Former Venezuelan OHcial Brought to
America by An American Vessel.
The Red steamship Philadelphia dropped
anchor off quarantine. Staten Island, at $50
o'clock last night. Among the passengers from
La Gusyra was Senior Mijares, lately governor
of the city Of Caracas, capital OF Venezuela
There's said to be a good chance that the
United States may be compelled to apologize to
Venezuela for the part that Minister Scruggs,
Consul Hanna and the Venezuelan agents OF the
Red D line took in and protected Senior Mijares
from arrest in the harbor of La Guayra on No.
vember 10.
Mijares was in exile. having fed from the
wrath of the new government a short time be-
fore Gen. Crespo's victorious entrance into
Caracas.
The Venezuelan authorities demanded that
Mijares be delivered over to them. Capt
Chambers replied that Miiares was a regular
passenger on board an American ship and was
therefore entitled to the protection of the
American flag.
The custom house refused to give UP the
ships registers and Consul Hanna, at La
Guayra, dispatched the vessel with consular
certificate.
The argument Of the Venezuelan govern
ment was that Mijares was not merely a polit-
ical refugee, who had the right to the protec-
ton Of any flag that would harbor MIN. but
was actually wanted on criminal charges. This
charge was in substance that Mijares, while
governor OF Caracas. had been guilty OF stealing
horses belonging TO private individuals.
Minister Scruggs commended the course
taken by Consul Hanna and refused to in
terfere

TO ESCORT THE PREsIDENT-ELECT.
That is What the Virginia Cavalry Hope to
DO Next March.


The Richmond State says: Col W. F. Wick
ham, commanding the first regiment cavalry
Virginia volunteers, intends to take his regi-
ment to Washington on the occasion of the
second Inauguration of Grover Cleveland as
President of the United States. The colonel
viii tender his command, which will number
probably $50 10 800 mounted men. as q special
escort of honor to the Presi1ent-elect on that
occasion. He hopes to make a display which
will be creditable to the regiment and be an
honor to the state.
The soldiery Of this state have always been
celebrated for their nobility and bravery, and
hsve held many positions of honor from the time
OF the revolution down. The cavalry arm Of the
service has ever been foremost, and Virginia
has cause today to be proud that she is the only
state in the Union that has an organized cav
airy regiment. Never before have the men had
an opportunity to perform so pleasant duty
as that which Col. Wickham hopes to SECURE for
them on March 4.
The governor was seen this morning by the
colonel and enters very heartily into the spirit
of the movement. He will use his influence to
get the cavalry ordered to the front. There
seems to be little doubt but that the wish of the
soldier boys will be cheerfully acceded to by
the committee Of arrangements for the inaugu-
ration, and will also doubtless meet the hearty
approval OF President-elect Cleveland.

A PECULIAR CASE.
Trial of Andrew G. MacRae for the Murder
of Annie Pritchard.

Trial of Andrew G. MacRae for the Murder
of Annie Pritchard.
The trial of Andrew George MacRae for the
murder of his paramour. Annie Pritchard, began
yesterday before the Northampton. England.
assizes. The case has caused much excitement.
and the court room was packed with people
eager to hear the details OF the crime.
The police theory is tina. MacRae, firing of
the woman fearing that his illicit relations
with her would reach the ears Of his family,
enticed her into his brothers warehouse in
Northampton and there murdered her and the
baby.
MacRae strenuously protests his innocence,
and claims that Annie Pritchard Is not dead, but
in Boston. Mass.
A peculiar feature of the case is that . Mrs.
lite. whose daughter formerly lived at ''the
Saracen Head" IN Northampton, persistently
asserted that The body was that of her daughter
hate, who disappeared from a servants home
in Edgeware road in July last. She identified
part Of the clothing found on the body ne hav-
ing belonged to her daughter A number of
persons believed that the murdered woman
might have been the daughter Of Mrs lite, but
short time ago the missing woman appeared
in Northampton and this removed all doubt in
the case

MARY wAsHINGroN's MONUMENT.
Opinion of the Virginia Supreme Court in
Well Known Case

