An Amorous Lunatic,

Maiden, July "a Sylvester Baxter, ex-
secretary of the Metropolitan Park COM
mission, and at presentssonesof theYMalden
park commissioners, called at the police
station today and informed officer Costel-
10 that a man who appeared to be reli-
gious scrank had been bothering the
neighbors in the vicinity Of Murray
street, where Mr.. Baxter makes his home.
He said that when the man was found his
face would be more or less battered, the
result of an encounter with Mr.. Baxter's
servant girl. The man with the reli-
gious mania called at Mr.. Baxter's house
Monday forenoon while the girl was do
ing the family washing. He approached
her and asked if she wouldn't like to
kneel down and pray with him. The
girl told him to clear out, but the man
took hold of her and attempted to kiss
her. The girl seized the clothes stick she
was using and struck him several times
with it across the face, so that the blood
flowed freely. The man then escaped in
to the woods, and Mr. Baxter believes
that he will not trouble his house again
He describes the man as being about so
years of medium size and well dressed
He is believed to be the same man who
called at the city clerks office a<few days
ago for a license to preach on the streets.
The police will lock him up if he can be
found

DELUDED COLONlSTS.
Negro Colonists in Mexico in DepIorable
Condision.

Vashingt on, EJuly PA serious condi-
tin of affairs exists in the American me-
grp colony at. Tlahualao, Mexico. Mr.
Sparks, the United States consul at Pie
dris, Niagegras, today sent telegram on
ths subject to the State Department.
Nj. Sparks says the negroes left the colo
ny in body and a number of them are
located in camp under the surveillance
ofMexican soldiers. Some of those in
camp are afflicted with contagious diseas-
esand altogether their condition is de-
pbrable. The colonists are from Geor-
gh and Alabama, whence they emigrat-
ed after being given glowing accounts of
tfp fertility and fruitlfulness of the con-
cession granted their organizer, negro,
b3 the Mexican government. No action
IN the smatter has been taken. by the State
department. yet.
The officials after making an effort to
devise means to help the colonists looked
Into every law that might be construed
to give them authority TO use funds and
found it impossible to do So A later tel
egram from Consul Spark stated the ne
gIoes were scattered for miles without
food or funds. They were living on mos
quito Deans and branch water. Sparks
said he could do nothing for want of
money and added that he feared trouble
as the colonists were starving. The orig
inal dispatch said that he received tele-
gram from DR.. Barry of Terreon, Mexico,
dated July 49, which said that 1853 ne
groes from the colony were destitute at
that point, with fifteen cases Of contag-
ious diseases among them. The charge
de affairs OF the United States in the
City Of Mexico has been informed of the
Sae of affairs and has been instructed to
inquire into the treatmenB the colonists
are receiving. No funds are available to
the department, which can be applied to
maintain the destitute American citizens
other than seamen in foreign countries or
provide for their transportation home

Chicago, July:24. The last remnant of
life of the old Whiskey Trust was, upon

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Attempt to Blow Up Crowded Building
at.Scituate.

North Scituate, July PA dastardly
attempt was made last evening to break
up the meeting of a religious sect held in
Conehasset Hall. A dynamite cartridge
was exploded under the building. The
glass was shattered and sthe foundation
damaged Every one in the hall was bad
ly frightened. Several women tainted,
but fortunately no one was injured.
About year ago similar attempt was
made to wreck this building. At that
time the fuse failed to work. There is
intense Indignation in town over this lat
est outrage Mrs. Charles Tromer was con-
veyed to her home, where she lies in q
state of nervous exhaustion. The police
are investigating The hall has been
used for some time for series of evan
gelical meetings similar to those held for
the past two summers at Beechwood. 1t
has been the custom of some of the rough
element to go to the meetings and there
have been disturbances. At times the
offenders have been arrested, taken be-
for the court and lined.

Spanish onacers Disconnected.

London, July 24.-The Times, COM
menting on the situation in Cuba, says:
At every turn Gomez has outgeneraled
the Spaniards. The troops have suffered
harassing attacks from the insurgents
and still more from the climate. 1t is
not wonderful that the Spanish officers
are discontented over their leaders gen
eralship, although it is deplorable that
they do not keep their dissatisfaction to
themselves. Unless they can capture the
rebel chiefs it seems likely that the dis
aastrous struggle will be indefinitely pro-
longed.
The Times expresses sympathy with
too good a reason for profound dissatis-
faction with Spain. The paper urges that
reasonable concessions be made by Spain
to moderate Cuban autonomists.

