3IIE EEMGIOUS QUESTION' CROPS OUT
tEY CU5LE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, Oct. 10. The interment of Mr.
Parnell's remains in Glasnevin Cemetery
to-morrow will be one of the. most impres
sive ceremonies which Dublin has eer wit
nessed. The masses of Dublin, among
whom Parnell was an idol in fair weather
end foul, are certaia to attend in full
strength, while there are few towns and
villages in Ireland that will not be repre
sented. All the leading men of Cork and
Limerick have announced their intention of
attending, aud on nearly every line special
trains will be run on S-.nday, bringing
countless thousands into the Irish metrop
olis. As a rule the anti-Iirrellites show a dis
position to join in this last tribute to the
man who did so much for Ireland, and
large numbers of them will take part in the
demonstration. But those whj made them
selves prominent in the opposition have
decided not to trust tod much to the Irish
feneof decorum at a funeral. Tim Healy,
for instance, is not likely to have an abund
ant faith in that repcct, and John Dillon
would not care to run the ris!t of further
denunciation as a murderer by rampant
roughs at bis old colleague's grave side.
SERIOUS THREATS MADE.
There is a strong suspicion to-day that
the members of secret societies have de
termined to make an example of some of
the leading anti-Parneilities if thty cas get
hold of them. The outlook is one which
gives the Castle authorities some anxiety,
but it may be crocodile emotion, for a riot
among the rival factions on such an oc
casion ould be a grand Tory argument, re
assuring the English electors that theIrish
can never be entrusted with powers of self
government. Therefore it may be asumed
that if Irishmen want fight, the royal Irish
constabulary will not have an overwhelm
ing desire to spoil the sport
Mr. Parnell's Eister, Mn. Dickinson, says
that no will of her brother has been fonnd,
and she does not believe that he left any, as
he said that he did not intend to make one.
Phe thinks that he wished her brother,
Howard Parnell, an American, to inherit
his property.
CALLED DILLON A MURDERER.
A Mr. John D;or., M. P., for East
Mayo, was passing down Sackville, street,
Dublin, yesterday evening, he was met by a
rough, who shouted: "You're a murderer."
Mr. Dillon managed to pass without further
trouble, but 20 yards further on he was ac
costed by two other men, who approached
him, saying in a threatening manner:
"Tide's Dillon, the murderer."
Mr. Dillon says the men had been drink
ing, but it is asserted that the language
used was the result of secret meetings of
Parnellites. The situation of affairs is re
garded as critical.
An enormous concourse of people sur
rounded Walsingham Terrace, Enshton,
this morning, when the casket containing
the remains of Parnell was taken from the
house. There was a terrible scene inside
the house when the casket was about to be
removed. The grief of Mrs. Parnell was
most poignant, and she could with difficulty
be persuaded to allow the coffin to be taken
away.
v As a mark of respect to the dead, the
i blinds of many houses along the route fol-
I lowed by the funeral procession on its way
to the station were drawn down, and on
every side were signs ot sincere sympathy.
The casket was covered with magnificent
wreaths of flowers, one of which, in the
center of all, was from his wife.
respect for inn dead.
As ti hearse passed them, despite the
downpouring rain, the spectators took off
their ha-'s aud stood uncovered until the
last carriage had gone by.
A dozen carriages followed the hearse
from Walsingfcara Terrace to the statVra.
Alo in tee mounted procession nisa depu
tation from the Dublin Corporation Leader
sh'p Committee, sent to escort the body to
Dublin.
"When the train arrived at "Willesden
Junction a great crowd rushed toward the
carnage in which the remains were de-
f posited. As the doors were opened every
one reverently bared the head and stood
with silent expectancy, apparently waiting
for some leading Parnclhte to speak. It
was found, however, that time would not
permit of any ceremony. It had been
planned that when the colfin should be tem
porarilv removed from the car some dis
tinguished member of the League was to
deliver an address, but all that it was pos
sible to do was to uncover the coffin, which
isas lying in a case, in which it had been
placed for transit from Brighton, and to
form a lew of the people who had assembled
jnd allow them to pass in single file through
the railway carriage. This was successfully
carried out
TltinUTE OF THE WIDOW".
