PITTSBURG, Pa. May ia mob of
men and boys numbering about 1000 has
had possession of Turtle Creek, a small
town about eight miles east of here all
evening, and at midnight the sheriff was
called upon to suppress the riot. The
trouble Was precipitated by the board of
health trying to take possession of an
abandoned school building in the town
for pest house. The citizens objected to
this and when the board made prepara-
tons for the removal of six cases of
small pox in the town to the school house
this evening. they were met by the mob,
who refused to allow them to proceed.
Twenty-Five special officers We're sworn
in, but could do nothing, and the yolun-
teer fire department was called out. The
firemen found a full f1edged rio. in pro-
gress, but succeeded in dispensing the
rioters by turning the hose on them The
crowd soon returned, however, and cut
ting the hose, pelted the fremen with
stones and beat them with clubs until
the officers retreated. A number of fire.
men were badly cut and bruised, but none
seriously hurt.
During the temporary absence of the
SloWO several IlEeIHeu anu three members
of the board of health took possession Of
the building, where they will remain bar
ricaded until the sheriff and posse arrive.
About 1000 of the rioters at 10 clock still
surround the building.
Sheriff Mckinley and posse arrived at
1:30 and commanded the crowd to dis
perse. The men withdrew some distance
but it is reported their numbers are be-
ing constantly augmented and it is feared
trouble will be resumed later. The board
of health announced that one of the pa
tients would be removed to the school
building within an hour or two, when it
is thought the mob will again resist.
PITTSBURG, Pa, May 14--2 a. m.-The
advice of several cool headed citizens has
averted trouble. Harry Montgomery,
representing a committee of prominent
citizens, addressed the crowd, telling
them to allow the board of health to do
as they wished and the committee would
ask the court this nodning for an injunc-
ton restraining the board from using the
building as a pest house The crowd ac-
guessed and all of the patients We're TAX
en- in, and the school house quarantined.

MANCHESTER, May 13.-John E.
Redmond, seasonal chairman of the
United Irish Nationalist party, and
John Dillon, former chairman of the
then dominant wing of Irish parlia-
mentarians, appeared here to-day on
the same platform at the Irish demon
stration in Free Trade hall. Mr.. Red
mond said the meeting celebrated the
close of a disastrous chapter in Irish
history. For the first time in decade
he had the pleasure, he remarked, of
standing upon the same platform with
Mr. Dillon, whose presence proved the
genuineness of the reunion.
Much remains to be DONE" said the
speaker, "but the Irish parliamentary
party Is determined to let the dead
past bury its dead. At the very mo-
ment after the chivalrous reception of
the Queen in Ireland, when an oppor-
tunity presented itself to cement the
feeling between the two countries,
Lord Salisbury has misrepresented
Irish claims with cynical and brutal
frankness, offering an absolute NON
POSSUMUS to the reasonable demands
of Ireland
"His Lordship spoke of doings ahead
for the empire. If the forces he men,
toned were to dash on British shores,
there is one spot where they would
not be received as enemies or invaders.
He advocated the formation of rifle
clubs, but he will not permit Ireland
to enlist volunteers or to bear arms.
His proposal, therefore, is an insult
to Ireland, and, so far as the rest of
the empire is concerned, it is puerile
and absurd.
'Irishmen can now see more clearly
than ever the work they have to under
take. This task is again to make ii
inconvenient and dangerous to with
hold Irish reports. 1t is not by concil-
iation and appeals to loyalty that the
grievances of Ireland will be rene
died"
Mr.. Dillon, who followed, referred to
the pleasure he felt in meeting Mr..
Redmond on common ground and said
that the real significance of the reunion
would not be understood until after the
general elections
The meeting adopted with enthusi-
asm resolutions congratulating the
party on reunion, pledging loyal sup
port to the policy inaugurated by Par
nell and calling upon the Irish people
to support the United Irish League.

AN EXCELLENT SERMON
Was Delivered by Rev. II. r.. Bigger
Yesterday Morning.

