TOOK BACK HER CHARGES.
A Young Woman Alleges Gross Conduct
 Against a Clergyman.


 Against Clergyman.
 SEYMOUR, Conn, Dec 7.-Social circles in this place have been stirred to the very center by charges that have been preferred against the Rev. S. c. Williams, pastor of the Methodist church, by Mrs. Henry Robin son, pretty woman of 9 years, who, until recently, lived in West Haven.
 Mrs. Robinson went before Grand Juror Hart Culver day or two since, and had a warrant drawn up charging that the dominic had asked her to go to the barn one night last week to hold lantern while he stabbed his horse, and that he had there been guilty of gross conduct. The case did not come to trial, as the clergyman's friends in the church waited upon the grand juror and prevailed upon him to withdraw the complaint.
 At a meeting of the church committee at the Methodist church paper, signed by Mrs. Robinson, was read, ill which she said that Miss Emma Hubhell, young lady member of the church, had induced her to make the charges against the parson. The minis CTS friends claim that the scheme Was of blackmail, but those who are oppoSe'i t the clergyman say that Mrs. Robinson wa: n:,de to sign the paper read. It is said M.aa Hub bell is opposed to the dominic becaus4 she thought he tried hard to have certain stories that were af1oat regarding her investigated Ey the church.
 Some of the members of the church, not satisfied with the committees action, desire a meeting of the church held for the purpose of appointing committee to investigate Mrs Robinsons story and make formal report to the church. Rev. MT. Williams has only been in Seymour a few months. He was formerly stationed in New York and was once at the head of church in Brooklyn.

He entered Mrs. Potters room while she was absent at the theatre, and was collecting her jewelry together when he was discovered by servant, who promptly gave the alarm, and Buck was seized and held until the arrival of the police. When searched jewelry to the amount of more than S1, 900 belonging to Mrs. Potter was found in his possession.
 A valuable diamond ring was also found on him, which is believed to be the property of Mrs Jessie Bartlett Davis, who was robbed in this hotel several weeks ago. A large number of skeleton keys and number of pawn tickets for valuable jewelry were also found in his valise.

TWO TOO ARDENT LOVERS.

When They Fell Out They Proved Equally
 Ardent Haters.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Minnie Odell is the handsome and talented daughter of a car penter who lives in the romantic and historic scenes of Sleepy Hollow, made famous by Washington Irving Minnie is a writer of the Amelie Rives style, but produces her literary pyrotechnics in verse over the nom de plume appropriate to the locality of Nina Irving. In 1885 Miss Odell fell in love with 0 type writer named Palmer R. Wells, who is possessed of an affinitive disposition and is fully as romantic and volcanic as the young lady. They loved with great ardor for a time and became engaged. Miss Minnie finally tired of MT. Wells and discarded him. His letters, which had blazed with the fire of love, now glowed with the flames of hate. He cajoled and pleaded and threatened in the same lines, and finally, it is alleged, some of his letters became obscene. They were turned over to Postmaster Pearson, who, in turn, referred them to Anthony Comstock. The volcanic poetess had now taken the war path herself, and followed this up by suit for $50,O00, which is a very modest sum to demand of type writer. Wells has brought a counter suit claiming that the fair poetess has brought him into ridicule by causing un- true stories to be published about him. The people of Tarrytown are looking forward to the trials with anticipations of rich entertaip= ment

DAL Y'S STORY MAS TRUE.
It Is Proven by the Arrest of
 the Robbers.
INSPECTOR BYRNEs. GRTaTwORK

Neatly Arrested-A Bold Robbery Plot
 Unfolded-It Was Defeated by DaIy's
 Brave Resistance.
 NEW YORK, Dec 1.-The great Phil Daly mystery, which has kept New York in q high state of perplexity and expectation since Monday, has been entirely cleared up through the energy and carabjlity of New York's famous detective chief, Inspector Byrnes.
 The two men who did the shooting are be- hind the strong bars which guard the cells at police headquarters. They were placed there last night after practically confessing to the crime which almost cost Phil Daly his life.
 The latter gentleman, by the capture of the criminals, is placed under manifold obli- gations to Inspector Byrnes, chief of which is that it proves his story of the occurrences in the flat on Fourth avenue to be true to the lStter
 When Inspector Byrnes learned Monday night of the unprecedented attempt at mur- der and robbery in the flat of Addie Stanton on Fourth avenue, in which two mysterious masked men, two wom.S of more than ques- tionable reputations and Phil Daly were the chief characters, he dis ched two detect ives, Hickey and Crowley, to work up the case.
 In the meanwhile the inspector was not idle himself. He had separate interviews with each of the women connected in the case but what construction he put on the

BarrY's New Labor Order.

CHICAGO, Dec 7.-The Times publishes the text of an address issued by Thomas B. Barry, outlining the aims and purposes of the new organization which he proposes to form and which is to be known as the Brotherhood of United Labor." The organization will leave to trades or central branches complete juris- diction and control over their own affairs, If disputes arise between members and their employers, they will be settled by those most conversant with the trouble. The order will maintain friendly relations with all legiti- mate organizations of labor, It will draw the line closely on scabs and scabism. It will insist upon members giving fair manu= facturers preference when purchasing neces- sarieS of life

''The two men and women played cards all the morning in the rear room until noon.
 When Daly entered the parlor he was re- ceived by the Stanton woman, who seated him so that his back was toward the folding doors
 She then went into the rear room and told her confederates that all was ready. The Hammond woman then went down stairs
 'The two men, closely followed by Addie Stanton, crept stealthily toward the folding doors, Meredith was slightly in advance, holding self cooking revolver in his hand Daly heard the noise of the approaching step and turned hastily in his chair.
 He made jump for Meredith the instant he caught sight of the trio. Meredith, in a lit Of nervousness at the business in hand. unintentionaily pressed the trigger of the revolver, causing the weapon to go off.
 As soon as she saw the blood on Dalys face Addie Stanton said: My God, he's killedr The three then ran out into the street."
 The inspector would not say anything con- corning the past history of either Meredith or Herman He says that he will prove his statement, if necessary, when the case comes up for trial in the Jefferson Market court He said that Addie Stanton robbed man some time ago in style somewhat similar to that attempted on Daly.
 A reporter called upon MT. Daly at his apartments in the Strathmore last night and found him delighted at Inspector Bytnes' skill in catching his assailants.
 What do you think of the story that they intended to drug and rob you?" he was asked.
 "Wen,n said the veteran sporting man, that story that they intended to tie me up until l signed a check for S25,000 see1as queer. Such thing might occur in Italy, but it couldn't in New York. What would have donea Why, I'd have doubled it on them and played for jack pot of S50, 900"
 ''So you don't think they could have frightened the money out of you?" asked the reporter.
 Well, hardly" replied Daily; ''they would have found that they hadn't baby to deal with, Id have played the limit with them, you may rest assured. Yes, it was pure luck that I got off as well as did. If I hadn't put my glasses on to look at the picture would have been blinded by the powder, they were so close I'm glad that .Byrnes got them as it proves I told the truth from the start"
