A PREACHERS VIEWS.
Rev. A. s. abr Ready to Flop to
the POpulists.

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 3.-The Rev. A ;.
Embree, pastor of the leading Methodist
church Of this city, an advocate OF pro-
hibition. and heretofore a Republican, has
declared his independence of political parties
and has taken a stand on the social ques-
ton which ranks him with Mrs. Lease and
other prominent Populists. In a sermon
which he delivered last Sunday taking for
his text a passage from th~eScriptures, How
old art thou he said: 1.-THE life of a ma
ton is measured by the character Of it's
public men and officials, but there are ele-
ments in our national life which are in
furious. See what the decentralization or a
single metal has caused. 1t has shocked
the entire world and has brought on a fnan-
cial crisis which has hardly ever been sur
passed. AS long as political parties nave
the same old political r~ivalries and believe
that TO the victors belong the spells so long
will our national life be crippled. While I
do not believe in mob violence, yet / have
heard of mobs that L would not get In the
way of preventing from carrying out their
purpose. We can expect mol violence as
long as the people elevate to the bench
judges not worthy of public confidence. Our
public men should be such men as we
could point our sons TO with pride, but where
is there such a Governor that we can point
to with much pride?"

DETROIT ALSO SUFFERS.
One Building Burned and Others
Damaged-LOss, $~25O,OOO.

DETROIT, Mich, JAN Sire started
from some unknown cause in the third
story of T. H. Hinchman & Sons wholesale
drug house about $50 o'clock this evening.
The entire four stories were shortly beyond
saving and the firemen directed their efforts
to saving adjoining buildings. The Hinch-
man building, which was owned by d. Hinch-
extended through the block from Jefferson
avenue 70 Woodbridge street, with an adj
dition on the Wo~odbridge-street end. Adj
joining the latter is Standard Bros whole
sale hardware house, which also suffered
heavily from fire and water. w. II. Edgar
e. Co., wholesale sugar dealers, suffered a
loss of several hundred dollars from fire,
water and smoke. Another building, occu-
pied by Louis Blitz & Co, fancy glass man
ufacturers, was somewhat damaged with
small loss on stock. The Hinchman house
was one of the oldest and largest in the
State. Their loss on building and stock will
probably reach s165,00O; insurance. s115,00o.
The Standard stock and building were val
ued at Sis, 900, nearly covered by insurance.
Their actual loss cannot now be estimated,
but it is believed the entire loss will be
about $3.50. 600.

customs at Port Huron all right, and came
on to West Detroit. There he consigned
the trunk to a Chinese firm in San Fran
cisco. United States Inspector Carter, who
had accompanied Kennedy from Toronto,
then made the arrest and seized the trunk.

WORLDS FAIR THIEVES.
Robbers Den Discovered Under the
Agriculture Building.

CHICAGO. Jan. IA robbers roost, rich
with plumber, has been found beneath the
floor of the great agriculture building at
the worlds fair grounds. The thieves
escaped, but much valuable stolen prop
erty was recovered. The den was
sumptuously furnished with Turkish
rugs, fabrics from foreign looms, rich
draperies and comfortable divans. Fine
~brandies high priced wines and imported
cigars were scattered about the place in
great profusion. Three men were seen
stealing whisky bottles and following, the
officers found the den. The nen dropped
through a hole in the floor and the officers
in pursuit found a well-beaten path under
the building leading 10 the den. IL is prob
able that the thieving has been going on
ever since the close of the fair, as articles
have been missed from the building for
many weeks.
President Higinbotham said to-day, in re-
ply to London criticisms, that there are not
many displays left at the fair. Not over a
hundred domestic exhibits remain, ana
they can be taken away whenever the own
ers are ready. The foreigners are re-
ceiving every courtesy. The Columbian
guards have simply been supplanted by

DIR. HOWARD GUILTY
The Swindler Convicted of All the
Charges Against Him.
He DenOunces the Verdict as an Out
rage, and Says He Will Speak
When Sentenced To-Day.

