The article contained some very serious allusions to the firemen and their conduct, as told to the various ministers. The firemen learned of the article and, when they saw it, became truly indignant, and demanded the privi- lege of replying in same manner, telling what they know and hear about ministers and their churches, in which some spicy paragraphs were promised, The situa. tion became exceedingly interesting and much feeling was aroused over the issue. On Wednesday a compromise was reach. ed by which the matter was practically dropped. From what we could ob perve the entire affair, though amica- bly adjusted, has indirectly benefitted all parties concerned.
