The Rev. Mr.. Gillum, pastor of a church at
Cresaptown, village six miles from that
place, swore out a warrant against the
girls, charging them with disturbing public
worship. They We're brought to this city
and committed to JAIL when they were
taken before the public judge for trial
The Rev. Mr.. Gillum was placed on the
stand, and stated that he had been con-
Quoting revival, and that the girls had a
habit of taking front seat in the church
and chewing gum in such noisy manner
as to disturb his congregation He also

opening prices. in majority of instances,
reflected fractional concessions, but there
being no particular pressure to sell. a mod
crate rally subsequently ensued.
The market for sterling and continental
bills was again favorably Influenced by
fair supply of commercial drawings, rates
being posted one-half per cent below those
quoted yesterday. The weeks gold move
ment will be contracted in few small
consignments between Thursday and Sat-
urday.
The bulk of the days news items were
confined to the varying phases of the I'M
enviable position voluntarily assumed by
the American Tobacco Company. The early
trading resulted in a sharp decline Of 3 per
cent from which point a demand from .he
short interest advanced the price Al per
cent. Rallies and declines followed in rapid
succession with the weight of argument
strongly pessimistic.
The sentiment favorable to some deter
mined effort to prevent the recurrence Of
Fridays action has scarcely crystallized
into any tangible mode Of prevention or
redress, but there is little doubt that some
thing will be done.
Sugar opened off and was disposed to lag
somewhat during the early trading. but the
temperance of large buying orders adj
vanced the price per cent. The character
of the recent purchases has been such as
to warrant a belief in higher prices, but
the demand at the present level is by no
means general, and a reversal Of inside
policy Is greatly feared.
The transactions in Consolidated Gas at
tracted considerable attention during the
day, an advance of six points following a
good volume of business. Important ia
vorable developments have been pending for
some time In this property and are now on
the eve of elimination. Manhattan was the
feature of the railroad list so far as the
extent of its fluctuations is concerned a
gain OF one and one-quarter per cent being
recorded on the announcement of the decla-
ration of the regular dividend.
Decreased earnings operated against the
price of Rock Island. but the neighboring
members of the granger group were not ad-
versely affected. The executive committee
OF Western Union have recommended the
payment of the regular quarterly dividend,
and the directors will affirm the action at
tcmorrow's meeting.

JOHN MILLER's HICCOUGHS.
He Took One of the 100 Remedies
Suggested and Was Cured.

He Took One of the 100 Remedies
Suggested and Was Cured.
From the New York Sun.
John Miller has been dangerously i'll at his
home in New Brunswick, N. j., from inces-
SAINT hiccoughs, which We're brought on by
other complaints. The story has been pub
lished far and wide, and the result is that
kindly letters of advice are pouring in upon
him from all parts of the country. Through
one of these letters relief was brought to
him and his cure at present seems final
Mr. Millers home is with his uncle Fred
Miller, freebooter for MiddIeseX county. He
never had been seriously sick until few
weeks ago. when he was attacked with mall
arial fever. After few days this developed
into pneumonia. His physician, DR.. Clarence
Slack, was bringing him out of this when,
about .midnght few days ago, his hic-
coughs began. Steadily, night and day, the
spasms continued, and steadily his physical
condition weakened In desperation his
mother. Mrs. Catherine Miller, who has at
tender her soa since his first illness, said to
Miss Katie Miller, cousin of the young man:
katie, go through those letters and find
something to help him, If you can"
The CIR! searched through the formidable
heap and found this simple prescription from
w NJ Ihrie of New Brunswick:
''Take oil of cassia and put drop or two
on pieces of block sugar every ten minutes
and dissolve in the mouth"
There was a little oil of cinnamon in the
house. and Mrs. Miller said: Let us try that.
It won't hurt him, anyway" The dose was
administered. Miller hiccoughed once or
twice and then stopped He has not been
afflicted with the trouble since. A peculiar
ishment now which he could not do during
the two weeks of his malady.

MAKING COUNTER CHARGES.
w. w. Hill Makes Allegations Con.
corning His Chief.

corning Sh1ef.
The Postmaster General today sent to
the Department of Justice a communica tt IN
stating the facts with regard to the charges
made by W. w. Hill, assistant superintend-
ent of the free delivery service, against Mr..
A. w. Machen, superintendent of the same
division. Mr.. Hill has held, in connection
with his office in the post Office department,
the position of commissioner of the United
States Court of Claims. and 1t is understood
that he is to be removed from this latter
position because of his charges against Mr..
Machen.
The latter, when seen today by a Star
reporter and asked for a statement IN re-
gard to the matter, declined to speak, and
said that the first assistant postmaste r
general would make public whatever was
to be known about the matter. Gen. Jones,
however would only say that as yet Mr.
Hill had filed no charges against Mr.
Machen, that Hill was no longer an en-
ploye of the Post Office Department. and
that the Department of Justice had been
communicated with in regard to his posi-
ton as commissioner of the Court of
Claims.
Through the New York Tribune today Mr.
Hill, who is in Brooklyn, makes known a
portion of the allegations which he claims
he can prove. One of them is that the pay
account of Henry l.. Lorenz of Toledo was
increased by ahteodIlhg LorenZS appoint
ment from November to July 1 last year,
and that the voucher for 1913 days service,
amounting to 1863, was cashed in some way
without Mr.. Lorenz's knowledge. Another
charge is that when Robert G.. Monroe ran
for Congress in the fourteenth New York
district Mr.. Machen sent five secret service
agents to New York to assist in defeating
the Tammany candidate and aid in electing
Monroe. Another charge is that Mr.. Ma
chen urged Postmaster Sullivan Of Brook
lyn to have the Brooklyn carriers buy their
uniforms of a Baltimore firm in which Hill
claims Machen is interested.

