MR.. PORCH WILL STAY.
An Attempt to Gust Him From the
Lutheran Church.
THE VOTE STOOD 10 TO g..

1t IL said That the Anti Porch Faction
Desire Rev. john A. Bright Tor Their
Pastor.
Rev. T. NJ. Porch Is still pastor Of the
English Lutheran church, corner Of Fifth
and Harrison street, an effort made to
sever the pastoral connection existing be-
tween him and the congregation, having
failed
It was four years ago that Mr.. Porch
made a contract to become the pastor Of
the Lutheran church at an annual salary
of 1890.
Alta called ongregational meeting last
Sunday morning, d resolution was intro
duced to the effect that the church is
in debt to the amount of about 500 and
there is no Immediate prospect Of rails
ing the debt, it be the sense
of the congregation that the pastoral re-
lations existing between the church and
Rev. K. ii. Porch should be severed on
the first of August and that the church
should be closed until the debt should be
paid
The introduction Of the resolution pro-
posing to remove the pastor \ sur
prise to many mem bers Of the congrega-
ton and they resented the proposition by
promptly voting it down, the vote stand
ing forty for the resolution and sixty
seven against it.
There was unusually large cOngre-
cation present Sunday morning, even if
the weather was warm, and one Of the
pastors friends. says there were present
eighteen mem bers from the country who
voted for the resolution, who had not
contributed to the support of the church
for over a year.
When the result Of the vote was an
nOunced j. B. McAfee. VINO is one of the
leading members of the church, arose
and said he hoped that none Of those
who had voted for the reso. ution would
fail to stand by the pastor and the action
Of the church as that was what he pro-
posed doing.
1t is said that the church has had some
trouble for d year Or more and TWO fac
tions have developed, one for and the
vote last Sunday morning shows. the pas
tor is sustained by a large majority Of
the mem bers of his church.
Among the causes of the dissension in
the church, the suit for SANDER filed in
the district court few days ago by hrs.
ROsanna Schlichter against I. J. Whiting
has been factor of no small Importance.
Both factions are now making an effort
to settle the trouble but the faction
which led the fight on Rev. Mr.. Porch
will, it ls understood, urge the reduction
Of the pastors salary IN order to provide
for the payment OF the church debt.
1t is said that the faction Of the church
opposed to Rev. Mr.. Porch want Rev.
/. 0. O. f. for their pastor. AIr. Bright
is member Of the church, but he was
not present at the congregational meet
ing Sunday morning, although Mrs.
Bright and her daughter were there and
voted.

Police station.

Indicate that American indepen-
dence was celebrated with degree
Of enthusiasm the part of some that
would not have met with the full ap-
JrovaI of the colonial patriots
The culprits' enthusiasm was not the
kind that leads to citation over past vic
tories, and pride for American institu
tions.
Such a celebration was that of John
Murphy, John Finney and William Balm.
They made such distur bance on East
Sixth street that John r. Mulvane went
70 one of his telephones and sent for a
detail of police. Officers Capron, Jenkins
and Owens responded and captured
them in the lumber yard near Monroe
street. They were fined So each, which
they paid Their occupations are entered

Then came George Sullivan and Peter
Bagan of Parkdale. They had d fight
down Smoky row last night and it
cost them SO each.
John Ward had d fight at Benefits
stables but the complaining witness re-
fused to prosecute him and he was dis
charged.

1Ir. Eugene Hagan, as an active ele-
ment in the Democratic party is not
squeiched, after all
When the Shawnee county Democratic
convention passed Il resolution exc0m-
municating him, ex-Postmaster Frank s.
Thomas and his supporters thought that
Hagan was no more. lie was buried, but
after three days he arose from the tomb.
Mr. Hagan has been appointed on the
Democratic state central committee.
The convention delegated the power of
selecting eight mem bers Of the commit
tee, seven by congressional districts and
one at large, to the candid ates nominated
and the chairman Of the convention, w.
g. Perry, acting together.
At the conference at the ThroOp yes
terday the selection Of the eight mem
bers was made 1t is understood that a
majority Of the candidates were opposed
to The appointment Of Hagan as mem
Der Of the committee but Mr.. Perry in
sisted and finally carried his point and
Mr. HAgan was placed on the committee.
The eight members so selected are
really the managers of the committee
and upon them devolves the greater part
of the work Of the campaign a. the COM
mlttee IS too large to do much as a body.
w. G. Jones, the former chairman Of
the committee, did not fare well. He
also was ignored by his Judicial district
in the selection of the committee, and
he expected an appointment among
those selected by the chairman and the
candidates. LIE did not get it, and the
man who has been on the steering com
mitree for many years is now back

committee were made:
