He SAYS the Evidence Against Him In All
Untrue. and Explains.
Alderman David Doughty, of the Six
teenth ward, returned from Conneaut Lake
yesterday. He went at once to Alderman
Hyndman's Office, in East Liberty. and
gave bail for hearing on'August 26 in the
sum of 81, 500 to answer a charge of con-
spiracy, preferred against him by Police In
spector Whitehouse. Bail was furnished
by President w. w. Young, of the Law
renee Bank.
Alderman Doughty was last night inter-
viewed in regard to the approaching case,
and declared the statement that he had
left town on account of the recent sensa-
tional evidence in the Bauder Agency case,
and his own alleged completely, to be en-
tirely without foundation. 81 went to Con-
neaut Lake" he said, with my family. ac-
companying the knights OF st. George.
That was the day before the arrests were
made. knew nothing of the trouble until
Thursday, and then prepared to leave Con-
neaut Lake. When reached town I learned
OF the warrant for my arrest, and went to
Hyndman's Office"
The Alderman refused to say anything in
regard to the specific charges preferred
against him, but said that Bender's eyi-
dence in the recent hearing of the Bauder
case was totally false, and prompted
throughout by malice. Alderman Doughty

ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, August ia. B. Brown,
a young married man who lives in the
lyn, sent his family into the country two
weeks ago and remained at home, keeping
bachelors hall. A few minutes before
3 o'clock this afternoon he opened the
outer frunt door, and to his astonishment
saw two well-dressed young men on the
grass, one of whom was evidently injured.
They were strangers, evidently burglars,
whom he had interrupted at their work,
and who had leaped from the second-story
window in an effort to escape arrest.
Mr.. Brown went into the yard and spoke
to them. He found them very agreeable
young men. "Would you be kind enough
to help me get my friend over the fence?"
asked the engaging young burglar who
was not hurt. Mr.. Brown is naturally obli-
ging, and as it was evident that one Of the
burglars at least was in no condition to
escape, he did as he was asked. The injured
man was carefully lifted over into vacant
lot in the rear, and as carefully assisted
by Mr.. Brown and the burglar to a drug
store.
"If you'll overlook this" was the sound
thief's proposition, "we'll make it all right
with you." The injured mans companion
thought his friend needed brandy, and with
out waiting to be told that the druggist had
some, hurried out of the store in quest of the
liquor, as he explained. He did not return.
A message was sent over the druggists tel
ephone for an ambulance, and Operator
Mollow, at police headquarters, who re-
ceived the dispatch, told the police of the
Gates avenue station to send their patrol
wagon.
The injured burglar said he was Frank
Hart, aged 19, of AL Gates avenue. Hart
refuses to say anything about his compan-
ion. The house had been thoroughly ran
sacked, but nothing had been removed.

He Knew His business But Was Not
Familiar With American Pronunciation. l
Washington Herald.]
One does not expect to speak his mother
tongue in the highways and byways of
Paris, Berlin, or Vienna, but in London
one hopes at least to be understood, as is
often not the case. A Washingtonian doing
the sights OF this English capital ordered
his cabman to drive to the Alhambra.
"Where is it, sir?" asked the cabby.
"Weu, my man, that's what 1 don't
know and what you ought to know if you
pretend to know your business"
Poor cabby was nonplussed, and asserted
with evident modification that though he
bad made his living as a London cabman
since boyhood he had never heard Of such q
place as the Alhambra.
"Why," said the much disguised Ameri-
can, ''it's place where they have music
and dancing and plenty TO drink"
ooh! it's the Helumbria you mean, SIR"
And with a sarcastic smile on his face at
the pronunciation of his American cousin
he drove to the place in question.

AGAINST COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Important Discussion by Maryland German
Evangelical Lutherans.

Important Discussion by Maryland German
Evangelical Lutherans.
BALTIMORE, August T.-At this after
Moons session of the Maryland Synod of the
German Evangelical Lutheran Church
General President Schwan made speech
treating on the principles adopted by the
Evangelical Synod of Wisconsin, with re-
gard to the Bennett and Blair educational
bills These principles denounce compul-
sorry education in public schools as un-
constitutional. 1t was the feeling of the
Missouri Synod that these principles
were right and many motions were
made, amended, retracted, etc.. to give
them strong Endorsement. The German
Lutherans have parochiai schools of their
own. They say that they need them to keep
up the membership of thesr denomination,
and that one cannot be q German Lutheran
without having been educated in German
Lutheran school. So, they have their own
teachers and system, and claim to accom-
plish as good results, educationally, as do
the public schools or private institutions of
learning. They protest that 1t is the right
Of the parents to decide where and how
their children shall be educated, and that
the Government shall not interfere with
that natural right unless the parents
neglect their children's education. In their
schools, they say, they place English on the
same footing as German. They have no
wish, and make no attempt, to remain Ger
man, or to form and preserve German ideas
in America, They want to make their
children as good and we'll brought up
Americans as any. but they demand the
fright to do it their own way, and not have
anyone tell them how or in what sort of
schools this result is to be accomplished.
The last New York Legislature passed
bilI similar to the Bennett bill, but Cover
nor &Hill vetoed it.
RAv. Mr.. Schwan made strong and elo-
quenA. speech, and held his hearers atten-
ton fox long time. 1t was followed by
long anG quite animated discussion. Many
motions \were made and speeches delivered,
pro and cApn, laying a heavy claim upon
Rev. P. Brands unusual ability as pre-
siding oficAr. At last it was resolved to

