or to the alternative of 60 days in Jail.
The very Rev. James II. Blenk, Bishop
ol Porto Rico, has appealed to Governor
Hunt to pardon Father Villahoz, which
appeal the Governor now has under con-
sideralion. In justification of his action
Father Villahoz claims that the laws OF
church are above the civil code relating
to marriage, and says that his course has
been approved by Bishop Blenk. This
is the first approach to a serious clash be-
tween church and State since the occupa-
ton of the island by the United States,
.hough there have been other cases in
which defiance of the civil marriage law
has been shown. The feeling concern
lug the matter is intense and the decision
of Governor Hunt is eagerly awaited.

FACE THEIR ACCUsERs.

The youthful self-coniessed murderers
and train robbers, Peter Neidermeier,
Harvey Van Dein, Gustav Marx and
Emil Roeski, were arraigned in cour,
in Chicago last night. Marx pleaded
guilty to all the charges against him,
but his three accomplices pleaded not
guilty. During the afternoon the prls-
oners were removed from the Harrison
police station to the county Jail, where
they will remain until brought to trial
No excitement marked the trip to the
iail. Each prisoner was placed in sep
crate patrol wagon and was guarded by
seven policemen and two deputy sherlifs.
During the journey Roeski joked with
one of the policemen and sarcastically
said ~ would like to have you alone for
lust one minute" Shortly before the
prisoners we're removed to the county
iail Marx was confronted with his three
accompIices. Marks confession implica-
ting Van Dein, Neidermeier and
Roeski was read to the prisoners.
The bandits arrested in Indiana
refused to confirm or deny the contents
of the message. They were then asked
to tell whatever more they had to say
concerning their career. 81 am willing
to hang without the wink Of an eye if ]

Van Dein. "The same here, Nieder-
meier added. "You fellows get no more
than you deserved" Marx said. Some
time ago." Marx said to the Inspector OF
Police, 'I met the bunch in Orleans
street, where we intended to rob the
American Express wagon, and forgot
my large gun. This angered the boys,
and they told me to leave them. /

to the police that he and Van Dein had
made an attempt to kill Marx. RoesAl
also said that he had narrowly escaped
murder at the hands of his accomplices.

CHANGES IN HOUSE FORCE. There
will beseveral changes in the force Of the
clerks, messengers and other holding posi-
tions in the House of Representatives.
The men whose Influence failed to re-
elected them are being dropped or reduc-
ed in pay. The nest important change
will be the dropping of Capt. Thomas
Mckee, for many years thejournal clerk
of the House. Captain Mckee originally
owed his appointment to Representative
Steele, of Indiana, but Mr.. Steele was
not renominated, and so Captain Nc
Kee goes. He will be succeeded by
Hermann A. Phillips, at present assistant
journal clerk. Mr.. Phillips is protege
of Representative Mann, of Illinois.
Frank H. Wakefield, the tally clerk,
will also be dropped. He owed his APP
pointment to Mr.. Corliss, of Michigan,
who failed of reelection. He will be
succeeded by man named Jones, from
the district of Representative Samuel
Smith, of Michigan. Other minor
changes will also be made. Doorkeeper
Lyon announced his appointments yes
terday. Several employees have been
promoted and others reduced.

NEGROES LYNCHED.

In the presence Of crowd OF about
| 200 persons, composed of whites and
negroes, Phil Davis, Walter Carter, and
Clint Thomas, all negroes, were ynched
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock with
in a short distance of Belcher, which is
twenty miles from Shreveport, La. The
men were executed for particil ating in
the fatal shooting of Robert Adger, one
of the most popular business men IN
north Louisiana. The negroes confessed
their crime. They stated that they were
trying new guns, and when Adger ap-
peared on the street thought it quite ma.
tural to turn the guns on him. No shots
we're fred at the lynching, the negroes
all being hanged to single limb OF a
tree. Two of the negroes under arrest,
Sam Lee and Peter Thomas, were releas-
ed. Lee proved that he attempted to
prevent the negroes from shooting, and
established the fact that he was too fright
ened to shoot. Phil Davis and Walter
Carter were captured Yesterday alter
noon several miles from the scene Of
their crime. Clint Thomas was caught
later about a mile and a half from
Belcher. The negroes were taken before
Adger and confessed their crime. They
were held in concealment until shortly
before o'clock yesterday, when they
we're taken out and hanged. Davis is
said to be an ex-convict, and Walter
Carter was forced to flee from Mansfield,
La, about a year ago for insulting a
white woman. The negroes of Belcher
ioined in the search for the men and
we're apparently as eager to have them
lynched as the whites. One negro was
presented by the whites with purse OF
800 for the part he took in the pursuit.
The negroes who were lynched were
given an opportunity to pray.

A striking feature of Mrs Meade's presen-
tation OF the narratives of the Old Testament
is their being told in the first person The story
Of the Garden Of Eden and that of the death
OF Abel are told by Eve. Abraham tells the
story OF his commanded sacrifice of Isaac
Rebekah recites her winning of Isaac and the
arrangement Of her sons, and so on The
autobiographic cast thus obtained gives the
narratives much vividness though it involves
no little retrospective analysis. The characters
are preserved with care, except that their man
ner Of expressing themselves is somewhat uni
form. Cornmendable reserve is used in hand
ling the manifestations of the Deity and no
attempt is made TO visualize them. For in
stance in the Garden of Eden the dialogue
after the eating Of the fruit is omitted entirely,
and for il is substituted a crashing peal of
thunder. bringing with 1t a consciousness of
guilt the storm breaks. From here on
Ewes story is quite original She notes the
rising of bad blood between her sons over the
favor accorded their sacrifices. worries over
their absence after a quarrel and is an unseen
witness al the murder. 1t would have been
interesting, however. TO have put this story in
the mouth of Cain.
The old miracle plays on Abraham and Isaac,
notably the Bronze play leave little room for
simplicity and downright vividness in realizing
the scene. But the author of these tales has
added a most interesting variant. After the
lads question. pointing out that though they
have wood and fire. they have no lamb for the
sacrifice, and after they have reached the ap-
pointed place and the altar has been built. this
new turn is given:
