of late, left there late last night for Chi
cago and incidentally Mr.. A. Mccartney
of California. who much resembles
Schweinfurth, and who was travelling East
with his daughters, had a very exert
ing experience. He had been
observed about the city yester-
terday and quietly trailed by some people
who supposed him to be Schweiniurth,
and when he started for the Kansas City
deuOt last night with his daughters, word
was quickly spread about that the Rock
wood man was leaving town with tWo
Kansas City females A crowd of in
furiated citizens FASTENED to the depot,
and when the McCartneys arrived in a
carriage. a rush was made for them.
Mr.. Mccartney was considerably surprised
at the hostile demonstration, but promptly
whipped out a Young amor and ordered
the crowd to stand back. Then he ex-
PLANE to them who he was, whereupUn
one of the leaders of the mob told hun
they had ~contounded him with Schwein-
turth, and the crowd dispersed. All this
time, it is said, Schwelnfurth was snugly

listening to the tumult outside.

MINNEAPoLIs. June s. A Tribune
Winnipeg special says: Yesterday Rev.
Mr. Mordy, a well known Winnipeg
divine, went to PORTAGE to conduct the
prosecution of half a dozen hotel keepers
who violated the liquor law. Mordy Sc
cured a conviction, and when leaving the
court room was mobbed. He escaped
with slight injuries, toking refuge in the
Methodist parsonage. Later in the day,
when at the depot to take the tram tor
Winnipeg, he met with a warm reception,
the liquor men first covering his clothes
with rotten eggs and then assaulting him.
He was badly injured. Rev. Mr.. Dun
can, who went to his assistance, had his
nose broken and was otherwise badly
handled. The Winnipeg liquor men
threaten to renew the attack.

Train in a Storm.
A Winnipeg Minister Mobbed
by Liquor Men.
Prominent Harvard Students
Arrested and Fined

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 5.-The pas
sengers aud crew of the east-bound Air
Line train had a thrilling experience yes
terdAy. When the train pulled out of St.
Louis Jack Spaulding was the conductor
and Charles Chambers stood at the thrut
tie They were moving at a pretty good
rate of speed and al hough the weather
was threatening everything was working
peri, city. Suddenly the atmosphere be-
came very heavy and oppressive. Look
ing ahead. the engineer saw Il huge bal
loon shaped cloud bearing down upon
hun. Ii came with a rush aud a crash
that sounded high above the rumbling of
the train. The engineer saw great trees
torn up by the roots, fences swept away
and high banks leveled by the rapering
tail OF the tornado as it touched the
ground. 1t was coming directly toward
him and he realized that it could not be
escaped. Without a moments loss of
time he called to his fireman to throw
in coal, and then brace himself for a ter
rible shock. The brave engineer then
pulled the throttle wide open and the
ponderous engine fairly jumped along the
rails as fast as the full force of forty
lbuuuS vi tbNhm WOulu carry nGIs Ou
came the tornado. For an instant 1t
lowered over the track and then the tram
dashed into it. The engine rocked and
swayed, seemingly about to turn over
every moment. and the occupants of the
cab only saved themselves from being
thrown out by lying down and clutching
the hot steam pipes. In the cars the
scenes were even more exciting. When
cars rose and tell from one side to the
other the passengers we're hurled hither
and thither like nine-pins. The air re-
sounded with screams and prayers of men.
women and children. The lightning .or
that brief moment played through the
train, and huge hail stones struck and
broke the ear windows. This state of
affairs existed for but a short time, and
then the train drew out of the tomato
and the cars settled quietly back on the
rails. The tornado passed off then over
the open Illinois country. None of the
passengers were badly hurt, but many
were bruised

the Great America. 1t will be wholly de-
voted to pugilism, and the members will
be given a monthly show, with every
luxury that a first class theater affords.

BELorT, Wis. June 5 There is much
excitement today over the fracas of the
college and academy students last night,
which resulted in an inciplent riot. The
senior academy class was to have its an
nual bauqner, which event for years has
been the occasion of more or less OF a
muss. Usually the members of the
banqueting class are kidnapped by the
other classes or otherwise detained from
participating in the festivities. Last
night some OF the college and academy
men made a charge on the %banqueting
class One student was shot in the side
by another, but the wounds are not
dangerous Windows were hroken in the
hotel where the supper was to be served.
The postmaster was taken from his home
TO the banquet hall under a guard of pn-
lice. There were several bandagrd heads
at the Rotations tod,y. 1t was the
toughest event the college boys ever en-
gagged in here.

The Itatn case.

