them. The prisoners will not be given the
benefit of a civil law trial. They will be
arraigned before q court martial, and their
punishment will follow swift upon convic-
tion.
The attack made by the Anarchists was
commenced just as the people were leaving
the theaters, and was directed principally
toward that quarter of the city in which the
prison is situated The intention of the
Anarchists was to remove the prisoners.
The troops stationed at the prison made a
sortie, however, and repulsed the rioters,
while the gendarmes were routing
a number of scattered bands which
were creating disturbances in other
parts of the city. After a stubborn resis-
tance by the Anarchists three of their num-
Der were killed and 20 more or less Sc
riously wounded. An innocent spectator
was killed during the fight by an Anarchist
armed with scythe.
The audacity of the Anarchists, in attack
ing city where battalion of infantry and
regiment of cavalry are quartered, is re-
garded as alarming and inexplicable. De.
tachmentS of cavalry are in hot pursuit of
the fugitives, who are divided into two
bands. one fleeing in the direction Of
Lebrijo and the other toward ARGOS.

Another Preachers Doctrines Antagonistic
10 His Church's Teachings.
SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn, Jan. D
Henry E. Davies, pastor of the Green's
Farms Congregational Church. has been
requested to resign. Parson Davies was
ordained a preacher two years ago, and from
the time of his ordination has had charge of
the little church III Green's Farms. So
cially Mr.. Davies is called an all round
good fellow. He is popular with the young
people snd is always entertaining and in
teresting. The trouble originated with re-
cent sermons, in which it is claimed the
doctrines Of the Roman Catholic faith are
presented as the only true religion of the
Christian people, and the argument is made
that man is empowered by God to forgive
hfg brothers sins
Dissatisfaction at this construction of the
Bibles teachings began cropping out
month or more ago and developed into open
rebellion on Tuesday when, at meeting of
the society. resolutions were adopted TO the
effect that Mr.. Davies sermons were nnor-
thodox and that he must be made to answer
before the Prudential Committee In his own
defense Mr.. Davies claimed perfect willing
ness to submit his sermons to the Church
authorities and asked that r hearing in the
matter be had at once. "PatsOn Davies is
rapidly becoming an atheist" said prom
1nent member of the church this afternoon,
land 1 can see no excuse for him, unless it
is that he IS insane. His sermons are Just
the reverse of what we have been taught to
expect and we have decided that we must
have a change"

Curious Suit Brought by New York French
Horn Player.

Curious Suit Brought by New York French
Horn Player.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Felix Nickel, q
French horn player, valued his ability to
pucker up his lips at just 5000, and be-
cause his lips will not puck as they used
he has sued Ries Bros, grocers, of First
avenue and Eighth street, for that sum.
OF the 1000 musicians in this city,
there are only 50 French horn PLAYERS,
as the French horn is a particularly difficult
instrument to play WELL. Mr.. Nickel until
last November was one of the best of the
35. He was an employe at Amberg's The
ater, and the sweet notes that he would
draw from his beloved horn pleased Leader
Nahan Franko of the orchestra nightly.
Mr.. Franko paid Mr.. Nickel S35 a week for
his services, and did not consider that he
paid anv too much for them.
On November, "a, as Nickel, with his
French horn under his arm, was crossing
Second avenue and Eighth street, Ries
Brothers grocery wagon ran into him and
knocked him down, and he was injured Sc
verely. He was taken to Bellevue Hospi-
tai, and the next day to his home, 182
Seventh street, where he was ill in
bed for a week. From being
a strong, hearty man before the
accident, he became the very reverse. When
he went back and took his seat in the
orchestra at Amberg's he found that his old
time skill had departed from him. His lips
would not pucker as he wished them to, and
the sweetness of his notes was gone. Try
as he would, he could not get the melody out
of his horn that he did before the accident
Leader Franko found fault with his play
ing, and from being highlv-prized mem
Der of the orchestra, Nickel soon be-
gan to be considered as of little value as a
musician. Leader Franko and several mu-
scians examined Nickel and his PLAYING,
and they said unanimously that he did not
play as melodiously as he did before the
accident. Mr.. Nickel then brought suit
againt the firm Of Ries Brothers for 81, 900.
The firm members are John F. and Herman
H. Ries. McAdam & McAdam, of Temple
Court are Nickel's LAWYERS.

A BIG FIGHT ON BUTTER.
PRODUCERS OF THE MATERIAL TO
ORGANIZE AGAINST oLEO.

