Religious Hostilities in West Pembroke

Religious Hostilities in West Pembroke
There has been trouble in West P, m
broke down in Washington county,
growing out of some revival meetings
held by exhorters styling themselves
holiness preach ers," in houses AMI
school houses in the southern and west
ern part of the town. 1t seems that the
schoolhouses had been LETT in such
dirty and disordered condition by the
meetings that the school committee felt
obliged to forbid the use of them any
longer. But the injunction was dis
oh eyed, and the. schoolhouses in the
Clark and Yonng's Cove districts were
bro ken into and used. On Wednesday
evening, Mr.. Everett Leighton, in whose
special charge these school houses were,
drove over to demonstrate with the Rev.
Mr.. Moses and his flock, upon their un-
seemly conduct Arriving at the school
house, It was found that a large crowd
were gathered about it. and awithout
leaving his carriage Mr.. Lsighton called
for MIR. Moses, and while lin the act Of
talking with him he was surrounded by
an excited throng, who made an at
tempt to overturn the vehicle in which
he and Mrs. leighton were sitting. This
not proving successful, an attt mpt was

torn from. his grasp. and amid a shower
of blows from it together with sticks
and stones, matters were made pretty
lively for the occupants of the team, at
ter which, urging a brief cessation of
hostilities, Mr.. leighton again made an
attempt to gam speech with the "pas

and finally retired amid volley ofmis-

to shield his wife. from the stones
thrown, MIR. Leighton's hand and arm
were cut and bruised badly. This was
the testimony as adduced at the hearing.
The day following warrant was issued
for the apprehension of Joseph Malar,
Albert Ashby, Wesley Blickwood, and

being participants in a riot, and they
were arrested and brought before Justice

Quoted t1e case for the plaintiff. The
hearing was held in Washington hall and
occupied nearly two days, at the end of
which the prisoners were discharged, the
evidence being deemed insufficient to
hold them upon the alleged charge. The
court room was filled with large and in-
crested crowds each day, and the plead
ings of counsel at the close were listened
to with the closest, attention. 1t is re-
ported that several of the parties to the
above suit will be brought up to answer
to the charges during the coming week,
and it would seem that the end is not

CABLE SUDDENLY SNAPPED.
Like An Eggshell the Cage Was
Crushed.
ONE PASSENGER WAS KILLED.
Thrilling and Horrible Experience of
Eight Persons While Crossing
Above the Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-FOr sew
eral months past there has been an aerial
cable-car line across the Tennessee River,
near this city. and hundreds continually
flocked there, the ride above the rivers dis
tance of 1000 feet. being particularly ex-
hilarating one.
This afternoon, without a moments
warning, while the cage, with eight Occu-
pants, was near the bluff on the opposite
side of the river the cable broke and the
car dashed down the incline at a frightful
speed. The violent motion of the car
caused the cable to wrap around it and
when within 200 feet of the ground crushed
it as though it was an eggshell.
One end of the cable-car struck Oliver
Ledgerwood. prominent young attorney
of this city on the head. killing him in
stanIly. Blood spurted from his wounds,
completely saturatng the clothing of the
remaining occupants of the car, and
frightening them so badly they attempted
to jump out of the windows into the river,
but were restrained by the brakeman.
Finally tug was secured and, anchored
directly beneath the dangling car ana the
survivors were rescued by means of a
rope, each descending hand over hand.
They we're: Miss Alice Waddle. Ledger

At the Coroner's inquest tonight Il was
discovered the cable had been partially
severed by an unknown miscreant.
