AN ANARCHIST ROUNDUP.

Wholesale Arrests by Previous Arrange
ment Made in Many French Cities.
PARIS, April 22-The police Of this city,
who arrested 45 Anarchists to-day, have not
been the only ones who have been on the
hunt. A large number of men in other
places, who are considered dangerous, are
now safely in Jail AT St. Etienne 30
Anarchists were arrested; at Dion, FIVE; at
Amiens, eight; at St. Quentin, ten, and st
Lyons, four. The combined action of the
Paris and provincial police in their search
for Anarchists to-day was arranged at q
special meeting summoned last night by NJ.
Loze, prefect of the Paris police. At this
meeting the commissioners of all the police
districts were handed warrants empowering
them to arrest all suspects in their several
Jurisdictions
The chief aim of the authorities was to
obtain thorough knowledge of the extent
of the Anarchist organization and to learn,
if possible, the manner in which the dyna-
mite cartridges were recently stolen from
Soissy and how they had been distributed.
This object was not attained, as q minute
search of the arrested Anarchists lodgings
failed to reveal any documents that would
throw light on the plans or actions of the
Anarchists

ROME, April 22-At the Vatican extra
ordinary Importance is being given to the
Pope's Episcopal Jubilee next year. The
Central Organizing Committee has already
received notice of thousands of gifts that
are to be sent. To collect all the donations,
more than 800 committees have been formed
in all parts of Christendom. It is believed
the presents will equal or, perhaps, exceed
those made on the occasion of his priestlv
jubilee, when they amounted to upward of
$4,000 900 in cash and $50, 600, 600 in other
presents.

paving their homage to His Holiness then.
Other important features of the celebration
will be a grand international pilgrimage in
February, 1898; the establishment in each
ecclesiastical province of an educational in
stitution in honor of Leo Kill; the crea-
tion in Rome of great institute of students
and the construction near the Vatican of

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

CLEVELAND, April 22-The Iron Trade
Reueo says OF business conditions this week:
Hopefulness is larger element in the iron
situation to-day than at any time in months
Added to the general fact that this is buy
ing time of the year, there are several spe-
cifc reasons for taking courage First, the
accumulation for pig iron has been checked,
and the days of Generalization from unpre-
cedented piling up of stocks are numbered;
second, the volume of business in all lines,
as shown in clearances and railroad earn
ings, is greater than last year.
Prices have not improved in the week, but
inquiries are more plentiful and buying
movement seems Just ahead. That the
docks will show scant stocks by May 1
would be of more import to ore men were
there any immediate prospect of sales. Nom
Bessemer transactions stand practically as
they did two months ago, constituting the
merest fractions of the sales SO far made
What sales there have been Of non-Besse-
mers were on last seasons basis, with the
increase in lake freights added.
Expectations were entertained earlier in
the season by Cleveland. capitalists engaged
in the Spanish-American mines in Cuba,
that they would ship ore to this country the
present season., Existing ocean freights will
permit of the delivery OF the Spanish-Ameri-
can output at tidewater at a price below
that of Lake Superior ore delivered at Cleve-
land: but, owing to the low state Of the ore
trade, the company has decided that it will
not ship to this country this season.
Furnacemen have had some opportunity
OF late to note how the decentralization in
their business is shared by their customers.
There has been the keenest competition for
work, and orders have never been placed at
foundries and machine shops at better
figures.

Got His Doctor to Make Him Very Sick, and
That Brought Consent.
Lieutenant Edmund L. Butts, of the
Twenty-frst Infantry, and Miss Wintred
Kimball, of Salt Lake, were married at
Salt Lake the other day. They had been man
and wife by virtue of Justice of the peace
in Sioux Falls since March 7. The second
ceremony was performed to satisfy the
Difference to religious forms.
Lieutenant Butts, while stationed at Fort
Douglass, Salt Lake, met Miss Kimball,
daughter of the late H. P. Kimball, prom
inent Mormon and capitalist, and grand
daughter of Heber G. Himball, Brigha m
Young's lieutenant. The family are firm
believers in Mormonism and cordial hate rs
of military men.
Miss Kimball was ordered to turn the
Lieutenant adrift when he began his court
ship; He was ordered to Sioux Falls to
establish a recruiting station. He induced
a friend to telegraph to Miss Kimball that
her lover was dying and that If she wished
to see him alive she must leave at once for
Sioux Falls. Miss Kimball came here ac-
companied by an uncle, C. s. KimbalI.
Before they arrived Lieutenant Butts
took DR.. William Moore, a college chum,
into his confidence, and the Doctor agreed
to make the Lieutenant sick. He succeeded
admirably, and when Miss Kimball and her
escort arrived the officer was apparently at
deaths door. Mr.. Kimball was assured by
DR.. Moore that the patient could not live;
the old gentleman relaxed his vigilance and
was taken out of town for several hours,
and the Lieutenant and Miss Kimball, with
Attorney Kirby and DR.. Moore as wit
nesses. went before Judge Hawkins and
were married. Several days later Mr. Kim
ball and his niece left for Salt Lake City.
The marriage was kept secret until the Sec
ond ceremony was performed.

AN EX-MANIAC DYING.

