<BUT THE MOONSHINERS HOLD THE FORT. A Thousand Indians Recommence Their Heathenish Dances—Sad Triple Tragedy In Tennessee—Haiti more's New Sensation . —lawlessness in Pennsylvania—Novel Suicide. Oppose Sunday Funerals. In Baltimore, the subject of Sunday funerals called forth a very lively discussion at the meeting of the Ministerial Union. The practice of having funerals on the Sabbath was unanimously condemned and a resolution was adopted expressing the sentiment of the union that funerals should not be held on Sunday except In cases of actual necessity. It was also resolved that all the ministers should announce from their altars at the earliest opIportunity that they would refuse to attend Sunday funerals. SCANDAL ENDS IN DEATH. ‘Three Men Killed by the Defender of a Sister of Two of the Victims. Fentress County, on the upper Tennessee, :is ablaze with a sensation which resulted (In the death of three men and the disgrace •of three of the first families of Tennessee, and it all came of a scandal about a woman. Marion and Dave Beatty and Gwln Bowden !l!e dead in their mansions, and Edward jHarris, their murderer, is a fugitive from Justice with a SSOO reward offered for his and delivery at Jamestown. Three months ago Mary lleatty, sister of rtwo of the dead men and the belle of the upper Tennessee country. retired from society. Shortly after she caused the arrest of her father, Clayborne Beatty, :a banker and the richest man in the county, on a scandalous charge. The arrest raised a hornet’s nest and the sheriff removed his prisoner to another county to escape a lynching. The father was finally released on $5,000 bonds, and the daughter took refuge with the family of Hiram Harris, near Jamestown, who were her relatives. Recently the Harris family came to town with Mary Beatty, to appear before the grand jury to indict the girl’s father. On their return home they were followed by the Beatty brothers and Gwin Bowden, who tried to induce Mary to return to her father’s home. When she refused, they struck her over the face with a whip. Ed Harris undertook to protect her, and the three men then went at him. Ho turned on them, and, pulling a British bulldog revolver, shot them all three dead. Harris then kissed the girl and his mother, and, taking Bowden's horse, fled, while his father drove the family home. DRIVEN OFF DY MOONSHINERS. Twelve Deputy Marshals Get Decidedly the Worst of It. On Sand Mountain, In I)e Kalb County, Ala., a desperate pitched battle took place between a posse of twelve Deputy United .States Marshals, under the leadership of Deputy Robert Charlson. and a party of moonshiners. During the night the officers had quietly surrounded a noted illicit, distillery, and after daylight mado an attack on it. The distillery was surrounded with rock walls provided with portholes, out of ■which guns were pointed. Over one hundred shots were fired in the battle that followod. The officers were repulsed and driven off. Kirk and Sprouse, two noted moonshiners, were killed and Deputy Jackson fatally wounded. The officers went to Fort Wayne, where they will procure dynamite, and return and blow up the distillery. AGAIN THE MESSIAH CRAZE, .Cheyennes and Arapahoes Break Loose •» In the Ghost Dance. ■4 A courier coming in to Guthrie, O. T., from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe' reservation states that the messiah craze has broken out anew among the Indians there. Left Hand, head chief of the Arapahoes, and Old Crow and Whirlwind, chiefs of the Cheyennes, have gathered a thousand Indians about them among the interior hills, and for many days and nights have kept the dance up continually, declaring that they will not stop until the savior arrives. Other members of the tribe are daily joining them, and It, is feared they will cause considerable trouble.

BLOWN UP WITH DYNAMITE. A Hotel Livery Stable anil Eight Houses Burned in tlie Fire that Followed. At Altoona. Pa., the Clearfield llotel livery stable was blown up by dynamite at 2 o'clock the other morning. The debris took fire and spread to adjoining property, destroying five other buildings. Eight houses ■were also consumed. The greatest excitement prevails, as It Is feared by the people that an organized effort to destroy the town la being mada Deliberately Drove Off a Bluff. * A novel suicide is reported from Epes Station, Ala. A negro tied a jug of whisky about his neck and deliberately drove his fine team of horses off a bluff 100 feet high Into the Tombigbee Kiver. Tho negro had been a prosperous farmer, but bad crops rained him, and rather than give up his mortgaged horses he said he would kill both himself and them. Down the Fire Escapes. The “Sarena,” a seven-story apartment house at Twenty-eighth street and Third avenue. New York, was damaged SIO,OOO by fire. The twenty-six families who resided In the house all made their escape in safety, most of them by way of the fire escapes, with which the house was well supplied. Found Dead in the Woods.

