A CHURCH FIGHT.
Rev. Mr.. oakes Of Kingston Relieved Of
His Pastorate.

Kingston, N. Y, Feb 15.-This morn
ing the classis of Kingston convened
again to consider the petition of the
consistory of the Fair Street Reformed
Church asking for the removal of the
Rev. Chandler A. Cakes, Phi D., from
the pastorate because of the careless
manner in which he had conducted the
church.
The case was summed up this af-
ternoon for the consistofy by Rev. DR..
Oggel, and by DR.. Oakes for himself.
The classis then retired and, after a
deliberation of half an hour, returned
verdict that the pastoral relations be-
tween Dr. Oakes and the church be dis
solved on March l. The vote of the
clasSis was Is to 4.
DR.. Oakes is to be allowed the occu-
pancy of the parsonage until April i,
and will be paid his salary up to June
l. The verdict was received in silence.
DIR. Oakes announced his determine
ton to appeal to the synod. and said
that he considered the offer of salary
until June as adding insult to injury.
1T Is trying to bribe a man for a few
hundred dollars when life, honor and
justice are at stake" he said. This
statement was received with applause
Moderator Davis stated that it would
take twenty days for an appeal, and un-
til that time the decision Of the classis
would stand and be in force.

HOLY CROSS NEWS.
A Sensational Story About His Resignation
Denied by Tommy Connect

A morning paper in this city, ever
ready to raise a rumpus and print any
thing to further this end, printed woe
full tale of the state of athletics at Holy
Cross College, yesterday. The choice bit
of news was to the effect that Tommy
Conneff, who has been training the
track team, had resigned, owing to the
fact that the team was weakened by
faculty interference. Conneff, when seen
last night, said that he had not left the
athletic team, but intended going to the
college every day until the meet of the
Boston College Athletic Association, in
which Holy Cross would enter a team.
Conway and McKenna are not with the
team, but the fact Is not due to faculty
interference for the loss of the relay
race with the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. McKenna has some work to make
up, and until this is done he will not
take any part in athletics. Conway has
abused privileges at the college, and is
under the ban Of discipline.
The B. ]. F. Debating Society of
Holy Cross College met Tuesday even
ing and discussed the adoption of the
rebuttal system for the next annual de-
bate, which will be held Tuesday even
ing, May 3. 1t was voted to hold a
special meeting next Monday evening
to decide upon method Tor SelecClng
the debaters for the annual debate.
The Dramatic Society of the college
has voted to put on 1.-THE Old Cronies"
as a curtain-raiser on the evening of the
annual public appearance of the society,
April 49, 1t took some time to decide
this question, as the success Of last year,
Gilbert's Trial by Jury seemed to be
very popular with several. New seem
cry is being painted for the piece, which
will no doubt prove a big success.
The basket ball game in the class Sc
ries between the sophonores and the
Specials. was won by the former by
score Of 6 to /. The last game of the
series will be played Thursday, between
the sophomores and the freshmen.
The victory Tuesday gives the Spe-
cials lead of 20 points over the sopho-
mores, their nearest rivals, and practi-
cally insures victory in the basket ball
tournament.

QUAKER CITY ELECTION.
Victory for Republican canoldate-EIec-
tlons Throughout the State.


Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 15.-The mu-
nicipal election in this city today re-
suited in a victory for the republican
candidate for receiver of taxes, William
]. Roney. His majority is conservatively
estimated at 25,O over the vote polled
by William H. Rhawn, the candidate OF
the citizens and municipal league
parties
The republican candidate for magis-
trate, David T. Hart, was also elected,
as was James e. German, democrat.
Under the law, the minority is entitled
to one magistrate, and but one candi-
date was nominated by each party. The
election was quiet except in the wards
enlivened by councilmanic contests, a
light vote being polled.
The principal opposition to Roney
centered in RhaWan. Charles P. Don
nelly, the democratic candidate for re-
celver, was conceded to have no chance
of winning, and Hiram De Walt, pro-
hibitionist, was expected to have small
vote. The fight for Roney was led by
Secretary of the Commonwealth Martin
and the backing of the city admins
tration
City elections were held throughout
the state, but except in one or two in
stances, were of no unusual interest.
Lancaster elected a democratic mayor
by majority of six votes over the
republican candidate. At the last cleo
tion the republican majority was 4S7.
The republicans carried everything else
today.
Harrisburg elected republican super
visor and gained a slight majority of
the other minor offices. In Pittsburg
the republicans scored a victory not
withstanding the division caused by the
municipal league ticket.

