EX-PRIEST CAUSES A RIOT
HIS UTTERANCES NOT LIKED BF
PEOPLE WHO WAITED FOR HIM.

At the Close of the Lecture He Was Re-
ceiyed With shower of Rotten Eggs
Revolvors Were Used and Three Men
Were Shot During the Fight.
Scranton, Pa. March 23.--For a
month or more an ex-priest calling
himself Father Ruthven, has been lee
turing to women and men in this vicini-
ty, giving what he alleges to be ex-
posures of the methods of the Catholic
church. Afternoons he lectures to la
dies and evenings to men. Several
times during the past weeks the police
have been forced to protect him. He
lectured in Christian church, Dunmore,
a suburb of Scranton, last evening, and
some eggs were thrown at him while he
was on his way to the car. His stric-
lures on the church had greatly an
gered members of that faith, who are
in the majority in Dunmore.
This afternoon Ruthyen lectured to
Dunmore women and when he left
the church at $50 he was attended by
three detectives. A large crowd of
hoodlums was waiting for him and
saluted him with rotten eggs and snow
balls. We walked about fifty feet and
then drew a revolver and said he would
kill the next man who assaulted him.
Some one in the rear of the crowd
threw a missile and Ruthvep opened
fire. One of his detectives also began
to shoot at the crowd and unknown
men in the crowd began to shoot back.
Then Ruthven and two of the detec-
tives retreated into a house near by,
carrying one of their number, who
was wounded, with them. Ruthven es-
capped from the rear of the house
through vacant lot and ran away.
There was no pursuit.
Three men were shot. One William
Mink, received ball in his hack. Will
Seagraves, one of the crowd, was shot
in the leg, and a man named Kelley
was shot in the hip. 1t is stated that
all viii recover. Ruthven is to be ar
rested

CHRISTIAN CTTIz ENSHIP.
A Large Audience at Calvary Baptist
Church.


A Large Audience at Calvary Baptist
Church.
1.-THE Duty of Christian Citizenship"
was discussed at Calvary Baptist
church last evening by the Rev John
G. Woolley of Minnesota. The speaker
claimed that it was the duty of
the Christian citizen to use the power
he had for all good that could be ac-
complished by it.
Mr.. Woolley said that it was the
active energy of the policeman in the
case of emergency that made the dress
parade worth it's cost.
When seen sauntering along his beat
casting sly glances at the pretty
French maid the idea of his usefulness
grew small and beautifully less, but the
instant a runaway, a mad dog or mob
puts in its appearance there is sharp
and decisive action. 1t is then that we
know his worth 1t is not the province
of the police to compel obedience. The
dress parade is all right and worth
it's cost, but 1t is the doing that makes
it so. So when there is a bJc.y to strike
for truth and Righteousness it is the
striking that makes the dress parade
at the churches more than mockery.
1t is not enough that members of the
church should go to the sanctuary ON
Sunday in Prince Albert coats and
Prince Albert sleeves.
Every Christian citizen has a duty to
perform on every election day and he
has no right to go to the ballot box
making a compromise with Almighty
God to let him vote just this once for
his party.

DEAD UNDER THE BED.
CHASTITY Discovery Made by a Woman's
Husband.

Boston, March 2S-About 6 o'clock
tonight Hiram H. Morrison of No. 11G
Cambridge street reported to Captain
Westcott of station that his wife was
lying on the floor of their bedroom ap-
parently dead, and an officer was sent
to the place. In dark room lying
face downward upon the wreck of a
mantel bed the officer found the woman
dead with the upper part of the bed
crushed down upon the lower part of
her body. On picking UP the back Of
the bed q fire was found sInouldering.
This the officer extinguished. A physi-
clan soon arrived and upon the wo-
mans throat were found two deep
wounds, as though caused by fingers.
Meantime Morrison was taken back to
the station house, where he said his
WIFE, another woman and a male friend
had been on drinking bout all after
noon, but he himself had left the house
about 3 O'clock, not returning till $50,
when his wife was in the position found.
He could not account for the fire, un-
less it had been caused by a small
child, who was playing about the
rooms. The officers discredit his story,
and he will be held pending further de-
velopments.
The woman was but thirty-one, while
Morrison is fifty-two, and she is said TO
have been of very ugly disposition,
especially when under the influence of
liquor.

WILL BE Sadly MISSED.
The Death of Mr.. Helen L. Warren, Yes
terday Morning-Many Friends Mourn

The Death of Mr.. Helen L. Warren, Yes
terday Morning-Many Friends Mourn
Her Loss.
Death came to Mrs. Helen L., the
wife of Herbert C. Warren, of II. C.
Warren & Co., bankers, yesterday
morning, at her residence on Whitney
avenue at the corner of Bishop street.
Mrs. Warren had been an invalid for
ten years, suffering from the effects
of liver and stomach trouble, but for
two years her health had been some
what improved.
Two weeks ago she was stricken with
the old ailment and gradually grew
worse. DR.. w. III. Sage and DR.. c. b.
Adams were her physicians and all was
done to relieve her suffering, though
all were aware that no hope of her
ultimate recovery could be entertained.
She was taken much worse Sunday
evening and lapsed into unconscious
ness, from which she did not rally
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren had been mar
ried nearly thirty years and to Mr..
Warren the death of his wife comes as
an irreparable loss. The loss of the
mother is also a great bereavement to
the two children, who had been hoping
earnestly for her recovery. The fam
lily have the sincere sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
The deceased was a daughter of the
late Charles Perkins of Meriden. Mr..
Perkins was a well known business
man in that city and of the firm of Per-
kins g. Lines. Her mother was a sister
of the late Mrs. Philo Chatfield. A sur
viving brother is Charles S. Perkins of
Meriden, teller of the Home bank
The two children of the deceased are
Louisa and Harold P. Warren.
The family moved into an elegant new
residence on Whitney avenue about
two months ago, but it was to be that
Mrs. Warren should enjoy her beautiful
home but a brief time.
Mrs. Warren was &, lady of fine traits
of heart and mind. She was modest
and unostentatious and had the faculty
of making many friends. Her home life
was beautiful example of devotion.
Mrs. Warren was a member of the
Church of the Redeemer. She took
great interest in the work of the church
when her strength would permit and
will be greatly missed in that parish.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not been made.

TOLD STORY OF THE CRIME
MILO GRAY TELLS WHY AND How

Gray admits the killing, but claims
1t was accidental. He says he and his
wife We're riding in his wagon, when
dispute arose, his wife striking him in
the face. He returned the blow, which

of him, and to escape this he took the
body into the cellar of the old house,
and, covering it with boards, left it.
This was in the evening and he had no
light when at work in this cellar. Af-
terward he invented the story that his
wife had gone to Montreal and he sent
her trunk there to corroborate 1t. Gray
was questioned closely by Solicitor Ad-
mits, denying some Of the statements
made by witnesses in the preliminary
hearing.
Much sympathy was shown the pris-
