A WEALTHY NLNPioMANlAC.
A Woman Who Constantly Steals
From the Big Dry Goods stores,

Boston, Mass, Dec. 22.-The man
ager of large fremont street dry
goods house was surprised this after
noon to see three books disappear under
the cloak of an elegantly dressed lady
who stood at one of mis- counters. There
was such an evident air of respectable
ity about her that he hesitated
for a moment to speak to her.
The maid who accompanied
the lady caught his purpose,
and approaching him said in whisper:
That is all right. She can't help it,
and her husband will settle for every
thing" and with this card was thrust
into the hands of the manager. He
looked at it in surprise. for it bore the
name of a well-known Back Bay minis
ter. He let the two women depart,
although he did not know but the whole
scheme was well-laid plan TO escape
from the clutches OF the law. lnvesti-
CATION, however, shows sad case.
The husband of the woman occupies
one of the leading pulpits in the Back
Bay, and is wealthy. His wife is about
forty-fYe years of age, thin, and OF
yellowiSh complexion, and in poor
health. Thievng with her is undoubt-
eddy a disease and an incurable one. 1t
is so recognized by her husband, who
naturally deeply laments it, and also by
the many doctors who have been called
upon TO examine her. 1t is also recog-
nized by the large stores of the city. and
she is allowed to steal small things
without direct opposition. The clerks
are warned against her and are told
TO watch her carefully, notice
what she takes, and then a
bill is sent 10 her husband
who settles it without muimur. A
maid has been employed to personally
accompany the lady, whose sole duty is
to watch her and see that she does not
get into trouble. Should there be any
interference by floor walkers who do
not know her. or by clerks who are not
posted, the maid relates the facts. tells
her name. gives address, and insuuctS
them to send in bill for the goods to
the husband. For something like three
wears this kleptomania has haunted the
large stores of the city almost every
week, and never goes away without
having taken something for which she

COLORED MAN ORDAINED
And What Is Expected to Grow
Out oft

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 23.-An
event of more than ordinary interest in
Episcopal religious circles occurred here
yesterday. 1t was the ordination by
Bishop Howe to the deaeonate of Rev.
E. n. Holtings, young negro theolog-
zeal student. Holtings is the second
colored man who has taken holy orders
in the diocese of Charleston. He is
thirty-three years old, was born in
Charleston and educated at the Saxon
School for Freedmen, established here
by Northern philanthropists at the close
of the war. The ordination services
took place at st. Marks, the coored
Episcopal church of the city. the clergy
men participating being Bishop Howe
and Rev. Doche a. Porter. and J. Y.
Welcn. white, and J. H. NJ. Pollard,
colored. There was only sprinkling
of white persons present. The ordina-
ton bears directly upon the color war
that has been raging in this diocese for
the last ten years. This war led two
years ago to the withdrawal from the
diocese convention of most of the prom
inent lay delegates and several prom
inent clergymen. The difficulty was
temporarily bridged over, but the fight
is expected to be renewed at the con-
vention in 1889. The ordination of Mr..
Holtings is regarded as declaration by
the clerical wing that they intend to re-
main steadfast for the rights of the col
ored brethren.

POLICE IN THE WAY.
Chicago's Anarchists Again Fail
to Hold a Meeting.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The proposed an
nrchist meeting this afternoon, within
sight of police headquarters, and in
spite of the authorities, did not take
place. Throughout the day the hall
chosen remained closed, and the gath
ering of the so-called Arbeiter Bund
was quietly but effectually prevented.
There was no display of force or mass
ing of police about the premises. The
hall is controlled by the plastarers'
union, and the renting of the
was done without its knowledge
10y the janitOr of the build
ing. The union at its regular meeting
last night appointed committee to
wait on Chief of Police Hubbard, and.
assuring him that the plasterers had no
sympathy with anarchists, arranged
course of action. The committee saw
the chief to-day, and while talking over
the matter with him, j. Henry Kraft,
the attorney for the bund, arrived
Chief Hubbard reiterated his determi-
nation that the meeting must not be
held, and that if the bund wanted TO sue
anybody for breach of contract in re-
gard to the renting of the hall, it could
sue him. The PlastererS' committee
Immediately returned to the hall and
instructed the janitOr not to open it.
In the meantime
TWO POLICEMEN
had been sent TO the hall and had given
the same instructions. A little before
3 o'clock Captain of Police Fitzpatrick
and Lieut.. Laughin went to the hall
and took charge of the entrance. At
. o'clock forty or fifty members of the
Arbeiter Bund, including six women,
headed by Albert Curlliu, arrived at
the hall and asked the secretary of the
PlaStercIs' union, Thomas Clancy, why
it was not open for them. Clancy re-
piled that it had been ordered closed by
the chief of police, and added that, now
that his union knew who wanted the
hall. it would never be rented to them
again. Captain Fitzpatrick told Curiln
they could not hold a meeting there
without a permit from the police depart
ment. This was something the bund
had not obtained. At this point At
torney Kraft came up and instructed
his constituents to make no further
attempts to hold meeting.
The police have prevented your holding a
meeting he said, Just what your bill for
injunction alleges they threatened to do and
what you feared they would do. This &C.
lion on the part of Chief Hubbard makes it
much clearer sailing in the injunction pro-
ceeding."
Albert Curllin and the other leaders
present quietly followed their attor-
neyS advice and left the vicinity.
Some of the members tarried about on
the sidewalks for awhile, until ordered
to move on by the police. They scat
tered then, some going home and the
others to the ncighboring saloons.

