Mr. Mason Says This is World OF
Mind Imagination--What Was
Done In All the
Churches.

The services at the churches yesterday
showed an increase in attendance over
previous Sundays IN spite of the heat.
The new churches recently organized
exhibited a gratifying increase in attend
ance and several of them took in new
members.

Rev. Patterson. of Tacoma, filled the
pulpit of the Emmanuel PRESBYTERIAN
Church yesterday morning. His sub
iect was Winning Souls, and he spoke
in a manner to hold the attention of his
entire congregation. In the afternoon
he was unexpectedly called to Redondo,
and could not address the young men s
meeting at the Y. M. G. A., as was an
nounced in yesterdays HERALD. 1t is
expected that he will deliver an address
before the Y. M. G. A. in about two
weeks, however.
x*x
Old Folks day at the First Methodist
church was an interesting occasion.
The interior of the church had been
nicely decorated, and there were con-
siderable number of those designated as
old people present. The sermon was
most excellent.
Rev. P. F. Bresee, D.D. was warmly
welcomed by the members of Asbury
church yesterday, after his absence in
the east. After DR.. Bresee's preaching
there is no other pastor that can wholly
fill his place, and his sermon yesterday
was doubly appreciated.

Rev. j. S. Dill, pastor of the Central
Baptist church, addressed the Y. M. G.
A. mems meeting at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He took for his subject
Gods Word Light, and spoke in
his usual able and convincing manner.

Rev. F. E. Mason, G. S. D., of Brook
lyn, N. Y, addressed another large au-
dience in illinois hall last evening upon
the subject of Christian science. He
took for his subject Christian Science
versus Orthodoxy, explaining the points
of issue between these religious beliefs.
He said: "Christian science is the i'm
maculate conception because it repu-
dates the things of time and sense.
The evidence of the five senses is falla-
cious, hence they are not of God, for He
could create nothing which bears NO
testimony of himself. Orthodoxy be-
lieves and teaches the power Of both
good and evil, which constitutes a king
dom divided against itself and vitiates
its power of spirituality. Goodness is
supreme. Evil is but negative state
which is annulled by the understanding
of the truth. Sickness, sin and death
are abnormal conditions which right
understanding of God destroys. They
are unknown to Him for He is too
pure to behold iniquity.' They are but
human verdicts and will cease when the
human concept has been changed for the
divine"

IN LOVE WITH DEATH.
Remarkable Story of Suicidal Mania
in Family.
From the Ne,o York World.

From the NelC York World.
An excited young man. carrying an in~
FAINT in his arms and leading another by
the hand, attracted considerable attention
ON Belmont avenue, Newark, yesterday
morning by his peculiar conduct. From an
early hour until IL o'clock he strobe fever
ishly up and down the pavement until the
appearance of q young woman brought him
20 an abrupt halt.
The tired child at the young mans side
shouted mamma" aud rushed into its
mothers arms, while the young man, with
tears streaming down his cheeks, threw his
disengaged arm around the woman and
kissed her passionately.
Tell me why you tried to take your own
life, pleaded the young man.
Il will never tell you, George; cannot E"
Repeated and urgent appeals failed to
elicit an answer to the question, and the
young man led his companion into the
double frame dwelling at No. 225 Belmont
avenue, where he resides.
The circumstances of this case are pecu-
liar. Early Tuesday night a young Ger
man entered the Fourth precinct police sta
ton and, saying that his name was George
Krauter, stated that his wife had taken
poison. The ambulance was at once sent to
the house and the young wife, who ao-
knowledged that she had soaked the con-
tents of seventeen boxes of sulphur matches
In water and had drunk the decoction, was
removed to the German hospital, where her
condition was alarming. Heroic treatment,
however, was resorted to and the womans
life was saved.
She refused to give a reason for her rash
act, and this morning when she was dis
charged as cured and again met her hus,
baud she still refused to divulge her secret
The couple were married four months ago,
Mrs krauter. although but "A years of age,
then being a widow with two children
The neighbors assert that their lives were
remarkably happy, and that no reason was
apparent for the wifes attempt at self
destruction.
A singular fact in connection with
Mrs. Krauter's attempt on her life is that
her first husbands father, John Huber, shot
himself through the head three years ago,
and that her first husband, John Huber, Jr. -,
killed himself with the same weapon while
seated in a window with his child in his
arms. Two years ago her husbands mother
was shot and seriously wounded by her own
brother-in-law, and the latter, it is alleged
is now serving a term in state prison.

