THIS WAS BECAUSE THE LATTER sUPPLANrED HIN
AS SUPERINTENDENT OF OAK VIEW.
There is trouble at Oak View, the country res.
idence of ex-President Cleveland. The row il
between Thomas Follan and Patrick Herman.
The latter succeeded the former as superintend-
ent in charge of the cottage and grounds This
is why bad feeling exists between them. Their
troubles were brought to the attention of Judge
Miller in the Police Court this after
making threats. The alleged threat was
that Follan was going to beat him SO
that his mother would not recognize him. This
he was going to do as soon as the ex-President
left the city. Judge Miller evidently did not
think that Follan was dangerous man and took
his personal bonds

THE PASTORS ALLIANCE.
A Memorial to the President as to Dis.
trict Offices Discussed

memorial TO the President In regard 10 ar-
pointments TO District Offices was the subject
Of discussion this morning at meeting Of the
John II. Elliott, the president, called the meet
ing to order. and Rev. Henry r. Naylor was
the secretary. A memorial. said by one Of
the members to have been prepared by Rev.
Dr. sunderland, was read IL called the stten-
ton OF President Harrison 10 the fact that the
citizens OF the District were entirely dependent
upon him FOR their rulers, and urging him In
making District appointments TO select re-
putabie men who would enforce the laws. A.
there was no quorum present no action could
oe taken on the memorial, but il was very gen.
orally discussed Rev. c. Herbert Richardson
suggested that something should be said in the
memorial relative to
TIE APPOINTMENT OF A DISTRICT ArroRSrY.
He said It was important 10 have a man In
that ONCE who was not in sympathy with the
liquor business. The reason of that he said
was that when saloon-keeper was convicted
for violation OF the Sunday Law. the fact Of
such conviction ought TO be entered in the
second indictment If one should be made and
under the law the man would be deprived Of
his license. II, however the attention OF the
court was not called TO the first otfense the
saloon man would simply paw fine and 20 on
violating the law. He thought that a vigilant
district attorney would be Of great assistance
in enforcing the liquor laws.
Rev. Charles W. Baldwin thought that the
memorial ought 10 call attention TO
THE EXISTENCE OF BAwpr HOUSES
and their recognition by the authorities. He
understood that there was a list OF such places
at police headquarters, together with the names
Of the proprietors. He had been told that
liquor licenses had been granted 10 some OF
these houses.
Another suggestion for an addition 20 tho
memorial was made by Rev. J. c. Craighead
and seconded by Rev. John H. Dashiel 10 the
effect that unnecessary noise and confusion
was created by the crying of newspapers ON
sundays.
Ii was finally decided TO commit the memorial
and the suggestions made to a committee with
instructions 10 report at future meeting The
committee is as follows: Rev. DIR. Sunderland,
Rev. j. II. Elliott, Rev. c. Herbert Richardson,
Rev. ;. II. Greene and Rev. John II. Dashiel.
The alliance then adjourned.

NEARLY ALL MILLS IDLE.
Every Prospect of a Long Struggle at
Fall River.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 19.-The strike
situation here remains practically unchanged.
The weavers did not return to work to-day as
anticipated. and the majority of mills are en-
tirely shut down. The few in partial opera
ton have about the same number of weavers at
work as last week. The biggest meeting OF
the strike was held on the park this afternoon.
Speeches were made and encouraging reports
submitted. There is no indication that the
strikers will weaken for some time, and manu-
facturers admit there is

The Tally Appointment.

MR.. DwYER SUGGESTS AN INVESTIGATION
The stir raised some days ago by Mr.. p n
Dwyer, relative to the charge that certain
assessor was not a resident Of the district to
which he was appointed, promises to develop
some very queer doings on the part Of certain
District officials. From what can be ascer-
tanned the action Of Mr.. Tally in moving his
residence to a certain hotel prior to the ap-
pointment of assessors, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning an appointment, was suggested by a
certain official. To-day Mr.. p. n Dwyer pre-
sented the following letter to the Commissioners:
The question of illegal appointment of asses
sor TO ninth district having been settled, now
request that an investigation be had as to the
manner this appointment was made, and
whether any official IN the employ of the Dis
trict was connected with this scheme to TOW
with the United States laws. The facts can be
easily ascertained, and should it be proven that
an official was party to the playing with the
assessment OF District property, let him be re-
moved at once. 1t is Of too much Importance
to be passed without notice"

An Alleged Malicious Arrest.
THE SUIT OF JAMES r. CURTIS FOR FIVE THOU
SAND DOLLARS DAMAGES.

SAND DOLLARS DAMAGES
This morning in Circuit Court, Division q
Judge Montgomery, the trial of the case Of
James r. Curtis against Officer J. B. Slack for
$1,000 for arresting him, as alleged, without
probable cause, in May, 1888, was resumed. 1t
is alleged that there had been an affray near
Mt. Olivet in which several parties, white and
colored. were engaged, and Officers Slack and
Fifield came up and arrested several of them;
that some of the colored men refused to go
with the officers unless Curtis was arrested
when milking his COWS, and although he was
subject to fits and the officers were told of it.
he was thrown into cell. The evidence was
somewhat conflicting some of the witnesses
testifying that Curtis engaged IL the fight and
others that he had nothing to do with it. The
case was argued by Mr.. Cahll for the plaintiff
who claimed that Slack arrested Curtis without
probable cause. and reckessly and wantonly
Mr.. Riddle argued that the officer had done
nothing but his duty, and that the evidence
fully sustained the officer
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE COURT.
The court instructed the jury that the three
points to be decided were: Was the arrest made
by the officer? Did he have probable cause for
making the arrest; did he have reasonable
cause! or did he act wantonly and maliciously?
The jury found verdict for defendant
