SUNDAY SCHOOL ROW.
Messrs. Brooke Bruce and
Harvey Make Tribu1a-
ton for Greenvi11e
Reformed Church.

Look out for the Xmas Ktra on Sat
UrdGy.
The annual meeting of the Greenville
Reformed Sunday School. which was
held last evening in the chapel on Ocean
avenue. was decidedly interesting,
1t was known by every teacher of the
school that there would be several candi-
dates for the office of Superintendent,
and consequently every teacher was pres
ent to taxi a hand in the fight.
Mr.. Edward ]. Dusel, who has been
acting superintendent since Mr.. Jay
Pockman resigned the position, oficiated
didates for the position of Superintendent
was Nh. Homer Brooke. He had numer-
Gus supporters. and the election contest
would have been a hot one had not SO me-
thing unforeseen happened.
WHO WAS CHAIRMAN?
At the last meeting Mr.. Dnsel a appointed
a committee to purchase new seats for
the Sunday school room. Mr.. Brooke
was made chairman of the com mittee.
When Mr.. Dusel called for the report Of
the committee at las6 nights meeting.
Mr.. Brooke responded and started i'll TO
give the report when Mr.. Linn Bruce
jumped up aud objected. He said that Mr..
Brooke was not Il member of the COM
mittee and had no right 20 report. THIS
made Mr.. Brooke very angry and he told
Mr.. Bruce to MIND his own business.
The women teachers then took part in
the fray and it looked as though the good
brothers and sisters were about to smite
one another.
The Chairman repeatedly raped for
order, bun it availed nothing. The ex-
element was at fever heat. At last a
truce was called. and al! hands decided
to submit the matter to Chairman Dusel
for settlement. The Chairman upheld
Mr., Brooke. He said that as he had APP
pointed MIR. Brooke at the previous
meeting he did not see how
he could do otherwise than
excitement, and Secretary Frederick w.
Jaehue WAS asked to the minutes
of the previous meeting. The minutes.
as recorded, failed to show the name of
Mr., Brooke as a member of the commit
tee. giving the place of Chairman TO Mr..
S. l.. Harvey in his stead. Then there
was another period OF tribuiation.
DEEPLY INsULTED.
MI. Brooke arose and said that he did
not wish to ave his name go before the
meeting as a candidate for the Superin-
tendency of the Sunday School. He
tapped his pocket significantly ana said:-
''I've got the report of the committee
here l n my pocket. but you will never
see it."
He then left the room, threatening to
get square for the insult" which had
been offered him. 1t was a quarter
of an hour aflerward before
the chairman succeeded in restor.
ing order and regular business
was again taken up. A motion was
mad and carried that the chairman ap-
point a new committee and the following
teachers were appointed:-S. L. Harvey,
Chairman; E. Garthwaite and E. j.
Clark.
OFFICERS CHOSEN.
The following officers were then
elected: Superintendent, II. N. Walker
Assistant, w. j. Clark. Secretary, Henry
Harvey; Treasurer, Clark Walker.
Librarian. Charles Vreeland: Superin-
tepdent of Infant Glass, Miss Nellie Reid,
n Female Superintendent, Mrs. Camp
field.
The row has caused considerable IL
feeling among the teachers, and it is ex'
pected that the neX meeting will be even
more lively than that of last night.