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE. TerrlHe Explosion of a Shipload of Dynamite at Antwerp. A French ship loaded with dynamite and alongside a quay at Antwerp was blowfi to atoms by an explosion of her cargo. Her entire crew and a number of laborers who were employed on board the ship, with others who were loitering upon the quay, were killed. Fragments of the ship. Intermixed with human remains, were scattered about the scene of the explosion. Scattered legs and arms, hands and feet, heads and other portions of human bodies were strewn about on all sides. The exact number of victims will never bo known, for the explosion must have killed many strangers about the ship and the quay. The force of the explosion was so great that the whole neighborhood was shaken. Every window within the sweep of the concussion was shattered: doors were blown In and crushed as If by battering-rams. Persons at a distance were swept off their feet and hurled, bruised and bleeding, for yards. The roliee say they can form no Idea of the number of people killed. They believe that at least a hundred persons were killed. Another estimate places the loss at thirty, namely, ten men of tho crew, ten laborers and ten strangers and loiterers, but this estimate Is thought by the police to be far below the actual loss. Crowds surrounded the ruined district Immediately after the explosion, and their number soon increased to such an extent that the troops had to be sent for to maintain order and allow the searchers and police to attend to their work. Tho troops formed a cordon around tho spot, drove the people back and Ihe recovery of the remains was continued. Wheelbarrows full of pieces of dead bodies wero taken away. There are the usual strange freaks of a dynamite explosion. One of the ship’s masts Is said, by porsons witnessed the explosion, to have been shot upward hundreds of feet Into the air and to have fallen downward like an arrow. It Is now stuck deep In the mud of the harbor. Another portion of wreckage was hurled through the walls of a house, making a hole similar to that made by a shell fired from a heuvy gun. A human head was found 200 yards from where the ship blew up. One man was killed by a ship’s block which passed right through Ills body. For some time after the explosion a ring of smoke hung over tho spot like a pall. Several other vessels wero destroyed by the explosion.

WAR ON THE PRIESTS. Mexican Police Raiding Organized Religious Hollies—The Puebla Riots. Particulars of the religious riots in Puebla, Mexico, are to tho effect that they we’e caused by the enforcement of the law against organized religious bodios. It appears that priests and students for the priesthood had organized themselves Into societies of monks In various places, and It was the efforts of "the police to break up these organizations that aroused the people. The first arrests took place In Coabuila, nine priests being placed In prison. On the evening of tho samo day the “rurals,” with a company of policemen entered the Church of San Augustine and arrested, a number of other priests and students. As the soldiers and tho police were taking their prisoners to the station a rabble gathered, filling tho main street and endeavoring to rescue tho priests. All sorts of missiles wero hurled at the officers and many of tho rioters had pistols in their hands, but owing to tho coolness of the officers in command of the soldier and policemen, who kept their men under strict discipline, only one of the rabble was shot and killed, while another was shot In the leg. But a number wero more or loss injured by the horses of the “rurals” as they forced their way through tho mob._ Another body of soldiers and policemen proceeded to the old church and convent of El Curmen and arrested eight or nine priests and students who, it is claimed, had organized another order of.monks in that place.

TERRIBLE RAILWAY WRECK. Ratal Accident on tlic New York Central at Hastings. Two wrecks occurred on the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. In one, at Hustings, at least twelve persons were Injured or killed. The other Wreck was at Sing Sing, and while It resulted In no loss of life, caused a partial destruction of two trains and the delay of traffic for several hours. Train No 45, which was In the wrock at Hastings, left the Grand Central station at New York heavily laden with passengers. A half hour later limited No. 7, which makes but one stop between Now York and Albany, pulled out. It was also crowded with passengers. Train No. 45 was compelled to slow up and finally came to a standstill when at Willow Point because of the smash-up at Sing Sing. So far as can be ascertained no precautions were taken to signal trains In the rear, for No. 7 came thundering along at forty miles an hour and crashed into the sleeper attached to No. 45. This contained eighteen passengers. The engine of No. 7 completely telescoped the sleeper and was driven right through the other cars. Then the boiler exploded, and those passengers who had not been killed outright were scalded by the escaping steprn.

