self very amusingly. He had been invited
to dine with Mrs. Sartoris soon after her
marriage, aud before he had made the nc

he entered the dining room--arrivn9 early,
as usual-he found only his host, who, by
the way, had the reputation OF being a
very silent man. Mr.. Sartoris bowed
courteously, and by a wave OF the hand in
dictated that his guest should be seated.
Then the two sat on either side OF the fire

The contest was so equally maintained that
neither OF us spoke during the ten minutes

As the masters had abandoned these
plantations and fed into the interior,
Mr.. Pierce returned to Port Royal with
large company of young men and
few women to begin his experiment. or
the women there were Miss Susan
Walker, Mrs. johnson and Mrs. Dom

who offered to go were two untricd vol
unte"rs who were SO youthful that Mr.
Pierce declined to accept their services.
One Of them returned to her home. The
other would not be denied, and her pa
triotc devotion was such she finally
overcane the objections Of Mr.. Pierce.
She pleaded for the RIGHT to serve her
country in this muun.t, promising to
supplement by her strength and activity

superiors in age. Soon all of the ladies
were installed in the home at the head

women and children were bitten by a big
black Newfoundland dog which ran wildly
through the eastern section OF Newark for
two hours Saturday evening. The animal

cussed, and il was decided to wait until
today to wait for further developments.
The dog was FIRST seen in Bowery street,
rushing along and swapping at everything
in its path. There were many people in
the thoroughfare but they broke aud ran
in every direction when the animal ap-
preached II first bit Michael O'Brien, an
old man living at 100 Polk street, in the
thigh, and when shaken off ran to Michael
Brown, OF Oxford street, and lacerated
his hand. BY this time a crowd was chas-
ing Uhe evidently rabld animal and en-
deavoring to kill it, BY doubling and
running through side streets it escaped
until at Madison and Ferry streets brick
hurled from the crowd laid it low. Then
II was stoned and dubbed to death by the
excited crowd
Many people had been bitten. Following

Shepherd, a wealthy contractor OF this
city, whose mysterious disappearance from
home last January created sensation
throughout the whole country, arrived
here late Saturday night His coming
was awaited, but in some manner ne
eluded those who were watching for him
and went quietly to his home. Ats o'clock
Sunday morning he was aroused from bis
slumbers by three detectives. He was
placed under arrest and taken TO the Office
OF Justice Davidson, where he was charged
with alternating the affections OF Mayor
Sutton's wife. The prisoner refused to
make any statement, and was held in $lO..
600 bail for trial The arrest has caused
decided sensation. For five months after
Shepherds disappearance il was thought
he was dead, and had been the victim Of
foul play

whole community by sending a telegram

Or. MeLYNN's DEFIANCE.
He Refuses 10 Retract a Single Word
He Has said.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S--At Cooper Union
last night, Rev DR. Edward McGiynn
gave his promised answer to the recently
published ultimatum OF Archbishop Cor.
rigan. DIR McGlynn was cheered to the
echo when he first appeared upon the
platform.
DIR. McGlynn reviewed the history OF his
Ease aud said he was suspended by Arch
bishop Corrigan on account OF alleged in
sulting language against the pope In an
interview In which there was nothing
about the Repe, but justice rather than
charity was asserted to be the remedy for
the poverty OF the masses; because he
taught and failed to retract the economic
doctrine that the natural bounties belong
TO the community and their rental value
should be turned into the public treasury;
and because he claimed that the true and
only remedy for social evils lay 10 the abo-
lition Of private ownership of land and in
the restitution to all men OF those rights
IN the soil that are now unjustly nonopo-
lized by a few.
In conclusion DIR. McGlynn said: "My
answer to this ultimatum is that | cannot
condemn or retract what have said and
done Of an insulting character as against
the archbishop and as against the holy
see for the excellent reason that have not
insultcd the archbishop or the holy see,

JUDGE LIVINGSTON DEFEATED.
His Futile Attempt 20 Keep the Alliance
Out OF the sreakership Fight.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov 23-The supreme
council of the Farmers Alliance has ad-
jonrned after an eventful meeting. IL twas
determined TO establish legislative ooun.
ell or lobbying council OF three at Wash
ington, each member to draw a salary Of
S2,000 per year. The most important ac-
tion was a resolution pledging the Ali
ance to stand by the decision Of the Febru-
airy conference Of the federated unions. As
II is foregone conclusion that that con
ference will declare for independent politi-
cal action, this resolution practically
pledges the support OF the Alliance to the
Peoples party. This measure was bit
terly fought by Livingston and ether
southern leaders, but they were outvoted
The supreme council turned over the
charges against G. w. Macnne TO the
Texas delegation which adopted a resolu-
tion condemning the charges as infamous
falsehoods which had before been investi-
gated and found unsubstantiated. vote
Of confidence in Maeune was carried unani.
mously
The resolution demanding separate eau
Gus action for the speakership on the part
OF the Alliance congressman was modified
after hard fight and reported in the fol-
lowing form:
Realizing that the action Of the mem
bers of the Fifty second congress who were
elected by aid Of Alliance constituencies
will have an important influence upon the
welfare OF our beloved order, we respect
fully request all representatives in said
congress so stated to decline to enter into
any party caucuses called 20 designate a
candidate for the Office OF speaker unless
adherence to the principles Of the Ocala
platform Is made test Of admission to
said caucuses.n
Judge Livingston made vehement
speech Of protest lie plainly told the con
vention that he would withdraw from the
Alliance before be would be bound to po-
litical action. His position in this matter
is based upon his desire to see Crisp, OF
Georgia, elected speaker. OF the thirty
two congressman elected by the Alliance
vote some twelve or sixteen are for Crisp.
and the resolution will place them all in
very embarrassing position. Judge Liv-
ingston was defeated and the resolution in
its modified form was carried in the su-
preme council Il was defeat for the
Democratic delegates of the south.
