up in very unenviable light DR.. S. L.
Bowker asserted that the company could
get or kill any legislation it wanted, and

it be for the Commission to recommend any
thing?
'Jn my opinion" was the answer, "with

not believe your report will be worth the
price of the paper it is printed on, as far as
the West End Company is concerned. The

Electricity is a failure as a motive

you have got to look to some other method

WHAT IRISH PAPERS SAY.
United ireland Is Bitter and Sarcastic, but
Others Are for Peace.

Others Are Tor Peace.
DUBLIN, Oct S.-URited Ireland taunts
Mr. Healy with threatening to drive Par
nell to his grave or lHnatic asylum, and
satirically asks whether Healy is happy,
now that ''the grave is open for one who
was the glory of manhood-a son of Ireland
ADLER than Grattan; greater than O'Connell,
and full of love for ireland.
The FIeenidR'S Joagndl says: "We claim
that great effort should now be made to
close, with death, the sad history of the last
few weary months of fratricidal strife. -
The National Press says: 'Let dissension
cease. With Parnell's death the last pre-
tense for faction died, and all honest lovers
of their country may shake hands over the
open grave. The struggle between Par
nell's ambition and Ireland's liberty is over
forever"
The Irish Times asks: "What effect has
the exit of NJ. Parnell? The question re-
mains whether the independent opposition
will maintain their present attitude; if they
do, it is improbable that they Will find a
leader ready to confront the difficulties
which were too much for the strong heart
and physical frame of Parnell." "
The Ene,si9g Press, a McCarthyite organ,
to-day says: ''The death of Mr. Parnell is
a terrible lesson to those who thought that
the Irish nation should take his life as a
lease of Ireiand's safety"

PRESIDENT GANNoN's OPINION.
The Newly Elected Head of the Irish
American League Is ParnelPs Admirer.

The Newly Elected Head of the Irish
American League Is ParneIPs Admirer.
OMAHA, Oct. S-N. Cannon, President
of the Irish National League, greatly
lamented the death of Mr. Parnell, saying:
"He was the greatest man, in my opinion,
that ireland ever had, in parliamentary
snse. He had all the elements which COM
maud the attention and win the respect of the
Irish people. He was cool, calculating and
far-seeing. He saw. as few men did before
hand, that it was necessary to nationalize
all parts of the island and labored assidu-
ously to that end. The towns, cities and
countries under his administration were
nationalized as far as existing law would
permit He was Protestant, and for that
reason alone his actions endeared him to the
vast majority of his countrymen, who were
and are anxious that religious feuds shall
not disturb or threaten the course of Irish
politics.
The English Government and press might
rail at him and prosecute him, but he was
invincible against every,agency which could
be used against him till the unfortunate af-
fair in the divorce court Personally, my
confidence in him never wayered, but now
that he is dead deem it the part of duty
and of patriotism to close every avenue of
discord over the grave of the man whose
reputation will grow stronger and brighter
as years go by. The effect on the League
will be to unity all parties and factions,
and it cannot fail to bring about unity of
those who were persistently bitter toward
Parnell in his later life

FIGHT IN A PULPIT.
A BATTLE ROYAL BETWEEN A MIN
IsTER AND CHURCH TRUSTEES.

The Preacher Was Knocked Down and
Dragged Outlets Have a Riot, One
Trustee YelIed-The Clerical Victim Sues
for $4,000 and Is Beaten.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, Oct. ST. Special 1.-The
Rev. John H. Boyes, of the Baptist Church
of Tivoli, sued Trustee Worthington for as
sault; claiming S., 900 damages. The trial
occurred yesterday. Boyes forced his way
into his pulpit one Sunday in May last,
after the trustees had notified him that his
services were no longer required.
On the witness stand to-day Boyes told of
the struggle in the pulpit, in which the
Bible was snatched from his hand. He said
Trustee Worthington yelled out: ''I'll take
him out Of there" and grabbed him, and
pulled and hauled him, the congregation
looking on. Trustee Martin took hold of
him, and Boyes was thrown on his back on
the floor, his buttons torn from his clothes
aud his suspenders torn loose.
He got up and took hymn book to sing,
but Trustee Fiero shouted to him: 'You
can't sing here; let's have riot" Then
Boyes tried to pronounce the benediction,
but Trustee Worthington yelled: ''You
can't pray here" and also shouted: ''Bah!
BAH bahr'
After Boyes had testified Judge Barnard
abruptly terminated the case by saying: II
am ready to meet this question. There is
nothing here for jury. I think the meet
ing in February had right to discharge
this man. There should not have been such
an unseemly scene in the pulpit. If the
counsel for the trustees will move for nom
suit 1 will grant it. He ought to have gone.
He had no right to force his way into the
pulpit"
Counsel for the trustees moved for a nom
suit and it was granted.