Mrs. Parnell's wreath was visible at the
head of the casket when the funeral train
reached Willesden Junction. It bore in
letters beautifully nnd artistically formed
of flowers, the words: -To My Own True
Love, My Husband, My King."
A dispatch from Dublin pays: "The fun

UNITED IRELAND'S PLEA.
In an editorial article United Ireland says:
It must be a day of truce. Tno battle can
be renewed soonenough afterward. Every
participant should consider himself respon
sible for order. Let not our enemies be able
to reproach us with frivtapfi solemn national
act a partisan character. Theprlnclples our
leader battled for will survive- Let us show
the world that the spirit lives in the men
whom he loved and led.
A meeting pf the chiefs of police was held
at the Castle this evening to agree upon
sucli measures as may be necessary lor the
preservation of the public peace. Con
certed precautions against any possible dis
order were taken. Every available con
stable will be on dntyand 'the soldiers will
be kept in readiness at the barracks to
night. Mr. Dillon's house and the office
of the Freeman's Journal are guarded to
night.
A Belfast dispatch says: A large con
tingent of members of the National League
of Belfast and the Leadership Committee
will leave this city for Dublin to take part
in the funeral of Mr. ParnelL The Belfast
contingent will specially occupy a promi
nent place in the procession, carrying a
huge wreath with the "Red Hand" of
Ulster worked in red flowers in the center,
and the words "Murdered" and "Revenge"
In red and purple flowers respectively on
the top and bottom.
PABNELT, AND HIS MOTHER.
Reports circulated in regard to Parnell's
alleged neglect of his mother have cauwd
great pain to his relatives. Mrs. Dickin
son, the dead man's sister, said in reference
to the subject: "Mr. Parnell was very
kind to his relatives, especially to his
mother. He was not a man whose affections
were easily engaged, but a truer friend or
better son and i brother could not be found.
"His anxiety for his mother's comfort
and welfare was always manifest During
her frequent illnesses he relieved her, and
he Mas always ready to help the distressed.
He was the last man to desire his support
ers to suffer in his behalf. I am certain
that his desire would be that over his grave
all differences should be sunk."
It is understood that Parnell' family are
opposed to having hi-j remains interred in
Glassnevin, for the reason that it is a Catho
lic cemetery. The dead leader's brother-in-law,
Mr. McDermott, telegraphed as fi 1
lows to Mrs. Parnell:
Charlie's lather Is bnrled In the family
vault at lit. Jerome, where Charles should
also be buried. "Wire If I may Insist on
this.
To the above message Mrs. Parnell sent
this answer: "Many 'thanks; arrangements
completed."
ST. LOTUS IRISHMEN MEET.
A Resolution Eulogizing Parnell and Call
ing fo United Action.
St. Lotto, Oct 10. Pursuant to a call, a
large number of prominent Irishmen of this
city met in the parlors of the Lindell Hotel
to-night for the purpose of taking some
action on the death of the late leader of the
Irish cause, Charles Stewart ParnelL The
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we recognize and appre
ciate the emiflent services rendered by the
late Irish leader, Charles Stewart Parnell,
to the people of Ireland and cause of lib
erty, and earnestly hope that all personal
ambitions and animosities will bo buried
with the great leadev, and that the people
and party will present a united and deter
mined front upon the question of their per
sonal rights.
SWINDLED OK BIBLES.
A Ylrglrjan Does a Profitable Business on
Stonewall Jackson Relics.
New York, Oct 10. Special Stone
wall Jackson autographs and Bibles and
other relics of the Confederate General are
just now a drug in the market A man
who calls himself Thomas Chancellor, of
Chancellorsville, Va., has sold in the last
week in New York and Philadelphia about
a dozen Stonewall Jackson Bibles. The
book dealers paid about SI apiece for them,
and will sell them for less. "Mr. Chancel
lor" said to the dealers that he was very
poor, and was finally forced to sell Jack
son's Bible, which he had kept sacredly
since 18GS. He would sell it for 51 and the
dealer could easily sell it for S25 or 550.
