HE INTERVIEWED THE POPE.
Csauncey Nj. Depew Talks Enter
tainingIy of His Visit.

New York, Dec. 24.-Chauncey M.
Depew, on his arrival from Europe
today, talked entertainingly to an AS
Rome st did Rome in four days."
said DR.. Depew, land wanted to see
the pope. but was told he gave no
private audiences; nevertheless re-
ceived a message he would see me the
next day at noon. AS / entered, the
pontiff arose, came half way across the
room, shook me cordially by the hand,
and requested me to be seated, and
then resumed the papal chair" Depew
said he found the pope vigorous and
strong in health with the vivacity of
fifty instead of eighty-f1ve. This was
specially noticed when his holiness was
discussing the question of the rights
of property and of labor When /
arose to 60" said Depew, che took my
hand and said he had the profoundest
respect and admiration and love for the
United States and wished | would tell
the American people he was much inn
pressed with the Worlds fair and had
done all he could to help it; that he
was much pleased and gratif1ed to
learn that / was always kind and con-
siderate for the employees of my COM
pany, and that 1 had never made any
distinction between those of the Catho-
lie faith and others. He also ex-
pressed qualification when I told him
of Archbishop Corrigan. Thus ended
for me one of the most pleasant meet
ings with one of the most remarkable
men of the age. The pope sent the
message to me but l received it when
could not return to the vatican. He
looks to Americans with more interest
and attention in view of the rapidly
increasing spread of socialism and has
theories as to her great faith of the
future"

A PANIC In PAR0WAN.
Christmas Festivities Interrupted by
an Accident.

Parowan, Utah, Dec. 24.--ISpecial l.
The Parowan meeting house vas
crowded last night with men, women
and children to with ess an interesting
programme of songs, rotations and
speeches concerning Santa Claus and
why we celebrate Christmas.
Two trees, loaded with a large va
riety of presents, and illuminated with
wax candles, set off the stage TO adj
vantage. and we tliyG5lt, to perfec-
ton, when Santa Claus, ROBBED i'll gay
colors, fringes ana ribbons, crowht d
with a turban and leading his snow
white wife, arrived on the scene.
Santa had scarcely finished his ora
ton to the little folks when Mrs. Sam
ia Claus, nearing the wax lights, took
fire, her robed trimmings burning like
so much powder. Santa fought hard
with his bare hands to quench the
flames, but he not being able to ar
rest their course other hands hurried
ly tore the cotton from her and in a
few minutes had itsput out; but the
young lady, Miss Ada Orion, was taken
home with her arms and face badly
burned.
The sight of the burning cotton scat
tered over the stage and the bright
ness of the trees caused the people to
rush toward the doors, tanning each
other a. good deal. A number OF Ia
dies tainted. In THE course, of the
evening the people BECAME somewhat
settled and Santa, changing his cos
tune to natural man, delivered his
pnesnts, although ii was impossible TO
expect order.
The lady is as well as can be exc
pected and will recover.

Green People.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 24.-Pas-
senger train No. 20 which pulled out
of the city late last night, northward,
was held up at Roscoe early this morn
ing. The train was stopped by two
men who covered the trainmen with
revclvers and blew open the door of
the express car, when the train was
allowed to proceed. 1t is claimed the
robbers got nothing with the exception
of SO taken from the engineer. as
they were unable to open the safe and
everything was locked up. 1t is be-
leved to be the work of green hands
who went from this city and returned
Immediately after the robbery This
evening an officer is working on clue
which promises to lead to the capture
One Of the robbers went out early this
evening with horses. and the other fol-
lowed on the train. The Southern

Sullivan, Ind, Dec. 24-William c..
Hultz. a prominent attorney and for
mer public prosecutor, was assassin
ated by mslSed MP this morning
The assassin encountered Hultz on the
street and fired pointblank with a
shotgun, wounding him in the right
shoulder. Hultz ran across the street
for refuge in a livery stable, and just
as he was in the door he received the
contents of the second barrel of the
shotgun in the back, dying in two or
three minutes.
He lived long enough, however, to
call out to a man in the stable that
he had been shot by Sam Willis. The
! assassination was not a matter Of
much surprise, owing to the fact of
intimacy between Hultz and the wife
of Willis. Three or four months ago
Willis lay in wait and found the couple
in a eliminating position at his house
He shot and wounded Hultz, but the
latter escaped and left town. A few
days ago he returned. About an hour
after the shooting Willis was met COM
ing into town by the constable and ar
rested. He claims he is innocent of
the shooting. Willis is eX-Sheriff of
the county and lives on a farm a mile
from town. He was divorced from his
wife soon after the first shooting of
Hultz, and then brought damage suit
against him. The suit has not yet
come to trial. Willis had refused the
offer of thousand dollars for a COM
promise, and had made threats to
finish HultZ.
When arrested this morning, Willis
took the matter coolly, saying it was
all news to him. The evidence col
lected during the day points strongly
towards him as the assassin.

No Sign of Intention.

New York, Dec 24-The Herald
prints the following: Montevideo, Dec.
24.-Advices from Rio say that Cen
eral Telles, who had one of his legs
shot off recently by the insurgents dur
ing the attack upon Governors island,
died today. Captain PiclSing's refusal
to give the American vessels in Rio
harbor all the protection they desired
from the rebel fire. while landing car
goes. is asserted by the aggrieved ship
masters to be virtual recognition of
the insurgents as belligerent and their
view is evidently shared by the Amer
lean merchants in the city. These per-
sons say Captain Picking's reports of
the situation TO Secretary of the Navy
Herbert have been SO vague as to be
absolutely misleading and they declare
firm stand taken just now by the
American naval officers here would be
of material aid in bringing about a sat
isfactory ending of the revolution.
