Chicago, March 19.-The factional differences that for some time have existed in the German Evangelical congregation, whose church is at the corner of Noble and Huron streets, culminated in a general row.
Late Friday night a disturbance between the Esher and Dubs factions, one of which gained control of the church building and locked the other crowd out, became so boisterous that the police were forced to take a hand. As a result some twenty of the two factions, all more or less cut and bruised by sticks, stones and coal, are locked up at the police station, and the church building looks as though a cyclone had struck it.
