Two neighboring Yorkshire rectors
recently exchanged pulpits on Sunday
morning. Both gentlemen are IN the
habit of preaching sermon from
the collection of some noted divine
when a week passes without their
writing sermon, which is quite often
the case. They defend their practice
in this respect alleging first, that the
sermons so borrowed are much better
than any they could write and second
ly, that the few peasants in smock
froc&s who attend service never under
stand the sermon anyhow, and in fact
would suspect their rector OF heresy il
they did understand him. On the day
in question it happened that they both
decided 10 use the same sermon from
Blair's collection for the morning ex-
change, and on thinking the matter
over they both concluded that il
wouldn't be worth while TO prepare n
sermon for the second service. The
result of all this, of course, was, that
the same sermon of Blair's was preach
cd twice in each church. though not
one in either church discovered the

SANTIAGO, Nov. 26.-All the members
of the Cabinet of the late President Balma-
ceda and number of other Chileans who
held high official positions in the over
thrown Government, will be tried for in
fraction of the Constitution and for the
malversation of funds. If they are found
guilty they will be compelled to repay to
the extent of their means all the national
funds illegally expended. In all 20 men
will be tried on these charges.
In recent interview Senior Matte, one of
the leading men of Chile, who was at one

Is Held for Court
Frederick J. Stevens, the Oakland young
man whose arrest for maltreating and ap-
parent attempt to murder his wife was pub
lished yesterday. was given a hearing be-
fore Magistrate Hyndman yesterday morn
ing.
Prior to the hearing Stevens begged and
entreated the officers at the Fourteenth
ward station to send for Chief Brown or
Superintendent Weir, as he desired them
to fix up compromise with his wife.
When this failed he wept bitterly. His
generally dudish appearance was considera-
bly, marred by his Imprisonment, and when
led into the Magistrate's room for hearing
his usually Independent air had been SUBJ
dued into semblance of contrition.
He did not look at his wife for some time,
but finally turned toward her as if to sup
plicate her intercession, but she looked
away and paid no attention to him.
Mrs. Stevens testified TO his abuse of and
threats to kill her and related the story of
his assault on Tuesday morning, her evidence
being corroborated by Mrs. Springer, who
witnessed the affair Mrs Stevens had
other witnesses to prove previous abuse and
threats t. kill, but the magistrate decided
further evidence unnecessary and committed

CAUGHT FIVE HIGHWAYMEN.

A Gang of Desperadoes Captured in the
West End-Some Of Them Believed to
BE Escaped Convic.s-They Are Identi-
fed as Footpads.
Captain Stewart, of the Southside, has
confined in the Thirty-sixth ward police
station five men whom he thinks will turn
out to be gang of desperadoes.
Yesterday it was reported to Sergeant
McCurry at the police station that crowd
of highwaymen were actively engaged in
robbing people who walked along the Lake
Erie Railroad at the mouth of Sawmiu run.
The Sergeant, accompanied by Officers P.
Kelly and Poland, went to the scene at
once and found eight men and boy acting
very suspiciously. They undertook to
arrest all of them, but two showed fight and
while the officers were wrestling with them
three men and the boy got away.
The five were finally lodged in the
police station. They gave their
names ard residences as Henry
Williamson of Boston, Mass. Thomas Clark
of Danville, Pa; James Mclaughlin, Of
McKeesport; James Jaminson If Dayton,
o.; and John Williams of Pittsburg. The
men named tell nothing about themselves
and talked to the police very impudently.
Shortly after their arrest became noised
about three or four people called at the
station house and said they had been held
up by the men. They refused to give their
names, but promised Captain Stewart that
they would appear at the police station this
morning.
Captain Stewart thought there was more
than this in the matter, and began looking
up evidence against the men. He sue
ceeded in learning that conductor on one
of the CHARTERS Railroad trains had been
held up and robbed of considerable sum
of money by men answering the description
of one or two of those under arrest. The
conductor lives just beyond the city limits,
and an officer was sent after him to have
him present at the police station this morn
ing.
Captain Stewart ordered the men to be
carefully searched but nothing could be
found on them to lead to their identified
tion.
Williamson and Clark each had a large
sore on one of their arms, which was made
by an attempt to dsface figure made by in
delible or India ink. The figures are not all
gone but are scored enough so they cannot
be made out.
Captain Stewart in speaking of the matter
said the prisoners were the hardest looking
lot OF men he had ever seen, and the attempt
of two of them to do away with marks of
identification leads him to suspect that they
are escaped convicts.
The men will be kept at the police station
for few days in the hope that those who
escaped will be captured.

