BOOTHS NEW ARMY.
The SaIvatiOnist viii Organize His New
Command Philadelphia Soldiers Will
Not Join the New Movement.

New York, March 9.-The new relig-
ious movement on similar lines to the
Salvation Army, to be led by Ballington
Booth and his wife, may now be said
to be fairly started. Ballington Booth
appeared at his new headquarters in
the Bible house today and at once be-
ganiZation under way.
A name for the new movement has
not yet been decided upon and 1t may be
several days before that is settled.
There is also doubt as to just what
uniform will he adopted. The indica-
tions are. however. that a dark blue
costume and black slOuch hats for the
men will be chosen.
Philadelphia. March 9-The Saliva
tlon Army in this city will probably
not cast it's lot with the Ballington
Booths. Brigadier William Evans. the
commander of the Atlantic coast divi-
sion of the army, said this afternoon
when questioned as to the attitude of
his division:
so far as my knowledge extends as
commander, the Atlantic division is
solid for the old flag. There may be
some who will prove dislOyal but the
great body of the commands will re-
main true
The Atlantic coast division embraces
pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia
North and South Carolina and a. por-
tion of New Jersey.
The leader of the German branch of
the army in this city was also seen. and
he said the portion he commanded
would remain true also

CLUBS SUSTAINED.
They May Legally Dispense Jag Liquid
TO Members.

Philadelphia. March 9-The question
of the right Of Incorporated clubs to sell
liquor to their members has at last been
brought fairly and squarely before the
Supreme court in the case of the appeal
of William Il. Klein from decree of the
common pleas court of Lehigh county,
dismissng bill in equity in which
Klein. who was member of the l.iv-
ingston club. sought to have the club
restrained from buying liquor and sell
ing it TO its members.
1t appears that the Livingston club
was Incorporated for social purposes.
and owns II lot and fine brick building
in Allentown. the real estate and furni
ture costing over S23, 1000. The member
ship is limited as to resident members
to 100 within the limits of Allentown or
one mile beyond, and all members must
be at least u years of age. There are no
sleeping rooms i'm the building for either
members Or guests, and no games OF
chance or Other violation of the laws
are permitted under the bylaws and
house rules.
At Il meeting regularly called the
governing committee resolved:
That the steward he directed To pur-
chase Il stock of spi:ituous and malt
liquors and furnish the same 10 the men,
from them only, and turn over the money
so received to The treasurer of said clnp
which money shall he again used TO re-
plenish the liquors etc, 50 furnished 10
its members and in The purchase Of eat
abes, cigars. etc. and also for the defray-
ing of the expenses connected herewith
The club received no profit on its
liquor. Klein filed his bill in equity to
restrain the carrying out of the direc-
tions of the governing committee In
reference to the furnishing for pay to
its members Of spirituous and malt
liquors in the club house. alleging that
this proposed action was in violation of
the license laws. and that as member
he was entitled To require that the club
should be maintained solely for the
purpose expressed in the charter: and
that the property and right should not
be- injured or made liable to forfeiture
by any violation of law, and that the
proposed action Of the steward sub
iected the charter to forfeiture.
President Judge W. W. Schuyler. pre-
siding in the common pleas of Lehigh
county. refused the application for an
Injunction and dismissed the bill From
this Judgment Klein appealed to the
supreme court. where the case was this
morning argued ON his behalf by Jane $
4 Deshler and on the part of the club
by Edward Harvey. The matter was
held under advisement.

