THE FIRST CHURCH. It Votos Not to Unito with the Michi~ an Avenus Peoplo. Fervid Porsonal Appeal by Dr Everts, Full Text of the Proposition of the Other Church. Arguments Pro and Con. A lnrgoly Attonded mooting of tho First Bap- Vst Gburch Bocloty was Lold lnst_ovonlng ot tho lemporary placo of worahip, No. 608 'Wl\:uh avenue, for tho purpose of taking sction upon a proposition for consofidation with tho Michigan Avonuo Baptist Ohurch. Tho pastor, Dr. Evorts, oficiated o Madora- tor, and the proliminary oxorciacs wero of ado- rotional character. Aftor o fow prayors, and somo little hymn-singing, D3, EVERTS . took up the matter of which overybody was thinkiug, and, baving choson a toxt whioh soomed to havo: no special relovanco, ho proceeded to say that thera was but one sub- ject ; any othor would bo an intruslon ; attempt- ing any other form of thought would bo & cold formality. Lot thero bo no forms, but let them como right to the n!:bjnut. Ha nppealed to their candor and lovo of ‘God, and ho wished to show thom that tho order of this church wag tho or- dor of God. Tho recont aotlon was ordored by God. Yosts ago thoy bad an aspiration for what bad boen dono, and ho regardod it as tho work of God, =n golemn and binding thing. After tho fira of 1871 thoy begon to look forward, and tho firo of 1874 was the fulfillment of tho prophetlo aspirations of yeats, Tho now locality waschosen with prayer, and thoy acknowledged that God had lad thom. In the mattor of plara for the building, the pas- tor's ideas were nndoubtedly correct; his hoart wont ont toward brothor Boyingtou; but an- othor golection was made, nud ho bolioved that God was with them in this too, His convietion was that if thoy wont back from this or- der of God they would bo judged snd punished. It was his conviction that he wos ruled by God, and that thore was but oue way. It waa too lato to ohango ; tho or- dor had gono forth. In his recont alsion to Banbalint ho only moant to say that the dovil was in tho world. The proposition to bold a council sbout_building maccly muant that (ho ohurch should not bo bullt, He could not stop for tho individual mombers whb urged it; hoe could not now atop oven for a church order, and this was nota church ordor. If tho great oxpotts of the donomination should como_along and order it, be might be staggered; but they would say that thoro should bo no change; that tho best bad beon dono that wns possiblo, Clurches pould no more bo patched up than the musclo of s fat mancould be cut off nud patobed upon n lean map, This would lead to inflammation and disordar in tho oburoh a8 woll as in tae man, CIUNCH COMDINATIONS tended to weaknees avd not to strongth. The policy of gaining 10 por cont financially and losing S0 per cont of thio cause and of tue peo- ple, was what this movoment seomed to Lim, All the church qunrrols iu the laud camo about In tho effort to patoch up difforouces and gotponce. Grand entorprisos, great liboral- lty, and progress and growch, wero tho peace- makers, Ratuer than adopt the now projeet, ho wou'd say, Tako the Uaiversity Oburoa; join that organiization, though [¢ would probbly re- sout tho idoa that ils peoplo could not take caro of tuewselves. THE NEW LOCATION vras the best fleld in Clicago prospectively, and Gud had chosen it. Ho would have tho Taber- macla ho had droamed of, oven if the siscer church wens down becauee the conhition was not effectod, becauso ho hellovod thero would be more power for .God in it. Tho upshiot of the conlition would bo, that part wonld go to the Michigan Avenuo Church and art to tho Univorsity Church, and the grand Pistory of tho mothos chureh wanid bo wipod ot forevor. It was too Into to take such astep. Ho Enow ho wns called too ploin 1n his maunar of speakiug, but he could not lelp it; he woro his character upon Lis eleeve. It was understood that the queation was whother they would ALLOW THEIR