The dealers say ha is the cleverest swin
dler they have ever met in the book busi
ness. He is stout, about medium height,
with a florid face and sandy moustache.
Mr. Bowden bought a Jackson autograph
for 51 and sold it to a Chicago collector for
525. Mr. Bowden soon heard that Mr.
Hembree bad Jackson's Bible, and he of
fered 550 for it Then it came out that a
number of dealers had purchased Jackson
Bibles, and it occurred to them that they
had been swindled.
NECKWEAR AND HANDKERCHIEFS.
They Do Not Seem to Be Profitable Ac
cording to Reports From New York.
Eew York, October 10. Albright &
Stern, manufacturers of neckwear of 150
Broadway, failed to-day and the Sherifftook
charge of their place of business on a con
fessed judgment for 58,794 in favor of George
Selles, for money loaned. "Writs of replevin
were to-day obtained aggregating 519,000.
The liabilities are currently reported to bo
5150,000.
The failure of Max Silbersteln, importer
of silK handkerchiefs and proprietor of the
American Plush Ball Company at 259 Canal
street, has caused a great deal of excite
ment among the creditors who thronged the
Sheriil's office to-day putting in theirclaims.
The liabilities are reported from 550,000 to
S75,O00. It was alleged in the affidavits on
which the attachments were granted that
Silberstein had been selling goods below
cost
MELBOURNE AT IT AGAIN.
The Rain Wizard PaTlng tho Way for a
Nice Job Next Season.
Topeka, Oct 10. Spedd.--A dispatch
from Goodland says that Melbourne began
experimenting again at noon to-day on his
own account A new committee of citizens
was appointed, and before the rainmaker
leaves there he will be given the money
promised him at first in the event that his
experiments nre successful. Melbourne's
proposition to make crop rains next season
has been enthusiastically received by the
people of this section of "the State, and the
third scries of experiments was begun for
the purpose of giving additional proof of
his ability to make rain.
A committee was appointed at a meeting
held to-day for the purpose of making the
canvass of the counties which it is proposed
to water. Melbourne will probably amend
his proposition to make crop rains at 10
cents per acre under cultivation and fix
upon a certain turn. The committee with
whom he has consulted will insist upon
this.
A JUDGE STRUCK DOWN.
Attacked hy Apoplexy When on the Point
of Leaving a Court House.
Khw Yoek, Oct 10. Special Henry
Wilder Allen, Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, was stricken with apoplexy in
the county Court House this afternoon. He
had sat in court throughout the morning,
and was busy witli naturalization cases. Ho
finished his work about noon and then
started Jto walk up town to his rortms in the
!New York Hotel, with Judge Morgan J.
O'Brien. They had rcichcd the corridor of
tlie first floor when Jndcc Allen, who was
slightly in advance, begau staggering. He
is occasionally jocose, and Judge O'Brien
believed that this was a humorous attempt
to represent intoxication and thought noth
ing of it
Just in front of the Sheriff's office Judge
Allen began clutching at the air. His legs
gave way and he would have fallen if
Judge O'Brien had not sprang forward and
caught him. Physicians found that Judge
Allen was suffering from paralysis that af
fected only his right side, and was not
likelyto be attended with fatal results.

mob which lynched the negro last night are
under arrest charged with murder in the
first degree, County Attorney Mahoney
has refused to allow the release of the pris
oners on ball, and by 7 P. M. a large crowd

announced that none of the men wanted
were in the jail, and offered to escort a com
mittee of ten to satisfy them that he was
telling tho trut'x The crowd accepted the
proposition and the committee reported the
men were not there. This satisfied the

jail and taken to PapilHon for safety.
THE SWIFT VAMOOSE.
She Goes Several Speedy Miles, Dnt Doesn't
Equal the Norwood's Time.
New York, Oct 10. Special.' W- R.
