ANGRY SEAS

London, Nov. 10.-A violent southwest.
-erly gale prevailed at Queenstown
throughout Saturday and Sunday, ac.
companied by heavy seas. While an
chOring in the harbor the Cunard steam
ship Campania's hawse pipe snapped and
she lost her anchor and between 30 and
40 fathoms of chain. The hose pipe was
also fractured. After repairs the Cam
pania proceeded at 6:30 this evening.
The gale was still so severe that the ten
der could not come alongside the steamer
at Cork and the pilot was taken to New
York. The British ship St. Mungo, Cap
tain Hamilton, from San Francisco, ar
rived in tow, broke from her mornings
and was blown to the eastern bank,
where she grounded. Two tugs are still
at work trying to float her. II. NJ. S.
Speedy and Halcyon and many other YES
sells are now sheltering in the harbor.

NEWS FROM CUBA.

Tampa, Nov. 10.-Passengers arriving
from Cuba tonight say Colonel Regio,
in an engagement eight days ago near
Cumayagua Cienfuegos, captured six
teen prisoners. Regio notified the Span
ihs authorities to send for them. The
authorities dispatched company of cav
airy under Captain Rios, two lieutenants,
a doctor and priest, who received the
prisoners from. Regio and gave him
formal receipt for them. Radical Span
iards are greatly displeased with Valla
for treating with the insurgents and prac-
tically recognizing them as belligerents.
They would rather see the prisoners die.
The forces of Colonel Molina had an
engagement with Locretias insurgent
forces in Las Vegas last Thursday. A
passenger stated that the Spaniards who
were in the engagement told him Mo-
lima and $50 soldiers were killed, but
that censored papers the next morning
announced that but one officer and Iii
soldiers had been killed.

JOHN CHINAMAN KILLED
By the Father of the Girl He Attempted
to Assault.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Lin Dock Dunn, a
Chicago laundryman on South Halsted
street, was shot and killed this morning
by the father of a young girl whom he
had attempted to assault. The identity
of the man who did the shooting is at
present known to no one outside his own
family except George A. Trude, whom
he retained as his attorney. Mr. Trude
notified Sergeant Broderick of the Cen
trail station to call his detectives off of
the search for the murderer and prom
ised to produce the man who did the
shooting at the coroner's inquest tomor-
row morning.
Mr.. Trude refuses to give the name of
his client and will only say that he is a
thoroughly respectable man. 1t appears
that the young girl had been sent to the
laundry to get some washing that had
been left there. The Chinaman attempt
ed to take liberties with the girl, who had
a hard struggle to escape. She reported
the matter to her father and the enraged
man at once went to the laundry and
shot the celestial dead.

TOO MANY TOWNS OF THE SAME
NAME

Assistant Postmaster-Gener Jones's
pet fad is the reform of names of post
offices throughout the United States. He
wants to cut down names to words of
one syllable, if possible. Failing in that,
he wants to cut the name down to one
word. He also desires to prevent, as far
as possible, the duplication of postoffice
names in the different States. He does
not expect to accomplish this, but hopes
to prevent an increase of Implications. 1t
is painful to him to find that there are q
Springfelds in the United States. If Mr..
Jones remains in office long enough he
hopes to work an improvement in this
particular feature of the postal AFFAIRS

A BLOW FROM A DEAD HAND.
Gruesome Experience as Related by the
Engineer of Flyer.

Seeing the picture of that dead man in

gineer of Denver, Col, at the Kimball

there is nothing similar in the two cases I;
but it does and | will relate the incident.
1t occurred when | was running a night
train on the Santa Fe road, back in the
'70s. This particular night had been
stormy and threatening, and the flashes
of lightning were frequent and intense.
We were running ahead of our schedule
in order to make a siding in time to allow
an extra to pass us, and were travelling,

miles an hour. / was sitting with my
face close to the forward window of the

brilliant blaze of electricity n mans arm
and head suddenly burst with great
force through the glass and the hand
struck me squarely in the face. was
dazed for an instant by the blow, and
held blindly to the side of the cab. My
first thought was that some tramp was
trying to hold up my train to rob the pas
sengers, and acting on this idea seized
my wrench from its place and dealt the
head of the intruder blow with all my
might.

man, shut off the steam and we slowed

His entire body below the arm was gone.

one side and the head and arms flying
straight through the cab window.-At-

IsHor BoNAcuM,s TRouBLEs.
athers Murphy and Fitzgerald Air Their
Gtieyances in the Press.


