GEORGE JACOB SWINEFURTH.
The Bogus Messiah Before the Courts
 For Alleged Crookedness.

ROCKFORD, ILL, Oct. 22.-The trial of George Jacob Schwinefurth, the .Messiah, was begun before Judge Cartwright, of the Circuit Court, today. Long before the open ing of the court the courtroom and corridors were crowded with the curious, mingled with the score of
 witnesses summoned by the State
 and the sprinkling of the angles
 who had fluttered in from George
 Jacobs heaven. The letter, how
 ever, seem more disposed to remain in the seclusion of the heaven than to appearing in an earthly court. The bogus Messiah will be con- fronted by several of his apostles, who have deserted the heaven and | incidentally promised the States Attorney a complete eXposal of the ways and methods of their former lord and master. Meanwhile the
 latter has engaged Ex-Congressman Lathrop and City Attorney Webb to defend him, and the prospects
 are good for an interesting and
 sensational time during the next few days.

LAST OF A SCHOONER.
Ran Ashore on the Lakes and Two
Sailors Drowned.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Two or per-
haps more OF the crew of the
schooner John Raber were drown
ed last night when the vessel
grounded near Whiting, Ind. Their
names are not known. The South
Chicago life saving crew went to
the scene Of the wreck with all
possible haste but did not arrive
in time to save all the men on
board. The schooner was lumber
laden Yesterday forenoon about
10 o'clock the John Raber was seen
by tug three or four miles from
South Chicago standing to the
east under sail. No signals were to
be seen and the proceedings of the
vessel were somewhat strange, as
there is no place where the Raber
could land her cargo south of Cal
umet. AS there was no visible call
for assistance, the tug turned back
to the harbor. Shortly afterward
the Raber was stripped Of all the
canvas except the stay sail and
under this she continued south.
Then came the Information that
she had gone ashore. 1t has been a
matter OF history among lake men
that whenever a vessel or steamer
goes ashore on the sands at the
head Of Lake Michigan che rarely
escapes, il there is mukh sea run
ming. The shifting saSds inclose
the hull and the waves wash the
bow and stern so that in short
space OF time the vessel is held en-.
tirely in the center and breaks up
through the motion Of the water.
The John Raber is one OF the old.
est schooners in the lakes and has
had an eventful history. She was
built in Cleveland in lS4S which
makes her AZ years old She meas
ures 223 gross tons and long since
lost any rating in the inland
Lloyd's register.

Kansas Prairie Fires.

INDEPENDENCE, Kas., Oct. L.
Prairie fires are raging in the ter
ritory south of here. The late
rains have caused the vegetation
to grow very rank and the terri
tory is covered by an immense
growth of grass, reaching in some
places as high as eight feet. The
frosts of the last week have caused
the grass to begin to die. 1t is
feared that loss of life and property
will result.

TIRED OF THE NEGRO.
South Carolinians Will Attempt To
Deprive Him of bis Suffrage.

New YORK, Oct. IA special to
the World from bis, S. c.,
says: Five OF the six Negro dele
gates to the South Carolina con-
stitutional convention which pro-
poses to disfranchise the blacks,
have Joined in an address to the
North, through the World. The
address says, among other things:
"The seventh constitutional con-
vention called in South Carolina is
in session. 1t has been called for
the purpose Of dealing with the
Negro problem. Those who have
advocated its assembling have been
explicit in their declaration OF the
purpose to be accomplishments
disfranchisement of the Negro and
the elimination Of him entirely,
not from a participation in cleo
tions, for he has not, since 1886,
had any show at all in any OF the
elections held in the state, but Of
the possibility OF the Negro uniting
with the conservative Democratic
faction, and thus GUST from place
and power those now in control Of
the government. The chief obstacle
in the way of accomplishing what
is desired is the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Fed
eral constitution. This difficulty
removed, there will be plain sail
ing. The Hon. Benjamin r. Till
man, who is at the head and front
Of the movement, has not been at
all polite or hypocritical as to his
intentions. He has said that his
object is to disfranchise as many
Negroes as he car, without disfran-
chising single white man, except
for crime"

NEW YORK, Oct. IA special
to a local paper from Panama
says: Gen. Casabanico intended
to leave the isthmus Tuesday but
postponed his departure in obedi-
ence to official advices from
Bogota.
The report is officially confirmed
that Gen. Reyes, secretary to the
government, is at Buga, in the
Cauca department, with about
$500 men.
Gen. Miguel Montoya has been
appointed chief of the Pacific coast
army between Buenaventura and

Gen. Dominguea, recently APP
pointed Colombian minister to
Quito, never reached his point. 1t
is reported now that he is chief of
the south division of the army, on
the Ecuadorean frontier.
The gunboat Boyaca is instruct
ed to run between Buenaventura
and Tumaco.
These dispositions are said to be
precautionary against Ecuador but
are not apparently justified by the
affairs of Ecuador and they are in
compatible with President CARTS
message of September 16 and also
with Alfaro's assurance of neutral
ity and evident desire to respect
the rights of Ecuador's neighbors.

CHAPTER ON LEMONS.
Present High Prices To Be Broken
in a Few Days.

in a Few Days.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The British
tramp steamer Sylvia, from Mes
sina and Palermo, has just brought
26,900 boxes of lemons to this port.
Owing to the entire failure Of the
Florida crop, together with short
production in Sicily, lemons have
jumped to $l025 box and $l2 90 a
case. A box holds from 100 to $50
lemons, and a case just as many,
only the fruit in the latter is larger
and finer. In a day or two the
steamer Victoria, from Malaga,
Spain, is due with $4,000 boxes Of
lemons. Prices will then drop
again. The nominal rate is from
$500 to 81. 90 a box. Not since 1888,
when, owing to very small crops in
Italy and Spain, lemons sold at
SIG 90 a box, have they been so
high as within the last thirty days.
Yet, fruit men say this years in
voices are only about ten per cent
less than last year. In the early
part of the season there was sur
plus in the market, while the Au-
gust supply ran short $50, 900 boxes.
Last year Florida supplied New
York with 10000 boxes, and the
total consumption in the metropo-
lis was 100000 boxes, or about
fourteen lemons for every man,
woman and child.
