PASTOR DOWNS ON CONSPIRACY.

He Breaches On The Scandal In
 Which He Is A Principal.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-Bowdoin Square Bap- ing been announced that Rev. MT. Downs would preach as usual without regard to the charges against him. The pastor announced that his topic was Conspiracy" from Kings, xxi, 23 and part of 24: "And the servants of Ammon conspired against him and slew the King in his own house and the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against King Ammon." The subject was considered under the two heads, evils arising from con- spiracy and good arising from conspiracy. Under evils the pastor considered at length the seeming damage to religion and said that he believed no permanent dam age would re- suit to religion from the case against him as God was in it and had a purpose in view. Damage to health, however, was an He did not expect to break down, but he feared the effort of the strain on his wife, whom he had left in faint on entering the pulpit, and the lady whose name was associated with his in the scandal was already nervous wreck. A third evil which might result was damage to reputa- ton in distinction from character. The preacher said that even Jesus Chaist died with bad reputation. Among the good things arising from conspiracy the speaker enumer- ated the good to the newspapers. During the sermon Mir. Downs took occasion to sol emnly affirm his innocence and said that he had received no salary from this wealthy church for four months, though he had four teen persons dependent upon him for sup port. All the trials that had been heaped upon him, he believed, were needed, and though the Lord slew him, yet would he trnst

A Devflish Attempt At Train Wreckina
 Rolled.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 23.-Of the many at tempts made within the past two months to wreck trains on the Denver & Rio Grande railway probably the most devil ish of all was discovered last evening in time to prevent what might have proved terrible loss of life. Owing to the several explosions under trains heretofore mentioned and the terrible effect on locomotives which dyna- mite has, very close watch of the railroad tracks has been kept, patrol being main tained constantly. The Salt Lake express was due at 9:10 last night and the Leadville express had left at 8:30. A watchman pa- trolling the track in the meantime found near the limits of the city, at the place where two locomotives have nearly been blown up, large quantity of dynamite placed upon the track and so arranged that it could not avoid being exploded under the locomotive of the incoming express. The dynamite was taken up carefully and filled the watchman's hat and would undoubtedly have wrecked the train, which was very fast one at this point, there being steep down grade. The attempt grows out of the strike in the Dem yer 6 Rio Grande shops.

AN oUraURsT IN SPAIN

Against the Recent Action of Prince
 Bismarck.
 MADRID, Aug. 23.-Anti- German mani festations were commenced here to-day by an immense demonstration on the Prado at o'clock this afternoon. More than forty thousand people assembled and listened to speeches in French and Spanish denouncing Bismarcks action in taking possession of the Caroline Islands. The chief speaker was Spanish colonel in full uniform. He said that the object of the meeting was not to insult Germany, but Spanish rights must be pro- claimed and protected. After the meeting the crowd marched through the streets with banners flying, growing more enthusiastic as they advanced. Arriving in front of the presidency palace cheers were given for Signor Elduayon, minister of foreign affairs. The premier did not make his appearance and the cheers changed to howls and cat calls. Suddenly there arose yell and about twenty men rushed from the crowd to the palace and scaling the balconies fastened the national flag to the building amid the shouts and cheers of the multitude. All the military and aristocratic clubs hung banners and flags from their rooms, which were salu- ted with frenzied cheers the procession passed. The procession was headed by prom inent Democratic leaders and did not pass through the street upon which the German legation is located, much to the disappoint- ment of large crowd that had gathered in the vicinity of the legation curious to see what the temper of the people would lead them to do. At Salamanca the police and military clubs agreed unanimously to expel their German honorary members. The ex- citement at the meetings of the clubs was in- tense.
 The German legation was guarded by if teen policemen. There was no demonstra- tion in the vicinity of the building.

The Priscilla Wins The Second Trial.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Puritan, Pris- cilla, Bedouin and Oracle contested again yesterday for the honor of racing against the British cutter yacht Genesta for the America cup. The issue of the day was in favor of the Priscilla, which beat the Puritan ever triangular course of forty miles-thirteen and one-third miles each leg-by 6m. 2ss. actual time, or by 5m. 14s. after giving time allowances to the Boston sloop. The nature of the course gave the yachts two legs with quartering wind and one leg beat to wind ward-that is to say, two legs favored the Priscilla and one Ghe beat to windwar0 may be safely taken as the Puritan's strong point of sailing. In general way the ightness of the breeze may be taken as favoring the Priscilla. On the first run the yachts had the wind on the starboard quarter, and in this run the Priscilla beat the Puritan I'm. BIS. In the second leg or beat to windward, the Priscilla gained 0m 54s., although there were times during the beat when the Puritan showed decided superiority in windward work. On the home run the yachts had the wind on the port quarter, and in this run the Priscilla was the gainer by 3m. 57s. Fol lowing is summary:

Church of the Holy spirit.

s'The noblest choice' was the subject of Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford's morning sermon. The text was in Hebrews where Moses is commended for choosing to depart from the joys of Egypt to be the leader of his own op- pressed people out of their captivity. She argued that the text touched three topics, .sthe pleasures of sin," reminding her to speak of happiness, negatively and afirma- lively, and bringing to mind the great prob lem of human life which we are to help solve Most of all she was anxious to show that right and Christian development of soul is the divinest thing humanity may seek or share: She closed with an earnest appeal to her hearers to act in reference to princi- pie and not with reference to any lesser mo- tive
 The evening discourse was an inquiry into the dogma of endless punishment to find if it was defensible. The result showed that the old grounds of defense had been aban- doned and new ones set up only to be proved useless. The love of God revealed by Christ, love which is justice and mercy in one, shows that sin is punished-certainly punished, but that the doctrine of endless punishment is indefensible on any ground that does not impeach the character of the Almighty as just sovereign and loving Father.

TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY. Two Police Officers Shot by a Res- taurant Keeper and the Latter Shot D

- Two Police officers Shot by a Res-

 Dead i'm Return.
 SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Aug. 23.-This evening about seven o'clock terrible tragedy oc- cured on Washington street, one of the most crowded thoroughfares of the city, by which two men were killed with the proba- bility of third dying. This morning about two o'clock Officers Camp and Gahl served a peace warrant on Leonard Gardiner, keeper of second-class restaurant, issued on com plaint of his wife, who charged him with beating her. Gardiner was arrested and placed in jail, but gave collateral security and was released. He swore to the officers and others that he would kill Camp and Gahl on sight. During the forenoon he pur- chased two double acting forty
 five calibre bulldog revolvers at pawn shop and declared his intention to kill the officers who arrested him, his wife and himself He met the off cers on Washington street last evening and opened fire. The shot was fatal, striking Camp over the heart. The second struck from his forty-four calihre bulldog after being struck, three taking effect in and near Garliner's heart, killing the latter instantly. Gahl could not get his revolver out of it's scabbard. A negro woman, bystander, was struck in the leg, but the wounds are not dangerous. Camp died soon after. The dead man was taken to the police station. Camps wife nearly crazed with grief threw herself on the dead body of her husband, pleading piteous- ly for one word or one kiss. Beside the wife he leaves five children Gardener leaves a wife who every three months receives s15O from Canada, rela- tive's legacy. This money caused trouble between the husband and wife. She refused to look at the dead body of her husband or have anything to do with it. Camp and Gahl had the reputation of being the bravest and most efficient men on the force and were very popular. Dr. Ryan gives slight hopes of GahPs recovery. Gardiner was heretofore regarded as inoffensive and 1leaoeahla

Twelve Reports From the Com mission
 Sent to Investigate.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-At the approach ing session of Congress the President will submit twelve reports from the South Amer can commission in addition to the two sub mitted and published at the last session. The commission has been accused of enjoy ing junketing tour, but if the amount of manuscript they have forwarded to the State department is any criterion by which to judge, their industry has been very great. Their reports are accompanied by verbatim interviews with prominent merchants of every place they visited, covering points that will be of great importance to all in South and Central America. The com mission was directed to s'ascertain and report the best modes of securing more intimate commercial and international relations between the United States and the several countries of Central and South Amer ica, :" and were also entrusted with important diplomatic duties. Their plan of work was upon their arrival in 8 country to secure list of the prominent importing and exporting merchants, whe were invited to give their views and such information as they were willing to offer to the commission. They everywhere respond ed with the greatest cordiality and seemed to show deep interest in the object and de- sire for the success of the work. They gave much information regarding trade, the req sons why the United States has so little of the commerce of South America and the means by which more can be secured. As they were all men of practical experience their opinions are of value and upon them much of the reports of the committee is based. The commission also give the re- suits of the conferences they held with the governments of the several countries and the answers received to the propositions they were instructed by the late Secretary Ere inghuysen to submit on behalf of the United States. These propositions look to more intimate relations between the United States and the other American republics The commission began work in September last and have since been constantly occupied with their duties, having visited eleven different countries and tray eled thirty-two thousand miles.

The signals were broken just as train came into the station, leaving the signals turned in such manner as to in- dicate to train approaching from the op- posite direction that the track was clear. At that moment Great Western train came into the station and struck the engine of the other train with terrific force. The scene which ensued was horrible. The lights were shattered and most of them extinguished and the narrow underground tunnel was filled with the shrieks of the wounded and dying The driver of the Great Western engine was killed and the stoker and five passengers fatally injured.

TROUBLE IN THE ANCIENT ORDER
The Factions Have a Street Fight a,
 Fall River.


 FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 23.-There has been trouble between the various branches of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in this city for about year past originating in a conflict of authority between the two factions known as the Erin board and the American board The trouble has waxed hot Last night the American board paraded to advertise an ex- cursion arranged for Monday. Immediately following the parade came one-horse wagon driven by Erin Hibernians bearing large transparency with the announcement, ''Wait for the excursion of the original Hibernians on the 27th." In the Bowery a crowd of several hundred stoned the wagon of Erin. The driver was knocked off his seat to the ground. Two other men who were in the wagon jumped out and the three had a rough and tumble fight during which Andy Hines, one of the men in the team, drew 8 revolver and fired into the crowd, one bullet taking effect in the leg of a man named O'Brien. At this time the police appeared, dispersed the crowd and arrested Hines.

Some Fine Playing in the Lawn Ten
 nis Tournament.


 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 23.-The match game between Petit and Sears drew large crowd to the Casino ground yesterday morn ing, as 1t was expected that the finest exhi- bition of lawn tennis ever seen would be given. The terms, as generally understood, were that Petit should receive $100 if he defeated Sears. As the latter is in fine trim and playing better than ever before, and as Petit is pre-eminently brilliant player, and he had to win to get the stakes, it was but natural to expect good game. In this all were disappointed, for Petit did absolutely nothing, and though the second set was close it was due to Sears let ting up and not to Pettit's strong play. Sears, however, gave fine exhibition of tennis playing, while Petit did just enough to make it interesting, and he received $50 for the play, win or lose. The score was: Sears beat Petit 6-2, 7-5, 6-s. Knapp beat Slocum in playing off for second place, playing some very interesting games. The score was 6-4, 3-6s 6-4. He also beat Perry quite easily. Score, 6-4. 6-2, S-6, the last set being quite interesting.
