Judge Endlich Kendera a Decision in Zl oa union loaren cage. Judge Endllch banded down an opinion Monday covering elevev. pages in the matter of the trouble a Zion'E Union church, Perry and Jsor. The matter has been in equity iviurt about two years. There is a dispute as to who the legal officers are and in re gard to the rules governing the church.

"In January, 1896," the opinion says, "the lawfully constituted consistory undertook to prepare new rules, a ma jority approving them. On February 2, 1896, notice was given that there would be a meeting of the members to hear the new rules read and vote on them February 8. The latter part of the notice, for some unexplained rea son, was not understood by a large proportion of those to whom it was given. On the date fixed there were present at the meeting 35 out of a to tal of upwards of 325 members entitled to vote. The proposed revision was read, and thereafter 17 votes were cast in favor of it and 7 against Its adop tion.

There being dissatisfaction in the association concerning the constitution thus matter was re opened and a committee appointed to meet the consistory to consider the objections. Certain alterations were agreed upoa by this joint body and a meeting was announced for June 21, 1896, to take a vote under the constitution thus re vised." Judge Endlich then makes this do thi'orderi Charles H. schaeffer an D. I Nicholas Schaeffer are appointed mas cree: "For the purpose of executing ters: that the. offices of trustee, elder, deacon, secretary and treasurer are de clared to be de jure vacant; tha an election be held in the church building on October 2, 1S98, under the supervision of the masters, at which every male member of the Lutheran and Re formed congregations, who at the rate of this decree, on June 21, 1896, was in good standing, shall be entitled to vote for two Lutheran and two Kerormed trustees for the term of three years.

two Lutheran and two Reformed el dersfor three years, two Lutheran and two Reformed deacons for two years. and one treasurer for one year; no per sou being eligible to any of these of flees who is not qualified as aforesaid to vote at the election; that for the purpose of ascertaining who are en titled to vote.any person having charge of any book or records, hand them over to the masters for inspection, and in case of dispute as to the right to vote, said masters are empowered to determine the facts as to them shall appear advisable; that notice of said election, signed by the masters, be given in the church at every regular service between this date ana tne eiec tion: that immediately after it has been held, said masters report to this court the result thereof, and post the same at some convenient place upon the property of the church. The decree directs that the officers elected be installed at the service fol lowing the election, when they shall or ganize, and with the assistance ot tne masters, they snail compile a state ment of the lawful rules, under which this organization worked prior to February 8, 1890, and if a majority of them think revision is necessary, they, together with the masters, are to prepare them, and submit them to the membership, and the masters are to report to court as soon as the condition of affairs warrants it, when a final de cree will be made. The decree concludes: "That until the consistory to be chosen under this or der shall have been installed, the pres ent de jure officers: Peter S. Albright, Henry G.

In Australia divorces hiivd never been anctioned. Divorces are scarcely ever known to oc our in modern Greoce. In Hindustan either party for a slight eause may leave the other party and marry. In the olden times the Jews had a df dretlonory power of divorcing their wives, Divorces are scarcely allowed in Tibet Unless with the consent of both parties, Kemarrying is forbidden, Among some tribes of American In dians the sticks given witnesses of thonw tinge are broken as a sign of divorce In Cochin China tho parties dosirlng di vorce break a pair of chopsticks in the prosonco of witnesses, and the tiling is done. Two kinds of divorces are granted in Circassia.

By the first the parties can im mediately marry again, by the second not for a year. If the wife of a Turcoman asks his per mission to go out and ho says "Go," with out adding "Como bock again" they are I divorced. Among tho Moors, if the wife docs not become the mother of a boy, she may be divorced with the consent of the tribe und can marry again.
