CLASHING POLES.
Blood Drawn Over a Church Guar
rel.
The Police Charge on the Crowd and Dis
persc the Rioters.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.,, September 10.-Disa-
greement In st. Hedwy's Polish Catholic
Church, which has been brewing for some
time, eliminated in a bloody row and the
narrow escepe Of the priest and several
others from death to-day. The question
at issue has been the management Of the
parochial school connected with the church.
The priest and part of the church menu
bership have been in favor of placing the
school entirely In the hands Of the nuns;
others favored continuing the man
agement in the hands of the principal,
who has been very popular. The
priest took advantage of the technical
authority possessed by him as the Eccles-
iastical Director Of school affairs and at
mass announced that the change which he
desired would take place at once. ut so
happened that the principal OF the school
was the organist of the church. He refus-
ed to play the organ, and the excitement
grew SO intense that the services were
brought to an abrubt close. Representa-
tives Of both sides of the controversy inn
mediately waited on the priest at his home
to argue the matter, and a crowd collected
outside the house. The discus
sion between the friends and the
opponents Of the priest grew heated, and

inside the house was taken up outside, and
the cry spread that the priest was being
killed. Thousands Of Poles live in that
part Of the city, and all, men, women and
children, rushed to the place. The fight In
side the house was taken up outside, and
the most terrific excitement ensued.
Fists, clubs and knives were used,
and blood flowed freely. The three
police officers stationed In that
part Of the city were powerless to stop the
light, and assistance was asked from the
Central Station. Two patrol wagon-loads
Of officers went TO the rescue. The horses
were driven on a gallop into the crowd.
The priest was rescued unframed, and
taken to neighboring house, where he has
since been, protected by guard of police.
Six Of the ring-leaders Of the riot were ar.
rested, and will be ex amined in Court to-
morrow morning. Nobody was killed, but
large number were wounded.

A Novel and Effective Fire IxtlnuuIshsr.

WASHINGTON, September 20. There has
been very successful test Of steam gun
designed for use in extinguishing fires.
1t consists of a long brass tube which Is at
tached by hose to an ordinary fire engine.
1t is a breech -loader, and throws glass
grenades filed with an extinguishing mix
ture. The trial yas made on the monu-
ment lot. In the test the maximum pres
sure Of steam used was sixty five pounds.
Under such an impetus the projectiles rose
to about the height OF the monument against
a very strong breeze. and fell long way
out on the reclaimed fats. This was an
excessive pressure, and was given merely
to show the capabilities of the gun. The
pressure was then brought down to about
forty pounds, when a flight Of Prolectiles
rose in quick succession to the height o.
our highest buildings under the deft hand
ling Of the breech- block and steam-con-
trolling valve by the gentleman in charge

this time when the brethren of the
three links are drawn together by
the invisible bonds of Friendship,
Love and Truth:
Three sunny islets on LIES river,
Three golden arrows in lite's culver,
Three stars that angels love to hymn,
Three lights that CLEAN when life grow $
dim,
Three charms that guard the heart from
sorrow
Three whispers o. a brighter morrow,
Three links that bind with sillen band,
Three watchwords on LIES stormy strand,
Three harbors mid the hearts commo-

Three beacons on lifes troubled ocean,
Three fragrant flowers most fair to see,
Three Garlands twining round life's tree,
Three gems of pure ETHEREAL light,
Three fates all lovely pure and bright.
Three threads of life from Heavens
throne,
Three glories mingled into one.
