Steamer For Europe Leaves
Many Passengers
Which Her Steerage Cannot
Accommodate, For Next Ship.
Big Crowd Camps In Hoboken Park
For the Present.

Now York, June 17-More than a
thousand persons holding steerage
tickets for European ports were left
behind by the steamer Potsdam when
she sailed today with her steerage
quarters filled to their capacity of
2000. The thousand who were unable
to find accommodations on the ship
We're assured that they would be taken
on the next outgoing steamer. AS
early as last evening the steamers
steerage quarters We're filled, but ev-
cry train from the West brought in
scores of homeWard bound foreigners
who had purchased tickets through
the company's Western agencies. The
police had considerable difficulty in
holding back the crowds who attempt
ed to force their way on board the
Potsdam and several times clubs were
used by the guardians of the law.
Many of the prospective passengers
have little or no money beyond what
will be required to get them to their
homes and it is likely that they will
remain in one of Hobokens parks
where they are now camped, until the
next steamer sails
The great hOmeWard rush Of foreign
ers is believed to be largely due to the
extremely low rates now offered for
eastward bound steerage passengers.

Pastor |magines He Told
Untruth and Loses Mind.
Thinks He Made Wrong State.
rlent and bfOodS Over Il
Until a Mental and Physical Wreck
-.-1aken to Asylum.

Chicago. June ia dispatch to the
| Tribune from Sterling, Ills, says:
| From a strong man physically and
| mentally, to an inmate of an insane
asylum, wrecked both in mind and
body is the metamorphosis of prom
| inent minister of this city through the
lallucination that he had told a lie
about a member of his congregation.
Rev. Ezra Flory has for a long time
been the pastor of the Church Of the
Brethren, better known as the Drunk
ard church, in this city. Mr.. Flory
taught liberal Interpretation Of the
Bible. No word of his mouth admitted
of doubt until short time ago. His
intimate friends We're puzzled one day
to hear him speak of injuring one of
his dcvotees by speaking untruthful-
~ of him.
They investigated, learned that such
condition probably existed only in
the mind of their pastor, and endeav-
ored to lead him away from his mOrose
thoughts Their efforts were of no
avail.
From dwelling on the subject among
friends, the minister continued until
he included everybody to whom he
talked in his seIf-denunciation. Refer
ences to the bugaboO which en-
thra!led him began to creep into his
sermons.
Then the delusion grew to the extent
tina, he imagined himself pursued by
the person he thought he had wronged.
At last it became imperative that
something must be done. His case was
taken into the probate court and last
night after having been adjudged Of
unsound mind he was taken to an asy-
lum.
