TO ROAST DR. PARK
Indications That New York Presbytery
Is Tanning Coals of Criticism.
IT IS AXOTHEK UK. BKIGGS CASE
The Social Reformer's Insinuations That
the Influence of Tuinmnny Ixtended
to and Into the Presbyterian
Church May Cause Trouble.
New York, March 10. Dr. Charles II.
Parkhurst la to be the subject of spe
cial attention at tomorrow's session of
the New York presbytery and In a man
ner that may lead to proceeding" as
complicated and prolonged as those
that originated exactly four years ago
in the name of Charles A. Itriggs.
Plans are now forming to give lr.
Parkhurst a scorching over the coals of
criticism respecting his conduct toward
brethren In the ministry. If these
plans are followed out, as they give
promise of being, there Is likely to be as
great public Interest In the proceedings
of the Presbyterian church for the next
few years as was created by Dr. Park
hurst's friend and sympathizer, Dr.
Briggs.
Trouble has been preparing for Dr.
Parkhurst ever since his strictures ut
tered In the pulpit and published in the
New York Tribune upon the tlnanclul
Integrity and business honor of the
New York presbytery In relation to the
sates of the abandoned church of Sea
and Land.
The particular remark of Dr. Park
hurst on this subject, at which um
brage was taken by the New York min
isters, Is thus quoted: "You know that
I have been censured by my brethren of
the New York presbytery, but I tell
you that I am prepared to fight Tam
many wherever I find It" meaning
that the ubiquitous Influence of Tam
many hall has asserted itself against
him to such an extent as to cause the
New York presbytery to violate Its
solemn engagements In order to sub
vert the Influence of Dr. Parkhurst and
his church In Madison square. Dr.
Parkhurst may have an opportunity to
explain this and other like remarks on
the same subjects tomorrow afternoon
In speaking to resolutions which will
probably be offered when the presby
tery assembles In the lecture room of
the First Presbyterian church.
Public Interest In the Case.
Public Interest In the proposed action
Js Increased by reason of the near
approach of the Presbyterian general
assembly which meets at Pittsburg
next May. By reason of Dr. Park
hurst's singular fame as a leader In
Nfw York City's social and political re
form movement, has arisen In the west
a desire to make him moderator of the
body. The recent vote of approval of
his extraordinary course in New York
Presbytery is regarded as a first step
In that direction.
It Is believed that Dr. Parkhurst's
nomination would awaken an enthus
iasm at Pittsburg that would beat
down the old barrier of Brlggs and
Antl-Briggs, which havfc stood for three
(successive general assemblies and cause
his unanimous election as moderator.
What effect the action of tomorrow will
have on these plans would seem to de
pend upon the adotion and projection of
the resolutions of censure which are
to be offered in his name.
FRAL'D OF A DOCTOR.
Frighten! Many People Into Letting Him
Vaccinate Them.
Sedalia, Mo., March 10. An Imposi
tion was practiced yesterday upon the
citizens of Ottervllle, thirteen miles
east of this city, by a sharper, who rep
resented himself to be a physician and
a member of the Sedalia board of
health. The alleged doctor said that
smallpox had become epidemic In Se
dalia, and that he had been directed to
visit all the towns In the county and
vaccinate the people.
He was well supplied with vaccine
points, and he vaccinated a large num
ber of persons at a dollar each. After
filling his pockets with silver he took
an east-bound train. The Ottervllle
folks, after learning that there was not
a case of smallpox in Sedalia and that
the doctor was a fraud, were highly In
dignant. DROVE IIF.R HUSBAND AWAY.

liURCLARS 15AFFLED.
Pcspcrutu Attempt to Loot a lluuk at
Krle.
Erie, Pa., March 10. Burglars made
a desperate attempt to loot the bank
ing house of U. S. Buttles, In Ulrurd,
near this city, at an early hour this
morning. They entered u large library
building adjoining the bank and dug
a hole through the wall, but failed to
strike the vault. They next attucked
the wall at the side of the vault with
dynamite.
When the bunk officers reached the
bank the robbers were within a brick
of the Interior of the vault. A brisk
tight and hurried retreat got the three
burglars to a passing train on which
they escaped.
RIGHT WHALE CAPTIBED.
Nuliunt Comes to the trout ith the Dig-
gest Fish Story of the Seuson-lucluding
lliruiu Snulu's Hurpooa.
Boston, March 10. A light whale
about seventy-five feet In length and
evidently an old settler, was killed off
Nuhunt yesterday by a picked crew of
experienced men made up In Nuhant
for the purpose.
The whaling party sighted the mon
ster about a quarter of a mile off shore
and proceeding cautiously were able to
get near enough to strike him Just be
hind the head with a harpoon. The
whale suddenly slung, threw up his
huge tall and disappeared In a whirl
pool of green water. To the harpoon
was fastened about thirty fathoms of
line, on the end of which was a stout
cask. This was thrown overboard, and
In a moment It was whisked out of
sight by the whale In his efforts to es
cape. The whale came to the surface about
a mile from where he had gone down,
swimming round and round, seeming
to have the twine wound around him.
The hunters lay off and watched his
struggles, which made the waters boll.
After a while he quieted down so that
the men were able to get within ten
yards of him and put a charge of slugs
Into his head from an old fashioned
flint lock and duck gun that soon hud
him floating belly up and stone dead.
The body was then towed to a point
near Little Nahant beach, from which
point it Is the intention to tow It as
close in shore as possible. The whale
Is evidently an old one. Deeply Im
bedded In his back was an ancient har
poon, badly rusted, with the Inscrip
tion. "Hiram K. Swain1, Nantucket,

