FRESNO, Cal, March 26.-The peo-
pie of Fresno were aroused to a state
of warm indignation this morning by
the publication in the Morning Repub-
lican of an article denouncing Rev. 1.
T. Johnson, a travelling evangelist, who
has been holding meetings in the Meth
odist Episcopal church for some weeks,
for having repeated from the pulpit a
statement which he claimed had been
made to him that two-thirds of the
girls in this city were ruined before
they reached the age of Ia years The
paper also contained an interview with
the preacher, in which he admitted
having repeated the statement, but
declined to give the source of his in
formation.
A meeting of business men was held
to consider the matter and also to call
mass meeting in the evening to ex-
press the Indignation of the commu-
nifty. A meeting of the directors Of
the church was also called. The latter
had been in session but a short time
when request was made for their at
tendance at the conference of business
men, which was complied with, and
consequently no decision was reached
by the church officials.
Johnson was called before the meet
ing and made to sign a retraction and
apology. A large crowd had gathered
IN front of the meeting place and this
started the report that the crowd was
bent upon lynching, but as a matter of
fact nine-tenths of those who composed
1t We're peaceabiy disposed and had no
intention of doing the foolish preacher
any harm AT this juncture A r.
Briggs came out of the bank building
ana made few remarks to the crowd,
stating that the preacher had apollo
giZed and would probably leave town
at once. While the crowd was listen
ing to Mr.. Briggs the evangelist hur-
ried out at another door and took his
departure The conference then APP
pointed committee of prominent citi-
zens to wait upon Mr. Johnson and in
form him that ne must leave town.
The mass meeting tonight was at
tended by thousands of citizens. Reso-
buttons were adopted denouncing John
son and denying the Islander. Johnson
left town late tonight but his destina
ton is unknown.

The McGrath Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 20
Another theory has arisen regarding
Annie McGrath's death, to the effect
that the girl, being engaged to be mar
ried to a young man whose name has
not yet appeared, attempted to sever
her relations with Samuel 2. Lang
don; that the latter threatened to re-
veal their intimacy if she did so, and
she, fearing such disclosure, attempted
to kill him, and then committed suicide.
This supposition is borne out by the
statements of Miss Addie Griffiths, a
friend of Annie, who was with her the
day before her death. She then told
Miss Griffiths that Langdon was to
meet her that night Saturday, adj
ding: I'm not going to have anything
more to do with him. I'll tell him
when I see him that I won't keep his
company any more.
On the same occasion Annie COM
planned of a toothache. Miss Griffiths
went with her to a drug store and
asked for some chloroform. 1t was not
sold to her and she said she could get
it from dental student whom she
knew.
The statement of Bertha Stewart, the
servant employed in the Girard avenue
house, confirms the story that quar-
rel occurred between the couple the
day the girl died.
