THE FIGHT ON QUAY.
The Struggle to Eliminate Him From
keystone Stnte Politics.

Philadelphia. May 11.-Senator Flynn. OF
Allegheny county. who led the fight
against Quay in the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature, arrived here late this evening. To-
morrow night he will be the host at a
banquet which will be given to the fifty
odd members of the Legislature who stood
with him against Quay in the memorable
battle II is probable that during the
evening there will be some discussion OF
the plan that is to be adopted to elimi-
nate Quay as a factor in State politics.
The preliminarles have already been dis
posed of by a committee. of which Sena-
tor Bsyard Henry is chairman. 1t is sup
posed that the result of the meeting TO-
morrow night viii be that the members
of the Legislature will ally themselves
with the business men in an effort to put
an end TO the domination OF quay ana
his retainers in State affairs.
Whether any active part will be taken
in the State fight this year will depend en-
tirely upon the action of the State con-
venticn. II the nominees are men repre-
sentative OF the Republican party without
the taint of the Quay faction they will be
unoppcsed for election. In view of the
conciliatory attitude of Mr. Quay. this lat
ter course appears strong probability,
despite the strenuous efforts OF Quay
friends and counselors to force upon the
.'old man. a slate which would openly an
tagonize his opponents in the Republican
party.

New York, May 11.-Whether fourteen
year-old Joseph Rubin has been driven in

question that alienists will have to pass
upon in a day or two. The boy is in Ray
mond Street jail, Brooklyn. and is unhap-
py there, not because of the confinement
or OF absence from home and playmates,
but because his violin and he have been
parted perhaps forever. All the boys

declare he is prodigy. His parents. who
live at ass Stone Avenue. Brooklyn, tell
with mingled pride and sorrow how few
years ago the boy developed a love for
:he violin, and how after his father bought
him an instrument he devoted his whole
life 10 II. he played on it from the time
he awoke in the morning until he went to
bed again at night. Once even at o'clock
in the morning his passion overcame the
silencing power Of sleep. In his night
gown. sound asleep. his wondering parents
found him with violin in hand. passing
the bow softly to and fro across the
strings and evoking music the like Of
which they had never heard before. The
boy is small FOR his years, but has an alb
normally developed head.

A JURY OF sPIRITUALIsTs.
Mysterious Symptoms Concerning n
Dead Woman.

Evansville, Ind, May 1.-Spiritualists
have undertaken to unravel the mysterious
murder of Mrs. Storck. who is supposed to
have been strangled to death by some un-
known person several days ago, but SO fas
they have accomplished but little Mrs
Gray and Mrs. Rosenthal, who occupy the
house in which Mrs. Storck is believed to
have been murdered and where her body
was found. still persist that they heard
noises in the house and the voice OF Mrs.
Storck pleading with her slayer. The
statements Of these ladies have been Civ
en- widespread publicity and have caused
great interest here. Last night four spir-
itualists DR.. Rumener. an expert in his
line and Mr.. and Mrs. Willerding and
Mrs. Clark. sat up al night in room near
the one from which the noises have been
heard and endeavOrsd to communicate
with the departed spirit of Mrs. Storck.
The lights were turned low and every
thing possible was done to make the man
ifestations successful. Near the time when
the peculiar noises are generally heard one
of the mediums began to become nervous
and 1t was with difficulty she retained her
seat. When the paroXysm passed she said
she was impressed by her spirit bond that
Mrs. Storck met death at the hands of a
man, but that the murder was not commit

which Mrs. Gray and her daughter have

Is Now in Trouble.


Bridgeport. Conn. May 11.-Patrick
Clark had made fortune of between $75.-
600 and sSo,000 as horseshoer and black
smith and In real-estate trading when he
gave up his hammer and anvil five years
ago and launched in the oyster business.
He was not successful in this venture, but
still had $4,000 left. and as he was over
sixty this was thought to be enough to
provide for himself and his wife for the
rest of their lives.
But Mr.. Clark was still ambitious. In
October 1897. he went to Cuba to buy a
plantation. The war forced Mr.. Clark to
abandon his project, but after the war Mr..
Clark returned to Cuba and opened a CON-
mission house. which he stocked. with the
goods of three insolvent grocery stores
which he bought in New York and shipped
to Cuba.
Clark succeeded well financially. but 1t
was a bad day for him when he went to
Cuba without his wife. He became infat-
uated with native senorita, and. forget
ting his wife and family. married her with
in two weeks after they met.
1t was learned by Clark's wife that he
was drawing all OF his money from the
bank here, and through his attorneys con-
verting his Bridgeport real estate into cash.
He had sent nothing to support his family
since he went to Cuba.
Last December Mrs. Clark. accompan-
led by DR.. Bryan d. Sheedy, who is also an
attorney. went to Cuba to see Mr. Clark.
He had never answered any letters written
| by his wife, and she wanted an explanation.
| Very soon after landing in the island
! Mrs. Clark discovered her husbands per-
| fidy. His case was laid before Gen. Leon
ard Wood, Governor of the Province OF
Santiago. with the result that Clark was
found guilty Of bigamy and sentenced to
fifteen years in prison.
Dr. Sheedy has prepared divorce papers,
which will be filed in court this week.
| Mrs. Clark is living with three of her
children in a handsomely furnished house
at Park and Washington Avenues.
| The Cuban girl with whom Mr.. Clark
became infatuated is she who, having been
deserted by Spanish officer. went to the
church where the officer and n woman OF
wealth were to be married and shot at the
officer. Her aim was not true and the
bullet struck the priest who was perform
ing the ceremony. The woman was put in
prison, but when the priest learned the
reason which actuated her in seeking re-
venge he forgave her and she was released

st. Louis, May 11.-There was such
rush of visitors to the cruiser Nashville
today that several were injured. The
cruiser is anchored out in the river well
toward the Illinois shore. and the only
means of reaching her is in the boats of
the Virgins ferry and the Columbia ex-

provided. When the people began to
crowd aboard many were showed OF into
the river. The police were unable TO
control the crowd. Several women were
knocked down and trampled on by the
excited multitude. They escaped injury.
Those in the water were rescued. Special
excursion trains were run for distance OF
100 miles out, bringing many thousands to
the city. All wanted TO board the gun
boat, but few of them had an opportunity
to do so, owing to the gross mismanage-
