RELIGIOUS POLITICS.
Tho american Protective Association Gre
ates IA Sensation In Denver

The -s:nerican Protective Association Gre
ates "A Sensation In Denver,
DENVER, Nov. 2.-The secretary of
the organization known as the Ameri-
can Protective association, which is
now demanding attention at the hands
of congress, has gained an unusually
strong foothold in Colorado during the
past two years. and is now making q
strong fight to gain control of the
states political organizations. This so
ciety is managed by the most fanatical
citizens, bordering on the red flag
order, and the most ignorant class Of
foreigners.
Its sole aim seems to be directed
against the Catholics and their friends.
But little attention was paid to its in
fluence until after the local conven-
tons We're held, six weeks ago, when it
was suddenly discovered that this soci-
ETY. had managed to secure nearly one
half the nominations on each ticket.
The people rebelled against this order
of things. The leading papers bolted
the tickets; political lines have been
wiped out, and the main object is now
to defeat this Objectionable society.
Some two years ago the present mayor
of this city, M. D. Vanhorn, became a
member of the society through mis-
representation. AS soon as he took the
Office he appointed Catholic as police
inspector.
The American Protective association
at once demanded the inspectors re-
moval, which was refused. The soci-
ETY. then met and adopted resolutions,
which, after denouncing Mr.. Vanhorn
as traitor and perjurer and declaring
his grave should be desecrated, and dis
honorably dismissing him from the
councils of the order. concluded with
denunciatorY resolutions.

Dynamite Placed In City Hall.

WHEELING, Nov. 2.-The atmospheric
conditions which are inhaming the
cranks of the country have struck this
city. Tuesday it was only good luck
that prevented two murders by this
class of usually "harmless lunatics. /.
Mag" Robinson, a negress, entered
DR.. Stillyard's Office and asked for
treatment. The doctor turned his
back, whereupon the woman drew a
Ratchet from under her cloak and
struck him on the head. Fortunately
it was a glancing blow and q lump like
a billiard ball was the result. The
doctor disarmed her and turned her
over to the police. She explained that
she was the spook of a woman the
doctor poisoned some two weeks before.
A week ago a dynamite cartridge
was found in the city hall and but for
the forethought of the janitor would
have blown the building sky high.
The police also arrested Geo. Moehl.
another harmless lunatic. Within a
week he has written every city and
county officer, pastor and several po-
] licemen, threatening all with death.
Rev. DR.. Swope yesterday received q
letter saying he could preach one more
sermon and if it was not satisfactory
the writer would blow the church up.
A letter to Officer Moran threatened
to cut his throat on sight. These let
tiers caused the arrest of a man prowl-
] ing about Moran's house. He will be
sent to the asylum.

THROUGH A DRAwBR1DaE.

An Electric Car Goes Into a River and
Twenty-Five Passengers Drowned.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2.-The worst
accident ever happened here on railroad
or streetcar lines occurred yesterday.
The electric car on the Oregon City
line, containing 80 passengers, fell
through an open drawbridge on Madi-
son street into Csrpin river.
AS far as known only five passengers
escaped. Why the drawbridge was
left open is mystery. There was q
dense fog which rendered it impossible
to see the people after the car reached
the water. Only one body recovered
