PASTOR BROWN AND HIS WOES
Mrs. Stockton Good Enough for Church
but Not for the Choir.

San Francisco. Feb. Outstanding
room only was to be obtained by late
corners when the trial of the Rev. c. O.
Brown for immortality was resumed at
the First congregational church today
The first witness was Rev. John Ray,
at one time assistant pastor of the First
Congregational church He testified
that he had investigated Mrs. Stock
toms reputation when she was proposed
for membership in the church and
found nothing Objectionable. Later,
when it was proposed to invite Mrs.
Stockton to enter The church choir the
pastors wife, Mrs. Brown, objected,
and she did not sing in the choir.
Deacon Dexter of the church testified
that after the Davidson scandal had
been made public Mrs. Stockton called
on him and said Dr.. Brown must not
drag her into it. She admired Brown
and would even lie and steal for him If
necessary, but he must not mention her
name in the scandal. Brown declined
to make any contract with Mrs. Stock
ton.
The council then took a recess to dis
cuss some matters in secret.
Mrs. Mary Davidson was recalled,
but her testimony was not important.
The council adjourned until evening,
when Mrs. Davidson. whose arrest for
the blackmail of Brown caused all the
trouble appeared as a witness.

THEY BOUGHT AND BURNED 1T
South Dakota People Adopted New
Plan to Muzzle Abuse

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 24.-The entire
outfit of the Mitchell Mail, presses,
type. ETC., was taken into the street
this morning and publicly burned by an
orderly and we'll behaved body of bust
ness men.
The editor of the paper, Robert Nc
Bride, has for long time been attack
ing various public institutions and
prominent people, notably the late John
D. Lawler, president of the First Ma
tional bank. Several years ago, Nc
Bride married LAWYERS sister-in-law,
the wealthy daughter of General Stur-
gis, u. S. A. After a few years Mrs.
Mcbride secured a divorce, and Mcbride
then began his attacks upon the bust
ness and personal character of Law
Ter.
Much indignation was aroused, and
Saturday night the citizens met Nc
Bride and offered to buy out his plant If
he would go elsewhere. He agreed, but
later decided to withdraw from the
bargain. The citizens thereupon ap-
pointed one of their number to act
as agent for Mcbride, and then PAID
the money agreed upon and took the
property out and destroyed it.

CERTIFICATES GO UP
Demand for the White Metal in Eng
land Increasing.

New York, Feb. 24.-In stocks today
silver certificates advanced 70 20 on
transactions of $4,000. The highest
previous price within the past few
months was 69h, October 10, 1895.
Authorities on silver say the rise is in
no sense due to speculation. Exchange
on India at London is now at the high
est point after a steady advancement
for the past 80 days. The largely de-
creased production of the white metal
has naturally depleted the supply on
hand while low prices tend to increase
the demand for use in arts. London IS
now a large bidder for silver In this
market, but finds the metal scarce.
Large sales of silver were reported
by bullion brokers, one transaction be-
ing a sale of 4OO, 900 Mexican dollars to
London One of the oldest bullion
houses in the street stated this after
noon that heavy transactions for 80,
60 and 80 days were made today and
business in future transactions for the
last three weeks had been the heaviest
noted by the firm during it's existence.
New York, Feb. 24.-Bullion dealers

POKED IN THE RIBS WITH A GUN
An Indiscreet Act Which Cost the Poker
His Life.

Roise. Idaho, Feb. PA special from
Delamar says:
"A man named Keller was shot and
killed by Charles Craig Saturday night at
Rockville, about 30 miles south of Cald-
well. on the Jordan stage road. 1t seems
that Craig and Keller had not been on
COON terms. The latter bore a bad repu-
tation and had been in several difficulties.
Saturday Keller was out hunting. He
reached Craig's cabin after the latter had
zone to bed. Keller poked Craig in the
ribs with a gun to awaken him. When
Craig awoke and saw his enemy standing
over him with gun, he grabbed his
six-shooter and shot his visitor dead.
Craig has always borne good reputation
It is supposed that Keller simply wished
to stop for the night, but Craig naturally
! Thought that he had come to kill him
| hence the shooting"

KILLED HIS WIFE AND HIMSELF
Strange Tragedy in Family at Mad
ison, Wisconsin.

ison, Wisconsin.
Madison, Wis, Feb 25.-Mrs. A. W.
Patterson was shot by her husband and
he then killed himself at midnight last
night at their home in this city. Letters
ostensibly from both parents were left
to the children, saying the husband and
wife resolved to die together This dec
laration, however. is opposed by the
fact that when found the wife, who
was in her night robe, had one arm
thrown across her face as if to shield it,
and a bullet in her arm, while her hus-
band was still fully dressed. Both at
tended the revival esrvices conducted
by B. Fay Mills during the evening and
had gone home apparently in the best
of spirits. The family came here last

their children at the state university.

trality laws was required.

4 SIGNIFICANT DECISION.


 The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company chartered two ves- sells of the Empire Transportation com pany and the Mitchell Steamship com pany to deliver coal at West Superior, Wisconsin. Owing to a railroad strike at West Superior the steamboat com panies could not unload their cargoes They brought suit for $20O day for de- tention, for each boat. The defendants set up that they should not be held lia- ble for circumstances so obviously be- yond their control The trial court held this to be a good defense, and 1t has now been affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
 This decision means that strike may be an extraordinary emergency" The compliments charged that the delay might have been avoided had the rail-
 road company hired men at 50 cents an hour in place of 40 cents, the latter being the prevailing rate and the strike being based on demand for increase
 to 50 cents. The upper court holds that the railroad company was under no ob- | ligation to go beyond the going rate"
 of wages. It adds: The exercise of reasonable diligence does not require an employer to hire, at wages 25 per cent. above the market rate, set of men who have abandoned its employment, without warning, in a critical time in the conduct of it's operations, and have banded themselves together to prevent,
 by intimidation and violence. other worlkingmen from carrying on its legiti-
 mate business; nor does it require such an employer to agree not to prefer faithful and willing laborers at going
 wages as it's employees, to those who
 have acted in this way at wages 25 per cent. higher.
 Once in a while law and common sense are joined in a legal decision. | This seems to be one of the times when they are so joined.

AN AFFINITY RESPECTED.

He is a very quiet, unexcitable man, and when his friends took him home to see the baby he did his best, though not very successfully, to be enthusias- tic. He undertook to amuse the youngster and allowed him to play with the small watch which the jewell CT had lent him while his own was be- ing repaired The baby was so docile in his company that they were left to- gether for some time He concealed the apprehensions that he felt and re- solved to allow his charge to have his own way without restraint. When the father returned he said
 What do you think of the baby, now that you are better acquainted with him?"
 You have one, of the most intelli- gent children ever heard of" was the earnest reply.
 You are beginning to appreciate his fine points, are you? Has he been saying Mamma and Papa and Day day for you?.
 No. 1t wasn't iii any such trivial manner that he demonstrated his men, tai powers. He has shown compre- hension of relationships and the fitness of things which, though crudely ex- pressed is something little less than marvellous. I gave him my watch to play with and he. swallowed it."
 Great heavens, man! You don't mean to say that the baby has swal- lowed 9 watch?"
 'Yes. But that isn't what shows his intelligence. Most any baby, if II am not misinformed, is liable to do that if he gets a chance. When that was gone the only plaything had to offer him was the key that winds it. And Pm blessed if he didn't swallow that, too!''-Detroit Free Press.