The Six Foot Statesman From Ohio Says
No to Cleveland.
General A. J. Warner, the Democratic
giant of Ohio, went through Pittsburg last
night to Washington. His big, massive
figure attracted considerable attention from
Union depot loungers as he strode up and
down the platform. He is Democrat of
cut-and-dried order, and his views are forci-
BILE and pointed. He is against Cleveland
for the next Presidential nominee of the
Democratic party, and thinks that German
would be q stronger man.
'"The platform is too inconsistent" said
he, ''as it is now interpreted. How can you
expect to make fight on the tariff reform
issue as Cleveland advocates it and also at
the same time ask for free silver, and some
of the important points laid down in the
Mills bill? 1t is inconsistent and for that
reason am not for Grover Cleveland"
The General thought that Crisp would be
the next Speaker, and Foraker ought to
carry off the Senatorial honors.

DR.. G. G. REIMER DEAD.
One of East Liberty's Famous Land
Holders Passes Away.
COME OF REVOLUTIONARY STOCK.
He Is Said to Fave Forgotten Some Of His
Relatives in His Will.
WAS ONCE A Noted LOCAL PHYSICIAN

DR.. George G. Reimer, an old, well
known and highly respected resident of the
East End, died at his residence, Park ave-
nue. and Auburn street, at o'clock yester-
day morning. He was 66 years of age. His
death was rather unexpected, as until few
days ago he was active, in good spirits and
in possession of all his faculties. He was a
remarkably well-preserved man for his
years, but about year ago suffered an at
tack of paralysis, which, while apparently
only temporary in its effects, is thought to
have produced dropscal condition which
resulted in death.
DR.. Reimer came of Revolutionary stock.
His father moved from Lancaster county to
Pittsburg in 1917, settling on a small farm
in what is now East Liberty, the family res
idence being located at the corner of what is
now Penn and Sheridan avenues The farm
covered many acres of what is to-day the
most valuable property in the East End,
lying north of Penn avenue, and the bulk
of it is still owned by his heirs DR..
Reimer was the youngest of family of six
children, three sons and three daughters.
One brother, Andrew, survives him. Two
of his sisters, Mrs. John Diller, and Mrs
DR.. A. w. Ewing, of Beaver Falls, and his
brother, Aaron, have died within four
years.

Shores Of Lake.
BOSTON, Nov 26.-[Sp IA most i'm
portant historical and geological discovery
has been made by John Fl. Sears, of the Pea
body Academy of Science (Salemat). North
Beverly. The Salem Water Board has been
cleaning the shores of Wenham lake, in
North Beverly. the past week. Mr.. Sears
made careful study of the section, the wa
ter being very low, and near the southern
end he found iron ore and smelted iron in
considerable quantities On examining the
locality he found that hog iron had been
mined and used. The evidence was conclu-
siye, and the discovery is a surprise to the
local historians, the scientists and the oldest
inhabitants.
1t has long been we'll known that iron
was mined in Saugus about 1643 (the first in
America), and in Rowley, and some pros
pecting was done in the section of Beverly,
known as Montserrat, but no one ever knew
before that iron was ever found at North
Beverly. There were settlements here very
early-probably not later than 1640. 1t
has been we'll known that the water along
the shores of the lake was very brackish
from the large quantity of iron in the soil,
but nothing more substantial has been
known. The question now is when were
the iron works in operation in North Bev-
erly?

Thomas Coffin, who is Media man,
dined the eleven at his mothers home on
Hiland avenue after the game yesterday.
This was highly appreciated.
Swithin c. Shortlidge, the proprietor of
the Media Academy, is an enthusiast
and promoter of field sports. He
took championship prize in
boxing at Harvard when a college man, and
his physical training still shows itself in
his we'll preserved physical makeup. Speak
ing of sports in colleges, Prof. Shortlidge
said:
"MyoO years experience and observations
in colleges and schools force me to believe
that field sports is conducive both to
physical and moral development of
young men,. They keep them from
indulging in excesses which naturally
would throw themselves in their way if
otherwise engaged. Some parents objected
to it, saying that sports as we take them
mean great deal more than the boys
would have their parents believe. To this
I take exception. If the young men are
not engaged in innocent sport they will en-
gage in something harmful. And find, ~
continued the Professor. "that the athletes
and boys inclined to athletics are Just as high
up in their studies as are the sedentary and
| studious ones. This is demonstrated by the
statistics, which show that the colleges of
the country have much better standard in
every way than they had ten years ago. I
attribute very much of this to the interest
taken by the faculties in physical develop
ment. A good, popular, leading athlete
has more control over a college mans dis
position and temperament than dozen
faculties.
Prof. Shortlidge and his men went home
last night not daunted by defeat asserting
that they could beat the Gyms, and only
awaited telegram, as stated above.
