S. DKTXVHlbKIl'S Some of Them Opnoio and Otliors Do- inn ml Illn It can hardly bo said thnt brotherly love lirc'vollcd nt the meeting of the congregation of the Kountzo Mcmorinl church , which wns held In tholrclass-rooniThursdaynight. The meeting was called to pass upon the notion of the church council , which had demanded of the pastor , Hov. J. S. Dotwoller , his res ignation. This the pastor rcfuacd to nccedo to , doubtless acting on the ndvlco of his friends. The council of the church consists of Messrs. C. F. Goodman , 11. J. Penford , Dr. M , H. Croll. Dr. S. Lolscnring , C. P. Heftloy , J. F. Ilalln , A. Koch , C. . Schmidt nnd W. J. Reeves. The ilrsl six ot these gentlemen want lo get rid of Mr. Dotwoller , the others t6 retain lilui , Mr. Heaves was nbscnt , mid his preferences nro not known. Mr. Smith wns chosen chairman of the meeting , nnd , on asking the pleasure of those present , half n dozen people Jumped to their feet nl tlio same time. One of those explained the action of the council , saying that Mr. Detwcilor wimtcd lo run Iho church his own way und had ignored the council. This speaker wns followed by another , who said the church was having too much Djt- wellcr and not enough Christ. A third said the pastor hnd promised to mend his ways on this last grievance. Another accused the reverend gentleman of altering the constitution of the church to jilcasu himself nnd n few others and getting it passed , Ono more said In as many words thai this was nil humbug. An old gentleman , evidently nn elder. thought it would bo best for the pastor and the church , too , if a separation took place. It was then said thnt this feud had boi n going on for four years und thnt It was time to sloi > it. The council was next accused of running the whole thing into the ground lo avenge a personal , potty spito. The nest speaker assorted thai there were only twenty-live now members admitted Into Iho church for the last two years ; that the church was $1.500 In debt , and thnt it was allen on account of the perversity of the council. Someone then stated it was because the pas tor had , once upon n time , run a bazaar und missionary society lo suil himself , und had not consulted Iho congregation. It was nexl hinted that there were too many men in the council , nnd that at least Ihroo of tlip nine should bo women of the congregation. There was no motion before Iho house , nnd au Irregular exchange of likes nnd dis likes prevailed for some-time. At least , the chairman thought it about time to do some thing , nnd good-naturedly callcil the mooting to order once more , nnd asked Its further pleasure. The report of the council was then read. It called upon the Uev. J. S. Detwoilor to resign the position of pastor , nnd nskcd that the congregation sustain the report. A long and irregular conversation arose on the method to bo adopted when voting. Many were In favor of n vote by ballot , others nn open expression of opinion. The question was put , and an nye and nay vote declared the desire of the meeting. There was only ono vote cast in the negative. Several young members entered the room nt this lime and were not pleased nt the previous action of tlio mooting. A resolu tion to reconsider was made and carried. It wns next decided to vote by ballot. Those who sustained thu action of the council were ordered to write "ngainst Dotwcller , " those in favor of lilui "for Detwcilor. " The vote proceeded nnd was counted. It was llftccn minutes after the count was finished before the result was known , nnd then not before Mr. J. Hcduiim shouted. "No shilling the ballot boxes up there. " The result of the vote was that seventy-live of those pres ent voted to retain Mr. Delwuiler , nnd'lhirty- thrco to dismiss him. Of those present two- thirds were ladies and children , all of whom voted. Mr. Dctweiler , it is said , will , therefore , flll the pulpit of this church for some time , more especially us there is an attempt being made among some of the congregation to turn out the present council or , at least , Iho six who desired to gel rid of Iho paslor.