lead. He followed it up, and finally con-
Ironted Belden with the statement that he
knew his secret and that q concealment of
tne truth would no longer be allowed. Then
beiden broke down and made the following
remarkable confession, which is given in
his own language:
In the afternoon of Dec. 81, 1889. l bor-
roWed Winchester rife from nv uncle,
Charles hawey, and started out in the hope
OF meeting some small game. 1 walked over
20 GTant's place, and together we discussed
the trade we were about to make. Grant told
me tnat II | would 60 with him he would
snow me the boundary line between his
claim and the one owned by Foster.
WHILE WE WERE WALKING
along this boundary line Foster came up,
ana IN a few minutes the two men were
quarreling. | endeavored to stop them,
put was unable to do Sd, as they were both
hot-headed and the quarrel was an old one.
FINALLY Foster began to abuse Grant, and
the latter jumped TO his feet and declared
ne would whip his opponent. Quick as a
thought Foster snatched the Winchester
from my hands, and in another minute a
shot mad been fired and Grant lay dead at
our feet.
81 was Mortified at the tragedy, but at
once decided to protect Foster Together
we buried the body and disposed Of the
evidences Of the crime. In all this the
Hswleys knew nothing of the terrible affair
"A few days later Foster and | went to
Guthrie, and he passed himself off there as
Grant and issued to me the REIMBURSEMENT.
perjured myself when l swore in court
that | forged the signature, but it was
done to shield my friend. l would have
died willingly to shield him, but as the
truth is now known make this statement
II had nothing against Grant, and would
now die if he could be restored to life. As
God is my judge, however, have not his
blood on my hands. Foster, too, was very
sorry after the deed was done"
THIS CONFESSION
was fully corroborated by a number of
at1davits from people living in the neigh
borhood where the crime was committed.
As soon as suspicion rested on Foster many
things were remembered which go to prove
his guilt. 1t was established that he had
personated Grant at Guthrie, and to make
things binding Foster disappeared as soon
as he learned that he was suspected. With
one Of his neighbors he left partial con-
fession of the crime.
Armed with affidavits Attorney Meme
chan hurried to Cape May, where he held a
consultation with the President. A COM
mutation was at once granted, and the au-
thorities were ordered to retain Belden at
Wichita pending further investigation.
That a free and full pardon will soon be
issued to Belden there can be no doubt His
only crime seems to have been perjury, and
for that he has sufficiently suffered.

shouts of the men on the barges and in the
stores who are handling the merchandise.
The cranes haul up huge bales and boxes to

journey is ended. The passengers push their
way through a surging crowd upon the

Miller came to Washington about six
months ago. He brought letters of intro
duction to Count Mitkiewicz from a syndi-
cate of Pittsburg capitalists. who have vast
landed estates in Fauquier county, Va. The
two became fast friends. Miller was fre~
quently at the counts house. There he met
Miss Mosby, between whom and the
Countess Mitkiewicz an intimacy exists
which dates from their school days. Miller
seems to have been deeply enamored Of Miss
MosbY, and in time an engagement of mar
riage was formed between them.
Beverly Mosby returned home several
weeks ago and was informed of his sisters
approaching marriage He naturally de-
sired to meet his prospective brother-iu-law
and look him over. The meeting was not
satisfactory to Mosby, who formed preju-
dice against Miller. He attempted to dis
suade his sister from keeping the engage
menr. She objected. Her brother asked
her what she knew of Miller She replied
that she knew nothing beyond what she had
seen Of him, but that sac believed him TO
be gentleman and that she proposed mar
rYin9 him

MILLER TAKES FLIGHT.

McsbY meanwhile consulted with his
friends as to the course he ought to pursue
in the matter His own purpose. as he ex
pressed it, was to kill Miller, for he believed
that the latter was deliberately plotting the
ruin of his sister, and he felt that In no other
way could the disgrace of another bigamous
marriage be prevented. He was finally ad-
vised that the better plan would be a per-
sonal chastisement of Miller, and this he
determined to administer at the latter's own
rooms. He proceeded there with friend,
only to learn that Miller had left the city.
so Mr. MOsBY INTERVIEWS THE COUNT.
Furious with rage at the flight of his enc
my, he started down Fifteenth street in the
direction OF the avenue. He had gone but
a few steps when a carriage drove up, and
Count aud Countess Mitkiewicz alighted.
As they started to enter their house-it is
three doors south of Chamberlain's-they
recognized Mosby. He informed Count Nit
kiewicz that he desired a private conference
with him. After some parley they stepped
indoors, where Mosby at once upbraided
Mitkiewicz for bringing about the betrothal
of his sister and the counts friend.
Mosby believed that the count was famil-
lar with Miller's record, aud that he had
covertly influenced the alliance TO revenge
himself for certain reflections which Gen.
Mosby had cast upon him. During the col
loouy it was noticed that Mosby had not
moved his hat. The count told him that no
man could remain in his house with his hat
upon his head. Mosby, whose fury seems
10 have gotten the better Of politeness, de-
clined TO uncover, whereupon the count adj
vanced threateningly toward him. Mosby
stepped back, and, drawing a self-cocking
revolver, fired full at the counts chest.

OTHER pRAMArEs pERsoNE.

Beverly Mosby belongs to Virginia
family which has been famous in the history
Of that commonwealth since colonial days.
He is son of Gen. Mosby Of the confeder-
ate army, who represented this country as
consul at Canton, China, under the Cleve-
lanh regime. and who is now located in San
Francisco as the attorney for the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. Beverly is
about 30 years of age. He is "a bachelor =,
and, although resident of Warrenton, has
been absent from this locality for several
years.
His sister, Miss Stuart Mosby, is a tall =,
stately blonde with face rather intellect
ual than pretty, and a penchant for litera-
ture, i'll which field she has done some
rather clever work.
Miller's antec edents will appear later.
1t may be said in passing that they are
mslodorous in character and that they
furnish the groundwork for the dramatic
scene which SO nearly ended in tragedy.

HE IS DIsARMED.

His unsteady aim caused the bullet TO
lodge iu the wainscotting Of the parlor in
stead of In the counts body, and before he
could fire again he was seized by the counts
brother-in-law, Mr.. Hite, and disarmed.
The matter was subsequently settled to
the mutual satisfaction Of all concerned by
a written apology on Mosby's part. Count
and Countess Mitkiewicz left the city the
following day and are now spending the
heated term at a fashionable Virginia
mountain resort.
Miss Mosby is true to her lover. She re-
fuses to believe the stories about him and
insists that he is in every respect an hon
orable and upright man.
