The Spanish QuestiOn-Secretary Fish
interviewed.

A reporter Of the New York Herald
called on Secretary Fish at his residence
in Washington, the other day, when, ac-
cording to the reporter, the following
brief conversation occurred:
Reporter Mr.. Secretary, information has
come to hand to the effect that notwithstand-
ing recent assurances of peace, a war il very
possible between the United States and Spain.
l have called upon you to ascertain whether
there is any truth in the report or foundation
for its statement.
Secretary Fish (rather testily)-Do you sup
pose, sir, for a moment. if there was such a
movement on the tapis, that l would commune
cate it to any paper or any individual? | do
not care TO speak about the Spanish question.
All this talk in reference to this matter of a
war with Spain, il utterly outside the purpose
of this Government. AS we do not seek war
with Spain, the only proyocation of war
must come from them.
Reporter-IIave you, Mr.. Secretary. any spe-
ciiic information from the Government at Mad
rid touching the question?
Secretary Fish-The purport of diplomatic
dispatches from any source il considered pri-
vate. The Spanishmatter is one involv-
ing diplomacy. There is not one
word of truth in these stories
concerning the difficulty between Spain and
the United States. Both countries are on the
best of terms and the little difficulty in regard
to the settlement of the claims in Cuba is in the
best possible way of amicaSle adjustment.

Tie Gorgeous Russian Minister.

The advent of the day is the arrival
and due installation, socially and politi-
cally, of our new Minister OF all the Rus
sias. The gorgeousness of the lately
arrived diplomatic duck-w we beg par
don, agent-fills the common mind with
admiration and amazement. Occupying
Mrs. CAROLS palatial residence, the true
diplomatic inwardness comes out, so to
speak, with startling vivacitv and splen-
dor. The chasseur, or, as Col. Mulberry
Sellers calls him, the curacao, is alone
an object of wonder. Conceive, no
don't conceive-go look at man who
stands taller and sits shorter than any
Russian we ever saw before-or behind
either-done up in a uniform that would
make brigadier die Of envy. On his
lofty head-standing-is a military hat,
surmounted with white plume, for
which at least twenty-four chicken-cocks
died the death. Then comes the uni
form, made up of gold and gold fringe
and gold embroidery. Why, the one
grapevine worked up his back would pay
our debts. That sounds wild, but we
are prepared with afiidavits. This chas-
seur on the streets of Jerusalem would
make Jerusalem hide its diminished
head. Then the sword-the sword of
the chasseur or curacoa-is simply i'm

Changed His Mind.

A strapping big stranger entered a
store on Woodward avenue yesterday,
and leaning too heavily on the showcase
broke one of the panes of glass.
"That will cost you ST." said the pro-
prietor.
Haven't got the money!" replied the
stranger.
"Well, you can't go out of the store
until you pay for that glass, said the
storekeeper in determined voice.
I'm sorry, but I'm willing to be
licked, if that will do you any good, 4"
replied the stranger, rapidly getting out
of two coats and vest and showing arms
like joints of stove-pipe.
ooh, I guess it was purely acciden-
tai, said the shop-keeper in an altered
voice, as he got behind the counter in a
hurry, "and you needn't mind about
waiting around here any longer. Here's
a car ticket if you are going up the
avenue. "-DetrOit Free Press.

PLEASANT NElGHBORS.
The Manner In which One Tennessee Fa-
mily Trimmed Out Another.


