were just ten lodges in the state.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, June 15.-Last
night as DR.. Clark was selling patent med
icines at Market and Third streets, the Sal
walton army came out in force, and swept
through Market square. The parade was
composed Of men and women, and when
they got near the doctor they broke forth in
tumultous songs. They took stand near
his wagon, beating their drum and footing
their cornet. By and by the captain pro-
posed to charge through the crowd. DR..
Clark jumped down, and shouting ''follow
me-" faced the army. In less time than it,
takes to tell it the salvationists were in the
arms of the angry crowd and the rush
turned into mob. Several men were
knocked down on both sides. A hole was
kicked in the drum and middle-aged fe-
male soldier was knocked down, falling
flat on her back in the gutter. The police
were tossed and carried around with the
surging of the crowd. They were powerless
to quell the disturbance, and it was ended
only when the. army, broken and disor-
dered, fled to their hall. DR.. Clark talks
of bringing suit against the leaders of the
army.
