Exposure of Clerical rraud.


LONDON October 26.-When Arthur
Mcreton, alais the Rev. Theodore Keatinge
was arrested in Liverpool, his sole possess
ions were four shillings in money, a bottle
of hair dye and small box filled with af-
fectionate and admiring letters from men
and women of all sorts and conditions Of
social standing. A great many of the
members of the Milltown and Molyneaux
churches, where Keatinge achieved his
greatest triumphs of pulpit oratory,
believe him to be deeply injured
saint, and are collecting money TO delray
the expenses of his defense against the ac
cusations OF immortality, dishonesty, ETC.,
which he must answer in court Arch
bishop Plunkett says he examined with un-
usual care the crendentials which Keatings
submitted to him, and found nothing sus-
picious i'm them. ''One denomination,
said his Lordship," should not seek 10
cast stones at another in this matter.
Keatings or Mereton has imposed upon
everybody and all should be- ashamed Of
the fraud rs disgrace to common human
ity."
Keatinge was arraigned in Dublin yes
terday on charges of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses and of neglecting TO re-
port himself to the police ut stated times
under the terms of his ticket-oileaye.
Doctor Moffatt, rector Of the Milltown
Church, testified TO the frauds practiced
upon himself and his congregation by
Keatinge, and told of his discoveries at
Worcester while investigating the record
of the prisoner at that place. Kcatinge
repeatedly interrupted the witness, warn
ing him against the awful consequences
of telling lies and finally became 81 vche-
ment in his uttemnccs that he was silenccd
by the court officers Al the conclusion
Of DIR. Moflatt's testimony keatingc was
remanded

A Surprise Predicted When the viii Is
Opened.
New YORK, October 26.-How has Mrs.
Stewart disposed of her three million dol
lar marble palace? Who will get the two
million dollars worth of paintings and
other works Of art which it contains? These
are the questions, above all others, that
are interesting the public of this city to-
day. The Commercial AdrertiSer says: "a
surprise Will probably be in store for the
public when Mrs. Stewards will is opened
the last of this week. Her closest friends,
with the exception of Judge Hilton,
claim to be ignorant of its con-
tents. One thing appears certain, that
marble house where she died will not
again be used as dwelling. Many we'll
informed persons have supposed that it
would be given by Mrs. Stewart to the
Union Club, as Mr.. Stewart had from time
to time limited that to be his ultimate de-
sign for the place. But to-day it was al
legged that Mrs Stewart decided years ago
to give the place to Judge Hilton and have
it opened as an uptown dry goods shop"
1t has been definitely decided that the
funeral of the late Mrs. Stewart will take
place on Thursday afternoon.

An Amusing Hunt In Missouri For a Def

New YORK, October 26.-The Herald's
Kansas City special gives an amusing hist
ory of hunt that is going on in st. Clair
county, Missouri, for County Judge
Thomas Scott, who is said to have refused
to obey an order ofthe United States Cir
cult Court to make tax levy for payment
of certain defaulted bonds ofthe old Mem
phis Railroad. The Judge, it is said, took
to the brush, and ever since June 20 Z. S.
Marshal J. p. Willis has been hunting for
him. The country is rough and noun
famous, and the Judge has the sympathy
of the people, who hide him in their houses
and help him to escape, so that the Mar
shall finds his efforts constantly baked.
The Marshall deputies are constantly get
ting themselves into trouble by holding
up" men whom they suppose to be the
much sought for Judge, and there is likely
in the end to be some serious result Of the
affair, though up to this time the people of
the county have found it exceedingly en-
tertaining.

with them the porkmen. The engineers
are the most dissatisfied of all. Previous
to the strike the engineers were working
three shifts day, 1t is also claimed that
Bushard, Armoul's Master Mechanic, did
not take back all the engineers and fire
men who went out, and the Knights want
them reinstated. In conclusion it is
claimed that Barry, the Richmond dele
gate who settled the strike, was bought off
to send the men back. Many of the men
refuse to hold such an opinion.