miIy Trimmed Out Another.
G. j. Bohanan, Deputy Sheriff of Put
nam County, with posse, brought here
for safe keeping last night George and
Joseph Branswell, charged with killing
Russell and John j. Allison, two weeks
ago last night.
The two Branswells lived within a mile
of the Allisons' house, and had con-
stantly associated with them. 1t was
not known that any ill-feeling existed
between them.
On the night mentioned, long after all
in the Allison house had retired to rest,
some men knocked at the door and cried
ont, "Hallo !" They stated that they
wanted supper. A Mrs. Isbell, who also
lived there, called down Russell Allison
from the upper story, and he went
TO the door with candle. He had
barely opened the door before
he saw revolvers presented Mt
his body, and he was shot through the
abdomen. They then fred at young
Allison's mother, bullet barely graz
ing her head. At this moment some
one came down the stairs. The assas-
sins, fearing there were more in the
house than the family, beat hasty re-
treat.
Though the Branswells had given
other names, their voices were recog-
nized by young Allison and his mother.
One of them had handkerchief over his
face, while the face of the other had been
BACKED. Yet, in this disguise and their
clothing turned inside out, Russell Ali
son recognized them, and said so uron
his death bed. He exclaimed, when he
opened the door "Why, it's Teek
and Joseph !" When Allison was shot
he grasped the pistol and q struggle en-
sued, lasting until the Branswells heard
footsteps upon the stairway and de-
camped.
The next night after the shooting an
officer went to arrest the Branswells,
who were at the distillery. 10
Branswen was lying down. His
brother came out directly and told him
to bring light. 10 said : "Look out, l
am arrested" George ("Teek") re-
marked, 81 am coming to you or die. -
With pistol in hand he came into the
still house. The crowd at once gave
back. With the assistance of John Ali
son, Russell Allison's brother, the officers
succeeded in arresting BransweU. At
that moment, however, Branswell placed
his derringer against Aliison's abdomen
and fired, the ball taking effect within an
inch of where his brother was shot.
The Allison brothers died within an
hour of each other, and were buried in
the same grave. The people were SO in
censed against their assassins that it was
thought best to bring them to Nashville.
The Branswells have long been regarded
as desperate characters, and are still sup
posed to have been dealing i'll counterfeit
money. The cards, with which they
had played three cardmonte, were found
upon their persons at the Jail last night.

A RIPE OLD AGE.

Centenarian.

The New York EUen;ng Post an
nounces the death of the Rev. Henry
Boehm, better known as Father Boehm.
the oldest preacher of the Methodist
Church in this country, and probably
the Oldest clergyman in the world, nj the
house OF his granddaughter, hear Rich
mond, Staten Island.
Father Boehm was born at Lancaster,
Pa, June 8, ITS, or nine days previous
to the battle of Bunker Hill. He re-
NAMED little over twelve months q
nominal subject of George ILL.,, and cast
his first vote for John Adams, as Pres
ident of the United States in 1896.
He lived in stirring times, remember
ing the events of the Revolutionary War,
of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic
ana other wars-in short the most
striking events of two centuries occurred
in his youth. His manhood witnessed
changes and fortunes no less remarkable,
and, Ill his old age, the din of great
events was still in the ears Of this priv
legged mortal. Father Boehm joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church III 1897,
being then in his 22d year, his father
having been for many years minister
among the United Brethren, and for
some time Bishop of the some denomi-
nation. The old gentleman joined the
Methodists before he died, and built
Boehms Chapel, which still exists, being
the first Methodist Church in Lancaster
County. Father Boehm Was licensed to
preach by the Rev. Thomas Ware, Jan.
6, 1900, AMI was appointed to travel in
the Dorchester District, on the Eastern
shore of Maryland. lie attended the
General conference OF his Church at
Philadelphia four years after he became
a preacher, and travelled with the famous
William Colbert in Annamessex Circuit,
gaining numerous converts to the Metho-
dist Church.
He subsequently travelled all over
the East with Bishop Asbury,
and had uniformly success,
full career. He travelled with the
lights of the American Methodist Epis-
copI Church-from 1905 to 1913, when
he was appointed Presiding Elder of the
Schuyllnll District, which comprised the
entire territory from Wilmington to
Stroudsburg, between the Eusquehan-
nah and the Delaware.

religiously romantic, embracing the most
picturesque region of the East, along
the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Alleghen-
les, and all the rivers and lnagniticent
valleys of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland.
He next made acquaintance with the
most prominent Methodists Of the South,
including Lovick Pierce and William
Capers, both of whom are well remem-
bered as guiding-stars OF the Southern
Methodist Church. The division was
always heartily deplored by Father
Boehm, who used all his exertions, in
latter days, TO bring about a union be-
tween the two churches, nominally di-
vided. Father Boehm WAS acquainted,
he said himself, with allehe Methodist
Bishops from Coke to Peak, but Asbury
was the greatest and best Of them oil.
