An Adventist Elder BlameS the Devil ana
the Woman, Addie Knapp, EOr His Moral
Ruin.
Topeka, Kan, April 10-Elder- John
Riley. one OF The oldest and most promi-
nent Adventist ministers or the West and
for sixteen years n pastor at Council Grove,
was arrested yesterday by 9 deputy United
States marshal while delivering a tenn
perance lecture a. BurlinsaDe, and was
brought here to-day. 80 he is charged with
sending obscene matter through the mails
and his case will be considered By the
United States grand jury and he Will vn-
doubtedly be indicted, as the evidence
against him is very strong. In the coe6re-
CATION presided over by Elder Riley at
Council Grove is good-lockinR little
woman, the wife OF = hard-workinR ear
penter named Coates. For sono time the
husband had had suspicion that all was
not right between his wife and her pastor.
but it was not until q short tsms ago that
his suspicious were verified
One day when his wife changed her dress
he scare he'd her pockets and found letters
addressed 10 Addie Knapp. his wife's-
maiden name. He accused her or being
unduly familiar with Riley. and she con-
fessed her sin. Then no took tho letters
and put them in his tool chest tor safe
keeping, but she becoming SwSHe ar the
hiding place, broke open the lock, took the
letters and burned them.
The next day Coates went 10 the poot-
office and inquired If there was Gny mail
for Miss Addie Knapp, and was handed a
letter, which he opened. IL happened TO
be even more disgusting than any OF the
others, and requested the wife TO meet
Riley at the Commercial House at Leroy.
Coates Immediately entered COM plaint-
against Riley and he was arrested, He
does not deny having written the letters,
but seeks TO lay the blame upon the woman,
saying that the devil must have got hold OF
him, and that not one man q hundred
would have wlthstood the temptations he
had undergone.

captured by citizens and taken TO the

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Efforts to Limit the Time For Debate {
the Tariff Hill.

Efforts to Limit the Time For Debate on
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 19.--Pursuant to a.
call the Democratic members OF the House
met in caucus last night to consider the
length of time during which the debate on
the Tariff bill should continue. The caucus
was well attended, 10 members being
present, including Speaker Carlisle and
Mr.. Randall The proceedings were con-
fined to expressions of opinion as TO the
length Of time to be allowed for the tariff
debate. There appeared TO be Il feeling IN
some quarters it would be unwise TO adopt
any castiron rule which might operate TO
deprive the more important committees
such as the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors-of the privilege of taking
advantage of any intervals in the tariff
debate to press their favorite measures
to the point of action. There was.
however, no spirit of controversy
developed and a very moderate tone char
acterized all the speeches on the subject.
1t was generally admitted that The Repub-
hcan minority should be afforded the full
est and freest opportunity to discuss and
amend the pending bill, and the caucus
closed by adopting the following resolu-
ton:
ResolUed, That the Democratic members OF
the Ways and Means Committee be requested
TO confer with their associates on the committee
and endeavor 10 reach an agreement as TO the
time during which debate on the Tariff bill shall
continue

Summary Punishment OF . Negro Rapist
at Tiptonville.
Information reached the city yesterday
of the summary disposal of brutal negro
/. fiend at Tptonyille, Lake county, on
Wednesday morning. The account is as
follows:
On Saturday last information was given
to the authorities that Jerry Smith, a col
ored man, had attempted to rape white
girl aged about twelve years, and the
daughter of farmer residing about three
miles from Tiptonville. The constable
went in search OF the scoundrel, and after
a race through the overlooked bottoms,
during which both stood good chance of
being drowned, succeeded in capturing
him and placed him in Jail.
, Wednesday was court day at Tiptonville,
and the prisoner was to be tried, but Judge
Lynch arrived in town Just before day
break. The impromptu jurist convened
his court, tried, convicted and executed
the culprit before the legitimate tribunal
was called to order. The body of the las
civious negro was seen yesterday morning,
about quarter OF q mile back from the
bank of the river, suspended from tree.
AS is usual with Judge Lynch and his fol-
lowers, their work was done without leav-
ing trace OF their identity.
