THEY ROMPED IN CHURCH.
Trouble of most serious nature ba

Trouble Of most serious nature ba,
been brewing for some time in the
Seventh Presbyterian Church, at
Broome and Ridge streets, New York
and at last it has broken out in regu-
lar row, in which the pastor of the
church, R-v. john T. Wiids, and the
sexton, T. Black, an old Scotchmap,
are the principal com batants. The ami
mostly of these two for each other is of
the most bitter kino. and war of ex
termination is being waged.
The sexton is not backward in openly
giving his opinions. He says Pastor
Wilds has thrown the basement of the
CHURCH open to free ard easys," aod
mat young people have been rompine,
dancing and playing games in the ses.

Il is declared that Pastor WildS has
ssid dreadful things of bis coDgreea-
lion. The sexton quoted the following
from q pulpit address:
IL can count on one hand the friends
I've got in this church."
The sexton has drawn up a petition
asking the presbytery to remove Pas
TOR Wilos, aud in return the sexton has
been excommunicated, because of his
conduct in life."
The members of the congregation
are arrayiDg themselves 'for or

into the presbytery at its next meet
Ing, the second Monday in December.
An exciting time is expected, and
there is sorrow and foreboding in the

FIERCE FIGHT IN THE DARK.
Farmer scribner Held Up by Robber in
His Own Door-Yard.

Concord, N. H., August 30.-A farmer
named Scribner, residing in Webster,
went to his barn at O'Clock Sunday
night to feed his cattle, when.an unknown
man demanded 5000, which Scribner was
known to have in his possession. ssThe
latter refused to give it up and the stran-
ger struck at him with club. The two
men Egrappled and the unknown man
pulled knife with which he slashed
viciously at Scribner twice. The first
cut ripped Scribner's hat open and the
second tcut through his ). clothes and
wounded him slightly. Scribner broke
away and ran for the house with the in
tention Of getting his gun and shooting
the intruder, but while he was gone the
stranger disappeared
In the dark and excitement Scribner
did not get a good idea Of his assailant
and he Is unable to furnish description
on which the police can work. 1t is
thought that the man is member of a
gang which has been working through
th section, and another of which, George
true, was shot at Contocook, Sunday
night while trying to break into o store.
True has given to the authorities the
names of several parties who were work
ing with him, but they have not yet been
apprehended and connected with the
crimes.

AFTER HARRiTYS SCALP.
Chairman Garman Means To Do His Full
Duty as a Democrat.

Reading, Pa, August 30.-Democratic
State Chairman John M. Garman this
afternoon gave the Associated Press an
open letter in reply to that given out by
Mr.. Harrity last night. 1t says:
sIn your letter you state you were
elected national committeeman on the
unanimous recommendation of the Penn
sylyania delegation to that convention.
In order that this may be understood by
the people 1t may be well to remind you
that you were elected on Sunday; that
fully one-third of the delegation was abb
sent and had been informed by Chairman
Robert E. Wright that no call OF the dele
cation would be made that day
Assuming your election, and even
recognizing it, it still remains that 1t was
made under circumstances as you remem-
ber l stated to you in Chicago, that were
peculiar, if not positively discreditable.
Your letter is absolutely wanting IN
any expression as to whether or not you
voted for Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic can
dldate and as to what your course in the
future will be in national affairs.
AS Democrat in the full discharge Of
my duty to my party l must insist that
your place on the national committee be
vacated by you because of your retirement
from politics and that it be filled by an
active worker-whose loyalty cannot be
questioned.

GRAND LARCENY.
President of the United Telegram Com
Amount of $4,000.

Boston, August 30.-As the outcome of
the litigation which has been going on in
the courts of this and other states for
several months, Robert f. Straine, presi-
dent and director in the United Telegram
company was arrested this afternoon on a
warrant charging the larceny of S73, 371. II
from the company. The complaint was
the result of d petition to the court for
the appointment of receiver by stock
holder named VIM. H. Parker. who re-
sides in New York. Marsden j. Perry of
Providence was appointed receiver June
23rd. He recently reported that he had
examined the company's affairs and
found that there ought to be asse is to
the extent of S73, ,444.31. Instead he could
My find $76.14.
On learning what the report was Mr..
Barker consulted counsel, and on his ad-
vice brought the action which resulted in
the arrest of Mr.. Straine. After his ar
rest Mr.. Straine said he cared to talk but
little about the case. He said: GAN l
can say is that the matter has been pretty
well aired in the courts. 1t is a corpora
tion fight, and there are two sides to the
question now raised. Later on it may be
proper for me to present my side of the
case to the public. If think it ought to
be told then will give them all the
facts

Sovereign Confident as to the Outcome Of
Coal Strike. ar
St. Louis, August 30.-Many labor
leaders are in this city to attend the con-
ference Of united labor, which will take
action on the big coal miners strike.
The eyes of labor all over the country are
turned this way and the action of the
conference will be anxiously awaited.
j. R. Sovereign, grand master work
man of the Knights of Labor, in an in
terview with a reporter this morn
ing, said:
''It is simply impossible to forecast
what this conference will do. Nobody
can tell what it's outcome will be. 1t
seems to me, however, that all labor or
ganizations realize that the time has come
for them to put aside all petty jealousies
and form one grand amalgamation.
Whether this organization will be effected
here cannot surmise. ".4 s-.
"The miners strike,'' continued he,
is nearer won than many people believe.
If ever there was real grievance and a
just cause for striking, it was in this
strike, and believe they will yet win"
"H, said Mr.. Sovereign, in conclu-
sion, "they don't win, it is the last
What new plan of action Mr.. Sovereign
had he declined to say.
Fifty Strike Recruits.
Wheeling, W. Va, August 3O.-The
strikers camp near the Montana mines
gained not fewer than so recruits today
all Of whom have been working, but the
operators had nearly as many new men to
go into the mines
In the New river region few men wero
brought out, but the district is working
practically full. I'd &
Kanawha valley working forces show
some decrease, but the agitators had that
region pretty well tied up before. sb ia
AT Clarksburg the operators have been
chatting because their mines were tied o9up
nearly, while Fairmont carried off good
part Of their trade. Thus far no effort
has been made to start the ClarksbTg
mines, but it is given out today that un-
less the old men return TO work before the
end of the week the operators will begin
importing men. The Clarksburg men
are not likely to accept the offer.

little stock in the ST. Louis meeting. ex-
