IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
by the Cumberland Presby- terians.

SELMA, March 18.-[Special. 1.-The Ala bama presbytery of the Cumberland Pres- byterian church will remain in session un- til Wednesday morning. The services yesterday were all pleasant, and were greatly enjoyed by the visitors and by large congregations.
 At Il o'clock Dr. W.J. Darby of Evans vile, Ind, preached powerful sermon on "Character Building.'' At it's conclusion the communion was administered, Rev. Dr. Hale presiding in most impressive manner.
 The evening service was set aside to the installation of Rev. J. J. Dalton as pastor of the Selma congregation. The church was filled with members of the cofgrega- tion and their friends.
 Rev. w. E. Witherspoon, editor of the Alabama Cumberland Presbyterian i, preached the installation sermon. He drew a comparison between the family and the church, showing that both were of di- vine origin aUd In their conduct and gov ernment should be similar. Some of his adaptations were beautiful.
 At the close of the sermon he conducted the installation service, which was very impressive.
 Dr. Darby then delivered the charge to pastor and people. In his remarks he took occasion to compliment the city of Selma upon its beautiful new church buildings aud upon its magnificent Young Mems Christian Association building, and con- graduated the congregation upon the com- pletion of their beautiful new house of worship.
 After the charge the members of the church gave the right hand of fellowship to their pastor. The service was closed with an impressive and appropriate prayer by Rev. Mir. ZwingIe of Birmingham.
 Alter the service many of the pastors friends, not members of his congregation, pressed around to congratulate him. During MT. Dalton 's'residence here he has endeared himself to all Christians regard less of denominations.

--7------------------ UP GOES SHOE LEATHER

AND PANIC AMONG MANUFACTURERS HN-
 SUES AS A CONSEQUENCE.
 BOSTON, Mass. March lS.--A Haverhill, Mass. special says: Anxiety and uneasi- ness were pictured on the conutenances of the local shoe manufacturers this morning as they rushed about in their endeavor to purchase sole leather at old figures. The price was recently advanced 2h cents per pound and the dealers notified their cus toners today tha. further advance of 3 cents had been made and there was almost panic among the smaller shoe manufac- torers in regard to the issuance of the no- tice.
 The rnanufe c.urers had been caught on the port side, as the advance has caused them mucn worriment, they having taken their orders at a small profit, and now the advance right in the middle of the busiest shoe season eyer known at this sea- son Of the year has swept away all their profits and they will have to nanufacture their goods at loss.
 The leather dealers claim that the ad- vance is due to the scarcity of hides, and they predict that the end of the advance in prices is not in sight. The local dealers have their stores well stocked with leather and will not be affected, but the advances In the prices mean much to the manutac- turers.

Adopted by President Gutierrez of
 Salvador
TO SUPPRESS A REBELLION
No GUTI Man Allowed to ES- cap SEzeta Fears the Fate
 Of His Children.

SAf aANcIsCo, March 18.-The steamer SatvJuI rom Panama brings details of the recs s. Salvadorlsn instruction. On the 1st February a conspiracy was discov- cred to proclaim Gen. Antonio EZsta presi- dent. AS soon as the facts came to light President Guiterez ordered the principal leaders shot. Among them were Colonels Delhno, Berroes and Fernando Salgedo and Captain Mangandi.
 The chief of police was shot immediately upon the discovery Of the. plot, and the whole city was thrown into stage of groat excitement, agents of the reigning govern ment arresting all of those who were thought to be concerned in the plot.
 The conspiracy seems to have originate in different departments of the republic, including employees of Guiterez who had turned traitors to him. All prisoners who were in jail since the last uprising were or dered to be hanged, and it Is supposed by this time that the order has been executed.
 The loyal people of Salvador became in- furiated upon the discovery of the con spiracy and Guiterez's followers repaired 10 the office of Col. Angel Vasquez and lynched him without barley.
 General Ezeta, who is here, is much wor- ried over his children. When he sent them away from San Francisco a month ago they were in charge of Madame Garz'a, his mother in law, who was instructed to go to Acapulco and wait for him under the protection of President Diaz. It appears that she went on to Salvador, where they are now, and Ezeta fears that they may be shot.

THE FIRST STEAMER
Containing African Bound Emigrants 10 Sail From Savannah Today-A
 Nashville Minister to Fight It.

SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18.-The steam ship Horsa will sail from Savan nah tomor- row for Monrovia, Liberia, with 200 emil grants, men, women and children. The emgrants, who are mostly from the neigh borhood of Memphis, Tenn., and Birming- ham, Ala, have been waiting here ten days for the ship. They are very enthusi- astic on the subject of Africa, which they declare to be the true home of all the sons of Ham.
 The Horsa came up the river this morn- ing and was greeted by immense crowds of negroes. The gates at the wharf at which she stopped had to be closed to keep the crowds of curious negroes out.
 The Horsa is 700-ton fruit steamer and has been newly ftted up with rough hunks and other temporary conveniences to con vert her into an emigrant ship. She passed rigid inspection by the customs officers this morning, who gave it as their opinion that the ship compiled with the govern ships.
 Rev. c. s. Smith of Nashville, promi- nent minister of the African Methodist church, is making a fight on the move- ment. He declares that the ship does not comply with the government regulations and will make an appeal to the collector of the port tomorrow to refuse her clearance papers. Rev. MT. Smith has been to Li- beria recently and gives very uniavorabie report of the state of affairs there. He considers the movement simply scheme upon the part of the white men to make money out of the ignorant negroes.
 The move is under the direction of the International Migration society, which has it's headquarters in Birmingham. The secretary, E. B. Cottingham, and two pany will make trips to Liberia on the

