Shower of Bullets Against the Omces
But No One was Hurt.
Centralia, ILL.,, May 25.-Despite their
defeat and the capture off fourth of
their members yesterday at Odin, the
Duouoin miners made another attack
on the Centralia miners before dawn
to-day. Just about o'clock about fifty
oil the strikers crept stealthily to the
mines, which had been left lightly
guarded in the belief that any attack if
made would be on the armory
where the arrested men were
confined under very heavy
guard. The first known of the
strikers approach was a trependous
fusilade of bullets against the mine COM
pany's office. Fortunately there were
no guards there. The guards near by
returned the fire with their Winches-
ters and the attackers took to their
heels. So far as known no one was
hurt. Assistance soon came to the
guards and no further trouble occurred.
A little after%9 O'Clock the troops or
dered here under Col. R. M. Smith ar
rived, and the town was Immediately
put under military guard. News reaches
here from Duquoin that 500 strik-
ers are endeavoring to steal a
train and come here, while
from Breese comes word that the
strikers there are preparing to march.
The troops, however, are strong and
will repulse any mob that may come.
Sheriff Helens also has large force of
deputies now on duty, all picked men,
who will not hesitate to act promptly
in an emergency. The arrested Du-
quoin men had hard night of it Oh the

OLD CLAIMS DECLARED VOID.
Hoke Smiths Decision Causes Great
Excitement in the Ashland
District.

Hoke Smiths Decision Causes Great
Excitement in the Ashland
District.
Ashland, Wis, May 25.-There was
quite rush on the land Office again
shortly before closing time yesterday,
when-the facts leaked out that Secretary
Hoke Smith had made some very broad
decisions covering mail entries. In
every instance his ruling upon
this point is that the applications made
out prior to November were void and
of no effect, for the reason that the
land was not legally subject to entry
until after II o'clock on the night Of
November 2.
Almost every mail application sent in
to the local Office on the first day OF
entry, November 2, was dated day or
two previous, and under the ruling of
Secretary Smith all such applications
are void. With this ruling all mail ap-
plications are to be rejected, and prior
right will then rest in those who per-
sonally appeared at the office to make
filings, having applications dated No
vember 2.
There are several contests where all
the contestants in the case filed by mail
and dated their applications prior to
November 2. In such cases all appli-
cations will be declared rejected and
the lands will then be subject to
entry by the first person who
comes along. It was this fact that
brought on a silent rush of citizens &C.
quainted with the inside facts, who APP
peared personally at the land office and
filed on the lands thus thrown out by
Secretary Smith in his rejection of such
mail applications.
Secretary Smith followed up his rul-
ing upon this point by passing upon
several Omaha cases. In the contest of
William Rusk, J. f. May and Michael
Connors over the southeast quarter of
section 5, township 48 and range 8, all
applications were made by mail on the
morning of May 2, and the Secretary
has made a decision in this
case rejecting the applications
of all three parties, leaving the land
open for entry. He made the same de.
cision in the case of La Forest Newell
VS.. Peter w. White, over the northeast
of II, 4S and 7. In the contest of Jenny
Jacobs against others, the Secretary de-
cided in favor of Jacobs, but has held up
her entrv for Investigation.

ANTICS OF A MAD DIVINE.
The Rev. Mr.. TolIemache, an Eng
lish Minister, Committed TO
an ASYLUM.

London, May 26.-Rev. DR.. Augustus
Francis Tollemache, one Of the most
prominent clergymen of the Church
of England, who has written numerous
pamphlets in defense of the Protestant
faith, and whose writings have regularly
appeared in the church papers for over
twenty years, was to-day taken to
private asylum at Frome on an order
issued by Master in Lunacy Maclean, as
the result of an inquiry ordered by the
lord chancellor. For nine months the
divine has been manifesting symptoms
Of alteration of mind, beginning with
eccentricities, and winding up with
demonstrations.that bmade manifest ms
loss of mind. At one time he dressed
himself in policeman's coat, strapped
q bulls eve lantern to the belt, and
searched his church all night for ghosts.
Lately he has been in the habit OF com
mencing his services by standing IN
front of the communion table
and blowing a policeman's whistle
for five or ten minutes. me
climax came, however, on the third
Sunday in April last, when the Bishop
held confirmation service IN the par
ish church of Hugglescote, an adjoining
town. DR.. To]lemache had been re-
quested to assist in the service, but
when the bishop reached the church
the eccentric minister was discovered
sitting among the girl candidates. There
he remained throughout the service.
He left the building just before the con-
gregation was dismissed, and took his
seat in dogcart tjust outside the doors.
Here he patiently waited until the
bishop and the assisting divines made
their appearance, when he proceeded
to deftlv flick off their hats with a whip.
