PROF. TYNDALL IN TOLLS Fined for Driving Too
 Fast. Territorial
The First Part Ended in a Sen
 SatiOn.
One of the Committee Became Sksptlcal and Tyndall Slapped
 Him Real Hard.

Sacramento Bee: McIvOr Tynda1l, hypnotist and mind reader, was arrest ed last night and booked at the police station on a charge of fast driving.
 Tyndan, blindfolded, accompanied by committee, had driven at furious pace from the Clunie opera house ta the Ebner hotel in an effort to locate in the register a name that had been selected blythe committee.
 Arriving at the hotel, Tyndall, still blindfolded, proceeded to determine upon the name selected. He held the hand of a committeeman named Crak- CT, and rapidly turned the pages of the register.
 TyndaIl complained that Craker was not concentrating his mind upon the subject and dropped his hand, reach ing for that of Miss Lillian Clayes, a member of the Clunie company, and also one of the committee.
 Meyer Clark objected to this, saying that Miss Clayes was member of the opera house company. Tyndall re- moved the bandage from his eyes and slapped Clark's face, saying:
 Do you mean to insult this lady?"
 At this juncture Officers Talbot, Nagle, Fisher and Katzenstein, who had been following Tyndall to arrest him for fast driving, arrived on the scene and the mind reader was taken to jail. He was soon released on bonds
 Tyndall and his managers assert that Clark Intentionally obstructed the pro- gress of the formers test and state that he had expressed determination to eXpOSe him if DoSSib1e
 Tyndall claims that he felt that Clark was opposed to him and that he had a right to use any member of the committee to complete the feat. The hypnotist declares that if Miss Clayes was objectionable to any of the con- mittee the objection should have been made before the drive began.
 Meyer Clark called at The Bee office this morning to give his version of last nights occurrence, and to incl dentally denounce Tyndall as fakir.
 Clark states that Tyndall all the time he was turning over the pages of the register attempted to get Miss Clayes near him, and that he CClark) told the young woman to keep at a distance
 When the mind reader took Craker's hand Clark says he insisted upon Tyn- dall's holding free from contact with Crakers body. Tyndall then became petulant, and releasing the hand, de- clared that Craker was not concentrat- ing his mind
 Clark then insisted that Tyndall should take his hand, but the latter Clark says, refused, saying that his mind was too weak.
 All the while, Clark asserts, Tyndall was endeavoring to secure Miss Clayes hand. Clark says he opposed any as- sistance from Miss Clayes on the ground that she was a member of the theater at which Tyndall was perform. Ing. He denies that he was rude ol in any manner offered the young wo- man any indignity.

BIG BACK PENSION
The Recipient Is Overcome by the
 News of His Fortune.

NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 6.-Through the efforts of Senator James Smith and Congressman R. Wayne Parker the government has at last recognized the claim for back pensions, first made by Charles Phillips, an aged and in firm veteran, of South Eighteenth street, as long ago as 1895.
 A check for $4,21960 and another for $216 was received by MT. Phillips yes terday and a communication inform ing him that his pension has been in- creased from SIP to SIP month, dat ing from June 2S, 1890. The larger check was for back pensions, the smaller for pensions due during June, uly and August.
 His is one of the few cases of utter incapacitation from work since the war closed" said MT. Parker today. ''He is bedridden from the effects of his duties as a soldier and deserves the increase accorded to him by the au- thorities''
 For years Phillips has been suffering from rheumatism of the heart and the excitement which followed his receipt of the good news aggravated the mal- ady. He could not be seen today be- cause of his critical condition.