yEsTleATloN BEGUN.
Testimony Given BY spinners Before Com
mlttee of New Bedford.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 15.-The in
vestigations into the textile situation
under the Flynn order, oegan today,
the hearings being held morning and af-
ternoon in Odd Fellows Hall. The wit
nesses told the operatives side of the
story. and their testimony was taken
down by stenographer in the employ
of the manufacturers.
Milton Reed of Fall River, as counsel
Tor the Arkwright Club, was present
and cross-examined the witnesses The
operatives were without counsel. Sew
eral of the mill treasurers were present,
but rem. ined only a short time. They
will again be asked to attend tomorrow
to testify, and failing to do so will be
summoned in due form
A stir was created in the committee
by the public statement Of Senator
Leach, the chairman, that the members,
If preiudiced in, the matter at all, had
leaning in behalf of the operatives.
Several members took exceptions to the
remark. Later Mr.. Leach withdrew his
statement The hearing will be contin-
ued tomorrow.
Secretary Ross, house chairman of the
committee, and secretary of the Ma
tional Mule Spinners' Association, spoke
first for the operatives He reviewed
the reductions of wages since 1884. The
prices paid now, he figured it out are
20 per cent lower than in 1893, and if
there had not been strike in 1894 they
would be 80 per cent lower than in 1893.
James Cook, president Of the Mule
Spinners' Union, said that, in his opin-
ion, the Dingley tariff has not kept fine
goods out of the country as it was ex-
pected it would. He did not think any
hardship was imposed on the manu-
and ten years ago, ne said, there was
great difference in the amount of la
Dor required of a mule spinner With
much more work, the additional pay Is
about 81 so. While the wages have in.
creased, the price of piece work has
decreased. The wages have not been in,
creased in proportion to the price OF
labor.
John Waldron, secretary of the Card
ers Union, said there was no attempt
made by majority of the cloth mills Of
this city to live up to the particulars
bill.
Mr.. Waldron did not see any necessity
for the cutdown The only recommend

TRIPLE RACE LIKELY.
Opinion Advanced That Cornell, Yale and
Harvard viii Meet

Ithaca, N. Y, Feb. 15.-Charles S.
Francis, the veteran oarsman of Cornell,
who has been in Ithaca for the past few
days arranging for the purchase of a
home for Cornelrs coach with the Court
ney testimonial fund, was interviewed
before his departure for Troy today rel
ative to the probability of Cornell-Yale
race, the coming spring. Mr.. Francis,
who is owner ofsthe Trow Times, perhaps
is more thoroughly familiar with the
sentiment of Cornelrs athletic council
than any other graduate of the univer-
sity. While here he has been in CONSUL
tation with members of the council, and
to the Associated Press representative
he said that he was confident that Cor
nell. Harvard and Yale would meet.
do you think Cornell will row Yale
this year?" was asked.
Yes, l do and Harvard also. l have
perfect faith in the sportsmanlike and
manly spirit prevailing among the uni
versity boating men everywhere, and
certainly including those of Yale and
Harvard. Last year, Cornell and Har-
ward had arranged for four-mile race
at Poughk keepsie. Harvard asked Cornell
to admit Yale to the race. Without the
slightest hesitation Cornell gladly con-
sented. This year Yale suggests to Cor
nell that Harvard be admitted to a tri-
angular race at New London. Cornell
gladly acquieseed. If Yale backs out of
the race after suggesting it, it strikes
me that Harvard, through whose good
offices Yale had an opportunity to row
Cornell last year, would have just rea-
son to find fault with her New Haven
friends"
What do you think Of the suggestion
made by Cornell for the formation of
an intercollegiate rowing association
"The idea, believe, will commend it
self to every boatman. In regatta such
as the one proposed by Cornell, the var
sity and freshmen four-oared and single
scull races, in which crews and scullers
from every college in the country would
be welcome, would make most attrac-
tive aquatic program. In fact 1t would
soon become an American Henley, and
the great rowing event of the year, win
rrers of races becoming the undeniable
champions in their respective classes.
Mr.. Francis favored Saratoga as the
course for the general regatta.
1t is the opinion here that Capt. Good
rich of Harvard, who will confer with
Can't. Colson in New York city next Fri
dav. in order to evade the necessity of
two races for his crew the coming spring
will endeavor to bring about a triangu-
lar meet. It is hardly possible. however,
that Cornell will recede from the posi-
ton already taken.