A ROW IN PROSPECT.
The Very Interesting Predicament
of the Indiana Senate.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2S.-The
Indiana senate, from present indica-
tons, is pretty certain to begin its next
session with another row, which will in
volve complications somewhat similar
to the Snarl two years ago, except that
it is hardly probably that the trouble
will continue longer than the first week,
and will not seriously interfere with
legislation. 1t will be fight over the
old question as to who shall preside
over the body. Green Smith is no longer
a member of the senate. and conse-
Quently cannot be the presiding officer.
Col. Robertson is the lieutenant gov
ernOr until the first Monday after the
beginning of the regular session of the
senate, and is the legally constituted pre-
siding officer of that body. 1t is his duty
as such to call the senate to order when
it organizes for the session, but if he is
prevented from being present it is pro.
vided that the auditor of the state shall
preside during the organization,
and in the absence of the auditor
also one of the judges of the
supreme court shall temporarily attend
to the duties of the position. 1t APP
pears, therefore, that it is inevitable
that the Democratic senate. if it is dis
posed to be law abiding, must submit to
the rule of a Republican presiding Of
ficer, but the rebellious spirit of the ma
jority will propably manifest itself in
an endeavor to determine as matter Of
preference who that Republican shall
I,a = hnr 4n
ognize Col. RObertSOn'S right to preside,
after having kept him out of the posi-
ton all through the session two years
ago in defiance of the law and the
courts. 1t is understood that it is his
determination to assert his rights. The
course that will be pursued, it is ex-
pected is to dispute Robertson's right
to preside over the senate, and, after he
has called it to order, elect president
from among the members to fill the po-
sition until the beginning of the new
lieutenant governors term.

noon which had been left at district

tons not to deliver before II o'clock in

Col. Schoonmaker is disabled by rheu-
matism, and he sent Henry Van
Wrinkle, his brother-ln-law, and Mrs.
Schoonmaker to the Bond street fiat.
They found the young couple lying in
bed in their night clothes, and tightly
clasped in each others arms. They
were covered with blood from three
wounds in the young woman's head and
side, and one wound in young Schoon-
makers temple. The dying woman
was taken to the Long Island College
hospital. Col. Schoonmaker says his
son must have been insane. He had a
good position with prominent house.
and his salary had recently been in
creased. His domestic life had been
very happy. His wife was a beautiful
young woman. She had left their four
teen-months-old child with her sister
Thursday for few days visit. The
couple had been housekeeping six
months. Col. Schoonmaker says he
can now recall some of his sons
actions which had been rather odd. but
not enough so to excite suspicion of in
sanity at the time. He was popular
young man among his associates, and
was member of the Twenty-third
regiment, n. G.. S., n. Y, and of Beau
mont Council, Legion of Honor. The

PROVIDENCE, Dec. 23.-Nearly 300
members Of the Grand Order of Rail-
way Conductors, representing the New
England, Middle and Western lines, at
tended the union meeting of the order
in Music hall to-day, under the auspices
of the Providence division, No. Isl. a
number of officials connected with the
local roads were present. A. r. Whal-
ley, chairman of the committee of ar
rangements, presided. After music
Rev. George W. King, pastor Of the
Broadway NJ. E. church, offered prayer.
Grand Chief Conductor Calvin 3.
Wheaton, of Cedar Rapids, Ia. was the
first speaker. lie said the order had
been for fifteen years near his heart.
Some of his points were that the
orders proposed to save the conduc-
tor from temptation, to lift up his man
hood. The conductor is much away
from home. The railroads will be in
duced to allow him to come home
oftener and not to keep him waiting at
distant terminal stations. The order
looks after the wives and children of
the conductors, and these corporations
are interesting themselves to second its
efforts. The Y. NJ. c. A. is doing a
good work, but the work of this order
is different. The Y. NJ. G.. A. looks
after the spiritual condition of the rail-
readers, but this order looks after their
moral condition. The conductors are
united, he said. on basis of
OPPOSITION TO STRIKES.
They believe that one gentleman can
adjust his grievances with another gen
tleman without resorting to strikes.
Gov. Taft was the next speaker. He ell
larged upon the qualifications of rail
road conductor and said he could con-
ceive of no higher aim than that sought
by this organization. He welcomed the
order to the city and state. Supt. j. B.
Gardiner, of the n. Y, p. & b. X. r.,
was then called up. He was gratitied
that the order had selected this city as
its place of meeting. Looking over
some statistics he found that there
were $4,000 conductors i'll the
country, and about 1900 of
them were members of this order.
lie believe there should be mutual con-
1idence between conductors and super
intendents, and said already the con-
ductors were held in high respect.
American railways have developed the
commercial growth OF every city, town
and state throughout which they have
run, and the railway conductor in the
faithful performance of his duty is con-
trbuting to the growth and prosperity OF
the country. The business meeting of
of the several local divisions was held
at 80 p. m. The division officers were
installed by the grand officers. Routine
business mainly of private nature fol-
lowed, and Providence division enter
tanned its guests. The next annual
meeting will be held in May.

