ment of a demurrer to the complaint in

leges that the defendant, resident Of

ceeding $250,000, mostly in personal

GETS HIS WEDDING FEE.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson Of Kenosha
Collects His Bill.
MINISTER VICTORIOUS.
C1ergyman's Actions Shocks Episco-
paIians and a Rupture in the
Parish is Threatened.

Kenosha, Wis, Feb. S.-[Speciall J.
Rev. Henry Thompson has won COM
plete victory in his fight against j. keck
Wheeler, to collect fee for performing
wedding ceremony, for last evening
Mr.. Wheeler sent the rector check for
the entire amount which he alleged was
due him in the case. The settlement of
the case was only made after Mr..
Thompson took the first legal steps to
collect the money due from Mr.. Wheeler.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Thompson pre-
sented to Mr.. Wheeler a bill covering all
the expenses of the wedding. The bill
reads as follows:
Josiah Keck Wheeler, Dr., in account
with Harry Thompson, Rector of st. Math-
ew's Church:
TO performing one wedding ceremony. So. 90
10 janitors salary for two nights. LOO
$500
AS soon as the bill was received by
Mr.. Wheeler he forwarded check for
the amount to the rector. With the
check he sent very gentlemanly letter
thanking the minister for the favor he
had conferred in waiting for the money
for SO long a time.
While the threatened suit has resulted
in a victory for the rector it has been a
bad thing for St. Mathews parish and
it is feared that the trouble will lead to
an open rupture in the church. A YES
try'nan this evening stated that the ac-
ton of the minister was displeasing. He
said the vestry had not taken any &C
ton, as Mr.. Thompson had resigned as
rector Of the parish.