INSURANCE MEN MEET.
SOME NOTABLE PAPERS READ BY
THE FIRE UNDERWRITERS.

A Proposition to Have Coroners Sit on
Fires and Investigate Their Causes
Honesty Among Insurance Men-The
Interstate Rights of Citizens.
CHICAGO, Oct Sat to-day's session of
the Fire Underwriters Association of the
Northwest, Thomas B. Bryan, Vice Presi-
dent of the Worlds Fair Directory, deliv-
cred an address on "Fire Underwriters and
the Worlds Fair
''f'ire Prevention by the Coroner Plan,"
was the rather odd subject of an address by
c. c. Hipe, of New York, editor of the
Monitor, in wich the speaker urged the pas
sage of laws requiring coroners to investi-
gate the cause of every fire and fix the re-
sponsibility therefore. The association
was well pleased with this idea and will en-
deavoE to secure legislation to that end.
Seth Eggleston, of Kansas read a paper
entitled, GAS to Our Honesty" in which
he asserted that insurance men were abso-
lutely honest as to the public, but deplored
their lack of honesty toward each other
William E. Page, of Minneapolis read
paper on Insurance as Profession Versus
City, gave "Random Remarks on Fire In
surance." The latter paper was princi-
pally aimed at legislators who ignorantly
endeavor to damage and impede the bust
ness of honest insurance.
The session closed with paper on 'Pau1
Versus Virginia. by Sylvester C. Will
Jams, of Denver, the paper being review
|of the famous case of Samuel Paul against
the State of Virginia, the plaintiff having.
attempted to act as an agent without a
license. Mr.. Williams used the occasion to
argue in favor of the Interstate rights of
citizens and the assertion that INSURANCE. is a
vital part of commerce and should be- given
its privileges as such.

SOCIETY BADLY SHOCKED
In Baltimore by a Suit for Divorce Brought
by CLUB Man.


BALTIMORE, Oct. s.-[Special. Louis
Melville Evans, a young man who is well
known in society here, to-day began suit for
absolute divorce. The bill was filed very
quietly, and the fact was probably known to
Mrs Evans, for almost Immediately after
her attorney filed an answer, and before an
examination of the bill and answer could be
made all the papers were withdrawn. The
only explanation given was that Mr.. Evans
had charged his wife with unfaithfulness,
and he gave as correspondents the names of
two Philadelphia gentlemen.
If there should not be sufficient proof
offered to satisfy the court then as many
more names as are deemed necessary willbe
added to the list of correspondents.
These sweeping charges are denied abso-
lutely, and Mrs. Evans claims she will at
the proper time prove her innocence. Evans
is a well-known club man, who lives off his
money. he is about 26 years of age, and
met his wife in Scranton several years ago.
They were married June 20, 1885, and have
one child. Up to last Saturday Mrs. Evans
resided with her husband, but early Sunday
morning she left for Washington, where she
is now stopping with some friends. She is
about 20 years of age.

Frightful Accident to Parachute Jumper
and His Assistant.

Frightful Accident to a Parachute Jumper
and His ssistant.
MARSHALL, ILL, Oct 81 Special. IA
horrible accident happened this afternoon
at the fair in Greenup, "a miles west of
here on the Vandalia line. William Kiser,
a young fellow of about "a years, who has
made number of balloon ascensions at
Kelly's Park, Louisville, was engaged by
the Fair Association at Greenup to make
an ascension and parachute drop. Alex. Cor
don, of Charleston, who was attending the
fair, attempted to help. After the balloon
was properly inflated the ropes were cast
off and balloon and parachute darted sky
ward. An unearthly groan went up from
the crowd when it was seen that Gordon
had in some manner got his legs entangled
in the ropes connecting balloon and para
chute and was hanging downward between
the two, struggling to free himself.
His struggles jerked the life line and the
parachute was cut loose at height of about
$50 feet, and parachute, Gordon and Kiser
dropped in flash, the parachute not OPEN
ing Kiser struck on the gnarled roots of
huge oak tree and the left side of his head
was literally caved in and his neck was
broken of: He lived but few minutes
Gordon struck on tent, which broke and
saved his lite. One of his legs was broken,
however, and his body terribly bruised.
