Families Divided Over the Build

FAIRVILLE SCENE OF TROUBLE
Question of Site Caused the Breach
Among the Members OF This
Church and Lively Suit
at Law is Likely
TO Result.

Fsirville, some miles above this city
over the Pennsylvania State line, has q
contest of novel character on hand
which grows out of religious matters, and
even families are divided against them
selves in consequence.
For many years the people Of the vii
lage gathered in the school house for
worship and the organization was con-
sidered part of Lower Brandywine
Presbyterian Church, which is in Della
ware. Finally considerable sum of
money was raised for the erection of an
independent chapel and turned over to
George M. Thompson as treasurer. Fin
ally Thompson moved out of the locality
and turned the cash over to ]. M. Shat.
ner. When II was decided to bui d the
people were divided as to site, and there
was trouble. One party selected ground
and commenced to build and the other
did likewise.
1t is now stated that Mr.. Shafner has
turned over the cash to the builders oil
the second chapel and there is all variety
of trouble. To add to the difiiulty the
school house where services were being
held was visited couple of nights age
and the organ, library and other property
carried off and placed in the secont
chapel. There may be lively lega
fight over the matter before it is ad
justed.

give them that chance.
She said she was glad to zee such q
large proportion OF men In the audience,

She stated that the Chinese did net
| want opium sent there, and that two OF
the most cruel wars OF the century were
caused by her rebelling against it. The
second time she was conquered. Many
people in England felt that they were

the ''no confidence question" was raised
and parliament dissolved. The question
of prolonging the war then went to the
people, who voted to prolong the war.
The result was that now there are two
hundred million opium smokers in China
today. This is one result of the exercise
of citizenship in civilized country.
She alluded to- the famine which is
still raging in India, which she said was
caused by the most fertile land in that
country being given over to the raising
of the poppy for making opium. This
matter was also referred to the voters oi

answered the description given MIN by
the colored man proved to be the resi-
dence OF a German woman, who told
McAteer "dat der vas no policeman's
und dead Italians dere."
Hoping to find out more definite in.

Eighth and Lincoln streets, where he
