AN ACRoBATIC PARsoN.-The pastor
of the Methodist church here is Rev.
William Butts, says Patriot, O., tcle-
gram. He is man of many eccentri-
cities aud was recently arrested on a
charge of lunacy, tried at Portsmouth
and dismissed. Often, while preaching,
he would leave the pulpit and run
through the aisles. He has locked the
congregation in and preached for three
hours. His latest freak was at the
morning service Sunday. In the
midst of his sermon he walked to the
platform in the front of the pulpit,
laid the Bible on the floor and stood on
it on his head, balancing himself by the
aid of table to which he clung. In
this position he continued for several
minutes, preaching all the time. IN
his private life he is rational in his con-
duct and shows no signs of insanity.

BURNED HER RIVAL TO DEATH
During a drunken quarrel early Sunday
morning between Bridget German, 25
years old, and Eliza Began, 80 years
old, women occupying apartments in
the Chinese quarter, New York, the
latter threw lighted kerosene lamp at
her rival, which, striking the woman,
was smashed to pieces, scattering burn
ing oil over her entire body. The
woman's clothing was literally burned
from her body and she died in great
agony in less than twenty minutes.
The Began woman made her escape,
but was captured later in a lodging
house on the Bowery.

WON THEIR FIGHT.
Protest of the Wholesale Butcher,
Before the Supervisors.

Protest of the Wholesale Butchers
Before the Supervisors.
Jefferson James and other wholesale
butchers protested to the Health and Po-
lice COMMITTEES of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday against the proposed amend
ment to confscate the carcasses OF cattle
that die in transit to Butchertown.
They argued that it would be unjust to
the owners, because every carcass was
worth SO. He said reputable butchers did
not sell unwholesome meat, and that it
would be an easy matter for the Health
Inspectors to prevent the sale of the car
cass OF an animal that died in transit. Mr..
James said it would be necessary for the
inspectors only TO exercise little more
care and vigilance. AS soon as the dead
animal arrived the inspector at South San
Francisco could be notified by the one that
discovered the carcass, and it would then
be easy to prevent the meat from being put
upon the market.
Health Inspector Lovelace urged that
the amendment be adopted in order to in
sure every protection TO meat-consumers.
Chairman Benjamin of the committee
advised the Health Officer to call the at
tention OF the police to the fact that they
were cI-oficio health inspectors, and re-
quest them to assist the Health Depart
ment to prevent the sale on cattle that had
not been properly butchered.
The committee Of wholesale butchers
went away very well satisfied with their
work
