THB SOUTH AMERICAN DELEGATES GIT A
TASTE OF GREATNESS.
Members Of the Pan-Amsrican Congress Start on Their
TOw-Thsy Participate in the Ceremonies
at West Point-POrrats of
Heroes Unveiled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 3.-The
delegates to the International American
Congress were astir at an early hour this
morning to prepare for the long trip ar
ranged for them by the Department Of
State. The vestibule train was early an
object OF admiration by a great crowd of
sight seers. Before 8 o'clock the delegates
began to arrive and were received at the
station by Mr.. VIM. E Curtis, the special
agent of the State Department in charge of
the excursion.
AT a quarter past eight this morning,
"All aboardW was given and promptly on
schedule time the train started on its long

who had been bidding farewell to the ex-

THE EXCURSION AT WEST POINT.
West Point to-day was the scene of
some imposing ceremonies, which are
destined to become memorable in its an
mails, and to make the occasion as red
letter day in its history. The train bearing
the delegates arrived little after O'clock.
A platform was erected q! the north end OF
the room of the Academy, where the pOr-
traits of the three great generals-Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, hung on the wal,
each yelled in United States flag. These
magnificent paintings were the gift OF Mr.
Geo w. Childs, of the Philadelphia Mill
tsry Academy.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by the Chaplain Of the Post, Rev. Mr.. Pos
tlethwaite.
The Superintendent then said that the
next step was the unveiling of the portraits
presented to the Academy by Mr.. Childs
He raised his hsud, tap of drum fol-
lowed, the flags fell from the portraits and
they stood revealed in all their beauty.
The battalion presented arms, the band
played Hail Columbia" and the audi
ence sprang TO their feet and cheered.
Gen. Horace Porter was then introduced
and made the presentation address. The
address was followed by the "Star Span
nled Banner" played by the band, the
audience standing. Supt. Wilson, in
short address, accepted the portraits. The
Secretary of War then made a few re-
marks.
AN AFFECTING SCENE
occurred when Gen. Sherman was called
on. His eyes were dimmed with tears and
he referred feelingly to his comrades in
arms His remarks we're addressed main
to the cadets. The benediction was then
pronounced, and dinner served. The
guests of the government were then ten
dered a reception. A letter was received
from President Harrison, expressing his
regret at being unable to be present.

CRIMINAL PRIEST.
The Horrible Charge Brought Against an Ex-Prsla!s
Of North 0arolina-In Inhuman Assault
on the 0rganist Of the Church.

RALEIGH, N. O., October 3.-Pnblic in
terest is intense regarding the trial of John
J. Boyle, ex-priest OF the Roman Catholic
Church Of tie Sacred Heart of this city,
which begins in the Superior Court here
II is a matter of life and death, for crimi
nal assault, with which he is charged, is
one of four capital crimes under the laws
of North Carolina.
His alleged victim is Geneva Whitaker,
sixteen years of age, who was organist at
the church. The offence dates back to the
afternoon of May II last. Boyle had been
leading very irregular life for some
weeks, to the great scandal of his congre
cation. He drank quite freely, and bis
behavior in other ways was not that OF q
priest. He had been reported TO Bishop
Haid, and upon learning this made threats
that he would kill certain members of his
congregation who he believed had reported
him.
THE PROSECUTION PURPOSE.
The prosecution will endesvor to prove
that Miss Whitaker WAS in the church
decorating the altar for Sunday service,
and that Boyle decoyed her into his study
by sending her message through Charles
Young, his colored servant, and will also
introduce evidence to show that as soon as
che escaped she made her way home as
best she could and informed her family Of
this assault Boyle's counsel have kept
their line of defense well concealed, bat II
is generally understood that the case will
hinge upon the girls character.
Very able counsel conducted both sides
of the case, Solicitor ArgO, I. p. Deveresux
and Armistead Jones appearing for the
pross cution, and Fuller IL Snow and Bat
tie & Mordecai for the defense. There
will be very few witnesses. A special
venire of $50 has been drawn in addition
to the regular jury panel.
Boyle has been in jail since two days
after the alleged crime. when he waived
examination and was at once committed,
with privilege of bail. He is Pennsyl-
vanian and man of fine address and
personal appearance
BOYLE on THE STAND.
Boyle testified in his own defense TO-
day. He swore Geneva Whitaker had made
advances to him in repeated visits to his
room, and that in a moment of temptation
he was overcome. He denied that he WAS
guilty OF outrsge. Boyle was mercilessly
by the Prosecuting Attor-
ney. His testimony closed to-day 81 session
Of the cOurt.

