Mr.|He Tried to Sct One of the Busi- Lomen as their Pagtor, Whereupon Some of the Mem- bers Heocede Altogether, The Baptist church of this ity seems to be In a pecullarly unforta. nate position at present, owing to » wide difference of opinion as to whether Mr. Lomen should be the pastor or not, A short time ago he reslgued that position to acospt the one of finanolal agent of Shartleff college, at Upper Alton, and Iast week he shipped his household goods and made ready to move his famlly to Alton, but his friends rallled about him and so urgently protested that he consented to remein here if they de slred him to be thelr pastor again. Many cf them clalming they would leave the church 1f he did not, & buz- inees meeting was heid Taesday ever ing to determine the qouestion, and from all accounts it appears to have been a rather lively one, thtere belng much feeling shown over the matter. A motion was made for Mr. Lemen 10 but this was oppored that the rules required that the preslding officer shall be the pastor, or in his absence some member of the church, aud that Mr. pomen I8 nelther, he having resigned the pastorate, and never having doposited his member- ship letter in neithor charch here, but had retalned that elsewhere. There was much lively dlecussion over this, and the motion was fiaally overruled, and another person called to the chair The frlends of Mr. L men offired a resolution iovitleg him to serve ae supply for the church for one year Thts brought the matter to a direct tssue and a ocountlng of votes. The motlon was, after some very earnest discasslon, carried by a large majority, the vote belng 42 to 21, When the matter was thus scttied, several of the 8. | prominent members of the ohurch asked for letters of dismissal, which were cheerfully granted, while others expressed themselves as not quite de- clded 0o what they would do, ex cept that they would withdraw their support, even If they let thelr mem. bership remain, and attend other charches. The minority who thus stoutly ep- pose Rev. Mr. Lemen's return as pas- tor, do not seem to put forward any objections to his moral character, but simply that they do not belleye he is the man for the place, and that thelr personal feeling s euch that they cannot work harmonionsly with him as a pastor. 1t 18 indeed unfor. tunate for all concerned that such a difference should arise. The church here has had trouble in the past, bu had overcome 1t, aud entered upon a career of ucefulness and proeperity, which promised great things fcr the fatura, I¢ {8 to be hoped that this new trouble, llke former oues, may be left behind as the church pushes forward in {ts course. The many friends of Mr. Lsmen can not but regret also that his return to the pastorate, so eagerly de sired, ls marred by euch a rontest. As acliizn Rav, Mr. Lumen has always been very active inall public enter- prises, espectally of a benevolent na ture, and there are maony outside of the church who wilijbe gladjon this accoun', that Couneil Biufls is not to o hiw He will now be on the grounds to push forward the hospital scheme {n which he has been eo actively interested, and there are ather enterprises for the relief of the poor and distressed in which he will also probably be proml- nent as in the past. ness Blocks in a Blage. The Apparent Intent Being to Plauder as well as Burn, About 3 o'clock yesterday mornlog some of those who had been out to the dance the unight before, dia- covered smoke pouring forth from the hallway between Poregoy & Moore's retail atore and the American exprees cfise, on Broadway. The Bluff Olty boys responded to the alarm very promptly, and speedily equelohed the flames, which were fouud to be at the head of the stair- way, on the sccond floor, snog to the door leading Into Justice Sohurs's office. The attorneys, Lindt & Hart ovcupy the next cffize, while on the other side are the cffisea of the express company. The fire did but little damage exoept to the doorway to Justice Schurz's uffive and the partition, bat the water, neceseary to put it out, drenched his cflize pretty well, with books, papers, ete., eome of which belongedto J. W Balrd, who has his (flize there also Taere wore very plain slgos of ivcen disriem, the caslog by the exprees cffizes having been whittled away and then lighted, with an evident Inten- tion to start a blaze there, but it failed, it was then started across the hall, There are fndications that a like at- tempt to set the bulldiog on fire was tried the night before, for on Taesday the attention of those in Jastice Schurz's office was called to the fact tha the door had becn slightlyecratoh- ed about a hole cut in the door for slipping papers through, The soratch then looked as if some one had held a oandle to the door and tried to set it on fire, After this discovery Jastico Schuiz lntended notifying the polica, bui the trial of a oase came on and the matter was neglected. It sceme that the only purpose of thein. cencisrsm was plunder. There is in the block a j 'welry store with a heavy stock of goods, berilos the express office, and other places holding valua- bles, and it Is deemed probable by many that whoever started the fire had an eye out for the possible chance of plundering.