KEEPING 1I1S SECRET.
A Quebec I lajksmilh Claims to Uavo a
Process for Tempering Aluminum His
Interests Carefully Guarded by the
Catholic Church.
Quebec, March 10. Concerning the
report that V. Allard, the Levis black
smith, who re-discovered, three years
ago, the lost Egyptian art of hardening
copper, has discovered a process of tem
pering aluminum so as to give It tlv
hardness of Iron, It may be said that
there Is no doubt that Allard Is in pos
session of the process for hardening
soft metals, and If It can be success
fully applied on a large scale at not
too great a cost Its value to the me
chanical world Is beyond estimate. Al
lard Is a very difficult man to deal with.
His process Is a secret, and Is likely to
remain one unless some one can be
found venturesome enough to count
out a million or so of dollars In hard
cash before receiving the secret.
Allard Is now an old man, and as It
Is doubtful whether he has made any
one a repository of his secret It may
yet dh; with him, for he appears ob
stinately determined upon his terms,
as he showed in dealing with those who
were anxious to secure his copper pro
cess. Interviewing him Is out of the
question. He Is a devout Catholic, and
the ecclesiastical authorities are care
fully guarding his Interests.

DIXON WILL BRANCH OUT.
Tho .Sensational Minister Will Establish
a Now Church. ' '
New York, March 10. For a long
time past there have been dissensions
among the members of the Twenty
third Street Baptist church, due to the
objection of tho more conservative
members of the congregation to the
"sensational" character of the sermons
preached during the lust Ave years by
the pastor, Rev. Thomas i)lxon, Jr.
This morning Mr. Dixon announced
his determination to severhls connec
tion with the church and to found a
now one on a broad and popular plat
form, Mr. Dixon read his resignation
to his congregation, many portions of
which were loudly applauded by the
votaries of the retiring pustor.
In referring briefly to the clroum
stances which prompted his resignation
Mr. Dixon said: "I shall establish a
new church; there will be only one creed
In it. belief In the Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe It to be a more Important part
of my life to lift many men out of the
ditch than to spend my time In making
a few men Baptists. Mr. Dixon's resig

An Allegheny School Teacher Enticed to
on Out of the way House and Kept Pris
oner for Several Weeks,
Cincinnati, O., March 10.-.A special
from Falrmount, W. Va., says: A local
paper yesterday printed the following:
During the early part of December,
Miss Emma Huston, a teacher In the
Allegheny City public schools, adver
tised In the Pittsburg papers for a sit
uation as a painter of photogarphs or
a tutor in drawing and was answered
by a man giving the name of Mahlon C.
Stephens, who represented himself as
a prominent and wealthy farmer, some
thing of an amatuer photographer, hav
ing a wife and children and living near
this city. Stephens added that besides
having a large number of photographs
which he wanted printed, he was de
sirous of employing an instructor for
his children, he offered tho young lady
as salary $j0 a month and board.,
Miss Huston decided to accept the
proposition, und left home on Dec. 26
fur Little Falls, a small station between
here and Morgantown, where her em
ployer was to meet her and escort her
to his home, three miles distant. Upon
reaching the station, Stephens was
there, but had no conveyance and had
to borrow a horse. The couple finally
reached a small house which Stephens
said was his home. Upon going In
Miss Huston found It uninhabited,
Stephens excusing the absence of his
family by saying they were away over
night, but would return In the morning.
Stephens put the horse away and re
turned to the house, where, at the point
of a revolver, he maltreated the girl
and where for several weeks he kept
her a prisoner, tying her with a rope
when hejeft the building and threaten
ing to kill her if she made an outcry.
When the roads became passable,
probably fearing discovery, he took her
to Clinton Furnace, pressing ft revolver
at her side as they passed person.1) or
residences on the road. There he kept
her one night, after whl4h she managed
during his temporary absence to sever
the rope and escape, reaching a house
In a pitiful condition, the rope still
around her waist.
The girl said that Stephens had taken
$17, all the money she had, besides being
In possession of her trunk. She was
taken to Morgantown, her father and
brother wired for, and a warrant sworn
out for Stephens, but when the officers
reached his home he had fled. It being
reported that he had tuken to the
mountains of Preston county, where a
search la now being made for him.
Stephens Is a widower, having no fam
ily at all, and his entire story to the
girl was a myth.

