A reverend HwIndIer

MILWAUKEE, WIS, April ia spe-
cial from WATERFOWL, Wis, 10 the Sen
tinel says the Rev. /. 7. Koehler some
six months ago came here from Man
istee, Mich, TO take charge of the
German Evangelical Church. He was
a very important appearing person,
dignified and pompous. His ministra-
tons were successful and he had no
difficulty in having his wants of what
ever character supplied, getting
trusted to considerable amount by
those of his flock who were in business
and others. He left town few days
ago, his absence being a mystery until
yesterday, when letter was received
from him by Charles Bechman, presi-
dent of his Church Committee, written
from Detroit, rendering his resigna-
ton and informing any inquiring
friends that he would be safe in Her
Majesty's Dominion, Just across the
river. 1t is now learned that he had
borrowed about $500 in money from
various parties in sums of from % to
5000, He had a confirmation class
last Sunday, and the fee he exacted
from the members of it he pocketed,
together with the proceeds obtained
from the sale of 50J tickets for a 10
cent concert that he had planned.
Several clothing stores had furnished
him with stylish suits on credit, and a
ieweler was not slow in selling him
fine gold watch on trust.

Christian church, which was a grand
success financially as well as other
wise. The Corinth talent doomed up
in great shape to the surprise of all
present. The young ladies taking part
were very pretty, and handsomely
dressed, and each perlormered her
part TO perfection. Recitations, solos,
instrumental pieces and tableaux
were highly interesting. The even
ing entertainment wound up with a
very amusing drama entitled Stage
Struck, which was the "hit" of the
evening.
Those taking part in il were, Misses
Matte Chandler, Ellie Small and Mr.
Robt. Barnhill of Corinth, assisted by
Mr.. Walter Collier OF Memphis, who
was the cause OF much amusement TO
the audience.
The people of COrinth are becoming
very interested over the coming cleo

bloody battle I'm the Mountains OF
AeuIuCky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April ia Courier
Journal special tells of bloody battle
fought in the mountain wilds of Har-
Ian county, KY, on March Goth. John
Day and three Miniard brothers and
two Napier brothers were on their
way to log rolling. There they met
Isaac Day, Jake and Saul Barkhart
and Sias Bogg. They were all armed
with rifles, and sheltering themselves
behind trees, began firing. The firing
lasted half an hour, when both parties
retired. Saul Barkhart was killed out
right, Jake Barkhart was seriously
wounded and Silas Bogg was shot
through the head, but not fatally.
The parties have surrendered and are
now in Jail, The trouble grew out of
the arrest of Isaac Day, charged with
stealing. His brother went on his
bond, but surrendered him and the
fight resulted.

upon that the Supreme Court OF Ten
nessee gets of more work in the year
than any other court of final resort in

and for several weeks, only four of the
Judges presided. Judge Freeman being
quite sick, Judge John S. Cooper was
finally appointed in his stead. BY our
laws State and revenue cases always
have precedence. These classes Of
cases were not only numerous, but
were both unusually no, as well as un-
usually complicated aud important,

LABOR AND PoLITlos.
Circular from New York Calling for the
kormatIoM ofe NntIonni pRriy.


The central committee of the Progressive
Democracy of New York city has rented
offices in Cooper Institution, and has chosen
Gaytert Barnes as secretary. The commit
tee will take charge of the great mass of out
of-town- correspondence having relation
to the formation of political clubs and the
pushing of the new partys work all over
the United s. ates. The executive committee
has issued letter, of which the following is
an abstract:
To Organized Labor throughout the
United States, greeting The great moral
victory which we won in New Y ork by poll
ing Is, 600 votes for the Labor candidate in
the campaign begun in the Central Labor
Union, and the congratulations which the
men of New York have received
from all parts of the country, encour-
age us to believe that it is now within
the power of organized labor to begin a ma
tional movement that shall carry to triumph
and success the great principle on which po-
litical emancipation must be based. This
campaign has shown that, in spite of all diff
ferences and dil 'sions, it is possibl> to unite
the political polasr cf labor upon platform
confined to fundamental principles. What
we have done in New York has been accom-
plished in the face of greater obstacles than
exist anywhere else throughout the country
We see that it is only necessary to improve
our organization here to carry this
city, and we leieve that general
organization must result in the format,ol of
q II tional party that will sweep the country.
The work which we ask you to undertake is
in its preliminary state. We wish to see
formed all over the country open associa-
tions or clubs, which, by means of reunions,
lectures, debates and the dissemination of
literature, shall prepare the way for such
union as VIII result in tae formation of
national party powerful enough to rewrite
the laws and carry into power the proper
will of the people

LOADED UP TO THE HATCHES.
Seizure of the Schooner Flying Scud of
Gloucester.


A despatch from Halifax, Nov. 10, says;
The fishing schooner Flying scud, Capt
Jordan, put into that port leaking badly.
She is loaded to the matches, being on the
homeward trip from the Grand banks, with
about 1000 qu ntals of cod. The vessel
was beached, her bottom repaired and
she sailed for Gloucester. The wind
being ahead, anchor was dropped at the
mouth of the bay to await chance to pro
ceed. During the afternoon, news reached
the city that Capt. Jordan was selling some
of his gear to fishermen living in coves about
the entrance to the harbor, and last evening
the fishery cruiser Francis E. Conrod, Capt.
Smeltzer, was dispatched to ARE her. and
about ii o'clock the seizure was effected. A
crew from the cruiser was placed in charge on
board, and this morning the Conroi and her
prize returned to the city. The Flying Scud
is an old vessel, having been launched sixteen
years ago, but the seizure, on account of the
schooner's large cargo of fish, is probably the
most valuable made during the year. The
charge is one of the most serious under the
treaty. Advices of the affair have been tele-
graphed to Ottawa, but no orders have been
received up to this evening. The arrested
schooner is 66 tons register, and owned by
j. G. Proctor, Jr., of Gloucester.
Capt. Jordan of the Flying Scud deni the
charge Of selling gear, and says the Dominion
officers had no grounds upon which to seize
his vessel. He admits that q man from one
of the harbor fishing coveS came on boa d
bargaining for an old trawl and that he gave
it to him for 81, but Immediately handed the
money to acother man who accompanied the
purchaser, the two then departing with the
trawl and the dollar. Tie skipper considers
that this was no sale, that he violated no
treaty law, and scouts the idea of having
been guilty of trading.