A PLAYER HEARD FROM.
One of Boston's Team Makes Plain state-
ment About the New Scheme-He
Says IL Is All Right and
h. r..

ment AoOut tue new ScHeme-he
Says IL is All Right and
Will be n Sure Go.
ST. LOUIS, September A-The editor of
local paper to-day received the following letter
from well-known member of the Boston club.
1t is the only statement so far received from q
player in relation to the stand about to be taken
by the Brotherhood. For that reason it is a
most important document, corroborating as it
does statements made by other parties, and
which have already been published:
II thought would write you a few lines in
regard to the Brotherhood of National League
Players. You remember in the spring wrote
you that we contemplated a strike owing to the
way we had been treated by the Directors of
system. After careful consideration of the
matter, however, we concluded that to strike
then would be to break our contracts and
would be sure TO rob us of the sympathy Of the
public.
After a long discussion, we concluded to
start an association of our own, and TO ask no
more favors from the directors of the League.
Some of the best men in the land are back of
the scheme, and the players and all will be
heard from just as soon as the season OF 1889
comes to a cIose. The new Brotherhood con-
tract is one of the best ever gotten up. 1t will
hold the players to their agreement tighter
than wise. 1t will not only give the public
good ball playing, but every player will work
with WILL knowing that he is directly inter-
ested in the gate receipts The better position
a club holds the more money there will be for
the members of that team at the close of the
season. Some people are OF the opinion that
the players will try TO run the thing to suit
themselves. This is not the idea Men of
money will not invest large sums without
knowing what is in store for them. 1t will
simply be a transfer to other directors. The
parks will be located in the best parts of all the
Cities and agents have been working it up
since spring. l could have told you lot of
this before, but wanted to get at all the facts
so that you could depend on anything told
you. The players of course, are keeping the.
matter quiet, and no matter what happens do
not mention my name in connection with this
letter. Spalding is all broken up over to-day's
developments and so is Anson. Director Co.
nant will get here to-day. I hear that he
and the other directors of the Boston club are

RUPP Or RAPP, WHICH {?
4 Strong Probability That the Latter L. the
Name of the Millionaire German.

Asrpng Probability That the Latter Is the
| /, = Name of the Millionaire German.
Conrad W. Rupp. 70-year-old German
Iaborer, of Philadelphia, is said to claim
heirship to 81, 500. 900 lying somewhere in
this vicinity, and, from the story Conrad
tells, it seems probable that the man from
whom he claims heirship may have been the
founder of the Economic Society, and that
the photography of the name may have be-
come mixed.
Conrad says that in 1905. George Rupp
came to this State and settled in Beaver
county and not succeeding in business as
he expected removed to Pittsburg and
invested in coal mines and iron works.
that George had married in Germany and
alter he became settled sent for his
wife and son, but both soon died
and that dropping all correspondence
with Faderland, he turned his attention to
money making, and accumulated fortune
estimated at several millions of dollars;
that the son died in Pittsburg and the
wife in Wurtemburg. supposedly a village
in Butler county. Cunrad states that there
are number of heirs, each of whom are en-
titled to 50, 100000. He further states that
he is the only living brother, two having
died. and that there are five sisters, four OF
whom are married. It is said he has en-
gagged Consul Remak to go to Germany and
establish the claim.
Some of the prominent members of the
Economic Society were spoken to. but they
did not attach much importance to Conrad's
claim, from the fact that heirs had for a
long time been turning up at intervals to
dispute the right of the society to George
Rapp's wealth. As the amount spoken Of
would be about the size of the supposed
value of the Economic holdings, the cir
cumstance of the nearness of the name lends
color to the belief that its founder is the
man Conrad has in view. As he is 70 years
old, he is not likely to see the end of the
matter.
