Another suspicious feature OF Italian
emigration has been the arrival at Naples
ofconsiderable numbers OF Sicilans, bound

A Roman gentleman informed Lon

hated and despised the Malta he recog-

tragedy would die by violence sooner or
later, though perhaps not for two or three
years. He said that this was the chief

The Citizens Of Denver Threatened by n
Dangerous Dam.

The Citizens Of Denver Threatened by n
Dangerous Dam.
DENVER, April 20.-A startling state OF
affairs was revealed Sunday at meeting
of farmers living along Cherry creek above
Denver. II WAS developed that Denver and
the residents Of the Cherry Creek valley
were threatened with a disaster similar TO
that which occurred at Johnstown, Pa,
two years ago, and the object OF the meet
ing was TO bring it to the notice OF the
people Of Denver. II seems that the Dem
YER Water Storage company has just fin
ished a reservoir thirty-five miles above
this city 60 supply water TO an immense
tract OF arid land Of which the company
has secured control.
The dam is sixty-five feet high and drains
300 square miles Of country, while the
capacity Of the reservoir Is many millions
OF gallons. The trend of the Cherry creek
basin is such that If the dam gave way tho
whole Of this immense quantity of water
would rush down on the city OF Denver,
entailing frightful loss Of life and prop
erty The homes Of hundreds OF ranch
men in the Cherry creek basin would also
be swept away, and the latter, therefore,
held an indignation meeting to see If any
thing can be done in the matter.
it was stated at the meeting that the
vast pressure Of water in the dam has al
ready forced several streams through it.
The farmers claim TO have dug down
and found that the dam was built upon
quicksand instead Of on bedrock They
also say that poor material was used in
the construction Of the dam.
irhA charges afedenied BY the company's
officers, who say that Si5O, ,0OU was & 'snded
upon the work and that ii was wen done.
IL is believed the matter win be brought
to the supreme court Immediately

the largest Of its denomination in Eliza
beth, rebelled Sunday against the new
pastor the Rev. j. II. johnson, Of Staple
ton, 5. l., who was sent there by the New
ark conference. AS a result there was no
sexton to ring the bell, no organist or
choir and only about thirty Of the church
members in attendance at the services.
The trustees and other officers Of the
church are in full sympathy with the re-
volt, and It is hard to tell how the matter
will end The last pastor was the Rev
William +. Simpson, of Columbia confer
ence, Oregon, who succeeded the Rev
Lewis X. Dunn. The Rev. Mr. Simpson
was finishing a theological course. He be-
came very popular with the parishioners
who petitioned the bishop and the presid-
ing elder, the Rev DR.. Brice, to let Mr.
Simpson remain.
They declined, however, 70 transfer him
to the Newark conference, and sent the
Rev. Mr.. johnson TO supercede him. This
act aroused intense feeling in the church
against the bishop and elder, which found
expression Sunday, the new pastor being
made the innocent victim of the congrega-
tion's wrath. They have no fault to find
with Mr.. johnson, however.

The Mayor called the meeting to order,
aud opened the proceedings by saying
that he was not ready at that tine to pro-
coed with the Investigation. He thought
that if charges were preferred the proper
way TO proceed was to lay the matter be-
fore the Board of Health. At any rate, it
might be just as well to let the matter
drop for awhile. He did not see any use
III having discussion at this meeting
Sanitary Inspector Starr said he was
prepared with nine witnesses to answer
any charges that might be preferred, and
he hoped the Mayor would make them.
The Mayor said he had no charges to
present to the board, and nothing 10 say
M present, and he thought a motion TO
adjourn the meeting would be in order.
Trustee Conlllin moved that the entire
matter be referred TO the Board Of Health.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he wanted
10 hear the charges read. The Mayor
had made damaging statements against
an official of the city, and a meeting had
been called for the purpose of investi-
eating those charges. He wanted to hear
what they We're, and to either eXonerate
the ottlcer or hOId llm TO account.
Trustee Conklin insisted that his mo-

The High School Board of Lompoc,
Santa Barbara County, recently elected
Professor A. NJ. Henderson as Principal
of the High School there. Professor
Henderson is a graduate of the High
School of this city, and also of the State
University. Referring to his election,
the Lompoc Record says:
Professor Henderson comes most
highly recommended for his moral and
scholastic worth by Horace Davis, former
President of the University; Professor
Joseph La Conte, and four other Pro-
fessors of that institution; also from the
Rev. Arthur Crosby, President of the
Board of Directors Of Mount Tamalpais
College, in which Professor Henderson
taught during portion of lS90-9l.
''All things considered, the board has
perhaps done wisely in selecting Mr.
Henderson from among the many able
applicants. He comes with full knowl-
edge of what is absolutely requisite to the
establishment of a first-elass high school,
such as the law contemplates, and such
as the people desire. Our High School
will rank first Ia the county, as none will
have Principal more thoroughly quail

BUFFALO BOTTLES.
Wisseman Had Some-Stein and Hirsch
Discharged.


The Buffalo Brewing Company is max
ing it warm for certain dealers who have
been in the habit of using the company's
patent-stopper bottles. Another search
warrant was put into operation yester-
day, and George Wisseman's place on
Fourth street was searched. a number
of the bottles were found there with for
eign labels pasted over the Buffalo Com
pany's mark.
S. Stein and NJ. Hirsch, the junk-deal-
ers who were arrested last week for buy
ing the bottles, were yesterday dis
charged by Justice Henry at the request
of Mr.. Heilbron, President of the Buffalo
Brewing Company. The latter explained
that there was no desire to prosecute
Stein and Hirsch, but the company pro-
posed to let them know that they must
obey the law.
Constable Brissel placed Wisseman un-
der arrest last evening. He also searched
i. Blauth's place on X street, and finding
some of the bottles there with foreign
labels pasted over the Buffalo trademark,
arrested the proprietor.
