V AN ENTANGLEMENT THAT RESULTS
) IN REV. L. F-SEEKS’
Withdrawal from the Co'ored Methodlat
Episcopal Church-A Sematlonal Con
flict Between Two Colored Shepherd* In
the Method let Chnrch.
Confusion worse confounded!
Sucb is • thumb-nail sketch of the oc
currences of yesterday in the colored
Methodist Conference, which is now ln
session here. Things looked lively for
s while, and no one would have been
surprised to have seen a few ministerial
scalps tacked upon the front of the
churoh.
It came about this way: Rev. L. F
Beeks arose in the meeting and exploded
a sensation by denouncing Rev. J. H.
Anderson as a “thief."
This threw the august body into a
spasm of excitement, and everything
was in commotion in a couple of seo-
onds.
“It’s iioifloral," ejaculated a miniate
rial brother in a stage whisper.
Taken to task for his lurid language,
by this' and k'ndred expressions, he
went on to enlarge on his assertion.
Anderson, be said, represented the
Christian Index and Publishing House,
of Jackson, Tennessee, and be had for
warded him *2.76 for books. (
This money was sent by poatoiiice
money order. From the money he has
never heard ono word.
He says he was convinced that Ander
son had not only received the money,
but that he also appropriated it v
Rev. Beeks encountered strenuous de
nial from his co-laborer in ministerial
fields, who asserted that he had not re
ceived the money.
Into the courts.
From spiritual courts he appealed his
case to worldly tribunals.
He appeared before Justice Oliver,
stated the cate, and swore out a war
rant against Anderson, charging him
with cheating and swindling.
Anderson was given a commitment
trial last evening before Justice Oliver.
Beeks made his charges anJ stated bis
grounds for action.
Colonel Blalock, attorney for Ander
son, offset ted the charges-by showing
that since the offence is alleged to have
beea committed In Tennessee that the
courts of Georgia had no jurisdiction
ever It; also, that no direct or clear tes
timony had been adduced by Beeks
proving that Anderson bad stolen the
funds.
On the strength of these legal points,
Justice Oliver dismissed the warrant.
Still the curtain did not drop!
The conference now soon had a finger
in the pie.
Rev. Mr. Beeks was atretebed on the
dissecting table and his conduct was
made the inspiration for some warm dis
cussion.
The conference seemed to direct its
most searobing inquiries towards him,
overlooking the necessity of first sound
ing the merits of the case.
This angered Beeks, who declares It
his intention of withdrawing from the
ministry and resting the justice of bis
cause with an unbiased public.
Such is the course events are taking in
the conference and some sensational
scenes are promised before matters are
finally adjusted.
Beeks says he will substantiate the
charge he has preferred and that he will
refer the whole affair to the arbitration
of the courts of justice.
“Alas for the rarity,
Of Christian charity,
Under the wa.”

.A Banquet.-
Sam Division No. 284 tendered an ele
gant and much enjoyed banquet to
Messrs. Dunnaad Vlileret of Atlanta at
Oak Hall last night. Wit, humor and
champagne flowed continuously and the
dainties were served only as Frank
Gardner knows how. Oak Hall is be
coming a most popular resort because It
is under the auspices of a genial, clevor
gentleman.

Congratulations are Rowing in. tidal
waves to Crisp's friends in Amerlcus,
lavishing encomiums on him and boost
ing him for president Capt. A. C. Beil
is in line with the people of Amerious
when he advocates Crisp for the chief
magistracy, of the United States, and
Amerious would have him elected if It
were not that he was ineligible, having
been boro in England. This fact, and
this alone, prevents his elevation to the
highest olvll dignity in the world. That
he will wear the senatorial toga It a fore
gone conclusion
Last November when celebrating the
Democratic tidal wave that swept across
the country, numerous transparencies
sandwiched in among the torohes in the
torch-light procession prophesied Crisp's
election to the speaYenblp, and he .was
introduced to the assembled populace as
-‘Speaker Crisp of Georgia."
The following is a letter received by
Mr. Bell, that speaks for itself:
Omaha, Neb., December 10, 1891.—
Captain Bell—My dear sir: Allow me
to oongratulate you on the eleetion of
your illustrious statesman and friend,
Congressman Crisp, to the speakership.
Long may be live and prosper.
My wife bas been alek the greater part
of the time since we left the springs, but
we still have hopesof her final recovery
We often think of you and join in send
!ng you and your dear wife our best
wishes. Yours very respectfully,
Duff Ghees,
Formerly of Tsylor House, Hot Springy
Ark.
