NOT A SAINT.
i Young Minister in New York State
Has One Wife Too Many.
After Being Expelled from the Methodist
Ministry He is Arrested on Charge
Of BIgamy.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
CLEAN, n. Y, April 6.-Rev. John
Dorritv Wood, young Methodist min
ster, is in trouble for having one wife
too many. He is about twenty-fiv years
old, and presents the appearance of
dry goods clerk instead of a Gospel ex-
FOUNDER. Last October he was ap-
pointed to the Methodist Episcopal
church at Port Allegheny, Pa, by
con ference of his district, and at once
assumed charge. He represented him
self as a single man, but early in De-
cemDer brought bride to the parsonage
in the person Of Isabella Mann, young
and charming Buffalo girl, who ct once
took an active part in the
church work which her husband
was devoting his energies to, and
up to a short time ago everything was
serene, and then ugly rumors began to
be waited about to the effect that the
model man was not model, Christian
or minister as he should be; also that
down in New Jersey there was another
woman vino had a prior claim upon him
as a husband.
The rumors reached the ears Of the
presiding elder, and two weeks ago Rev.
Wood was suspended pending trial.
Last Thursday @ council of Clergymen
was held and he was expelled from the
church and ministry. He failed to ap-
pear at the trial, but yesterday put in an
appearance ct the parsonage to remove
his goods and clothes, which he had left
in his hurried departure.
Two ladies arrived here yesterday and
registered as Mrs. J. d. Wood and sis
ter, Belvidere, n. j. They sought an
attorneys office Immediately and soon
thereafter there was an order of arrest
issued for Rev. Wood for bigamy,
upon complaint of Mrs. Wood No.
/, who alleges that on Deem
Der 2S, 1888, she was married
to John D. Wood at Pillipsburg, n. J.
where he was attending Drew seminary
preparatory to becoming a minister, and
that he within q few months deserted
her. Wood doubtless knew that his New
Jersey wife was seeking him, for
he came into the city by a round
about way and boarded a train
for Buffalo. A mile out of town po-
liceman was watching, and stopped the
train and captured the reverend gentle
man. When taken before the pjustice he
pleaded not guilty, and was placed in
charge of an officer, who will guard him
until Monday, when he will be examined
in court.
His first wife was Miss Alice Gullice of
Belvidere, N. j., member of a family
of wealth, prominence and high
social standing. She keenly feels the
position which she is placed in, while
Wood shows no emotion. He made fran
tic efforts to prevent the facts from ap-
pearing in print, but failed.

ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
Charges Against Against special Discussing
Agent Of the Interior Department


Agent of the Interior Department
TAHLEQUAH, I. t., April THE au-
thOrities of the Cherokee Nation are pre-
pairing to bring about an investigation OF
the official acts of John W. Wallace,
special disbursing agent of the interior
department. The Indian Arrow pub
lished here charges that Wallace has
conspired to defraud the Shawnee and
Delaware Indians, freemen in the
Cherokee Strip, of SIS 900, the amount
of annuity paid by the government when
it becomes due. The Arrow charges that
instead of listening to the Shawnees, Del
awares and freemen entitled to citizen
ship Wallace has identified himself with
a clique to buy the claims Of these people
at great reduction and then have them
oashed by the treasury department at
their face value. The Arrow also
charges that the plan of this clique in
Guided the enrolImen: OF several thou
sand negroes, who were TO be brought
from Kansas, Arkansas and ether states
as citizens, entitled to annuity, and then
call on congress for an extra appropTia-
ton, so that each should receive S15-60
annuity. This would necessitate an sP-
preparation of fully $3.50, 900 more money
for annuities than is actually required.

pairing for the Earthquake-Many
Cases of insanity.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April T-As
the day draws near for the fulfillment Of
the prophesy that Oakland, San Frances
co, Chicago and Milwaukee will be swal-
lowed up by an earthquake, the excite
ment among Erickson 8 followers in Oak
land increases. About a score OF famiIie
have established camps in the foothill
back of Oakland where they have raised
tents, and propose to hold a series of
camp meetings. From the preparations
noted in Oakland, il is likely that sever
al hundred people will flock to this CAMPS
Even in San Francisco many credulous
people are alarmed, and country resorts
will profit By their fears. Nervous ex-
oitement over the predicted calamity has
proven too much for several women IN
Oakland, who have been sent to the in
sane asylum. Yesterday morning, on
Washington street, in Oakland, young
and good looking woman, well dressed,
and with long, brown hair flowing down
her back, ran wildly down the streets,
with arms outstretehed, as she loudly
screamed: ''l' I'm coming, good Lord,
IN coming; wait, only wait for me!
Take me to Him; take me to the Lord 10
be savedl'' The police took her to the
station, where she continued to rave
wildly.

