that according to evidence proouceu
before them the said A g. McAlllster
came to his death by cutting his throat
at the Union Pacific depot on the
evening of Jan. 10. 1897.
Now comes Mr.. McAllister and says
he is not dead and wants ii distinctly

him as a street preacher who had been

MoNsIaNOR sCHROEpER,s CASE
Before the Directors OF The Catholic Uni
veraLt-ProbRbIs Action.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.JThe board
Of directors Of the Catholic University
assembled in annual session to-day at
McMahon Hotel. Cardinal Gibbons,
chancellor OF the university, wearing
his robes of office, presided, and there
was a full representation Of members
OF the board.
The morning session lasted until
o'clock, and was confined entirely to
routine matters. The case OF Monsig-
nor Schroeder did not come up, but an
understanding was reached that 1t
would be taken up at p. m. Monslg-
nor Schroeder remained at the Divinity
building during the morning, pursuing
his usual duties, and subject to call,
When seen by an Associated Press re-
porter as to the movement against him.
he declined to discuss the case, saying
II would be manlfestly improper for him
to talk while the directors were in ses-
sion. He showed no concern as to the
outcome Of his case. From other rell-
bic sources confirmation was secured Of
the fact that Rome had spoken on the
Schroeder case within the last few
days. While there is no doubt that ac-
ton has been taken at the vatican,
there is q wide divergence OF view be-
tween those interested in the Schroeder
case as to the effect OF this action, ahd
the exact nature Of It.
II was stated that the communication
from Rome was limited to an express
sion of disapproval Of the controversy
within the University, and wish for Its
early termination. Persons favorable
to Monsignor Schroeder, however, said
the communications were OF more
specific character. The first is said 70
have been letter written by distln-
Eulshed cardinal OF Europe, setting
forth the result Of an interview with
Pope Leo, during which the status of
Monslgnor Schroeder was discussed.
The cardinals letter is said TO have
stated that the pope did not wish Mon
sIgnor Schroeder TO be removed. Later
than this, however and within the last
fcw days, Il is stated that Monsignor
Martlnelll, the papal delegate, received
q cablegram from the vatican, putting
In official form the wishes Of the pope
regarding Monslenor Schroeder, and
that these are favorable to the monsig-
nor. This view is not shared by those
who have been more prominently idcn-
tlRed with the University, the prevail

DANGEROUS FIRES


Buraing tn wstzsI aud Tyler Counties In
tho OH Rsgions-ThOuSRnds Of Dollars
Damage Already Done.
6peclai Dispatch to the InteIligenoer.
sISTERsVILLB. W. Va, Oct. eO.-
During the past few days there have
been very severe forest fires in this Sec
ton of the state, which have been doing
a great deal Of damage on account Of the
severe drouth, which has been prevalent
for the past two months.
The fires have everything practically
at their mercy, and 1t is impossible 10
do anything in the way OF extinguish-
ing them. Tho oil wells in all parts OF
the field are In great danger. and II
looks tonight as though there would
be a great many thousands OF dollars
damage done before the week is out.
A report was received this evening TO
the eject that big fire was raging In
the vicinity OF the Elk Fork field, and
that quite a number OF the wells there
were in danger. In Wetzel county, n
short distance from New Martinsville,
and about ten miles from this city. a
big fire is raging and all the available
men have been drafted to fight the
flames. During the day in this city and
the surrounding country the smoke has
been 10 dense that II would remind one
Of twilight.
There is large amount OF oil prop
erty in danger in all the helds, and the
operators have a large force OF men
ready, who can, at a moments notice,
be sent TO any part Of the field. Tho
estimated loss at present from the fires
now prevalent is away up in the thou
sands, and II viii probably be greater
thnn IL Estimated.
