SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-Dispatches

an account of raid by Chinese pirates on

Ex-PRIEST SUES FOR 100000.
Archbishop Corrigan, Bishop Keane
and Others Made Defendants.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-An old scandal
within the Roman Catholic Church was re-
vived in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
yesterday when Father Francis Dent, of
the FIfars Minor of the Order Of st. Francis,
brought suit for 100000 damages against
Archbishop Michael A. Corrigan, Bishop
Joseph l.. Keane, William T. Schley, law
yer, and Annacletus de Angelus, the head of
the order. Father Dents troubles have been
fought in the Brooklyn courts for several
years, during which he has been trying to
secure his reinstatement as a monk in the
order. Father Dents charges are as fol-
lows:
'"That the defendants conspired to inJure
him before the public, and that on or before
Oct. 3, 1888 they caused District Attorney
Ridgway to examine witnesses before the
grand jury for the purpose of having him
indicted for perjury. During the trial of
an action brought by Father Dent against
the Society of the Friars Minor. before JUS
tice Cuilum, on Jan. 8, 1898, Father Dent
identified a paper known as a rescript,
copy Of the original issued by the congre-
cation of bishops and regulars of Rome on
Jan. q 1884. Father Dent alleges that the
charge of perjury, based upon his testi-
mony, was false On Oct 80, 1893, he was
indicted for perjury, arrested, arraigned
before the Court of Sessions, deprived of
his liberty for twenty-seven hours and led
as felon through the streets of Brooklyn.
Three years later, on Dec. is, 1886, on
Father Dents motion, the indictment was
set aside. These facts We're printed in the
newspapers and caused him to remain under
a physicians care for three years. AS d
member of the Order of st. Francis he al
leges he had right in and to its property,
according to his rank a priest, during
his lifetime; that he was compelled to delay
the prosecution Of a civil action for $4,000
damages and for reinstatement, and COM
PEELED to accept 10000 is a consideration for
disseminating said suit.

entered the house of Mr.. A. r. Marti and
killed his bookkeeper, NJ Gauthier, after
horribly mutilating him. His seven-year-
old child also disappeared. Then they at
tackled NJ Dealce, clerk for the Fausse

He was taken to the hospital, however, and

Hall was tried in Rochester for extortion.
and the county judge shut out the news

Awful Work of lynchers.

Salisbury, Nd, May 26-Garfeld
King, a negro aged about Is, was
taken from the jail at this place early
this morning, harged 10 tree and
almost shot to pieces. He was a.
waiting trial On the charge of having
deliberately shot Herman Kenney a
white boy, about the same age as
the negro. The shooting was done
on Saturday night last and Kenney
died yesterday. Last night about 2
a. N. number Of men from the
neighborhood in which Kenney's
parents live rode into town and de-
manded the keys to the Jail, which
Sheriff Dashiel refused to surrender.
The lynchers then broke the jail
doors down, forced open the cell in
which King was confined and drag
ged him out, the negro all the while
fighting desperately and pleading
for mercy,
A light clothesline was tied about
his neck, thrown over a limb, and
the unfortunate boy was strung up.
The rope broke and he fell, seeming
ly unsconcious. After lying in this
condition for few minutes, he re-
gained his feet and made an effort |
to escape. His captors shot him
through the body and beat and |
kicked him without mercy, then
placed the rope around his neck and |
strung him up a second time. As
he dangled in the air at least fifty
pistol bullets were fired into his
body, which was left dangling in the
air, while the lynchers disappeared.

A SHOOTING DUCHESS.
She Handles n Gun In the Most APP

Of one of the most graceful ladies in the
land, the duchess of Bedford.
At CharlewOod, in Bedfordshire, the
other day a little group of people
watched her grace bring down several
high-fying pheasants in fine style, de-
spite the fading and uncertain light of a
November afternoon. There are sports
men as well as sportswomen whom you
heartily desire to be separated from by
good hundred yards when warm cor
ner is being shot in bad light, but the
duchess of Bedford is not among these.
She shoots not only with nerve and pre-
cision, but also with great care, and
does not follow" running or 1ow-fy wing
game, as some inexperienced and am
ateurish gunners are in the habit of do
ing, thereby covering half q dozen or
more alarmed fellow sportsrnen ana
bcaters with their gun barrels. The
duchess is cmiueutly indeed q safe shot
She has been shooting lately with a
light double-barreled 12-borewhich diff
fers little save in weight from the or
binary sportsman's gun.
The duchess Of Bedford is by no
means believer in the hattue as the
only form of sport with the gun worth
following. On the contrary. she often
finds nothing more agreeable than an
hour or two among the splendid Vo-
burn preserves with 4 cc.ple Of good
spaniels or 4 retriever as her sole COM
panion, and she does not hesitate TO
carry her own game bag. When the bag
is full it is practicable to hide the game
