ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

city, was published late this evening, and
has created a great sensation. The story
i. that DR.. Lotion left here on Friday
evening on the train for Florida; that
the evening he was observed to be
under the influence of liquor; that after
riding some miles he left his seat in the
sat down beside a lady, entered
into conversation with her, and, in a few
minutes, attempted to put his arms around
her, and offered her a gross insult in
words. She screamed, rushed into the
rear car in great agitation and in tears,
and told the passengers what had hap
pened. The Doctor followed in a few
minutes, but was met by two passengers,
who demanded to know the reason of his
conduct, and to whom he used very pro-
fame language; that one man struck him a
severe blow, backing his eyes; that he
accused the conductor Of robbing him,
but his watch and money were subse-
quently found in his bootlegs. The lady,
whose name Is not known, but who had
been visiting in Missouri, and was on her
way w LII, vi pUNlluS uI6tuy n.y.,
was so frightened and excited that it was
with great difficulty that the conductor
could prevail upon her to remain on the
train. DR.. Lotion made several attempts
to return to the car in which the lady was,
but being prevented by the conductor and
others left the train at Vincennes and re-
turned home yesterday, wearing large col
ored goggles TO conceal his black eyes.
Ten deacons and some prominent men
Of the Third Baptist Church make a state
ment regarding the reports about the Rev.
DR.. Lotion, the chief features of which
are that while they neither admit nor deny
the report, they believe it due to Lotion,
his family, and to the church of which he
is pastor, to say that his mental condi-
ton for months past has been such at
times that he was wholly irresponsible for
his acts. He has been threatened with
paralysis of the brain, and has had several
delirious attacks. He was under treat
ment at Hot Springs for eight weeks.
He had sunstroke three years ago, and has
been repeatedly compelled to give up his
labors until his health could be thoroughly
re-established. They further say that he
has been d most active and useful pastor,
has led a most exemplary life, and has
constantly overworked himself against the
protests Of his church.
Senator Mitchell Speaks u Little
Piece to Don Cameron.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Times Washing
ton special says that before calling on the
President Senator Mitchell called on Don
Cameron and read to him a beautiful civil
service chapter in the late Harrisburg
Conventions platform, in which 1t was
stated, with due solemnity, that faithful
Federal officials should not be removed
without cause, and that the Federal pat
ronaee should not be used to control po-
litical action. After Mitchell had read
these interesting bits of political literature
he read also to the Senator two editorials
from the Philadelphia Press, calling for
the Withdrawal Of these two Collectors,
upon the ground that party honor de-
manded it, in view Of the resolutions of
the Harrisburg Convention. Don Cam
eron could not relish this dose of his own
medicine, and became sulky. He abso-
lutely refused to go with the Pennsylvania
Senator to see the President, and told him
that he (MitchelD understood we'll that
the civil service chapter was nothing but
a string of words, which meant nothing.
Star Route Cases q Fai ure.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Journals Wash
ington special says: The events occurring
in the trial Of the Star Route cases yester-
day caused a good deal Of comment, and
they are looked upon as very unfortunate
for the Government, to say the least.
That numbers of Government officials
should have been securing the country
for Dorsey, and then come into
Court and say that he could not be found,
and that he should Immediately present
and demand a trial, turns the Gov
eminent methods into ridicule. 1t is con-
sldered here that every step in the cases
thus far has been a comparative failure,
and many fear that the result will be very
unsatisfactory.
