IN PRAYER.
A Judge Decides Against a Minister Who
Was Sued by a Lady.

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 3.-Judge
Clark has overruled the demurrer in
terposed by Rev. j. @. Campbell in the
suit charging him with slandering Miss
Tesea L Kelso, the librarian of the Los
Angeles public library. The basis of
the action was a prayer offered by the
defendant before his congregation in
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
in which he said: "Ob, Lord, vouch
safe Thy saving grace to the librarian
Of the Los Angeles city library and
cleanse her of all sin, and make her a
woman worthy of her chce."
Rev. Mr.. Campbell in his demurrer
took the position that his statement
ives privileged.
The court held that a Islander can be
perpetrated in the form of a prayer as
readily as in any other form of speech,
and that no communication made by
parson or priest to his congregation is
privileged because of such relation, I'm
less, perhaps, when made in the dis
charge of his pastoral duties with one
subject to the discipline of the church,
and then only unlts made without
malice.

YELLOW FEVER APPEARS.
Sixteen Spanish Soldiers in Havana
Stricken With the Scourge

TAMPA, Fla, April "a passenger
arriving on the steamer from Havana,
Cuba, yesterday says $50 soldiers out
of a battalion which recently arrived
there are now in the hospital, and six
teen of them are down with yellow
fever, and great mortality is expected.
All telegraph wires in the Santiago

garded in Havana as significant.
RIGID PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FEVER.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The authori-
ties charged with the conduct of quar-
antine matters, and the general super
vision of public health, are keeping up
q sharp lookout to prevent the impor-
tation OF yellow fever into the United
States. The care that ia being exercised
by all quarantine officials is illustrated
by the action of the New York officials
Sunday, in ordering the Portuguese
Prince" back to quarantine for disinz
lection, because the fireman had died
under suspicious circumstances. This
too, in the face of the clean bill OF
health by the quarantine officials OF
that port and the United States Con
sui. The regular quarantine begins the
first of May. All quarantine stations
are being thoroughly equipped, and

stricken vessels are being placed under
charge of physicians of experience, and
assisting forces that have dealt with
fever In the past. The three large
quarantine stations are as follows:
South Atlantic Station, at Blackbeard's
Island, Sapolo Sound, near Aberdeen,
Ga, Gulf Station, at Snip Island, off
Biloxi, Miss {; and Key West Station,
at Dry Tortuges. There is also a very
complete station at Brunswick, Ga,
but it does not compare in point OF
equipment and ability to care for yell
low fever ships with the three just
named.
The insurrection in Cuba causes the
condition of affairs to be unpleasant for
health officials to consider. Marine
hospital officials declare that the ship
ment of several thousand new Spanish
troops into Cuba at this. SEASON of the
year, non acclimated, is bound to pre-
cipitate an epidemic of yellow FEVER,
the ill effects Of which must In degree
more or lees severe, be felt In this
country. They also fear that Cuban
towne, especially Havana, will be over
T11n with country people, seeking to
escena the cOntending forces engaged
in continuing OF s~uppressing the war;
ard that as a consequence b precau-
tions will be even more neglected tnan
ever before. Plans are being perfected

tingency.

FILLED WITH FEAR.
Thirteent Hundred Persons Quit Work
Because of a Prediction.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 2 A singular
case of superstition affecting several
hundreds of people appeared here yes
terday. Some time ago a woman mind
reader predicted there would be an ex-
plosion in the Saquoit silk mills by
which a hundred of the girls employed
there would be killed.
Six hundred girls yesterday morning
quit work almost as soon as the mill
opened,
The dread of the impending explosion
spread to the hands at work in the
Meadowbrook silk mill, the Harvey silk
mill, and a button and wooden factory
nearby, and 700 hands from these estab-
lishments quit work for the day, max
ing a total of 1900 people who lost a
days wages on account of a charletan.

FIFTEEN KILLED

And Many Others Injured in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, La April 5 An ex-
plosion of powder in Chaa. J. Salathe's
store, Decatur and Ursuline streets, at
2 o'clock this morning wrecked the
store and the FIsherman's Exchange
saloon adjoining. Fifteen persons were
killed and many injured. At 4 o'clock
the following bodies were removed:
Charles J. Salathe and wife, Josepth
Grinaldi, Mike Biri and Felix Riga.
Fire followed the explosion. The street
in front of the store was lined with
market wagons. The drivers were
hurled from their seats and their wares
blown to the four winds. A child of
Salathe's astonished everybody by
walking cut of the wreck in it's night
clothes after the engines had been at
work on the remains for five minutes.
The little one had been sleeping in a
bed room directly over the scene of the
exclusion.

