The Minister Formed the Hope-Ssven OF
the TuExers Arrested.

JAMAICA, l.. l., Oct. 2S.-Seven members Of
shiloh COlored Baptist Church were arraigncd
in Justice Faber's court room to-day rs the re-
suit of a disturbance in the church during the
morning service. The church has been rent into
factions for some time owing TO an attempt to
force the pastor. f. w. Tapley. to resign. One
of the trustees. James johnson. who was orig
inally a friend Of the minister, quarrelled with
him about money matters. and became leader OF
the faction which IS opposed to the clergyman.
A week ago Johnson got hold OF the keys OF the
church. locked mp the building, ana declared
until the minister resigned. Instead Of resign
ing Mr.. Tapley; armed with lawyers advice.
and on last sunday the services were held with
out any disturbance
This morning. however. the anti-Tapley fac
break up the service by singing " sweet Marie
and other secular airs. The congregation
the pastor began his sermon the malcontent
members entered. Brother johnson, who was
the asp by sS sCp saS ps
last week, declared that as the pastor had not
been ordained he had no right TO preach. He
called on Tapley To leave the pulpit. Tapley re-
fused and tried To continue the services. John
son and his followers advanced to the pulpit.
and started to pull him II ION the pulpit, but at
this point the pastors friends came TO the res
Then followed an exciting tug OF wal, between
the factions. with the clergyman supplying the
place Of a rope. The church was in an uproar,
every body yelling at once, and Tapley making
vigorous protest against the uncomfortable and
undignihed position in which he found himself.
In the midst OF the excitement Police COnsta-
bic OBrien entered. This alarmed the two
struggling factions, and they lnosened their
grip upon the minister, allowing him tn fall In
heap on the floor. Somewhat worse for this
treatment, he arose and requested the constable
10 preserve quiet In the church. O'Brien com
manded seven of the more aggressive members
10 follow him, and conducted them 10 Justice
Faber's court room, They were Trustees John
son. French. and White, Deacon Smith, and the
brothers Teagle. Blackstone. and Christian.
Aided by the questions of COnstables Ashmead
and O'Brien. the Justice gathered the details OF
the story. He made extensive inquiries into the
ject upon which the prisoners seemed to be
greatly at loss to explain cOherently. He
finally decided that each faction Of the church
should retain lawyer and that he ewould try the
case on next Friday evening. lie further ad-
Xised that no further service should be held until
the matter Is finally settled.
