Mobbed While Distributing Circulars At
taclsIng Anthony cOmStock.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 2S.-Authony
Comstock lectured yesterday afternoon
to a large body Of men in Horticultural
Hall on "Social Purity" Among the
prominent divines present were Rev
DR.. Howard Crosby, Of New York; Rev
Drs. Macintosh and Henville, OF this
city; Rev. S. c. Brown, Elder Charles
Gettys, Elder Baldwin and Elder Nc
Glinsy.
While the moralist was expOunding
the doctrine Of social purity on the in.
side, l.. Lum Smith stationed himself
directly in front OF the entrance to the
hall, in the centre OF the pavement. In
his arms he carried q large bundle oil
circulars. This circulars attacked An
thony ComStoCk in violent terms.
When the crowd Commenced to pour
out OF the building Smith began to dis
tribute the circulars TO the men. The
first man who got one glanced over the
sheet and then, dropping it as if it had
been a dynamite bomb, gazed at the in
dustrious distributor in disgust.
In few moments the purport OF the
missive became krown, and the quiet
gathering OF five minutes before was
converted into mob of five hundred
angry men. They tore the bundle from
the astonished Smiths arms and hustled
and jolted him. Then some one sug-
gested that he be taken to the nearest
lamp-pOst and lynched.
Officer Mahafey, Of the Fifth district,
made his way through the crowd, grab.
bed Smith and shouted, "Clearthe way"
and with the assistance ofSpeCial officer
Dean, took Smith through the crowd
and to the Fifth district station house,
Fifteenth and Locust streets, followed
by large part OF the crowd who had
attended the meeting.
A charge OF melting riot was pre-
ferred against Smith by Thomas w:
Price, OF 1909 Mount Vernon street, and
Joseph X. Wheeler, Of 2026 Chestnut
street.
Smith was then taken to cell. Hard
ly had the sound OF the clicking lock
died away, when fnc.looking gentle
man entered the station house, and in
formed the police that he was L. Harri-
son Powers and that he intended to en-
ter bail for Smiths appearance. This
was accepted, and Smith was released on

Mr.. Depew Not In the Rnce-The President

New YORK, May 2S.-Chancey NJ. De-
pew, it is positively stated, is not in the
race for the Republican Presidential
nomination. A gentleman whose rela-
tions with Mr.. Depew are intimate is
authority for the statement. According
to this gentleman, the popular railroad
president has never admitted that he
was candidate, and the use OF his name
was not encouraged by him. His often
quoted remark that he was already n
president, and had honors enough, has
been received rs bit OF coy pleasantly.
Mr.. Depew's income from the Office he
holds is $4,000 a year, as much as the
President OF the United States receives.
All arrangements have been completed
for the reception Of President Cleveland
in this city on Decoration Day and for
the parade OF the Grand Army posts.
The President will review the parade at
the Worth monument, in Madison
square, and he will be surrounded by the
members OF the municipal government,
headed by Mayor Hewitt. The Prcsi-
dents escort will consist Of the veteran
battalion of the Old Guard, Major Me-
Lean commanding, led by the Tenth
Regiment band, OF Albany, and guard
Of honor selected from Grand Army
posts and citizcns'auxiliary committee.
Among the distinguished veterans who
will be seen in the parade are Gems.
John Newton, Franz Sigel, Daniel But
terfeld, John CochNne, Joseph B. Carr
and Daniel L. Slckles. In the evening
exercises will be held in the Metropol-
tan Opera House, where Chauncey NJ.

CHICAGOS LOVE FOR SHERIDAN.
wI,at Made the Great Soldier So Popular ii
the Western Metropolis.

tho Western Metropolis.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 2S.-The news
concerning Gen. sheridan's condition is
received with the greatest sorrow here
in Chicago, where the General was a
resident from 1869 to 1888. Yesterday
the services in many of the Chicago
churches were given a character in har-
mony with the spirit of memorial day.
The different posts OF the Grand Army
OF the Republic attended the several
churches in their official capacity and
the sermons were given largely to patri-
otic topics. Some of these sermons
were us stirring us were the uttOrances
of the men who delivered them in war
times, and in all OF them were reverent
and tender references to Gen. Sheridan.
Gen. Sheridan, while in Chicago, be-
came extremely popular with all classes
of people; and SO highly was he appre-
ciated rs citizen and soldier that
when he was about to be transferred to
Washington, leading men OF Chicago
presented him with beautiful residence.
On leaving Chicago Gen. Sheridan was
given dinner by the Commercial Club
and the Generals intimate relations
with Chicago were on that occasion hap
PLY spoken OF by j. w. Deane, who
said:
"Chicago can never forget Gen. Sheri-
dan, When the city was in flames, when
mems hearts failed them and ruin and
desolation stared us in the face all eyes
were turned to him, whom We honor
here this eveding. It was his cool brain
and prompt and ready courage that
greatly helped to check
THE DEvouRING FIRE.
ut is a matter OF record that, when
every moment was precious, without
waiting to consult the authorities at
Washington, he took 1t upon himself to
order troops and rations from neighbor-
ing cities and thereby averted riot and
bioodshed; and helped many thousands
Of our people to survive the severest
trials OF the hour. So successful was he
in this great crisis that the mayor pub
iicly rendered 10 him the thanks OF Chi
cago and its whole people. Nor was that
ali. In 1874, when the city was threat
nneu again WIFI tuUSe Ctllhl1lLleS, 1Cu,
Sheridan again was largely instrumental
in saving our homes and fortunes from
ruin and destruction. And once more,
| in 1877 when the communist riots lsc
destructive in other places threatened
Chicago, the General, by making rapiC
Journey OF 1000 miles, by appearing
quickly upon the scene, and by his Wis
and decisive action, rescued us for tn,
third time from what might have beer
a public misfortune Of no ordinary kind
Believe me, General, graceful people
will einbalmyour memory in their inner
most hearts. Representing, as we do
in some degree, the commercial interest
Of this great city, we feel that this Is
most fitting occasion TO acknowledgt
this publicly, and in the presence o
your friends whom we are proud +
welcome here to.night), your constan
Loyalty to this your chosen city, loyal
" which its citizens can never forget 8
long as Chicago holds her proud plae
among the chief cities OF the Union"

game in the field, but got onto Flana-

inning, when they scored four runs and
pulled the victory out of apparent de-
feat. Clarkson's pitching was fine, and
although Wheeling found him for eleven
hits, they were unable TO make them
effective. The features OF the game were
home runs by Rook and Fuller, and
brilliant stop OF a hot liner by Lemons.
Nearly all OF Wheeling's runs were made
on errors, the latter being made at criti-