An Interesting Battle for Suprem-
acy in ShebOygan, Wis, Con-

SHEBoYGAN, Wis, Dec. 22.-One cold
night in November, 1887, half a dozen
men, with their coat collars turned up
over their ears, walked silently past the
German Lutheran st. Peters church,
and, turning around the corner, walked
up the front steps of the parsonage
and rang the bell. The door was
shortly opened. and the men disap-
peared into the house. A few minutes
later there was noise inside the parSon-
ace net unlike a washboiler tnmbling
down a long flight of stairs, the front
door was suddenly burst open from
within and man shot out in such haste
that he landed in the middle of the
road. No hat protected his diSheveled

coat was left behind. The bewildered
man on the frozen highway was -he oc-

open doorway and heaped in a confused
mass on the walk. During the eviction
Rev. Holfman'S wife ran screaming
from the household and took refuge with
a neighbour. The determined, silent six
men. who took part in this strange
scene, were trustees of the Lutheran
church. and the affair in which they
participated was one chapter in the in
teresting fight between some OF the
church members and their pastor. The
battle commenced two years ago, and
is still being vigorously fought. 1t was
along in the fall of 1856 that Rev. J. J.
Hoffman fell from grace. At meeting
of the board of trustees a majority of
the congregation decided to give the

New YORK, Dec. GA week ago
late in the afternoon, there sat in the
parlors or the Knickerbocker club IN
attache of the British legation at Wash
ington and a prominent New York club
man. They were friends, and both had
rooms in the Hotel Brunswick. They
discussed the annoyance of dressing for
evening.
Suddenly he started. "I'Jl lay you a
fiyer," he said, "that can go from here
to my room at the Brunswick, take off
these clothes, dress i'll my evening rig,
and be back here in fifteen minutes"
Always takes me an hour. BeaStly

Two friends were called in, two cabs
sent for, and the race began. The news
rounded the friends. who sat holding
their watches open and gazing down the
avenue. Five. ten minutes passed.
They'll never do it," said the crowd,
when suddenly hansom cab with the
horse in full gallOp appeared. As it
neared a club man III full evening

from it and ran into the club door. 1t
was the Englishman. He won the race
in exactly 1890. The New Yorker came
along ten minutes and q half behind
him and paid the bet.
Two days ago the Englishman, hay
ing secured five or six FLYERS" in bets
that he couldn't beat his previous rec
ord, captured them by appearing in ten
minutes.
This afternoon at the club was
crowded. The Englishman had again

timers with stop-watches were selected.
He was permitted to have his cab in
readiness and to apprise his valet at
the hotel. He wore a rough business
suit, and was examined from top
to toe, even his stockings be-
ing looked at to make sure he did not
have silk ones worn underneath. Ink
was daubed on his sleeves, shirt bosom
and collar, and, finally, amid GREATNESS
excitement, he was allowed to depart.
Two club men were stationed at his

his coming. He entered the cab, the
driver dashed his horse. and the novel
race began. He reached the hotel,
jumped from the cab, rushed up stairs,
undressed, and went to draw on his
shirt, but the studs were missing.
This second Phineas Fogg was not
dismayed. He dashed to the bureau
drawer, said quietly ''-you," to the
careless valet, found the studs, put
them in, drew on his shirt, clothes,
stockings. and boots, and ran down
stairs. He jumped in the cab, tied his
bow there, then drew on and buttoned
his gloves, donned his overcoat, and in
exactly SIN minutes and tWenty-eight

in dispatching four of the bears. and
wounding fifth before losing sight of
the game in the thicket. Flushed with
his success the professor sprang in the
brush in pursuit, when he was suddenly
confronted by the wounded animal-a
monster female. In turning he fell.

and given violent shaking. Dropping
him, she caught him in the inside of the
right leg above the knee. tearing off sew

female turned to growl at it, and the
professor, who had throughout retained
hold of his rife with his right hand,
succeeded in giving her fatal shot in
