 'jcctcd from the church during scr kiccs.
 The trio, Alex krcnilli, II. Dudik, hnd J. K. Lomkowslli, attended ser vices yesterday morning with appar- ntly no holior thoughts in their binds than to scoff at the pastor, Rcv. A. J.

No sooner had they statrcd a dis Eurbancc, however, than they were |bcized by loyal members of the con- Errgation, who carried them to the Ecstibulc and threw them bodily |lown the church steps. The uncere- Fnonious election considerably bruis- |'d the already ruffled feelings of Ire trio, but left them bodily un- harmed
 The cause of the turmoil in which |t!re parish has been for more than a |Nnar lies in the fact that the pastor Fs in charge of the church trust fund, |a circumstance to which sevcnl of Fthc parishioncrs strenuously object.
 Led by kreniki, they have appeal