The United States conteuded that according to our treaty with Spain American citizens ac- cused of implication iu revolutionary plots shall be tried by civil courts if they are captured without arms on their persons. San Gully is accused by the revolutionists of being spy, and they have threatened to deal hardly with him if hc is set at lib- at.

NEW YoRK, March -18.-The Herald' s special from Key West, Fla, says: Pas sengers on steamer which arrived from Havana Saturday night brought news of reports in circulation of further depreda- tions by Spanish cruisers on American ves- sels along the Cuban coast.
 The latest report is to the effect that the Spanish gunboat Arcedo fired into aud sunk an American schooner of Puerto Del Padre. It is reported that the crew of the vessel, numbering sixteen persons, per- ished with it. It is not known whether the schooner had arms or carried an expedition for the Cubans. It was reported in Havana that the schooner had sailed from Key West. Inquiries, however, failed to show flat any boat was missing or unreported except those engaged in legitimate trade. Many sailed recently for the West Indian ports with fruit cargoes. Puetro Del Padre is a point on the northeast coast of Cuba, I, latitude 21 degrees 17 minutes, longitude 76 degrees 42 minutes. It has long and narrowed entrance and offered excellent anchorage.

POOR DELUDED TOOLS Of a Party That Would Like 10 Handlo the Government
OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA
Sander the People and Off, Cials in a Card to New
 York Papers.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The following g statement was given out today:
 AsroR HOUSE.
 NEW YORK, March IS, 1895. ] To the Press of New York City:
 The de facto governor of Ala bama, Colo nel Oates, has made public through the press certain statements regarding tue fnancial condition of Alabama, which we, in justice to a common sense of honesty, feel 1t duty to refute. The inference oue would have from his interviews, in which he states that the credit of Alabama is go good, would be that the state is now in a peaceful and prosperous condition, this not being the case.
 The facts are that under tn @ preceding administration the government of Ala bana beca me in such straits that the then de facto governor, Thomas e. Jones, re- commended that the taxes be raised to meet the existing deficiency. H. also, without authority of law, borrowed money to prevent a crisis. Since Colonel Oates was seated de facto governor by soldiers, with forty rounds of cartridges bucked around their waists, bis counted-in ad- ministration has found it necessary to not only raise the tax "a t, but also to provide a new and unjust revenue law to attempt to save the state from impending bankruptcy. II such conditions make the good credit of state, then it may exist for Alabama, but business men will deem it otherwise, and especially when great majority of the . people of Alabama do not now recognize Colonel Oates as the legally elected gover- nor of the state.
 Alabama's de facto governor is engaged in playing new und unique role. Usually people come to New York city to get bun coed; now Colonel Oates is here eDdeayor- ing to bunco the financiers Of Wall street into purchasing Alabama bonds when there is such growing defency in the state treasury and when it Is with effort that the people are restrained from opsn rebellion against the present fraudulent de facto administration. County officers who handle the state revenue have been re- tained in office and protected from prose- cution after 1t is matter of common re- port they are defaulters of public funds; thus 1t Is evident that those whose way into office is stolen by prostituting the bal lot box cannot be trusted with the custody of the peoples money. Hence the great demand for ballot reform in the south.

tr.ct of Tennessee, presented the single question of the jurisdiction of the federal court to appoint a receiver and take rail- road property out of the possession of a re- ceiver appointed by the state court. MT. Justice Brewer, for the supreme court, said 1t had pot this power, and the case was remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings not inconsistent with that opinion.
 Mir. Justice Brown announced the opin- ion aud judgment of the court upon the ap- peal of J. T. Stokes aud eight others con- vIcted in the Southern district of Alabama for conspiring to use the mails of the United States for an unlawful purpose. There were fourteen indicted for partici- paling in the conspiracy, nine of whom were convicted. Their scheme was to order goods from merchants in distant cities without intention to pay for them, certifying to one another's financial ability and reputation. The. records presented only questions affecting the indictment and the admission of evidence on the trial. Error was not found in respect of either, and the judgment of the court below was afHrn

A HORRIBLE FIND.

BUTTE, Neb., March 18.-Mrs. w. E.. Holton, living in Reyapana county, near Brooksburg, was outraged and hanged on Tn ursday last and her body was discovered yesterday. The crime is supposed to have been committed by ruetlers of the anti. giving testimony which would lead to the conviction of some cattle thieves. Her body was found lying in room with a rope around her neck, and there was evi- dence that she had been outraged also. She was living alone at the time, her husband having been sent to the insane asylum. This is the section of the state near the scene of the Barrett Scott tragedy. There is great excitement and talk of lynching. No arrest yet.
