A LONG C O N T R O V E R S Y Sessionand Congregation Bitterly Op- posed tlft Marriage of JamclKylc to • ' HisDeceasedWife’sSister.—The -"• Case Remained Unsettled . For Over. Twenty* nine Years. During the pastorate of Rev* Mr. Haney the trial of Mr: James. Kyle for marrying his deceased wife’s sister began, This case became the 'most important in the history of the congre­ gation and had. no, little part in the repeal of the rule of the church. The first action was taken by the session on April 19,1871, by temporarily sus­ pending theparties. They were cited to appear and answer charges on August 29, when the charges were decided not relevant. Two elders, one a brother to the accused, appealed to P»esbytery and that body Sustained the appeal on Sept. 26 and referred the ■case to a commission for settlement. On Feb. 6 , 1872, the commission was dismissed and the session was directed to report- k fho cnee in full to the Presbytery; Two other complaints concerning the same case Came up at the same meet­ ing. f>n April 23 the case was re­ lented to another commission which ' • reported two sessions'and favored ''ex­ clusion from communion," of the ac­ cused parties. On Jan . 28,1873, the session asked for an explanation of Presbytery’s action and got the reply • that tiro parties were actunlly sus­ pended. . On Jan. 25, 1875, the suspended parties asked Presbytery through •ses­ sion for restoration, , This Was consid­ ered on April 26 and refused. The Cedarvilie session restored them on August 24, 1877, and an appeal from this action was taken up to Presbytery . qu Oct, 30. This appeal was adjudged regular and was sustained and the record was ingrafted in the miimtes of session, on Dec. ,21,1877# This case culminated in a memorial which tvas sent up to the General As­ sembly in 1877 asking for a deliver* wee. The answer scut back revived the agitation of the question which had been regarded as settled in I860, and brought the whole question before the church at largo in such a manner that it continued} and gathered inter­ est amt became so perplexing that the question was sent, down in overture in 1900 to the Presbyteries, which re* suited ia the repeal of the rule by a Urge majority. . After the resignation of Mr. Haney various, candidates were heard, the rcembera of Presbytery preaching oc­ casionally so as to assist in the direc­ tion o£afiaifs. On April 22,1873, the ♦astoti called a congregational meet-/ Uj? for Huturelay, April 26, to take *teps for the moderation of a call. This meeting was iti connection with the preparatory service of a commun­ ion at which Rev*. I t H. Hervey, of bake Presbytery, was Conducting, the services, and who was very acceptable to the people. The call was duly Moderated for Mr. Hervey and was Pencilled to Presbytery, sustained and fon.arded to him, but it was declined hy loiter and returned. I t bad been «K*t hearty and fully unanimous an$ Pwnmed a salary of #1250 per an* stitii. Tim hypo that he would ae* ^ was cherished m fondly that bis deelinaturo -was :k great' and bittef appointment, Which served to de* the growing harmony and arcus# the hitter feelings of the past* Id 'ffefiag supposed reasons for this df* •i'Wwutmt’nt insinuations of a tart hitter kind were cast bask and Mb, until some of the member# uf kearns, thoroughly unpognata# with a large part of the congregation^ Finally the great body of the con­ gregation was determined to have peace and a congregational meeting was called to make the effort-to, ac­ complish that end. A committee consisting of three members from each side was appointed to bring ia n re­ port of a plan that would harmonize the congregation. They were not out long till -they brought in a unanimous report that if two mem­ bers of the session, who were named, would resign and get out of the session all the dissatisfied ones would come for­ ward at once and do their duty, The two men were present and showed no signs of resigning ■and an adjourn­ ment was taken for two weeks, to let them have time to consider.the mat*, ter, In twohvoeks they met again. This time there wasalarge attendance. Mr. Paul Kerr was chairman, who stated the object of the meeting but the elders refused to retire from the session and the congregation in dis*. gust got out of the boose as soon as possible, and in private conferences the members concluded to ask for their certificates. The session had a*called meeting on Jan. 12, 1874, ana asked Rev. H. P. Jackson to act as -moderator.’ The first parties to ask for letters were two of the- elders and their families and they were granted, then some verbal requests were made for others and they were granted, then a man man came in with quite a list of names on a paper asking for certifi­ cates and they were also granted. He had hardly left the church building when another man appeared with a list of fifteen or twenty'names to,be certified away and the session became frightened nnd called a halt.. They saw that if all farere 'granted certifi­ cates, that asked" for them, it would break up the congregation, Session passed a resolution not to grant any more, certificates till they had sought the advice of Presbytery which was soon to meet iu Xenia.. At that meeting held Jan. 27 a petition .from eighty-two'iuembers of the Cedarvilie congregation wa3 presented asking for a new congregation or a reorgan­ ization of the* old one. Presbytery held an adjourned meeting; in Cedat- ville on Feb. 23 to examine into the difficulties. They appointed a.pro­ visional session consisting of Austin McDowell, James Patterson, James gpenefer, James Bryson and James Collins, with Rev. R. Turnbull as moderator, to act in conjunction with the Cedarvilie sest.jn. This was done so that in no case would the congre­ gation bo disorganized through the resignation of all the members of ses­ sion* , The provisional session was in­ structed to “reconstruct” the congre­ gation hy submitting the question of adherence to each elder in turn, With power to dissolve the relation of those elders who* were not re-elected and, order a new election to take their places* dent of ,a Selina boy who -could .not lire a Hvery rig a t either Jamestown, 1Cedarvilie, So.

