German lutheran Council.

PITTsBURG, Oct lin the Lutheran gen
eral council this morning the special order
was the discussion of the report of the
committee on pulpit and fellowship. The
question was as to the propriety of q
Lutheran minister accepting an invitation
to preach in the pulpits Of other denomina-
tions. The following seemed to be the gen
eral sentiment: That Lutheran minister
could hardly, with consistency, occupy an
other pulpit when his views differed from
those of the inviting pastor. The after
noon was devoted to the rea ling of reports
from various home missions.
The Kropp theological school in Ger
many, which has been Il subject of cOnten-
ton since 1856, came up this afternoon and
there was a lively fight, those opposed to
the school being victorious
The discussion was brought up by the
New York ministers insisting upon a re-
consideration of the resolution passed al
Minneapolis last year, severing all connec
ton with the Kropp school.

A GOOD LOOKING YOUNG WOMAN
From Australia Runs Her Bogus Husband to
Cover in His Chicago Home.

CHICAGO, Oct ia good looking young
woman from Australia arrived in Chicago
last night on 10000 mile journey in pur-
suit of a married man who had married her
under the pretense that he was single.
The fellow is now in jail. He appears to
be the noted American criminal, julius
Mailhouse, alias julius House. The Aus
tralian girl is Miss Elizabeth Hackett,
daughter of well-to-do carriage manufac
turer in Melbourne.
Not long after serving term in the
Joliet prison Mailhouse went to Australia
as a drummer for a Chicago meat firm,
leaving handsome wife in this city. His
meeting with Miss Hackett, short but
ardent courtship, marriage, a weeks
honeymoon, then a sudden business call to
Sydney, preceded by the drummer borrow
ing $3.50 from his new father-in-law, tells the
Australian end of the story. Mailhouse
was next heard from in San Francisco in
letter to Miss Hackett telling her to expect
him on the next steamer. She did not
wait but took the next steamer, investigat-
ing en- route his record, of which she had
some inkling. Mailhouse was at home
with his first wife last night here when ar
rested He had no notion of what was
coming until confronted at police head
quarters by the woman whom he supposed
to be at the antipodes. The eX-convict's
nerve did not desert him. He laughingly
attempted to embrace his pursuer. She re
PEELED him with uplifted chair and declared
she would remain in Chicago and support
herself till he was landed again in the peni-
Tertiary at Joliet.

THE GREAT AXTELL.
He Reduces the Three Year Old
Record to PIP.
CASE OF MRS. HERON, OF CoREA.
She Was, Not Threatened with Death Even
Captain Griffin's Resignation Accepted
Three New CrOnin Suspects.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. ia mile in
for an aged horse at any harness gait, but
greater when it is done by a three-year-
old stallion at the trotting gait. 1t means
a record that will stand for many days; it
means the acme of physical endurance,
courage and all that goes to make the king
of all horses.
The fourth day of the fall meeting
brought out crowd as large and enthusi-
astic as ever the reflection of a summer
sun shone upon, to witness an event
that one is fortunate to see
in lifetime-the great AXtell
to beat the two-year-old record (2:l3&D
held by the California FLY Sund. When
he was brought out for his warming up
heat, he moved with such freedom and
determination that but few thought the
record would stand; hut that he would
knock one and three-quarter seconds from
it, the widest enthusiast did not dream.
George Starr was behind Father Holm as
the helper Williams speeded forward at
the second attempt and the great flight
was begun--with that smooth action for
which Axtell is noted. The first quarter
was reached in :33; the clip is made faster
to the half in 1865. TOO fast"
says SO4Ouel SOuley, anu d sign CUES up
from the crowd. 1t is felt that the drive is
made too soon. Still the game colt goes on
his courage, faster and faster. Thirty-two
and a quarter is the gait to the three-quar-
tiers post. With never falter he breasts
the hill and turns into the stretch. A shout
goes up. He will do it. On he comes,
and without a wabble or false stroke he
finishes the mile, strong, in 2:12. Thus
at one stroke he reduced the
three year old record "a seconds;
also the record for stations at
all ages. Pandemonium breaks loose, the
stretch is black with the shouting, yelling
mob; Williams is taken from mis- sulky and
borne aloft on the crowds shoulders, and
cheer after cheer goes up for the gallant
colt and driver.
The official timers were J. H. Steiner,
secretary of the American Trotting asso-
citation; A. F. Rush, of Detroit, and Colonel
Conley, of Chicago. Their watches agreed
exactly on all fractions of the mile. The
watches of Judges Beauchamp and Moran
told exactly the same tale. The track is
seven feet over mile by official survey.

