OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 10.-To-nighA
the city Of Hull. across the Ottawa river
here, was the scene OF one of the.mosb
disgraceful riots ever chronicled in
Canada. A small band of Protestant
evangelists from Ottawa were attacked
by a bowling mob of nearly q
thousand French Canadians, who were
armed with grevolyers, shotguns,
sticks and stones. Six persons were
wounded-fOur seriously. 1t appears
that the evangelists, some twenty In
number, including four or five ladies,
some time ago announced that they
would hold evangelical services in Hull,
which is inhabited almost entirely by
French Roman Catholics. They were
warned that serious trouble would
result. but, in spite of the
warning, visited that city this
evening and began religious services in
small mission hall. In another portion
of the city crowd of the roughess
characters IN the city congregated and
with rerolvers. shotguns. and all kinds
OF missiles. The crowd increased
In numbers with great rapid.
ity until they reached the street
in front of the mission hali
where over thousand of the infuriated
crowd hung about building. swearing:
vengeance on the little band inside. |
The police were powerless to disperse
the mob. The mayor and two alder.
men who tried to address the crowd
were
STONED AND SEVERELY INJURED.
The appearance of the evangelists as
window was the signal for a shower
of stones. Doors and windows were de-
molished and the hOwling mob rushed
in, firing their revOlvers as they went.
Six OF the evangelists. including two
ladies, were struck with stones and
clubs. These persons were seriously
Injured: Robert Ferris, head injured;.
Henry Shepard. head and face injured;
Henry Walters, Maj. Wright, John
Wright and Robert Stewart, all badly
hurt. The remainder escaped through
iaback window and beat hasty retreat
to Ottawa. The outrage has created
tremendous excitement here. aud the
prompt action of the police alone pro-
vented an armed force of Protestant
citizens of this CITY from wreaking
vengeance on the French Canadians.
The matter will be brought up i'm parlia-
ment tomorrow. The militia have
orders to turn out at moments notice
to prevent further trouble.

A PILL FOR INGALLS,.
The Loud-Mouthed Kansan Mailed
Cartridge.

AhC AOuu-Mcutncu AdHSaN mNttcu
Cartridge.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. IL. - Saturday
last Senator ingalls, mail contained a
small pink-wrapped box four Inches
long, two inches wide, and little more
than an inch thick. On being opened
the box was found to contain on of the
Union Metallic Cartridge company's
"Star' cartridges, with the following
inscription in black ink:
Election pills for old cuff, or for Ingalls,
from jackson, Miss. Come to see .us, old mt
gals.
Senator ingalls, was not alarmed at the
contents of his mail, but both he and
his secretary thought it prudent to lay
the cartridge carefully away, as there
was a possibility that it might be more
destructive than an ordinary cartridge.
There was slight fear that the powder
and shot might have been extracted
from the shell, and replaced with some
powerful explosive. The senator, how
ever, was of the opinion that it was
plain buck shell cartridge, and re-
porter subsequently ascertained this to
be the fact by prying open the shell, re-
yealing nine large Duckshot and charge
of powder. Even this, it was thought,
was not particularly pleasant present,
and the joke may turn out TO be sorry
one for the perpetfator, as it is a yi0la-
tion of the postal laws to send explosives
through the mails.

LIKELY TO BE EXPELLED.
Promoters of a Queer Race on the
Rack

hdChs
BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 1.-THE board
of review of the National Trotting as
sociation met at the Iroquois club at
2:30 this afternoon, with President p. P.
Johnson presiding. There was good
attendance, drawn thither by the
knowledge of the fact that the first mat
ter to be taken up would be the charges
against Frank Noble, of Michigan, pro-
prietor of the stallion Alcryon. and G.
2. Nelson, of Maine, owner of the STALL
ion Nelson. The case was given a par
tial ventilation at the meeting held in
New York some time ago, but has never
yet been fully entered into. Mr.. Noble
was accompanied by his attorney, who
spoke for him. He said that they were
not ready to go on, but would in the
first place ask that the whole
that the board had no Jurisdiction,
Mr.. Nelson talked for himself, and said
that he had won the race on its merits,
but believed the board had no right to
try the case at all. He would ask that
nobody be allowed to sit upon the board
who had prejudiced the case in writing.
The president then ordered the board to
go into executive session to consider
the question of jurisdiction. The board
quickly decided that they had the right
to try the case. Mr.. Noble'S attorney
then asked for a postponement until
fall, in which Mr.. Nelson joined. Such
action will probably be taken. The
judicial board consists of Judge P. P.
johnson. of Lexington. KY; John l..
Mitchell, Milwaukee; Jesse D. Carr,
Salinas, CAL; NJ. j. Payne, Kansas
City, and George w. Archer, of Ro-
chester. One of the best known dele
gates to the congress said the board had
strong case against Nelson and Noble,
and was likely to expel both men and
horses. After Mr.. Nelson had reiter-
ated his assertion that with postpone
ment he could procure satisfactory eyi-
dence that he was innocent of the
charge of fraud. the board adiou rned
till a. m. Thursday.

MINNEToNKA Yacht CLUB.
Plans Accepted and a Survey to
Be Made.

The Minnetonka Yacht club held a
special meeting yesterday afternoon at
the Office of II. E. Ladd & Co., Minne-
apolis. There was a fair attendance,
and the report of the building commit
tee was read and discussed. Plans for
the new club house. prepared by Carl F.
Struck, were discarded as being too
expensive, the cost of building from
them being in the neighborhood of Sl2,-
600. Plans had been previously SUBJ
mitted by Henry w. Jones, the cost to
be about $1,000. and these were accept
ed, The building is to be one
story structure on the Swiss plan of
architecture, and will be fanciful and
hansome in design, besides roomy and
comfortable. Everett j. Nichols was
authorized to make a survey of Lake
Minnetonka, and prepare maps with a
true course for the coming regattas.
Heretofore the club has been using a
course which at the best was but little
better than guesswork. A few minor
changes were made in the rules govern
ing sail area, but as further changes
will be made before the season begins,
the present change will have little
effect. A directors meeting was held
after the regular meeting had ad-
Journed. Seven new members were
voted in.

SEARCHING FOR A SUICIDE.
A Party to ScOur Northwestern
Woods To-Day.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mlnn., Feb. 11.-Another
search party will start out in the morn
ing from Fond du Lac to look for the
body of the man discovered hanging in
the woods. 1t will be composed of ex-
perienced snowshoers and woodsmen,
and will be headed by the missing mans
dog. This animal made its way alone
back into the village of Fond du Lac
some days after leaving it with his mas
ter. That was over fortnight ago, and
the animal acted strangely at that time.
Citizens thought he had wandered from
his master. and they kept the animal
tied up. To-day the dog was released,
and left the village like a shot, disap-
peared up one of the trails leading over
the hills, He was gone until after
o'clock this afternoon, when he re-
turned with piece of tanned fur in his
mouth, supposed to be from his masters
moccaslns, as they were trimmed with
that material. 1t is believed that the
dog will be able to lead the searching
party to the body.

Brutal Murder.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, Feb. 11.-aenry
Frazier, aged twenty-five years, residing
at Anger Spout, five miles from Kees-
