CURED which is seldom equalled in the
history of crime. While the dancing was
going merrily and all were enjoying the
dancing tough character by the name of

took hold of gentleman and attempted
to remove him from the floor. This was

TROUBLE I'm A CHURCH.

A Boston Congregation Divided on a
Call to a Former Pastor-The Minis
ter Charged With Performing an
Abortion.
Boston, Aug. 2.-For some time past
there has been trouble in the Twelfth Bap-
fist Church society (colored), whose church
is located on Phillips street. The church
has been without pastor for several
months and call on behalf of portion OF
the members was recently extended to Rev.
Henry 81. Harris, former pastor. Mr..
Harris has been resting under criminal
charge and owing to this fact there was a
strong element in the church opposed to
his becoming their pastor. It was an
nounced that he would preach to-day, and
the opposing faction was bound to pre-
vent him. About o'clock this morning
as one of the Harris men was passing
the church he noticed a light within and
quickly summoning eight or ten friends
including the sexton, they effected an en-
trance, where seven of the anti-Harris men
were found engaged in mailing and board
ing up all the doors and windows, while q
large placard had been prepared announc-
ing that the church would be closed until
September. After long discussion the
anti-Harris party was elected from the
building. This forenoon, however, one of
their number swore out warrant charg-
ing Rev. Mr.. Harris with performing an
abortion, with view to preventing his ap-
pearance in the pulpit to-day. Mr.. Harris,
learning of this action, went to the police
station, where the warrant was read to
him, and he was released at once
on $4,000 bail. Accompanied by
special officer he then proceeded
to the church, where he preached a
strong sermon, making only incidental al
lusions to his troubles. The church was
crowded while the streets about the build
ing were filed with colored people anxious
to see what the outcome would be. AL
| though everyone was wrought up to high
state of excitement and warm words were
exchanged no blows were struck. Alto
gether the situation is decidedly interest
| ing and the Harrisites seem at present to
| be on top.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 2.-There were lively
times at st. Lodiaslas' (R. CO. church OF
Corwin avenue to-day. The congregation
is made up of Hungarians and Slavs, about
evenly divided, and there has been great
rivalry between the two nationalities
Finally the priest, Father Martinvue, de
cided to hold services for the Slavs in the
| morning ana LOT Ine huhSarians II
the afternoon. This morning thu
Hungarians wished to dedicate ban
ner, and the priest gave them hal
of the service. When he began to speak il
Bohemian the Hungarians left the church
and created disturbance outside. Tn
Slavs went out and drove the Huns from
the church yard, using clubs and pavin
stones. A battle was in progress when tn
police arrived and put stop to hostilities
It was necessary to take the police to hi
home under police escort. No one wa
seriously hurt, but there was great excite
ment around the church all the afternoon

DESTRUCTION BY WORMS.

Hemlock Forests I'm Several PennsyI.
vanta Counties Being Destroyed
by n Worm-Lumbermcn Becoming
Alarmed.
PTTsBURa, Pa, Aug. 2.-Potter county
is alarmed, and with good cause, over the
ravages of a worm that is destroying the
foliage and killing off the hemlock timber.
Only about five days ago 1t was noticed
by lumbermen that the tops of heavy
timber on the mountains were turning
brown as though the trees were dying.
The trees looked exactly as though they
had gone through a forest fire or were
whitening up for lack of irrigation. An
investigation was at once set on foot by
the lumbermen interested, and it was dis
covered that the affected trees were COW
cred with myriads of worms. They were
eating the foliage of this years growth
and when that had disappeared turned
their attention to the growth of the pre-
ceding year, the woody twig not being
touched. The remarkable scene is pre-
sented in the "choppings," where the bark
peelers are at work. The worms swarm
by the millions, while on all the trees from
Couderport to Port Allegheny miles and
miles of trees are turning brown and ruin
Is threatened to the vast lumber interests
of that section. The worm that is doing
the damage is of the 'tmeasurfnp-wo
species, about an inch long and barely an
eighth of an inch in diameter.
Reports from Glen Hazel, Elk county,
and from the east side of the county, state
that the same worm in countless numbers
is devastating the hemlocks there. As 1t
is said that the continued ravages of this
worm means the total destruction of young
hemlock, and the crippling of the stand
ing timber and drying up of its bark,
crisis eonfronts the whole population of
the entire hemlock region OF New York
and Pennsylvania, as the worm is steadily
advancing and spreading and owing to
their great numbers working destruction
with inoonceivable rapidity. Not only the
lumbermen are concerned, but the tanners,
farmers, railroad men, and in fact every
one, for this is pre-eminently a hemlock
region from Elmira, NY, to Punxsutaw
ney, Pa, thousand of men being employed
in the bark and lumber interests, and mil
lions of capital invested. Some of the
worm, with specimens of their destructive
work, have been sent to the agricultural
at Harrisburg

tackled the Omaha Granite Smelling works

result, as the fires are unprotected. The
mob is several hundred strong, and the
men are drunk.
At o'clock tonight the day shift men
assembled at the hall in Bohemiatown and
there in Bohemian, Pole and other foreign
tongues discussed the question. When
liquor and oratory had sufficiently aroused
the men they marched in a body to the
works and drove the men from the fur
naces and other parts of the buildings.
Police are on duty, but could do nothing
with the mob. At this hour Q1:30 p. m.

all Bohemians and Poles.

Horrible Butchery by a Gang OF
Drunken Italians-The Dead Bodies
Consumed by Fire-Why the Deed
Was Committed.
CATLETTsBURG, Ky, August 2.-Wayne
county, w. Va, was the scene of series
of murders on Friday night Mr.. Brum-
field, his wife and five children, were MUIR
dered in most horrible manner and their
bodies consumed by fire. About midnight
fifty italian railroad laborers became drunk
and started in tour of devastation. The
Italians went to the Brumfeld house and
we're refused admission. Doors and win
dows were forced open. Mr. Brumfeld
with his two haf-grown sons fought with
desperation, but were finally murdered,
their Threats being cut from ear to ear
and the bodies repeatedly stabbed. Mrs.
Brumfeld and her three little children
were next killed by the drunken Italians,
who then searched the house for money
and set it on fire. Mr.. Brumfeld was in
fuential and wealthy. Two or three years
ago, while county commissioner, he OPP
posed the building of new court house,
and thus made many enemies. The court
house was built and it is thought that Fri
day nights work was the result of the old
feud, and that Brumfeld's enemies sup
piled the Italians with liquor and then
pointed the path to the residence.