Hearst's swift steam yacht Vamoose demon
strated this evening over a measured mile
off Milton Point that Bhe may be called a
marine phenomenon. The course she cov
ered four times was exactly the same length
as that gone over by Mr. Munro's little
steam launch Norwood on the Mcrrimac
river in July, 1890. The copper wire
used in measuring the mile on the
sound to-day was the sams that
Mr. Mosher, the inventor of the
Norwood's boiler, stretched on the Merri
mac According to the attestations of ex-
Serts who witnessed the performance of the
"orwood on the Merriinac, she made a
measured mile in one minute and 58 seo
onds. She ran between the stake boats,
marking each end of tho mile for two hours,
and her mean speed was two minutes and
three seconds.
The Vamoose, but for an accldent,.migbt
have covered a measured, mile in two min
utes and 20 seconds. She actually made the
mile in two minutes and 30 seconds, with
wind and tide in her favor. She made the
same time when wind and tide were against
her.
LOCATED IN A QTJAGMIBB.
That Is Where San Francisco's Public
Building Site Is Said to Be.
Washington, Oct 10. A telegram was
received at the Treasury Department to-day
from Mr. De Young, of San Francisco, say-.
ing that the property selected as a site for
the public building is a quagmire, and that
it will Tequire more that 51,000,000 to lay
a foundation for the building. Secretary
Foster said than this was the first
intimation he had received that there
was anything wrong with the site
selected, and he could scarcely believe the
statement, inasmuch as it was recommended
by the special commission charged with the
matter, as well as by both Senators of the
State, the two Representatives from the
city, and many others, whom he naturally
supposed to be thoroughly familiar with
the locality.
The Secretary said that tho site was se
lected mainly on the recommendation of
the persons named. Secretary Foster spe
cially added that Postmaster General Wan
atnaker did not recommend the site which
was selected, but an entirely different one,
on elevated ground.
IMPRISONED AS A LUNATIC.
A Tonnjr Brldegoom Escapes, Joins
His
Wife and Is Recaptured.
WilkeSbahee, Pa., Oct 10. Special
Charles McVitre, a well-known young
man of Guilford, K. X., jii6t across the
Pennsylvania line, and a young lady named
Miss Eggleston, -were united in marriage
secretly against the wishes of the former's
parents several months ago. A warrant
charging him with being a luna
tic was issued, and after an examina
tion he was committed to the Bing
hampton State Hospital. To visitors
he exhibited no symptoms of insanity and
secretly effected an escape from the institu
tion, returning to Guilford in search of his
bride. An effort was at once made to capt
ure him, and he was arrested yesterday by
Sheriff Kinney near his old home.
In an interview McVitre said his escape
was effected from the hospital by aid of a
metal spoon, w ith which he unfastened the
screws of a window, letting himself down
in the yard and quietly walked away. Ar
riving at his wife's home her parents at
once discovered him and caused his arrest

Will Borrow Money From Foreigners.
Waco. Tex., Oct. 10. This morning Dis

PROGRAMME OP TIIE EXTRA SESSION
rSPECIAL TILTCBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, Oct 10. The State.
Treasury investigation was given a new
sensational feature to-night by the asser
tion of Representative John H. Fow that
the stenographio report of the Joint Legis
lative Committee's proceedings has been
quietly disposed of so it cannot be produced
before the Senate at the extra session Tues
day. "Burke, the stenographer of the Legis
lative Investigation Committee, has gone
out of the jurisdiction of the Legislature
and taken all the evidence so far obtained
with him," was the startling assertion with
which Mr. H. Fow prefaced hi speech at
the meeting ot the Fifth.ward ex
ecutive committee to-night Mr, Fow, who
is a member of that committee said that
four nights ago he received a telegram from
Attorney General Hensel faying that
Burke, the stenographer appointed last
winter to take the testimony of the wit
nesses examined before the Legislative In
vestigating Committee had leftHarrisburg
with all the notes of the evidence in his
possession.
"The telegram further stated," said Mr.
Fow, "that he had gone to Ann Arbor,
Mich., but I am confident that ho has gone
to join Livsey, and that we shall never set
eyes on either of them again. He has been
induced to go to prevent Governor Patti
son from using any of the testimony at the
special session of the Senate called for next
week.
