Moy Sing Now, of Chicago, one of the
wealthiest Chinese merchants in the
United States, sometime ago, at an
expense of $4,000, procured the trans
portation to Victoria of Kan Yuk,
Celestial maiden whom he wished 10

woman was his wife, whom he was
bringing from their former home. The
inspectors on finding that the acquaint-
ance of the couple dated from Kan
Yuk's arrival, refused to allow her to
enter the country and have determined
to prosecute Moy for perjury. 1t is

AMadman i'm a Church.

With a jug of cider in one hand and
a repeating rifle in the other, William
Pattison, an escaped mailman, entered
Mt. Olivet Church in Pa, Sum
day morning. He at once threw the
congregation into panic by firing
right and left, and after all had fled, he
himself marched away.
About week ago Pattison, who was
an inmate of the State Insane Asylum
at Harrisburg, escaped. Asylum Of
ficials started out on hunt for him,
but the willy lunatic eluded capture. He
struck out through the country, main
ly following the highways. His actions
did not arouse suspicion among the
farmers at whose homes he begged tor
food.
At one of these places he stole
fine repeating rifle and a box full OF
shells. Although holly pursued for q
time he escaped capture. On Saturday
last he visited one of the many big ci-
der presses that dot the farm lands in
that section. He found gallon jug
filled with the seductive liquid and
walked off with it in triumph.
Yesterday he reached the vicinity
known as Peach Bottom. AS Pattlson
had been sleeping in barns and against
haystacks and was dirty and ragged, he
presented disreputable appearance.
While ambling aimlessly along the road
he came to MI. Olivet Church, where
meeting was in progress. Without
ado the mailman trailing his shining
rifle turned the doorknob and walked
in. A second later all eyes were upon
him. Many at glance recognized that
he was mailman. Gesticulating wildly
and swinging the jug around his head, he
poured out a string of vehement but
unacceptable words. Then, deposit
ing his Jug on the end of pew. he
brought his gun to the shoulder and
pulled the trigger. The first shot sent a
thrill of terror through every worship
per. No one dared 60 near the wild
eyed maniac. He aimed his rifle at
windows, pulpit, stoves and pews with
recklessness that might have ended
in horrible tragedy.
Men, women and children rushed
pellmell out of doors and sought safety
10 flight. In the meantime Pattison re-
loaded his weapon and banged away
indiscriminately until he had fired Is
shots. AS no one then remained in the
church but him, the lunatic, with
grin of satisfaction, picked up his jug
and walked out. He was not molested,
hut soon Officer Shenk, was upon his
track. He captured Pattison q few
hours later and brought him to York,
where he is now locked up. The
Harrisburg asylum authorities have
been notified and the mailman will soon
be back in the cell where he belongs.
The Olivet Church presents sorry
appearance. Windows are shattered
and seats and pulpit splintered by the
bullets,

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Oct. 16.-Thomas
Lucero, the notorious outlaw who was
the leader of the band that assassinated
Sheriff Doherty, OF Mora county, was
captured at Grand Station on the
Atlantic and Pacific road yesterday by
Sheriff Cunningham. Just before the
Mora murder was committed, fourteen
of the band were arrested, but Lucero
escaped and fled to the mountains. A
confession by one of the outlaws shows
that Lucero was the leader in the

CAPTAIN Ray Exonerated.

News has been received Lere of the
acquittal and complete generation
of Captain P. H. Ray, of Point Bar
row expedition fame, who is army
Indian agent at the Shoshone and
Arapahoe Indian agency, in Wyoming,
and who was arrested on charge Of
misbranding cattle, with intent to steal
them. When the law was passed
authorizing the appointment OF
army officers as Indian agents, Captain
Ray was selected for agent of the Sho-
shones and Arapahoes, on his splendid
record as captain of q company of these
Indians, which he organized at Fort
Washable, Wyoming. He was direct
ed by the Interior Department to pre-
vent the free use of the reservation by
cattlemen, who had been unlawfully
grazing their cattle on the reservation,
and to seize certain cattle stolen from
the government. The vigor with which
the orders were executed and the reser-
walton kept free from intruders brought
on Capt. Ray the enmity of the persons
affected. Unsuccessful efforts were
made to have him removed, and later
ne was arrested charged with stealing
the cattle he seized by order of the
Secretary OF the Interior. News of the
arrest was telegraphed from Lander,
town just off the reservation, and Act
ing Indian Commissioner Armstrong,
when interviewed, declared that Cap
tain Ray was one of the bureaus most
efficient officers, and that the arrest
grew out of that fact.
The trial took place at the us. court
at Lander, and news reached Washing
ton yesterday of Captain Rays acquit-
tai, and intimated strongly that, as a
result of evidence given in the trial,
prosecutions were likely to be iustitut-
ed against certain persons on charges
of stealing government cattle.

