reason except to state that he thought
1t best for a minister not to remain
too long in the same place. The
church has not yet taken action, but
the resignation will likely be accepted.

THE LYONS QUINTET.
Controlling and for EmbaIming the
Babies,

Undertaken Nance still has charge
of the Lyons babies and declines to
surrender them either to DR.. Mat
thews, of Mayfeld, or the father of
the quintette unless they pay $500 for
the emba.ming. He will bury the
babies and furnish coffin, and make
no charge, If, however, afterward
the remains are taken up, he will pre-
fer the charge of grave robbery. DR..
Matthews claims he has secured the
privilege of taking the remains of the
babies to the Tennessee centennial at
Nashville for exhibition. If they are
to be exhibited oyer the country IN
dertaker Nance wants $500 for his
work before they go out of his pos
session. The relatives and parents
of the quintet, it is said, are willing
for Undertaken Nance to retain pos
session of them. DIR. Matthews was
in the city yesterday afternoon and
is still in the city. He intends to Sc
cure writ of delivery. Undertaken
Nance has an attorney who is advis-
ing him. If the writ of delivery is
gotten out, and it is probable that it
will be this afternoon, Mr.. Nance will
execute bond,and still retain possess
ion of the babies.
This forenoon he proposed to per-
NIT the babies to 60 to Nash lie in
his possession provided that DR..
Mathews and Mr. Lyon would agree
to accept two-thirds of the proceeds
from the exhibits and let him retain
the other third. DR.. Mathews would
not agree to the proposition and now
Mr.. Nance intends to use every legal
means to hold them, unless they are
at once buried, until his bill of $500
is paid. No one is now permitted to
see the remains of the babies.-Padu-

was the price he set at first. No ar

Shea. Miss Carlotta Price went TO
Northwestern five years ago and en-
tered the academy, from which she was
graduated in two years. In the fall u
80 she entered the College Of Liberal
Arts as freshman.
In college Miss Price was one of the
brightest and most capable of the
young women. She was a leader in all
enterprises of the women, even in her
freshman year.

she had known Thomas NJ. Shea from
childhood, and they had always been
together They had wished to marry
but her parents desired to have her
graduated from college, and her father
had even wanted her to study medicine.
Mr.. Shea's family is a prominent one
and ne had every advantage. He was
admitted to the bar by the supreme
court in Columbus, Ohio, and practiced
for five years in Bellefontaine. He
took a leading part in politics, and has
been republican delegate to county
and state conventions. For two years
he was city attorney of Bellefontaine.
Since the first Of last January he has
been practicing law in Chicago. Dur
ing the five years Miss Price was in
Evanston Mr.. Shea made monthly trips
there to call on her. On Oct. II, 1894.
they were secretly married in Chicago.
This was at the beginning of her
sophomore year, and the wife returned
to her studies still retaining her
maiden name. She spent the ensuing
summer vacation at her home, where
her husband was then practicing law,
but no one learned their secret. Upon
her return to college last fall she was
elected president of the Junior class.

OF the Institution to hold that honor.
She was also chosen president of the
University Woman's club. She was a
leading spirit in the publication of the
recent woman's edition of the college
paper. In tennis she is an expert. In
the intercollegiate match between
Northwestern and the University of
Chicago Miss Price, or rather Mrs

Trouble Aim to Secure Com
piete Indeps ndenoe.

Madrid, Aug. 24.-An official dis
patch from Manila announces the dis
covery in the PHILIPPINE islands of a
separatist conspiracy. the object being
to secure independence from Spain.
According to the official advioes twea-
ty one persons have already been ar.
rested, several being Free Masons.
The news has caused great excitement
in Madrid, and the police in conse-
quence tonight raided the Hispano

that Japan is endeavoring to foment
trouble in that part of the Spanish pos
sessions for the purpose of extending
the jurisdiction of her island empire
over the Philippine islands. The
islands lie only about 250 miles south
of the newly acquired Japanese posses
sions of Formosa, a number of small
islands intervening. Spain's army in
the Philippine islands is estimated at
seven regiments of infantry and one of
artillery, with squad of cavalry, the
effective force being 684 officers and
about $1,000 men.
While commenting on the outbreak
in the Philippine islands in the senate
today, Senior Castellano, minister for
the colonies, read several kilograms
from the governor of the islands, Cap
tain-General Blanco. These kilograms
were that the copspirators aimed to So.
cure the complete Independence of the
PHILIPPINE islands.
Senior Monterro Rico declared that
the liberal party was prepared to sup
port all government measures for the
maintenance of Spanish integrity.
Nearly all of the opposition leaders in
he chamber made similar promises.
