ASSAULTED IN THE PULPIT.
Snatohed a Bible From the Preacher

When Pastor j. j. Jones of the Taber-
nacle Christian church, (colored) out on
Louisville road, arose in his place last
night to open the services, and opened the
Bible to give cut his text, lively scrim-
mage took place.
just at that time Boston King, a pug
nacious mem Der of Rev. Jones' dock, ad-
vanced rapidly TO the pulpit, snatched the
holy book out OF the preachers hands and
threw IL down with a bang. He cursed
and abused rev. Jones, the latter's friends
say, and threw his hand around TO his
hip pocket and swore he would kill him
Women in the congregation screamed,
some tainted, II is said the men got ex-
cited, and the meeting broke up in Coufu-
sion. Omcers of the church escorted
Rev Jones to the street car, and he came
on TO the city to make complaint against
King.
IL seems that the trouble grew out Of a
denunciation, last Sunday, by Rev. Jones
from the pulpit, of Boston King, whom
he charged with living in adultery
with member Of the con
Rregation. He denounced King and
declared that no such conduct would be
tolerated in his church. King was very
angry, and lie Jones asserted that his
life had been often threatened, and that
he was uged TO have omcers OF the
flock es orJ nIm in and out of the church.
Rev. Jones said Jnat he would swear out
