REV. SIMON HARD PRESSED.
The Conference of NJ. e. Ministers Clearl!
Against the Ex-Evanselist.

The Conference of NJ. e. Ministers Clearly
Against the Ex-Evanselist.
PARKERsBURG, Sept. 19.-[ Special. 1-At
the conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church to-day the question "who remains
on trial?" was asked by the presiding officer,
and the name of Rev. Mr.. Simons was called.
But a short time ago Rev. Mr.. Simons was
prominent evangelist of this section, hold
ing nightly meetings, which were attended
by thousands, of whom hundreds were con-
verted. Since then, he has, according to the
allegations, been engaged in fraudulent bust
ness transactions and immoralities of baser
sort. Rev. S. F. Mallory, member of the
conference, Immediately moved that the case
of Rev. Simon be referred back, on the
grounds of immortality. Rev. 2. Meek, a
friend of the Rev. Simon, objected to the
attempt was made to read report of the Rev.
Simons' Sunday school work, which is said
to have been wonderfully successful.
The conference, however, was plainly
against Rev. Simon, and sat down upon the
reading of the report. A motion was then
made that Rev. Simon's character be passed,
which was lost in chorus of nays An
other motion that he be discontinued was
also lost. Then followed another scene.
Friends of the deposed minister rose in his
defense and were cried down by the opposi-
tion, and during the heat of debate some
very strong allegations and charges were
made and as promptly met with denial from
half dozen adherents of the minister on
trial. His friends fought hard for full
hearing, but when order was finally re-
stored the Conference, by a vote of Al ayes
to II nays, refused to pass his character and
referred his case back to the quarterly con-
ference for full investigation.

CARRIED OUT HIS THREAT.
Tho Awful Murder of a Woman by a De

The Awful Murder of Woman by a Des-
perado of Dayton.
DAYTON, Sept. 19.-[ Special Jake Har-
vey to-day shot and killed Mrs. Alice Leh-
man in low saloon. Harvey had threat
ened to kill the woman, whom he had dis
carded, because she had him put in the
station house. While in the station house
he picked the lock and escaped and had not
been heard of until to-day. Mrs. Lehman
was divorced from her husband and lived
with her children and supported them
Harvey lived with her for a year, and then
he wanted to get rid of the children. He
suggested the Reform farm and the Chill
dren's Home but could not get them placed.
Mrs. Lehman alleged that he undertook to
poison the children with bottle of lini-
ment. She refused to let them take the
stuff. A quarrel and fight resulted which
caused Harvey's arrest. Then he made his
threat.
On going into the saloon to-day Harvey
waited in a convenient spot until Mrs.
Lehman, who was handsome and attractive,
came down stairs. He seized her by the
arm, and, drawing her up to him, shot her
behind the right ear. She cried out, "Save
me" but Harvey dragged her out on the
sidewalk, and as she fell, fired another bull
let into her forehead, saying: "Now, take
that" The woman died instantly Har-
vey was arrested, and being interviewed in
prison, said: eyes, killed her, and 1 told
her I'd do it. 1 am only sorry didn't kill
the bartender" A lynching was narrowly

the Grand Trunk Railway and the Mayor
read an address. President Tyler made a
brief speech of acceptance. The company
with the Sarnia officials boarded the tram
and proceeded to the tunnel When they
arrived on the other side, they passed
through another triumphal arch. Mayor
Me1lwain and the Port Huron officials werB
waiting on the platform to receive them. A
large assemblage ofcitizens was also present.
As soon as the railway officials stepped
from the cars Port Huron's Mayor came to
the front and read an address At the
conclusion the Mayor presented Sir Henry
Tyler, with an engrOssed copy of the adj
dress, and Sir Henry responded with a neat
speech of thanks. The people cheered and
waved their handkerchiefs and the train
pulled out to the Chicago and Grand Trunk
passenger station, where all got off and
embarked on the steamer Omar D. Conger
for Sarnia.
The stops had been short at each place
and the guests arrived at the freight sheds,
which had been improvised into banquet
hall, shortly before o'clock. No one
would have suspected that the building was
an old freight shed. The exterior deceived
the eye by being almost covered with flags
and bunting until the bare rafters and ugly
walls were not to be seen. The floor was
covered with cloth and the snowy tables,
with gl1stening silver and rich floral pieces
On the east side were three long tables, the
guests facing the river

BONDING THE ITATA
So That the Vessel Can Be Released Until
the Case Is Called.

So That the Vessel Can Be Released Until
the Case Is Called.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-[6pecial THE
appointment of appraisers at San Diego.
CAL, to appraise the Chilean steamer Itata
was made so as to allow the owners or other
persons interested in her to furnish bond for
her appearance when the case against her
may be called for trial. The assent to this
course was given by Attorney General Mil
Ter. The vessel being bonded, her bonds
men will be responsible in the amount given
if the vessel should fail to turn up when
the trial begins, and the vessel in the mean
while can be used for some purpose instead
of being compelled to stay at her wharf
idle.
This is the rule followed by the courts in
admiralty cases, except when vessel is
seized for violation Of the neutrality laws,
when, if released, she could resume the
very work she was seized for attempting to
do. All these conditions having been
passed in the case of the Itata, owing to the
victory of the insurgent party in Chile,
there would not be any objections to a re-
lease of the vessel on bond. The bonding
OF the vessel as contemplated has no other
significance than that above indicated.

