CONDEMN MRS. CLEVELAND.
M embers of the W. G. I. U. Angry Because
She Used Wine ut the Christening.

Pittsburg, Pa. November ls.-The
Pittsburg members of the w.C.T.U.
are greatly exercised over the failure of
Mrs. Cleveland to take their advice and
use bottle of SchuyIkill river water in
stead of wine at the christening of the
new ocean steamship St.I4ouis yester-
day. Mrs. Jane Collins, one of the most
prominent temperance workers here,
said Mrs. C leveland's action is a snub to
the W.C.T.U., and an insult to the
memory of the wife Of President Hayes,
who did not allow wine on the White
House table.
Other members, notably Mrs. Eliza
Gomley and Mrs. Ellen Watson, said the
action of Mrs. Cleveland should be de-
nounced by every branch of the Union
in the country.
1t is likely that at the next conven-
tion of the Allegheny county W,C.T.U.
resolutions will he passed and a copy
sent to Mrs. Cleveland.

Colum bus, O., November 14.-A SUBJ
poena for the arrest of Colonel Colt,
who commanded the militia at Washing
ton Court House during he recent riot
over the eattempted lynching of two men.
has been issued. The subpoena cites
Colonel Colt is wanted as witness at
the trial, and his friends here urged
him not to accept the subpoena, as they
claim it 10 merely ruse on the part of
the authorities of Washington Court
House to get him there and then place
him in jail on charge of murder. They
state the feeling against him is SO in
tense at the latter place that his life is
in jeopardy, and mem bers of the local
militia are greatly excited over the
affair. Some hot headed ones advise the
militiasto go to Washington Court House
without uniforms, igit with muskets
loaded, and act as body guard. It is
stated that Colonel Colt telegraphed
Governor Mckinley asking what he
(Colt) shall do in the matter. The gov.
ernor is reported to have advised Colonel
Colt to go to Washington Court House,
and if he finds his life in danger. the
governor will order out the militia to
protect him and preserve order. Colonel
Colt has not decided whether he will go.
