Train Wreck,ny Cases.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec. 21.-The case
of GeerS, one of the six men charged with
train wrecking on the Missouri Pacific rail-
road. was taken up in the district court at
WyandOtte this morning. The prosecution,
expecting to try Lloyd's case first, was not
ready to try Geer. Therefore they dismissed
the charge against him Of murder and of the
wrecking, and presented an Indictment for
the murder of Carlisle. The defense an
nounced the readiness of Leary for trial.
and the prosecution took the same action as
in the case of Geers. The defense moved
to quaSh the new indictments as irregular,
aud lengthy arguments were entered upon.
The theory of the motion was that de-
PENDANTS had never had preliminary eX-
animation on the Carlisle case, and that
the district court was not the proper place
to commence proceedings in criminal case
The afternoon session was taken up with
arguments and legal quibbles by the law
yers. The court reserved decision on all
motions until tomorrow. At that time a
motion for change of venue will be made.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 21.-FOr
some months past the first colored Baptist
church of this city has been involved in
bitter quarrel, which arose primarily from
the calling OF r. L. Huffman. of Louisville,
TO the paStOrate. The intelligent part OF
the congregation opposed his calling on ac-
count of his bad character in Louisville. but
were overruled and Huffman came. He
was soon accused of imprOprieties toward
women of the church. and several

He had an unaccountable influence over
the ignorant portion of the church. how
ever, and managed to hold on. 1t was an

strued as personal to his enemies, a large
congregation gathered aru.ed for row.
He, however. postponed the sermon until
tonight The church tonight was packed
with Huffmans armed adherents and an
angry mob surged outside the building.
Huffman, on the advice of friends, did not
preach his rattieSnake sermon. AS he left
the church the mob Surged toward him
madly. He drew two pistols and fired both
into the crowd, but no one is known to be
hit. Shots were returned and Huffman fed
to the church. He escaped through back
window, but the crowd, thinking he is in
side, are still there threatening to burn the
church or get at him.

ShinniclI Enumd.

CINCINNATI. O.. Dec. 21.-COl. Deitsch,
chief of police, to-day discovered Richard
Shnnick in the Cincinnati wOrkhOuse
where he had been placed two months ago
for diSOrderly conduct. A dispatch had
been sent Col. Detsch to arrest Shinnick
for murder which Shinnick's wife. on her
deathbed at Richmond, Va, said he had
committed there last fall. Shinnck will be
held for the Richmond authorities.
RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 21.-There have
been no new developments in the case of
the supposed murder, an account of which
was telegraphed hence last night. Work
men under the supervision of the police
continued their search of the premises on
which the alleged murder was committed
and where the body of the victim was sup
posed to be buried in an old well. Nothing
was found by the searchers to indicate
either that murder had been committed
or that there had ever been wall Oh the
premises. although few old citizens assert
that there was one. Mrs. Shinnick sticks
firmly to her original statement. but the
belief in it is weakening. She did not bear
good character before marriage. 1t is as
serted that she had a revengeful motive
against her husband on account of i'll treat

The black reari wins.

Some hundred city sports gathered at
resort just outside the city limits last night
to see an eight-round fight with four ounce
gloves between Harris. the Black Pearl,
and one Mckay. Wisconsin pugilist, for a
purse of SIS. The contestants entered the
ring about 1890, followed by their seconds,
Hadley and Neiberg. The first round opened
tamely, but before it was ended both men
warmed up and put in some heavy blows.
McKay's had no effect on Harris, who
knocked him down about the middle
of the round. The second round
was almost a repetition of the first,
Harris scoring knock-down. When the
third round commenced, Mckay came up
looking somewhat tired and generally
broken up. He seemed incapable of hit
ting Harris, but was himself knocked down
three times. He came up with consider
able trepdation for the fourth round, and
after making few mild reaches for Harris
and getting several hard blows, retired
from the ring. saying that he had enough.
The referee then gave the fight to Harris.
Hadley and Harris next fought two easy
rounds.

had done more to demOrallZe railroad man
ayers, officers and agents than pools; and
this came to be the basis OF the hope of
reward by railroad officers and agents for
succesSively enlarging business by the
violation of such arrangements. Then
came the rate war and consequent loss OF
revenue. Under the present system, how
ever, these losses were unioadei on the
business of the intermediate or local points
This practice was in itself an outrage and
the most fruitful source Of complaint on
the part of the people. A vast amount of
the railroad traffic of the country was done
at rates less than half of those charged on
business between local points. That was

