missal.

Bishop Nichols has appointed Rev. III.
Horace Clapham to take charge of st.
James Mission. The new missionary eX-
poets to make his home in the Richmond
District, and will devote his entire time
and energy to the upbuilding of his
promising mission. Mr.. Clapham has for
some time been the rector of ST. Luke s
Episcopal Church, Los Gatos, and great
regret is expressed by his parishioners
there at his loss. His health has not been
very good lately, and it was in the nope of
regaining it in the sea breezes that he de-
cided to come to this City.
Bishop Nichols is anxious to utilize Rev.
III. Horace Clapham's talent in building
up church in the Richmond District. He
is man Of great energy, and is said to be
a very able preacher.
According to PItalia, one of the chief
organs of the Italian colony here, the
work of the Presbyterian Mission at North
dismissal of Rev. G. Vinai by the San
Francisco Presbytery. Commenting on
this matter yesterday this newspaper
said:
REV g. Vlnai depends directly upon the
Presbyterian sect, which to make a propo-
ganda of its creed called him to San Fran
cisco from South Carolina, where his daily
DTedu WAS 6eCuTeu we nave maze IN
quirieS as to whether the condition of
these churches is of such stripgency as to
necessitate the summary dismissal of a
man who is sick, has family depending
on him, and is without any means. We
have learned that many of the churches
are rich, especially the First Presbyterian
Church on Van Ness avenue, of which the
Rev. DIR. Mackenzie is pastor, and that it
could easily pay up its arrears to the
Italian missionary"
The article concludes by stating that
without an example of more Christian
charity toward the pastor there is very
little hope that any religious propaganda
undertaken by the Presbytery will accom-
plish anything at North Beach.
The feast of st. Aloysius, which falls to-
day, will be celebrated in ST. Ignatlus
Church with extra solemnity Rev.
Father Cottelli, s, j., will conduct the

FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES.
Forest Fires Around Superior Drive
the Farmers Into the City
Situation is Serious.

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 2S-[Spe-
cial Forest fires in this vicinity are
the worst today that they have yet been.
A southwest wind is driving them down
upon the outlying portions of the city
and the situation is considered serious
One fire started south of West Supe-
rior and ignited the fences of the driving
park. The fire department will be able
to save most of it and the buildings.
This afternoon Fire Chief Kellogg was
summoned to the county poor farm, five
miles east, and the city engine and hose
will be sent there if the situation does
not improve.
Telephone communication says the
flames are within a block of the build
ings and settlers from about there have
come in to save their lives. All of the
city fire departments have been out this
morning. The plant of the Duplex Wind
mill company at South Superior is
threatened: Reports from Dedham,
down the Eastern Minnesota, state that
bad fire is in the heavy timber and
within a mile of the town. Railroads
report trouble for thirty miles down their

A RACINE SENSATION.
Former Prominent Resident Of that
City is Charged with
EmbezzIement.

Racine, Wis, Oct. 3.-[Special. IA
sensation was caused here this morning
when the announcement was made that
a complaint was made to a justice for
the issuance of a warrant for the ar
rest of Edward G. Durant, formerly one
of the most prominent and influential
citizens of this city, now of Los Angeles,
Cal. The complainant is Frederick j.
Hendrichsen, receiver for the Hen
drichsen Manufacturing company. The
charge is the embezzlement of $4,000, al
legged to have been taken in February,
1891, when Durant was treasurer of the
company.
The factory was burned to the ground
some years ago and later Mr.. Hendrich-
sen was appointed receiver of the con-
Germ. He made an effort to secure Il
settlement with Durant. but in this he
was unsuccessful and he then sued him
for an accounting. The matter came up in
court and judgment was rendered against
the defendant. The court ordered Du-
rant to pay over S4465 with costs to the
receiver. All efforts to secure the
money or any kind of a settlement
failed and the issuance Of the warrant
today is the result.
Mr.. Durant was we'll known in tenn
perance and church circles and a few
years ago was candidate for governor
on the Prohibition ticket. He came from
Kenosha, where he was formerly en-
gagged in business at that place.
