SHIELDS QUITS THE CHURCH.
New Brunswick Presbytery Retorts
Calling Attention to the Prince
ton Liquor License

Princeton, N. J.. Nov 13-The special
meeting of the New Brunswick presby-
terry, which was called to take action
on the withdrawal of the Rev Charles
w. Shields from the Presbyterian
church, was held at Princeton. Profess
sor Shields announced his action to the
preSbytery as follows:
1T is with deep regret that find
myself forced to withdraw from the
Presbyterian church and enter some
other portion of the visible cathoIIc
church to which the good hand of God
may guide me in good time do,there-
fore, hereby withdraw from the 1ur1S-
dictiOn of the Presbyterian church, be-
coming independent, and respectfully
request that, in accordance with the
book of discipline, you viii record the
fact of my withdrawal and erase my
name from the roll. And 1 beg that
you will kindly do this without delay.
1 take leave of you with heartfelt rev.
erence and affection for the church in
which so long 1 have lived, and IN
which I had hoped to die. With earnest
prayers for the continued increase of
your labors and best wishes for your
personal welfare, / hereby withdraw
from your jurisdiction"
Immediately after finishing his speech
DR.. Shields left the church. The mem
bers of the presbytery by a unanimous
vote, referred the whole matter to a
committee Of five, who, after a lengthy
discussion, made the following report,
which was finally adopted:
f'Whereas, The Rev. DR.. Charles w.
Shields having informed us that he de-
sires TO withdraw from the Jurisdiction
of the Presbyterian church and re-
quests that his name be dropped from
our roll be it
Resolved, That, to prevent misap-
prehension of the action of the presby-
terry, the presbytery deems it advisable
to call the attention of our ministers,
elders, and members to the deliverance
of the general assembly of 1871 and 1877
in regard to the signing of petitions for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors as
beverage"

Judge Caldwell dissents from his as
sociates in a lengthy opinion in which
he says: The only weapon of DEFENSE
the laborer can appeal to is the strike
or the boycott or both. These weapons
they have an undoubted right TO use,
so long as they use them in a peacea-
bic and orderly manner This is the
only lawful limitation upon their use
That limitation is fundamental and
must be observed. 1t was observed in
the case at bar. to its fullest extent
If these weapons are withheld from

GOV. MOUNTS ESCAPE.
MotOrman's Presence OF Mind Prob
ably Saved His Life.

Indianapolis. Nov. '13.-The presence
of mind of n}otOrman on a Bright
wood trolley car last night, averted an
accident in which the loss of life would
probably have been inevitable The
car was crowded with passengers,
among whom was Governor Mount, re-
turning to his home in Woodruff AS
the car approached the Big Four cross
ing on Massa achusetts avenue, no flag
man was there and the car proceeded.
When within a few feet of the crossing
MOtOrman Allen A brahamS observed
an engine backing toward his car at
the rate of 30 miles an hour. An appli-
cation of the street car brakes would
have landed the motor in the track just
in time to be crushed by the engine.
Realizing this fact MOtOrman Abra-
hams applied the full current and the
car jumped the crossing at a bound.
but the hood over the rear end of the
car was entirely severed by the engine.
When the passengers realized their es-
cape they were much agitated. Cover

prompt action

HOT WORDS FOR M MALL
An Old Time Republican Editor
Speaks Out His Mind.

From last evenings Emporia Re-
publican:
Throwing politics aside and looking
at the life and fire insurance business
from a purely business and moral
standpoint. Webb NcNaU, in his ef-
forts to enforce a compliance with the
laws of the state, is right. Technical
ly, in the HillmOn case he was wrong,
but in justice he was right. The Clark
son rate book has just been decided TO
be an illegal and sWindling scheme by
the fire insurance companies on the
people of this state. EmpOua people
get it in the neck as does every other
community who patrOnizes these com
panies. You have no way to reach
them except through your insurance
commissioner the legally constituted
officer of the realm, and if he fails to
do his duty the business people of the
state who feel that they must carry
some insurance are at the mercy of a
com binatiOn of insurance Cut-thrOats
who are rObbing them in both the rate
and the adjustment of losses. We do
not necessarily have to endorse. Pop

former days not only a financial ques-
ton, but a great moral Ques-
ton, whether either life or fire insur-
ance should be allowed: but, the devil
and the cupidity of mankind prevailed.
and now, in the height of their rapaci-
ty and fraudulent practices these
companies are considered bulworks cf
safety and angels of mercy. However,
like the whisky question. and some
other questions closely associated there
with, it is generally conceded that they
should be regulated. After awhile we

REMOVING STATEOFFICERS
The "Removers" Having Got Round
the Circle, Start All Over Agein.