Congress Will Be Asked to Act-Granges
and Alliances in the ovement-whole-
sale Prosecutions Promised-More I'm
portant Than Gold and Silver.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-The Dairy
mems Association has announced ito inten-
tion to make the fight against oleomargarine
national one Heretofore the great
strength of the association has been in this
State and city, and here most of the moves
against illegal butter men have enanated.
Included in the movement will be most of
the State Oranges and branches of the
Farmers Alliance throughout the Union.
Last year the dairymen expended over
50, 600 in their prosecutions, but it is esti-
mated that from this larger body from
S25 900 to $50, 900 will be subscribed to keep
up the sinews of war. The strength of the
newly-organized body is to be first used for
the purpose of securing national legislation.
Senator Hiscock has charge of bill giving
to the States the power to legislate against
the sale of oleo in original packages. The
verbiage of the measure is identical with
the Wilson liquor bill passed by the last
Congress, except that the word "oleomar-
garine" is substituted for the words "intox-
icating liquors. This bill was framed by
the legal advisers of the dairymen, and by
them it will be pushed.
AS the first step in the battle, petitions
have been sent, within few DAYS, all over
the country, through the agencies of the
newly organized association. These are
now pouring into the office of Attorney Lu-
fher S. Kaufman. filled with signers. So
asst are they coming in that the services of
number of clerks is necessary to handle
them. They are being arranged in Congress
sional districts for presentation. Early next
week Attorney Kaufman and President c.
F. Darlington will go to Washington and
endeavor to secure votes for the bill. The
petitions will be presented as soon as they
can be arranged 1t is estimated that there
will be over $4,000 signers. representing
almost every Congressional district in the
Union.
'The strength of this body can be esti-
mated when tell you that the annual out
bined output of gold and silver in this
country" said Mr.. Kaufman Yesterday.
''By actual figures the butter, milk and
cheese products for last year represented in
round numbers $3.50. 000, 900, while the COM
bined OUTPUT of gold and silver equaled
about S206, 100000 The dairy products of
the country would be dealt death blow if
the manufacture of oleo is allowed to
flourish, so there is ample reason to believe
that the country will act in a mass. As
soon as possible we. will begin series of
wholesale prosecutions in the other large
cities where the business has gained a foot
hold similar to those We have been max
ing here. With all this activity I think
that oleoniargarine will soon be unknown"

COVERED WITH A PAIL.

A Strange Fatality Hanging over Cincin-
natl Pln, ,houses-Death After Death
Reported Within a week-Each of the
Prominent Theaters Has Victim on
the List.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 9.-For the past few
days pail has rested over the theatrical
community in the city. Some strange
fatality seemed to be pursuing the profess
sion. The Museum, the Peoples and the
Grand had each suddenly and in quick sue
cession lost member of the troop under
engagement.
John Dietel, the fat man at the museum,
had succumbed to an attack of Ia grippe
after q very short illness. Then last Sat-
urday night Lizzie Smith, one of the bright
performer. at the Peoples, went to her
hotel, and next afternoon was corpse, an ac-
cidental overdose of drugs having caused her
death. The next night Mary Bird, of ga
Straight Tip" company. at the Grand: went
from, the theater to her room, and from
blazing perfume received injuries which re-
suited fatally in few hours.
These last two deaths in the theatrical
profession proper had especially filled the
more superstitious with forebodings. 'There
must be third" was the common re-
mark behind the scenes, and they wondered
to whom the summons would next
come When anybody complained of feel
ing badly it drew the comment, ''It is your
turn next" These half jesting, halt seri-
Gus remarks spread gloom in the crowd
back of the footlights, despite the forced
smile that invariably accompanied them.
The CONSERVATION can be imagined when
yesterday, during rehearsal at Havlin's,
one of the troupe rushed in and announced
that j. F. Dean, of the '.Old Homestead"
company, had suddenly breathed his last.
A similar scene followed few minutes
later at Heuck's, where the "Old Home
stead" was being rehearsed. Dean had
gone to his hotel the night before complain
ing of a cold, but no serious fears were en-
tertained, even yesterday morning, when
his condition required the services of doc
tor. The sad announcement came over the
telephone wire to the theater and caused
great shock to his fellow members of the
company.
The third victim had been claimed, but
was the charm broken? These fatalities
among the player-folk are being generally
discussed, especially among theater-goers
and professionals. II is wondered whether
the dark cloud was lowering over other
theaters.

Assistant rSecretary Nettleton, of the

MUSIC IN GERMANY.
Its Culture in a Large Measure Due to
Frederick the Great

ITS Culture in a Large Measure Due to
Frederick the Great.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
The musical culture of Germany is, in
great measure, due to Frederick the Great.
The military enterprises of this remarkable
man did not prevent his being interested in
many subjects of social importance to his
people. He was a musician, performer
upon the flute and other instruments, and as
he advanced in years he determined TO
secure as far as possible for his people the
advantages of thorough musical culture.
He therefore commanded that in every
parish school an in the public schools and
colleges regular weekly instructions should
be given in music, while special provision
was made for scholars who developed
unusual talent. The result was that all over
the kingdom instruction in music was given
and given well, and in less than 25
years innumerable small singing societies
sprung up in the country districts of
Prussia. The State assistance was continued,
and to the present day music is taught in
the German schools as result of Frederick's
flute playing.

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-[Speciaz Emma
Heyland, daughter of Herman Heyland, a
retired leather merchant, committed suicide
yesterday afternoon by hanging herself to
the door of her room in her fathers
house. She was only % old,
Her mind had been unbalanced
for long time, and she was subject to hal
lucinations. Last autumn she fancied she
had tumor, and to dispel the deldsion,
Drs Schneider and Grau pretended to
perform an operation for it's removal. After
making display of instruments they put
her under the influence of ether, and when
she had recovered from its effects she was
told the tumor had been removed.
The trick was successful. but her insanity
now took the form of melaneholia, and she
threatened to make away with herself to es-
cape from a life which she declared TO be un-
bearable. On one occasion she said to her
mother: 81 am going up to High bridge, to
do something desperate, this very day"
She continually read, with morbid inter-
est accounts of suicide and of tragfcal hap
penings, and her brooding over them is sup
posed to have caused the act.

the two soles, and hence it is worse in very