NEW YORK FEMALE ToUGHs.
Maggie Miller Tells How She Sailed in and
Licked Julia O'Connor.

| Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
New YoKK, Oct. 1.-THE inquest in the
case of Julia O'Conner, the fourteen-year-
old girl who was killed by her companion,
Maggie Miller, in scrape for the su-
premacy of a New York ward, revealed
condition of things which shows how much
the recent SulliYan-Kilrain fight has af-
fected the Imagination and morals of young
girls lust growing into womanhood The
court room was filed with a representative
gathering of men and women from the To-
cality where the pugilistic affair occurred
and collection of little girls ranging from
fourteen to seventeen years, companions
of the youthful slayer and her victim. Off
in corner sat the motherless little pris-
oner weeping as if the gallows had doomed
up before her; in her imagination they
probably had, for she had just learned of
Julia's death from the effects of the beat
ing she had given her.
After the various witnesses had testified
for the prosecution, she was permitted, with
the consent of her father, to take the stand
in her own behalf. She was chubby
faced, light haired child, whose head was
on level with the coroner's desk. Crying
bitterly, she faced the jurors and told her
story. She had on pretty little green
waist and blue sacque, and wore plain
black straw hat trimmed with lilies Of the
valley.
Il accidentally cursed" said the witness,
land Julia remarked that the block where
we were living was a tough one. It's no
tougher than yours 1 said" continued the
witness. II wouldn't live there for for
tune,' said she. You would be knocked
out, said I. Julia said she would like to
see who would do it. l laughed at her and
said could. Julia squared off, saying she
could lick any girl in the Eighteenth ward.
1 didn't fight that night, and the next night
while I was standing near the stoop, the
night after, a crowd of girls came along.
One of them, Maggie Quinn, said she
would go and fetch Julia O'Connor to fight
me. When she came back she had Julia.
Julia squared off and hit me; then 1 sailed
into her and did her up. but l didn't mean
to kill her. swear to God l didn't"
The jury listened gravely to the evidence
and asked the young pugilist whether there
was any fellow in the case, which she in
dignantly denied, and then pronounced the
death due to causes unknown.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Land Commits
sioner Croft has rendered decision in the
case of May Barr, formerly May WATSON,
a resident of the Mitchell, Dakota, land
district 1t appears from the testimony
that in July, 1885, Mrs. Barr, then a resi-
dent of the state of Iowa, went to Dakota
on visit, and while there took up eighty
acres adjoining tract then recently en-
tered by Michael Barr. She purchased
house and had it moved on her claim, broke
one acre and made other improvements.
At that time, she says in her testimony,
she had no intention of marrying Mr..
Barr, but later they married. Then
they moved their houses up close together
on the sline and so did them up all around
on the outside, making one house; they
were then papered, that Barr put his bed,
stove, table, etc, in his, and she put her
bed, stove, table, etc, in hers; that there
are no means of communication between
the two different parts of the house, ex-
cept by going outside, each having an out
faith in making the entry, not
knowing Michael Barr at the
time, and having no understanding
that it was to be kept in the Barr family,
and that she complied with the homestead
law fully. Mrs. Barr's claim is rejected
on the ground that husband and wife
cannot maintain separate residences at the
same time andin the same house, so that each
by virtue ofusaid residence may perfect an
entry under the homestead law. IL is said
there are a number of cases in the general
land office similar in all Important respects
to the case of Mrs. Barr.

To the Catholic Congress Arrives-Negro
Colonization Of MexicO-COnsul Lewis. Of
Tangiers, Summoned to Washington.

New YORK, Oct. 11.-An electric line
man met with horrible death at the cor
ner of Centre and chambers streets this
afternoon from contact with an electric
light wire. He was employed by the West
ern Union company, and presented terri
BILE sight as he died on the network of wires
in mid air, while the deadly fluid actually
made his body sizzle and the blood pour out
on the sidewalk and over the clothes of the
Mortified spectators. The accident occur
ring in the middle of the day in one of the
busiest streets of the city, was witnessed
by a large crowd of people. The mans
body lay limp and motionless over the mass
ofuwires attached to the cross trees of the
pole. A fireman brought out ladder and
one went up with a pair of shears to cut
the wires, but the man was found to be
dead.
The mans face was toward the walk. In
fifteen minutes the wire had burned OF
half of the face of the victim. The left arm
was also seen to be burning and every few
seconds the blue flames spurted out from
various parts of the body. Hundreds of
people stood shivering as they looked at the
awful sight overhead. No one dared go
near. and even the tiremen's faces blanched
with horror. Line-man Benson, the dead
mans companion, was asked why he did not
90 up. He simply said: Its no use, he is
dead. l don't know the electric wires; |
can't help him. was on the other pole and
don't know anything about it." All this
was SAID in a catching, hating tone
of voice as of a man completely overcome
with horror and emotion. Immediately
after the accident Mayor Grant was mott
fed. The mayor gave notice that the wires
which caused the accident be cut at once
His secretary said the mayor would act
promptly in the matter and it is possible
that he may order the cutting of all electric
light wires above ground tonight, where
upon a large part Of the city will be in
darkness.

miners to the Wheeling coal works and a
freight train. The passenger train and a
portion of the freight train were demol-