Omaha, Neb, Nov. 1O.-The # IRIS of
the Catholic church in the West have
taken startling turn through the diff
culries Of Bishop Bonacum.
Injunction was refused thn bishop in
The hrst Nebraska court against 'athers
Fitzgerald, and Murphy to force them
% surrender their church property at
Tecumseh. These priests represent the
element opposed to the bishop and today
made public an open letter to the editor
of the Bee replying to the Associated
Press communication of last week from
Monsignor Satollis private secretary.
The letter asserts that when DIR. Rocker
said nothing was known officially at
washington of the situation in the Ne
braska church he deliberately misrepre-
scented the case.
Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy claim
to have DR.. Rockers receipts for a num-
Der of papers filed in the case. They de-
mand an explanation. Concluding, the
letter says:
I'VE have received many letters from
the delegate reversing sentiment against
us by the bishop of Lincoln. Are the
seals and signature genuine or forged? If
they are genuine, how is it that DIR.
Rocker says that nothing is known Off
cially at the delegation about these mat
tiers. If forged, what are the conditions
surrounding the delegation at Washing
ton by which such conduct is made nos
sible? And yet DR.. Rocker is an honest
priest"
The district court yesterday relied
Bishop Bonacum's petition for an iniunc-
ton restraining the priests from further
occupying the Catholic church property.

PAID THE CHURCH DEBT.
How Band of Statesmen Responded to
a Colored Pastors Appeal.

We arrived at Beaufort on Sunday
morning. The town then was full of CON
trabands. We remained there that day.
and received an invitation from n negro
preacher to attend religious services Mt
his new meeting house. About fifteen or
twenty OF the party went to the meeting
house, new unfinished skeleton-fram
house of considerable size, without any
plastering-a mere shell. We were
shown to seats that had ben reserved for
us. The rest of the congregation were
negroes in every kind of dress and of
every shade of color. The scene was very
interesting, but the sermon of the preach
er was little better than gibberish. He
was quaint old man, wearing goggles
and speaking dialect we could hardly
understand. At the close of his sermon
he narrated how the meeting house had
been built; that John had hauled the logs,
Tom, Dick and Harry, naming them.
had contributed their labor, but they were
in debt something over $500. and, with a
significant glance at our little party, he
thought this was good time to take up
a collection. No sooner was this said
than Cameron, whispering to us, said
Lets pay it; I'll give 500 And when
the hat came around instead of the usual
dimes and quarters in ragged currency,
it received greenbacks of good denomina-
tions. In the meantime the old preacher,
highly elated, called upon the audience to
sing John Browns Body" A feeble
piping voice from an old negro woman
started the singing, and the rest of the
negroes, with loud, melodious voices,
joined in, and, before it was through the
rest of us joined in. The hat was then
returned to the preacher, who found that
it contained more than $50 in excess of
the amount necessary to pay off the
debt. Then, with many thanks to us by
the preacher, the audience was requested
to remain standing until their visitors
left.-From John Sherman's Recollec.

THE YEsTIBuLEp MOTOR CARS.

THE YESTIBULED MOTOR CARS.
Some of the new electric street car COM
panies in and around Chicago are intro
ducing vestibuled motor car which
renders exposure unnecessary. These
vestibuled motors contain an inclosed
space in front where the motorman is
protected in inclement weather, without
interfering with his ability to properly
guide the car. There are windows in
front of the vestibuled space, which may
be opened or closed, according to the
weather. 1t is only when new cars are
required that these vestibuled improve
ments come into use. All the old cars
that have been transformed into motors
are without this protection, and have
simple platforms without sides or glass
fronts.
There are several instances where the
vestibuled cars have been successfully
operated for years. Duluth, Mimi, has
changed it's former horse cars to the YES
tibuled pattern of motor cars with great
success. 1t is claimed that the old cars
can be remodeled into vestibuled motors
at slight expense.-From the Chicago
Chronicle.
