BREACH OF PROMISE.
Judgment Against "a Pennsylvania Pastor
For $1,000.


SCRANTON, Paa Oct. 3.-The sensational
breach Of promise case of Miss Annie
Husaboe against Rev. Peter Roberts OF
the Plymouth Congregational church
ended to-day with verdict of 5000 for
the woman. The case has created tre-
mendous stir here for a long time past.
Roberts is graduate of Yale, and while
at New Haven seduced the girl and con-
nived at criminal operation. He prom
ised to marry her, but while she was Ill
he fled to Wales. The girl followed and
he again promised To marry her aud then
came back, but after he secured the
pastorate here he absolutely refused
20 carry out his promise. Rob-
ert's attorney made overtures for
a settlement and once proiiered $1,000,
but the girl would not accept. While the
negotiations were in progress Roberts
married a most estimable lady of this
place. Finally the girl brought suit,
which resulted as above.
The deacous of Roberts church have
been upholding him in the matter long
time, but il is thought he will now be
compelled TO get out. The evidence
against him was very damaging and il is
said that Roberts has been deceiying his
counsel as well as the woman and the
church. for his counsel presented no tes-
| timony in defense.

LONDON, Oct 3.-The directors Of the
London Gas company to-day declined 20
accede to the demand made by the Ma

0onths. The number involved is six
Times larger than the number engaged in
any OF the previous gas house strikes. The
company is making preparations 10 con-
duct It's business despite any action tho
men may take. Long sheds have been
erected within the works for living quar-
tiers for non-unionists and hundreds of
beds have zen provided for their use. The
authorities have taken energetic measures
10 suppress any disorder. Orders have
already been issued that 500 soldiers at
Chatham he in readiness to proceed at q
moments notice TO protect the gas works
and men who refuse to join in the strike.
| Each soldier has been served with twenty
rounds Of ball cartridge.
The stokers declare the reports thatth
intend 10 go on strike 10 force the COM
| pany 10 dispense with non-union labor are
unfounded. Moreover, they declare they
made no demands upon the directors, bus
only suggested IL would be 10 the adyan-
tage OF each side IL only union labor was
employed. Despite the pacific utterances
OF the men the troops at Chatham con-
| tinue under arms.
This evening two deputations OF di-
rectors declared they bore no enmity
toward the union and would always give
preference to old hands, without distinc-
ton between union aud non-union men.
At a mass meeting Of workmen later a
resolution was adopted expressing thanks
to the directors and declaring the men do
not desire 10 strike.

HELENA. Mont, Sept TO- Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. "A special from
Miles city says: Trouble with the Chey-
ennes has again broken out and this time
promises to be more serious than before
Saturday last Hugh Boyle, man employed
on Gaffney's cattle ranch near the Chey-
enne reservation, started to hunt stray cat
tie. Not returning that night, search was
made and his horse found with the saddle
and bride. Thoroughly alarmed, the rela-
tives obtained the help of detachment of
soldiers quartered near them and started an
organized hunt. To-day telegram was re
ceived by the coroner of Custer county
from j. a. Cooper, agent OF the Chey-
ennes, saying that a murder had been
committed there three days ago and that
the body was awaiting his arrival. There
seems To be no room for doubt that the
body is that Of the unfortunate Boyle, and
that he was killed by the Cheyennes as he
had no enemies. The effects Of this killing
are very serious to contemplate. On Sat
urday the grand jury at this place was COM
PEELED to turn loose four Cheyennes who
Had been in jail since May on the charge of
killing Robert Ferguson. Although it was
known that two at least were guilty, it was
impossible to get any evidence, owing
TO witnesses having been intimidated or
otherwise tempered with. The failure to
1nete out justice in this case was keenly
felt by settlers, as it was feared that the
discharge Of the Indians would act to
make them believe the law was powerless
TO punish them, and this would incite them
20 further acts of lawlessness. Settlers
have repeatedly declared since the killing
OF Ferguson that if another white man was
killed they would send the women and
children to town and with the
cowboys start in on war of
determination of the Cheyennes The
killing has now occurred and it is believed
The threat will be carried ont. Since May
several hundred troops have been camped
in the vicinity of the Cheyenne reserva-
ton, but their presence does not seem to
have prevented Ferguson'S murder, and it
Will now be question of the survival of
the fittest. If this country belongs to the
savages, with vested rights to rob and muir
der white settlers. the people want to
know it. With the women and children
safe, the settlers have no more fear of the
Indians than they have of so many wolves,
and viii kill them with as little compunc-
ton. The killing of Boyle brings them to
a show down, and unless it can be conclu-
sively proven that he met his death in some
other way there will be trouble for ths,
Cheyennes.
