CHURCH TRoUBLEs.-Mrs. Psrlett,
wife OF Rev. John H. Parlett, minis
ter of the Radical United Brethren
Church, Of Frederick county, was ar
rested on Wednesday on the charge OF
assault. The arrest was the outcome
of series OF difficulties between the
radical and liberal branches of the
church. Judge Harrison. in the Cir
cult Court, some time ago gave the
liberal branch of the church possession
of disputed church in the county.
This stirred up feeling between the two
branches and on last Sunday, when
the liberals went to worship there, they
found the doors locked. They broke
open the doors and held services. As
the congregation was leaving Mrs. Par
lett approached Mrs. Margaret john
son and, it is charged, seized a gold
breastpin from Mrs. Johnson's throat.
She claimed, it is alleged, that Mrs.
Johnson's son stole it from her some time
ago. The women, it is said, fought uu-
til separated by officers OF the court. A
warrant was procured for Mrs. Parlett's
arrest, and Justice Adams, before
whom the case was tried, reserved his
decision.

and that they are preparing for the