Mr , Sherman , from the committee on foreign relations , reported n resolution , which was agreed to , calling on the president for correspondence and in formation touching recent occurrences In the Island of Ilaytl , both ns relates to the state of government there and to the Hnytlen Kopublic. Mr. Sherman , also from the same committee , reported back favorably Mr. IMmunds' Joint resolution as to the Pan ama canal regarding the connection of for eign countries with the construction or con trol of that canal. The resolution was placeit on the calendar , and Mr. Sherman gave no tice that ho would to-morrow ask its consid eration. The soimtont 12:25 : resumed consideration of the tariff bill. , Mr. Vance moved to amend paragraph 823 freferrlng to Hamburg edgings ) by reducing the rate from 45 cents per pound nod 15 per cent ad valorem to 40 per cent ad valorem. In the debate upon amendment Mr. Hnwloy asked Mr. Vance whether there was any.nutlon which had an approximately Just system of taxation , nnd If not , which of the nations was nearest right. Mr. Vance replied that the system of tax ation which was nearest right , so far ns no was acquainted with tlieni , was the English system. Mr. Httwley That 11 aboul Iho answer I expected to got. Mr. Vuuce I see what yon call "tho true Inwardness" of your question. The object is that you may charge that wo are in the Kng- llsh Interest ; that wo are following the Eng lish system ; that we are loreigncrs lo our own people. Hul there never was n greater piece of hypocrisy than this nro- lease of dislike for foreigners. You only dislike foreigners when they bring something to sell. Hut when n foreigner comes himself to underbid American work men and taku bread out ot his mouth you welcome him with an open and hypocritical embrace. Mr. Hawley I have no personal reason for disliking England or Englishmen. I dis believe in the English system of taxation , and what I wAiitcd was to got one democrat , if 1 could not get nioro , to nvoxv frankly the honest purpose of that party , that the adoption of free trade is the policy ot that party. Not ono time in llfty , on the stumper or in the newspapers , were wo nblo In the last campaign to get n democratic politici.fii or editor to toll the truth m regard to the po sition of their party. An avowed free tr.ide meeting was held in Boston the other day , glorifying the campaign , glorifying tlio pres ident of the United States , glorifying every effort in behalf of free trade , proph esying a glorious future for it auit great progress to bo made under It.- All wo ask of the other side is that they shall tell the truth nbout the inevitable drift of then- party , that which the whole world knows ( including themselves ) to bo the truth , that they mean to bring the country to the adop tion of a system ol taxation that will tax only articles of universal consumption , practically a poll tax. Mr. Vance The senator from Connecticut says I am a free trader , nnd the policy of my party Is absolutely free trade , nnd ho bases thai statement on my answer to his question as to which foreign system of taxation I most admire. I told him the English system was the nearest right , meaning of all the other systems , but that of our own. [ Laughter on the republican side. ] I do not mean by that any approval of that system under which we llvo. God forbid. The democratic party of the United States has pronounced itself again and again in favor of n system of taxation of foreign Im ports which will yield sufficient revenues to the government , and it has never advocated any other system. That is a system which I prefer to the English or any other system. " Mr. Keagan also defended the democratic party from the charge of being n free trade party , The , debate wns continued at great length and participated in by Senators Dawes , McPherson - Phorson , Vance , Gray , Coke and Morgan. The latter commented upon the free list con tained in the substitute , and urged that the republican senators who reported and sustained it were protanlo free traders end were not Justified m applying that term to the democrats. Finally the question was taken and Mr. Vance's amendment was re jected. The bill wns then laid osulo. On motion of Mr. Aid rich the senate rules wore so amended as to include among the persons entitled to the privilege of the floor the president-elect and vlco president-elect. After a brlof executive ) session the senate adjourned until to-morrow. House. WASHINGTON , Jan. 4. In the house to-day n memorial of the Philadelphia board of trade asking that an appropriation bo made for the establishment of houses of rcfugo at Point Barrow and East Cope , Siberia , was presented and referred. Mr. Dunn of Arkansas then called up the Nicaragua canal bill with the amendments agreed to In committee of the whole , upon which the previous question was ordered before fore the holiday recess. The first amend ment upon which Iho you und nay vote was demanded wus that offered by Mr. Holman of Indiana , providing that nothing In the ct shall ha construed to commit the United States to any liability on account of the Nicaraugua company and requiring this pro vision to bo printed on every bondcortillcate of stock , or other ooligntlon issued by the company. The amendment was agreed to yeas 145 , nays 35. The amendment offered by Wilson of Minnesota providing that no certificate Bliall bo Issecd until at least 10 per cent shall bo paid in money ; thai stock shall not bo KB- iiitrnablo until the whole of the same shall bo paid in ; that no bonds In excess of the amount of capital shall bo issued until such paid up capital shall amount to $5,000,000 , , was agreed to yeas 102 , nays 75. The amendmcul offered by Hland reserv ing to congress the right lo niter , amend or repeal tills act , and lo regulate tariff rates for transportation of persons and proportv was agreed to yeas 83 , nays 80.

