HE WAS NAUGHTY PASTOR
CHICAGO PRESBYTERY rDEPoSEs A
HYDE PARK CLERGYMAN
DONE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Rev. W. W. Totheroh Declared
to Be Guilty OF Living With
Pretty Mrs Hattie Hamilton
for the Past Two Years-Unan-
imous Vote Of the Presbytery
After a Lengthy Talk.

CHICAGO. Nov. 13.-Despite the an
nouncement that he would give up the
fight, DR.. W. ". Totheroh, the Hyde
Park Presbyterian clergyman charged
with sustaining improper relations with
Mrs. Hamilton, member of his flock,
appeared before the Chicago presbytery
today 10 conduct his own defense. DR..
Totheroh had been met by members OF
his church as he left a downtown hotel
apartment with Mrs. Hamilton, and at
the time 1t is said that he confessed that
the charges against him were true, and
said he would Immediately resign his
passionate. Today, however. the minister
stated that he had confessed nothing;
that he had simply met Mrs. Hamilton
TO confer with her regarding the charges
against him, and that he will continue
the fight.
The case is a notable one. and has
been before the presbytery for over
year, that body so far having failed to
convict the pastor. Regarding his al
legged confession DR.. Totheroh said to-
day that when he was confronted at the
hotel he was threatened with arrest and
compelled to sign the confession, as he
thought, TO escape Imprisonment.
After six hours discussion the Chicago
preSbytery today deposed Rev. W. W.
IotheToh from the ministry of the Pres
byterian church, and suspended him
from its privileges.
The action was taken by the unau-
lmous vote OF the presbytery after hear
ing but little testimony. DR.. Totheroh
was present throughout the entire ses-
sion, which was held behind closed
0O0TS Ilr fTNrhnrnh annnnRraEf his
defense. and both before ana after the
conclusion Of the meeting denied that
he was guilty Of the offense charged
against hlm-Of sustaining improper
relations with Mrs. Hattie r. Hamilton.
Several witnesses testified that they had
seen MIR. TOtheroh and Mrs Hamilton
together in the Asbby house, and the
following confession, signed by Mr..
IOtheroh, was read:
hereby confess that have been with
Mrs. Hattie Hamilton for the past two
years; that Mr.. Inglis and J. NJ. Parker
have been justified in making all
charges they have made: that Mrs. Ham
iltOn was with me on the trip to Port
land, Or: that l wrote her name as
Mrs. Il. K. Clark on the Grand Pacific
hotel register at Tacoma. Wash: that |
was with her al the Ashley hotel IL Chi
cagO, ana occupied room on Nov. s,
1898; that l rented room at 2SI5 State
street, and occupied it with Mrs. Hattie
R. Hamilton in March. April. May and
June, 1898. W. ". ToTHERoH.
Mr.. TotheToh strenuously opposed
the reading Of the confession, saying
that his signature had been obtained
under duress. After his suspension
MIR. Totheroh did not make any COM
menI on the action of the presbytery.
He said that it had been his intention
for some time TO resign from the minis
try, and did not appear to be greatly
concerned.

Biatchford's Memory Honored

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-There was a
hearing today before Commissioner
Lamoreaux. of the general land Office.
upon an order to show cause why the
United States should not bring suit 10
compel the REIMBURSEMENT of lands
certified TO the Winona & st. Peter
Railroad company seventeen years ago.
These selections were even-numbered
sections within the indemnity limits of
the grant in Minnesota. and it is claimed
that the company had no right to these
lands because the selections were Tor
losses in its indemnity grant. Judge
Wilson, of st. Paul. made the argument
for the company. If the case is decided
against the company it will involve
selections of a ike character by other
land grant roads.

No Doubt as TO the Identity Of
Alex McCIeIIand.
CENTRALIA, H.. Nov. 13.-The Nc
ClelIanu pond mystery is being iuYesti-
gated About sixty witnesses are here
for examination. 'Thev are nearly all
relatives of the deceased. The general
impression is that the murders were
committed about twelve years ago, and
that the bodies were buried and staked
down in the pond. There is no doubt
as to the identity of the remains. They
are evidently those of Alex McClelland
and his son Oscar. VINO disappeared in
1881. 1t now appears that there was
more than one person concerned III the
commission of the crime, and that a son
was living on the farm at the time. a
brother of the dead man, now living IN
Oregon. is said 10 have made threats
against the deceased. The latter owed
his brother a large sum. as security Tor
debt, ana the brother is said TO have
left here soon after the dead mans last
appearance here. Excitement is in
tense, as the parties connected with the
affair are among tue first families OF the
county. Hundreds of people are mere
listening to the testimony.

habit: and, since to thorough training
as a scholar and in professional prac-
tice. wide and varied knowledge of
the law, keen and discriminating in-
teilect and an indOmitable patience, he
added 1.-The transcendent capacity Of
taking trouble the volume ana extent
OF the work he was enabled to accom-
plish during twentv-six years of judi
cial life should occasion no surprise.
We take up our burdens again cor
scious of the absence of the relief his
participation would have afforded. but

AFTER ANARCHISTS.
The French and Spanish Govern
ments Want Them.


PARIS. Nov. 13.-In consequence OF
the representations made by the Span
ism ambassador to the French minister
of foreign affairs regarding the connee-
ton existing between the anarchists of
Spain and those of France and other
countries, il being intimated that the
latter were assisting the Spanish an.
archists TO escape. the French govern
ment has sent three special commission
erS of police to the Spanish frontier
with instructions to take every precau-
ton possible to prevent anarchists
crossing the frontier. As a result.
every suspected person entering
France will be closely watched
and questioned and detained IN
til the arrival OF detectives
from Paris. who viii be summoned
the moment suspected person fails to
answer satisfactorily questions put TO
him. On the other hand. il is undel-
stood the Spanish government had
pledged itself 10 take similar action on
the other side of the frontier whenever
called upon to do so by the French gov
eminent. 1t is also understood that the
German, Austrian ana Italian govern
ments have sent additional Instructions
to their frontior police, with the view
of preventing the passage across the
frontier OF people suspected OF being
connected with the anarchistic groups.
Further and more stringent passport
regulations are contemplated, and a
quiet search is being made by the po-
lice in a number of the large cities of
France, upon instructions received from
Spain, for several suspects were be-
lIeved TO have been connected directly
