GLADSTONE SPEAKS
He Outlines the Liberal Parlia-

GREAT EVENT FOR MANCHESTER
The Citizens Give the Ex-Premier an Ep.
 thusiastio Reception.

No One of Lower Rank Than Royalty Has
 Ever Been So Honorcd-Mr. Gladstone
 Referred Feelins'y to His Eishtieth
 Birthday-Hc Predicts a Liberal Victory
 at the General Election.
 LONDON, Dec. 3.-Mr. Gladstone was accorded an enthusiastic reception at Manchester. Speaking to an immense audience in Free Trade Hall he de- clared that the Local Government bill will no longer suffice to meet the de- mands of the country. He advocated granting to County Councils the power to fix taxation, to control the police, to regulate the liquor traffic, to care for the poor and to deal with the question of ground rents.
 He would form district councils, and would possibly go further and establish the same principle in the parish. This, he bought, would assist in conveying to the rural population the first ele ments of their public education. The creation of sense of public duty was, in his opinion, the highest aim of statesman.
 He referred with some feeling to his approaching eightieth birthday as an event which made it improbable that he would have a direct interest in many future great reforms.
 The Turkish Government was again befere them in tho recent and present transactions in Crete and Armenia, where grave incidents had occurred re- euiring the bringing of them home to the consciences of the British people. He sincerely hoped the Government would not indulge in the use of honeyed words in dealing with Turkey in mat ters involving human property, liberty and female honor.
 Mir. Gladstone concluded his address by predicting sweeping Liberal vic tory at the next election.

THE BRIDG 9 COLLAPSED.
Four Persons Killed in a Disaster
at SnOttSYille, Ky.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, Jan. 20.-Details
were received in this city tonight of a
railroad bridge accident at Spottsyille,
Ky, on Green river, in which four peo-
pie lost their lives. The bridge, which
has just been completed for the new
Louisville, st. Louis & Texas railway,
was of the draw pattern. Owing to some
difficulty between the railroad company
and the contractors the latter secured
an injunction yesterday prohibiting
the railroad from using the bridge, and
proceeded to remove all of the latter'S
rails, ties and other property from the
bridge, which, it is claimed, weakened
it to such an extent that it caved in to-
day about l o'clock. There were about
twenty-five people on the bridge at the
time. 1t is definitely known that four
of them were precipitatrd into the
water and drowned. The names of the
killed are not obtainable, and all par
ticulars are very meager. The bridge,
in its fail, came very near crushing the
steamer Gen. Dawes, which was just
steaming out from SpOttsyille.
Later reports from the scene say a
dozen were killed. No names of the
dead are yet obtainable.

ELGIN, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The Rev. George
X. Milton, paster Of the Prospect Street
congregational church, stated in a SER
mon delivered in neighborng town
last Sunday that his life had been
threatened here, and that he had re-
ceived letters demanding that he at
once leave the city. He said to-day that
a few weeks ago he received letter,
written on ordinary plain paper and
evidently in disguised hand, telling
by intimating that his speedy departure
from Elgin would be wise. movement.
TO this letter Mr. Milton paid no atten-
ton. burning it as soon as received.
Ten days later it was followed by a sec
ond, evidently written by the same per-
son. 1t was subscribed Jacob Moses"
and closed by saying:
We notice you have not complied with the
demands of our previous letter. We will give
you ten days in which to leave town. or else
prepare for the worst
Mr.. Milton is still here, although the
ten days have more than elapsed. When
came. he replied: 'The men who killed
Morgan are responsible"
MIR. Milton is aggreSSiyely opposed to
all secret societies. He considers them
workers of evil. He is antagonistic to
all such orders, but especially so to
Freema>Onry. Some weeks ago Mr.
Milton was asked to conduct the funeral
services of member of the church who
was also member of the Silver Leaf
Camp of Modern Woodmen. 1t is usual
for the order to take part in the funeral
services of a deceased member. but
upon this being explained to the preach
er he declined to join them in the
burial. He said it must be either Chris
tam or heather. If the former, the
Woodmen could take no part. 1t was
finally understood that Mr.. Milton was
to conduct the services alOne-at least,
that was his understanding of the mat

chaplain of the Wo0dmen commenced

aside and was about to leave

tanned by the widow, and re-
quested to continue the services.
This put an end to the Woodmen
service, and caused hard feelings against
the pastor. At the grave, he alleges,
some member of the order pushed him
aside and called him a ''crank," and

THE BEAUTY'S BREAKS.
Mike Kelly Making Trouble for
the Management of the Boston


Boston, Jan. 20.-Mike Kelly is de-
termined to make trouble for the great
triumyirs before the first championship
game next spring. 1.-The Boston club
promised me that should be made cap
tain of the team next season. and that
John Morrill, would not be engaged by
them. Now l intend to hold these men
to their word" says Kelly, "or return
to my business in New York.
A correspondent called Oh the direct
ors to inquire if Kelly's statement was
true. President Soden laughed and
said; "Kelly was stuffing some news
paper man."
director Billings said; 'sWell, it's
something like this: When Kelly came
here to sign last fall he asked if we
would make him captain, and we prom
ised him we would if we failed in get
ting Ward. He said at the time that
Morrill, could be of no use to the team,
and we said that he need not worry. as
the chances were against Morrill, being
in the team. Kelly no doubt took this as
promise Oh our part. The only will
show up al! right in the spring, Morrill,
or no Morrill,"
Director Conant is Mikes particular

the dramatic profession. When asked
who would be Bostons captain next
season he looked puzzled and said:
''blike Kelly; doesn't he say so?''
The fact of the matter is, the 'big
three" directors have got to beating
the devil about the BUSH" tits plain
they have made Kelly some promises
that they would like to take back,
and most likely one of them is
the releasing of Morrill,. There
is ?, no question that Billings
and Conant were bitterly opposed to
keeping Morrill,, as Kelly and he could
never pull together. and the star attrac-
ton was the fayorite with those two
magnates. President Soden, however,
thinks well of his old manager. and has
little faith in Kelly as leader. The
programme was all arranged, but un-
looked for clouds have arisen in the
base ball heavens. The public who pay
their money to see the sport have not
: been slow to express their ideas, and
these are in no way complimentary to
Mike Kelly, while John Morrill, has
gained many friends by keeping his
mouth shut. The directors have dis
! covered that their manager is the pride
of, the Hub. and must be retained. To
|. do this Kelly must be quieted. He de-
clares he will not have Morrill,, and the
public say Morrill, must be retained or
they will cease going to the games.