NEW YORK, April 8 "A special. from
Kingston, Jamaica, to the Rerald says:
The British steamer Ethelred. while
on her way from Boston, Mass, to
Port Antonio. Jamaica, and when off
Cape Nays, Cuba, was fired upon by
a Spanish gunboat, @%~
The Ethelred stopped ard was
boarded and examined by officers Of
the gunboat, after which she proceeded
on her voyage.
The Eethelred, Captain Hopkins, left
Port Antonio, Jamaica, for Boston,
Mass. on March 10Th, and arrived in
Boston on March Goth.
She cleared and sailed for Port An
tonic the next day, and it Was probably
while on this voyage that she was fred
on and stopped by the Spanish gunboat.
The Ethelred tRkes the same course
through the Windward Passage as thai
taken by the Alliance, and it is likely
she was stopped near the spot where
the American steamer was fired upon.
PRACTICALLY AN AMERICAN SHIP.
WASHINGTON, D. @, April 3.-Com-
missioner Chamberlain, of the Treasury
Bureau of Navigation, says that the
Ethelred, reported as having been fired
upon, halted and searched by a Span
ish cruiser off Cape Maysi, Cuba, is
practically an American vesssl, though
she flies the British ensign. She is en-
gagged in the fruit trade, and plies be-
tween Boston and Cuban ports. The
vessel was built in England, but it is
owned in Boston. AS the vessel ives
built abroad, by our laws she could
not sail under the American flag,
though owned here. No report of the
incident has been received either by
the State Department Or by the Spanish
Legation.

Climatic Influence ON Health.

1t cannot be denied that the influence
of climate upon health is great, and it is
in recognition of this fact that physi.
clans send patients suffering with pull.
monary diseases to great distances for
"change of air" But when the sufferer
happens to be TOO poor to act upon the
advice his lot is hard, indeed. But it is
not necessarily hopeless. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery can be had at
any medicine store, and to it thousands
whose cases were considered desperate
owe their lives
Up to certain point in the progress Of
Consumption, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery is positive remedy. But
delay is dangerous with Consumption.
In all the conditions that lead to it, the
Discovery" is the remedy. With severe
lingering Coughs or Weak Lungs, nothing
acts so promptly. Every disease that can
be reached through the blood yields to
this medicine. The Scrofulous affections
of the lungs that's called Consumption Is
one of them. For this, and for every
other form of Scrofula for all blood
taints and disorders and all chronic
Bronchial, Throat, and Lung affections,
the discovery" is the only remedy SO
certain that, once used, it is always in
favor.

THE ast Congress passed several Inn
pOrtant acts on the subject of pensions,
directly in the interest Of the old sols
,diers, and against the unfriendIy policy
of the present Administration. One OF
these acts provides that So per month
shall be the lowest pension for any form
sions of lower amounts will be raised to
that figure, and that the mockery of pay
has proved his right TO a pension will
cease to exist. Another act repeals the
ssioDs to non residents; and another au-
thorizes postmasters TO administer oaths
In pension cases, thus relieving many
pensioners of the trouble and expense
of making long journeys to secure their
money. But the most advantageous of
all is one which declares pension to
be a vested right. This means that pen
.sions are not to be modified, suspended
or abrogated at the caprice of Com
missioner Of Pensions, or for the promo
,tion of political designs 1t will not be
possible hereafter for a Democratic Ad
ministratiOn to repeat the outrage of ar
bitrarily depriving nearly 10000 soldiers
'of their pensions; but in all cases of pro-
posed suspension, thirty days notice
must be given to the pensioner, with
the privilege of furnishing testimony to
asubsbantiate his claim, the presumption
sOf the law being in his favor instead of
against him. Not one of these acts was
recommended by President Cleveland or
suggested by his Commissioner of PEN
sions. Their passage was compelled by
the force Of public opinion, and they
stand as q direct and striking rebuke to
the Admins tration. Even a Democratic
Congress could not resist the pressure of
sentiment against the policy under which
so many disabled and dependent veterans
of the Union army had been wronged out
of the small sums granted them on ac-
count of mtsfortunes incurred in the
service of their country.

