TROUBLE IN M. P. CHURCH.
The Rev. George A. Wolfe of This CIT
called Upon TO settle Difficulty In Cbes

The Rev. George A. Wolfe of This CITY
called Upon TO settle Difficulty In Cbes-
ter.
Twenty-one members of the First
Methodist Protestant Church of Ches-
ter, Pa, united with the First
Methodist Protestant Church Of this
city Friday evening. .
This was due to the recent action Of
some of the members of the Chester
Church, whose claim is that the
minister of tho church, the Rev. Charles
Mitchell, had violated the laws of tho
church, alleging that he is engaged to
marry u young woman belonging to the
church in Chester, whilst he had living
in Camden, N. j., legal and lawful
wife, from whom he had not been
legally separated. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Mitchell and his wife have been
apart from each other for the East year.
The Rev. George A Wolfe, PHI. D.,
pastor of the First Methodist Protestant
Church of this city, was called upon
some time ago to establish a church in
Chester. He had the sanction of the
quar- terly conference and the church
was established at that time with the
Rev. Charles Mitchell as pastor. Mr..
Wolfe, in speaking Of the matter al his
home. No. 1l27 West street, this morn
ing, stated that at the time he did not
know that Pastor Mitchell was a mar
ried man, separated in "a common way
from his legal wife, and the church was
established 'tN
| Several prominent members Of the
church came to him and as he had
started the church demanded that a
meeting of the members of the COR
gregation be called for the purpose of,
as they termed it, "rightine wrongs. n
They claimed that for the best interests
of the church it would be advisable to
dismiss the present pastor and unless
this was done the church would suffer,
On Wednesday evening meeting OF
the church members was held. 1t had
been properly called and as the church
was formed with DIR. Wolfe and the
members Of the quarterly conference il
was deemed that tue church for the
present at least was amenable to the
conference. When seen in regard te
the matter, DR.. Wolfe said : "a mar
having wife and being engaged tc
another woman is living inconsistency
with tho laws of God, man and the
church which he is representing. | die

ter or any other place as the pastor
Our course was to revoke the alliance
that had been established by the QUAR-
terly conference. The final result viii
be determined at the meeting of tn,
annual conference, which will be helt
on April 3D.. In the meantime the 2
members will be connected with th'
church in this city and the remaining
eight will probably remain with tn
pastor. 7"
1t is asserted that the matter is' no
worrying Mr.. Mitchell and that he vii
probably organize "a Congregations
church. This will be pleasing to tn
members of the Methodist Protestan
Church, as it will straighten matter
without much trouble. and the churcl
in Chester can be roorganized.

The same small engine has on several

NEGRO ASSAULTED BY SOLDIERS.
John Trusty Set Upon at Delaware city
and Badly Injured.


John Trusty, respectable culored
resident of Delaware City. who looks
after matters connected with the land
ing of the steamboat Major Reybold at
the wharf there in the evenings. was
set upon earlyFriday evening by a crowd
Of soldiers from Fort du Pont, and
pretty tadly injured. One of the
soldiers knocked him down with q
club and another continued the assault,
and as u result his back and other por
tions of his body were in bad shape
after the encounter. Trusty had been
attending to his duties at the wharf
and was returning to his home when
the soldiers attacked him. 1t is believed
they thought he was somebody else, as
from what could be learned, they went
to Delaware City with the intention OF
"doing uE" one or more colored men.
The trouble began ON Thursday night.
Several soldiers we're in the town and
during the evening went to saloon.
| While there two negroes were elected.
They returned later with reinforce
ments and general fight ensued, in
| the course of which one of the soldiers
was prettyAbadly used up.
| This trouble resulted in bad blood
between the soldiers and the negroes
| who had assaulted one of their number,
and when they met Trusty last night it
is quite likely that they thought he
was one at the assailants, but from
what could be learned, be had no con-
nection with the affair whatever.
The fight might have assumed serious
proportions had it not been for the fact
that Lieut.. Mitchell, who is connected
with the detachment at the fort, was
in a nearby store and appeared on the
scene soon after the trouble began. He
rushed into the crowd and ordered
the soldiers back to the fort in half an
hour, telling them that if any of them
did not obey they would be put in the
guard house for 40 days. They left the
PLACE Immediately and the injured
colored man was given attention and
assisted to his home. 1t is likely thai
as soon as he RECEIVERS sufficiently he
will be taken to the fort and asked tc
identify his assailants. if possible, anc
some action will probably be taker
toward furnishing the offenders.
1t was reported that the saloon
keepers had been requested not to sci
liquor to the soldiers, but this repol
could not be verified.
There was also report to the effec
that before the assault on Trusty wa'
committed several other negroes hat
been assaulted in similar manner
but resident of Delaware City sale
Saturday he did not know Of any
body else being badly hurt.
