The Southern railroad Is an immense
road and they desire to come to Nor

Invested III improving the property

have asked the city to sell them at n

Our city should give liberal en-

should Norfolk III this instance not

result greatly to the general welfare of
the city. 1t Is not generally known to

THEY ARE NOW DIVIDED
Providence Lithuanians Have Organ
ized Another Church.
CAUSE or THE DISSENsION
Members of tho Old Congregation Wanted
TO Dictate to tho Priest and o
Quarrel and Arrests Followed.
Thcy uavc Withdrawn.

In the office otProthonotary Pryor an
application for a charter for new
church was filed yesterday morning.
The name Of the congregation is to be
est. Joseph's Lithuanian Catholic
church," and the control and disposi-
tion of the real and personal property
shall be vested in the lay members.
The church Is an offshoot of the
trouble that q small contingent Of the
congregation Of the Lithuanian church
of North Main avenue had with the
pastor, Rev. Michael Peza. a month ago,
when seven were arrested one Satur-
day night for locking up the church by
mailing the doors. The seven are under
bail for their appearance at court on the
charge Of malicious mischief
When the priest refused to withdraw
the case against them, they and their
friends cut loose from the church
The names Of the subscribers for the
new church are: Michael Barnotio.
Jonas Szwiswokas, George Smith, An
thony Gowal. Michael Shemboskay, 10.
acph GudiElky, Frank Marsancavitch
and William Shemboskey.
One of the prime objections the afore-
said gentlemen had against Father
Peza was that he would not let them
dictate to him In matters ecclesiastical
for which, according to the dogmas Of
the Catholic church, the priest Is an
swerable to no one but the bishop Of
the diocese.
They wanted to say what should and
what should not be done. and they in
sisted on getting the deed Of the prop
erty already acquired, which consists
Of lot Of ground and a basement
rooted over. which is used for religious
worship.