"I have long had my suspicions of Burke's
partisanship," continued Mr. Fow, "and at
one of our meetings at Harrisbnrg some
time ago I openly charged him with dis
playing too much party feeling. His ab
sence is not unexpected. He has al
ways refused to furnish us with type
written copies of the testimony
which he is required to do by
law. He has been ordered to get out of the
way with the notes of his testimony and
all. Time after time I -have requested
copies of our proceedings, but Senator
Flinn has interfered and helped excuse
Burke from furnishing them, and now what
I have long suspected has come to pass."
Early last evening before tho statement
made by Mr. Fow was known at The Dis
patch office, Mr. John Burke, brother of
Stenographer Burke, called and asked
whether any message had been received
from Harrisburg relative to the stenog
rapher's report of the investigating commit
tee's proceedings. When informed that 'no
such message had been received at The
Dispatch office he said there was a rumor
in the streets to the effect that a charge had
been made at Harrisburg that the steno
graphic report had either not been prepared
or had been spirited away. He had called
to state that the repofrttvas all complete and
was now in 'the office of George Handy
Smith at Philadelphia.
On receipt of Mr. Fows statement The
Dispatch directed its Philadelphia cor
respondent to ascertain if the report were
not at George Handy Smith's office. The
correspondent wired the following answer:
"George Handy Smith has no office in Phil
adelphia, and lives ten miles in the coun
try." Stenographer Burke, it is understood,
went to Ann Arbor the early part of the
week. He stated he went to study law at
the University there.

All Violators of the Law Developed at the
Extra Session Tuesday Will Be Summar
ily Dealt With Trouble Expected Over
the Rights or the Senate.
rSFECIAI. TEIEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH".!
Philadelphia, Oct 10. The Senate
meets in extra session next Tuesday, and
Lieutenant Governor Watres leaves the city
Monday for Harrisburg. General Reeder
has been iu charge at Republican headquar
ters during the past few days and will
direct the campaign until Mr. Watres re
turns, as Chairman. Very much interest is
shown in the Senate's extra. The investi
gating committee in charge of the investiga
tion of the Auditor General's and State
Treasurer's offices will meet in this city
Monday morning, bnt its meeting is likely
to be a merely perfunctory matter. The
members will adjourn to Harrisburg with
out delay.
It is given.out on the best authority that
the Republican Senate will proceed with
the work to be mapped out in the Gov
ernor's message, in the most vigorous man
ner, and any and all violations of the laws
developed by the inquiry are to be summa
rily dealt with. It is known that Governor
Pattison takes the view that the Senate's
duties, in the business to come before the
members, are analagous to those of a grand
jury. In accordance with this theory, At
torney General Hensel appears after the
manner of a District Attorney, with his
witnesses, to make outa case
"It really amounts to a trial on imneaeh-
ment charges," said a prominent Demo
cratic lawyer this evening, "for you will
find the Governor's message built on that
line if I make no mistake. There will be a
number of witnesses, similar to a case at
court, and on the evidence or statements
drawn out the Senate must request removal
of the Auditor General or State Treasurer,
or pronounce them guiltless of misconduct
or malfeasance in office. The question
about the right of the Senate to summon
witnesses or send forand secure documentary
evidence is a matter liable to bring on ex
tended discussion. Jf the Senate sits
as a jury then it has no power in the
premises and simply tries the case as any
other proceeding at law, and its function is
in the line of a high court of impeachment
If the Senate sits as a committee to investi
gate into certain charges, specified, of course,
in the Governor's message, it appears like an
optional matter to allow the Attorney Gen
eral any share in the proceedings. The law
is plain enough, but the Senate may deeide
to construe its rights in a manner not now
thought about The Governor, however,
evidently regards the Senate as a jury to try
State officials, and there is the interesting
situation."

MAC QUEARY TO POTTER.
THE DEPOSED MINISTER REPLIES TO
THE EPISCOPAL BISHOP.