PASTOR TO RESIGN, Ho waa attacked by reason of his too conspicuous position. His distinction did not sult brotbren and pastors; but he could not lolp the disuuction of being callod Bishop, Ilo had besu attackod through bis faults of impulsivoness and impntionco, which gresw out of his tompora- ment. Hobad bad great ambition for his poo- ple and his church; their enlargoment was his passion. No man dared to say ha wus untruo or dishonest; no man's charactor could stand moro storm than his, His mother had told him: *Willism, never lioy" and he novor bad. But e was struck by his faults and the {aults of his brotbren. It tho pastor was n crooked stick, was it not cloar that somo of the people were s lutlo crooked? Thero ha con o wonderful illumination of caaractor of lato ; let- ters bad Dbeon written, telling technical truths, ‘but in reality lics. Tueeo people did not bave tho power to love a pastor fiftcen years, The foremost man of the desomination, Dr. Cono, of Now York, had sa{d to the speaker thnt there was nover & year that somo of his Deacons did not try to romove him. > Mr,” Bentloy horo asked permission to inter- Tupt tho spoaker. Dr. Evorts, waving him away, sald: * Allow me ; allow me. Mr. Bentloy managed to say that it was gotting late, and they bad businoss to transact. Dr. Everts promised to bo brief, and proceed- ed to sy that TIE WHOLE FAULT chorged was that of adminlatration. Thero was personal fecling in tho matter, but thoy might 2a woll aslt the Gonoral of an srmy on tha ovo of battlo to resign on the ground of personal feol- ing. Ho thought ho had shown that be could riso above personal foeling. IL had been waid that ho could move mto anotbor cuy, but counld tho church spare him? Baid be: *'Sparo tra- dition, the church history, but don't spare mo ; don't' sparo my_ sorrowing partnor, hig szed mothor. Dont shrmk from your dutys do it in the Providenco of God" He concluded by enying that bo was vuulncfl§ willing that tho wishes of the Bocloty should be expressed by socret balot, so that those who folt that thoy must strike tho tarrible blow might not have to striko it publicly, Ho called upon B, F. Jucobs to take the chair, and upon Brothers Sard and Bh:mwl’d to offer hriof prayers, saying that ho would then with- draw frowm tho askomblage. M. Jacobs took tho cliir, and prayors were of- fored by Messrd, Surd sud Bteppard, Dr, Evorts remaining on the platform memmvhile, Tho prayets wore' earnost aud touching, and thoro were many ovidences of deop emation through- dut the congregation. At the conclusion of the prayora DI, BVERTS WITHDREW, Eaying, a8 ho tock up his hat, “‘Poaco be with yon, and wisdom guido you,” Mr. Jacovs slated that he was merely o tom- porary Chairman, It wss movod and earried that Mr..Jncobs bo the permanent Chairman, r.

"I'he Chair ruled that tho poiut of ordor was not well takon, as tho Building Committco bad not reported, Mr. Stone thon moved that the Bullding Com- mitteo bo fnstructed to prosent a report at ouce, Tho Obair decided that this motion could not bo ontortained until tho othor moiions wore dis- poscd of.

Ar, Bentloy eaid that ho hoped that tho sub- ntituto would ot provail, and that tho proposi- tion of tho Michigan Avenuo Ohurch wonld bo entortainod and discuesed. Ho called for o ballot, and It was ordered. Tho Rev. Mr, Stowell gsked WHO WERE ENTITLED TO VOTE, ; The Chair etated that it had been customary for membera of tho churca and thoso in tho babit of worshiping thare wore eutitled to vate ; and this rule would bo contlnucd unless thore was dissont. S No dissont was oxprossed, Mr. 1luwking thought the question shonld be divided and action talen soparatoly on tho propositions involved, / The Chair ruled that the meoting must order tho division. 3 M.

The Chair said the timo of the meetmg should I:pt bo consumed by parlinmentary techmeali- icn. . ‘Tho demand for a division was voted down.

