all those who doubt me, all those who
have believed me capable OF wounding a

their mistake and stand rebuked. This

board for the summer with the old coupl,
who lived there.
There was about us all the solitud,

The Recent Fight in a Church.

TOLEDO, June 29.-The priest of the par
ish iu which the riot occurred last night, the
Rev. Vincent Sewandowski, has for the past
three years, in some way, made himself OBJ
noxious TO portion of his flock, but has
heretofore refused to resign, asserting that
the Bishop would not fill Misplace should he
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 services an an
CRY crowd collected and went to the saloon
of Peter SzelasZkiewicz, who was strongly
suspected of being implicated in the attempt
to blow up the priests house a week ago.
where fight was soon started. Szelaszkie-
wicz was driven from the house and several
shots fired at him, but he escaped with
wound in the hand. The mob then attack
ed The house of Albert DoIkowski close by,
and entering the house, dragged him and
his wife out and shot him several times, and
beat him horribly over the head with clubs,
killing him. His wife was also badly club
bed, and is likely to die. The mob COM
pletely demolished the house. During the
riot many shots were fired, one striking q
bystander, named Martin Dobroczsk, and
instantly killing him. Several persons en-
gagged in the fight were more or less injured
The scene of the riot is over 2 miles from
the police station, but force of policemen
were on the ground as soon as possible and
arrested 10 or Is of the leading rioters and
Jailed them. Not less than 100 men, women
and children were engaged in the fight.

reported points, and left for parts unknown,
taking, it is said, 500, 900 in cash with him.
Smith came here eight months ago from
Chicago; he had SIS, 900 which he invested
in the dry goods business, of which he was
apparently wholly ignorant. He at once
began running mammoth excursions into
the city from distant points, purchasing the
complete advertising space of daily papers
and performing other like feats. His prices
reduced other merchants to point where
they were forced to 60 slow or break. He
carpeted the streets for pedestrians, gave
open air musical concerts for the poor,
plaved poker extensively and specialized in
the Chicago grain pits. Some time ago it
was thought that he could not go much
farther without help, and his creditors
placed men here to watch matters. These
men had decided TO close the place to day.
At q late hour Saturday night Smith trans
ferred his stock to Cole 4 Co., new firm
from the East, the consideration being S3O,-
600, md $4,000 in three months. Smith
said little about his business, and took his
manager with him when he left. }. V.
Farwel & Co., of Chicago, are the heaviest
creditors, their credit to him being about
