RE-ELECTED CHAIRMAN. Theodore II. Macdonald HonOred by RepubIicnn Town COmmittee.

| The republican town committee met last evening in the committee rooms in the Hoadley building for the purpose of electing a chairman to hold the position for the next two years. All the mem bers of the committee were present with the exception of Thomas M. Gurney of the Twelfth ward, who sent James Johnson as a proxy every ward being therefore represented. Major D. A.. Blakeslee of the Second ward presided at the meeting and S. J. Well of the Seventh ward was secretary Theodore H. Macdonald was unanimously re-elect- ed chairman of the town committee. It was voted to authorize him to appoint a finance committee.
 It has been complained for some time that the halls in which the caucuses arc held are too small to accommodate all who desire to attend and that often many are unable to get in. The adop- tion of the primary system, such as used by the democrats, has been talked of for some time in order to do away witff this objection. The matter was talked over last night and it was voted to authorize the chairman to appoint a subcommittee of three to consider tho matter and report to the town commit tee whether or not it Is advisable to adopt the primary system. Tn case the committee recommends in favor of the primary system the question of it's adoption will be submitted for vote at the next town convention. Chairman Macdonald did not appoint either the finance committee or the special sub committee last night.
 The present town committee consists of the following members: Waldo H. Minor, D. A. Blakeslee, w. F. Clark, A. s. Teal, J. H Pearce. J. V. Rattles- dorfer, s. J. Well, O. P. Ives. F. K. Loveland, G. E. Hall, J. R. Carle, T. N. Gierdng, M. Dingwall, L. Ludington and E. A. Lovesay.

ACCIDENT TO THE DEFENDER. Big Club Topsail Falls During Trial
 Off Newport.

Bristol R. l., June 6.-The big club topsail of the Defender fell to the deck this afternoon while the yacht was on a sailing trial off Newport, and mar rowly missed killing a number of the crew. As it was a big hole was torn in the mainsail and the pole of the top sail went through the deck into the cab in below, but fortunately did not in jure the underbody. The yacht was brought up here for repairs. The yacht had been out but few minutes with her mainsail and two jibs up when the crew started to set the club topsail: The sail went up all right until the crew be- gan to sway on the upper halyards when the rope parted and the big sail came down. The pole is forty feet long and on the way down the end struck the mainsail, tearing a large hole. The pole went clean through the deck. The yacht came up to the Herre- schoff dock under storm try sail and jib. It is thought that it will take four or five days to repair the damage.
 MT. Iselin came over to-day from New York and spent the afternoon looking over the Columbia. He expressed him self well pleased with the progress of the work, and said there was no doubt stated hour on Saturday evening" He refused to say who would christen the new yacht.

MINISTER CRUELLY TREATED
THE RET. GEORGE HIGGINS OF
 LETINI, MAINE.
for Two Miles Stripped of His Cloth- ing and Tarred and Fea of n Peculiar Religious sec.--Absurd Stories.

Bangor, Me, June 6-The Rev. George Higgins, the leader of the Holy Ghost and Us" sect in Levant was tarred and feathered late Monday night by an un- known mob. To-day the authorities of the county are making every effort to establish the identity of the offenders The affair was a most serious and brutal one. It transpires to-day that an at tempt was made to burn Higgins after the feathers had been applied, matches being applied three or four times, but some of the cooler headed ones put out the blaze each time.
 Ruel Clement, who was seized with Higgins, was rescued by friends after prominent male members of the sect were abused by the mob. Higgins was ridden on a rail for about tow miles. All his clothing was stripped off on the way except his shoes and stocks and his collar, which had resisted the scuf- tle. He was wounded in many places, but bears his sufferings with remarka- ble fortitude, quoting scriptures In re- ply to expressions of sympathy.
 Absurd stories are floating in Levant about the scourging of children and the killing of animals by the Holy Ghost people; also the giving away of prop cry, All these stories are without foun- dation. The sect made no disturbances and there was no persecution of children They did kill the swine, believing them to be unclean. according to Moses. The best element in Levant is greatly stirred up over the case.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
Mrs. Eddy. Founder of the Faith, Wel-
 cOmed i'm Boston.

