The dibandlng OF the Deep Gulch

Beulah Church Again.

Rev. William H. Johnson, coloreu'
was in the dock in the Police Court this
morning at the instance OF ohadrsck
Jackson, colored, charged with lnterier-
inc with a meeting in Beulah Churcn'
on Washington street, between Duke
and Wolfe. 1t seems there has been
trouble among the flock for several
months. some of the members and ofhcers
having requested johnson to resign as
pastor-which they deem equivalent to
a dismissal-but the latter has contend
ed that, according to the laws governing
the church. he could not be deposed in such
a summary manner. johnson has the
sympathy and support of certain per-
centage of the members, and when the
two factions gather in the church
there is, of course, friction. The mat
ter was aired in the Corporation Court a
few DAYS ago, but it seems the waters
are still disturbed. Last night the
Johnsonites and those with whom they
are at variance, met in the church and
the services of Officers Arlington and
Nicholson were secured to prevent in
fractions of the peace. During the meet
ing vote was taken and johnson and
his followers polled 81 votes. The
other faction, led by Shadrack jackson,
could count but 32 noses. The minority
refused to submit to the majority, claim
ing that most of those who voted With
the latter were not bona fide members OF
the church, but had been received as
such at Johnson's house. Mayor Simp-
son was not as abrupt as Gallo of old
when ''he drove from the judgment
seat a similar gang oflitigants, but gent
ly quashed all proceedings so far as the
respective claims of the contestants were
concerned. He reminded them, how
ever that in the event of breach OF
the peace he would assume jurisdiction
and act accordingly.

whom who may be in close proximity to them.
Many persons involantarily walk on the e

them are not exercising due caution
when when doing so. One of the most dan
gerous places is at the Confederate
monument which is necessarily used as
a sidewalk as well as a carriageway:
Drivers often run their teams at rapid
gait around the coping surrounding the
figure at times when pedestrians are
crossing. A lady barely escaped being
struck by wagon at that point this
morning, while other narrow escapes
could be mentioned.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The village of Mongani, Spain, was
visited by disastrous fire today, and
great part of the place was left in ashes.
Two thousand of the inhabitants have
been left homeless, and in destitute
condition.
Considerable damage has been caused
in the eastern Spanish provinces by
heavy earthquake shocks. In many places
serious panic was caused by the super
stitutious inhabitants who feared the end
of the world has come.
The Spanish minister of finance, by
King Alfonso's desire, has prepared a
compilation of the accounts of the Philip
pine and Cuban wars. The total cost OF
these wars was S476, 500, 900. The ac-
counts will shortly be presented to parlia-
ment.

Baltimore will not attend the Pope

Preparing for Fishing Season

Within two or three weeks time the
Sahermen will have begun operations at
the Potomac shores A few herring
have appeared in Chesapeake Bay, and
in little while they will be working
their way up the river. The proprietors
of shores are at work making preparations
for the catch. Seines and boats are be-
ing put in order, sheds erected and
other necessary arrangements made.
The gillers are also rigging their nets
and getting ready for the shad fishery.
The season last year was by no means
remunerative to most of those who en-
Ibarked in the business, and while all
hope more satisfactory conditions will
mark the coming season, the outcome
is. of course, uncertain. Alderman
Bsllenger is making arrangements to
send down portions of his outfit to his
chores this week.
