REV. W|GHT'S COUP D'EGL|SE.
1t Brings the Christian Church
Fight Into Court.
The Congregation Have Lost Their
Church but Want Furniture.
An Outgrowth of Fight Against Min
later Who lie Said TO Have Been
Naughty with Pretty
Women.

There was a suit filed in the police
court yesterday in the name of the Gem
trsl Christian church. to recover certain
goods from L. M. Anderson. The goods
are valued at $l32, and consist of chairs,
lamps, organ, hymn books and other
articles belonging to church.
This suit is the outgrowth of the recent
action OF Mr.. Anderson and other off,
GERS of the Christian church in moving
from Mr.. A. Z. Belle property, where
the congregation formerly worship ped.
The complainants allege that the
goods were the property of the Ladies'
Aid society. This is denied by MIR. An
derson and others, who claim that the
property was purchased by the congre-
cation, receipts being held for every
thing.
This is a further continuation OF the
Wight scandal, which has been Ie-
peatedly aired in the HERALD.
Wight, the former pastor of
the church, WAS accused of lewd con-
duct with some of the women OF the
congregation. He resigned and went
east. Since his return he has been
preaching in a hall near his former
church. Part OF the congregation
claiming to believe in his innocence
worshiped with him.
For the last two Sunday nights
Wight's supporters have endeavored to
take possession of the Central Church
building on West Fourteenth street,
near Main street. In both attempts
they failed.
Finally last Sunday evening Mr.. A. T.
Bell, the owner OF the building and one
of Wight's supporters, ordered the con-
gregation which rented the church to
get out, as he wanted it himself
The officers of the church complied
last week with Mr.. Bells demand by
moving the furtinure out, which Wight
and his friends srs now trying to re-
cover.

EXPORTS OF CELERY.
Santa Ana BECOMES the Depot for That
Broduct.

Santa Ana BECOMES the Depot for That
Product.
A gentleman from Santa Ana informs
this paper that the exports of celery from
that place average one carload of Is tons
day. The celery is grown on the black
peat in that vicinity, and is frequently
produced in trenches cut in between the
walnut trees, which gives vast increase
Of value to the black lands in that vicin-
ity.
Some of this celery farming is done by
Chinese labor, the pagans receiving
cent per bunch for each bunch produced
by them.
Most OF this celery goes to the cities of
the Mississippi valley, but San Francisco
takes q larger proportion of it than
would be at first imagined. Eighty dol
lars per acre is no extravsgant estimate
OF the yield of this delicious vegetable.

While the st. Louis concern is still publicly
and privately mis-stating the facts Throughout
the country, they are in Chicago occupying
the ludicreus position OF appealing to the ex-
position, and protesting In their appeal because
we have been accorded the highest award, to
which they say they are entitled. OF course
this appeal is conclusive evidence that they
have not got the highest award. The whole
object of their appeal is to destroy II possible,
the value of the award which has been ac-
corded to US, by raising objections Therefore

knowing that PABsT. MILWAUKEE beer leads

That Insurance Suit.

In the case OF F. Y. Eberly against
the Manhattan Life Insurance company
the suit is brought under the following
conditions: There are two claimants for
the money, and as they cannot settle
the matter satisfactorily between them,
the case has been brought into the courts
for adjustment. The company is ready
and willing to pay the claim as soon as
the court shall decide which has the
right to it, and said proceedings are
brought about by the company itself in
order to get the claim off their books.
The money has been in the San Francis
co Office of the company for the past
three months, and had there been no
dispute between those interested, would
have been paid long ago. Yours truly,
JOHN LANDERs, Manager,

THE STOCK MARKETS.

WALL STREET, June 9.-Highcr cables
from London and the statement that
American securities were in demand there
had good effect upon stocks at the open
ing, and prices advances 14@3 per cent.
Encouraging reports from the grain dis
tricts also stimulated the demand. The
improvement in stocks made further
progress after the opening, and prices adj
vanced 4@3t2 per cent. Purchases for
London account and a further decline in
the rates of sterling exchange mulated
the upward movement The rise, how
ever. induced realiZations, and reaction
of 1%@1 per cent. ensued. At II o'clock
the market was steady.
The notable advances Of the day were
the following: New Jersey, 4 per cent

preferred, 334 New York Central, 2; Mis-
souri, Pacific. =, to 361l; National Cordage
,; Chicago Gas. ~. Sugar, ~, and Gen
eral Electric, IA per cent.
During the afternoon, there was mod
crate reaction, but at the decline the mar
ket became dull AT the close a rally en-
sued and the market left off firm.

a BI OOEY RIOT.

ROMEO, His, June 9-Au encounter oc.
Cured between the strikers and the drain
age contractors about | o'clock this after
noon. One unknown man was killed, and
the following wounded:
Thomas Merika, shot in breast, will
probably die.
Anton Weshoski, shot in breast; fatally
injured.
Kesha Greghur, shot through abdomen;
may die.
Frank Blokeski, badly wounded.
Dan kesmusch, struck in head. &
Chemund Shotch, struck on head
Two or three others were slightly
wounded
The strikers came down from Lemont,
and, it is claimed, began firing on the con-
tractors and their men. All the wounded
men are strikers. The battle ground was
between Lockport and Lemont, where
over 2.000 quarrymen and drainage men
Were keeping about 500 men out of the
canal. \ sheriff. posse from Chicago
and a posse from Joliet have been there
since W eduesday. The order went out
last evening that the men in the camps
would have to go to work or get out The
contractors were already behind, and were
constantly being urged by the drainage
board to hurry up. Rnmors were current
Of scheme on hand to import 500 men
from the outside. This afternoon the
sheriff at Joliet received telegram from
Contractor Mccormick, at Lockport. saw
ing that army of men was marching
from Lockport to his camp and others
along the liue. Mr.. Mccormick had his
men armed with Winchesters, and their
orders were to shoot TO kill. The sheriff
at once began raising an additional posse
of fifty men to hurry To the place.
Later advices from the scene of the riot
this afternoon say that two strikers were
killed, twenty injured and thirty-two
taken prisoners.
At 1l:45 O'Clock tonight the governor
ordered the Second regiment and part of
Colonel Bennett regiment to report at
Lemont, near the scene of the trouble, at
once.
Ii is thought that military demoustra-
tiou would alone save life and property. as
the sherlHs posse seemed only 10 nggra-
vate the strikers. 1t was also thought that
another movement equaiing today's is
contemplated for tomorrow by the strikers.
The regiments ordered TO the scene consist
OF companies surrounding Chicago and
Joliet, and can be gotten together soon,
undoubtedly arriving in the morning. The
governor has ordered Adiutant General
Orendorf TO the scene OF action, and he
left Springfield on the midnight train
The strikers continue 70 bring wounded
into Lemont and II is feared that the list
of injured Is incomplete by several names
An armed guard is patrolliug the camp
tonight.

THE PENSION BOARDS.

WASHINGTON, June 9.--The question Of
recognizing the boards of pension examin-
ing surgeons throughout the country is
just now under consideration by Secretary
Hoke Smith, Commissioner Lochren and
Deputy Commissioner Murphy There are
1,2G0 of these boards, each containing 2
three members, and their work is IA very
important factor lI the administration of
the peusion laws and the adjudication Of
claims. Officials of the department state
that careful examinations have revealed
incompetence and gross careiessness in the
work of some Of these boards, and IN some
instances the evidence indicates that i'm
proper influences have been successfully
applied to secure reports in pension Gains
favorable to the applicants. In view of
these facts it has been decided to give this
branch of the service a general overhauling.
The active work OF reorganization Will
soon be begun.