At the Third Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning The pastor, Rev. II.
r. Bigger, Phi. D., preached an interest
ing and argumentative sermon upon
the subject, "Cheerfulness VS.. Despon-
dency," to large and attentive con-
gregation. BE of good cheer" was
the text of his sermon.
The minister began by calling atten-
ton to the fact that the text was
spoken by our Lord and Master to the
discouraged disciples when they were
in storm on the sea, and he inciden-
tally hkened life to voyage during
which at times storms arise, and we,
too, become discouraged. He next
spoke OF many causes for dependency
In life. With some people," he re-
marked, dependency is constitution
al. Sometimes dependency is the re-
suit of reaction after a great effort
of some kind. Sometimes it is the re-
suit of great bereavement. There are
times that dependency breeds like
malaria-from swamps. The same
causes produce similar effects in COM
mon conditions"
He thought that faith in God will
keep us from being respondent, and
fnstanced the case of Mr.. Gladstone,
who had a motto hanging over his
desk which was. Thou shalt keep him
in perfect peace whose nina is staid
On thee"
Rev. Mr.. Bigger said that Gladstone
attributed his long life and the vigor
in his old age to his optimistic visions.
In speaking of unnecessary despon-
aency he said that 1--WE give up too
soon; We see the discouraging aspect
Of things too easily" Continuing, Rev.
Mr.. Bigger said:
In our own times when municipal cor
ruption sways many of our cities, when
whiskey rings and the money power seem
TO defy the. right at the primaries, cleo
tions and in the caucuses when church
people stand by like towards and permit
these things without speaking in tones
OF thunder against them, it is time for
some one TO raise our shamed and droop-
Ing heads by reminding us that God lives
and rules and that we are His subjects,
and that we are bound to set our faces
like a flint against these public wrongs.
| tell you the Christian people of Wheel
ing have a shameful charge laid at their
doors. Not long since / was talking with
man who was not a member of the
church concerning fragrant evils which
run openly among us. And he replied;
you church people are to blame; If all
the church people of this city would rise
in their might and declare themselves
en- masse against officers who permit such
things contrary to law, there would be
an overturning here that would go down
in the city's history and send terror
through the ranks of the law breakers"
I had to acknowledge the truth of the
statement with humiliation and shame.
But just such accusations as that is go
Ing to do US good. 1t will awake US TO
our duty. Already the signs of the times
indicate that municipal reform is the or
der of the day everywhere. Let us not
be respondent. The right must pre-
\ vail for God lives. Z

\eople were wild with excitement, fearing

A PROFOUND SENSATION
Caused by Minister'S Address at
Toledo Last Night

TOLEDO, o., May 13.-During part
of the week Rev. F. E. Patton, a promi-
nent young Christian minister of this
city, arranged to preach from the stage
of Burt's Opera House tonight But
the audience was unprepared for the
terrible onslaught he made upon the
preachers and churches generally.
Said he:
BY the practice of the church more
people are doomed to eternal perditfon
than were ever caused by the saloons
or any other influence. Place no faith
in all your churches. Mark my words
that there will be reformation that
will shake the religious world to its
foundations. Isms and schisms will
be part of broken parachute
Rev. Patton will at once arrange for
a church edifce with regular church
services, and will have in the building
billiards, pool, bowling. etc, in the way
of amusements, but no liquor or to-
baceo. His sermon here tonight pro-
duced a profound sensation, and the
working masses appear delighted with
the idea.

Rev. Gregory Bleakley delivered a
very thoughtful sermon at the Wes-
ley M. E. church yesterday morning,
taking for his theme THE Model
Church. The text of the sermon was,
according to Ephesians 5:27: "a glor-
ious church, not having spot or wrinkle
or any such thing; but that it should
be holy and without blemish." Ills
remarks, which elected the closest at
tention from the congregation, were
in part as follows:
mo man can draw a circle around
his own denomination and say all the
members inside are the church OF
Jesus Christ and exclude all others,
who do not worship just as this partic-
ular crowd. To such the Chief Shep-
herd is ever saying, I have other
sheep which are not of this fold, them

Christ. This model church Is known
by some very distinctive marks. Ev-

day to join the church because it is
popular, because of society, or there is
a sensational preacher in the pulpit.

United against the saloon business
of our city and country, it has been

tobacco, $600,000,O00. For the theatre,

United for the enforcement of law

Christians. We must prove to pleas
ure seekers that we have joys in the
Christian life not to be found else
where. The Bible abounds with calls
to joyfulness: The children Of Zion
are to be joyful in their King.
This craze for sinful pleasure will
be turned out by the incoming of the

A NATIONALIST VICTORY.
They VIII Have n Majority in the
Paris Municipal Council.

PARIS. May 1.-THE second ballot
in the municipal election in Paris yes
terday in the districts left without def
mite results on May have given the
Nationalist twenty out of thirty seats.
This result fully justifies them in
claiming a great local victory, mas
much as seventeen out of the twenty
seats are direct gains from the minis
terial Socialists.
With the districts they carried on
May 6 the Nationalists win now con-
troll twenty-eight new members in the
new municipal Council. This gives
them sweeping majority. for with the
Royahsts, Conservatives and disgrun-
tied Republicans they can count on
forty-eight votes in body consisting
of eighty.
Thus the Waldeck.Rousseau cabinet
has suffered serious rebuff in Paris,
and the outcome is sure to be exceed
ingly interesting.