CHURCH RIOT.
Sander Upon Good Citizens in an Ar
 kansas Pulpit

POCAHONTAS, Ark, Aug. GA prayer meeting at Dalton school house in Randolph county, was the scene of a riot Wednesday night The tornado was precipitated by comment on the silver question by the preacher, Rev. James HogaIt. In the course of his remarks he made some reference to the silver question, at which a member of the congregation rose to his feet and protested against the attempt of Rev. Hogart to mix religion and politics. The preacher made a hot retort and in an instant great excitement prevailed. Some one rushed to the pulpit and as- saulted MT. Hogart, others came to his rescue, and in a few minutes a free for all fight was in progress. Benches and chairs were upturned, men tore each others clothes, pummeled each other with their fists and clubs and gouged each others eyes. When or der was finally restored it was found that Hogart had fled during the melee, and that while several of the belliger- ents were badly bruised up, no one was seriously injured The riot was started by the minister's retort when interrupted by a member of his con- gregation He said: Amy one who will vote for free silver ought to be pitched into hell head foremost"

Asks Bishop Newman if He Gan Have
 Confidence In Him,

BOSTON, Aug. 6.-George F. Wash burn of this city, a member of the Ma tional executive committee of the Peoples Party, issued the following challenge to Bishop Newman of San Francisco,
 Dear Sir: The press reports of last week credit you with the state ment that the Populists are no better than anarchists, and are not good American citizens and that you would urge the 1000 ministers in your home conference to use their influence in the pulpit and out against the triumph of Bryan and Sewall and the election of a silver congress.
 "Now, sir, belong to the party you insult, and brand your alleged state ment as false and unfair, and chal- lenge you to name a single Populist in this country who is also known as an anarchist. I am called "a leading member of the church you represent. If I ann not a good American citizen may ask are my influence and money still needed in your church? If you are no more correct in your spiritual utterances than you are in your polit- ical can, we have any confidence in either?'

SOLDIERS AND STRIKERS Cleveland Still in Dire
 Trouble. The Strikers Seem to Dread
 the Militia.
A Soldiers Seriously Wounded Yes- terday-Several Of the Mob
 More or Lsss Injured.

ELAND, Aug. 6.-At an early hour this morning a crowd of strikers attacked a house where lived a non- union man who was employed at the Brown hoisting works. Windows were broken and the mob acted and yelled wildly. Soldiers appearing at the scene most of the attacking party scattered. Those remaining drew re- volvers and fired at the militia, the latter returning the fire from their rifles. ' Private Perkins was injured ser- ously and taken to the hospital in an ambulance
 Throughout the day there have been several skirmishes on different streets in the neighborhood of the hoisting works.
 The militia mean business and the strikers have a wholesome dread of the determined looking soldiery, knowing that they will obey the orders known to be issued to them in case they are attacked. The soldiers are complaining to some extent about the enforced duties, and many of them express the sentiment that settlement could be effected if the proper steps were taken. There is no wasted sympathy between the soldiers and the strikers, and the feel ing prevails among the soldiers that if it comes to the question of protect ing themselves or those under theil care there will be no compunctlo1 about shooting to kill.
 The closing down of several shops in and near this city is having a dampening effect on the strikers, and it is believed that an effort will soon be made to bring about terms of set. clement of the strike.

Territorial Library, sl'

library, sl6 Arthur and wei-Hai- Wei was the little Kotaka, a vessel built eleven years ago by Yarrow. She had some armor, not much it is true, only one inch over the boilers and machinery, and this enabled her to run in where no other boat could es- cape destruction.
 The British designers were quick to see the advantage of this slight pro- lection, and information has just reached here that Yarrow has just made a successful trial of one of the four boats built for Argentine, all in- tended to be similarly covered over the vitals with half an inch of high grade steel armor. While a slight sacrifice of speed is made to carry this out, it is held that it will give the crew greater confidence, protect them against the rain of small missiles which are really more destructive than heavier projectiles and SO make the boats more effective. Probably the idea will be taken up by our naval ex- perts before long.

st. Louis.-Mr. Bland believes that the
free silver sentiment Is much stronger in
the east than the majority of the people
suppose. Discussing the eastern sit

legates at large to Chicago, Mr.. Bland said
II am confident that if the free silver Issue
could be squarely presented to the voters
of New York we could win in that state
on free silver platform and with free
silver nominee. Tammany Hall has
never wavered in its support of Demo-
cracy. do not question Tammany's
loyalty in any event. The society would
enter the campaign, and the laboring peo-
pie of New York City would rally to the
support of bimetallism. The political
manipulators and the moneyed interests
in the east dominate in party councils,
but they could not control the voters on
election day. There would not be lack
ing loyal Democrats in New York to
make the fight for the party and wher-
ever the issue between gold and mono