SHE LOVED THE CRIMINAL-Secret
Service officials who had arrested a mau
calling himself John Robertson dis
covered in Chicago yesterday that their
prisoner is John Spayne, notorious
counterfeiter, who has been fugitive
for three years. During his examina-
ton dramatic incident occurred. A
woman of beautiful face, but totally
blind, appeared at the examination and
announced herself as Spayne's wife.
James Morton, well-to-do merchant,
who had been called as witness,
caught sight of the woman, and rushing
to her, declared she was his wife, who
had disappeared two years before.
Recognizing Morton's voice, the blind
woman piteously begged the officers to
protect her from him. She acknow
lodged that she was Mrs Morton, but
said her husband had treated her
cruelty, and that she feared him.
Despite Morton's entreaties, the woman
refused to go with him, declaring that
Spayne had treated her kindly, and
that even though he was criminal,
she would remain with him. She told
q pitiful story of her ill-treatment, and
was allowed to leave the courtroom with
the guide who had accompanied her.
Spayne, who had appeared deeply af-
fected by the scene, was sent to jail to
await trial.

A DOUBLE LIFE.-Investigation by
detectives has brought to light the fact
that William Barrett, now locked up
in the Cambridge, Mass, Jail, charged
with the murder of Constable James
Farrar, of Lincoln, Mass, last May, led
a strange double life. In New York
city he supported his wife and child in
style, and represented to them that he
was a dealer in driving horses, while
the evidence secured by the police
leads to the conclusion that he was also
professional burglar. On the night of
May IL last a burglar entered the house
of James Fsrrar in Lincoln. Farrar was
awakened, and, with his brother and
several neighbors. pursued the burglar.
After following the footprints of the
thief's rubber bottoued shoes for some
hours they came across Barrett in the
woods near Cherry Rock, and attempt
ed to arrest him. In the struggle
which followed Barrett shot and killed
Farrar. Barrett was captured, how
ever, and on his person was found a
complete burglars kit, as well as rub
Der tennis shoes, such as the thief who
entered Farrar's house must have
worn. Property which had been stolen
from other houses in the vicinity a
short time before was also found in his
possession. 1t now develops that Bar
rett's real name is William Bassett,
and the police claim that he has been
professional burglar for some time.
When his wife discovered the truth re-
Gently she left New York, and went to
Canada with her son. It is said that

The Origin of the Pentateuch in the Light
Of the Ancient Monuments by Henry Alex
ander White, NJ A. Phi. D., D. D., Professor
OF History in the Washington and Lee Uni
versity, has been received from its publishers,
the B. F. johnson Company, Richmond. This
volume on the Pentateuch and contempora-
neous history is intended to show the vital
connection between the Hebrew people and
the ancient empires of the East. It meets
want felt by every teacher and student of the
Old Testament. Nc volume has yet been
published showing so clearly the character of
the heathen institutions that surrounded the
Hebrew nation during the time of the Pa
triarchs and of the Exodus; nor has any book
yet thrown such vivid light on the Scripture
history. The story Of the inscriptions or the
ancient monuments is presented in graphic
style, and the way in which the first I've
books Of the Bible were most probably writ
ton is clearly explained.

local republican politician of renown IN
Washington, has revived long enough
to say that, the prejudice against the
negro in the South is unforgiving, that
the North voluntarily freed its slaves,
aud that the Northern soldiers would
not rest until they had removed the
shackles from the negroes in the South.
The poor old man has lost his memory
and lags superfuouson the stage. He has
forgotten that theSouthern slave owners
never had any prejudice against ne
groes, that the North never freed its
slaves until they became valueless, and
that the Northern soldiers offered to
let the South retain its slaves if it
would only stop fighting.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

The ioiut mass meeting held at Alba
ny, N. Y, last night by the Hill and
Cleveland factions at Harmanus Bleeck'
er Hall was one of the most significant
Publications of the present campaign.
Mr.. Rosendale called the assemblage to
order and introduced Governor Flower,
who was to preside for the remainder
of the evening. The Governor spoke
IS follows: "This is the time when
the democrats should stand up and be
counted, and if l do not mistake the
feeling of the rank and file they arc in
line for battle" The Governor paid
glowing tribute to Senator Hill as
statesman and democrat. Continuing,
he said: "Our enemies are boastful, but
the plain issues of this campaign should
certainly give us the victory. This is
death struggle with the party which
gave us the Mckinley bill i'll 1890. The
people discarded those theories of cur
rency and tariffs in 1892 by the election
of Mr.. Cleveland"
Hon. Bourke Cochran also spoke.
He eulogized the administration Of
President Cleveland and contended
that protection is the cause of the bust
ness and industrial depression from
which the country is suffering. MIR.
Cochran was loudly applauded at every
point, especially when he mentioned
the names of Cleveland, Flower and
Hill. Applause was tumultuous when
the speaker appealed for religious toll
erance.
Senator David B. Hill left Albany
Yesterday afternoon and arrived al
Kingston early in the evening. He was
at once escorted to the Academy OF
Music, where he made his third speech
of the campaign. His remarks were
confined almost entirely to State issues.
Many of the assertions of his Syracuse
and Binghamton speeches were re-
peated. ..
The New York Herald says: "Presi-
dent Cleveland, on his way to Wash
ington from Gray Gables, will stop in
New York to register, and on the day
of election he will go to New York and
vote the State ticket headed by David
B. Hill aud the city ticket headed BY

State ticket in New York, as we'll as