Opinion of the Virginia Supreme Court in .
Well Known Case.
In the Virginia supreme court Of appeals at
Richmond yesterday Judge Fauntleroy de-
hvered an opinion in the Mary Washington
monument case from the circuit court Of
Spottsylyania in which that court was sus-
tanned. The style Of the suit was Colbert &
Kirtley agt. Shepherd. The plaintiff sued the
defendant for $40, 900 for al. alleged breach Of
contract. The declaration sets forth that the
defendant agreed to sell to the plaintiff o GER
tain lot of land near Fredericksburg, upon
which was the unfinished monument Of Mary
Washington, but when the amount was ten
dered Mr. Shepherd refused it. The case was
before the Fredericksburg courts and after
several trials finally went before a Jury in the
circuit court at Richmond. where verdict
WAS found for the defendant. With the other
papers fled was this note from Mr.. Shepherd:
II hereby agree TO give to Messrs J. ". Col
bert and W. +. Kirtley a sixty-day option on
the lot containing about two acres Of land,
with the Mary Washington monument and q
large marble shaft thereon. for the sum Of
$4,000" The defense argued that the contract
did not s.ipulate the selling Of the monument

REV. DIR. SMITH REPLIES.


u Caustic Rejoinder TO One of His Oppo-
nents.
At Yesterdays session Of the Cincinnati pres
bytery after Rev. DR.. Lowe had made an argu-
ment to sustain the sufHciency Of the indict-
ment charging Prof. Smith with heresy, the
latter arose to reply He said, with some feel
ing.
''If what is now charged against me by the
committee il to be taken as true then it is the
duty Of the house to declare me guilty, and to
not only depose me from my ministry, but to
excommunicate me from the church.
IF the committee make these charges, why
did they not put them in the Indictment? /
had thought that the development Of the Chris
tian graces>- mercy, kindness. charity, love and
the hke-were among the essentials Of Christian
life rather than an absolute uniformity of be-
lief IN the doctrines of the confession Of faith
II the committee Is right ought ~ be excom-
inundated, but let me say that such action will
ship Of the Presbyterian Church, including
many OF its most exemplary, faithful and pious
ministers. Did mistake the meaning of the
committee? he asked.
Dr.. Mckibben answered that the committee
had no thought Of charging him with a sin
against the church. DR.. loves argument
showed the logical consequence Of what was
considered to be the error Of Prof Smith.
Prof. Smith went on to say that the whole
tenor Of the argument indicated that the COM ,
nnittee proposed to make him moro guilty than
he had been charged. Subornation CT hypoc-
risy was the best name he could suggest for the
onense, which the committee made in one Of
it, charges.
The presbytery adjourned until Monday next.

sHERMAN's FOLLOWERS STIRRED UP.

Indignation Caused by q Labor Unions
Withholding the Monument of Tecnmseh.
I, There was "a sensation at the meeting Of the
Army Of the Tennessee at st. Louis yesterday.
Rev. Father Thomas E. Sherman, son Of the
general, was invited to address the gathering.
He turned his remarks to the monument which
the family is providing for the tomb Of the dead
general, the construction Of which is delayed
by the refusal OF the striking granite cutters al
Westerly, Conn.,, to allow it to be removed to
the west
In voice sad, but passionately indignant,
Father Sherman said:
Just about the time the work WAS finished q
strike occurred in the granite quarries in the
east. and the finished monument stands there
now, and there is no power in this country, in
state or nation, to move ito move that mon
ument from the hands Of the union"
feeling OF suppressed indignation swept
over the audience ano the son, with his arm
extended over the assembiage, his frame quiv-
ering with emotion, continued:
They will not consent to let us have 1t moved
and only know one way to get it-and that ia
to organize one Of his old regiments and go
there and take it by force. prolonged ap-
plause.l
do wish this society to know that it is not
any neglect Of his sons or his family. We owe it
to you, who belong to the same military family
to say that we have not been negligent for a
day, and that we feel sad and mortified that in
our country. which you have made so Free we
cannot even move our fathers tombstone from
the spot where these workmen hold it inclosed.
There ia power then even higher and
stronger than the power that you conquered,
and our generation has yet to meet the problem
Of conquering or at least subduing to law that
great power.
There was a dead silence for q moment rs the
speaker concluded, and then there was a burst
OF applause which swelled into . military cheer
for the spirited son Of the old commander
A member moved that the stenographer's re-
port Of Father Sherman's remarks be inscribed
in the record Of the proceedings, and few
minutes later a meeting Of the Sherman mon
ument committee" was called. What trans
pired at that meeting the events Of tho future
must tell, for its members are as mute as the
sent1nels OF accommodating army.
Officers for the ensuing year were elected as
follows: President, Gen. G. NJ. Dodge; record
ing secretary, Gen. c. Gable; corresponding
secretary, Gen. A. Hickenlooper; treasurer,
Gen. NJ. F. Force. Chicago was selected for
the next meeting.

