A SINGULAR CHURCH SCENE.
A Pittsburgh dispatch dated 23 nd Inst.,
Ajra : The people of this city are in a fe
ver of excitement to-day, owing to a flail,
cuff flu,hl which took place la the First Re
formed Presbyterian church last night.
Home weeks ago the congregation voted for
A pastor, Rot. Nevln Woodslde being
chosen. A. majority of trustees charged
that his selection was the result of illegal
votes. A majority of the congregation
were determined thBt Woodtiide should be
retained. Last night the quarrel oulmlna
ted In a fieo fight. Uoth faction were
present lu full force. Woodslde wanted to
preach, hut his opponents had another
cleigymiui whom tliey wished to preach.
Moth parsons waxed hut, and a sciimmnge
oocuried for possession of the pulpit. A
general fight, which was thickest around
the altar, then took place, and lasted a
quarter of nn hour. The police finally
quelled the riot, but not before a number
of people hud their arms broken and heads
cracked. The church presents a sorry ap
pearance to-day. Pews are broken, rem
imtits of broken glass, hymn books, bibles,
hair pins and bangs are strewn over the
floor. Great Indignation prevails in church
circles.
The Rev. Nevln Woodside was, until he
removed to Pittsburgh, the pastor of the
First Reformed Presbyterian Chnroh in
DuflloUl street, Brooklyn. He had about
two hundred members in his church and
he pleached to Btnall congregations. His
ministry was satisfactory, and his church
reluctantly consented to his going awny.
One of the elders said last night that they
bad given him a letter strongly recommend
ing to the love and a flection of his new
charge. He added, in a dry and humor
ous way, that the letter did not seem to
liave had much effect. Tbd Brooklyn
church, he said, would gladly receive him
back. The story which kept the Brook
lyn gossips busy about five years ago, at
the timo of Mr. Woodside's marriage, has
entered into tho trouble in the Pittsburgh
ohurcli.
The story, as investigated at the time,
devulnped iuto a very curious romance, In
which a young lady, with whom the preach
er was iu love, married a man nearer her
own age, who, soon after their marriage,
died. When Mr. Woodside learned that
she was a widow he pressed his snit, and
soon made her bis wife. Afterward it was
alleged that her first husband was not dead
at all, but that Mr. Woodside bad induced
him to leave the country. The elders of
the church investigated the different sto
ries, obtained documentary evidence dis
proving them, and were perfectly satisfied
of Mr. Woodside's purity of character.
The clergyman's friends allege that the
stories were started by thoBe who were
jealous of his marriage, and that they were
sent to Pittsburgh to cause discord there.
Mr. Woodside will be immediately recalled
to Brooklyn if he is kept' out of his pulpit
iu Pittsburgh.
A Meteor That Killed a Man.
Eakgas City, Mo., Dec. 18. The re
port from Netneba couuty, Kan.) of the
death of David Meisentlater, a stockman,
by being struck by a falling meteor, first -came
through the Tribune published at Sen
eca, the county seat, and has since been
confirmed by a gentlcmau from that place
with whom our correspondent bad an in
terview. The latter says there is no doubt
about the .meteor. Meisentlater was well
known and bis death is acknowledged to
have been causod as stated. It took place
on the morniuj of December 12, about
eight o'clock, and the sky at that time was
perfectly clear. It wns very cold, and
Meisentlater had gone fiom his house to a
pasture about five hundred yards distant to
drive up some cattle. lie was walking
towards the barn on his return, ' and while
standing about twenty feet from the trunk
of a maple tree was killed. The aerolite
which caused his death came from an east
erly direction, and first struck the tree
trunk, which caused it to glance slightly,
and in its flight it cut the upper
branches of the maple and entered Meis
entlater's body from below the right shoul
der, coming out at the left hip, and then
partially burying itself in the frozen
ground. Its course was ' undoubtedly
changed by contact with the tree, as could
ba seen by the manner In whioh the latter
was splintered.
The deadly missile is said to be about as
large as an ordiuary man's head and egg
shaped aud rough, a if taken from a hot
furnace and cooled in its flight through
space. It resembled in appearance iron
taken from a blast furnace and cooled by
rolling in snnd, and is composed of iron
pyrites. It was perfectly cool when dis
covered, about half an hour after its fall,
and lay not more than two feet below the
surface of the ground.
IW Hugh McGliuu kept a livery stable
in Ban Francisoo, did the hardest and most
menial work bimself, lived iu a loft among
the bay aud ate the coarsest food. He was
co close at a bargain that, when brought'
to his deathbed, be refused to employ a
pbysioiau, except on the condition of no
care no pay. He left $200,000 to his wife,
whom be had many years before turned
away because she bought a silk dress, and
who afterward corned a living as a domes
tic servant.
