STARVING IN A CELLAR.
Old Jacob Hess, Who Was Found Nearly Dead Is Supposed 10 Have Plenty
 of Money.

New York, July 4--Jacob Hess, 67 years old has been doing business in the basement of No. CT Fourth avenue ten years and was well known around the neighborhood When he did not appear from his cellar from noon on Monday to noon yesterday everybody asked what had become of him.
 His friend, Harry Higgins, tried to get in front door and the rear entranc S. but found them both barred.
 Policeman Stahl of the Fifth street sta tion forced them open. They entered damp cellar filled with odds and ends of all kinds known to the loczsmith The air was so foul and damp that Higgins and the policeman had to retreat until the fresh air cleared the atmosphere. The old man was living in corner, with an old bag wrapped around him. He was apparently dying, and his face wore a friphtful expression.
 The old man recognized Higgins though he only grodned. An ambulance was summoned from Bellevue hospital Surgeon Faskett, who came with the ann bulance, said the old man was suffering from desttution. He was taken to the hospital. Higgins tried to elicit some information from Hess as to the cause for shutting himself in, but failed. All the old man would say was that when something which he expected arrived at the store Higgins should take it and keep it until he came back. He may never come back
 It is Higgins firm belief that the old man has money hidden away somewhere as he always done a fairly good business nhe only food Higgins had ever seen him buy was a loaf of bread. About two months ago an elderly lady of refined ap- pearance stopped in front of the place and called Hess out and conversed earn estly with him for about half an hour He never told Higgins who she was. Hess condition was not very promising to la cf mi

A Street Arab EKplodes Bomb in Chatta-

 Chattanooga, July 4.-While Market street was surging with people viewing the Fourth of July celebration parade a wickedly contrived bomb made of gas pipe charged with gun powder was thrown into the air by street Arab named Alexander Reese. One end of the contrivance was plugged up with a wagon nut and a fuse was inserted at the other end so that when the powder was. reached a fearful explosion followed. A large piece of the iron struck valu- able horse driven by a party of ladies, while another killed a dog half a square a way. The horse was killed later, but the life of the brute undoubtedly saved at least a dozen persons from death or injury. The boy was arrested, but gave bond.

LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Because He Preached in a Park on Sunday the
 Rev. MT. Heath Is Criticised.

Middetown. N. Y, July 1.-The Rev. Dr. Charles Beattie of the Second Pres byterian church and the Rev. Frank A. Heath of the Baptist church, this city, are a variance on the subject of holding religious services on Sunday at Midway park, a pleasure resort near this city, owned and controlled by the Middletown and Goshen Traction company. Last Sunday MT. Heath accepted an invitation from the traction company to conduct religious services at the park in the af- ternoon. In the evening pr. Beattie took occasion to criticise MT. Heath rather severely, declaring that he believed the traction company invited the Baptist minister to conduct services for the money it would make by transporting the people to and from the resort.
 This criticism has stirred the young Baptist pastor and he addressed an open letter to pr. Beattie through one of the city papers here this evening, saying
 we do not all look at things with the same eyes. One minister will readily do what another will not. A minister of our city expressed his disapproval of a Sun day service at the park. but he took his wife and went to the circus. Now, I am willing to go to the park and preach, but I cannot consistently give the circus the approval of my presence.
 I never dld anyChlng Tn my religious life that secured the approval of con science more completely than did my preaching at the park last Sunday. I went there because I knew the people would be there. It may not be agreeable, but it is fact nevertheless that the peo- pie of the city are not going to hear you or me or any other minister whether they can go to the park on Sunday or not. IL is very evident that they intend to follow their own judgment, and as a Baptist am glad of It, because I believe in re- ligious liberty of the most intense kind. "
