ARMED MEN GUARD A BODY
Mob Was Expected to Storm the
Cemetery and Receiving Vault.
5000 About Him Claimed by
Several Women. :.

Chicago Ill, Sept. 29.-Fifty men armed
with rifles and reyolvers all last night
were guarding the receiving vault in the
Oakwoods Cemetery, where a mob of col
ored men were expected hourly to storm
the gates and break in the vault in order
TO get possession OF the body OF Thomas
Holbrook.
Holbrook was the colored man who was
shot and killed Wednesday morning in
Plymouth Place. After the undertaken ha d
taken charge of the body $500 in cash and
certificates of deposit were found On IL.
The following day half a dozen women
made their appea rance at the undertaker's,
each one claiming HolbroOk as her hus-
band.
Among them was Mrs. Lilly Holbrook,
OF No. Ala Thirty-third street. 1t was
necessary to identify the body, but the
undertaken refused to give IL up.
Her attorney went before Justice Rich
ardson and obtained a replevin, but while
they were gone the undertaken sent the
body to the cemetery. Constable BALKAN
presented his papers TO Assistant Superin-
tendent Carter, but that official refused
to deliver Holbrook's body.
It was then, Mr.. Carter says, Mrs. Hol-
brooks friends threatened TO return with
enough men to accomplish the work by
force. Backed by his attorney, Mr.. Carter
teiephoned TO several detective agencies
and before nightfall there were fifty armed
men within the cemetery.
The armed guard is still on duty, but there
has been no trouble.

COMING OF THE SPIRIT.
Rev Luther B. Wilson's Discourse at
un,nlin,. Met Ind Isl Church.

L.
Hnmltne Methodist Church.
Rev. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder
of Washington district of the Baltimore
conference, preached TO large congrega-
ton last evening at Hamline Methodist
Church, corner of p and Ninth streets.
The discourse was exceedingly interest
ing as we'll as instructive and was In
measure Introductory or preparatory to
the eVan.clistic meetings which Will be
gin Sunday evening next and continue Tor
several weeks.
Rev. DIR. Wilson took his text from the
Gospel OF ST. Luke, eleventh chapter, thir-
teenth verse.
There is hardly any one of us, said Rev:
Dr. Wilson, that does not know something OF
the Spirit of Christ, 1or the Spirit of the
Holy Ghost is alw avs present and makes US
feel the need of q helper. For myself am
ready 10 believe that through the presence
OF the spirit at sometime We are all enabled
fulncss. Acknow lodging this, it becomes
our duty to receive Gods Spirit in the full
ness in " hich il is given.
TheSpirit of the text, he said, was anerery-
day object lesson with which all are familiar.
We all know people in whom we see want
Ing the beauty of the Spirit of the Holy
Ghost. In every day life they are close and
even stingy, would grind you down TO the
last cent. hut watch them when they go to
provide for some dear little one at home.
Their dollars are as nothing. 1t is here
that we see that they know how TO make
good gifts to their children"
The coming of the Spirit always puts
man at his best. 1t brings change like that
created i'll Stephen. 1t can be seen in the
face and qualities n man for the perform
ance of work and duty he owes to God.

came forth, the man, small woman and
an elderly female.
A few words passed between the trio,
when in an instant all became tangled
up in free -fOr-all fight. or course the
affair attracted large portion of George

The next act before the crowd was a pro-

occupation huckster. The younger woman
gave her name as Fannie L. Groves, wife

The elderly woman, it was shown, had not
mixed into the fight with the zeal the
others had, and therefore she was not re-

SPANIARDS ON THE KEYS
Marines Sent to Search Florida Ter
ritory For Filibusterers.
Department VIII BE Asked to In.
vestigate-Citize Indignant.

