WASHINGTON March 2e.-As indicated In these
dispatches several days ago the debate over INC

has placed the Republicans in serious dilemma.
On the one hand is the hostile feeling entertained

porting them adversely so that they might %

:PULL DOWN THE CROSS.

Jews Refuse to Worship in a Church on
which Two Crosses Had Been Allowed to
Remain.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-The new Mount
Sinai Congregation, composed Of wealthy
Hebrews, assembled tonight to attend the
dedication of the newly acquired temple
in East Seventy second street, but they
dispersed without having the ceremony
take place by order of Chief Rabbi
Joseph. The edifice was formerly used
by the Episcopalian congregation of st.
James, and in the alterations which have
been made two crosses have been allowed
by oversight to remain. When the time
for beginning the services arrived this
evening some of the congregation noted
the crosses upon the temple and con-
suited Chief Rabbi Joseph, who forbid
the services, and the assembled con-
gregation was dismissed. The objection
eble emblems will be removed and the dedi-
cation services will take place on Friday
next.

FIRES VICTIMS.
Thirteen Lives Lost in Burning
Tenement House.


New YonK, Aug. 3.-Thirteen people
were burned to death in a six-story brick
building in the rear of 1917 Bowery this
afternoon. Six more burned so badly that
they will probably die were removed to
various hospitals. The house was RAM
shackle affair hidden in the middle Of the
block, tho only entrance to it being mar
row allcy-way from the Bowery. In front
of IL was a four story building, on the first
floor of which was saloon called "The
White House." Adjoining this is Harry
Miners Peoples Theater. In the rear of the
burned building were two houses hemming
it in on the Christie-street side. In this
caged-in building lived about one hundred
and fifty people. Each of the six floors
was occupied by a single family, the head
of which was a tailor who made clothing
for the cheap wholesale clothing houses,
and employed from fifteen to twenty men,
women and children, in addition to his
own family, in making up the clothing.
They were nj Polish Jews, and employers
and employed worked, ate and slept in
the crowded rooms of the dingy tenement.
The tenants who rented the apartments
were s. Coon, s. Graft, Klein g. Marks,
s. Harris and H. Levine.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 5.-William
Vanpntton and R. E. Brooks, both of Mich
igan, located three miles from Cleveland,
Tenn. two years ago, buying farms in the
same neighborhoed. Both were married
and had two children. Three weeks ago,
by the agreement of all parties con-
cerned, the men traded wives. Every
thing has been moving on pleasantly and
agreeably since the trade until yesterday,
when Vanpatton visited Cleveland to con-
suit a lawyer in reference to resembling
his former action and trading back. Van
patton's wife is SO well pleased with her
new husband that she refuses to return
to her former home. Mrs. Brooks is also
satisfied with Vanpatton, and expresses a
willingness to remain with him. The only
party that has kicked SO far is Vanpatton
himself. The people of Cleveland feel
outraged over the conduct of these parties,
and steps will be taken to have them all
arrested and prosecuted to the fullest ex-
tent of the law.

The doors and windows of dwelling houses

FROM A MAD HOUSE.
A Louisville Lady Appears In the
Chancery Court,
Telling the story Of Her Unwarranted In
carceration-Strange Features
of the Case.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. IA sensational end
ing to a once famous lunacy sase tran
spired in chancery court this morning.
Mrs. Mary M. Pulliam, a lady of much re-
flnement, was released from q mad-house
after having been incarcerated in It for
over three years. She was sent there, she
claims, through a desire on the part of her
husband to become possessed of her for
tune. The case attracted widespread at
tention in Louisville owing to her social
position and the business standing of
her husband, Henry Clay Pulliam, of
the firm of Page & Pulliam, tobacco
warehouse men. At the time OF
her alleged collapse Of mind the lady
was at the head of n large purchasing
agency, and from her earnings had built
fine residence on Broadway, between Sew
enth and Eighth streets. 1t is said that
her mind began to fail then, and her fam
iiy took various measures, and finally
landed her in the Anchorage Asylum for
the Insane. She remained there until this
morning, when she was brought into court
upon an affidavit stating she had recov-
cred her mind. At the time neither
her husband nor any of her family were
in attendance. Mrs. Pulliam was placed
upon the stand and made most favor
able impression. She made statements
while testifying which reflected strongly
|. upon her husband and charging him with
having her sent to mad-house in order to
get possession of her money and property.
She alleges also that one day upon her re-
fusal to give Mr.. Pulliam more money to
speculate with, he placed her in a carriage
and drove her to the asylum. She was not,
she says, even examined by physician.
Mrs. Pulliam further stated that while
confined in the asylum her husband visited
her and offered to have her liberated IL
she would agree to give up the money he
wanted. A number of prominent people,
including Rev. j. M. Weaver, Major A. G..
Davis, and Mr.. Zack Phelps, the attorney,
testified this morning to Mrs. Pulliam's
business qualifications and soundness of
mind, when Chancellor Edwards dis
charged the lady from custody. A strange
feature Of the trial was that neither hus-
band nor any Of his family were present
during the investigation. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Pulliam are well known throughout
Kentucky and Tennessee.