HARRY HAYWARD'S STORY
The Condemned Murderer Consents
to an Interview.
IS PREPARED FOR THE WORST
Thinks Fully Eight of Ilia Ten Chances
for Living Am Uone-IIas Taken
Things Philosophically Bllxt
Has tho Nerve.
Minneapolis, March 10. The Hay
ward trlul Is still occupying public at
tention to a very lurge extent. The
chances of an order for a new trial from
the Supreme court are being dlscusHed
and there Is a very general opinion
that the verdict will Btund. Yesterday
Harry Hayward consented to be Inter
viewed, talking freely concerning the
verdict and other matters connected
with his case. Asked If the verdict
was as he hud expected, he said:
"Well, yes, I think I hud about made
up my mind the Jury would render
Buch a verdict. After listening to all
the evidence that wa brought against
me I hardly saw how the Jury could do
otherwise. But In spite of my being
found guilty, I am Innocent," he said,
with more warmth than he has yet
shown, "though I suppose the public at
large will never believe It."
"Have you given up ull hope?"
"Well, yes, Just about, und yet not
entirely. You see I look upon this
mutter Just us a gambler would. Be
fore the jury brought In It? verdict I
considered I had Just about ten chances
of winning but now I consider fully
eight of them are gone. I don't think
there Is much of a show for me now.
My only hopes are that the conscience of
some of those In this conspiracy will go
back on them -und cause them to tell
the truth finally, and the only man from
whom I expect anything Is Bllxt, I
don't know though," musingly, "He's
got a terrible nerve, you might bring
all the preachers in the world In front
of him and start hell fire Itself under
neath him and yet he would only laugh
at you."
"Ydu are prepared for the worst then,
are you, Harry?"
"Yes," with a smile, "I am. They
talk about my having so much 'nerve'
in this case. I don't consider that I
have used very much nerve. I have
not braced myself against anything. I
have simply taken things phllosphlcally
as they come, knowing there was no
help for them until the truth should
come out. And so I shall look at It up
to the end."

FAMOUS WHALING HARK.
The Stamboul Is to Be Broken I pat Sun
1 runclKco.
San Francisco, March 10. The old
whaling bark Stamboul will go to the
Arctic no more. Her owners have de
cided to break her up for Junk. The
Stamboul was built in 1843 at Medford,
Mass., and was one of the pioneers of
the California whaling fleet. She is one
of the old style square sterned and
blunt-bowed vessels and was a great
hunter in her day.
Her captain used to boast a record of
600 whales as the Stamboul's total
catch, and doubtless she paid her own
ers a hundred times over her cost price.
The advent of the steam whaler, how
ever, soon caused the Stamboul and
others of the fleet to be disdained.
MR. IIARRISOX'M CONDITION.
Ex-Prcsldent Displays Symptoms of the
Qrip-I'ositive Orders That lie Shall Be
Kept (fillet Have Been Issued.
Indianapolis, March 10. General
Harrison's condition was somewhat
Improved today, though he suffered
considerably from pains In the chest
and head. He was stronger, but the
gain was slight, being regarded by the
lower fever, which is one of the grip
symptoms. During the day he suf
fered from pleurltls pains which oc
curred at short Intervals. There has
been little relief from his cold and the
grip symptoms have been almost as
pronounced as on yesterday, being at
tended by a susceptibility to chilly sen
sations whenever changing his position
in bed. His cough troubled him today,
und despite the remedies given, It has
been Impossible to make any marked
change in its violence. The attending
physician does not think that the left
lung Is as much congested as it' was
yesterday. As usual with the grip, his
head was affected quite seriously. But
the pain was less severe today, a re
sult of partial relief from congestion of
the left lung.
Dr. Jameson made several visits to
the patient today, and, while giving
out reports that are more favorable
than those of yesterday, It Is quite evi
dent from his manner that he regards
it as necessary to give the ex-presldent
the closest attention. He has pro
hibited all study, and does not even
allow him to Indulge In the lightest
reading, such exercise increasing the
pain in his head and making him very
restless. Mrs. McKee reached his bed
side at a late hour last night and has
been constantly with him today.
Friends are not admitted to his room
and positive orders have been issued to
keep him quiet, and free from all In-
truslon. Dr. Jameson said after visit
ing him this evening that If he con
tinues to improve he might be able to
leave his room In a few days, possibly
within a week, but care must be exer
cised to prevent a lapse, and especially
to prevent additional cold. Mr. Harri
son sat up for a few moments this af
ternoon. PEFFER'S PREDICTIONS.
Says the Populists Will Be Swallowed I'p
in the Reform Movement.
Canton, O., March 10. Senator Pef
fer, of Kansas, addressed a political
meeting here tonight in the interest of
the municipal campaign of Canton
Populists. In an Interview the senator
said that he expects the Populist party
finally to be absorbed by a new party.
Said he:
"There are many elements In conflict
with the policy of the ruling powerB.
The country Is now controlled by prac
tically four combinations the land
monopoly, the labor monopoly, the
transportation monopoly, the money
monopoly. The people of all parties
and of all phases of life see the baneful
effects of these combinations.
"Some of the evils are In one party
and some In another. To make their
voices heard in legislation the opposing
elements must get their votes together.
The end will be a great party made up
of the opposing elements, which party
will absorb the Populists and large por
tions of the Republicans and Dem
ocrats. All of the reform movements,
such as the Populists, the Prohibition
ists, etc., will get together on common
ground In this movement and then
there will be a new name."
