in this section. the police included, are
becoming tired and afraid of the Hun
garinns in South Bethlehem, and would
rejoice at the departure of every one of
the 500 or more of that element from
that town, The latest outbreak was the
stoning Of three officers for refusing to
release five of their countrymen who had
been arrested for drunkenness and fight
ing. The police used their revolvers,
but fired them either high or low as
scare. An hour later, in the Hungarian
section, they were greeted with shower
of stones from upper windows, and then
attacked by crowd of Huns who were
assembled around corner Fifteen
more shots were fred in the air by the

THE CHRIST ToLLowERs-
A Crank Who Wanted Jay Gould 70
Divide Up.


New YoRk, May IA dangerous
crank, who gives his name as Charles J.
Dickson, has been arrested at the request
of Jay Gould. Dickson went on Mon
day TO the house of DR.. Mum, Gould's
physician, and announced that he was
vice president of an order called 1.-THE
Christ Followers" and that he had mis-
sion to kill Jay Gould. If, however, the
millionaire would give him $50, 600 and
make certain arrangements for the dis
tribution of his property to charity he
would refrain from assassination. Dixon
will be examined as to his sanity.
On Dickson's person when arrested
was found a blackjack and pistol. He
made no resistance and aftor reaching
police headquarters told Police Inspector
Byrnes that he was in the land commits
sion business at Pueblo, Col, and left
there on April is. He related thrill
ing story to the inspector about four
men he had killed single handed while
they attempted to rob his Office of egal
papers. He saiq he joined the Christ
Followers" ab0sH year ago in the fol-
lowing manner. He was instructed to
go to place called Owls Head, on the
- Canada line. He stayed until dark and
then about fifty men in masks Appealed
and surrounded him. He was made to
kneel and take a number of blood curd-
ling oaths. The object of the organiza-
ton was for the equalization Of money.
The council met about the 18th of last
month, he said, and convicted Jay
Gould. 1t fell To his lot to go TO New
York and make certain proposals to Mr..
Gould regarding the distribution of his
wealth, and if they were not complied
with he was to kill himself He would go
to Hartford, Conn, his native place,
where he had spot selected for the
deed. He said he would have two pis-
tolls, one to fire into the air and the
other to shoot himself with. This
would give the impression that he had
been murdered. The police regard the
man as very dangerous crank.

charged with procuring = governess,
Miss Nellie Beckett, for immoral pur-
poses, took place here yesterday. Capt,
vernsy pleaded not guilty of procuring
the young girl. but pleaded guilty Of
conspiracy, and was sentenced to enc
years imprisonment without hard labor.
The sentence of Capt. Verney is the
sensation of the day. 1t is the greatest
disgrace that English aristocracy has
encountered In this century, for the Yer
neys, although ennobied with the CEN
tury, are Of ancient descent among the
landed gentry, arc distantly connected
with the CalveTts, Of Maryland, and
Verney is on his mothers side the grand
sen Of Lord Kinnaird. The family fs

Midland counties, and one of its msm-
bers was standard bearer to King
Charles I. Verney himself on the death
Of his venerable father, Sir Harry Yer
ney, now in his Goth year, will succeed
to the title. - q
Apart from the seT1ea OF crimes that
have brought him TO grief, his record
has been one of honorable service in
war and peace. He served when little
more than boy in the Crimes, and in
India during the mutiny, and he has
been enthusiastic for education and tenn
perance, and, singularly also, for aiding
discharged prisoners. His wife is the
daughter of Sir John Williams, Of
Wales, q lady distinguished by her ef-
forts to improve the higher education of
sii..s. They have four charming chill
drep and a beautiful house in North
Wales.
The facts have been kept from the
aged father Of the delinquent, who is in
precarious health, so that it is probable
the prisoner will become a baronet in
the Jail.
The Conservatives and Liberals have
agreed that Verney, who is Liberal,
and Decobian, of Belfast, Conserva-
tive, and now fugitive accusedof un-
natural crimes, shall both be expelled
from parliament.
