A PREACHER DErRAUDED.
The Strange Case Brought Up I'm q
Seattle Court.

SEATTLE Wash, Aug. 13.-Rev. J.
Kirkpatrick. Cumberland Presby terian
minister, formerly of Brownsville, Or,
filed two peculiar cases in the superior
court to-day against q. Calkins, the East
Seattle boomer which will create SEN
sation. Rev. kirkpatrick represents
that nearly year ago, while employed
by his charge in Brownsville, he came
to Seattle, where he received call
to take church at Green Lake. Mr..
Calkins, learning Of this, offered him
such Inducements to go to East Seattle,
that he resigned his Brownsville charge
declining the Green Lake charge. and
accepting the proposition of Mr..
Calkins. Mr.. Calkins proposed to build
for him $1,000 church on Mer-
Ger island, If he would sell q
certain amount Of real estate
and gave him commission of 10 per
cent. on the gross amount of the sales
Rev. Mr.. kirkpatrick succeeded in sell
ing to the people of his Brownsville con.
gregation property aggregating s7,775,
upon representing 10 them that q 81. 900
church was to be erected out of the pro-
ces DIS. This was more than the amount
OF real estate REQUIRED to be sold by the
agreement with Calkins.
Rev. kirkpatrick reported the sales to
Mr.. Calkins, who Immediately pro-
ceeded to Brownsville and conveyed the
lots TO the buyers without the knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Kirkpatrick and discounted
the notes. Rev. Kirkpatrick also bought
one block himself Tor 81, 400, giving his
notes for 5000 and 81, 200 and a first pay
ment of 5000, TO be paid in com
missions on the sales made. He
reminded Mr.. Calkins of his
agreement to erect the church, and says
the latter replied "To HI with you and
your church." He alleges that he re-
fused utterly, and still refuses, to erect
the church or pay the commission for
the amount Of the property sold. The
plaintiff alleges that he has been dam.
aged to the amount of $500, and prays
for that amount and $757.50 commits
sion, and IL decree annulling the notes
against him held by Calkins.
Rev. kirkpatrick now lives at Ravenna
Park. lie claims that the transaction
has placed him in a false light before
his former parishioners. 1t is said that
1t the cases are decided against Calkins
suits will be brought by each of the
Brownsville buyers for the recovery Of
amounts paid to Calkins and for de-
cree declaring their notes void.

THE rIREMEN ALL RioHT.
Vice President Webb said this after
noon regarding the statement OF the
morning papers that the iiremen had
been called out, that the order calling
them out had been issued a few days
ago, but that both the firemen aud

Webb added. that neither the engineers
nor the firemen will go out"

Every train which left the depot this

SITUATION AT ALBANY.
Tho Delaware A. Hudson Canal Com.
pany's Men Go out.

ALBANY, Aug. 13.-The switchmen
and laborers in the upper Delaware x
Hudson yards quit this afternoon.
Railroad men say that they do not
know the cause. The report that the
brakemen have also gone out is pro-
nounced untrue. One OF the company's
officers says the number of strikers will
not exceed go, The men claim that
they detected the Delaware d Hudson
officials endeavoring TO move New York
Central freight in violation of promise
made to the district assembly. They
say the strike will extend the whole
lsngth of the road before night. Passen.
ger trains are all running and the strik-
srs say they will not disturb them.
The knights claim the action of the
Central people in bringing on n
large number of switchmen from
the Michigan Central yards at
Chicago will at once extend the
strike to the western lines of the Wander
bilt system. At noon the Delaware a.
Hudson Company's freight and yard
men, except the engineers and firemen,
quit work and by tho signal given on
that road 1t is thought the Boston IL Al
bany and fitchburg freight departments
will strike before night Trouble Is
feared here now.
Mr. Reed, OF the Locomotive Firemen's $
Brotherhood, is authority for the follow
ing: I'VE were all ordered out by
order from the headquarters"
Reed is the division chief of the
brotherhood. The strike was ordered by
Mr. Sargent, general chief Of the FIRE
mems brotherhood. 1t Is understood
that the order applies to the New York
Central and West shore roads, and 1t is
reported that the iirelnen on the latter
road have struck and that the road is
tied up. 1t is probable that 1t may ex.
tend to other roads tonight.

New YORK, Aug u.--All through the
night and early this morning it looked
as though the strike on the New York
Central was slowly but surely losing
strength. Nevertheless, both parties, so
far as words went, at all events, were as
stubborn as ever. The Buffalo express,
or newspaper train. moved out on time
at A. NJ, and before two trains had
been sent out over the Harlem division.
Soon after an announcement was made
that all trains would he run to-day.
The police arrangements remain the
same as yesterday, except that the men
were told not to leave their posts, even
for an instant.
Vice President Webb contradicted the
statement made last night that the fire
men had struck. He declared that all
passenger trains were running fully
manned. and every thing. he declared,
was in fine shape all along the road ex.
cept at Syracuse, whore proper protec-
tion was not accorded. He had tels-
graphed Governor Hill for troops. He
added that arrangements were being
perfected for moving freight to-day.
Up TO noon to-day rot single piece
Of mail had been received from the West
