A PREACHER EXPELLED.
The Charge of Bigamy Against the Il
Nathan r. Wilson Sustained.

The Charge of BigRmy Against the Rev.
Nathan r. Wilson Sustained.
The Rev. Nathan F. Wilson of Mt.
Zion Church, Southwest Wilmington,
was expelled by the A. U. NJ. P. Con.
ference Monday afternoon on a charge
Of bigamy. The matter hau been re-
ferred to committee Of which the
Rev. j. W. Green of Green Mountain
Valley was the chairman.
There was no question that Wilson
had two wives. According to a mem
Der Of the conference, the first wife was
Ella somebody" and the second wife
was Annie Anderson. Wilson had Sc
cured a bill of separation from the
first, and afterwards had married wife
No. 2.
Whatever reasons might be urged for
a divorce the discipline of the A. u.
NJ. p. Church recognizes no cause. and
Mr.. Wilson'S bill OF separation did not
save him.
The committee reported at the after
noon session of conference that Wilson
was guilty. The accused minister. whu
was born in this church connection,
and had been with the conference for
eight years, addressed the body in his
own behalf. He claimed that he had
been wropgfully led BY the city au-
thorities and understood that the bill
OF separation was sufficient,
He was expelled from the conference
by unanimous vote.
The Rev. q. L. Bivens, who had
violated the rules OF the a. u. M. p.
Church by marrying wife No. 2 to the
Rev. Nathan +. Wilson, was exonerated
from blame at Tuesday afternoon
session OF the conference. The Rev. /.
B. Cooper of Salem, N j., was elected
president; the Rev. d. j. Russell oil
Philadelphia, vice. president; the Rev,
Alexander Woodwards of Norristown,
district secretary, and the Rev. j. r.

A SERIOUS ARRAY.


One Man shot, Another stabbed mud a
Chnd Badly Hurt.
Word was received here on Friday
from Charlestown, Md, Of the at
tempted abduction of child at Rey-
nolds, near there, which resulted in
the shooting Of one man, the stabbing
of another and probably fatal injury to
the child.
As far ae could be learned Mary
Waller about years ago married
Edward Ritchie and two children, a
girl and boy, were born. The couple
lived happily until about six months
ago, when they disagreed, with the
Understanding that tbs wife would re-
tain the custody OF the children, the
husband. who is an agent for Phila-
delphia firm, saying he would support
them. During the Christmas holidays
the husband visited the home and
made thiHgs pleasant and was not seen
from that time until Thursday morn
ing, when he appeared before the home
OF his wife's people with York Cur
riage.
Mr.. Waller, the father of Mrs.
RitChie, appeared at the door and
Ritchie asked for hie wife. Mr.. Waller
walked toward the rear of the house TO
call her, when Richie caught Emily,
one of the children, and attempted 10
puther in the carriage. Mrs. Ritchie's
brother Howard happened along about
that time and saw the attempt and
caught the horse by the head and
stepped it as Ritchie was about t.
drive off. Richie pulled out revolver
and fired two shots, one of which hit
| Inward Waller in tho right side near
the hip. Edward Waller was in the
garden in the rear Of the house and
ran to the scene of the excitement and
jumped into the carriage and pulled
Richie out The latter attempted tc
shoot again, but tho revolver failed
to discharge. Edward used a knife
and cut Ritchie across the left
shoulder
The horse in the meantime ran ava,
and the child was thrown out abou
100 yards away from the scene of tn,
trouble and badly injured about thu
| head.
