ANOTHER ENGLISH SCANDAL.
The Il orrible Practices of Minister In the
shadow of Windsor Castle.

New York, April 25.--A London cable
from the International Telegram Company,
saws: A sensation has been caused in the
Parish of WINFIELD, the church of which
is attended by most distinguished con-
gregation, including many members of the
Court, owing TO its contiguity to Windsor,
by the arrest of its curate, Rev. Augustus
Pulling The charge against the Ereverend
gentleman is that he has been too intimate
with the female members of his flock. In
stances of his debauching young
girls of the parish are also disclosed,
and have aroused great indlg-
nation. The farmers of the vicinity threat
en- TO lynch him, and he was lodged in jail
last night, as much for his own protection
as in accordance with the warrant for his
arrest. He is aged 81, and has been for
many years curate of WINFIELD, has been
presented at Court, and was regarded as
the soul of mothers meetings and other
charitable works conducted by the ladies
of the congregation. The Queen, while In
residence at the castle, has often attended
his church The parish is one of the larg-
est in England.
One girl, IL years old, has made some
startling statements against the curate,
and il is upon the inquiries that resulted
therefrom that the charges and arrest are
are based.
Rev. Mr. Pulling in being brought be-
fore the magistrate for the examination,
presented a pitable spectacle of abasement
and humiliation He acknowledged with
tears in his eyes that he could not deny
the charges that had been made against
him, and confessed that he had been led
into evil courses by temptation beyond
his coutrOl.
An officer of the court testified that the
prisoner sought to offer him bribe. The
accused was remanded for further investi-
CATION, but was subsequently released on
bail TO the amount of $4,000.

AN OMINOUS QUIET
PREVAILS ON THE BATTLE FIELD IN TIE
COKE REGIONS.
An Alarming Feature, However, IS the Daily
Drilling Of the Hungarians- English
Speaking Strikers Quiet and Or
dsrly-Trouble This Week.

ScorrDALE, PA. April 25.-This has been
the only day of comparative quiet the coke
region has seen for weeks, and were it not
for the presence of the militia one would
scarcely realize that great struggle be-
tween labor and capital is going on.
One suspicious circumstance is rather
alarming the people of the region, and that
is the persistency with which squads oi
Hungarians go through daily drills. 1t is
from the foreign element alone that trouble
has come, and more is expected, as the Eng
lish speaking strikers are quiet, as rule,
while the Slavs and Hungarians spurred
on bv their wives, form a solid combina-
ton of the most bitter and faithful strikers
that ever stood by a labor organization.
Socialists Jonas and Delaber engineered
another excited masS-meeting today, and
have called their clans to a great central
meeting tomorrow. Their speeches are
explosive, violent and head strong, well
calculated TO inflame the foreign element
but are listened to with suspicion by the
better class of miners, who do not believe
the advent Of the worshippers of the red
flag has done the cause any good.
There were no evictiOns to-day, but Mon
day the circus will begin. Seven hundred
notices expire next week and the deputies
forces have been redoubled in order TO cope
with riots that are certain to follow with
probably more disastrous results than dur
ing the past week. The miners and their
wives and families, hungry and desperate,
need nothing more than spark TO create
an explosion of wrath over the heads of
deputies enlisted for the purpose of taking
the roof from over their heads.
While the tents of the strikers are al
ready beginning to show on the hills, and
another order for tents has been sent in by
their organization, some few members of
the militia rather object TO doing police
duty in ejecting defenseless women, but of
the Sheriff's deputies only enough have
been secured that they can stand idly by
only as a menace to evil doers
Ex-Sherif Guffey, of Westmoreland
county, has been comforting with labor
leaders to-day, suggesting arbitration as a
means of settlement. The strikers are
willing and may petition the Governor to
move for peace in the matter.
The Frick company shipped 1873 cars of
coke to-day The largest shipmedts they
have made. They also report that five cars
of coke were shipped from Kyle and 10
from Morewood
These are petty figures, however, as COM
pared with 1900 idle strikers and but
a few working. Many of the men at
Adelaide and other plants who were paid
off to-day are murmuring because each
was assessed - to pay for the guards.

band recovered and begged that the man
not be killed. The citizens who were in
the mob were subsequently arrested for at

JACK THE RIPPER.
No Developments of Special Interest-one
Suspect Under Arrest.


NPw York, April 25-The police and au-
thorities are very reticent concerning the
Jack the Ripper" murder.
Two suspects are among the persons un-
der arrest, and it is believed that the mys-
terry will soon be solved.
When FIVE women and two men were
hustled out of their cells in the Oak street
police station, this morning, Inspector
Byrnes' detectives questioned them closely,
in the hope of eliciting something that
might aid them in their search for the man
who disemboweled the old woman, Carrie
Brown, in the East River Hotel, Thursday
night. One of the males is known as
Frenchy The police refuse TO make his
name public.
A pair of trousers, supposed TO belong to
either "Frenchy" or another man who is
under arrest, were brought TO the station
house this morning. Spots on the trousers
NAV be blood stains. They answer the de-
scription of the trousers worn by the wo-
man slayer. They were found in Bowery
lodging house, where they had been left by
a man who went there about $3.50 o'clock
Yesterday morning This man, 1t is known,
frequented the East River Hotel. 1t is
said the owner Of the trousers is known to
the police, and the supposition is that he is
either "Frenchyi or the other prisoner.
The police have broken silence by say
ing that "Frenchy,n under the name Of
Buckley" occupied room No. 33, in the
Hast River Hotel, on Thursday night.
This room is diagonally across the hall
from room No. 81, where the murder was
committed "Frenchy,' therefore, is not
the actual murderer The other man under
arrest is Adolph Koldenberg. He was
captured at O'clock this morning. and
his description answers that Of the muir
derer.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
fire occurred on the third floor of the
building where the woman was murdered
The fire did but slight damage. Its cause
is unknown

GRAFTON, w. VA, April 25.-The ia
nous seduction case of Lulu Jaco VS.. DR..
Thayer, that has been in progress here
since Tuesday, was given to the jury about
4 o'clock p. m, which failed to agree and
was discharged by Judge Hoke. The jury
stood 10 to 3 in favor of the plaintiff The
Court room was crowded all day to hear
the pleading of the lawyers. M. H. Dent
opened for the plaintiff and John T. Bassell,
of Ciarksburg, for the defense. John t.
McGraw also spoke for the defendant.
NJ. H. Dent closed the argument in an hour
and a half speech for the plaintiff.
The case has been hotly contested
throughout its progress by the lawyers on
both sides. the evidence being very con
ficting Public opinion is divided. and the
trial for bastardy, with which the plaintiff
has charged Thayer. will probably come
up in this Court and may bring out new
evidence.
