PRONE BEFORE The PULPIT.
NJ ethods of Procedure Adopted by an
Erratic Indiana Clergyman.

COLUMBUS, Ind, May 26.-For io2
consecutive nights, up 10 and including
last Sunday night, a man named spicer
has been holding religious meetings at
corner of Brown county. He has had
full house at each meeting, and has
excited some Of his hearers very much,
and some very foolsh actions have oc-
Cured while his auditors were under
"the power" When he prays. he pros
trates himself on the floor IN front of
the pulpit and calls very loudly for the
Lord TO send salvation down. He pro-
poses to continue these meetings as
long as anybody will attend. One pc
cuilar feature is that he holds por-
tion of his meeting exclusively for
females and a portion exclusively
for male, and promiscuous meeting
also. Some OF the people are begin
ming to be tired of his manifestations
and talk OF closing the church against
him. Many young people go for fun,
and some of his hearers are evidently
bypnotized by hlm. In his meetings
for the men he outrages common de-
cency in both language nud action, but
since II was learned how he conducted
his meetings for males, several hus-
bands and fathers have forbidden their
daughters TO go 10 his meetings for fe-
males. In one instance a husband had
Forbidden his wife and daughter 10 at
tend the meetings any more, and they
insisted that they would attend. The
man threatened 10 apply "gad'' 20
them If they disobeye1, and he kept his
word. There is much commoron IN
the neighborhood over the affair, and
the matter is now III the hands of the
courts,

BEzLIS, May 2o.-Ihe difference be-

with an intens.ty that threatened

races are ceasing 10 mingie, politically
or socially. and much emoar-

man officials by the Czechs INSIST
ing on the use of the bohemian
language. The Prague exhibition,
which Is distinctly Czech, the Germans
taking no part, is attracting many WIS.,

A number of petitions have been sent
20 the koIser, praying INN TO effect q
reconciliation with Bismarck. The pc
t.tltions come chiefly from manufacture
ing districts, for Bismarck Is especially
popular on account of his policy of pro-
lection. The kaiser is said 10 be deeply
hurt by the tone and method OF these
documents and to consider their con-
tents something IN the nature OF de-
precatlon OF his own authority. lie has
turned over no less than tlye OF them 10
the prosecuting officers. Some OF these
petitions are IN poetry. The enterprise
OF Herr Orcar Bochart, formerly OF the
kmin Pasha relief expedition, Is strongly
supported by the German government,
and II Is thought that the kaiser, out OF
his private purse, will probable insist on
making the enterprise success. Herr
Bochsrt proposes TO take small tug 10
the Victoria Nvanza and also build on
the lake small shIpbuildlng yard. The
money at present available IS about
f500o, which was subscribed by the adj
mirers of DIR. Peters. Some German
artisans will go TO East Africa with the

GLASGOW, Nav 26.-Fire broke out
this morning IN Beveridge's pickle fac
tory while all of the people were at
work. The flames spread quickly and
cut off all means of escape from por-
tons of the building. A hundred young
women and girls employed IN the estab-
lishment were forced to take refuge in
the upper floor with the fire raging be-
meath them. Their screams and appeals
for help from the windows were plteous
IN the extreme. So high was the build
ing that none Of the poor creatures
dared to jump. The crowd in the
streets, among them the fathers,
mothers and friends Of the girls were
terribly excited and frantically urged
the firemen TO save them. At last a
ladder was raised which reached the
top story Of the building and the work
OF rescue began. The process was slow
ami conducted amid scenes of agoniz-
ing excitement. Additional ladders
were pieced together and pnt up. The
tiremen worked heroical.y and at last
succeeded In taking out all the en-
ployes, male and female, imprisoned in
the blazing building, and noon TO soon,
as some of the wOmen's dresses were on
fire and several persons were badly in
jured. 1t was an exceedingly narrow
escape for all of them. The flames
soon spread to the upper story and the
building was completely destroyed.

hold up train at Enfield last evening.
The tram was bound for st. John, and
when it had passed Enfield Station sew
eral shots were fired at the engineer.
Justas the train WAS drawing out OF
Enfield man was discovered by the
fireman crawling over the tender. He
shouted to the engineer To stop the
tram, but the latter paid no notice to
his request. But subsequently, the bell
was ruDg and after the ringing
was repeated the train was brought
to stop. Immediately party of four
men began firing on the train. The
leader was armed with a shotgun and
the others with revolvers. The belief is
the men wanted TO rifle the mail car.
The engineer, however, started the train
and succeeded IN getting beyond the
reach of the desperadoes' bullets before
anybody was hurt. The station agent
at Enfield fled for his life. He was IN
the act OF hanging out the signal lamp
when the gang fired upon him. One of
the bullets struck the lantern and
shattered it. The affair has aroused
the greatest excitement in this section.

LANSING, Mich. May 26.-Mayor uhi
appeared before the Senate Committee
on Cities and Villages today, Ia opposi-
ton 10 the dock line biil as II stands al
present He Is not satisfied with the
striking out of section "a alone, which
provided for building over the river on
piers, beyond the dock iinee, but he
wants such building absolutely pro-
hibited in the bill, so as 10 leave the
river bed free and unobstructed within
the lines established. He asked the
committee 10 amend the bill. 10y adding
10 the end of section l3, the words; ANA

for any riparian proprietor. upon SAID
stream, 10 build or erect any structure
IN or over, or IN any manner 10 en-
croach upon that portion OF said riyer
within the lines SO established rs afore-
sand" Mr.. Ubl took the same ground
on the inadvIsabiity of permitting the
building on piers over the river bed
that he did before the House commit
tee. Representative Hayward opposed
:he amendment proposed by Mr.. Uhi.
lie says: Mayor Uhl has gone back
on his former position altogether. He
opposed the bill before because he said
the condemnation proceedings were a
raid on the city treasury. Now he
wants 10 take away all rights 10 the
river bed. Ii we attempt To condemn
and take them away IT viii be too ex-
pensive and Just what he was kicking
about before"
Judge Burch Is Heard
Later in the afternoon Judge Burch
appeared before the committee and had
a hearing. His request was for change
IN the course of the east line. Repre-
sentative Hayward's bill, as 1t passed
the House and now appears IN the Sem
ate committee, provides that the east
dock line shall commence at the west
face of the east abutment of the Fulton
st. bridge, and run thence northerly,
on the old dock line, to the corner OF
A. Hirth's stone wall, aud thence north
erly on 4 straight line, TO point IN the
rear of the Blssell Carpet Sweeper
Company's building. The amendment
proposed by Jndge Burch, is TO COM
mence at the same point and run thence
northerly to the west face of the east
abutment OF the u. X. d /. K. X. bridge.
This was the reason for his appearance
before the committee. When asked how
he stood on the proposed amendment
of Mayor Uhl. he replied that he
was not concerned about 1t. He
took the position that what
ever rights the Riparian owners
had was question of law to be deter
mined Ivy the courts; that the Legisla-
ture could neither declare what they
were or should be, nor add TO them or
take anything away freri them. lie
thought Mayor Uhl was giving himself
a great deal of unnecessary anxiety
about the matter and that Representa-
tive Hayward was unduly troubled
about the mayors position. He did
not consider that the adoption or the
rejection of Mayor Uhl's amendment
affected at all the legal principle in
volved.