Nothing bill first class fare is honored on these trains and an extra fare of about eight dob ars which includes a b .rth, is charged letween' the cities* With this there, are comparatively few that can afford to travel on these trains. The new service was inaugurated Sunday and trains have been arriving on time, On the Big Four Wednesday a roan was killed hy the .Twentieth Century Limited near Albany, N. Y.

THE NEW RESERVOIR. GOES TO BELLBROOK* George Harper has been successful in getting the superintendency oF the township schools at BellbroOk, being elected by the hoard at a meeting held a few days ago. Mr* Harper has for two years taught school Iti District No. 2 and glvm perfect salt isfaction. He was re-elected for the thiid year, but resigned as he desired something better. He will leave Monday morning for Lebanon, where he will take up normal work and re­ view for his duties this fall* The new reservoir for the Hagar Strawhoard & Paper Co,, which is being constructed on- the company's farm west of town, is about completed. I t covers about ten acres and the hanks range from six to ten or twelve feet iu height. About six’ years ago the company constructed the first basin, but it is-notso large:aa the second. Mr Hagar says that his company lids the finest hnsin in the. state and we all know that Mr. Hagar never-does things by halves. He always leads* The principal feature of the new res­ ervoir is the filtering process, some­ thing not found iu the old one. The basin is constructed alongside a bill around which is an old mill race. In this race have been placed five courses of six inch tile cqvered with eighteen inches of first class sand and gravel. On the edge of the race wilt be con­ structed a rack to he filled with straw. The water and refuse from the mill will continue to empty in the old basin and thence into the new one. When the water rises to the edge of the race it will pass through the straw and then into the race where it will seep through the eighteen inches of gravel and sand to the tile and thence to the creek. I t is said, that by this filtering process the water will be per­ fectly clear and that there will be no offensive odor during the summer months. The work when completed will cost the company several thousand dollars. We are pleased to note that we mve an official that is takiug active )'arfc in a work towards checking -Sab- iath desecration, t)f late, or rather since the warm days in the spring, )oys have congregated in great num­ bers along the creek to.play cards. Since the hot days they gather almost daily, and particularly on Sabbath, at a point.along the creek known as. the “bend,” where they' spend the day swimming. At, times they have ieen very boisterous and Mayor McFarland has been called upon to stop the nuisancer^ LaBt Sabbath being an extremely rot day boys to the number of twen­ ty-five were at this point hud were raising considerable disturbance^-re- gardless of the fact th a t, they were violating one of the village 'Ordi­ nances. Mayor McFmiand, accom­ panied by Marshal Griudle and Offi­ cer Kennoh, visited this-spot last Sab- iath and were prepared to bring the crowd.to the Mayor’s offiqp, but they ;bund most of the boys were out of the water. The officers decided to give the boys another chance and the may­ or gave them a good lecture, which may possibly do. them some good, At any rate there is no more swim- ingin the day time, Mayor McFarland is* to be com­ mended in his qction of creating or­ der about town. He has since he .entered office been the means of dis- lersing Saturday night crowds on the streets near the railroad. In his work so far he can feel that he has the support of every loyal citizen, even though he he condemned hy the law-breakers. In the last election the main fight in Xenia was the election of a mayor who would enforce the law, for he ms powers that if enacted are of great benefit to.his people. Juet so with the mayor of Cedarvilie, his power is almost equal to that of a mayor of any city and it is only by the enforcement of the laws that makes him popular with the people, •There is/yet one or- two things that are allowed to operate, and particu­ larly on Sabbath, and with a little time we believe the mayor will, and we know he can, put a stop or close up, and in so doing he will have the endorsement of every citizen. , While in_ Jamestown .Tuesday of this week'we had the privilege of go­ ing through the Wjclcersham House of that town upon the invitation of the owner, Mr. Albert Wrckersham. The building has been thoroughly renovated, being painted and papered from the kitchen up. A cellar is be­ ing constructed under the building for a furnace to be used in heating the entire building. Handsome elec­ tric light fixtures have also been ad­ ded, Mr. Wickersham has one of the rnoilel hotel properties in this section and the citizens of Jamestown should feel grateful towards the owner for liis pride in giving jtheih such a lostelry.- ‘ ” ASK FOR ADMISSION. .

HEAD WAS CRUSHED. Farmers have been clamoring for rain and we fear the one this morning brought about thoughts that were anything hut pleasant, owing to so many having clover hay dowh. The weather report on Thursday gave a prediction for clear weather today and on this no doubt many acres of clover were cut down yesterday. As little rain is requited to spoil clover hay we fear the shower this morning will chuse great loss. But then, prospects are good for the best wheat crop in years and, with hogs and Cattle selling at such high prices the farmers have not much grounds for kicking after all. Even if the clover hay is lost wo hnd the rain. CARD OF THANKS We desire, through .the Herald, to thank Our neighbors and friends, who SOkindly assisted us in the death of beloved wife and mother.
