G CHURCH FIGHT.
congregation OF Bay Meade Church
INDUCED in a Free For All Fight
TueSday-Four OF the Party i'm Jail.

Dlssension between two factions in
a negro church at Bay Meade has caus-
ed the negro population in that vicin-
1ty TO become very much disturbed and
as a result four of the congregation
are in jail and several more will most
likely be there before tonight.
There have been several minor quar-
rels between the two factions. but the
big fuss occurred on Tuesday On this
day the pastor and a committee were
trying a member for some miscon-
duct. When the triai was started the
opposing faction was put out Of the
church and the doors fastened. This
is what caused the trouble. Among
those excluded from hearing the trial
were Joe Miller, Hezekiah Miller, Ida
Wallace and Eliza Miller. These ne
groes determined that they were going
to near the trial and Hezekiah Miller
proceeded to beat down the church
door. He gained entrance to the church
but there he found obstacles more diff
cult to encounter thar the door. No
sooner had he stuck his head in the
curch than several women were upon
him pounding him to the best
of their ability. On the OUT
side was his mother, brother and
several &C the opposing faction. They
ruched in the church and for a few
minutes the church wa5 converted into
a den of raving human beings.
They fought and scratched until ex-
hausted and when the fight ceased sew
eraI of them were very bloody, but as
far as can be learned no one received
any serious injuries.
Representatives of both factions were
in the city yesterday and each side was
securing warrants. The papers were
placed in the hands of Constable Saw
g and deputy Sheriff Harvey Cox.
They went to Bay Meade late yester-
day afternoon and brought in the four
of rhe above mentioned and
placed them in Jail.
The trial will take place before JUS
tice Fowler this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
HeZekiah Miller and Eliza Miller are
both charged with forcible trespass
and several members of the gang were
indicted under peace warrants.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Prospects Now Are That Fairbanks

ais will be withdrawn.

removed from the remaining sessions
of the convention.

nomination.. A meeting of the deIega-
ton was called for the purpose of
~caucuaing on the question. 1t was
postponed until tomorrow morning.
and the opinion expressed that no
other nomination han Senator Fair

conclusion ithou a meeting, regard
