 As was expected papers have been served on Samuel w. Chapman, clerk of the Third Congregational church corporation, in a suit for $1,- 300 brought by the Rev U. DeHart Gulick, former pastor of the church. The case is on the docket for the 9th of January but in all probability it will be some time later before it is reached. Attorney Church is acting in the interests of MT Gulick while the church will have as counsel the firm of Burpee & Carmody. MT Chapman when seen this morning ad-, mitted that the papers had been serv- ed. He declared that the church would fight the case as it owes Mr Gulick nothing. According to MT Chapman, the former pastor was paid all the salary agreed upon and when he was leaving he was offered a purse of $50 which he refused to accept MT Gulick is in New York but it is said his interests in the city will be looked after by John Henderson, Jr, one of his warm admirers and who was much against asking for the res ignation of MT Gulick. When Mr Gulick became pastor of the Third church, the association was in need of funds, so he agreed to work for SIP week on condition that he would be paid larger sum when the legacy left by the late Martha Smith was paid the church. But MT Gu lick's friends claim that when the legacy was paid, he did not receive one penny more salary, neither did he get anything in the line of back pay. As it was placed in the minutes of one of the meetings of the association that he should receive a bonus when the church was in condition to pay. his friends think he has good chance to obtain judgment against the church. Mir Chapman on the other hand thinks that Mir Gulick re- ceived practically all that was due him. Tn regard to paying him a lump sum when we would receive the Smith legacy he said, the full amount of that never will come into the church When MT Gulick was re- tiring we asked him to accept purse of $50 but he would not look upon it. Later we requested him to send Us a bill for what he thought was due him, but this he also refused to do. Con- sequently l do not see where he has any complaint to make" Some of the members of the church are getting worked up over the affair, and there promises to be some interesting de- velopments at the trial. MT Hem derson when seen yesterday said he had nothing to say on the subject and would express no opinion what soever MT Henderson was at one time a deacon of the Third church but last July sent his resignation to MT Chapman because of the Gulick affair
