A SALOON ROW
At Augusta, Ga, Nearly Leads Co G
Battle With Troops.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 6.-Much excite
ment prevails here as the result of the
killing in a saloon row of Dennis O'Con-
nell of the Fifteenth Minnesota by
Brown HadIey, a barkeeper. Many of
O'Connell's comrades swore vengeance,
and, believing that the police had ar
rested Hadley, planned to take him
from the officers. Shortly after break
fast about a hundred of the Minnesota
boys, who had no cartridges for their
rifles, stole pick axes from the regimen
tai company store and breaking open
the ammunition cases each took about
fifty rounds of ammunition.
The news soon reached the ears of
Gen. S. s. Sumner, commander of the
First division of the Second army corps,
and he ordered out the Third cavalry,
and Tenth Ohio and the ThirtY-fifth
Michigan regiments. The men were de-
ployed as SkirmiSherS and the woods in
the vicinity of the camp were secured.
The entire lot, fully armed, were finally
rounded up and put under guard. Gen.
Sumner ordered all passes confiscated
and placed the ringleaders in irons. The
military authorities refuse to make
known the names of the men under ar
rest. Hadley later surrendered and was
taken outside of Atlanta for safe keep

MAIL CAR AF1RE.
Mail Clerks on a Missouri Pacific

Kansas City, Feb. "a fire in the

with which several inches OF heavy oak

treacherous element, which was en-
couraged in it's work by the current OF

COMPASSIONATE TROUBLE.
Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross
Splits Over an Innovation.

New York, Feb. 6.-There is trouble
in the Protestant Episcopal church of
the Holy Cross, Jersey City, over the
confessional, and many of the members
threaten to resign if the innovation is
made.
The church is one of the leading Epis-
copal congregations in the city. 1t owns
a handsome Gothic edifice, and during
the last five years it has been very
prosperous. Previous to that time it
was known as Christ Church and fol-
lowed the low form of worship.
When the present rector, Rev. Angus
tine ElmendOrf, was installed, he start
ed at once to change the existing order
of things. By a vote of the congrega-
ton the name of the church was chang
ed to 1.-The Church of the Holy Cross"
and the form of worship was changed
to that known as high church.
Candles and incense were burned and
the officiating priest changed his vest
mentS during the services, but with all
the changes the confessional was not
admitted. Almost from the time that
Mr.. ElmendOrf took charge the church
began to prosper, and it has rapidly
become one of the strongest churches in
the city.
Pamphlets were distributed several
days ago among the members of the
church announcing that it was pur-
posed to introduce the confessional in
to the service. The little document out
lined the duties of the members under
the new rule and prescribed the man
ner in which they should conduct them
selves while at the confessional. The
copies of this pamphlet are being jeal-
ously guarded and it is difficult to get
a glimpse at one.
This intention to introduce the con-
fessional into the church aroused con-
siderable opposition among the con-
gregatiOn, and the opponents of the
movement are preparing a protest
against the innovation to be presented
to the rector and the veStry.

TUOHY-KAIN CASE ENDED
Mgr. MartinelIi Decides in Favor of
the st. Louis Archbishop.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The case of Rev.
John T. Tuohy, pastor of st. Patrick's
church, St. Louis, against Archbishop
Kain of that city, which has been pend
ing for many months before the apos-
1olic delegates court in this city, has
been decided in favor of the archbishop.
The official findings have been received
by Archbishop Kain and will soon be
promulgated in his diocesan organs.
The verdict of Mgr. Martineli has
four subdivisions, two pertaining to
Father Tuohy's sentence and the other
two relating to his future treatment
by the archbishop of st. Louis. Father
Tuohy is told to surrender uncondition-
ally to the archbishop all rights and
properties pertaining to the pastorate
of st. Patrick. He then is ordered to
make submission to his superior and
for penance to go into retreat for ten
days.
When Father Tuohy has complied
with those requirements the archbishop
ts ordered to restore him his priestly
faculties and to make some suitable
provision for his future support in the
archdiocese. This provision is subject
to approval by the delegates court here,
and if the place given Father Tuohy is
not sufficiently lucrative or of dignified
to ask the archbishop to make another
provision.
This decision ends one of the most
famous ecclesiastical lawsuits ever
tried by the papa1 delegates court, The
case has been in Rome and was re-
ferred here last summer for final re-
vision.