Key to Failure.

Nan 8 Absence from New YORK furnishes
Key to Failure.
NEW YORK, April Partner w. s.
Darling of John T. Plummer s. Co. did
not come to town yesterday and creditors
of the firm would now be very much sur
prised to see him in New York. The re-
port is that Mr. Darling's absence fur
nishes key to the mystery of this re-
markable failure. Furthermore, it re-
lleves Mr.. Plummer of some of the i'm
put8tions whlcn had been made against
him. But the question, "Where has
the money gone?' has not been answered
yet. All that is definitely known is that
big house doing a profitable business,
with the supposed surplus of at least
$500 600, has suddenly collapsed and
that the $500 900 is On the other side of
the ledger. A million dollars has disap-
paired and the only man who can tell
where jtshas gone hasgone too.

Why n Place Was Made for a Little Bow
in the senate.
One OF the happiest boys in Georgia to-
day is little thirteen year-old page in the
State Senate. In the cause Of his happiness
is touchingly pathetic story. Jimmie
up in the mountains of Dade County. jim
mic is nearly blind. For more than a year
his eyeSight has been falling him, and now
it is with difficulty that lie can see at all
His father is afflicted and his family is
very poor. They did not have the money to
send Jimmie to Atlanta, where he could
have his sight restored, hut there was yet a
small chance for him. If he could get to
Atlanta and obtain pages place in the
Legislature he could make enough to have
his eyes treated.
Mr.. Tatum, tie noble-hear,ed Represent.
alive from Dade who knew little Jimmie
and his family, kindly offered to pay his eX-
penses to Atlanta, and try to secure him
ages place. Jimmie left home with light
heart; but when lie reached Atlanta all the
places were filled, and with tears in his eyes
he WAS compelled to abandon his bright
hopes and return to the family, with his
eyes still paining him and his sight fast
fading. Mr.. Tatum cOnSoled him, however,
with the promise to bring him back this
year, and his heart was furtb her lishtened
with promise from Messenger Smith that,
E case of his reelection. he would make a
place for the little fellow. All through the
long months Jimmie patiently looked for
ward to the assembling of the Legislature.
Finally the happy day came, and with the
kind-hearted Mr.. Tatum he came 10 At
lanta just II few days ago.
Imagine the little fellows grief when he
was told that all the places in the House
were taken up. But he bore it maufully,
and drying the tears in his eyes, prepared
to return home.
Mr.. Tatum determined to make one more
effort in behaIf of the child. lie took him
to the Senate, and laid his case before
Colonel Bill Harris, one of the most noble
hearted men in Georgia. Always ready to
do an act OF humanity, the esteemed Secre-
tary, whose heart had been touched by the
little sufferers appeal, laid the case before
President Mitchell, and the little fellow was
given pages place in the Senate. Now he
will make money enough to have his eyes
treated. and that is why the little fellows
heart is glad, and there is happiness in his
quiet mountain home in Dade.-Atlanta

CURRAN FORGOT,
And the Butchers Speak of ga
Fixed Case"

Judge Joachimsen dismissed charge of
peddling meat without license yesterday
against John Banner, an employee of Mark
Strouse, the Market-street butcher. Banner
had been arrested by Deputy License Col
letor Jonn Curran, who testified in court
yesterday against him. When asked, how
ever, to identify Banner, Curran stammered
and failed to recognize the man he had ac-
cused of selling Strouse's meat from wagons
at various houses.
Accordingly Judge Joachimsen instructed
the jury in the case to dismiss it, as there
was no evidence to show clearly that de-
PENDANT in court was the man arrested.
The courtroom was crowded with butchers
interested in the disposal of the case, be-
cause. Strouse's wagons go into their re-
spectiye neighborhoods, and consequently
Interfere materially with their trade. They
spoke freely about "a fixed case" and
limited that the Butchers Protective Asso-
citation will Interfere and make an nvestiga-
ton, which may lead to results not expected
by the defendants friends.