zoLA TRIAL QUIET.
Proceedings Appear to Be More in Novel
lst's Favor.

Paris, Feb 15.-The arrival Of Emile
Zola, M. Perrieux and others at the as
sizes court of the Seine today, the eighth
day of the trial of the novelist and the
publisher Of the Aurore, was not marked
by any incident.
M. Clemenceau, counsel for the Au-
rore, read letters from Madame De
Boulancey, admitting the possession of
letters which Maj. EsterhaZy wrote her
between 1881 and 1894 and containing
| serious animadversions on France and
the French army. Maj. Esterhazy, it ap-
pears asked that the letters be returned
to him, but Nine. De Boulancey refused
| to do so in order to be able to prove that
she had not committed forgery. M.
Clemenceau urged the court to appoint
a magistrate to ask Mime. De Boulancey
| If among the letters there was not one
| containing the following expressions;
Firstly-Gen. Soussier Qhen the com
mander-in-chie of the French army and
military governor of Paris) is clown.
In our country, the Germans would not
show him in a circus. Uproar IN
court)
Secondly-"If the Prussians got as far
as Lyons, they might throw away their
guns and keep only their riding whips
to drive the French in front of them =
(FrOlOnged SenSaClon.)
Three amateur experts in handwrit-
ing testified that the facsimile was an
exact reproduction of Maj. Esterhazy's $
handwriting, statements which caused
further sensations in court
M. Felix Frank, lawyer of Brussels,
|, testified that in order to demonstrate
his evidence, it would be necessary to
have a blackboard, and that it would
require an hour to demonstrate his the
ory.
M. Frank made some long, technical
demonstrations and said:
"The majority of the experts started
on the false idea that the writer of the
bordereau had disguised his handwrit-
ing The bordereau, however, was writ
ten naturally and in a running hand,
which is identical with that of Major
Esterhazy."
The witness concluded with predicting
that some day 1t would be recognized
that the bordereau was not written by
Dreyfus.
Prof. Grimaud of the Polytechnic
School deposed that he signed the pro-
tests against the conduct of the Dreyfus
affair, because he was convinced that
respect for the law, honor and the
fatherland were involved. The whole
procedure struck this witness as being
extraordinary. He added:
III Splle OIL lie ulSSQ anu
acts Of intimidation from which l have
been the victim, here affirm that the
revision Of the case is crying necessity,
and intend to do my utmost to obtain
it."
The witness concluded by asserting
his rights as a patriot and his love for
the army, which brought forth hearty
applause.
Prof. Havert of the College of France
said he examined as an expert the bor-
dereau, and the letters of Maj. Ester
hazy and Dreyfus, as well as a letter
written by Dreyfus since his condemna-
tfon. The. latter the witness continued,
was devoid of resemblance to the bocde-
reau, from which he was convinced Maj.
Esterhazy was the author.
Court was then adjourned. The crowd
made no demonstrations, and the off,
GERS, including Maj. Esterhazy and Gen.
Pellieux left amid silence.

KENNEL CLUB SHOW.
French Bulldogs Have Place of Honor
This Season.