SAVED BY 4 FLAW.
An Alleged rhirvlng Banker May Neverbe

one of his attorneys, moved that the panel
of jurors be quashcd on the ground that it
had been illegally drawn. He showed
that when the present jury commissioners
were installed, last January, the oath to
which they subscribed did not include the
phrase that they would select all jurors
without hatred, malice or will" as re-
quired by the act of assembly, and that
this omission was fatal to their qualifca-
tions to draw jurors.
Judge Brubaker regarded the point well
taken, and declared Smiths trial off The
defendent, who is nearly 80 years old, was
convicted at the last term of court of re-
ceiving deposits after he knew that his
bank was insolvent the conviction hav-
ing been secured mainly by tho testimony
of his partner, c. E. Graybili. Sentence
had not been passed pending a motion for
new trial
There are numerous other indictments
against the banker, but Judge Brubaker
having intimated that he considered them
defective, the district attorney is engaged
in framing new ones. If, however, the
present grand jury is incompetent, new
indictments will have to go before the
next ensuing grand jury, after the com
missioners have been properly sworn. BY
that that time, however, the statute of
limitations would intervene to save Smith
from trial,

grocer of Bueycito, Manuel Reitor and an
old man named Vicana, who fought
against the rebels in the last revolution,
have been murdered by rowing insurgents
The town of Palma Soriana, province
of Santiago de Cuba, was attacked by in
surgents, who were repulsed and pursued
by body of troops. The rebels found
refuge in the mountains The troops dis
covered the place where their camp had
been located, and found dead rebel in it,
A number of weapons were captured. Evi-
dence confirming the reports of the death
of the rebel chief, Manofrita, was found.
Three of the government force were
wounded in consequence of not carrying

Senor Dupuy de Lome the newly ap-
pointed Spanish minister to the United
States, arrived here last evening. Senior
de LONE made the voyage from Spain with
Marshal de Campos and left him at San
tiago de Cuba proceeding to this port on
the steamer Maria Christina. 1t is ex-
pected that he will proceed for New York
on Saturday, after making an investiga-
tion into the Alliance affair.
Private advices from the province of
Santiago de Cuba show that the forces of
the insurgents do not amount to nearly
the number claimed by the rebels. Among
the leaders of the various bands are EN-
lilo Giral, white man, who commands
200 men; Alfonso Goulet, mulatto, 500;
Bernardo Camacho, white, 100; Victoriana
Garzen, white, 400; Luis BOnne, mulatto,
200; Eduardo Dominguez, white, 200; Vic
toriano Hierrezuelo, mulatto 300; Quin-
tin Bandera, negro, 1000, and Perico
Periz, white 1000, total of $500 men. OF
this number 1900 are said to be armed
with rifles, while the others use shot guns
and machetes as weapons. The rebels do
not possess a single piece of artillery.
Considerable excitement has been caused
by the fact that the rebels are again resort
ingto incendiary tactics, which caused such
enormous losses to the planters during the
last insurrection. The central plantation,
Dos Amigos two friends), the property of
| Senior Nicolas Castano situated on the
coast near Manzanillo, has been burned by
the rebels. Two million arrobas of sugar
! cane were destroyed The advices do not
show whether the machinery of the plant
alton was destroyed These central fac
| tories contain very expensive machinery,
crushers, vacuum pans, centrifugals, ETC.,
and should the rebels burn many of Chem
| the loss would be enormous.
! 1t is stated on good authority that the
troops commanded by Colonel Santocilde
have cooped up band of insurgents in
the mountains in the province of Santiago
de Cuba and that their capture is only a
question of short time. The rebels are
making stout defense, and very hot
| fire is being exchanged.

Two YEARS ago "oil in sight" was over
sixteen million barrels. Last year it was
nearly ten millions. This year it is
rather less than five millions, and this
seems to account for the change in price.
There was so much in sight formerly tha
prices were down and production was dis
couraged, because there was not much
money in it. But now the picture is
changed. Upon the enormous difference
an the regular supply follows an enormous
difference in price. When oil goes from
so cents barrel up to 50 every man whose
land lies in the oil-producing region
wonders if in this change there may not
be something for him and begins to bore
holes. This appears to be the state of af.
fairs now in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. Prospectors have given up
their ancient hunt for oil in those regions
when oil got to point at which it would
hardly pay to work any but great wells.
Now it has begun again, and there is nc
doubt that abundant new sources will be
found.