Tho Result OF IN ARRAY With His EN-
pIoyer, Who Pleads self-Defense.
NEW CASTLE, April 22.-[SpeciaL ]-Jor-
dan Main is dying tonight at his home in
the lower part of this county, and to-day
Coston Burns was arrested charged with as
saulting him. Burns is prominent farmer
of that section, and lately employed Main
on his farm. The latter is a powerfully
built man, and three years ago was taken to
the insane asylum, being released shortly
after, though it is claimed he never entirely
recovered.
To-day John Main, brother. entered in
formation against Burns, charging him with
assault with intent to kill. It is alleged
that while Jordan Main was using the road
scraper, something went wrong and the
scraper upset;that Burns seized a heavy club
and struck Jordan over the head several
times, infficting terrible injuries from which
he will likely die. Erysipelas has set in.
Farmer Burns to-day gave bail in the sum
of 81, 800 for hearing. He claims that
when he spoke to Main about upsetting the
scraper, the latter made for him with club,
and he feared for his life and in turn struck
Main in selEdefense.

WHAT IT REALLY IS.

The Most Dangerous OF Modern Disorder
Clearly Defined-Pneumonia and What
Causes 1t.
There has been great mistake as to what
pneumonia really is. People, and even some
physicians, have called it a dangerous dis
ease. Pneumonia is always an after effect.
If the system is run down, weakened, debil.
itated, if the life is at low ebb, the lungs
may fill up and the person die suddenly, and
it is called pneumonia. No man or woman
ever died of pneumonia when the body was
strong, vigorous and healthy. 1t comes upon
one when weakened by grip, by a severe
cold or overwork and a generally weakened
condition. Such being the case, how can
this dreadful trouble known as pneumonia
be prevented OF warded off? Manifestly by
strengthening and fortifying the body by
having the health and strength so secure
that pneumonia will not attack, OF if it
should, can easily be warded off. This can
be done by careful living, careful diet and q
moderate use of pure stimulant. To gently
thing that adds to the life and vigor. Moth
ing Tor this purpose can equal pure whiskey,
and it should be borne in mind that the only
pure and medicinal whiskey. which has re-
ceived the unqualified Endorsement OF ply
sicians and scientists is Duffy's Pure Malt.
1t is no ordinary whiskey, but possesses
properties known to no other article. 1t
will efectually ward of pneumonia and has
saved the lives Of thousands OF people. 1t
the only whiskey which can accomplish this,
and any druggist or grocer who seeks to con-
vince you TO the contrary is deceiving. In
sist upon having Duffys Pure Malt.

BADNESS IN BOSTON
To Be Luridly Exposed at Preacher
Downs Trial Next Week.
HE SAYS 1T WILL BE VERY SPICY,
As Lively a Church Scandal as Any Since
the Beecher Case.
4 FEW HINTS As TO THE TESTIMONY

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.]
BosToN, April 22.-Rev. W. W. Downs
is again before the courts, seeking to get
justice and $50, 900 for injury to his reputa-
tion and for being ousted from the pulpit of
the Bowdoin Square Church. The e1-
minister is now seeking to recover the
above amount from Joseph Story, George E.
Stakpole, Rufus K. Noyes, Sidney A. Will
Der, Fred j. Tabor, Abbie Campbell and
Alice Nepton, otherwise known as Alice
Watson.
This case has been dragging in the courts
for two years, being postponed from time to
time on one pretext or another. To-day
the plaintiff asked for further extension
Of time, but Judge Sherman refused to
grant the request. This was surprise to
everybody, for there are not many who
thought the case would ever be tried.
Lawyer w. H., Baker, forced unexpect-
edly to open the case, did so very briefly,
and then secured a postponement until
Monday. Next week the witnesses will be
examined, and the public will be regaled
with more 1racy developments than have
been heard in any church scandal since the
celebrated Beecher trial.
In his opening argument to-day, Lawyer
Baker stated to the jury that he should at
tempt to show that the Nepton woman was
hired by the defendants to swear that Rev.
Mr.. Downs was the father of her child; that
this was done by some of the defendants
who had money and who conspired to get
the pastor out of the pulpit, as he knew too
much about their transgressions.
This is but sample of the character of
the evidence which will be heard. Parson
Downs had two trunks filled with afidavits
and confessions which he says he will intro
duce. The exposures will make a tre-
mendous social upheaval, he says. He
estimates that he will expose a condition of
social impurity and immortality that will
astound the world.
The defendants deny all these charges,
and profess to have no fear of anything MI.
Downs may produce. The scandal which in
volved the fair name of Mrs. Fred T. Tabor
and that of Mr.. Downs has been frequently
aired, but his counsel claim that in none
of the court trials has Mr..
Downs had chance to tell
his story or to defend himself Now his
lawyer thinks the facts will come out, and it
is claimed that much Of the spiciest testi-
mony in this case will be entirely new to
the public. The defendants in the case
were prominently connected with the Bow
doin Square Church.

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

Catholics May Visit Rome, but They Must
Behave Themselves While There.
ROME, April 22.-The recent visit to
Paris at the same time of the French Am
bassadors accredited to the Quirinal and the
Vatican, has been subject of much COM
ment NJ. Billott has strongly represented
to his Government that public demonstra-
tions with banners and emblems that could
offend public sentiment would not again be
permitted in Italy. The French pilgrims
can come freely, but their enthusiasm must
be confined to the limits of the Vatican.
The French Ambassador to the Holy See,
just before leaving Rome. had a long con-
ference with the Pope, during which the
latter greatly dwelt upon the necessity of a
reconciliation between the Republic and
Roman Catholicism.
