The East vs.. The West.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-Thc opposition
to the consideration of bills from the
committee on public grounds and build.
ings in the house has forced a union of
representatives from the west as against
those of the east. the latter being led by
Mr.. Randall. There is a very strong feel.
ing existing among western members at
this combination for opposition to the
consideration Of bills for public buildings
in the west. and they are determined to
bring the matter to IN issue and force a
fair hearing in the case of right and JUS
tice. The east is SO thoroughly provided
for in the way OF public buildings that
they are in favor of rigid economy SO far
as 1t affects other sections than their own
and they have combined to prevent a fair
consideration of the west in the way of
public buildings Mt the present session.
The chief reason for til. opposition of the
east is because of the anti protectionist
sentiment in the west,

OUTLAW Barbarism;

LITTLE Rock, Feb. lin the Kimishi
mountains, Indian territory, Saturday
morning. five masked men called at the
house of Reuben Williamson, q wealthy
cattle owner, seized and bound him and
demanded of Mrs. Williamson to be
shown where the money was concealed.
He was supposed to have about $500 in
the house. The robbers then held Will.
liamson's bare hands on the hot etove.
When Williamson became unconscious
his wife gave them $500 and a certificate
of deposit for the balance of the money,
which was in a Kansas City bank, after
which they left. Williamson's injuries
r supposed 10 be fatal. Settlers and
rancllcrs are after the outlaws and they
will probably be lynchcd.

A Parsons Lapse.

CHICAGO, Feb. For some time past
minors of a disagrecable nature have been
disturbing the minds of the congregation Of
the Ida Street Methodist Episcopal church,
and they have at last eliminated In a scandal
that has caused unprecedented excitement
among that portion of the religious commu-
nifty. The alleged culprit is Rev. j. p. Brush
ingham, pastor of the above named church.
He was arrested this evening on u warrant
charging illcegitimatc parentage, sworn out
by Miss Eva Parker, a young lady o eightecn,
who has recently become a mother. Brush
ingham's legal adviser said to a reporter that
his client had never heard of the charge
until the child was born. He then immed-
lately called a meeting of the official board of
the church, which, after dcliberatiou, passed
u resolution expressing belief in his limo
ccncc, and a determination to stand by him.
Tho. lawyer charges that the whole thing is an
attempt at blackmail. Mr.. Buckingham
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his appear
ancc in the criminal court. He will also have
u church trial, which will take place soon, and
in the meantime will suspend his labors as

The General Manager Sued.

- NV
WOOSTER, o., Feb. 1.-Among the cases
docketed for hearing by. the circuit court,
which convened Tuesday, Is that Of Mary
Bartol VS.. Thomas Thompson Eckert. The
case is a sensational one, and originated
nearly half a century ago. The plaintiff,
now a widow, residing here, wa then Miss
Mary Flemming, n belle Of this city, where
the defendant, now Gen. Thomas T. Eckert,
general manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, was an apprentice in q har-
ness shop. Young Eckert vas particularly
attentive to Miss Flcmming and their mar
riagc was anticipated by the community. In
fact, Miss Flemming had gone SO far as to
prepare her trousscau. According to her re-
cital of the affair, che had accepted Eckert as
IL sutton and the wedding was to have taken
place ut Massilon, one night In
the winter Of 1912. The young
couple were to accompany a sleigting
party to Massilon. and while there
were to he welded quietly, and then surprise
their friends by the announcement Of their
union. The sleighing party went to MASH
Ion, but the groom-elcct failed to take Miss
Flemming thithcr. She states that this neg
lect on his part was due to a dispute with his
father, who opposed his marriage with her.
Young Eckcrt's visits to the Flemming resi-
dence became less frequent, and finally ter
minated entirely. Then the young lady In
stitutcd legal proceedings for breach of
promise. A jury in common pleas court gave
her a verdict OF. s,5O0 damages. This judy
ment was never satisfied, although efforts
have been uiadc to collect the money. Both
Miss Flemining and Eckcrt entered the mat
rimonial state and the woman is a worthy
widow of Wooster, and Eckcrt is we'll known
by his connection with the Western Union
Telegraph company. Sympathy is with the
woman, as the opinion is general that she
should have received the money long ago.
Counsel for the defense have endeavored to
have the cases dropped On account of some
technical point regarding statutes of limita-
tion. The judgment has been renewed and
the question of its renewal is yet to be finally
decided, hence the appeal to the circuit court.
