He Refuses to Give Information Re-
Quired by an Ohio Law.
TOLEDO. o.. May 2s.-To-day the grand
jury indicted Rev. Father Quigley, priest
of st. Frances de Sales Catholic church, for
refusing to comply with the state law res
quiring all parochial and private schools to
report the names of their pupils, with their
attendanoes, 10 the board of education.
This law was passed two years ago aud is
amendatory to the compulsory education
law. The various parochial schools COM
piled except DIR. Quigleys. After Intellectual
efforts to obtain his report suit was
brought. The verdict was against Dr..
Quigley, but he took the case 10 the state
supreme court, Hon. Frank Hurd being his
attorney. Two week ago that tribunal rem
dered decision adverse to the doctor, and
maintaining the ocnstitutionality of the
law. Last week the proper official again
applied for the report and DR.. Quigley
again refused. The matter was brought
before the grand jury, which brought in a
true bill. The law imposes a maximum
fine of $500 and costs. The outcome of the
struggle is awaited with great interest

strewn with debris. from end to end. Il is
almost a miracle that more lives were not

at was genuine cyclone, and wherever
it struck nothing was able to withstand its
terrible force. Its point OF origin seems to
have been just west Of Crystal Springs In
its course il struck that village and COM
pletely demolished 1t. No definite
news of loss OF life, IL there was
any, has been received here, as all
communication by wire was cut off. The
| relief train that proceeded to Harper from
| here went on TO Crystal Springs and may
return tonight with details of the storm.
In the meantime nothing is known Of the
disaster there excepting the mere fact that
the town was demolished.
From Crystal Springs the storm
swept with terrible force over the
country in the direction of Har-
per, carrying everything before it.
Many barns and farm houses were blown
down, but it is not known that any lives
were lost.
"In the town of Harper the destruction is
! almost complete. Only two houses in the
center Of the town remain uninjured aud
| hundreds OF residences were wrecked. The
list of killed is J. l.. Stainbar, crushed in the
fall of his house; the wife and child of
James Gallagher, a farmer; child of
Grant Tomlin; William Stevenson, neck
broken; Mrs. Frank Tomlin.
The Harper normal and high schools
were completely wrecked, and the Hutchin~
son and Southern and Santa Fe stations
were demolished. The Pattison house was
unroofed. II it had been demolished the
loss of life would have been terrible, for
the guests were numerous. The First Ma
| tioual bankis complete loss. Rothwell's
opera house was blown over and is totally
wrecked. The total loss aggregates about
$500, 900, on which there is less than 1000
cyclone insurance.

per and five at Argonia compose the list of
known victims In the towns, while from the
country districts come reports of sir killed,
making total Of thirty-three dear. The
list will probably be largely added to.
AT Rego the storm took the nature Of a
waterspout. No details of the damage done
in that town have been received. and it is
not known whether any lives have been
lost. The storm showed many strange
| freaks.
At Wellington the Episcopal church was
burned, while the Lutheran church was
turned upside down on its roof.

DR.. BRIGGS AND THE oAURoR.