He Denies That the Church Is Supreme
or That the Episcopal Creed Is later
ally Believed By Anybody Tho Posi
tion of Alleged Heretics Defined.
rSPECIAL TELEORAX TO THE DISPATCH.1
Nevt York, October 10. The Rev. How
ard MacQueary, in an article on "Heretics
in the Church," which will appear in the
Sun to-morrow, says among other things:
"In Bishop Potter's charge to the clergy
of his diocese, the Bishop is reported as
saying that there is 'a consistent and un
varying teaching of the church' which no
clergyman of the Episcopal Church can
honorably reject and retain his ministerial
orders in that church. We deny that there
is any such body of 'consistent and unvary
ing teaching in the church' to be found
among the creeds of Christendom, and we
challenge the Bishop to prove his proposi
tion. "He knows as well as anybody that for
three or four centuries the Christain
Church had no one common creed. Every
church formulated her own confession of
faith. He knows that neither the Apostles'
nor the Nicene creed, as we -now have them,
was formulated by the great council of Nice,
which gave the church her first ecumenical
creed. He knows that that council did not
define the nature of Christ's resurrection
and did not insert the article on the Virgin
in its creed. He knows that the greatest
diversity of opinion prevailed in the early
church on these subjects. He knows that
even Popes have since the Nicene period
been Unitarian and Pelagain.
"How then can he have the courage to
tell intelligent men that the creed of the
Episcopal Church embodies the consistent
and unvarying teachings of the church,
which they are not at liberty to question ?
Everybody knows that the power of the
Papaoy was largely built up by the influ
ence of the well-known "false decretals."
So far from the antiquity of a belief estab
lishing its truth, it is often a presumption
against it. Still, we will honor the Fathers
as long as their utterances are not exalted
into infallible oracles.
"Bishop Potter and his school no more
accept the literal meaning of the creed than
we do. They don't believe in the literal
meaning of the article on the resurrection
of the body, and yet Planon and all the
older theologians and the whole church be
lieved this article literally. The creed
clearly says our body will rise from the

A FEMALE FOOTPAD.
She Is Arrested After Having Held Up -Several
Fall-Sized Men.
Helena, Mont., Oct. 10. Tuesday night
Conductor Richardson Was held up by a
villainous-looking footpad about two blocks
from the State House. The fellow had two
guns in his hands. Thursday night about
the same hour and place Policeman John J.
Grogan found a suspicious character lurk
ing about and halted him. The thug shot
the policeman through the right lung and
disappeared. Three hours later, three
blocks from the scene of the shooting, the
robber,held up Mr. Ray, getting a silver
watch and some silver.
Yesterday a boyish looking fellow was
arrested while leaving town. The boy
Droved to be a woman in disguiSe. Her
pal was captured later and Ray's watch re
covered. The gill gave the name of Charles
Miller, aud the man the name of Henry
Clark. The girl is pretty, about 19 years
old, petite figure, a pronounced blonde and
is a Norwegian. She and Clark have been
working together for over a year and have
been operating all over the West. She has
held up several men herself. Excitement
here is intense, but quiet A large force of
special officers are being sworn in and the
jail carefully guarded. Nevertheless it is
quite possible that the man will be lynched
within the next 24 hours.
KEELEY PATIENTS FIGHT FIRE.
An Exciting Conflagration at tho Headquar
ters of the Drunkard Cure.
Dwtght, ILL., Oct. 10. A disastrous fire
broke out this morning in the rear of Kep
plinger's Hall, destroying fully 530,000
worth of property. George Kepplingcr is
the heaviest loser. He owned the hall and
other buildings. His loss was 810,000; in
surance, ?500. The Strufe House, which
was built this summer for the accommoda
tion of Keeley patients, was entirely de
stroyed; loss, 54,500. The Perry House
was also destroyed; loss, 4,000. The other
losers are C. A. Stuck, owner of the North
Star; J. Crocker, W. Rinehart, Mrs. Koeh
lein. The streets presented a queer sight,
drunkards from all over the United States
assisting the town people in saving goods.
