committed to legislation having i'll view
the protection of American labor and in

Matt. II. Carpenter, of Milwaukee,
and completed the legal course
ut Harvard. He published in
1860 a pamphlet defending the national
power of the federal government as
against the Calhounistic estate rights"
views held by his own party. This
pamphlet was so effective as to prevent
the election of q chief justice, and
saved the state from being committed
III lS60-6l to the doctrines on which
South Carolina seeded.
With an irrepressible tendency to
newspaper work he obtained repor-
toral position on the EvESING WIsCoN-
SIN, and afterwards rose to the editor

city. After nearly five years army scrv-
ice be came to New York, spent two
years on the editorial staff Of the New

cepted the position of editor of
the Evening Mail which he has
retained since, and admirably managed
through its consolidation with the Ex-
press. The Majors powerful attacks on
the Tweed ring i'll New York caused his
appointment as a member of the com
mittee of seventy who ruled the city

suggesting the propriety of making ar
rangemcnts with the various states for
sending their militia to the fair in sue
cession, 10 act III the capacity of guards
of honor and police upon the grounds.
Mr.. Mercer, in speaking to his motion,
said that the policing of the grounds
during the fair would cost 81 600, 900, and
that tile bringing of the militia as sug-
gcsted would prove source Of revenue

the fair by bringing to it the relatives of
the citizen soldiers. After some discus

with scarlet fever soon after It's ar
rival. 1t was isolated as soon as the
school authorities became aware what
was the matter with it, but ap-
parently too late to save its nu-
merous companions. There are no
fatalities among the children yet, and
the school authorities say they do not
vet anticipate any, but of course cannot
predict the outcome with any certainty.
The sanitary conditions of the school
have had careful supervision in the past,
and were supposed to be excellent.
Regular school work has been, of
course, suspended, and everybody's
time is taken up in caring for the sick.

A Rare sight Witnessed Near Ashury
Park, \. j.
The visitors who iourneyed to the
beach at Asbury Park, \. j., on the 5th,

treated to a sight rarely witnessed near
shore. About 9 O'Clock the wind was
blowing furiously from the northeast.
Suddenly the sea at spot near the
shore was unusually agitated, and as
the eyes OF all were directed
to the spot huge water
spout formed and began moving sea-
ward in a southeasterly direction. The
volume of water was balloon-shaped,
and was fully 800 feet high. There were
no vessels in its track, but Tyler En-
mons, a fisherman, narrowly escaped
the mountain of water. He saw it ap-
preaching, and pulled his boat out of
the way of the swlrling column, which
passed within 100 yards of him. The
water-spout left in its wake a broad
track of foaming water, and the incom-

half an hour after the spout disap-

COLORED BRETHRtN AT WAR.
Parson Nichols Finds His Church Door
Barred Against Him.


RACINE, Wis, Sept. THE pastor
and the congregation of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church in this
city have had falling out. The quar-
rel hasn't reached the razor stage as
yet, but as the blood on both sidhs is
greatly heated it is not known how
soon the affair may become serious.
About six months ago the Rev. Mr..
Brown, pastor of the church, died, and
the Rev. Mr.. Nichols was named to
succeed him. A coldness sprung
up between congregation and
parson, which resulted in a
communication being forwarded to the
conference at Chicago stating that the
coiored people at Racine did not de-
rrason given was that the church socie-
t. was unable TO pay a minister. Nev-
ertheless Mr.. Nichols was returned TO
the Racine charge. Yesterday morning
open rupture came. When the preach
er went 10 the church to conduct the
service he found the doors bolted and
barred, and he was unable TO enter the
sanctuary. The service was according
ly postponed to evening, when the mln-
lister successfully stormed the church
and occupied the pulpit. Members OF
the congregation say Mr.. Nichols
shall not preach again; he says
he has been sent to Racine
to run the church for two years, and
that he will do it or fight. The opposi-
tion to the Rev. Mr.. Nichols is owing to
the fact that he recently sold ice cream
at a picnic where dancing was per
mitted. Mr.. Nichols says he sold ice
cream at the picnic because he required
money. He had preached at Racine
six months and had received only
25C, and as he needed new suit OF
clothes he hit upon the ice cream stand
as a way out of the difficulty.
