Chicago. Dec. 13-'The Lord saves
he has saved me-of all sinners the
lowest" Uttered with fervor. these
words rang from the lips of young
woman ut n Salvation Army meeting
in Willard hall. AS she spoke her
ewes wandered over the little sea OF
heads bowling in prayer.
At the sound of her voice one of the
heads turned inyoluntarily toward her.
\ man with paid face started as
though to rise. The eyes OF the two
met for Il moment and there was a
fash of recognition. Then the man re-
covered control of himself. he re-
sumetl his seat and through the re-

head and shamefaced mein. Few III
the audience saw the little scene.
There two were the principals in the
notorious Overman-Brown church trial
in San Francisco. Rev. o. c. Brown
and Miss Matte Overman. At the
close of the trial Miss Overman went
among the Crittenden workers and
was made one of the little army.
Henccforth she was known as Sister
Martha. 1t was while on her way to
Washington. u. c.. where she goes to
assist Mrs. Emily Waller Barrett III

pened into Willard hall When the
meeting was over she went out and
went straight to the Anchorage mis-
sion. there to address an audience of
young women. Rev. Mr.. Brown. when
the meeting was over. went his own
way. and that brief glance during the
services was their only meeting. What
the clergyman is doing in Chicago no
one seems to know. Shortly after the
trial he left San Francisco and drifted
East. to be lost sight of until this dra-
matte meeting with the woman whose
name was once linked with his own.
DR.. Brown has issued a statement
in which he denounces Miss Overman
as perjurer. He says that instead of
him being ashamed at the meeting it
was she who became confused and left
the hall.

DRIVEN TO DEATH.
Strange Case of the Suicide of Mrs
COODer and Daughter

Strange Case of the Suicide of Mrs.
Cooper and Daughter.
San Francisco. Zee. 13.-AIrs. Sarah
H. Cooper and her daughter, Harriet
Cooper. were found dead in their home
in this city this morning. with the gas
turned on and every evidence of sui
eide.
Mrs. Cooper was president of the
kindergarten association, and her
daughter was deputy superintendent.
Mrs. Cooper had lived here thirty
years and was widely known as an
educator, philanthropist and writer.
She was president of the Women's
Press association. president Of the
Women's Suffrage association, and
was prominent as an officer of the
w. c. r. g. For many years she
taught the largest bible class in the
city, at the First Congregational
church, her class numbering several.
hundred ADULTS. She was also assis-
tant pastor of the church under the
passionate of Rev. c.. O.. Brown.
In her will. written Yesterday, she re-
quests that the body of herself and her
daughter be not taken to the morgue
When the scandal concerning DIR.
Brown was first talked about Mrs.
cooper $1,000 Dy the pastor ana eX
pressed confidence in him. Later de.
velopments carsed her to change her
mind, and she and her daughter be-
came his most prominent opponents
and accusers after Mrs Davidson.
Much bitterness in church circles was
engendered by Mrs. Coopers state
ments on the witness stand Mt the
church trial. Miss Cooper was even
more pronounced than her mother in
opposition to DR.. Brown. This action
estranged many old friends and the
suicide of mother and daughter is as
cribed to the brooding over GOODNESS
and snubs from former friends No
woman on the Pacific coast has been
so prominent for generation as Mrs.
Cooper. who has often preached in
congregational pulpits and has been
engaged in all departments of Chris
tan work. She formerly resided in
New Orleans and acted as nurse dur
ing the war. Her husband and other
children died in New Orleans. Her
tragic end has caused an immense SEN
sation in this city.

MAKES A BAD HITCH
vENEZuELANS OPPOSE THE PRO-
POSED AGREEMENT.
Reports From Venezuela State That
n Serious Agitation Has SpranE
Tn Against the Boundary Settle
ment Agreed Upon by Represent
ntfyes of the Governments of the
United states and Great Britain.

Washington. Dec 13.-The unofficial
reports from TeEcZ leila that Il serious
agitation has sprung up against the
boundary settlen ent agreed ON BE-
tween the United States and Great
Britain causes much surprise. AID no
little concern in official quarters here.
Minister Andrade and James \ StOr-
row were to have sailed from LII
Guayara, the seaport of Caracas. yes
terday noon on the Red Star steamer
Philadelphia. and the boat was ex-
pected to reach New York on the 10th.
Mr.. Andrade had cabled the time of
his leaving as given in the Associated
Press dispatches OF the day the cable
was received. and had added an Of
fetal cablegram to Mr.. Olney stating
that President Crespo approved the
agreement and would call an extra ses-
sion of congress to ratify it. For this
reason the reports that Mr.. Andrade
and Mr.. Storrow will not return at
present owing to developments grow
ing out of the agitation against the
settlement is felt to embarrass and
possibly imperil the final adjustment.
which had been confidently expected
at an early day.
I'D to the present time President
Crespo has not called an extra session,
and thirty days must expire after the
call before congress meets. This has
led to question whether Venezuela
should bear the heavy expense of an
extra session converting only one
month before the regular session of
Feb 20.
The Venezuela papers which reached
Washington ON the last steamer are
being carefully scanned. but they are
very guarded and appear to he subject
to some government adviscment on
the subject. The arrival of Mr..
Andrade and Mr.. Storrow and their
conferences with President Crespo are
not mentioned. the only reference be-
ing an eulogistic welcome to Mrs. Stor-
row. La Liberal treats the settlement
as advantageous and says it not only
aids Venezuelans. but establishes a
great precedent by which the United
States stands as Il sentinel in front
of the American republics against Eu-
ropean greed and dominion.
The adverse agitation now reported
and Mr.. Andrade's determination to
defer his return makes the acceptance
of the treaty less assured. though in
diplomatic circles it is believed Ven
ezuela in time Will accept because of
tiCn would lie to the United States.
President Crespo has accepted the
treaty. and thus far his influence has
been exceedingly potent in shaping the
policy of his nation.

LUMBER BUSINESS.
According to the Yearly Round-un
by the Lumberfen

According to the Yearly Roundup
by the Lumberfen
Minneapolis. Dec. u. The ''New
Years Day. of the lumber trade has
come and gone. and the annual round
up of the stocks on hand has been
made by the Mississippi Valley Lum-
herman. The figures show heavy
decrease from Il year ago, and also
that the local consumption has been
much smaller during 1896 than during
1886. The Lumber1nan comments as
follows:
In the lumber column it will be
noticed that the stock in the hands of
the Minneapolis wholesaler is about
6O.OOO,O0O feet less than Il year ago
This would Indicate, were all other
things equal, that the trade of the past
year had been better than usual; but
as other things have not been equal.
nothing of the kind is true. The pro-
duction of lumber during the year has
been nearly 1S0,OOO.OOO feet less than
last season. SO it is plainly evident
that the business of the year has been
smaller than it was last year. OF this
decrease in business the shipping trade
has stood decrease of about SS,OOU,-
600 feet since the beginning of the
year. while the local consumption has
fallen off about 34,00O,OO0 feet"
