The pope also speaks in most bitter terms
OF he treatment received by the pilgrims
during their visit to this city. He says:
Neither the laws Of hospitality nor their
Innocence shielded them from being treated
like enemie4. After these events, which
have 50 seri )usly impaired the ancient
reputation OF Italians for courtesy and
urbanityy it is evident that the hatred OF
our adversaries increases daily. Whatever
the nature Of the hyDocritical devices EN-

coming across the water and Mr.. Wise told you
that sound moves slowly. But Mr.. Evans, q
naval officer of experience. was sitting in an
open dory on the beach and saw the whole
affair within hundred feet of him, and We are
told he must have made some glowing errors.
Evans saw Hains pick up his coat from the
bottom OF the boat and then go back to scull-
ing. Sometime later he saw him shoot. Ac-
cording to Hams story he picked up the coat
while his friend was drawing in his oar. Do you
think he leaned forward and placed his head
near the deadly oar rs he says he thought it was
in the hands OF his dearest friend? 1t was not
that way. 1t was as Mr.. Evans told you. Would
you shoot your bosom friend in such a man
ner2 Would you not rather have
taken your chances Of a blow from
an unwieldly oar than kill your best
friend? Those two shots we're the shots of a
murderer. One shot might have been n shot in
self defense, but two. never! He says that
young man, that he was SO unnerved, knew not
what he did and fired two shots in his excite
ment
That man unnerved and excited? Why he
was cool enough upon the witness stand to
correct the s,onographer. In all the years Of
my experience bave never seen another SO
cool"
The defense have made much Of the fact that
Commander Evans, Frank Evans and Col. Bird
did not realize that tragedy had been COM
mitted, but thought 1t was all piece of sky
larking. Gentlemen, that is the best proof that
has yet been brought forward to show that
murder had been done.

steps of about dozen business places on the
avenue, making the property almost worthless.
Ten cars of gravel were left on the track.
The trouble grew out Of the business places
asking the board Of health to compel the rail-
road to fill in the swamp in the rear, which
it owns and which has become a nuisance.
The railroad owns both the front and rear
Of the business houses, some Of which are built
partly on railroad property. The company

He Couldn't Give Up the Races and Retires
From the Church.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA special dispatch from
Grand Rapids says: Upon recommendation Of
the Michigan Methodist conference Bishop
Newman admonishcd the Rev. ]. W. Arney
to wean himself Of his fondness fol
horses, but the erring brother does
not take it kindly. He resents the
humiliation and gives every indication OF kick
ing over the traces. He openly and freely dis
cusses the situation and calls attention to the
weakness of some Of the brethren in the same
direction. He says he came to the conference
conscious of no violation Of either morality or
propriety and proud of his past labors.
His congregation wants him to return, and
one Of his parishioners. offers to pay his whole
salary if he will come back. He says he has no
apology to make nor excuses to OFFER and
when he returns home he will continue to
work and drive his horses. He does not enter
tain any feeling Of bitterness against
any Of the brethren, but he does
recall that the Rev. ]. A. sprague. who is one
OF his chief accusers, is riding in the same boat
with himself, but has not the manliness to con-
fess. The Rev. Mr.. Sprague, he declares
attended the races at Three Rivers the same
time he did, and when he passed the box office
going into the races he handed his ticket to q
good deacon in Sprague's church.
The Rev. DIR. Cogshall, who also took q lead
ing part in the persecution, says Brother
Arney used to keep sorrel nag at Eaton Rapids
which was put on tho track as O flyer, but
which was not much of q success because its
owner did not know how to develop its speed.
Tho trouble with DR.. Cogshali 10 that he IL
not bright enough to make money on his
horses, as have done. He IL probably dis
couraged with the business and has gone back
on it, 10 the way Brother Arney expresses 1t.
Brother Arney may possibly be called to the
front again tomorrow, and 1t II possible he