Monterey has been cruising along the
Pacific coast from Cuballao and is now
due at Panama She carries a compile
ment of 17s men, with 10 officers, and
while not well equipped for shore duty
she can make a respectable showing
Cables recently printed of the threat
ened nature of the situation on the 18TH
mus have been confirmed at the State
Department.
Consul Josiah Pearcy, at Colon, wired
that the labor troubles son the Panama
railroad had become serious and that
naval vessel ought to be sent to Colon.
This cable was at once laid before Secre-
tary Herbert. The duty of the United
Safes is to protect the neutrality of the
isthmus and keeping the line of the Pan
anna railroad open for traffic is regarded
more important now, than ever. While
the Panama railroad is owned by the
Panama Canal Company, a French cor
poration, the Panama railroad company
has a New York State charter, and the
government at Washington jealousy
guards it's interest therein. 1t has no in
tention of allowing condition to arise
on the isthmus which would give the
French government an excuse for landing
marines at either Colon or Panama
Consul General Pearey's report does
not convey the idea that an Immediate
outbreak is threatened, but the presence
of American war vessels would have a
good effect The principal danger seems
to be at the Pacific terminus, owing
to a possible combination between the
Colombian insugents and the successful
Ecuadorian re7olutionists, headed by
Alfaro.

THE MlNNES OTA.
She Is Now in New York Acting as Re-
ceiying Vessel.

Boston, July 24.-For fully two years
the Naval Brigade, NJ. V. NJ, has been
endeavoring to obtain vessel for its
permanent use The old frigate Consti-
tuition, now at Portsmouth, N. H., was
particularly desired, and every effort was
made to secure her. but the opposition
from New Hampshire to her removal
to Boston could-not be overcome much
to tho disappointment of Captain Weeks
and his men.
Accordingly, it became necessary to look
about for some other ship, and the Jour
nal can now announce that there is a
strong probability that one excellently
adapted to the needs of the. Naval Mill
tia willIshortly be fitted out and sent to
Boston The vessel is the steam frigate
Minnesota
This handsome ship has for score of
years been doing duty at New York as
receiving ship for the training squadron,
serving as a recruiting depot for naval
apprentices She is much larger, how
ever, than is necessary for that duty,
which, 1t is believed in the Navy Depart
ment, could be performed equally well
and at much less expense by smaller
vessel, which it is intended shall replace
her at an early date, whereupon, after
the necessary repairs are made, the Min
nesota awill be towed to Boston and
turned sover to the Massachusetts Naval
Militia. This has been virtually promised,
Assistant Secretary McAdoo, on his re-
cent visit here, having nfo rm ed Captain
Weeks that it was his present intention
to do all that lay in his power to get the
Minnesota here as soon as possible.
The Minnesota is ship of the Wabash

as one of the finest war vessels adoat.

Her Fengines, it is true, are Anticipated,
yet they are sufficient to furnish opportu-
mites for instruction in the principles
and some details of marine engineering
Her former batteries has been almost
wholly removed, but remnant remains
in the shape of eight nine inch smooth
bores, one sixty FOUNDER, two three inch
and two twenty FOUNDER breech loading
rifles, and three twelve FOUNDER smooth
bore hoWitZers.
Like the Wabsah, the Minnesota is
housed over, and will furnish ample
quarters for the naval militia and all
their belongings. Her wide deckswill be
capacious enough for many drills. and
the nautical atmosphere surrounding
her will be a wholesome change from
the essentially military surroundings of
an armory on shore.
1t is thought that the Minnesota can be
fitted up and brought to Boston some
time during the coming winter or early
spring.

UNIONS FALL OUT.
Serious Trouble Reported from Strickers
At Fall River.

. Fall River, MASS, July PA serious
quarrel is on between the big textile un-
ions of this city, that now threatens to
grow to much larger proportions. The
strong spinners and weavers' unions is
directly involved and three others are
in fair way to be drawn into the squab-
BILE. The trouble had been beginning for
some yearssago when the spinners' wages
were dealt with by manufacturers of the
association regardless Of the wages paid
weavers or other unorganized operatives.

up little and as he swept by the half
the time was 1.01A. He showed that
he was behind time for two minute
gait. Geers did not pick him up on the
upper turn, but Cheerful was sent to
his flank. AS they dashed by the three
quarter in 1.3134, Cheerful came up
abreast. Geers piled the whip and with
Cheerful neck and neck they came down
to the wire. Geers was using all his pow
er to make new record, but it was use
less He went under the wire in q O2, the
second fastest mile ever paced in the
world.