The Bi-Chloride of Gold Club was to hold
an entertainment in Kepplinger's Hall to
night Had the fire occurred during the
entertainment, great loss of life would
doubtless have resulted. Although two of
the Keeley boardintr houses were burned.
the company had made ample provision for
patients.

THE RIOTS AT ICHAHG.
Authentic Story of the Outrages on
American Missionaries.
WOMEN THROWN INTO THE BIVER.
The Mob Burned and. Pillaged and

Was
SECRET SOCIETIES BLAMED FOR IT
Hon Kow, China, Oct. 6. The steamer
Paohua arrived here to-day with Ichang
refugees, 20 in all. They had lost every
thing except the clothes they wore at the
beginning ot the outbreak. Several bore
marks of violence. The riot took place at
broad noonday without warning or nrovoca
tion. It was carried out by a handful of
men evidently acting under orders in the
presence of a number of Chinese officials
who knew every one of the rioters.
Their mission of destruction was carried
out with the utmost speed. A crowd had
collected, and suddenly a rush was made for
a house belonging to the American Episco
pal Mission. The gate was smashed in, and
a man heading the mob cried, "Slay the
foreigners." The rioters came in with a
rush, and one aimed a murderous blow with
a shade at Mr. Sowerby. Mr. Sowerby
disarmed this assailant, avoided another
and then ran for his life, reaching the Con
sulate, from where he was transferred to the
"Pnhllft. Thfi Ametrinan "Xrissinn Tlftlise Was

sistees theown in the biveb.
The Roman Catholio Convent was next
fired and the Sisters, seven in number,
barely escaped to the river, where they were
thrown headlong down the steep bank by
soldiers. They were taken in a boat on
board the Paohua, and were stoned by the
mob on shore. Several Sisters were badly
injured by the missiles. It is thought a
number of children in the convent were
burned to death.
A mob armed with .knives and axes
rushed to the Consulate, but did not attack
it. The house in which were Dr. Pirie and
Rev. Mr. Deane, together with several
other buildings, were burned. Mr. Rock
burn's house was ruined and the new
British Consulate, in course of construction,
was torn down. Houses were looted, and,
although no one was killed, several at
temps were made to murder and threats
were frequent At the old Consulate the
foreigners kept the rioters back with bay
onets. The leaders of the mob carried gun
powder and kerosene, with which to fire the
buildings.
NO ATTEMPT AT TUNISnMENT.
Those havini? stolen nrortertv from the
ruined buildings were arrested" next day,
but no attempt was made to capture the real
intruders. Many of the rioters were sol
diers w ho had taken off their coats to dis
guise themselves. During the whole
time mandarins were present and made
no attempt to prevent the people
from carrying away plunder. That
no lives were lost is almost
entirely a matter of luck. The Scotch mis
sionaries owed their escape to the fact that
they had gone boating on the river at the
time of the outbreak. They hurried back,
and were just in time to rescue senior mis
sionaries and infant children, and escape
when the mob arrived. The Roman Catholic
Sisters barely escaped being massacred en
masse, several being severely injured.
Agin former cases telegraph clerks re
fused to send on news. A full dispatch to
the Daily Xeics at Shanghai was refnsed
without excuse on the day of the riot, and
all foreign messages the day after. On the
third day, when all possible damage had
been done, the military mounted guard
over the blackened ruins.
FURTHER ACTION AOAIN8T FOREIGNERS.
In Han Kow things are stirring again.
Yesterday there was a gathering of the anti
foreign element here, including a large
number of magistrates and officials. They
resolved that foreigners must be driven im
mediately from the central provinces. The
missions at Wuchang have received
threatening placards ordering them to leave
at once or they will be exterminated. The
Tastai inspected the nunnery to-day, mak
ing search for bones, eyes, etc., of children
said to have been murdered by the sisters.
