THE SANcTIFIED BAND.-The trial
of the leaders of the Sanctifed Band Of
Chincoteaque Island began at Oman
cock yesterday, Judge Gillet presiding.
The charge on which these people
stand indicted is that of being concern
ed in conspiracy to separate husband
and wife, and of being nuisance to
the community in which they live.
Joseph D. Workman was the leader
of the sect, bat one of his disciples,
named Lynch, spread the doctrines at
Onancock and did more damage than
any other. He claimed that when
once his believers have experienced
sanctifcation they cannot commit sin,
and that without specification they
cannot be saved. They held meetings
and had strange dreams.
Lynch began by dreaming about
Mrs. William Collins, the best-looking
woman in the community, and forth
with left his own wife and took Mrs.
Collins as his companion. Then vii
liam Collins had a dream and took
some other mans wife. In this way
nearly every husband was deprived of
his wife, and forced to take UP with
some other mans wife.
Finally suit was brought, and yester-
day the trial began, James Fletcher,
commemorative attorney, appeared for
the prosecution, and Russell and Spady
for the defense. Mr.. Spady moved to
squash the indictment, on the ground
that the offenses charged were not
punishable by the law of Virginia. He
was overruled, however. and the case
ordered on. Thirteen witnesses were
then examined, of whom three were
women, and the testimony was as a
rule of such character as to be unfit for
publication.
1t was in the main that Workman
and Lynch had for years preached
sanctifcation, persuading women to
leave the unsanctified husbands and
consort as fellow-workers with sancti-
fed men. AT times the entire court
shook with laughter, and again, when
stories were told of how homes had
been broken up, some cried. Sadie
Collins, Lynch's sanctified companion,
coached the lawyers for the defense.
To-day Lynch will 60 on the stand.
The trial is attracting large crowds.

Destructive Fire.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. Sat $3.50
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the Indiana Medical College, and quickly
spread to the Scottish Rite building adj
joining, where the finest Masonic
paraphernalia in the west was reduced
to ashes. This outfit had but recent
ly been purchased, and the estimated
loss to the Masons will reach 100000
A CHASTITY feature of the disaster was
the fact that eighteen bodies stored in
the college for dissecting purposes
were burned to crisp. The stencil OF
burning human flesh was nauseating.
The total loss is about $4,000.

THE Southern Society of New York,
through its president, declares that the
political contest now in progress in the
State of New York is fight for party
supremacy, and that the votes OF the
members of the society will, therefore,
be given to Senator Hill. But there are
people in the South, people, too, who
call themselves democrats, who say the
defeat of the New York democratic
ticket will not hurt the national demo-
cratic party. There are blessings IN
disguise, but no practical democrat an
ticipates one as the result OF the cleo
ton of the republican ticket in New

REV. DR.. PARKHURsT, who has
transformed many of the pulpits in
New York into political stumps from
which he denounces the democratic
ticket in that State, realizing the fact
that such unseemly conduct has dis
gusted intelligent people, has now
turned his attention to the negroes
there, and has invaded their churches,
and tells them they are as much en-
shaved in New York, as they were in
the South, before emancipation. Po-
litical parsons always do the cause
thew profess more harm than good.

Earthquake.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. "a dispatch
from the City of Mexico says that two
strong earthquake shocks were felt in
that city and vicinity at GAO o'clock
last evening. During the minute which
they lasted buildings were rocked and
the ground rose and fell in regular
swells. Many horses were thrown
down in the streets, which were crowd
ed with praying and confessipg people,
and many ladies were driven into hys-
terics. No loss of life has been report
ed and it is believed the damage to
property will be slight.

MORE COAL has been shipped from
Pittsburg to lake ports since the pas
sage of the German tariff bill than In
any previous equal period. Such a
patent fact as this is as nothing TO the
protectionists. who say the bill referred
to must be repealed and the Mckinley
hill be reenacted. But such men are
human. The German bill has reduced
their profits, and they, therefore, want
it repealed. The fact that it has also
reduced the cost of the necessaries OF
life, is for other peoples consideration,
not for theirs. Their rapacity is q hu-
man frailty; but the foolishness OF
those who would submit to it is almost

ACCORDING TO Senator Faulkner,
the President is DESTROYS of the
election of democratic majority in
the next United States House of
Representatives. But how can that
be, when he conspicuously refuses to
do single thing that might probably
help the democrats in a State that is
entitled to thirty-four members of that
body-enough to determine its political
complexion.

1t would certainly not mean a republi'

the true democrats in New York, but
in every other State, are striving to ef-
feet. Those who are not with the dem.
ocrats in their present fight for the
maintenance of low tariff and against
the reenactment> of the Force bill, are
against them, and that is the long and
short of it.
