A Row In A Church

St. Paut,, Minn., Sept. 17. - "Murder!" "Help!" "Policel" screamed more than ahundred women and children as they ran out of Westminster Presbyterian church at 11:40 Sunday morning. There was a great commotio'n inside, and in five minutes more tban 1,000 people had gathered about the sacred edifioe. A free fight was going on in the church in which everybody seemed to be taking a hand. Organist Joseph Sayles was pulled baukward from bis stool by Eider Jefferson, and 8sts were used with effect by half a dozen perishoners. Finally the pólice rusbed in and quulleil the disturbanee. The fight was a culmination of a quarrel between factions of the parish over the alleged immorality of Paster W. H. Roberts. The preacher was acquitted, but requested to resign. His ïast sermón was preached a week ago, and Sunday the new pastor, Rev. M. D. Edwards, took the pulpit and preached an eloquent sermón on the "Beatitudes." It was immediately af ter this sermon, while the Sunday school was gathering, that the row occurred. Henry Hawthorne, the brother of Attorney Hawthorne, who was horsewhipped a month ago by the girl aecused of intimacy with Pastor Roberts, made some reference to that matter. One of the opposing faction took exceptions to his statement. The whole oongregation got interested and the free fight ensued.