HARRY HAYWARD MARRIED..
The Condemned Murderer Makes {
Sensational Announcement.

Sensational Announcements.
CHICAGO, December 1O.-A dispatch from
Minneapolis. Mimi. says Harry Hayward,
who was convicted Of the murder Of
Catherine Cling, and who will hang tomor-
row for his crime. has created another sem
saton by announcing that he Is married
man, and that he has been married for
two years. The announcement was made
to his cousin, Earnest Gocdsell, but re-
fused to give the name of his wife, and
asked that she be allowed to visit him
later.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, December TO-
Harry Hayward's latest invention that he
was married secretly in August, 1894, to a
theatrical supernumerary was today COM
pletely exploded. Harry's desire to see her
apparently inspired the secret marriage
story, but the sheriff took stock in it,
and the doomed man was not permitted to
see the girl, although she responded to his
summons. Her mother declares that the
marriage story is false, and that her
daughter had not seen Hayward for three
years before his arrest. She had forgotten
ever having met him until his arrest re-
called the fact. She Is but seventeen now
She has sent him many flowers during his
incarceration. Not one of Hayward's rela-
tves take any stock in the tale.

From the Lady's Pictorial

From the Lady's Pictorial.
The now historic Blenheim bouquet has
not been spared even by relatives of the
Duke of Marlborough. In proposing a vote
of thanks to Lady Warwick the other day
at the chrysanthenum exhibition at Strait
ford Lord Claud Hamilton had a dig at it.
After wondering whether gardeners were
not devoting too much attention to size, as
compared with shape and color, Lord Claud
added that bouquets five feet in diameter,
such as that which they read of in connec-
ton with the marriage of noble relative
of his, were. to say the least of it, some
what awkward" 1t is to be hoped that IL
any dim idea of emulating the Blenheim
bouquet on this side of the water had
sprung up in the minds of brides-elect Lord
Claud's little stroke of satire will appropri-
ately nip 1t in the bud.

HIS HAND CRUSHED.
Remarkable Courage Displayed by
James III. Berry,

James H. Berry, who Is in charge of the
work of eevating the statue at the corner
of It'll and Pennsylvania avenue, met with
most painful accident this afternoon. A
huge stone weighing many tons fell from
its position and caught Berry's hand be-
tu cen it and the base of foundation Of the
statue. In this position it remained for
fully twenty minutes while his colleagues
endeavored to attach the derrick to the
stone to remove it. 1t is said by bystand-
ers that Berry, during the work of remov-
ing the weight from his hand, stood per-
admirable. He never moved muscle until
the stone was removed, when 1t was seen
that his hand was crushed to jelly. He
was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
would be amputated.

NATIONAL HOMEOPATHIC COLLEGE.
The Students Want New Faculty
and VIII Get 1t.

ana yet
The National Homeopathic Medical and
Dental College is in the throes of transition
from one board Of trustees to another. The
change is due to the dissatisfaction of the
students over the differences between the
college and the Homeopathic Medical So
cety. AS result the new board of trustees
will consist of Zalmon Richards, o. C. Hal
ton, w. w. Wright, Steven E. Cough, c. T.
Yoder, ]. C. Parker and DR.. James T. Hen
sley This board consists, with one excep-
ton, of business men. At the request of the
students also the old faculty will retire and
a new one representative of the profession
will be installed. There seems to have been
much friction in the old faculty, which it
was impossible to relieve or reconcile 1t was
stated at the college today that DIR. Heller
had rendered his resignation and that sew
eral others will be rendered tonight, when
the new board holds another meeting
The report that the students mutinied and
declined to pay tuition is denied at the COL
lege. The worst they had done, it is said
was to ask that new faculty be chosen
which would receive the Endorsement and
support of the Homeopathic Medical Society
and their request met with favorable action
on the part Of the board.

Mr.. Mccall followed Mr.. Crisp and said
that Mr.. Bayard made violent partisan
speech. which was. obviously one OF I'M
propriety. He moved to amend his reso-
luton so as to include in it the extract
from Bayards Boston HnglanO speech
incorporated in the Mccall resolution.
Mr.. Dingley Takes Hand.
Mr.. Dingley CMe) followed Mr.. Mccall
and took the ground that Mr. Bayafd was
an ambassador of the United States, and
the question was whether he should SO lar
forget his duties as to denounce the policy

Mr. Crisp replied that the question "nic .a
Mr.. Bayard discussed was not local 10 thls
country, but world wide.

idea, that a week after Mr.. Bayard mad
went upon a platform in London ana de-

Mr.. Crisp replied that Mr.. Bayard was

from Maine was a Just one.
Mr.. Dingley-'Has the ambassador OF

form in a foreign country and denounce
one-half of the people in the terms used by
Mr.. Bayard?"
he may be, or what position he occupies,
has the right to say what he thinks upon

Mr.. Crisp then turned questioner: He
asked Mr.. Dingley if he thought that the
specifications in the resolution furnished
ground for impeachment.
Mr.. Dingley avoided the question by say
ing that no matter whether there was
ground for Impeachment or not, the House
she uld condemn the utterances of Mr. Bay
