An Important Crop.

A correspondent in a rural ex.

izing the farm crop, let us not neg

them with US and not take it for

There was some applause, which a
moment later was changed into laughter
upon Deacon Walcott remarking, What
does he mean by that?"
Deacon Morse coldIy requested Mr..
Chase to reduce his motion to writing.
"Let DR.. Browns name be put in that
notion" exclaimed Deacon Walcott.
DR.. Brown asked that if vote was to be
taken upon Dear Brother Chase's motion
the hall should be cleared of all but men,
bers of the church. Before the question
could be put motion was made to lay the
Chase motion on the table, and it was so
ordered, Mr.. Chase alone voting in the
negative.
Laudatory resolutions adopted by the
First Congregational Church of Kalama-
zoo, Mich, were received, ard DR.. Brown,
with quiet sarcasm, remarked:
II hope that my dear brother, whom
have loved, will read the Scriptures. Per-
haps he may be led 10 move that the world
would be best served by Redeemer whose
reputation had never been attacked"
Brot er Chase was as swift as the eagle S
swocp in his retort: "Dr. Brown, fail to
see the parallel between the Redeemer and
yourself"
Then they sang hymn and DR.. Brown
gave the benediction.

MAY BE A "TRAMP."

Mrs. Cooper Says That May Be the
Fate Of the First Congrega-
tional Church.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper was in nowIse dis
turbed by the action of the church at last
evenings meeting. She had no word of
censure for it.
"As l said earlier in the day." she re-
marked, "the church may be disfellow-
shipped. In such case it will become an
ecclesiastical tramp.
"No, do not intend to withdraw from
it. l wonld as soon have thought of dis
honoring the flag in the old troublous
days of rebellion. Or. Browns stay in the
church will probably be short. shall not
attend service there while he breaches.
But shall continue with my class"
She spoke in highest terms of the coun-
Gil.

integrity. They did their duty in view of
all the circumstances. | would make but
motive can no longer be in question, if the
newspaper expose be true. y
Mrs. Cooper has been invited to join
three churches of the City, one a prom
inent Congregational church. The invita-
tions were given under the supposition
that she would not like to remain in her
present fold.
The lady regards the councils action as
full support of her charges and those OF
her daughter, and pronounces it victory

cone of the brethren had an inkling
that DR.. S. M. Freeland had prepared q
paper giving his views and those of
certain members of the council as to the
question of the guilt or innocence Of the
accused. 1t was at this juncture the coun-
Gilman who knew of the existence of the
paper called for its reading. Had he
waited till the reading of the report was
finished it might have been too late to give
the proposed document consideration.
"Dr. Freeland's paper was kind of ver-
bal bomb. 1t produced CONSERVATION in
some and satisfaction in others. The lat
ter moved that it be substituted for the
committees report. 1t was a critical situ-
alton. The paper was strongly denuncia-
tory, and 1t meant instantaneous death to
Browns ministerial career. Yet in the
matters in which the council was prec-
tically unanimous it was more spe-
citic than the report of the COM
mittee. After some discussion it was de-
cided to compromise by Incorporating por-
tlons of DR.. Freeland's paper in the report.
The committee was instructed to do this
work of recasting while the council took a
recess at o'clock.

sisted almost entirely of DR.. Freelands re-
port, yet omitted the most radical utter

passed it over to the secretary. No names
were signed, so it was impossible for any
member to know how his brother judg
voted. OF course the speeches indicated
something, but there was no way of know
ing if these ideas were promulgated in the
ballot.
1t has now developed that the immoral
conduct charge caused the council the
greatest amount of worry and labor in the
matter of arriving at a satisfactory under
standing.
There was at least one member of the
council who thought the charge of adultery
had been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt. Ballot after ballot was taken, and
wheI each had been duly recorded an
adultery vote was found. This determined
member of the council did not let himself
be known in any way, though there is a
prevailing opinion among the San Fran.
cisco brethren that the persistent voter
lives across the bay.
There were three elements in the coun-
ell. One favored a convection on all the
counts, another pleaded for absolute ac-
quittal, whila the third assumed middle
ground. DR.. Scudder, Rev. Mr.. Hatch and
DR.. Pond championed the cause of DR..
Brown as long as there was anything to
stand on. The extreme faction found ad-
vocates in DR.. Freeland and Deacon Will
liams. The Plymouth Church representa-
tives led a small following which favored
a comparatively mild censure.
The minority, headed by DR.. Freeland,
finally triumphed, however, resulting in
the decision as printed yesterday.
The statement is made on the authority
of member of the council, that DR.. Brown
must resign from the First Church, as his
connection with the Bay conference is
practically at an end. If the church fails
to act, then the conference must take up
the matter.
A letter stating that the superintendent
of the Pullman car service, conductor
named Strike, and porter who lives at
1871 Myrtle street, Oakland, could give
damaging evidence in regard to Browns
trip TO Tacoma with Miss Overman. was
in the hands of the judge-advocate. 1t is
said that all refused to testify, the super
intendent and conductor refusing to give
their reasons. The porter frankly stated
that he knew agood many things he would
not tell. 81 get about $50 month in tips.
'Twon't pay me to tell things he re-

Deacon Vasconcellos walked in. but DR..
Brown quickly recovered himself and

pairing to baptize me. 1t would be putting
it mildly to say that l was surprised at
Browns wonderful presence of mind"
Mrs Sarah B. Cooper said: ''It would
be hard to find nobler body of men than
the council. 1t has done its full duty with
the evidence before it. regard its find
ings as severely condemnatory. DR.. Nc

aoW A VERDICT WAS IGNORED
DR.. Brown Received With the Fatted
Calf, but Not as a Prodigal
Son.

