POSSIBLY TREASON.
Grave Charges Against Members OF the
American Protective Association.


American Protective Association.
BUFFALO, Nov. 29.-The grand jury
which meets here today will take up the
first of the conspiracy cases brought
against seventy-five citizens Of Buffalo,
members of the American Protective
Association.
All the accused are alleged to be mem
bers OF the American Protective Associa
tian, the anti Catholic secret society that
has lately taken root in Buffalo, just Us
it has in every large city in the country,
established several branches, and al
ready has a newspaper organ.
1t will be in the nature of test case
to obtain an opinion from the courts as
to whether this society comes within the
scope Of criminal conspiracy and its lit
erature under the ban Of the law as mat
ter tending to inclte riot.
The fundamental principle OF the order
is stated in the official literature of the
society in this language; "As all Cath
olics hold mental reservation in favor
OF the pope, while swearing allegiance to
the United States, these men should not
be permitted to hold any office within
the gift of the American people" Fur
thermore, the members pledge them
selves to give employment to no Catho
lice. and to refrain, as far as possible
from trading with them. This ia be-
lieved to be in violation of sub section 5
section 1913, chapter s, OF the laws of the
state of New York, which declares:
"lf two or more persons conspire tc
prevent another from exercising Lawful
trade or calling, or doing any Other
lawful act, by threats, intimidation, Oh
by interfering or threatening to interfere
with tools, implements or property, OF
anything whatever belonging to or useC
by another, such person is guilty of mis-
demeanor."
If it is possible, the graver crime Q
treason against the state will be proved
which offense is punishable by ten years
imprisonment. 1t is claimed that thu
American Protective Association "prim
err" the tracts entitled, what Is tip
and "Read and Reflect" and the ritua
of the order, can be considered matte
calculated to disturb the peace of thu
state and incite riot by appealing to 80
cal and religious prejudices and misrep
resenting the beliefs and principles of
large body of citizens.

A MIXED MARRIAGE,
A Texas Parson Who Had Too Many Jobs
and Got Them Tangled I'm.

A Texas Parson Who Had Too Many Jobs
and Got Them Tangled Up.
From Texas Siftings.
Parson Downycouch, of Cedarville,
Texas, ia not only given to absent-min
edness, but he is also addicted to over
stimulation; hence it is not strange that
he occasionally gets things mixed up.
Not long since he was called upon to
bury an inebriate, McGuzzle, at 2 o'clock
At 3 O'Clock he was to marry a couple
from the country, and he had an appoint
ment to meet Colonel Yerger and his
wife, with the view of bringing about a
reconciliation, they having had a serious
falling out.
In order to he equal to the emergency,
Parson Downycouch quaifed few flow
ing bowls hence when he stood at the
grave OF poor McGuzzle he became some
what confused, particularly as Colonel
Yerger and his wife happened to be
among the mourners. He also got the
idea into his head that he was perform
ing the marriage ceremony, which was
not to take place for an hour later. Rails
ing his hands solemnly over the sarcopt-
agus, Parson Downycouch said:
beloved bridal couple, you should re-
mem Der that this is sad and solemn
occasion, and, if not for your own sakes,
you should for the sake OF your children
here present, let bygcnes be bygonee
and love each other as in the days that
are past. hope the fair bride will never
become the victim of the Intoxicating
bowl; that she will love and cherish ia
sickness and in health the remains Of
this unfortunate man, which are about
to be consigned to the silent tomb. Let
us hope that the bridegroom will register
a solemn VOW never again to look upon
the wine when it is red, for it biteth like
a serpent and stingeth like an adder
And above all things, dearly beloved
would l admonish the silent form now
cold in death to remember the awful re
sponsibiities imposed upon him by tn.
marriage VOWS he is about to assume, 81
| now ask you, Colonel Yerger, will yot
take these sad remains to be your Lawful
welded wife, to love-"
The parson paused in his remarks, fo
a chunk of Texas limestone weighin,
about four pounds struck him in the
vicinity OF his equator, and while the re
mains of the inebrate were consigned t.
the grave the friends of the parsoI
iammed him into hack and hurried,
drove off.

Leading Representative Of the Race
Gather At CINCINNATI.

