ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH.I
CAIRO, ILL, January 19.-Captain Mark
Cole, of the steamer Sentinel, vouches for
the following remarkable event: On Wednes-
day last, while en- route to Golconda after
rock with his boat, and while Immediately
abreast with the New Liberty, mid-river, he
crippled with a shotgun a huge black eagle,
which was soaring slowly toward the Ken
tucky shore. The bird fell about 100 yards
on the shore below Hamlettsburg, and after
considerable trouble was secured and taken
aboard the boat. Its wings measured eight
feet two inches from tip to tip, pronounced
by the denizens of the locality to be the
largest ever known in that section.
The bird was taken to Golconda, and as
it was supposed to be badly crippled and
unable to fly, was located in the court yard
which was surrounded by high wire
fence. Yesterday a negro boy
about years old ventured within
the inclosure, and in some manner excited
the ire of his eagleship, who instantly de-
veloped sufficient strength and activity to
pounce upon the child and fixing its talons
into his shoulders began slowly ascending,
Tapping his broad wings violently in the
meantime
The boy screamed loudly in his terror and
pain. Assistance did not arrive until
he was suspended five feet from
the ground. The feathered monster
dropped his cargo and quietly
lighted into corner of the yard apparently
not in the least excited over his failure to
procure winter supply of food. The
shoulders of the boy were considerably
scratched but not seriously.

SHAM0KIN WHITE CAPS.
They Slash a Harmless Idiot Until He Is Un.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, January 19.-The
White Cap outrages near Coal Run sur
passes in atrocity the exploits of that in
famous organization in other States Pat
rick Doolan and two Hungarian laborers left
the mines of the Corbin colliery at o'clock
yesterday morning to go to theirhomes at
Springfield, mile from this city, and two
miles from the mines.
When near their homes they met 30
armed men wearing black masks and white
caps. Four of the men were carrying a
naked man whose person resembled a quar-
ter of raw beef. This appearance was
caused, SO the leader told the aston
ished and affrighted miners, by hav-
ing 20 lashes of cat-o'-nine-tails
laid on him. When the procession
reached the spot where Doolan and the
White Caps stood, the bleeding man, who
was unconscious, was held up in front of
the workmen, who recognized him as
Thomas Hague, of Coal Run, reputed a
harmless idiot, who, it was claimed had
tried to assault a girl.
A rope was then tied around Hague and
he was cast into the ice-cold stream and
dragged up and down in the water for a
short while, when he was laid on the bank.
A White Cap then ordered Doolan and his
men to kneel and remain in that position
until they were out of sight. The men did
SO and the band disappeared in the woods.
The workmen carried Hague into hostelry
in Springfield, where he now lies at the
point of death. The alarm was at once
given and bands ofangry miners secured the
woods for miles around, but no trace of the
brutes could be found Yesterdays mail
brought number of warnings to different
people to leave Shamokin in "a hours or re-
ceive punishment from the White Caps. It
is feared that there will be bloodshed, as
everybody is heavily armed.

CHURCH AND STATE In QUEBEC.
Protestant Feeling Greatly Aroused Against
Cardinal and Jesuits.


Cardinal and Jesuifs.
MONTREAL, January 19.-As a result of
the attitude of the Jesuits particularly, and
the Catholic Church generally, in Quebec,
there seems likely to be bitter religious
warfare here and in Ontario shortly A
special to the Witness, of this city, tonight
from Ottawa, says:
The Orangemen and Young Britons of Of
tawa, who describe themselves asloyal subjects
to Her Majesty in petition to the Governor
the disallowance of the Quebec Jesuits act,
refer to the evil results of the interference of
Jesuits in political affairs and protest against
any money grants to men who maintain that no
laws of the Protestant sovereigns. 1t would,
In the opinion of the petitioners, lead to raids
on the public treasury by every kind of relig-
1ous institution.
printed copy of the petition to every city, town
and village in Ontario inviting the signatures
of the Protestant associations of every kind,
and OF Protestant citizens in general, after
which the monster petition will be handed in.
This is the beginning of a crusade by
Protestants against the influence OF the
church in Quebec provincial affairs, and is
the direct outcome of Cardinal Taschereau's
persistency week ago in demanding a
seat in the Provincial Parliament on
the throne beside the Queens repre-
sentative and directly under the royal
arms. The "Jesuit bill" referred to is the
measure passed in the Quebec Parliament
through the influence of the Church, giving
that order 100000 indemnity for loans
which reverted to the Government at the
time Pope Clement XIV. abolished the
Jesuit Order. The bill contains provision
that the money is to be distributed subject
to the conditions to be made by Pope Leo