ETLlNGER'S BODY STOLEN.
!. Is Thought That the Remains of tho
outlaw Have Been Turned Over to
Medical Students

Bellefonte. Pa. March 9.-All sorts
Of rumors were current here today con-
cerning the eXhuming Of the body of
William Etlinger, the Woodward out
law and suicide. The inhabitants of
Woodward say the body was carried off
early Sunday morning by a party of
young men who arrived at that place
late Saturday night from Lewisburg.
Four of the party waited at the hotel
while the others drove into the noun
tains i'm the direction of the grave. They
all left the place at O'Clock sunday
morning for Lewisburg presumably
with the body in the carriage.
The grave is in Il seemingly undis-
turbed condition. but as only stones
covered the coffin in the first place it
cannot be told whether the remains
have actually been stolen.
Sheriff Condo when seen this evening
said he had investigated the rumor and
was satisfied it was correct. The body
1t Is said, was not eXhumed by the
indignant citizens in a spirit of revenge
but by parties as Il subject for some
medical college either In Philadelphia
Or Baltimore. It was taken on Sat
urday night, according to the most
authentic statements, but this Is not
known for sure. as no one has taken
sufficient interest to dig open the grave
and find out whether the remains were
there Oh not.
The feeling of the citizens of Wood
ward against Mrs. Etlinger for the
forced part she took in the tragedy is
very bitter, and they are demanding
that she be either arrested or that she
leave the county. The district attor
ney has ithoroughly investigated all
charges against her and is satisfied
that she cannot be indicted.

HOLMES LEARNS HIS FATE
The Wholesale Murderer Hears His
Death Warrant.
EXECUTION TO OCCUR NAY 2
Holmes the Coolest Man ID the Room
While tho Sheriff Read tho War
rsut-Says That He Is Per.
feetly willing TO Die.

Philadelphia, March 9-The death
warrant which Governor Hastings
signed for the execution of II. ii.
Holmes on May was received by Sher-
in Clement today from Harrisburg.
The sheriff, accompanied by his So
licitOrs, A. =. l.. Shields and Attorney
Grew and Lawyer s. +. Rotan, of coun-
sci for Holmes, went To the county pris-
on at noon, where the warrant was
formally read to the condemned man
by Sheriff Clement. The latter declined
to allow any reporters to accompany
the party.
The sheriff announced before going to
prison that the witnesses at the execu-
tion would not be- in excess of the at
tendances at less important hangingS.
When the sheriff and his party reach
ed the prison they We're met by Deputy
Anderson and the party was conducted
to Holmes cell He had been reading
and when he arose to greet his visitors
he tossed the book upon his cot and
smiled welcome. Lawyer Rotan in
troduced the sheriff and the others and
then without further ado Sheriff Glenn
ent drew the death warrant from his
pocket and proceeded to read II. The
spot in the cell where the sheriff stood
was not adapted to reading owing to a
lack Of light. Holmes observed the
sheriff's dilemma and remarked in a
cheerful tone, step over to the win
dow. Mr.. Sheriff; you will find more
light there"
WILLING TO DIE
Throughout the reading Holmes MAIN
tained an affable manner. At the con-
clusion Sheriff Clement, who was visibly
affected. turned to the condemned man,
and extending his hand. offered his
sympathy and implored hkn to make his
peace with God. Holmes thanked the
sheriff and expressed himself as willing
to die. There was. another round of
handshaking and the sheriff, the law
yers and the deputy left the cell. AS
the sheriff was passing out he omitted
To bow his head to clear the upper part
of the low entrance to the cell. Holmes
observed that the officials silk was In
danger of collision with the door, and
he called out:
BE careful. sheriff. or you will bump
your head" This caused a ripple of
laughter. AS the sheriff was moving
down the corridor Holmes called after
him. You can, of course, find me here
when you want me-"
y AS was expected, Holmes proved to
be the coolest one in the party. As
sistant Superintendent Richardson will
probably not remove Holmes from his
present cell for a week. but the prisoner
Will be more closely guarded.
1t Is usual to set the regular death
watch about a week previous to the
day of execution. When that shall be
done the condemned man will be taken
To a better lighted cell. after first being
submitted to a change of clothing to
prevent his having in his possession

Lawyer Rotan had "a long conversa-
tion with Holmes after the warrant had
been read. the subject of which Mr. Ro-
tan refused to make known.