JACKSON, Tenn, Jan. 3.-After a trial
of twenty-nine days, the examination of
one hundred witnesses and the reading and
proving of several hundred letters, the Sec
ond trial of the Rev. DR.. Howard ended
to-day and the defendant stands convicted
as charged in all the counts. The charges
were using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses in carrying out a bogus business of
securing alleged claims upon English es-
tates for people in the United States. The
jury received the judges charge at s O'Clock
last night and, after one hours considera-.
ton, asked the court to adjourn until 9
o'clock this morning. Long before that
hour the small court room was crowded,
every one being anxious to hear the result
of the famous trial. The defendant and
his faithful wife arrived promptly. a little
later Judge Hammond came in and the
clerk formally opened the court. 1t was
announced that the jurors wished to SUBJ
NIT their report and, as the members of
tina body filed into the room silence reigned
and the eyes of the spectators were fixed
upon the defendant. In response to the
usual question from the judge the jurors
said they had agreed upon a verdict, finding
the defendant guilty as charged in all the
cunts.
The sace of the defendant plainly showed
his feelings when the announcement was
made. He had made a strong fight for his
liberty and had lost. Mr.. Canada, one of
his attorneys, promptly entered e. motion
for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, and
asked for time in which to arrange the mo-
ticn. This request was granted. DR.. How
ard was not sent to prison, but occupies
the judges room in the courthouse. where
his meals are carried to him. His devoted
wife is by his side cheering him with her
smiles. The motion for a new trial and in
arrest of Judgment will be argued and set
tied to-day. The sentence will also be pro-
nounced and the amount of bond fixed.
A reporter interviewed DIR. Howard to-
night. He said the verdict of the jurors
was an outrage and q great surprise to
him, and that there was no proof to sus-
tain their judgment. He said he would re-
serve his opinion until after sentence was
pronounced tomorrow. Then he would ex-
press himself fully and freely; that there
was not a %scintilla of proof to show that
his Jackson business was not fair and le-
Ultimate throughout.
The United States marshal arrested this
afternoon Edgar Smith, w. J. Gleason and
George Heatly, three of DIR. Towards New
York witnesses, charged with perjury. Be
Ing unable to give bond they went to Jail
TO await trial.

A KANSAS ..CHEsTNUT.,
LeweiIing Talks About IA Lease
Case-Mary Ellen Ousted for Good.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 3.-Governor LEVEL
ling returned from Leavenworth at noon to-
day and, upon his arrival at his Office this
afternoon, Immediately went into exc
cutive session with Frank Doster
on the Mrs. Lease case. His front
office was besieged, and after nu-
merous requests for an audience he sent out
the following: ''This talk about Mrs. Lease
and Governor Lewelling is getting to be a
chestnut. The people don't care very much
about individuals. No man or woman is
greater than the party he represents, and
Populists in particular are looking for good
government more than to uphold any man
or woman. Half thai is published about cur
rent politics in Kansas is false and made
from whole cloth. Now the statement that
an armistice had been declared or any kind
of understanding arrived at between Mrs.
Lease and myself is false. The numerous
reasons assigned for her removal are batch
number two. That / had telegraphed a men,
Der of the Federation of Labor to come to
Topeka so we could go to Leavenworth to
influence the action of the federation for or
againSt anybOdy'S interest is falSehood num-
Der three. The statement that Mrs. Lease
has employed Judge Doster is lie number
four. Lies are too abundant; life is too
short. Who goes up or who goes down in
politics makes very little difference If the
heaven-inspired principles of truth still go
marching forward. The leader or to-day is
the follower of tomorrow. The pilot is east
ly replaced; the ship is the same and moves
on"
w. J.. Close, the Governors private secre-
tary, declares positively that j. w. Free
born appeared at the Getting of the State
Board of Charities at Olathe and was duly
installed as a member. He says Mrs. Lease
was ousted, and that the board was reor-
ganized by the election of NJ A. House
holder to succeed Mrs. Lease as president.
This done, Carter was removed from the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the Deaf and Dumb
ASYLUM.