Key West. Fla, Sept. 29.-Great in
dignation has been occasioned here by the
report that marines from the Spanish
cruiser Conde de Venadito have been landed
on the Keys north of here to search for
filibusters. 1t is supposed that the fill
busters have arms and supplies concealed
on one OF these keys, and the Conde de Ven
adito has been on the watch for some time.
Now ii seems, according to orcportS brought
here by fishermen, that searching parties
have been landed from the cruiser on almost
every key tina W ould afford a rendezvousfor
filibusters. 1t is believed the reports are
true. as copies of La Lucha, a Havana paper,
received here, yesterday, state tnat the com
mander of the condc de VenaGito had orders
TO make thorough search OF the Keys near
this City for filibusters and arms
The citiZens are indignant and the State
Department Will be asked TO investigate.
The Keys belong to Florida and are as
much portion Of the United States as
the mainland. If the Spauiards can land
searching parties ON the Keys, they can
land them on the mainland.
The insult is considered as gross to the
United States as II the Condc de Vcnadito
had landed Hines to search the homes
OF Cuban sympatniZers in Key West.

RGENTINA'S FINANCES.
Senor Romero May Favor the Issuance
of Per Cent. BONDS.


Copyright by James Gordon Bennett.)
New York. Sept 30.-A Herald cable
dispatch from Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
saws:
There Is continuance of the decrease in
customs receipts, and unless Senor Romero,
the finance minister. should resign he
will present at the coming extra session OF
Congress a scheme. the main feature Of
which is the issuance of bonds at 4 per
cent.
The principal idea of the minister S
scheme is the unificatiOn OF the public
debt. bonds To be floaied to the amount OF
S4CO .c0o.000 in gold. S3O0, COO. 600 to
satisfy claims under the unification pro-
gramme, and S100.000,000 to guarantee
the present paper issue of the republic.
Senor Romero declares that he will not
resign as long as he receives the support
of President Uriburn, and under such coun-
tenance he affiTms that he can afford to
look with contempt upon attacks in the
Senate. all of which, be says, are in

DOWN TO FORTY-TwO DEGRE
Mercury Took n Drop and the Water
Splashed All Around.

The everlasting weather, which has
been halting recently between a sickly par
ody on autumn and a lukewarm caricature
of summer, went off on very erratic
tangent yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock.
1t coquetted with sunshine and bright
skies in the early afternoon, which induced
several thousand people TO go out into
the woods looking for golden rod and a
good time, and, when it got them all
safely out in the jungles, it ordered up
nor'-nor' r'wester which chilled the senti-
ment of the thing and sent the thousands
hustling back TO the city pell-mell, for
overcoats, undercoats, and umbrellas.
The mercury dropped to AZ degrees in
half an hour and sta id there, while the
wind blew and the rain continued. The
rain. by the way, was also not the genu-
inc thing. 1t was sloppy, sticky and gelat-
nous and remained where it fell.
The sudden change was due to the ar
rival of the center of the cold wave which
has been moving East in ZigZag, happy
go-lucky fashion for the past three days.
Notw outstanding its irregular aspect, it
was undoubtedly the first touch of win
ter. Straw hats will vanish to day with
out a proclamation, and hot drinks are in
order to drink the health of the prodigal
winter. which has at last got in from the
West.

SOUTH CARoLINA's CONVENTION.
Hot Debates Expected This Week on
Suffrn pta a nd DiSnensurY

Columbia, 5. c., sept. 29.-The consti-
tutional convention will start out on its
fourth weeks session tomorrow morning,
and Just at this time there is no reason 10
believe otherwise than the ten days ses-
sion that some delegates talked about at
first Will draw out through three weeks
more at the very least.
The suffrage matter is most important,
and there is likely to be lively times when
it is reached.
This article was to have gone in yes
terday, but for some reason il was withheld
1t will probably be presented the first
thing on Mon day.
The public, not only of this State, but
OF the entire country, takes more interest
In this matter than in any other.
The provisions of the article are pretty
wei! known, but it would scarcely do to
refer to them till the report has been pre-
sented. 1t is surmised that Col Ahrich
will resume his scheme of allowing the
negro to hold office when this matter
comes up, and viii try to get another
hearing.
The dispensary matter is one of the most
important and interesting that will come
up tomorrow, and the matter will very
likely be settled by the adoPSEon Of pro-
vision for the licensing OF individuals to
sell the whisky as the dispensaries do Row
in case there is not absolute prohibition
and in case the dispensary system is ever
abolished.