Thore woro crica of “*Go onl”™ “Bettlo it now!" MR, BENTLEY 8aid thero was a wido "differonco of opinfon on the subject, and Lo hoped it would be fairly and Iully discussed, The Michigan Avonus Churoh offerod to givo up thelr name and _thelr rocord, and identify thetmsolyes wich the First Church. It was a noblo, Christian-like proposition; it was no plot to oust Dr, Everts, a8 had beer sald by some poople, who claimed that Dr. Boono's dif- ferences with Dr. Everts hnd deopened into such intense hatrod thathocould plot for his romoval. As to tho financial aspects o}’tho caso, the offact would be to give them & ehurch fico from debt, leaving the old chureh pro!:lzrty. and alko the In- dians mvonue Dioporsy, o go on snd build at ‘Thisty-fivst streot would plungo the churoh into debt, whilo to unite with the Michigan Avenue Chureh would cut down expenres $10,000a year. It would meet with the approval of tho denom- ination, and advance the fntoreats of fratorniza- tion. He favored it on the ground of location. Ho did not rogard the acosptance of tho propo- gjtion as a diegraco to Dr. Evorts aay more than tho offoring of tho proposition was n disgraco to Dr, Ellis. 1t was not o_disgrace to sover tho pastoral relation. Dr, Everts’ splondid talouts and great proty would not lonve him long unem- ployed. Ho would be moro serviceablo to tho causa of Chriat and tho denomination af large it he wora not the pastor ot this church, it was engaged in 8 moro goneral field. But, if it was thought difforoutly, Dr. Everts could be chosen pagtor of the consolldatod oburch. Mr, Sard said that there wero cousidorations moto important than individuals. Ono strong church could do moro than two wosk ones. IHe did nov rogard tho matter ae personal to Dr. ZIvorts, nor that his withdrawal would bo o dis- graco, IR ADAX BMITI gald it was & money-quastion. If both oburches had all the money thoy wanted neithor would think of uniting,” It was a mattor of oxpedioncy sololy, L'bodifforences of views wore vory wide, and, if the mnjority should vote to uolto, thora would be many who would rofuso to joiu tho movemont, Jt would produce friction and irr- tation, sud bring about miachisvous rosults, 1t hud now grown late, and thero were orics of 4 gnostion!” and motions to adjourn, of which tho Chair took no notice.

Another oceurronco took place yosterday aftor- noon which shows how nttorly tho thiovos and doaperadoos disrogard snd plnce ot dofinnco the officors of tho law. Shooting and stabbing ftrays nre fontfully frequent, and the opinion ia gonaral that Chicago will bo tho sceno of much bloody work and erimo tho coming wintor, Thia latost affalr hns rosultod in itha dangorous wounding of ono patrolman and the crippling of auother. TIE CIBCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE are as follows: Yestorday aftorncon, botweon tho hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, two young rufians, knows as Mi- chsel Fitzgorald and James Johnson, ontored tho saloon of Matthew Myors, No. 437 Archor ave- nue, noar Ialstod stroot, nnd, after drinking protty frocly, bogan to flourlan rovolv- ors, and bosstod that thoy were ablo to ‘“olonn out" nnybody who attempt- od to interforo with thom. Whilo thus ongagoed Bigel Hoss, a cattle brokor, camo in and stood beside tho slove to warm himself, and oalled for aglass of boor. Fitzgerald obsorved him sud enid, *What aro yon looking at me for?” Hoss ropliod that ho was not looking at him. TFitz- gornd yelled out “You lo, you — ——, aud stopping to him struck Dlim In the faco. Ifess did not rosent tho blow, but nsiced tho ruflan why he sssalled him. Fitzgerald sbused bim in filthy language, and told him to go out on tho sidowalk, and he wonld “fix” him, Johnson and Fitzgorald thon wont out on the walk, and Hess