A New York Justice Denounces the Case ms
the Worst Outrage in His Experience.
Park Policeman Michael F. Fallon Yesterday
arraigned Mrs. Lille T. Coleman of No. 119 East
41th street, New York, in court on charge
of disorderly conduct. The policeman ex-
planned that Mrs. Coleman had mnde an i'm
proper proposal to him last night while he
was walking along 9Th avenue. He did not go
into details and seemed anxious to be rid of the
matter.
Mrs. Coleman differed materially in appear
ance from the class into which the policeman
charge placed her. and Justice Kilbreth, after
glancing at her a second. asked her to tell her
story.
Mrs. Coleman said that Fallon had been an
noying her for four years with unwelcome at
tentions. Three months ago his actions became
unbearable, she says, ard she caused his arrest
and arraignment before Justice Duffy. He
then agreed to cease his annoyances and was
released with reprimand. She said that he
had been sending her letters of an indecent and
insulting character and frequently threate ned
that unless she agreed to his proposition he
would make her suffer.
Wednesday night Mrs. Coleman continued,
there was a ring at her door bell and she
started down stairs to answer it. In the lower
ball she recognized her visitor as the park po-
her room and ignore him. On second thought
she started for the street, and remarked to Fal
Ion as she passed that she intended to have his
prosecutions stopped for good. The policeman
followed her to the street. and she started for
the 5lst street police station where she intended
to enter complaint. As she turned into 5lst
street, Mrs. Coleman said, Fallon grasped her
and said he would prefer charge of disorderly
conduct against her in the station house if she
persisted. They entered together, and Fallon
told Sergt. Kelly that the woman was his pris-
oner, and that the charge was disorderly con-
duct. She was locked up almost immediately,
the sergeant ignoring her statement of the
facts. The letters referred to by Mrs. Coleman
wefe then handed over to the court
As Mrs. Coleman finished Justice Kilbreth
looked at Fallon and remarked: This is the
worst outrage / have known in all my expert
ence.''
Fallon admitted to the Justice that he had
been arrested as charged, and admitted writing
the letters, but said he lad no recollection Of
having mailed them. lie also admitted that he
wore neither uniform nor shield at the time of
tine arrest.
A charge Of perjury was drawn against the
policeman, and be was held in 81 900 bail for
examination. Fallon is thirty years Of age.

MITKIEwICZ RELEASED.
The Charge Or False Pretsnses Against Him
Not Proven.


Not Proven.
Count Eugene de Mitkiewicz, charged with
obtaining $4,000 from Attorney Arthur L..
Tones Of Brooklyn during a period Of two
years, by false pretenses, had hearing before
Justice Grady in the Tombs police court in
New York yesterday. The specific charge
against Mitkiewicz is that g year ago today he
got Mr.. Tones TO give q bill Of sale of his rcsi-
dence on Classon avenue to Gee. W. Goodward
Of the Home Benefit Association for the consid-
Grafton Of 81, $50, which he turned over to the
count for furthering the counts scheme Of pro-
curing railroad concessions from the Chinese
government.
Tones was the first witness placed on the
stand He described the counts coming to him
and urging him to raise a little more money to
send to Millard Jouesin China for furthering the
plan Of gaining concessions from China and Sc
curing tho acceptance Of Henry ". Blair MS
United States minister to that country. The
count, he raid, gave him to understand that
Col shepard was backing the scheme, and
would be, in vague sort Of O way. security for
the loan. Later he received letter from the
count saying that the money would be repaid
Justice Grady discharged the count, saying
that the prosecution had not made out case
against him. To make out a case of larceny by
false pretense tho justice said il was necessary
a nature as to be reasonably creditable. When
the count told Tones that at the end of the
transactions, whether they were successful or
not, Col. Shepard would reimburse him for the
money advanced toward Jones expenses. it
should have occurred to Tones to ask whv the
colonel did not advance the expenses in the be-
ginning.
This decision Of the Justice affected the count
like magic. He jumped up and seized the hands
OF his attorneys. and, even in the exuberance Of
his JOY, grasped the hand of Col Shepard.
Attorney Brooke then ehowed the reporters a
long affidavit in which his client. Tones
charges Mitkiewicz With obtaining from him
S2l 900 on false representations.
Upon this affidavit" said the attorney, 1--WE
will secure warrant for Mtkiewcz's arrest
from the court Of general sessions. Hereafter
we do not intend to fool any more with the
police courts. By an agreement: with the at
torneys on the other side the count will be per-
mitted to return to Washington, as he came
here Of his own volition, and then the warrant
for his arrest will be obtained"
