages.
Pressed ware and iron mold list: The basis
for turns work will be now AZ hours. This
is a compromise on AZ hours, the workers
demands, and hours, what the manufact-
urers insisted upon.
Chimney blowers: The chimney scale as
agreed upon in the conference last June was
ratified. The only change is that the sum-
mer shutdown shall be for eight weeks
instead of six weeks as heretofore.
Prescription scale: This scale is practi-
cally the same as last year, with the excep-
tion of the addition of new bottles to the
list, and a cash settlement every two weeks.
The summer stop has been extended from
seven weeks to two months.
Paste mold scale: This list contains some
minor changes from last years, in the way
of a substantial increase in the wages paid
on a number of articles.
The electric bulb scale is the same as the
one in vogue last year.

Her Husbands Children.
Joseph Rian and his wife, Christina Rian,
were arrested yesterday afternoon, on Pride
street, by Officer Bailey, and taken to the
Eleventh ward police station. At the time
of the arrest Mrs. Rian had a cobblestone
in her hand and was about to throw it at
her husband. This was brought about by
domestic trouble relative to his children
and step-children, Rian having had several
children by former marriage.
AT the station Rian stated that he ac-
cused his wife of trying to poison the step
children Mrs. Rian was searched by the
police and a pocketbook containing some
paris green was found. The police believe
that she is slightly demented. They held
her, however, for an investigation. Rian
was released on forfeit for his appearance
this morning.

Two Brothers Exchange Shots Over a Fam
lily Falling Out

Barney Martin and his brother, residents
of the hillside above the old Second avenue
car stables, got into dispute last night
over their sister, who recently came from
the old country. They had been drinking,
it was stated, and adjourned to the ground
back of the stables to fight it out. Re-
volvers were drawn and several shots fired,
but no one was wounded.
The shots caused a message to be sent to
the Fourteenth ward police station, and the
patrol wagon and several officers were sent
to the scene. When they arrived the broth
ers had escaped. The officers investigated
the matter and learned that no one had
been injured, and the wagon returned.
