Bribed by the Trusts.

St. Louis, Mo-, June 23.-Former
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee as
founded the grand jury yesterday by con-
Tossing under sharp questioning, by Cir
cult Attorney Folk, that he has accepted
money fron the sugar trust and the to-
bacco trust at time when legislation af-
fecting their interests was being cOnsid-
cred. To the amazement of every one
in the grand jury room except the Circuit
Attorney, Lee confessed that he received
; 900 from II. 0. Havemeyer and $3.50
from the tobacco trust The first sum
named, he declared, was given to him by
the President of the sugar trust for liter
airy services. Lee says he wrote some
pamphlets for Hayemeyer which the lat
ter caused to be printed and scattered
broadcast among the legislators of Mis-
souri,, and other states. Lee admitted
that he received $3.50 from the tobacco
trust, but said it was in the nature of a
campaign donation. Legislation unfavor-
able to the tobacco trust was buried in
committee that year.

FATAL MIsTAKE.-Mary Leyden, 30
years of age, a servant employed by Mrs.
Ahearn in New York, died yesterday
morning, having taken a patent insect
powder in mistake for Rochelle salt.
The woman complained of being i'll, and
Mrs. Rawley, daughter Of Mrs. Ahearn,
advised her 10 get some of the salts at a
drug store. She went out and returned
in few minutes, saying she had purchas-
ed the medicine. She took three tea
spoonfuls of the power, and in few
minutes was suffering great agony.
Mrs. Rawley found that the woman, in
stead of getting Rochelle salts, had been
given an insect powder. The physician
who was called said he thought the pow
der contained bichloride of mercury, and
that the servant had taken enough to
kill several persons.

Them with Their Fists TIL the
Police Reach the Edihce.
THEY UNITE AGAINST OFFICERS
REVOLVERS FIRED AND STONES
THROWN BY THE COMBATANTS.
Police Draw Their Pistols and QuelI
the Dfsturbance-Many Persons
Hurt and Many Arrests Made.

JOLIET, ILL.,, May 3.-Women and men to-
day fought hand-to-hand with each other
and then fought hand-in-hand against the
police In the Slavonic Roman Catholic
Church. The trouble was started by several
women as the collectors were circulating
through the church. There were 1900 men,
women and children in the church when
the fight began. In spite of all the protests
Of Father Kollar and others the church
members fought with fists and pieces of
furniture, knocking each other right and
left. Some one ran from the church and
called on the police for help.
In a few minutes patrol wagon full OF
policemen drove up to the church and the
patrolmen entered the edifce, which was
filled with whacks. thumps. din and tumult.
Bloody noses and lacerated faces were nu-
merous. The men had been penned in by a
stronger sex with clenched hands and pelt-
ed them with books.
BY the time the police arrived some of
the combatants had fled to the street. AS
the policemen entered the church those on
the outside returned to the fight, armed
with clubs, stones and revolvers. Those
within left off fighting with each other and
unitedly beset the police. Those from with
out fired into the patrolmen from the rear.
Women and children cried out in terror
at the sight and many men ran from the
church or leaped out of windows. Then the
policemen drew revolvers and threatened to
shoot unless order prevailed. The alright
ened combatants ceased fighting and the
policemen began to make arrests. OF all
the persons injured none had to be taken
to hospital Father Kollar, who entered
into the midst of the fighting in an effort
to calm his parishioners, escaped unin-
jured. Many arrests were made during the
day, but no one knows exactly who start
ed the fight or what it was about.

A demonstration was started against the
engineer OF the flyer. Some one shouted:
Get the engineer; kill him. and rusn
the engine. The police had forestalled them.
however, and an officer guarded eacn door
or the cab. The angry Poles stood ABOUT
and uttered threats until the flyer resumed
its trip into the station.
When Thomas III. Hart, the engineer who
was in charge of the Grand Trunk train
which ran into the crowd, was seen at his
home this evening he gave the following
version of the affair:
THE place where the accident occurred
Is not regular stopping point for 1ncom-
ing passenger trains, and unless the engl-
neer receives notice before reaching the
crossing or has the signal turned against
him he runs through without stopping.
we were running down on time To-
night and when we neared Canf1eld ayenue

but could not stop my train in time to pre-

about twelve miles an hour, the usual
speed at that place, and il was impossible
for me to bring my train to stop in the
short distance between my train and the
crowd
1T was fortunate that escaped with my
life, as there were many in the crowd

Kept on the Streets-Only Railroad
and Traction Lines Operated.

PENSACOLA, Fla, May 3.-For the first
time the Sunday laws were enforced here
to-day. Hacks were not allowed on the
streets. Livery stables were compelled to
close. Soda water and confectionery
stands did no business, and only the street
cars and railroad trains were permitted to
run, the county solicitor announcing that
for the present he would not advise inter-
ference with them. as two sections of the
state laws conflict.
The only Sunday morning newspaper in
the city was served with a notice to cease
work at midnight. The order was obeyed,
the paper being circulated before II o'clock.
Hundreds of persons who buy out-of-town
papers were disappointed, the thousand or
more papers arriving in the afternoon re-
naming at the postoffice. Large numbers,
especially among the poor, were compelled
to do without meat. bread milk or ice.

vile Railroad, where hundreds of men are
employed every Sunday, all work was sus-
pended at a loss of hundreds of dollars.

DISMISSED FROM PULPIT
COLUMBUS PASTOR WHO CLAIMED TO
HAVE SPECIAL REVELATIONS.
He Said He Had Received Baptism of
the Holy Ghost, and Was Able to
Cure Diseases by Faith.

COLUMBUS. o., May 3.-The Rev. Paul
L. Johnson was dismissed from the pas
torate of st. Matthew's Lutheran Church,
West Side, by the congregation to-day be-
cause of his declaration made from the
pulpit that he has received some new rev.
elations the Bible, particularly with
regard to the baptism of the Holy Ghost
and to faith in Christ.
He was remarkably successful in his
pastoral work at st. Mathews Church and
had just completed the erection of hand
some edifce for his congregation. The
doctrine which he preached TO his congre-
cation last Sunday. for the first time, is
that after earnest and long praying one
may receive a real baptism of the Holy
Ghost and that after that can heal diseases
and perform other miracles by the aid Of
faith.
He startled his people by declaring that
he had by faith cured himself of certain
throat trouble with which he had been af-
f1icted. Suddenly the trouble returned
while he was preaching and he was scarce
ly able to speak. He asked his people to
pray with him, as the devil was trying to
overcome him and after about ten minutes
he announced victory over the devil and
his voice returned with its former power.

RECORDS OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
Compiled I'm Two Volumes by Recent
Order of Congress.

Compiled I'm Two Volumes by Recent
Order Of Congress.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The government
printing office has just issued two quarto
volumes entitled Indian Affairs, Laws and
Treaties compiled by direction of Con-
gress by Charles j. Happier, clerk to the
Senate committee on Indian affairs. The
volumes contain every treaty made by the
United States with the Indians and all
laws, executive orders and proclamations
relating to the Indians up to Dec. /, 1902,
together with statistics of tribes, trust
funds, etc.
The commissioner of Indian affairs, in his
annual reports, has urged for some years
that such compilation be made for the
reason that the laws and orders relating
to the Indians were scattered through a
great number and variety of public docu-
ments, making it exceedingly difficult to be
sure that one had before him all legisla-
tion on any given question relative to the
Indians. The present compilation is in
dexed carefully and in its general arrange
ment follows the form of the statutes at
large.