should be reasonably paid for their services;
but they did not recognize them as their
masters. for they knew that the railroad
companies were created to be servants.
And it might be set down as one of the
things irrev0cably settled upon that the
public demand which had induced the re-
porting of the present bill would not cease
until Justice was entrenched in the trans
portatiOn system of the country. AS
an illustration of the injustice of
the present system, he stated
that on the 10Th of the month corn
was selling in Western Iowa (where it had
been good CROP from 20 to 25 cents a
bustel. in Chicago at So cents bushel, and
in Southeastern Iowa (Where the crop had
been tallure) at 10 to AZ cents per bushel.
so that Western Iowa corn was being sold
in Chicago at from 3 to 6 cents bushel
less than in Eastern Iowa. Congress. he
said, had debated this subject for ten years;
now let it act. Mr.. Camden said he re-
garded the bill as wise and conservative
measure; that the country demanded the
passage of some such bill and that it was
the duty Of congress to act upon it. Mr..
Cullom said he would ask the senate to re-

upon reassemblng after the recess. The

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-Wiliam Filings
worth. of New York. and Jack Cassidy. of
Philadelphia met this evening near Fort
Hamilton to fight to finish with kid gloves
for purse of $3.50 and side bets of S1O0.
Cassidy weighed 143 pounds and Filings
worth 13S.
First Round-The work was play Of wary
kind, the men feeling each other, and light
sparring only was done.
Second Round-The men began to warm
themselves on each other and clean, pretty
left-hand work was done by both men, Cassidy Y
having the best of the round.
Third dRound-EllinEsworth landed his fist on
Cassidy's countsnance, then on his stomach
and finally oD his neck. The Quaker City man
cOntented himself with countering, but the
blows lacked the force of his opponents.
Fourth ROund-CaSsidy' friends urged
him TO rush his man. He tried to but was
the round ended by Ellingsworth putting his
right on Cassidy's neck in such a neighborly
way that the latter staggered out of the
| round, at Its close. to his corner.
Fifth Round-Cass1dy came up strong, and
went at the New Yorker, landing heavily
in tune by savage massage on the ribs and
stomach.
Sixth Round-The men were somewhat
slow III coming to the center, the work telling
upon their first wind. The passes were not
savage, but such blows as landed were Cas-
sioy's, he seeming intent upon proving that
his stomach drubb1ng In the previous round
was only an accident.
Seventh Round-The men came together in
clinch, but broke quickly and fought all
round the ring, putting in heavy blows with
great rapidity. 1t was give and take all over
the ring, it being difficult to determine which
had the advantage.
Eighth ROund-Both came up Slightly
winded, though strong. The spectators pre-
dicted long fight. The men were again
wary and though each led often, only two
blows landed, each to Cassidys credit.
Ninth acknowledgements feinted with his
left, swung his right on Cassidy's ribs, and as
the latter came forward with evil in his yes.
Ellingsworth once more sat upon Cassidy s
couutenance with q hit so hard that he was
dazed and before he could recover Filings
worth swung his right on the point of Cas-
sidy's jaw, and he fell helpless to the floor.
He made two game attempts to regain his
pins, but vaiuly. He was knocked out, and
the time limit having expired, he was carried
to his corner aud Ellingsworth awarded the
stakes and purse.

ground, including the barn. cribs and out
houses of MeSsrS. George and Thomas Har-

Armaindo. Al miles, laps. AL
the contestants left the track at
II O'Clock and remained off until
1890. when they all reappeared and rode
at the rate of twelve. or thirteen miles an
hour. Schock making the pace. Armaindo
is forced to retire frequently on account OF
sickness. but will no doubt ride 1000 miles.
NOTHING PARTICULARLY EXCITING
enivened the race yesterday. There was
a fairly-good attendance all day and con-
siderable enthusiasm was manifested Dy
the friends Of the different contestants.
Morgan was inclined to be somewhat short
during the day on account OF losing the
miles he had gained on Schock. 1t came
about in this way: The two went off to
sleep soon after IL o'clock Monday night,
and Schock came on again at l. lie began
riding at rapid race and soon made up
what he had lost. Morgan had told his
trainer, Savage, to call him Just as soon as
Schock went on the track. but as Savage
had gone to sleep ne did not do so. When
he did awake Schock was reellng OH mile
after mile. Morgan was aroused, and after
airing his opinion Of trainer who would
90 to sleep when on duty, jumped on his
wheel and began to chase Schock.
sCHoCK STARTED TO Squirt,
but Morgan kept passing him until he had
made ND his lost score Both Morgan and
Schock are in good shape. and while look
ing somewhat worn claim to be able to
astonish people yet. Armalndo. in addl-
ton to doing great deal OF hard riding,
paws considerable attention to her toilet and
changes costumes very frequently. During
the day she left the track number OF times
on account of sickness. 1t started in with
pains In the back Monday night, and then
her stomach began to trouble her. She
stuck to her wheel as long as possible, and
only went to her room when too sick TO
stand UP. During the time SchOck and
Morgan were off she made UP twenty-five
miles, When they went off at 1:3O In the
afternoon she began riding rapidly, although
there was no one to make pace for her.
Armando is improving steadily, and her
trainers think that she will pick up and give
the others hard chase yet.
LAPS AND NILES.
The worlds record will be beaten by good
many miles if the riders do anywhere near as
well the latter part of the week.

and smiles audibly as the gate receipts grow
