Rows in Churches.

A special dispatch from WilliamsPort,
Pa, says
"Rev. William Matthewson, pastor Of
the Swedish Valley Methodist Church,
created a sensation at the Sunday service
by offering to fight any three men III the
valley. The challenge came as the eli
max of series of sensational attacks on
the members of the Masonic and other
secret orders. This time his remarks
were resented, and a public quarrel fol-
lowed. several of the leaders in the
church assailing the minister while ne
was in the pulpit. Mr.. Matthewson de-
clared from his pulpit that no member
of the Masonic fraternity should have a
place in the church and that no minister
who was q member of the order had ever
had successful revival. He savagely
attocked at the same time the Grange
and the Odd Fellows. In the midst OF
his statements Hiram Lent and Warren
White. two prominent members OF the
church, rose and challenged his conduct
and asked him to confine his sermon to
topics on religion. He ordered them
out of the church, it is stated, and then
issued his challenge to fight three men.
Matthewson is a converted woodsman,
and up to the present time has been
very successful in the ministry. His
challenge has not been accepted" "
kilograms from Beattyville, KY, say
that John Miller, of Breathitt county,
shot and killed James Grees and wound
ed James NJ. Thomas during a fight in
a church on Fraley creek, Lee county,
Sunday night. Miller entered the
church, according to the report, and
announced that he was the best man in
the house. Grees and Thomas disputed
this and the shooting followed. A mob
formed to lynch Miller, but the sheriff
landed his prisoner safe in the Beattyville
iail.

Wed Daughter of Divorced Wife.

Yesterday, four months after he had
divorced his wife, Mrs. Bette Halifax
Woods, John Woods, ofRidgeway, New
York. married her 26-year-old daagh-
ter, Mrs. Georgiana Brownson, also a
divorcee. The mother witnessed the
ceremony, which took place at the home
of Bernard p. Thompson, at Oak
Orchard, perfectly willing that the
strange cremony he cOnsummated.
Woods and Mrs. Halifax were mar
ried three years ago in Rochester. The
courlship hid been of the matrimonial
bureau variety, carried on by correspoD-
dence. Mrs. Halifax was a Baltimore
widow and had three daughters and
and some money when she went to
Rochester to meet Woods. They were
married on the afternoon of the day she
arrived there.
The couple, daughters and money,
went to Ridgeway, where Woods is an
apple dealer, to live. They became
estranged year ago, it is said, because
of the attention Woods paid his wife:
daughter. In January Woods began
the divorce suit and in February it was
tried, with the result that he got com
ple:e divorce. The defendant did not
let the case go by default, however. She
filed a cross bill, alleging undue rela
tionship between her daughter anC
Woods.
Mrs. Halifax Woods stayed at the
Woods house after the divorce, acting
as hOusekeeper. She made no demon
stration when Woods and her daughter
engagement was announced in the loca
paper, fcur weeks ago. When he
daughter was joined to her former hus
band, she said to her neighbors: q
am glad they are married. "

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
More than 100, 900 Italians yesterday
congregated between One Hundred and
Fourth and One Hundred and Sixteenth
streets. the Little Italy" OF New York,
TO celebrate the feast of Our Lady of
Mount Carmel. They came from as far
east as Boston and as far west as Pitts
burg. From 80 miles around New York
Italians came on foot, many of them
barefoot as still greater penace. All
day was spent in semi-religious festivi-
ties. About the colony were scattered
altars of wood and tinsel, before which
Italians knelt in the streets, and ON
which many of them laid wax reProduc-
tions of fingers, limbs or other parts OF
the body, which their prayers to the
saint were expected TO heal. AT street
parade the rear end was made up OF
barefoot women and children carrying
candles that melted under the combined
heat of their own light and the sun.
Candles, many of them expensive I'M
portations from Italy, were conspicuous
parts OF the festival, and twas estimated
that more than seven tons of them were
used yesterday. Hundreds of pilgrims
from out of town we're forced to live in
the streets and 800 patrolmen were de-
tailed to preserve order.
