good news to many to know that

and spiritualism, is again with the
company. 1t will be remembered
that he was with another of DIR.

Stone brought one more quarter

Pittsburg, Pa, April Rev. ]. T.
McCrary, pastor of the Third U. T
church, today delivered a scathing at
tack on Cardinal Gibbons and mis- sup
posed justification of the mob in Sa-
vannah. Mr.. McCrary is man of
extreme views, and is a supporter of
the blue laws He is president Of the
Law and Order society and directs the
war against Sunday papers. He quo
ted from the remarks of Cardinal Glib
bons on the work of the mob, and
then said:
The cardinal protests earnestly
against his church being held respon-
sible for the Spanish inquisition, yet
we submit that it was more out of har-
mOny with the sentiment of the six
teenth century than the conduct of
the mob with the closing years of the
nineteenth.
He excuses and encourages violence.
When the head of the church speaks
Of an offense as serious as the riot at
Savannah anything short of the stern
est, most unequivocal condemnation of
it will be encouragement. He put
Christianity to shame before the world
He claims to represent the largest
body Of Christians in the world, and
yet has only soft words for men who
would have murdered if they had not
been restrained by bayonets.
1.-The cardinal does not represent
Christianity He is speaking for a sys-
tenn that cannot bear the light and he
would encourage the suppression of
truth, though that require the silenc
ing forever of the clearest voices that
ever rung out on this western world"

On the sidewalk in front Of the

the brain of his wife and she fell at
his feet a corpse While the people
stood aghast at the terrible deed, Scott
placed the muzzle of the revolver in
his mouth and sent a bullet crashing
through the roof of his mouth into
his brain and he fell dead almost with
IN reach of the remains of his wife.
At the sight of the bloody tragedy.
two or three women tainted and much
excitement prevailed. Both bodies
were taken to an undertakers.
When Mrs. Scott was shot. she was
with her brother. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott
were married about two years ago.
She was II and he 49, They separated