DR.. Charles Oliver Brown, who has been
characterized by twenty men as guilty of
unchristian and ungentlemanly conduct
and, incidentally, the proprietor of very
nasty temper, struck back at his ecclesias-
tical judges last night.
IN spite of the doctors statement made
to the United Press representative shortly
after the verdict reached him that he was
satisfied with the councils findings he last
night took occasion to severely criticize his
ecclesiastical judges.
The pastors outburst of indignation
occurred at the prayer-meeting in the same
room where Matte Overman told her
weirdly fanciful story, and where DR..
Brown underwent the torture of three
hours cross-examination by the skillful,
ever-smiling Tenney.
When the usual songs had been sung and
prayers said the pastor rose and in a few
brief sentences introduced Deacon Morse,
who had an important communication TO
make Then followed the reading of the
verdict as rendered by the congregated
churches.
DR.. Brown impatiently waited for the
end, in order that he might tell his people
how the council after thirty-two days
OF earnest labor, had found him innocent
of all the charges, but through a mistaken
idea of justice had unfeelingly inserted
clause declaring him guilty of unminis-
terial conduct and casting discredit on his
explanation of the Davidson affair.
The pastor became very much excited
during this recital, which at the end
brought forth rapturous applause from his
friends. The council was praised and
scoffed at by turns, though it was plainly
seen that the sting of the verdict reached
deeper than the reverend gentleman would
have his flock believe.
The findings of the council were unani-
mously adopted by the church, but never
theless DR.. Brown was in negative way
indorsed as pastor.

W. E. Johns, the Stockbroker,
Scores a Point Against
the Octopus.
CASE OF BATTERY DISMISSED
He Will Now Institute Civil Suit
for Damages for Being Elected
From a Car.

Considerable interest was manifested
yesterday in the case of William E. Johns,
charged with battery upon Conductor G.
L. Healy OF the Post-street line, which was
tried in Judge Campbell's court yesterday.
Johns is engaged with his father, A. F.
Johns, as a stockbroker at 623 Market
street and he was at one time member
OF the Warde-J James Dramatic Company.
He lives at 716 Oak street and on Sunday
afternoon he left his home to go to the
Olympic Club. of which he is member.
He boarded Hayes-street car and at
the corner of Polk street got transfer to
the Post-street line. This was about 1 80
O'Clock and the transfer was punched good
till o'clock. AS there was no car in sight
he walked along to Grove street and when
Healys car came along he boarded it.
Healy asked him for his fare and he pre-
sented the transfer ticket Healy refused
to accept it, alleging as reason that
Johns should have renamed at the trans
fer point; so he demanded nickel, which
Johns declined to give. Healy then
threatened to throw him off the car and
signaled the gripman, John T. Sullivan,
to stop. The grlpman came to Healy'S
assistance and they grabbed hold OF Johns
and forciblv elected him from the car.
Healy became exasperated at the re-
sistance made by Johns, and as the latter
was stepping from the car to the ground
Healy struck him on the jaw with his
right fist. Healy and the gripman kent
hold of Johns until he was about ten
feet from the car, and then Johns asserted
his rights as a citizen and struck .Healy
twice III the face. The gripman ran across
the street and Johns accelerated his speed
by a well-directed kick. Policeman Cough

for battery.
Johns was defended by ex-Judge E. D.
Sawyer and Frank Y. Bell, while Attorney
Kelly appeared as special prosecutor for the
Market-street Gable Company.
For the prosecution Conductor Healy
struck the first blow. Michael GillOtti,
bcotblack, on the corner ofGrov e and Lar
kin streets, testified that he saw the fight
and saw Johns strike Healy.
The defendant testified that Healy used
violent language to him, and notwith-
standing his protests not to use violence in
ejecting him from the car Healy struck
him in the face as he was stepping 10 the
ground. Healy and the conductor fol-
lowed him for few feet and he wrenched
himself free and shot out his right and
left into Healy's face. He had frequently
boarded the car at Grove and Polk streets,
presenting Hayes-street transfer in pay
ment for his fare.
Johns was corroborated by Albert Windt
and Peter Morrin, two passengers who
were standing on the rear platform and
saw the whole occurrence.
The Judge briefly summed up the evil
dence and dismissed the case on the
ground that Johns acted within his rights
as a citizen In defending himself.
Johns will now institute a suit for dam
ages against the cable company, which

rules of the company to use it only at the

AS The CALL representative was leaving
the gentleman said:
Don't misunderstood the feeling of the
council. 1t would have been impossible to
send out document exonerating the man.
On the charge in reference to Miss Over
man alone, some of his reputed friends
said they were far from being convinced of
his innocence, at least as to mental and
moral wantonness, although no proof
could be produced of physical wrongdoing.
They believed there were, at least, minor
offenses which made Miss Overman feel
encouraged to prosecute her alleged siege
OF Browns affections. DR.. Freeland was
not the only man who made fearless ex-
preston. He was the one who couched it
in concise language. He and Deacon Will
llams and DIR. Mclean are fellow-passen-
gers in their ferry trips. Their views are
very similar, and it is thought that his pa
per was consensus of their opinions"
lfDr. Brown remains pastor of the First
Congregational Church through the grace
OF its members, or his own clever manipu-
lation, such action will result not only in
the dlsmemberment of that organization,
but the expulsion of the remaining frag-
ments from fellowship with the Bay Con-
ference.
This is the belief of another prominent
member OF the now defunct ecclesiastical
council as expressed yesterday. The gen.
tleman hardly thought it possible that
Brown would be so foolish as to make a
fight against such a unanimous conclu-
sion.
Still the pastor is known to be a vigor-
Gus fighter and one not likely to lay down
his arms, be the odds ever so great.
The council in voting on the several
specifications employed the secret ballot.
Each member recorded his vote on little
slip OF paper, folded it up neatly and then
