REV. WALDO MEssARos DEAD.
The Long Haired Religious Impostor
Who Deceived silly Women.

The Long Haired Religious Impostor
Who Deceived silly Women.
Rev. Waldo Messaros, the most notori-
Gus religious impostor of recent times.
died in Philadelphia hospital October s,
aged As years. He was an freshman by
birth, but claimed TO have been born in
Lepanto, Greece. His true name was un-
known. He made his first appearance in
this country in 1872, aiterward going to
Greece in order 10 Il himself for the part
he meant TO play. In 1876 he returned to
the United Stated and established resi-
dence IN Maine and became a lecturer.
He was snowy talker and had long hair,
and became great favorite with women.
He published numerous poems, which the
newspapers soon found were stolen. He
studied Presbyterian theology and became
pastor of the Northwestern Independent
church. Philadelphia. His sensational
sermons attracted great crowds, and
ignorant people considered him a very
eloquent man. The Presbyterian clergy
were Mortified by his sermons. He said
they were jealous of him. In 1883 the
presbytery forbade the Northwestern
church to permit him to preach. The
church stood by the pastor and withdrew
from the presbytery. Soon afierward he
was ordained as Free Baptist minister.
During all this time his habits were
very bad. He drank heavily. and ASSOC
ciated with lewd women. Sometimes
he would go on long sprees. In 1884
he tried to secure admission TO a Masonic
lodge, but was confronted with charges
against his morals. He boldly denied all,
and after year managed to secure admis-
afn In L. a
political harangue at Medea, Pa, and the
editor OF local paper denounced him as
"a liar. pious fraud. an adventurer and
drunkard. Messaros appealed to his con-
gregation. and they responded by passing
vote OF confidence and raising his salary
from S. $50 TO $1,000 Frequent stories of
his debauches at Atlantic CITY reached the
congregation, but they refused to believe
them. In 1856 Messaros called on Mrs.
G. W. Coulston. one of the mos. active
Christian workers IN the church. and
made criminal assault upon her. Her
screams brought three men, who rescued
her. He was tried for the crime, and after
hard struggle was acquitted. The
church now dwindled rapidly in member
ship, and finally Messaros was ousted.
He secured the pastorate of the First Free
Baptist church, New York, where he
preached disgraeetul sermons about opium
joints, tough saloons and the utter depray-
i,y of the world. In May of this wear his
young wife sued for divorce. and his
church gave him an indefinite vacation.
Then he began drinking harder than ever.
and finally his friends, early this nonth
sent him 10 gold cure establishment. but
II was too late.

OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD.
Two Propositions for Admission De-
laying Action on the Issue.

Two Propositions for Admission De-
laying Action on the Issue.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Bills have
now been reported from the house
committee on territories providing for
the admission Of Arizona, New Mexico
and Utah, and there is now pending
the bill introduced by Delegate Flynn
for the admission of Oklahoma.
1t is expected that there will be
something of a contest over this last.
There are two fact ons in the Indian
territory interested in the admission.
One wants the Indian territory admit
ted as portion of the state of Okla
homa, and another wants the section
now known as the Indian territory to
remain in its present condition. Del
egate Flynn says that 1t is of particu-
lar moment to him, If the people of
the Indian territory do not want to
come into the Union with Oklahoma
then he wants Oklahoma admitted as
a separate state. Before leaving for
home he said he would press his bill
as soon as congress should reassem-
BILE.
Speaking of the rights of Okla.
homa to statehood, Mr.. Flynn said
that there were in the Indian terri
tory and Oklahoma 100000 people,
but if Oklahoma should come in sep.
arately she would have q popula.
ton of 100000, all Of whom would be
first-class citizens He thinks that il
would be a great injustice to the PEG
pie of Oklahoma to deny them admis
sion as state when the territory has
the requisite population andr esource.

PlNIoNEp IN A WRECK 3
Six Men Killed In a Collision on the
Central Pacific.

RENO, Cal, Nov. Cone of the
worst railroad wrecks that ever hap
pened on the Western division of the
Central Pacific occurred at $50 yester-
day morning, between freight trains
No. 10, west-bound, and No. I, east
bound, about a mile west of Saliva,
eighteen miles east of Reno, resulting
in the death of Fred Leach, brakeman
on the west-bound, and Charles
Owens, fireman of the same train, and
four tramps not yet identified.
Engineer Leech was caught between
the boiler-head and tank. He lived
two hours after the collision, perfect
ly conscious all the time and begging
his fellow workmen to kill him.
After death it was found necessary to
cut off his legs close to the body in
order to extricate the body from the
wreck. The cause of the wreck was a
misunderstanding of orders. None of
the dead tramps have been identified

SHELBYvnLE, Ind, Nov. Eva
Horpback, aged II years, died last
night from poison. She was in love
with John Welcher of indianapolis,
and it is said that they had quarreled.
Before she died she said that Welcher
had bought the arsenic intending to
take it himself. She found him asleep
with the poison in his hand and, be-
lieving he had taken part of it, took
the entire quantity herself. When he
awoke she discovered her mistake,
but too late. The story is not be-
lieved by Coroner Bruce, who is in
vestlgating. The girl came from
Columbus, Ind, few months ago and
had MANY friends.

WASHINGTON, Nov. when the
house and senate reconvene in regu-
lar session, it is the plan of the radi-
cal silver men to keep the coinage
question well to the front at every
stage and it will be found playing a
part in the discussion of every great
issue between the parties from the
tariff question to the repeal of the
federal election laws. They propose
at every stage Of the tariff discussion
to endeavor to show that the demone-
tization of silver and not the McKin-
ley tariff was responsible for the COM
mercial depression. Propositions for
an issue OF bonds to meet
the embarrassments of a depleted
treasury and, indeed every great
public question that comes before the
next congress for solution will find
opposed to its consideration band of
silver men who will combat the ad-
justment of any and all grievances
until the cause of silver receives at
tention. Indeed, the ultimate policy
may be that the silver men may as
sumo the roll of organized obstruction
to force from congress the same con-
sideration for silver that Parnell and
his Irish followers finally wrested
from the British parliament for home
rule. Both parties are fully aware of
this possibility and are viewing with
increased anxiety the successive
moves of those senators and repre-
sentatives who, as Po9ulists, Repub-
licans or Democrats, have banded to-
gether in the struggle for free coinage
or an increased volume of currency.
To Offset the accessions to the third
party's ranks in the South the sena.
tors and representatives from those
states are anxious to repeal the ten
per cent tax on state bank currency,
but here they are met with the oppo-
sition of Chairman Springer of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency and other leading Democrats of
the North who do not share the South
ern views upon this phase of the inan-
cial question. Altogether the absorbing
question of finance appears likely to
play almost as important a part in the
next session as it has in the past,

Chief Justice Fuller Refuses to Intervene
For the Removed officials.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Chief Justice
Fuller in the supreme court to-day de-
MED the applications of Parsons and
Niniger, district attorney and
marshal for Northern Alabama, for
leave to file petitions of mandamus
commanding the Alabama district
court to reinstate them in the offices
from which they were removed by
President Cleveland. These men
claimed that they could not be re-
moved until their terms expired. The
court did not go into the merits of
the matter, saying simply that their
cases were not properly presented for
its consideration.