A dispatch from Shanghai, dated Septem
ber 12, is as follows: The North China
Daily Xeics says:
There are points about the Ichang riot of
serious Importance. It is in no sense the
work of a mob. There was Indeed a pretext
in the shape of a child said to have been
kidnaped on the day of the riot, bnt this
evidently is merely a subterfuge in
order to give the shadow of an excuse for
tho outbreak. Evidences that the riot
was directed and carried out by soldiers are
only too numerous. There were people in
authority who restrained the outbreak in
certain directions and fostered it in
others. The Chinese Brigadior General
at Ichang is a great friend of for
eigners, but he was helpless in the
Sresence of an order evidently come to his
nnan soldiers to destroy all foreign prop
erty thoy could on that day. Where no gun
boat can go the position of foreigners, unless
in numbers, is very insecure. When soldiers
get orders from their secret leaders they
care nothing for their officers, and the ce&.
tral government Is powerle9i. Theie will bo
no security for foreign life or property in
China unless tho rebellious secret Hunanese
are suppressed by force.
EXCITEMENT OVER FITZSIMM0NS.
The People of Braddock Had a Bad Case of
Rattles Last Night
Braddock, Oct 10. Special It has all
along been imagined by some that Murderer
Fitzsimmons was located in this city, and
to-night this idea amounts almost to a craze.
At 11 o'clock to-night little bands of citi
zens were scouring the hills for the fugitive,
while every point of exit in the town was
being watched. This afternoon some boys
said they had seen a quecr-loooking man
under the platform of the station, but no
attention was paid to their statements. This
evening, however, three women nearing the
Pennsylvania station, saw a man whom they
believe to be tha very picture of
Fitzsimmons, peering out at them from a
space beneath the building. Officers
were notified, and searching the space under
the station, found an old crate in which
somebody had evidently been sleeping regu
larly, an old pair of overshoes and a book.
About fie time the man escaped from be
neath the station, a man answering to his
description, and wearing a false beard, ran
into the rear of the house ot Robert Harris,
and asked Mrs. Harris to shelter him until
his pursuers passed. The door was closed
in his face, and he ran toward Sixth street,
where he was lost to sight
It is believed by Fitzsimmons frie'hds here
that he will never leave the vicinity until
Mrs. Clark and his wife are safely out of the
clutches of the law. H6 has many close and
secret friends in Mifflin township, and all
ferries are being closely watched, as the
police intend locating the mysterious fugi
tive, whether it be Fitzsimmons or not.
FAST RAILROAD RUN.
A millionaire Speeds an Engine at Less
Than a Mile a Minute.
Lebanon, Pa., Oct 10. Special
Robert Coleman, the millionaire iron manu
facturer of Cornwall, this county, demon
strated the other day that it is not always
necessary to be graduated from a fireman to
become a successful locomotive engineer.
With hisown hand on the trottle, in an
engine with one passenger car attached, he
made a remarkable run on the Cornwall and
Lebanon Railroad, owned by himself, from
Colebrook to Bellaire, over the Lancaster
border, a distance of four and eight-tenths
miles, in exactly four minutes.
The average rate of speed was 60 seconds
to the mile, the fastest ever attained on the
road. There were aboard with him R. B.
Gordon, General Freight and Passenger
Agent: E. W. Ash, Dispatcher, L. R.
Crowell, Chief Engineer, and A. Hess.
PIERCED TO THE BRAIN.
TLRRIBLE RESULT OF BLASTING A
TREE WITH DXNA3UTE.
A Splinter of Wood Forced Through a
Slan'n Skull Into His Brain It Is Pnlled
Out and Death Follows The Difficult
Operation.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10. Sptdai. At
the Presbyterian Hospital to-day the phy
sicians were confronted with one of the
most peculiar cases known in the annals of
accident sugery. It was that of Charles
Buckley, who was brought to the institution
shortly after noon with a splinter of wood,
about four inches long and one inch in
diameter, sticking in his brain, having been
forced through the skull by the premature
explosion of a dynamite cartridge. Buckley
died a few hours" after the accident.
Buckley was employed to fell two trees,
which were an obstruction to the lawn of
D. M. Hess. He was told to chop up the
trees after felling them, but instead he en
deavored to economize his strength by
blasting the trunk." He was an experienced
quarryman and knew how to use dynamite
on rocks, but evidently failed to calculate
the lessened resistance offered by the wood.
He accordingly bored a hole in the trunk.