went to the door and saw Officer Molnernoy coming down the avenuo, Ho called on tho latter to arrest Titz- gernld, and as tho two ruflians walked nway Me- Inornoy told thom to stop. Both of them pufled out revotvers, and, presenting themat theoflicer, Titzgerald oxcloimod; ¥ You —— ——, try to ar- Tout us nnd W% WILL BLOW YOUR DRAINS ovt!" Molnorney drew his platol and started toward the thioves, who went in botweon two buildings, and thence to an alley, and ont on lalsted stroot toward the bridge. Mclnornoy pursucd thom, and, just boforo rnuhinfi tho railroad track, Fitzgorald turnod and flred, tho shot tak- ing offcct in tho officor’s right leg, just above tho knae, inflicting & palnful flesh wound. ‘The rafiion firod agan sud sbruck bim in the right hand, causing & sovere wound. Notwith- standing bia {njuries, the ofticor fired at both fu- gitives, withont effect, and continued tho pur- suit, MoInernoy know that Ofcor Potoer Kolly was on duty at tho bridre, and as ho drove the vil- lains toward tho Iatter ho thought ho would cap- ture thom. Bat tho deaporato follows wora not to bo 8o easily takon. On coming up to Kelly ho attempted to intorcopt Fitzgorald, whon that ruflian fired at bim. Kolly dropped down whon the pistol wag drawn on him, and tho shot struck bim in . TIL LEFT BIDE OF THE NEOK, and passed downward ioward the lung, Tie was 80 clogo when tho shot was fired that the powdor burned his coat-collar, Tho pursued parties thon ran ncross the bridge, and Holly and Mclnernoy, nothing dauntod, kept after them. Tho first named ofli- cor came up wich Johnson, and that party do- liborately placed bis rovolver—a larzo, old atylo weapon—aoroes his left arm, and drow a bead on s pursuer. 'Phio triggor was pulled, but THE CIARGE DID KOT EXPLODE, and tho officor’s lifo was saved. —Mclnerney then drew bis club and dealt tho follow a hoavy blow on the head. Hastaggered, and the pluoky patrolman gave him s harder ono on the eame epot, thia timo shivaring bis rosawood batoa lu piceos and kuocking the villain to the earth, 1o thon seized the plstol in Jonhuson's hands and ocollarod his prisoner, whom bo took to the Deor~ ing Btroet Blation. A ; Kolly, in the meantinio, kept after Fitzgorald, who had obtained a good start in the chnso on dienbling his pursucr, Ho rau toward tho rivor~ banl, and there, finding William Mead, the mato of the schooner 8. B. Coates, in_& yawl-bont, rogonted the revolver at his hoad, and ordered = UNDER TAIN OF DEATH, %o senll him back across tho river. Moad com- plied, but, as the sequel shows, served him a trick which noarly coat him his lifo, and resulcod in his capture. Witk the pistol pointod at his hud{. Mead sculled tho boat into tho stresm just a8 Kelly roachod the shora, Watching a favora- ble opportunity, Moad suddenly withdrow the oar from tho water and put it betweon Fitz- gorald’s legs, and, by dint of a herculean effort, thraw him headlong into tho water, The rufilan sank with the revolver in his hand, and, a4 he camo up again, Moad snatchied 1t from him, and left him to got Lo tho shoro ag bost lie conld. Fitzgerald succeoded in ronching the bank just in timo to fall into tho olutches of OMcor XIar~ mon, who had been ealled to the spot by the noied of the pistol-shots. The prisoner, DRIPFING WET, AND ORESTFALLEN at Lis ignominious capture after go desporato an effort with the officers, went along l}nflbivol] anough to tho station, whoro ho gave the namo ?‘!

The ball bnd passed within » hair's broadth of the carotid arlery, but the Doctor was unablo to determiuo the rosult of the wouud, the bullet having buriod iaelt DEEP IN THE BODY and close to tho pleura of the lungs, Kelly was removod to his homo, No. 668 South Union stroet, ’xlh_uru lie was lying in & eritical and weak con- tion at midnight.