The work of removing all the ap-
pointive officers under the administra-
tion which was carried on vigorously by
certain partisan newspapers some
weeks ago and then dropped has been
taken up again.
Here is the general denial entered by
Attorney General Boyle to the latest
removal fake:
4 am not and will not be a candidate
for governor.
L will not be a candidate for con-
gressman in the Second district.
4 Will be a candidate for renomina-
tion as attorney general.
4 have had no disagreement with
Governor Leedy.
Il am standing by Webb McNaIl in
his fight against the insurance compa-
MES and as a matter of simple justice
to the people I will continue to aid him
as much as I can in my weak way. He
is making the right kind of a fight and
ought to be encouraged.
I am making an effort to discharge
the duties of my office although the
takers seem to have difficulty in un-
derstanding that I have business to en-
gage my attention and have no time for
idle twaddle."
The fact is, this administration never
removes anybody, good, bad or indif-
feTent.

PLAGUE AT THEBES, ILL.
Eleven Cases of Yellow Fever
Reported at an Illinois
River Town.

Springfield, Ill, Nov. 13.-4Dr. ]. A.
Egan, secretary of the state board of
health, received a letter today from
DR.. c. P. Spann of Thebes, Ill, which
states in effect that there is danger
of a yellow fever epidemic there.
Thebes is a small town on the Mis-
sissippi, IS miles northwest of Cairo.
The letter states that during the last
three weeks the writer and Dr.. w. A.
Phelps of that city have treated eleven
cases of sickness, which, in their opin-
ion, are suspicious and present typical
symptoms of yellow fever.
Two cases have had the black vomit
and one patient has died. The others
are considered in a critical condition.
DR.. Spann says:
1T is our opinion we are dealing
with an epidemic of yellow fever, and
we ask that you send an expert with
the utmost dispatch"
DIR. Egan at once notified DIR. L.
Adelsberger, the president of the state
board of health at Waterloo and re-
quested him to proceed to Thebes and
investigate the conditions.

Gently endeavored to make an arrange

event of war with the United States,
the go or so warships now building in

that upon the failure of these negotia-
tions the Spanish government entered
upon a deal with Chill for the transfer
to the Spanish flag of several vessels
about completed for the ChiIian repuD-
lie.
The diplomats referred to, express
the opinion that from the standpoint

unfriendly act towards the United

NERVOUS AT m11wAUKEE.
Minister Who Performed the Cere-
mopy Compliments Bride
and Groom.

Milwaukee, Nov 13-Although Mr..
and Mrs. Warren Wallace Beckwith
did everything in their power to cover
their tracks, when the news of the
marriage was received here there was
little difficulty in tracing them. They
arrived at 1:45 p m and as soon as
spotted by the waiting hackmen be-
cause of their extreme nervousness,
which they displayed, and their evil
dent desire to escape observation.
The young couple, after a half hours
drive, landed at the residence of Rev.
O. p. Christian, 581 Twelfth street. By
the time they had reached the minis
ter's house they had in a measure re-
covered from the nervousness which
they displayed in the depot. but at
the same time they showed that the
affair was giving them a great amount
of concern. They had no witnesses and
Mr.. Christian sent next door and called
Mrs. Henry Baumgartner, the wife Of
the president of the common council,
as a witness
Mr. Christian said the couple i'm
pressed him as being very dignifed
and in every way above the majority
of the Chicago couples who call for
his services. He did not, however, sus-
pect that there was anything out of the
usual until he asked the name of the
brides father, when the reply: Rob
ert T Lincoln" startled him, but as
he had put the parties under oath and
they were of legal age, he made no
comment and pronounced the words
which made them one.
The cab man drove them down town
to the Planl1ington, where they regis
tered as Warren Wallace and wife of
Chicago. Clerk Quinn was attracted by
the way in which the pair tried to keep
from being observed They paid for
dinner and supper in advance, and
were assigned to a room and had din
ner served there. During the after
noon one of the servants noticed the
door of the room ajar and went in.
The couple had gone and did not again
return to the hotel.
Rev. Mr.. Christian claimed that it
was the first time in his experience
that he had united runaways. How
ever, he had no regrets, as he had at
tended strictly to every legal techni-
cality. He said
I have never married a couple who
appeared to be better suited to each
other, and it gave me a great deal of
pleasure to perform the ceremony. She
is q cultured, refined and beautiful wO-
man. He is a handsome man. Both
carried themselves with a dignifed
air.
Mrs. Baumgartner, one of the wit
nesses to the ceremony, said:
The bride was a nice young woman
but I did not like the groom. There was
something about him to which I
could not reconcile myself. I cannot
tell, though, what inspired my dis
like"
