Paragraph 74% (soda ash, "a of a cent

Aldrich said the United Alkali Com

England for the purpose OF breaking down
the few American factories which were
springing up all over the country and

Salvation" Donnelly Is
Convicted Of Wan
ton Cruelty.
Horrible Practices of the Head
of a Strange Sect in
Arizona.
Rejoicing at Tombstone over
Verdict Against the lnhuman
Hypocrite.

TOMBSTONE, ARIz.. May 2S.-A jury
in the District Court has Just convicted
the notorious Salvation" Donnelly of
wanton cruelty to children. DonneIly
calls himself 'the Right Reverend" and
is the leader of q peculiar aud mysterious
religious sect which has established
camp in the Huachuca Mountains. near
here. There have been many complaints
of his inhuman treatment OF children,
among them the case OF a lad who was
in prisoned in the big bakers oven and a
fire started under it, the child being
almost roasted TO death before liberated.
The charge upon which Donnelly was
convicted was that of .'ducking" six
year-oId bov in an ice-cold pond, after
stripping off his clothing, and then fog
ging him with carriage whip until un-
conscious. the child's mother being made
TO hold him while Donnelly piled the
whip. Mrs. Warring gton, the mother, and
little Joe, the victim, as we'll as other
members of the camp. testified as to this.
Some of the women tried to shield Dom
nelly, and testified that they had gwen
him aui horty TO punish their children.
Donnelly is looked upon as public pest
by those who don owe allie glance to him
and his .anatical religious views. His
camp is notorious as the ''hornet's nest,
and the proba bi!ities are that public
movement will soon be made 10 wipe it out
of existence.
During the trial Judge Bradley testified
that the mother of Joe Washington had
appealed to him once to place her child
beyond the Donnelly cruelties, but after
ward Donnelly overcame her maternal feel
ings and she said she did not want to bring
disrepute upon the camp. There is great
rejoicing over the verdict.

Miraculous Escape From Death of a

WICHITA, KANs., May 2S.-Friday Eight
Young John Olphant of Pauls Valley,
Ind. T., whose duty it has been for some
time to ring the bell a. the Methodist
church, dreamed that the clapper was GO
ing to fall and seriously if not fatally hurt
him unless he took the precaution to pro-
tect himself. The dream SO impressed
itself upon the mind of the boy that he
spoke of it to his family and friends, all
OF whom scoffed at 1t; but on Sunday even
ing when time came to ring TIE bell he
took a chair and placing it from directly
under the bell and standing in the chair
began to ring. Very soon the clapper fell
with terrible force, but as ne had prepared
himself Ior it no injury resulted TO MIN.
If he had been standing in his accustomed
position nothing short of a miracle could
have saved him from injury and perhaps
death. Such possibility as the clapper
falling had not even been thought OF be-
fore by any one.

Mr.. Atkinson is one OF the most able and

The grounds of my change of church rela-
