CHURCH TROUBLE.
The Macedonian Baptist Congregation
Airing its Troubles In Court.


The Macedonian Baptist Congregation
Airing its Troubles In Court
The only case in the criminal court
yesterday, was that of the state against
w. ]. Johnson, This is the famous or
infamous Macedonian Colored Baptist
church scrap which occurred some time
since. wherein the congregation Is about
equally divided and as equally deter
mined to establish two ministers In the
one pulpit, and the result the past few
weeks has been that the first faction to
reach the church would hold the pulpit
II not for preaching the gospel, It would
be to discuss the question at Issue, and
hence finally the suit.
EX-Congressman John o. Pendleton
appeared for the defense, while Attorney
]. ]. Conlff and Prosecuting Attorney
Meyer were for the prosecution.
The case is a ridiculous one and IL
causing considerable mirth. And no
doubt 1t could have been amlcabiy set
tied outside OF court.