Boston, Feb. 15--The 14th annual
bench show of the New England Ken
mel Club opened in Mechanics building
here this morning with larger audi
ence in attendance than at any time in
the history of the organization. The
entry list was we'll filled and the judges
began their work at once, the exhibit
tions being made in four rings stimuli
taneously.
The place of honor this year seems to
have been given to the French bulldogs.
Mr. and Mrs. H L. Hunt and Mr.. and
Mrs. W. w. Watrous of New York are
among the exhibitors of this class
This afternoon Governor Grout of
Vermont and staff and Gen. Gilmore
were the guests of the bench show COM
mittee Of the club.
Frank F. Dole of New Haven had a
big winning in the bull terrier class

was entered. For winning first in the
winners class he was awarded a special
collar by the Bull Terrier Club of Am
erica Another big winner was D. E.
Loveland's Boston terrier bitch Tot,
who won four silver cups and four first
prizes. In the St. Bernard classes
James Bottoms handsome young He'll
gate Defender was easily the star per-
former.
John J. Taylor had hard luck with his
rose -eared French bulldog Babette. The
rose ears threw him out of the competi-
ton In the Irish terrier classes, Mr..
Taylor won first with Endfeld Rocks
and a reserve with Endheld Judy.
A meeting Of the New England Beagle
r4I -. -, ~
were elected members: James L. Ker-
nochan, Hampstead, L. l.; w. B. Smith,
Pawtucket, r. l., and John bennett,
South Attleboro. A proposition was
submitted by Mr.. Kernochan for a new
classification Of beagles, but the matter
was laid on the table.
The only startling incident of the
judging of dogs was the assault of a
handler on one OF the judges. The
former was disappointed that his collie
did not lake a prize and lost his temper
for which he was hustled outside.

LORD NEWLL SENTENCED.
Five Years Penal servtude the Result of
His Crime.

London. Feb. 15.-In the central crimi-
nal court, today, Lord William Nevill,
fourth son of the Marquis of Aber-
gaveny who was placed on trial,
charged with fraud in connection with
the suit Of Sam Lewis, the money
lender, against Lieut.. Spencer Clay of
the second Life Guards, to recover
FIJI, ,113 due on two promiasory notes
cashed by Lord Nevill, pleaded guilty
Of fraud, but claimed he was not guilty
Of forgery. He was sentenced to five
years penal servitude.
The court was packed with people and
there was an unusual assemblage of
ladies present, including Lady Nevill.
The prisoner was evidently i'll at ease,
for his mouth twitched, but he answered
to the indictment in clear tones. After
the fiutter caused by his pleading guilty
of fraud had subsided, the prisoner was
allowed to take a seat in the dock as
he Is recovering from a serious Illness.
Prosecutor Matthews narrated the cir
cumstances Of the fraud, as already
known, and at the conclusion of his re-
marks he intimated that he would ac-
cept the prisoners plea as satisfying the
requirements Of justice.
Lawson Walton, in eXtenuation, point
ed out that Lord Nevill had voluntarily
come forward to face the consequences
of his deception, and had fully con-
fessed. The prisoner, counsel added,
was in great financial difficulties and
had not realized that he was commit
ting a breach of the criminal law. The
prisoner, Mr.. Walton further remarked,
never intended that Lieut.. Clay should
suffer. He believed the securities would
remain in the hands of Sam Lewis
until he secured money elsewhere.
The judge said the offense committed
was Of the gravest nature. 1t was hard,
he added, to distinguish between the Of
fense to which the prisoner had pleaded
guilty and forgery. The judge added
that he was unable to find any ex-
tenuating claims and he pronounced 1t
to be as bad case Of fraud as 1t is
possible to conceive Thereupon he SEN
fenced Lord Nevill to five years penal
servitude

CRIPPLES ARRESTED.
Another Pair Of Migrants Locked Up in
Station |.

The Worcester police feel that they
are gathering in an organized gang Of
cripples, who have been working in
this city for the past few days. Inspect
or Stone and officer Gould arrested two
men Monday afternoon, who were beg
ging on the street. When searched, both
were found to have a stock Of cards, on
which was printed a poem, telling the
tale Of an accident which had befallen
them. Both these men were sentenced
to 40 days In the house Of correction
Tuesday morning.
Tuesday evening Officers Harper and
Moynihan arrested Daniel White, who
claims Pittsfield as his home, and JOS
eph Miller of Syracuse, in the East
Worcester district. They were booked
at station / for drunkenness. White
had a game leg, while Miller was minus
his left hand. Both had supply of
poems about them, setting forth their
misfortunes. This fact leads the officers
to think that the men are working to-
gether, and another peculiar thing Is
that they all have an odor Of iodorforn
about their garments, stronger than the
atmosphere of a hospital ward.