John McInally. an unmarried man, 2S
years of age. received bullet wound in his
stomach in Braddock, at IL o'clock last
night, that will result fatally. His assail-
ant was a Hungarian, unknown to him or
any OF his friends.
The row occurred on Railroad street, few
steps below Thirteenth, near Patrick Bren-
mans liquor store. 1t appears that Nc
Inally, who is in the employ of the steel
works, had had q dispute with a
Hungarian q few days since. Last
night McInally and a crowd of his
friends espied this man in or near Bren-
mans liquor store. With him were
number of friends. u As they were leaving
the place Matthew McInally, younger
brother of the injured man, rushed in and
struck one of the Hungarians blow in the
face. simultaneously there was shot fired
and John McInally threw up his hands and
fell faint to the sidewalk, his lifeblood
oozing from q wound In the stomach. The
Hungarians broke for liberty, not one of
their number having been heard of since.
Drs. A. w. Schooley and E. s. Stewart
were summoned and made an examination
and gave it as their opinion that there was
very little hope for McInally. If it hadn't
injured the intestines, or peritonitis shouldn't
set in, there was possibility of his pulling
through. The ball entered on the left side.
The ball was probed for, but could not be
located.
Squire L. f. Hoffman took the dying
mans deposition, and the deponent said he
did not know any of the Hungarians' names,
ror could he tell which one of the number
fired the shot.
weakened condition, and it was not probable
that he would survive through the night.
Crowds of friends of McInally's were scour-
ing the neighborhood last night in search of
the Huns. 1t was said they had provided
themselves with ropes, and should any of
the Huns be caught, Judge Lynch was ex-
pected to preside.

SAN Francisco. August 17.-Deputy
Marshal Nagle, who shot and killed David
s. Terry at Lathrop last Wednesday, was
removed from jail at Stockton by Sheriff
Cunningham an hour before daylight
this morning and brought to this city
in a special train. This proceeding
was based upon writ Of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Sawyer, Of the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, directing
Sheriff Cunningham to produce Nagle in
the Circuit Court at II o'clock this morn
ing. Nagle was taken from Stockton Jail
at an early hour in order to avoid the ex-
citement which his removal during the day
might have occasioned.
A great number of persons were present
in the Circuit Court room this morning
introduced District Attorney White, of San
Joaquin county, and said they appeared
conformity to oppose the release of
Nagle by the Federal authorities. The
attorney, after reading papers connected
with the proceedings, entered q general pro-
test to the order of the court, claiming that
it was beyond the Jurisdiction of the Federal
courts to take from the custody of State
official person who had been arrested for
the commission of crime within the States
jurisdiction and against the State laws.
'If the Cour. please" said Attorney
Mcguire, I'VE desire formally to protest
against any requirements of this Court to
the sheriff Of San Joaquin county to bring
person held under State authority into
this court on writ of habeas corpus. The
prisoner has, however, been brought into
court out of Difference to the Court by the
Sheriff, and the Sheriff presents his re-
turns to the writ The attorney then
proceeded to read the written return. and
added: "We shall take the position on be-
half of the people of the State of California
that Mr.. Nagle is in the custody of the
State authorities and the Federal courts
have no jurisdiction to take prisoner from
the custody of State officials. That objec-
tion gives rise to a very important question,
which we are not at present prepared to ar
que"
Judge Sawyer said: SIT does present a
very important question, The claim on the
part of the prisoner is that the acts COM
planned of were committed in performance
of duty under the laws of the United States,
and by reason of that he has been
brought within the jurisdiction Of this
court. We recognize the necessity of
\your being thoroughly prepared for argu-
&pent and probably for ascertaining facts.
n perhaps, might be as well to postpone
thS matter for week to give counsel oppor-
tunity to decide what is the proper course
to pu(rsue."
Aftar comforting the lawyers decided
they w&uld be ready to argue the question
raised NEXT Thursday. and the hearing was
set for tbat date, Deputy Nagle returning
to Jail under the custody of the United
States MarAhal.

