A Mass Meeting Held in Protest Against
Sunday Opening.
NEW YORK, March 18.-A mass meet
ing was held in the Park Avenue Meth
odist church last night to protest against
the opening of saloons on Sunday. The
meeting was addressed by the Rev. DR..
John Hall, ex-Judge Noah Davis, DR..
James King, A J. Palmer, and Rev. Fer
dinand Englehart, pastor of the church.
Ex-Judge Davis said in the course of
his speech: 81 felt that the last election
was great triumph for virtue. justice
and truth. l felt that the people had a
chance to set their foot upon the saloon.
From my forty years of judicial expert
ence, pronounce eight-tenths of crime
due to the saloon. What right has the
liquor interests of all other avocations
to ask to do business on Sunday?"
At the 18th street M. E. church, the
pastor, Rev. ]. A. B. Wilson, spoke of
the mass meeting for Sunday saloons in
Cooper Union Thursday evening and
denounced Rev. DR.. Rainford and DR..

A Woman Living Alone is AS

Cattle Rustlers Supposed to

The Woman Knew Too Much
About Their Doings.

OMAHA, March 18-A special to the
Bee from Butte, Neb., says: Mrs. ". E.
Holton of Keya Paha county was found
dead in her home last night by neigh
bors. She had been lynched. Her body
was lying on the floor with a piece of
rope about ten feet long and Ratchet
and a hammer beside her. The coroner
was summoned and an autopsy showed
that she had died OF. strangulation and
had also been assaulted.
The woman was living alone, as her
husband had been sent to an insane asy-
lum. It is supposed the motive Of the
lynching was to prevent the woman from
giving testimony against cattle rustlers,
as she had been summoned as a witness
against gang of thieves in the county.
She had borne good reputation.
It was evident that she had fought q
hard fight for her life and her honor, as
the bedding and clothing were torn and
scattered around the room.

THERE is no longer room for do ubting
that Donald Cameron of Pennsylvania
is candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency in 1896. He is
at present at Harrisburg endesvoring to
obtain an endorsement Of his silver views
by the legislature of his state. If he sue
ceeds in this, he will doubtless be able to
enter the national convention with the
big deleg alton Of the Keystone state at

views Of the masses of the Republican
party on the money question than any
other prominent member of the party in
the country.
