Bishop Dubs' Claim to Supremacy In the
Evangelical Church Denied by the nii-
nois supreme Court
CHICAGO, April L-Bishop Rudolph
Dubs' claim TO supremacy in the Evan
gelical church was denied by the su-
preme court of Illinois yesterday. For
four years past the affairs of the church
have been before the courts and this
decision will, II Is said, affect about q
hundred cases now pending in various
states
Some time ago Bishop Dubs appointed
Rev Mr.. Husser as pastor of St Johns
Evangelical church in this city Bishop
Esher appointed Rev. Schweikert TO the
same charge. Both pastors attempted
to take possession Of the church and
Mr. Schweilser sought the aid Of the
courts. An injunction was granted
against the Dubs faction and this In.
junction was affirmed by the supreme
court Friday.
The dissension grew out Of charges
OF immortality preferred against Bishop
Dubs, which caused him to sccede from
the old organization and establish q
new one. II is understood that 100, 900
members Of the evangelical church In
this country follow Bishop Dubs and
that the fight will be continued.

Important Decision Affecting Pension At
torneys-They WIN Get But % Where
They Formerly Received 61O-Omcial
Changes In the Treasury Department
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Assistant Sec
retary Bussey yesterday rendered an
important decision in the matter Of
the claim OF Joseph p. Smith for an in
crease of pension on the ground of new
disabilities, in which he overrules the
action Of the commissioner of pensions
in allowing an attorneys fee of $40.
The claim for increase was made under
the act of June 81, 1890, aud the assist
ant secretary holds that all such claims
should be treated as strictly increase
claims, whether new disabilities are
claimed or not, for which fee OF only
s2 can be allowed. 1t is said that prob
ably 5000 claims will be affected by
this decision.
Secretary Carlisle was busy Friday,
it being the last of the month, In max

partment He called for the resigna.

which he had heard so much, would
have impressed Courtland; now he was
only interested in 1t on account of the
inconeeivable position in which it left
Miss Sally. Had she anything to do,
with this baleful cousins return--or
was she only to be q helpless victim of
1t?
A white, dazzling and bewildering
fash Of lightning suddenly lit up the
room, the porch, the dripping ailnntus
and the flooded street beyond. 1t was
followed presently by a crash OF thun-
der, with what seemed to be second
fainter flash Of lightning, or rather as
If the first flash had suddenly ignited
some infammable substance. With the
long reverberation of the thunder still
shaking the house, Courtland slipped
quickly out Of the window and passed
down to the gate.
"Did It strike anything, sah?' said the
startled negro, as Courtland returned.

''It must have struck somewhere, sab,

right here" said the negro as he left the
room.
Courtland thought so too, but it was
q kind Of sulphur that he had smelt
before-on the battle feld For, when
the door was closed behind his over
seer, he took the lamp to the opposite
wall and examined it carefully. There
was the distinct hole made by bullet
which had missed Cato's head at the
open window by an inch.

gloomily, but respectfully, by the win

"Cato, do you know anything Of Mr..

The negro's white teeth suddenly

to the quarters, but for the moment
was the most exposed course; to follow
the hedge to the bottom Of the field and
the boundary fence and then cross at
right angles, In its shadow, would be
safer, but they would lose valuable
time. Believing that Cato's vengeful
assailant was still lowering near with
his comrades, Courtland cast quick
glance down the shadowy line of Usage

grasped his arm and pointed in the

only by bright, silver openings and
gaps along its surface that indicated
the moonlit field beyond. At first
CORTLAND saw nothing else. Then he
was struck by the fact that these open
ings became successfully and regularly
eclipsed as with the passing Of some
opaque objects behind them. 1t was a
file of men on the other side of the
fence, keeping in its shelter as they
crossed the field towards his house.
Roughly calculating from the passing
dissertations, there must have been
twelve or fifteen in all
He could no longer doubt their COM
bined intentions, nor hesitate how to
meet 1t. lie must at once make for the
quarters with Cato, even II he had TO
cross that open field before them. He
knew that they would avoid injuring
him personally, in the fear of possible
federal and political complications, and
he resolved to use that fear to insure
Cato's safety. Placing his hands on
the negro's shoulder, he showed him
forward, falling into clock step" so
close behind him that It became Inn
impossible for the most expert marks
man TO fire at one without imperiling
the others life. When half way across
the field he noticed that the shadows
seen through the openings Of the fence
had paused. The ambushed men had
evidently seen the double apparition,
understood II, and, as he expected,
dared not fire. He reached the other
side with Cato in safety, but not before
he saw the fateful shadows again NOV
ing, and this time the other way,
They were evidently intending 70
follow the fugitives. But once within
the woods Courtland knew that his
chances were equal He breathed more
freely. Cato, not less agitated, had
even regained something of his former
emotional combativeness, which Court.
land had checked. Although fur from
confident of his henchman's prowess In
an emergency, the prospect Of getting
him safe into the quarters seemed
brighter
II was necessary also TO trust TO his
superior woodcraft and knowledge OF
the locality, and Courtland, still walk
ing between him and his pursuers and
covering his retreat, allowed him To
lead the way. 1t lay over ground that
was beginning to slope gently; the un-
derbrush was presently exchanged for
springy moss; the character OF the

ner Of the biggest scandal in the Gus

Puget Sound was the seizure of the
Cinnamon on the Haytien Republic in
Portland few days ago This seizure
Of Cinnamon for being Illegally in the
country was an important matter in
itself, especially as the removal of two
local customs inspectors followed.
This, however, is but the beginning Of
the end. Within few days it will be
shown that the owners of this steamer
were in collusion with high officials Of
the treasury department carrying on o
gigantic smuggling business The last
time the Haytien Republic was In Van
couver she was fined $500 for taking
opium out Of Canada without its having
been entered on her invoices
Upon the steamers arrival on this
side Of the line there is no record that
even pound Of the opium she carried
paid duty The last time that the
Haytien Republic was In Victoria she
was libeled for $4,000 which was, as
stated in the records of the court, for
prepared opium sold to the owners Of
the vessel and which had not been paid
for. Tho steamer was released on
bonds being given and she started on
her trip with the contraband China
men, who were apprehended.
Ten tons Of prepared opium Is the
amount that this boat alone has SNUG
gled within the last few months under
the eyes and with the consent Of GER

that those In Office expect to be out OF

that Eliza was among the living. Then
the people of Knox county agreed that Jim
Butts had lied again.
Finally the case was brought to trial at
the November term of court. What be-
came of Eliza Cherington after Butts and
she Jagged behind the others on the way to
church none Of the numerous witnesses
could say. Alonzo Woods testified that
two days after the couple disappeared he
met them near Altoona trudging along the
road. He was the last and only one to SEQ
Eliza. Sheriff Mathews swore that while
in Jail Butts confessed to him that the girl
and he spent the first night in the school
house, the second in a church near Wataga.
He then wanted her to return to her home,
but she refused to go, saying that she was
disgraced. Butts seemed to have gone no
further in his confession, leaving the sub
sequent fate of Eliza in darkness. The
trial occupied two days time, and jury Of
12 good men found James Butts guilty of
the crime Of abduction and recommended
his scquestration at the states prison for
term of 10 years. ..-
The verdict was indorsed by the Chering-
tons, and yet the family manifested no joy.