Leading Representatives of the Race
Gather At Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 2S.-The great
Get gathering Of colored men ever held in
the United States is that which opened
here today. The call for the gathering
was issued by Bishop Henry G. Turner
and three hundred other prominent col
ored men. The body is to form itself in
to national council which is to review
and pass upon our condition patiently,
impartially, and report truthfully our
knowledge Of every person murdered by
mobs. lynchers, and when and what for,
with documentary evidence, if possible,
for the use of the committee or commit
tees having such matters in hand"
The address is based on the "revolt-
ing, hideous, monstrous, unnatural, bru-
tai and shocking crimes charged upon us
daily ON the one hand, and the reign of
mobs, lynchers, fire tends, midnight and
midday assassins on the other, for the
purpose Of centranzing our sentiment and
unifying our endeavors for better condi-
tons in this country or as change of
base for existence.
The address states that no points-of-
order raisers, cheap notoriety seekers or
hot-headed squallers are wanted; that
who expects to occupy the floor is urged
to prepare his speech at home SO that he
cannot be misunderstood. The address
concludes: LET no one who uses ar
dent spirits dream of attending unless he
promises his God that he will not touch
the accursed cup while the council is in
session, for it will be no place for unbal-
anced men,"
The address concludes as follows:
Estates, communities or sections send
ing delegates, we hope will see that they
are amply supplied with funds to credit
ably meet their expenses and return
home like gentlemen at the close of the
session.
Bishop Turner is the oldest colored di-
vine in the country, and his speech call
ing the gathering to order was, like all
his efforts, truly eloquent aud forensic.
Charles W. Anderson, one of New YORK;
colored men Of note, represents the
North, while Robert H. Terrell, of Wash
ington, is another of the delegates and
speakers. He graduated from Harvard
with honorable mention in 1884, being
the first OF his race to represent the old
university as a comm encement orator.
He was an instructor in the colored high
school at Washington until 1889, when
he became chief OF navy pay division in
the treasury department by appoint
ment Of Secretary Window. Since the
incoming of the present administration
he has been engaged in the practice oil
law as the partner of the Hon. John +.
Lynch.

1t Requires Twenty eight Engineers to
Run the Flyer" from New York to
Chicago.
McClures Magazine for September.
So it results that twenty-eight en-
gineers, one at time, are required to
run this wonderful train from New York
to Chicago and back again. Fourteen
veterans drive the great engines one way j.,
and fourteen brother veterans drive them
the other. Twenty-eight men for a sin
gle complete trip of single train, and
ther the flower Of American engineers,
splendid fellows, every one of them, with
cool heads, staunch hearts and the ex-
perience of years at the throttle. The
fact is, these men of iron, who, after all
are made of flesh and blood, have been
called upon of late years to bear a mem
tai and physical strain which has in
creased steadily as the speed rates have
advanced. Forty. fifty, sixty, seventy,
and now eighty miles an hour, each
greater velocity has meant greater pres
sure, not only Oh the boilers and cylin-
ders, but on mems brains; has meant
greater expenditure, not only OF coal and
dollars, but of nerve force, until now
experts recognize with concern, that the
limit Of human endurance has been al
most reached. Science may remove the
mechanical difficulties in the way of run
ning hundred miles an hour, or mere,
for such a rate has already been pre-
dicted; money may buy better axles,
wheels, lubricators and machinery, but
where are the men who will run these
trains of the future when they are built ?
Can science breed us race of giants g.?
Can money purchase an immunity from
suffering or eyes that are indestructible ?
II twenty eight engineers are required
today on the Chicago flyer, how many,
pray, will be necessary on a train run
ming fifty or one hundred per cent faster I?

BISsELL's REPORT.
A Deficit of Nearly Seven Millions for
the Current Year.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 29.-Post-
master General BisselPs annual report
shows the deficiency for the year ending
June 80, 1898, was s5,l77,l7l. instead Of
81 ,552 ,423 as estimated by ex-Postmaster
General Wanamaker. Instead of sur
plus there will be deficit of s. $3.50 900
in the current year. The estimated gross
revenue for the year ending June &c.
1895, will be 1874 ,427 ,74S, and the expen-
ditures 800, 399, 4S5. There are now 610
free delivery offices in the United States
He suggests that postal notes be abol-
ished and the charges for money orders
reduced. The requirements of the rail-
way mail service will call for an increase
of 5000 to 1000 men. He recommends
an appropriation to provide for the wild
ows and orphans of railway mail clerks
killed while on duty. The department
last year carried 30l 100000 pounds of
second class matter, an increase of ii per
cent. The sale of Columbian postage
stamps is only 81 200, 900, instead of 50,
500 900 estimated by Wanamaker.