Boston, June 6.-The interest in to- days meeting of the Christian Scien- lists, and, in fact, of the entire week $ convention, centered in the appearance this afternoon of Mrs. Mary Baker Ed dy, the leader and founder of the de- nomination. Her address, though bre, was listened to with rapt attention and with the greatest reverence. Mrs. Eddy arrived in the city yesterday from her home at Concord, N. H., and this after noon, much to the delight of a great concourse, attended the meeting at Ire mont Temple. As she entered the audi torium the audience arose and remained standing respectfully until she was seat ed. She was attired in an elegant gown of gray satin, covered with exquisite black lace. Judge Hanna made brief explanatory address, in which he stated that Mrs. Eddy came rather to hear than to be heard. He asked the audi ence, then, to sing hymn written by Mrs Eddy entitled Shepherd, Show Me How to Co.," and this was done with en- thusiasm.

THE MEET COMMITTEE.
Effort to show Corrupt Practices by
 Captain Price.

l New York, June 6.-When the Mazet l committee resumed it's session to-day | the first thing done was to declare that | in the future none of the witnesses sub should be represented by counsel This | was followed shortly after by the cx- | cludlng from the court room of Police | Captain Prices counsel, H. c. Tender son, who created a slight sensation at the previous sitting of the committee
 last week. The committee then, in an attempt to show corrupt practices by
 Police Captain Price, in the Tenderloin
 district, brought out from John c. Ellis, former proprietor of a Sixth avenue re- sort, a story of 'protection'' that did
 not protect. His statement involved ex-
 Alderman A. B. Waite. Ellis stated
 that Waite came to his house in West
 Thirty eighth street last October and
 collected $200 for police protection of the
 resort he was running in Sixth avenue.
 Ellis said he offered Waite a check for
 $50 to make up the agreed monthly in-
 stallment of $250, but that Waite re-
 fused the check. Ellis said that he took
 the cash to Waite's house that nigh
 The payment, he said. did not secure
 the protection" promised, and the po-
 lice harassed him as much as ever. FL
 lis then placed the matter in the hands of lawyer and had two summons is-
 sued for Waite, but the latter did not answer them. Another proposition
 made to him, Ellis testified, was by a man who was described to him as Chief Devery's standby in times of trouble, who wanted half the receipts of the re-
 sort which Ellis was then proprietor of. Another offer came from q man who, he was told, was central office detective, who wanted him to back policy game for $7000. The witness said he was forced out of business.
 Other testimony related to the pay ment of political assessments by candi- dates for judges and to the sale of li- quors on Sunday and alleged violations of the building laws by a third rate theater When William Nelson was called to. the stand he immediately started in to show his contempt for sev- eral of the Mazet committee He gave his testimony defiantly and at one time accused MT Moss of attempting to- blacken his character. At this Mir Mazet pounded his desk vigorously and called the sergeant-at-arms. Nelson said he had given bonds for many per- sons in the Tenderoin district and sold whiskey to several resorts in that local- ity Late this afternoon Magistrate Olmstead issued a warrant for the ar rest of H. c. Henderson, Prices coun- sel, charging him with disorderly con- duct The charge was preferred by Counsel Clarke and Sergeant-ut-Arms Crawford and was the result of the wrangle at the session last week. MT. Henderson gave bail in $500. The com- mttee will resume it's hearings to-mor- row morning.

FYTZSI1IMONS.JEF FIGHT. Chief Devery Says He Will Stop It if it
 Becomes Brutal.

New York, June 6-Chief of Police Devery tonight gave out the following statement relative to the action he will take in the Fitzsmmons-Jeffri fight next Friday night if it resolves itself into a brutal slugging match: From certain published statements of experts on prize ring and boxing matters, and from various sources, it would appear that the two wouldbe pugiistic cham pions who are down for sparring con- test at the Coney Athletic club on Fri day night next, or their packers or man. agt $, intenr to have, under the guise of Horton law sparring contest, gen. uine, old time slugging match or prize fight. If no such slugging match is in- tended, then the inference is that these statements and impressions are spread for the sole purpose of gulling and inn posing upon the public.
 Considering the parties to the con- test, their respective weights, 210 and 156 pounds, and other attending circum- stances and condition, it Is almost physical impossibility for the two indi- viduals referred to to carry on lawful contest for points on the coming occa- sion. The very nature of things tends to an out-and-out prize fight. l shall be present at the contest, and 1 shall personally see to it that the law is ob- served and that there will be no slug ging nor heavy hitting; nothing but a clean-cut, lawful sparring exhibition for points Any person who permits him. self to be beguiled or imposed upon by thinking otherwise will find himself much mistaken. It will be well for the public to understand that the first heavy blow struck will mark the end ot the fight"
