tby telefrapn W he 1r
ToLEpo. o., june 2g.--The priest
of the parish in which the riot occurred
last night, Rev. Vincent Sewsndowsk',
has for the past three years in some
way made himself obnoxious to por-
ton Of his flock, but has heretofore re-
fused to resign, asserting that the Bush
op would not fill his place should no
leave. Yesterday, however, he gave
notice from the pulpit that he
would leave them to-day. THIS
seemed to infuriate his friends, and
shortly after the close Of the services
an angry crowd collected and went
to the saloon Of Peter Szelaszkiswiez-
who was strongly suspected OF beng
implicated in the attempt TO blow up
the priests house a week ago. where
a fight was soon started. sSzelaszkic-
wicz was driven from the house and
several shots fred at him. but he es-
caped with a wound in the hand. The
mob then attacked the house of Albert
Dolhowsky, close by. and entering the
house, dragged him and his wife out
and shot him several times. and beat
him terribly over the head with clubs,
killing him. His wife was also badly
dubbed and is likely to die. The MOB
completely demolished the house.
During the riot many shots were
fred. one striking bystander named
Martin Dobroczski and instantly kill
ing him. Several persons engaged IN
the fight were more or less injured.
The scene of the riot is over two miles
from the police station, but a force OF
policemen were on the ground as soon
as possible and arrested twelve or ht-
teen Of the leading rioters and jailed
them. Not less than one hundred men,
women. and children were engaged IN
the fight.
Up to noon to-day twenty-five men
and five women had been placed under
arrest for completely in the riot yester-
day. Several of these are slightly
wounded. bearing cuts, Bruises or
broken fingers. The parties directly
implicated in yesterdays murders are
doubtless already in custody, although
not yet identified. Other arrests will fol-
low until all suspectedp persons have been
secured. No further disturbances have
taken place. The pastor Of the Polish
church publishes statement, in which
he attributes the difficulty to the bitter
hostility long entertained towards him
and his work by the vicious and crimi-
nal element of his parish, whose acts
have been severely denounced by him.
A portion of his people supported and
defended him most zealously, and his
determination to relinquish his charge,
the announcement Of which was made
yesterday, precipitated the conflict be-
tween the factions.

New YORK, June 29.-ThomaS
O'Shea surrendered himself early this
morning to Brooklyn policeman.
O'Shea was pale and almost breath
less, and his eyes glared like those Of a
maniac. When asked what was the
matter he said he had killed his wife.
The officer recognized O'Shea as man
who played Scotch bagpipe at the
festive gatherings it that part Of
Brooklyn. The man said he struck
her with an axe and killed her, and
then covered her with pillow and
sheet for fear the children would see her
and get frightened. He stated that he
had been drinking for some time past,
and when in that condition he was
crazy. The officer took the man to the
s,ation-house and had him locked up.
Then he visited 0'Shea's residence and
found the latter's three children. aged
respectively twelve, eight. and two
years asleep in one room, while IN the
ether lay the body of their mother.
Her head had been completely crushed
in, and the brains oozed out of the
wound.
Later O'Shea was arraigned in court
and the charge Of murder preferred
against him. He admitted his guilt,
and said the deed was caused by rum
and jealousy, and that he was looney
at the time he did it. lie was held TO
await the action of the grand jury. In
conversation with the chief of police
O'Shea said he struck his wife three or
four times with the Ratchet, and that
she only moaned slightly after the first
blow. He admitted that his wife had
always acted rightly by him.