The Appeal Against the Action of the
New York Presbytery Sustained,
PORTLAND, ORE, May 2s.--The week and
Briggs case has ended tegsther, 80 far as
the general assembly 10 concerned. BY a
vote which, under the law of the church is
to be reckoned as 429 to $40, the appeal
against the action of the presbytery OF New
York In dismIssinR the case has been sns-
tained In whole or in part. Final action is
deferred till Monday, but the action then will
be only formal, es the constitution pre-
soribes whatit shall be. The papers In the
case will be sent back TO the presbytery and
1t will be ordered to proceed with the trial
which 1t was voted 10 discontinue. The
most lively contest of the day was over
allowing the members of the presbytery Of
New York, who were not commissioners
to speak in defense of the action of the pres
bytery. The significance of the deciding
vote by which this was allowed is in fact
that 1t establishes precedent in the practice
of the church.
THE VOTING.
When the vote was reached the first speci-
fication under the first ground of appeal was
sustained by viva voce vote. From this ac
ton two members protested. Reading of the
specification and voting continued through
out the six grounds Of appeal with their
twenty-five specifications, covering four-
teen octave pages Of ordinary
print. Each specification was sustained
apparently by about the same votes.
Upon thelfinal question the yeas and nays.
were called and the vote was announced as
follows: Sustain as O whole, 302; sustain in
part. 1877; not to sustain, 81; total vote, sic.
AS soon as the vote was announced Judge
Sayler moved resolution Of the purport as
follows:
WHEREAS. The appeal in this case has been
sustained by this assembly.
ResotUed That the verdict Of the presbytery
Of New York be reversed in all particulars, and
Res1lUed, That all papers in the caSc be re-.
turned to the stated clerk of that presbytery
and that the presbytery be and hereby is or
dered to proceed to tbs trial of the case upon
its merits
This resolution was referred to commit
tee consisting of Judge Ewing Of Pittsburg,
Jndge Sayler Of Indiana, DR. Juncken Of
Philadelphia, DIR. Moffatt of Washington
and Jefferson College and DR.. Alexander of
San Francisco, for the purpose Of putting it
in proper legal form, with instructions to
report it at the opening Of the session on
Monday morning next. The assembly then
adjourned.

THREE MASKED BANDITS
Hold Up q Ps.vsnger Train on the North
ern Pacific Near Hot Springs.

ern Facinc Near not SprtnRs.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 90. - Three
masked men held up the overland west
bound express on the Northern Pacific
road near Hot Springs, They boarded
the Pullman sleeper Madena and robbed
all of the occupants, six in number. 1t
Is believed the robbers boarded the train
at Hot Springs, as the train had not got
FIVE miles cut of the city when they in.
vaded the sleeper from the rear.
The first passenger held up was F. r,
Miller, of Portland, Or, who was in the
smoking compartment. The robbers
took $40 in money and his gold watch,
and then, at the point of their revolvers,
Miller was marched through the car
ahead of them. One of the robbers
went to the other end of the car, the
other two guarding the end where they
came in All wore dark clothes and
overcoats, SLOUGH hats, and had handker-
chiefs tied over their faces, holes being
cut in the handkerchiefs so they could
see. After Miller was robbed they
placed revolvers at the heads Of the
passengers, commanding them to hold
, up their hands, The command was
! oSeyea.
AS the frightened passen gers stood up
! and We're being robbed, one by one, },
! S, Freedman, OF Portland, Or, came in
| from an adjoining car. Not complying
with the order to throw up his hands,
| the robber nearest to him shot through
! the side of the car. Freedman at once
| handed over his valuables. There We're
several women with their children in
! the car. These the robbers did not
| molest, telling them to keep quiet and
they would not be harmed. They kept
! quiet,
After all the passengers in the car had
| been stripped of all money and valu-
ables the robbers pulled the bell cord,
| giving the rope signal to stop. The
train stopped, and the robbers, after
| giving the signal to 90 ahead, jumped
| off. They fed to the woods, after firing
q fusillade, and disappeared. The total
| amount of money taken was 81 200, in
| addition to gold watches, diamonds and
! other valuables worth much more. The
| list of the robbed is:
Pullman Conductor E. Z. Heg, Of
Portland, $50 and gold watch S. J. Free
man, $l00 and gold watch Sam Oehner
| $10j; II. Guimare between $500 and ST.
600, the proceeds of mine claims sale;
| L. H. Miller, $40 and iewelry; Conductor
Wiley, of st. Paul, $50. From the fact
that therobbers gave correct train signals
it is believed they were railroad men.
| There is no clew, however. The robbery
is regarded as one of the best planned
and executed that has occurred in the
west.

A Productive Sermon.
try

Canon rFieming's sermon, which he
preached at Sandringham on the death
of Prince Albert Victor, has had the
most extraordinary sale of any sermon
in recent times. The profit during the
short period of six months amounted to
no less than Sc, 500, of which the sum
of SO, $50 was given by the Princess Of
Wales to the Gordon Boys Home"
and So, $50 to the British Home for In
curables." Over so, 900 copies were sold
at that time-a sale certainly unprece-
dented in the annals of profit from a
single sermon of few pages.