Mr. Hoed Immediately called up the reso lution reported bv him .yesterday irom the committee on rules abolishing during the remainder of the session the call of state * for the introduction and reference of bills upon the llrst- and third Mondays of each month. ' Mr. Anderson , of Kansas , raised thu point of order that the day being Friday nnd de voted under thu rules to the consideration of private business , the resolution , applying as it did to public legislation , could not now bo called up. The point having been over ruled by the speaker , Mr. Anderson raised the question of consideration , Mr. Hoed contended that the house having yesterday ordered the yens nnit luiyes on the demand for the previous question on the resolution elution , the question of consideration could not bo raised. A long and animated debate then ensued in which Messrs , Springer , Crisp , Hood , Hundall , 13. Li. Taylor , Cox and Groavenor participated , Tim Bpeakor said the question raised was nn entirely now ono. The general rtilq of the house was that thu question of considera tion could bo raised against any question called up. In this Insttlnco the facts were thnt the resolution had been reported ypu- terduy as n mutter of privilege , Its considera tion entered upon arid the yeas and IIUVH or dered on the demands for the previous ques tion.

Infantile London Tid-Bits : Many persons will bo considerably astonished to hoar how recently our social annnls disclose the frequency of juvenile unions in Eng land and Scotland. Wo do not refer to Ihose well known instances of princes and potentates being contracted in mar riage while still children nnd for grounds of state alone , bul to Iho gen eral ouatom in other classes to ns Into n dnto as to the last two centuries. Those marriages were not more betrothals , bul genuine marriages , celebrated "in the fnco of the church"andduly solemnized according to Iho book of common prayer. Perhaps the youngest bride on record in Englisn nnnnls was the daugh ter of Sir William JJrereton , who wns married in the bi.xtconth century at tlio ago of two ton. liusbnnd who was n year older than homolf. In this cihu the children were carried into church and their elders spoKe for them. But in another case , whore a little l > oy of three was married to nbrido of live , ho wns carried by a clergyman , who coaxed him to repeat tlio neces sary formulas , The task was nol easy , liowovor , as the child said he iiad learned enough lessons for Unit day be fore ho was half through , and wns only kept up lo it by the priest saying : "You mustspenk aliulo more , nnd then go ana play you. " In a further instance recorded in Lancashire the bridegroom was bribed to go to thu church by the prchonl of nn apple. Frequently the brides wore a year or two elder than tlioir lords and masters , as in the case of Vorgory Vernon , who in 160:2 : she being - ing nearly ton years old WUH inarrind : Q Randall Moi'o , wlio was but eight. Another record tellh of how Gilbert Oi.- rnrd mid Kmmn Tnlbol were married at Leigh church , when Iho boy's undo hold up the bridegroom , who was live years old , and spoke Iho words of matrimony ' 01 the oniid's purl , and the woman who wns not six years of ago "spake 'or herself as hlio wns taught. " Iteoems incredible Hint , during the reign of Henry VIII. , Edward VI. , Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth it wns quite customnry for persons of nil ranks in lifo to marry their children at astonishingly early ages. Hut the bishop's rigifitry at Chester not to speak of local records i n nil parts of England could testify many instances instaocos , too , among people anxious for the intellectual progruns of their dny.and among whom sordid reason 'or such marriages were not supposed to exist. William Clm'dorton , successively bishop of Chester and Lincoln a welf- uiown scholar and distinguished ccolo- sinstic of the reign of Elizabeth , ntid who