icals'' went to the church, took forcible
possession and placed a new lock on the
door. Last Thursday the 'liberals' went
in body to the church, took possession,
put on q lock of their own, and, fully
armed, equipped and supporting a COM
missary department well supplied with
provisions, went into camp to guard the
property. The radicals got reinforce
ments from the county, and close upon
the Sabbath they marshalled their forces
to capture the church. A regular riot
followed and number Of the partici-
pants were seriously injured, among them

senger, and his companion were arrested
near Rock Island. Both Prior and the
woman will be brought here to-day 'un-
less they decline to come without requi-
sitior papers. Supt. Daniels left for St.
Paul for Il conference with the express
company officials there. The woman who
went with Frior was Mile Zigler She
came from Minneapolis several months
ago, remained here short time and then
went to Pierre, where Prior cared for
her quite lavishly. She is young in years,
but old in sin, and Prior's downfall is
attributed directly to her. Those ac-
quainted with her say she had him COM
pletely under her control, and continually
logged his steps.

two months ago of raping Nellie Harmon,
a seventeen-year-o member of his par
ish at Two Harbors, was sentenced by
Judge Lewis to twenty years and three
months in the Saltwater penitentiary.

philosophically. He says he has many
staunch friends who will spend money
freely to carry the case to the court of
last resort to secure for him a new trial.
Since Connolleys conviction Miss Han
non has given birth to a boy, the father
of which she alleges is Connolley. 1t is

Captured IL Blind Pocketboolx.

Oralaska, Wis, Jan. 23. - On New
Years morning A. BONANZA, landlord of
the BONANZA hotel in New Amsterdam,
eight miles from here, was attacked by
two robbers in his place of business and
quite roughly handled. He opened and
lighted the Office at o'clock and passed
into the dining room. On returning to
the Office through an unlighted hallway
he was seized by two men, thrown to the
floor and relieved of a blind" pocket
book, probably supposed by the thieves
to be the right one. The affair has been
kept from the public with fruitless ef-
forts being made to identify and capture
the thieves.

strikers are Riotous.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jan. 22.-Yesterday
was one of the most exciting in the his
tory of che city of Bridgeport. Not since
1861, when MAJ ching volunteers on their
way to the front filled the streets, have
the residents been so aroused. ALL day
excited crowds thronged the streets and
mob law prevailed. The police were set
at defiance and crowd Of angry men
ruled the town. The rioting was one OF
the results of the discharge of five en-
ployes of the Bridgeport Traction COM
pany yesterday and the strike which fol-
loved. Yesterday morning fifty men
came up from Jersey City to take the
place of the strikers, and it was an
nounced that the company intended to
run it's cars to-day. The men then held
q long consultation and decided that
they would not allow the company to run
the cars. The yards of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad were
raided and railroad iron, ties, coupling
pins, boxes and barns were taken and
piled on the tracks at various points.
Some Of the cars were moved out of the
sheds, but were unable to proceed but
q short distance. They were surrounded
by the strikers and their friends and the
crews were compelled to leave them in
the streets. Police were summoned from
headquarters and several cars were start
ed with three railroad employees and
guard Of three policemen. The crowds
quickly drove the police from the cars,
together with the conductors and drivers.
Sticks and stones were thrown and the
windows of the cars broken. Several
policemen and railroad employees were
slightly injured. At o'clock i car in
charge of five policemen and several rail-
road employees was attacked at the cor
ner of Congress and Main streets. Here
a mob of about 1000 men and boys were
gathered. They bombarded the cars with
stones, breaking all of the windows and
injuring several of those in charge.
At 6 o'clock a patrol wagon filled with
police and three wagons with railroad
employees left the stables to bring back
q wrecked car at the corner of Congress
and Main streets. On arriving there
| they were surrounded by mob and a
| lively row ensued, in which hostler
| employed by the company had his nose
| broken and another employee was badly
| bruised about the body. The police and
| railroad men retrefted and abandoned
the car. Meanwhile the mayor sum-
moned the police commissioners, sheriff
| and city officials and a conference last.
ing three hours was held with the owners
| of the road. At the conclusion of the
meeting it was announced that the com
pany had agreed to re-employ the strik
ers with the exception Of nine men.

ENGLISH Railway Investors.

London, JAN 24.-The Financial News,
ir commenting upon interviews with
Messrs. Sage and Reinhart on it's article
entitled american Railway Robbers"
says that their statements about the
financial depression are beside the mark.
All that is required is plain answer to
it's plain question, whether Reinhart pur-
pcsely misled his New York correspond
ent when he declared that the Atchison
interest would be paid. It is not so
much the misfortunes of the American
railways that English investors complain
about, but it is the trickery Of which
they are made victims by men who ought
to act in straightforward manner.

