rison denies that he has had an attack OF
the South African mining fever. He was
seen last night at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
and was asked concerning his fortunate
speculation in South African stocks
whereby, it was reported, he had realized
100000 on an Investment of $500. General

The mob was sullen and defiant, and ap-
parently determined. Six companies from
the First regiment, under Lieutenant
Colonel Reilly, came up soon afterward,
making eleven companies on the ground.
While a consultation of the command
ing officers and the Mayor was held Capt.
J. II. Dillon, one of the most prominent
Catholics of the city, rendered his SER
vices as a peacemaker. He brought Vicar
General Cafferty, who is in charge of the
diocese in the absence of Bishop Becker,
to the scene of the trouble. The vicar
general addressed a portion of the mob.
This man Slattery," said he, lean do
your church no harm. l plead with you
to dispense and go home A few of those
he addressed shook the vicar general by
the hand and left, but the majority stood
still. Maj. Mildrim and others urged the
mob to dispense, but to no purpose. With
a double line of soldiers an avenue was
formed, and while the rest of the military
kept the crowd back nearly all of the au-
dience passed out of the hall amid Kisses.
Slattery and his wife were then escorted
to their hotel by the military, and several
companies were kept on guard during tho
remainder of the night.

Cattle Strangely Poisoned.

The counties Of Cornwall and Devon,
in England, are the center of Il thirty
ing arsenic industry. In the process
of production Of this mineral pyrites
are roasted and condensed in long
1ues, some of which run for half a
mile. Formerly, even with the greatest
care, much Of the arsenic would be
uncondensed, and the escaping fumes
constituted a source Of danger to cattle,
many of which died from eating grass
in the neighborhood of the works. The
frequent actions for damages which
ensued at last stimulated the manufac-
turers to remedy the evil. This has
been accomplished by Of wash
towers, a dry filter made of brush
wood, gorse, etc, which is found to ar
rest almost the whole of the arsenic
fumes in the escaping gases. 1t is
recorded that in a test made without
the filter there was much as "A grains
Of arsenic fumes in a cubic foot of
the gases passing into the air, whereas
the average is now less than one-tenth
of a grain per cubic foot. This result
has been fastened by the recent agi-
tation in England in favor Of purer air
for the people of cities and manufac-
turing districts.

to Another.
To gloat over the sufferings of the dy-
ing is admittedly an inhuman-a tiendish
thing, yet that is what one woman, who
was once wealthy and respected, did in
New York city the other day.
Kate Ledwith, aged about u, had been
terribly injured by an explosion of kero-
sene oil, and lay dying in Manhattan Hos.
pital. Her sufferings were horrible, and
yet they gave satisfaction to one oma
who saw in the frightful accident the full
6llment of revengeful longings. This
woman is Mrs. Christian Meinecke. Two
years ago Miss Ledwith appeared as a
witness in an action brought by Mr.. Mel
necke against his wife for divorce. In
thec court room Mrs. Meinecke called Miss
Ledwith a perjurer, and said that she
would give all she possessed TO see her
in a lake of fire.
This revengeful spirit has since remain,
ed with her, and when she heard of the
eyplosion she exclaimed: Thank God, l
have now my revenge" When she went
10 the Manhattan Hospital she was de-
MED admission. However, she expressed
her pleasure at the girls sufferings. Later
she was visited by a reporter and this is
what she said:
This Kate Ledwith was my servant in
HAMMER DAYS when l lived in luxury with
the husband who has now abandoned me.
She swore falsely against me, and has met

not be tolerated" The committee stated
that it was their desire to avoid trouble
and that they would use their influence
IN that direction. They did SO, but their
efforts utterly failed.
BY 5 O'Clock a mob Of some 5000 to 1000
surrounded Masonic Hall. In the hall
was an audience of about 400, including a
number of aides. The lecturer had hard
l.! begun before there was a shower of
brlckbats and cobblestones on the window
shutters, which had been closed. Cries
OF Kill him." Down with Slattery."
Death to the renegade were heard.
Chief McDermott summoned the Mayor.
The lecture closed at $50 o'clock, and il
was apparent that it meant the loss of
many lives for the lecturer and the audi
ence to leave the hall.
Upstairs a number of members of secret
organizations, who had cheered Slattery's
declaration that he belonged to them, had
gathered around the eX-priest to defend
him as he left the hall. A number. it was
evident, had come armed in anticipation
OF trouble. AS the ex-priest was about
to leave the hall with his friends the chief
OF police stopped them and refused to al
low any one to 90 downstairs. Outside
Mayor Meyers and Col. William Garrard
were in consultation. The mob Missed
at the police and hooted at their orders
to disperse. The military alarm, eleven
taps on all fire bells in the city, was sent
in, but when it sounded the mob derided
it.
Bring on your military" some of the
leaders shouted. "To - with them;
they can't save Slattery."
The Georgia Hussars (dismounted), I'M
der command of Maj. Mildrim, were the
first to respond. The organization con.
tanned thirty men in all. The mob evil
IDENTIFY believed that this was all it was
intended to bring out and laughed at
them as they drew up in front of the hall.
Soon after the tramp of other military
companies was heard and four companies
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, under
command of Col. Garrard, swung into pc.
sition in front of the hall with fixed bayo-
nets and rifles loaded with ball cartridges.
BY order of the Mayor the guards formed
in two single lines and charged the mob
with fixed bayonets in hope of dispensing
the crowd. The mob was showed back
slowly, but refused to break, and occa-
siOnally stones were thrown at the hall.