WASHINGTON, June 5-Secretary
Tracy says the next step will be to send
the ltara back to the United States to
stand trial. There is no expectation that
the officers and crew Of the Itata will
jeopardize their liberty by returning with
the vessel to San Diego, and in fact, as il
was reported from Mexico that the com
mander Of the insurgent war ship Es-
meralda acted as captain of the ltata as
far as Acapulco, there are at least good
reasons why he must not return to the
United States. In official circles it is be
lieyed the ltats will not likely suffer
heavily as the result of her es.
capade. Credence is given to the
statement telegraphed from Chill
that the vessel took the con-
traband arms and ammunition from
the Robert and Minnie outside United
States jurisdiction. II this is true the
offense against the neutrality laws is
mlnlmized, and it is very doubtful if a case
would be made ont against her in the
present state OF uncertain construction of
the law. There is little doubt that she
can be held on other charges, such As
contempt OF court In sailing awsy while
under Injunction, kidnapping the marshal
and sailing without clearance papers. but
these are minor o~ffenses whose punish
ment is likely to take the shape Of fines
and not to the length of forfeiture of the
vessel.
The only dispatch received at the navy
department today from Admiral Mccain,
at lauique, was correcting the statement
as to the location of the Itata when the
arms we're transferred to it from the
Robert aud Minnie. This transfer, the
dispatch says, took place off the San
Clemente Islands, a few miles from the
coast, instead of off San Diego harbor.
The location of the transfer may be OF i'm
portance in determining the question of
Jurisdiction OF United States courts.

SALT LAKE, June 5 Ed Callahan, a
well-known mining man, was murdered
early this morning on a road south of this

a sporting woman and she says that while
returning, a masked man stepped out iGto
the road, fired three shots at Callahan and
dragged him from the buggy. When
she drove back. after quoting the horse,
Callahan lay dead in the road. His
pockets were turned inside out. He is

NEW YORK. June {. THE directors OF
Union Theological seminary have met and
declared their position on the question OF
the right of the general assembly OF the
Presbyterian church to veto the transfer
Of Prot. Chas. A. Briggs from the chair
OF Hebrew to the chair of biblical theology.
The resolution passed at the meeting this
afternoon says the directors, after having
taken legal advice and after due consid-
Grafton, see no reason to change their
views on the subject OF the transfer
of DR.. Briggs, and feel bound in
the discharge of their duties
under the charter and constitution
Of the seminary. to adhere to the same.
The intent of the veto passed by the gen
eral assembly at its recent sessions in De-
troit was that DR.. Briggs should cease to
be a professor in the Union seminary.
The effect of the resolution given above
is that it Is the judgment of the directors
that the veto was a u]surDatIon of powers
never given, or intended to be given. to a
general assembly, ard since the veto was
Illegal, the appointment stands and DR..
Briggs will continue as professor during
the coming year as during the past seven

The business man knows Broadway
as a street blocked with moving drays
and wagons, with pavements which move
with unbroken lines of men, and that
are shut in on either side by the tallest
of tall buildings. 1t is a place where no
one s~trolls, and where a man can as cas-
lily swing his cam as a woman could
wear a train Pedestrians do not walk
steadily forward mere or in a straight
line, but dodge in and out like runners
on a football field. They all seem to be
trying to reach the bank to have a check
cashed before 3 o'clock. The man who
stops to speak to a friend or to gaze into
a shop window is jostled and pushed
and shouldered to one side. Every one
seems to be trying to catch up to the
man just in front of him, and every m
has something to do, and something on
his mind to think of, too, if his face tells
anything.
So intent are they on their errands
that they would not recognize their own
wives if they passed them by. This is a
spot where the thermometer marks fever
heat. 1t is the great fighting ground of
the city, where the battle of business
goes on from 8 o'clock in the morning
until 8 in the afternoon, at which time
the work flags a little and grows less
and less hurried until5 when the armies
declare an armistice for the day, and
march off up town to plan a fresh cam
paign for the morrow.
The armies begin to arrive before s,
and gather from every point of the COM
pass. The ferryboats land them by thou
sands and hurry back across the river
for thousands more; the elevated roads
marshal them from far up town, gather
ing them by companies at each station,
where they are unloaded and scattered
over the business districts in regiments,
They come over the Brooklyn bridge by
tens of thousands in one long, endless
procession, and cross the City Hall park
al a quick step. 1t is one of the most i'm
pressive sights the city has to offer

on the United States cruiser Charleston
describes the warlike preparations on the
cruiser at the time she entered Acapulco
harbor while on her chase after the
Chiliau steamer Itata. The letter says
the Charleston arrived at Acapulco at
1880 a. m, May l6. At 4 o'clock in the
morning she encountered the Esmeralda.
The Charleston was e~ndeavGring to enter
the harbor unseen, but the Esmeralda
threw ont her search light and all hands
on the Charleston were called to general
quarters and the ship was cleared for ac-
ton. The crew were at their stations for
three hours, as it was supposed the Itata
was in the harbor and everything was 10
readiness TO take her. Six and s inch
shells were piled on the deck and every
gun was loaded. The Esperalda followed
the Charleston into the harbor. but the
latter left and resumed her chase as soon
as possible.
