Around the walls were tiers of
hunks, scrawled and disfgured by
Chinese figures and dirt. There
were four wooden chairs and four
long tables. This was the entire
outfit of the comfortable quarters to
which the President had ordered us.
We refused to stay in this wretch
ed hole and then Reynolds told us
we could have the dining room.
This was the same size, equally as
bad in every respect as the first, but
without the hunks, and as we found
that we could not better our unfor-
tunate condition, we submitted un-
der bitter protest to remain.
We received one new straw mat
tress, one straw pillow, and from n
pile of blue horse blankets which
were alive with moths, and which
dropped to pieces, were told to
select our bedding; which offer L
declined. Understand, there was
no bedstead, no mosquito net, no
sheets, no pillow slips, no chamber
utensils of any kind, no water in the
room, and we had to sleep on the
table. The woman in charge upon
seeing the state of my face on the
next morning, volunteered with ex-
pressions Of sympathy to give me
her own mosquito net. The rats
ran round the room and over us in
the most friendly manner possible,
and showed appreciation of our
boots. To get drink of water we
had to go about fifty feet across the
enclosure to tank, where we could
wash or drink-not towel, brush,
or comb. The w. G. was 60 feet
away, over single plank across a
mud hole to roofless enclosure
jutting over the sea.
On Tuesday night, the 18th inst. :,
there came on heavy storm, and
after we had been on the table,
otherwise bed, for three hours, we
were awakened to find ourselves in
perfect shower bath from every
| part of the roof, and we were wet
through, our beds saturated, our
clothes clinging to us, and there we
sat like half-drowned rats, praying
for daylight, our boots floating
round full, causing us to wish we
could get full also.
After we had been in this hole 5
days, DR.. Emerson with Mr.. Thurs
ton, Mr.. S. Damon and Mr.. Rey-
nolds, visited us on Wednesday at
midday. | don't know what they
came for, but they never asked if
we wanted anything, and having
stayed about one hour they left.
Reynolds came first on the Mon
day, and l complained of our treat
ment, but he made no reply and did
nothing to remedy the evils. He
came again on the Wednesday. On
Thursday the 10th, he came and
rendered our bills, stating that he
would discharge us if we would pay
his charges. / objected and refused
to pay, when he said that 1 should
stay there until l would make up
my mind to pay. After some con-
sultation, the whole of us being sick,
weary, and unhappy, we consented
to the eXtortion, and under protest
paid, and with a heartfelt sigh OF
| joy, left the filthy precincts of the
quarantine station.
With the earnest hope that this
article will achieve the purpose for
which. it is written, namely, to com.
pei the authorities to remedy the
evils before the next batch of vic.
tins are deported there, we sub.
scribe ourselves,

Fall of a Mennonite Bishop,

Lancaster. Pa, Special.
An old man, honored by the Christian
denomination of which he a member with
the highest Office in its gift, and known hitherto
as one whose life exempfed his pulpit teach
ings, has confessed sin that made necessary
his deposition from the Office of clergyman and
bishop. ~ ia
Rev. Christian Bomberger. seventy years old.
many years identified with the Mennonite
Church. and for generation at least one of the
most venerated residents of the town of Lititz,
ten miles from here, stands before the com
munity If-convicted of immortality. One re-
deeming feature in the sad affair is that the
name of the unfortunate woman involved is
kept out of the reach of those who reveie in
scandal
The x-bishop inherited his clerical Office
almost. For generations the family Of which
he is a member has been promineIlt in the
Mennonite Church. He himself was student
of the Scriptures, apparently earnest worker
for the Outstanding of his fellow men and
since 1860 bishop. His father and grand
father were ministers His fall is the sensation
of the day in this region.
Mr.. Bomberger's felow-iaborers in the church
desired TO deal with him without harshuess. His
honored ancestry, his services in the
church's behalf remembered. But the
cause of religion in general. the good repute of
the denomination in general, left them but one
resource.
They deposed him from his clerical position
and communicated him from fellowship.

LAW OFFICERS DEFIED.
Police Force and Sheriff's Posse Held at
Bay By One Woman and Man.

WILLIAMsPoRT. Pa. Jan. 16-Frank Gordon,
murderer and forger, in n farm house,
all day yesterday. successfully held at
bay the officers Of the law who
came to arrest him. The garrison of his inn
provised fortress consists of Gordon himself and
Maggie Tate. the woman with whom he has been
living. The besieging army included the police
force of Williamsport, the sheriff Of the county
and his posse and goodly proportion of the cti-
zens OF the town. Gordon il a desperate char
acter Less than year ago he was released
from the Eastern penitentiary after serving out
part OF his sentence of five years for the muir
der of George Lewis. On Saturday detectives
succeeded in tracing to him number of for
geries, which were not for large amounts, that
have recently annoyed the officers Of the Lum-
berman's National Bank. Gordon's accomplish
was James Hinke. The amount obtained by
the forgeries does not exceed $500. On Satur-
day, however, the forgery was discovered, and
warrants We're issued for the arrest of Gordon
and young Hinkle. The latter was arrested
late Saturday night Gordon heard of it and
swore he would not be taken without a fight
The officers intrusted with the warrants pursued
the forger TO the house of Maggie Tate, and de-
manded Ambulance. The redoubtable Maggie
appeared at a window with her finger pressed
upon the trigger of big revolver and threat
ened to shoot the first who attempted to
enter. Guards were then placed around the
house to prevent an escape, and so the night
passed. When daylight came the siege was re-
newed. Hundreds of citizens arrived from all
quarters of the city, and stood behind the police
at safe distance, gazing upon the closed window
blinds. The crowd urged the officers to break in
the door. The officers, after a conference, con-
cluded not to do SO. The crowd Kissed, bat the
police paid no attention. All day long the peo-
pie fingered. and when darkness came, the
streets were blocked Special officers were APP
pointed to relieve those who had been on duty
for many hours. Not sign of light could be
seen within the barricaded house. A dozen
men got together and volunt eered to lead the
officers in assault, but their services were de-
clined. and at a late hour many of the people
left, disguised at the police for allowing
woman to keep them at bay It is expected
that vigorous efforts will be made to day to Sc
cure Gordon.
The officers finally gave up the contest. having
understood that Gordon had been seen late
Saturday night. when he had anEoun ced that he
was gong to Philadelphia. It is reported to
night that Gordon to-day in the back
yard of the house in which he was supposed to
have been hiding. He had not been run down
by the officers, however. The amount of the
forgery in which Gordon involved was
about $500. His accompiice was arrested and
placed under ST. 900 bail.