KILLED BY AN EARTHQUAKE
"DETAILS OF THE RECENT EARTH.
QUAKE IN THIBET.
Eight Hundred and Fifty Houses De-
mOlishel-Thc Total Deaths Will
Probably Reach Into the Thou
sands, While Many Are Missing.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 22.-Private ad-
sices received by the Empress of Japan
give fuller particulars of the earthquake
devastations in the mysterious territory
north of the Himalayas, where Skoolhak,
tue Buddhist God Incarnate,' reigns
supreme over the hearts of the Thibetans.
Owing to the extreme remOteness OF the
country, information of the tremendous
disaster had only just reached the coast
when the Empress of Japan sailed Tor
Am erica. The viceroy of Szechuan, Lou
Ping Chang, who represents the civil
authority of China in the distressed ter
ritCry, has made public appeal tor
slccor, and in his memorial says thae
the grand monasteries of Hueyuan and
Kemis, the home of Buddhism, are IN
ruins and seven small lamasaries are
buried in the wreck of the former. Eight
hundred and fifty houses belonging to
native Thibetan soldiers, and occupied by
them and their families, met the same
fate Seventy-four Lama priests and loO
Chinese and Thibetans made up the roll
Of those whose bodies had been found
and identified. There were also many
scores of unidentified corpses, while the
missing are legion.
The total of fatalities will probably
reach into the thousands, upward OF 4OO
men were mortally wounded, but were
still alive when the memorial left the
viceroy, and the distress caused through
out Thibet by the shock is beyond e1-
aggeration. Famine threatens the land
and the cry for bread is to all creeds
and to all people. The greatest misfor-
tune of all, however, is, to the mind of
all devout Buddhists, that which has be-
fallen their sacred hcad--the holy Skool-
hak. He is among the missing from
Lhassa, where the monastery OF kemls
was, and the circumstances, although zeal
oUsly guarded by the faithful for fear
that knowledge Of it might rend asunder
the entire fabric of the ancient faith, is
rapidly spreading through all the East
erI lands where Buddhism is the religion
Of the masses. The outcome is beyond
C. lcrlation. the shrine q heap of ruins
and the holy one missing from the earth.
The Lama mors steries of Huelyuan and
Kemis are situated in the heart of the
civilized portion of Thibet, and for ages
the latter has been the seat of Buddhism,
proper.

PODc Will Economics.

London. Jan. PA dispatch to the
Chronicle from Rome says that the
mcptkly deficit Of 100000 francs in
Peters pence will be balanced by draw
ing upon the reserve which the pope has
kept in the name Of himself and tho
trustees since the loss by. Folchi's i'll
judicous investments. The decrease in
the revenue is largely due to the fact
that French royalsts have lcsscned their
subscriptions. The increasing donations
from America, however, will enable the
Holy See to turn the corner, and the
pope intends to abolish several costly
sinecures.

EMPEROR AND BISMARCK
RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE
KAISER AND EX-CfIANCELLOR.
The Emperor Sends n Message to
the Prince and the Latter Will
Visit Bcrlin-Great Rejoicing Over
the RecOncilatiD s.-..-

Berlin, Jan. 24.-The aide-de-camp' of
Emperor William, Col. Won Moltke, has
called at Friedrichsruhe and has pre-
serted Prince Bismarck with a bottle of
very old wine, sent to the ex-.hancellor
by the emperor. The bottle of wine was
accompanied by an autograph letter in
which the emperor congratulated Prince
Pismsrck upon his recovery from his
recent attack of influenza: The Cologne
Gazette, referring to the present, says
that Prince Bismarck, in replying to
Count Won A1oltke, said that he would
wait upon the emperor at Berlin at the
beginning of next week. The greatest
Importance is attached here and through
out Germany to the reconciliation be-
tween Bismarck and the emperor. Espe-
cial attention is paid to the effect which
the reconciliation will have upon the ma
tioral policy of Germany as it is now de-
clared that Prince Bismarck, in addition
to being reconciled to Emperor William,
is also in full accord with Chancellor Won
CaErivi and Baron Won Bieberstein, the
imperial secretary of state and foreign
affairs.
The reconciliation as announced has
served to increase the popularity Of the
emperor, of his chancellor, and of the
government, as there is no doubt that
great number of people objected to the
practical exiting of the great German
statesman. On the other hand the
agrarians who relied upon Prince Bis
marck's support against the Russo-Ger-
man treaty, are downcast and apparently
convinced that there is no longer much
! strength in their opposition to this
| measure.
! The effect Of the news cf the recon
| cilis4tion was most marked. There was
! 4 general rise in stocks and bonds, ant
Il much stronger and more healthy feel
ing on all sides. The newspapers hal
the announcement Of the reconciliation
as the happiest event which has happened
! for long while, and the people every
where give evidence of joyful excitement
This event will now probably be made tn
signal for a general outburst Of patriot
enthusiasm throughout Germany.