FOSTER STRIKES HARD.
A BIG FARNIING-oUT SCHEME IN THE
SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT.

Clerks Who Have Been Making . Fat

A Reform Under Way.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-[Specidl. 1-Sec-
retary Foster is striking terror to the hearts
OF the army of clerks in his department who
have for years been farming out their posi-
tions in official life. Shortly after Secre-
tary Foster became the head of the Treas
ury Department he asked the various chiefs
of divisions to supply him with list of
their employees. When he had these he
asked that check marks be made indicating
those on duty and the absent ones.
He was surprised to find that some of the
clerks had remained away for months over
time on one excuse and another. He found
that few had for years been at their desks
only periodically, filling their positions
with substitutes, whom they paid salaries
ranging from a half to two-thirds of the
gross salary paid to the position. He found
a gigantic "farming OUT custom confront
ing him, and he Immediately issued orders
to the chiefs to summon every man and
woman to his or her post under pain or i'm
mediate dismissal.
Among those who appeared to-day was
w. d. Blackburn, a clerk in the Sixth
Auditors office. Blackburn has been up
in PENNSYLVANIA for many months, running
a newspaper His absence was obtained by
leaves from time to time, vertigo being al
legged. He has made good profit by the
farming out of his clerkship. He has been
given till December 1, the limit of his last
leave, to get over his vertigo
A woman was found in the office of the
Comptroller of the Currency who has for
years spent much of her time in California,

of the time leaving it unoccupied, but al

THE CAHENSLY CASE.
THE INTERESTING SUBJECT AT THE
CATHOLIC CONGRESS.

1t Is TO Be Held at Buffalo This Week
Position OF the German Priests-some
Claim the: Idea is Un-American and
Others That 1t Is Disrupting.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 19.-The fifth
annual congress of the German speaking
Catholics, of "Katholiken tage," meets in
this city on Monday and will hold daily
sessions until the evening Of the oath. Last
year the congress was held in Pittsburg.
Special interest attaches to the Buffalo
congress because of the recent development
of the Cahensly case. A prominent priest
made the following statement to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter. He said:
''There are in the congress two different
sections. One is made up of priests and
laymen. Its sessions are public. The
object is the discussion of re-
ligious and politico-religious topics.
The other section is the "priester-verein," !"
or the German-American Clerical Union,
the sessions of which are held with closed
doors, the clergymen only being admitted.
This is the real congress. AS a matter Of
fact the 'priester-verein" was organized in
the spring of 1887 in Chicago. The first
general congress called by the "priester-
verein" was held in the fall of the same
year. The first call of the verein was
signed by German priest of st. Louis, the
same who in 1886 had sent petitions to
Rome asking for special recognition of the
German priests in America and who have
been since the active leaders in every move
ment calculated to promote the special or
ganization of the German Catholics.
MANY German Catholics look upon this
movement as ill-advised-as tending to mis-
understandings and divisions. The English
speaking Catholics declare that it is un-
American. 1t may be, in view of the re-
cent declaration of the Pope that the ap-
preaching congress may make public
declaration to disarm this criticism. -
In confirmation of this last statement of
the priest it may be mentioned that the
manager of the Associated Press has re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Cahensly, saying
that his object has been misunderstood and
that he would take occasion to more clearly
explain it. The Committee on Resolutions
will meet at 2:3O P. NJ. Monday. In the
evening there will be grand torchlight
procession. Tuesday morning the Ponti-
fetal mass will be celebrated at st. Joseph's
Cathedral. The sermon will be preached
by the Right Rev. Bishop Vardetti, of St.
Cloud, MINI.

LONDON, Sept. 19-Alexander JACQUES,
who undertook to fast for 30 days at the
Royal Aquarium, completed his task to-
day, although during the past week his con-
dition has caused much uneasiness to Drs
Robin and Whitemarsh, who have watched
him throughout. The bulletin issued at
noon to-day stated that during the past "a
hours Jacques had lost two pounds, leaving
his weight at ia pounds ounces, his total
loss being 2S pounds ounces.
As the time approached for the COM
plction of the fast the reception room in
which Jacques remained during the whole
of the time became crowded with specta-
tors. Jacques, who had been smoking
cigarettes during the latter part of the after
noon, appeared to be rather excited. The
cheering of the audience at o'clock an
nounced that the fast was over. Mr. Davis,
who had been the fasting mans lecturer
throughout the whole of the time, said that
jacques had accomplished the most STU
pendOus fast ever known, and it had proved
the great value of his herbal powder, the
secret of which he alone possessed.
His contention was that for armies cam
paigning through hostile country or of
men who had suffered shipwreck or met
with an accident where food was not pro-
durable, the powder would probably be the
means of sustaining life till help came
Jacques had been watched night and day
by doctors and by members of the press
and ne hoped that he had now proved to
the public without doubt that he was in
possession of secret which must prove
beneficial in all cases of emergency.
Jacques then arose and carried Kennedy.
