SALVATION ARMY BATTLE.
Attacked by Howling Mobilize Army
Battles Bravely and Receivers It's Flag

Attacked by n Howling Mobilize Army
Battles Bravely and Receivers It's Flag.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Salvation Army
has for some time had quite fight on
its hands with the town authorities of
Eastbourne, situated at the extreme end
Of the British Channel, and yesterday
there was lively row.
The Easthourne contingent of the
army yesterday was divided into four
sections, which were stationed in diff
ferent parts OF the town. Prior to going
to their posts each soldier signified his
or her willingness to 60 to prison if this
was necessary to uphold what they be-
lieved to be their rights
The police were determined that the
Salyationists should not hold their meet
ings on the streets, and in attempting to
disperse the various sections of the army
there was considerable hustling. The
Salvationists finally retired, however,
but in the afternoon 60 of them again
sailed from their barracks and pro-
ceeded to the beach, followed by an i'm
mense crowd, which menaced them with
all manner of ill-treatment.
PRAYING WITH ARMS LINKED.
Once upon the beach the Salvation
lists knelt down on the sands in PRAYER.
AS they cid so they linked their arms
the better to repel the assaults of the
irreligious mob should the latter take
it into their heads to charge upon them
while at their devotions.
As the Salvationists prayed the mob
hooted and yelled, and finally made an
ugly rush upon the praying band. Some
OF the latter were thrown to the ground,
but they Immediately resumed their
kneeling position and continued their
praying.
TIE MOB swooPED DOWN.
As soon as the praying Yves concluded
the Salvationists rose to their feet. This
seemed to be the signal for precon-
certed attack, for the mob Immediately
swooped down on the devoted band
scattering them in wild disorder. Many
OF them were struck, kicked and other
wise ill-treated.
The musical instruments used by the
Salvationists were seized by the mob,
who, after smashing them out of shape,
threw them into the sea.
At this point of the disturbance a
detachment of mounted police charged

airy, tranpling the rowdies, male and
female alike, under the feet of their
horses.
The Salyationists declare that the
police, instead Of protecting them, DELHI
erately struck them and rode over them,
Their clothes were torn and their hats
were lost.
A number Of women lost their skirts
and jackets in the wild rush following
the charge Of the police, those garments
being torn off them in the desperate
struggle to escape being trampled upon
by the horses.
FIGHTING FOR THEIR FLAG.
During the melee the standard Of the
Salvation Army fell into the hands Of
the enemy. Some of the Salvationists
charged upon the mob to regain their
flag, and fierce fight ensued. Finally,
however, the Salvationists regalned
their standard, and, under rain OF
blows, formed in regular lines, and, sur
rounded by police, marched back to
their barracks.

dispatches from here stating three pris-
oners had been shot in New Lardo this
week. Some surprise has been expressed
at the large numbers of strange Mexi-
cans who have arrived on the streets of
Laredo in the past "a hours, and the i'm
preston obtained that they were por-
ton of Garza's men who have been dis
persed by Captain Hardie and troops in
the present pursuit they have kept up
against portion of Garza's force for
the past week.
The hardships now to be endured by
the United States troops operating in
the jungles of the lower Rio Grande can
best be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that in this particular section of
the country no rain has fallen of conse-
quence for the last 10 months, and all
the rations used by the horses have to be
carried in carts down the Garlic from
Laredo, and then carried on pack mules
along the trails. The cavalry has to
follow through the dense brush. 1t is
even necessary to haul water, and the
soldiers now ordered to the front will
have fearful time of it even if there is
no fighting done.

THE MONAGHANMYSTERY.
Cablegram That Perplexes tho Missing
Jawycr,s Friends

WEST CHESTER, Dec. 3l,-To-day James
Monaghan, brother Of the missing lawyer,
Y. Jones Monaghan, received from Mr..
Wharton, assistant secretary Of state at
Washington, cablegram from the United
States consul at Sydney Australia, which
read as follows:
Monaghan entirely we'll. Will return
in three MONTHS
This message seems to both mystify and
disappoint his family and friends, as they
do not understand why there is not some
thing more explicit as to his being
"entireiy well, and they had fully ex-
pected that he would have sailed on last
Monday for home, upon receipt OF their
cable OF Saturday evening preceding which
sent to him $500. as per his request by
cablegram of two weeks ago.
Acting upon some new suspicious and
theories, his brother to-day telegraphed
MT. Munrton at Washington to ascertain
by cable. without delay whether or not
Jones had been fully identified and also If
the money had been paid to him, and a
reply to this inquiry is expected tomorrow.
1t is now thought that the letter referred
To- II the mysterious 20 Berne'' cablcgram
OF December 9th may have been mailed at
Melbourne which, If true, will not reach
here before the middle of January. The
Sydney mail of November Both has
reached New York, and letters to parties
here have been received, but there is moth
ing for the Monaghan people.
The situation is now more perplexing
than at any time since Mr.. Monaghan left
N september, and his law partner, Mr.. j.
+. iause, declares that he is unable to
further form any PLAUSIBLE theory regard
ing the strange going away of his partner
and the mysteries which cluster about the
sydney cablegrams.

selfish aims of our minister to Chilli and

that our naval officers had had their

with Judge Achsson concurring, to-day
rendered an important decision which
is Of interest to every bank deposi.or in
the country. 1t appears that Mr..
George W. Clothier, a depositor of the
Keystone National Bank when the
doors of that institution closed, had on
deposit over $1,100. Previously the
bank discounted two notes for him ae.
gregating $3.50, which notes did not ma
ture until after the doors were closed.
Mr. Clothier claimed to set off the $500
which he owed the bank against the
banks Indebtedness to him on deposit
This claim was refused by Receiver
lardley, who brought suit on the notes
The case was argued on the questions
OF law. The United States courts in
Ohio and Missouri had previously de-
clared that claim of set-off of this ma
t1re could not be sustained. But the
United States court here to-day came to
q contrary conclusion and sustained Mr..
glothiers claim and entered Judgment
for him.