wns notiiblo for the oncourngomont ho gnvo to mlnistors mid h.'s zenl in es tablishing lectureships nnil dally morn ing prayer did not scruple to mnrry hts daughter Joan , in 15SH , at the ago of nine , to Richard BrooUo , then nearly eleven. Four years Inter the marriage was rntilled as wns usual in such cases by the consent of tlio young people , the lengthy documents iostlfying to the rntillcntion being still oxtnnt In the records of Chester. Unfortunately tlioir early love did not devolopo into an en during love , and twenty years later wo read that the bishop had "no great com fort of that matrimony" of his only daughter , and that she was separated from her husband. Itbonietlmos happened , when years of cotihont were attained , i. o. , twelve for the girl and fourteen for the boy , that the child-bride and child-bridegroom disliked eneh other so heartily that they .refused to ratify the contract , and then nn action for divorce was undertaken and the mar riage declared void. Juvenile marriages in those day4s were always fortunately voidable , anil whcro it could bo proved that there had boon no renewal of promise , no exchange of gifts , mo.ssmjos or meeting between the children tlio union was annulled and each was sot free. free.The The divorce court was at that time the .scene of ninny appeals from the most useful couples until about the be ginning of the .seventeenth century , when Strype notes ttmt "the nation be came bcandalous for the frequency of divorces , especially among the richer sort , and one occasion wai the covetousness - ousnoss of the nobility and gentry , who used often marry their children when they were young boys and girls that they might join land to land , and , being grown up , they many times dlslikoil each other and then separation and divorce followed , to the breaking of es- pou&nls and displeasure of Ciod. " Quay's Scliool-Iloy 1'ranUs. Philadelphia Record : "Thoro never was u sharper , more .mischievous Mjhcmernsuhoy than Matthew Stanley Quay , " said a residoutof Western Penn sylvania who was a school mate of Quay in Indiana county. "I romomijcr ono of his prank.s that was as original as it was daring. In the rear of the school house where wo were scholars was a green , and ono hoi sum mer afternoon a Hock of geese were pasturing on it. Matt Quay bat by an open window that looked out on the groenaud as he watched the geese pluckingtuvuy at the grass , as onlv geese can pluck , u brilliant idcn took possession of him. Ho had a half-eaten apple in his desk und a ball of kite string. Biting a big piece oil of the apple ho quietly tied it to ono end of the string , and edging up to the window he jerked the bit of upplo. out out of the window. It fell not far from where the geese were feeding. "One of the Hock saw the tempting morsel , and waddling over to whore it lay gobbled it and gulped it down. In swallowing the apple tlio goose also engulfed - gulfed a foot or so of Matt Quay's kilo string , and Mutt at once proceeded to carry his scheme to snccesd by hauling in the goose hand over hand , dragging it off of the green and up the side of the school house , in apilo of tlio bird's fran tic struggles to got away. The goose was pulled in at thu window , and the next second was ( lopping anil wudling hero and there about the bchool room , trailing and twisting the kite string about the legs of a score or more of sur prised and frightened scholars , and squnking at the top of its lungs. When the scholars recovered from tlioir sur prise and took in the situation a roar that almost raised Iho roof went up from their combined throats. . "Tho goo.so was finally penned up in ono corner of the room and canghl by scholars and toucher , tlio siring cut , sind the bird dumped oul of the window. Matt Quay was indignantly bidden bv the teacher logo to the platform and receive punishment for his wild broach of decorum. " nurliiitoii Houic. NEW TRAIN TO THK WEST.
