.PRESBYTER|ANS IN
PRETTY RACKET
Church Building Cause of Dis
pute.

Petersburg, Ind, June 5.-An echo
of the stirring times attending the
merger of the Presbyterian church
and the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, contaminated a few years ago,
was heard when the trustees of the
local Cumberland Presbyterian church
filed notice with the trustees of the
Main Street Presbyterian church for
the restoration of the property which
was occupied by the Cumberlands pre-
vious to the consolidation. The pop
erty is valued at S15 900.
Immediately following the cCIsoli-
datiOn of the two churches here loyal
Cumberland Presbyterians-the name
applied to those who opposed the I'M
ion-reOrganized and refused to accept
the conditions of the amalgamatiOn.
1t is this organization that demands
immediate possession of the old
church property. If the demand is
refused an appeal will be made in the
circuit court, and if this fails the mat
ter will be carried to the supreme
court.
The trustees making the demand
hold that the men who composed the
board Of the Cumberland Tresbyter-
ian church that decided away the prop
erty were irregularly elected and that

Foil Suicide Attempts.

Suddenly losing his mind and with

prominent farmers of Potter county.

oital for the insane at Yankton.
For a week or more prior to the
authorities of Potter county being no
tifei of his condition the wife of the
man and William Mann. a neighbor,
watched him day and night with the
object of frustrating efforts at suicide.
On two occasions the demented
a eluded the vigilance OF his guards
and only by a miracle failed TO sue
reed in ending his life. Once he Sc
cured possession of a dull knife, with
which he slashed his throat, but he
was detected in the act and the knife
was snatched from him before he
could infict a fatal wound. Failing
n this attempt he watched his oppor-
unity while the vigilance OF his wife
and other guards was momentarily
relaxed and rushed from the house to
a nearby pond, into which he threw
himself in an effort to end his life
by drowning. But again he was res,
cued, and it finally was decided to
apply to the authorities and have him
sent to the asylum where he can re-
ceive proper care.

PLAT WINS; MISS WOOD IN JAIL
Court Calls II Most Wicked Design to
Support False Claim by Per.
jury and Forgery.

New York. May 23.--Mae c. Wood.
whose suit for an absolute divorce
from United States Senator Thomas
c. Plat OF New York has been on
trial in the supreme court here for
several days, was committed to the
Tombs prison late yesterday after JUS
tice OGOrman had dismissed the COM
plant In her action and ordered her
held in $1,000 ball on a charge of per
jury.
The decision in Senator Platt's IA
vor and the sudden and sensational
end Of che suit came after a day which
the defense occupied largely with the
introduction of expert and other testi-
mony attacking The authenticity of the
documents by which the plaintiff was
seeking to establish her alleged mar.
rtage to Senator Plat.
Telling Evidence for Defense.
A handwriting expert testified that
in his opinion the body of the letter in
which Senator Plat was alleged to
have admitted his relation as husband
to the plaintiff was added after the
SClolol ~ a DFSH dlIlACN.
More telling still for the defense were
the dispositions by engravers and sta
TONERS called by counsel for Senator
Plat that the blank form upon which
the alleged Platt-WoOd marriage GER
tiicate was prepared was not litho-
graphed until three months after the
date upon which the marriage of Miss
Wood to Senator Platt was alleged to
have taken place.
Plaintiff Reiterates Claims.
Miss Wood vas recalled to the stand
in rebuttal. She was asked if, after
hearing the testimony about the mar
riage certificate, she still reiterated
that the defendant gave her the certifi.
cate, as she previously testified.
II still reiterate it," she replied.
Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss
Wood and pointedly questioned her.
She repeated her assertion hat the
marriage occurred as she had stated.
Senator Platt's counsel then moved
for a dismisasl of the complaint. 1t
was forthwith granted by Justice
O'Gorman, who In rendering his deci-
sion said
Forgery and Perjury.
81 cannot credit the plaintiffs evil
dence as to the alleged marriage, and
the testimony as it impresses the
court is that this is a most wicked de-
sign to support a false and fictitious
claim by forgery and perjury"
Forthwith Justice O'Gorman ordered
Miss Wood committed to the Tombs
on the charge of perjury. fixing bail
in her case at S., 900.

and no one can say in set phrases and

Mr.. Sanger says he saw from the

back in the lot, which Lyon refused
10 do. Sanger then drove to Miller,
about thirty miles, and swore out a
warrant for Lyons arrest on the
charge of grand larceny. The sheriff
went after the accused and the time
was set for hearing the case. The
defendant moved that the matter be
arbitrated instead of being heard as a
criminal charge. The plaintiff wished
20 be lenient with his neighbor, and
agreed to the motion. The arbitrat-
ors picked by the litigants were Ed

and s~torekeeper, all Of Bockham.
A day was set by the disputing set

DYNAMlTERS WRECK BRIDGE.
Vandais Evade Waterman and Set of
Charge.

New York, May pa new bridge
under construction on the Harlem
branch OF the New York, New Haven
was wrecked by d%ynamiters yesterday.
A charge Of fifty pounds OF the explo-
sive was discharged under the nrst
span, twisting the huge Orders and
practically wrecking the whole struc-
ture. Yesterdays outrage followed
an unsuccessful attempt to wreck a
bridge on the same railroad over the
Harlem river early Wednesday.
1t is alleged that striking workmen
have made frequent threats to blow
up the bridge unless their grievances
were adjusted, and as a result two
watchmen have been on guard at the
bridge every night.
Watchmen FeiIed by Blast.
Wednesday, when the futile attempt
was made to destroy the other bridge,
another Waterman was added to the
force and all three were on duty We'd
nesday night. They patroled the en-
bankment all night without seing a
SlSu " llulcdle INA NeISlHlDS was
not all right. Just as dawn was break
ing there came a fish near the first
span, followed by a terrific report and
the grinding INT tearing of the great
steel girders. Two of the watchmen,
who YER within fifty feet of the end
of the bridge, were thrown to the
ground. Hundreds of windows in the
vicinity were broken.
Fire at Fugitives.
As the watchmen scrambled to their
feet they saw two men dashing away
through the semi-darkness. A fusil-
lsIe of shots was sent after the fleeing
men. but none OF them reached the
mark and the men escaped.
1t is believed that it will take two
months or more to repair the damage
done. Much of the steel On the south
end Of the bridge is so twisted and
bent that 1t is useless for anything
except the scrap heap.