nrEorAL rELEeRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, August 17.-On the west
side of Eighth avenue, just above Thirtieth
street, line OF eight or nine Brush electric
light wires runs through several ailantus
trees growing along the curb. The top
Of one of these trees was killed
some time ago by being set on fire by
the current that leaked from one of the
wires. About o'clock tonight Policeman
Maginley saw theEdead branches again
abiaze. BE telephoned to the Brush sta,
tion for lineman, and Patrick Driscoli
and an assistant were sent round.
Driscoll had no gloves, and the police
man advised him not to fool with the wires
without them. He laughed at the caution,
and climbed up the tree, fixing himself in
the lower branches and using small rope
to fling over and break off the branches that
touched the wires. As he did this, stray
flashes Of electricity darted about his hand,
framing 1t in fire. Maginley was scared,
paid no attention.
A few moments later the policeman heard
cry, and, looking up, saw Driscol lying
on his back, upon a number of wires, with
both hands reaching up and grasping an
other wire. Maginley ran to the nearest
box and sent out a fire alarm, to get lad
der. When he got back to the tree a
crowd of peoplewere shaking it as hard as they
could, trying to shake down the lineman.
Not seeing the wisdom of adding a broken
neck to the INJURIES that Driscoll had already
received, the policeman drove the crowd
back and told them to leave the tree alone
until the fremen came.
Driscoll's assistant climbed the tree. and,
sitting on branch. kept hold of Driscoll
to see that he didn't fall. The lineman was
apparently dead. He had not moved or
spoken since he received the first shock.
When the truck came the fremen pulled him
out from among the wires in short order,
and by the time they had him on the ground
he was conscious. He was taken at once to
his home, at 400 West Thirty-frst street,
and the doctor soon reported that he was do
ing pretty well for a man who had spent Is
minutes in close communion with live cleo
trio light wires. His worst injuries were on
his hands and forearm, which were burned
to the bone. His hands may be permanently
crippled.
1t is said that these wires have been pre-
viously reported by the police as dangerous,
and that not long ago a wandering current
from them burned the awning of the store
at 407 Eighth avenue, next door to where
the trouble was tonight.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1spArcH.I
BALTIMORE, August 17.-Jake Kilrain
says he will go to Mississippi and stand
trial, Notwithstanding the Sullivan verdict,
but the impression prevails here that Jake
will do nothing of the kind. He has until
Thursday to make up his mind, and in that
time he can easily make his
way across the border into Can
ada. He had a long consultation
with his counsel, Joseph whyte, with refer
ence to the best course to be pursued. By
leaving here he has everything to gain and
nothing to lose, as even his bondsmen is
comparatively safe. The law as to the col
lection of bond of surety is so faulty in
this State That unless bondsman himself
gives up the money there is no way of max
ing him.
From this it will be seen that no matter
how large it may be the paroled prisoner
need have no fear of coniscation. 1t is
therefore not at all likely that Jake will
miss the opportunity of making his escape.
A year in Southern prison is not at all to
his liking. Detective Cbilds, of Mississippi,
reached here to-day, and at once reported to
Marshal Frey
/. 'T am Detective ChiIds, from Mississippi,
and I've come for Jake Kilrain, he said in
way of introduction.
"Glad to meet you, but I'm afraid you
will have to wait awhile for Jake, for he is

responded the Marshal.
Mr.. Childs sighed and looked serious.
However, he accepted the marshaPs invi-
tation to sit down and waited patiently for
developments. A half hour later the mar

Manitou Letter in Washington Herald.1
Cheyenne Canyon, amid whose scenes of
sombre sbeauty rests forever the kind heart
and brilliant mind of Helen Hunt jackson,
is distant about ten miles from Manitou.
The drive is pleasant one, and vigorous
people needing exercise find it a delightful
wslk. The grave of "H. H." is near the

voice of the water adds last element of
tender melancholy to the scene.
No one but poet whose soul was attuned
beyond the possibility of change to the

came to her soul the inspiration of many of

KANSAS CITY, August 1.-THE Hatch
lock, an Invention of A. A Hatch, of this
city, formerly telegraph operator with the
Western Union Company, has been patented
and a company with 100000 stock
has been formed in Kansas City and
New York to place the patent. The inven-
tion is an apparatus to be used in telegraphy,
by means Of which all connection with a
telegraph wire can be cut of at all inter-
mediate points between the sender and re-
ceiver. The patent is equally applicable to
the telephone wires and their connections.
The invention has been in use on the st.
Louis, Ft. Scott and Memphis Railway for
sometime, and has worked successfully. A
test was made week ago before the New
York members of the company in New
York, and representatives from many differ
ent railroad and telegraph companies, all of
whom pronounced it an unqualified success.

Allegheny Citizens Complain About the Bad
Condition of East Ohio Street.
Several complaints have been made to
Mayor Pearson within the past few days
about the condition of East Ohio street. The
street is unpaved, and it is so full of ruts
and holes that it is almost impossible in
some places. Allegheny City Councils have
attempted to get the West Penn Railroad to
pay part of the expense Of paving the street,
as part of it is on railroad property. Thus
far the attempt has been failure:
A sub-committee on streets has examined
the street, and it is estimated that 81 900
will put it in good shape, but $500 will make
1t passable thoroughfare. A special meet
ing of the entire committee is likely to be
called this week to instruct the Road Com
missioner to make the temporary improve
ment until the railroad company is finally
heard from.