FLED AVITH HIS BRIDE’S CASH. A St. Louis Willow Duped by a Cunning Dane—Man and Money Gone. A St. Louis bride, somewhat elderly, is stranded in Cleveland, Ohio, minus her husband and a neat sum of hard cash. A little over threo weeks ago John Anderson, abroad-shouldered, six-foot Dane, with a black mustache and the most charming broken English, made the acquaintance of Mrs. Ellen Purcell, an Irish grocery-keeper and a widow aged 50 years, who lived at 238 Montrose street, St. Louis. Mrs. Purcell was prosperous aud so she thought Anderson to be, for he said he was a wealthy ranchowner, with a magntflceat tropical residence at San Miguel, Cal. He wooed her for three weeks and they were married. The bride gave her grocery business to her sister, sewed 81.200 in cash in an underskirt, and the happy couple started for California via Cleveland, Anderson claiming that an excursion rate from that city would save them considerable expense. He was evidently headed for tidewater in the East, however. They arrived in Cleveland and lodged at the Forest City House. At breakfast Anderson hurried with his meal and left his bride at the table. When she went to their room she found their trunks gone and her skirt ripped open and the $1,200 missing. The police were notified, but Anderson lost no time and had departed on a train for the East.

DAVITT IS DEFEATED. The Farnellites Score a Great Yietory at Waterford. The Parnelllte party has secured a new lease of life and the adherents of the dead leader are wild with joy. The election at Waterford resulted In a victory for John E. Redmond, who defeated Michael Davitt (McCarthyite) for member of Parliament to succeed the late Richard Power. The result Is a heavy blow to the McCarthyltes, who were confident of victory. It is now believed to be certain that the followers of the late Mr. Parnell, as represented under the leadership of Mr. Redmond, will win a number of other seats and be able to maintain themselves as a distinct party for some time to come. The l’arnelites had been driven Into their last lntrencbment, into the last ditch, but they rallied nobly, fought with the most grim determination and have handsomely routed their enemies. USED A MAN FOR A SHIELD. Clerk Laldlaw Tell* Why He Proposes to Make Russell Sage Give Up •100,000. W. B. Laidlaw, the broker’s clerk who was injured by the explosion of the bomb in Russell Sage’s office, said to a reporter

that it was true that ho intended to bring suit against Mr. Sage for SIOO,OOO damages. He proposed to do this, he said, on the advice of friends who told him that he had a very good case against the millionaire. “I will base my claim for damages,” said Mr, Laldlaw. “upon the fact that Mr. Sage deliberately used me as a shield between Ifimself and the dynamiter. I came in just after Mr. Sage had read the threatening letter which had been handed him, and he stepped behind mo so that my body protected him from his visitor. Ho caught my left hand in his so that I could not get away. Mr. Suge knew from the letter he had just read that some effort would be made to Injure him by his visitor, while I was absolutely ignorant of what was about to occur.” ATE FOLK CANS OF SALMON.

BLOODY WORK IN ALABAMA.

Tliey Rob a Merchant’s Store, Bum His House, and Kill or Malm tlie Occupants. The notorious outlaw, Job Sims, has returned to Choctaw County, Ala. Mr. John McMillan, a merchant of Choctaw County, was receiving a load of merchandise fr. tn ihe landing, and Job Sims levcJed a 'Winchester ride on the driver and made him unload the goods at Sims’ house, and sent McMillan word he would burn his house and kill him. McMillan's house was guarded that night, but one night recently at 11 oYio k seven of the Sims gang, all armed with Winchesters, fired McMillan’s house and shot the occupants as they ran out. Charley Utsy escaped unhurt: Fluollen Utsy was shot, but not mortally wounded; John Kennedy, McMillan’s father-in-law, was killed; John McMil.an was shot three times and w 11 die; the 12-year-old niece of McMillan was killed; a 10-year-old nephew was shot in the house and burned up: > lss 1 olio McKenzie, a school teacher boarding at McMillan’s, was shot twice in the neck. 'I he miscreants then opened McMillan’s store, robbed it of what goods they wanted, and left It lighted up and open, scattering shoes along the road. Kims’ daughters are dressed In men’s clothes and armed with Winchesters at Sims’ house, and are supposed to be part of the seven. A large body of m-n are after the gang, and will never stop until they catch them.

LEAD FOUND IN MISSOURI.

Important Discovery of Ore Reported to Have Keen Made Near St. Joseph. A valuab'e vein of had ore was accidentally discovered about five miles east of St. Joseph, Mo. H. 15. Cornell, a farmer, was hunting along tho banks of a small creek, wht n he noticed a peculiarlooking mineral cropping out of a small ledge at the top of the bank. He made an examination and discovered what he believed to be lead ore A sample of it was brought to tho city, anti, having been tested, is pronouncod almost pure lead, the proportion of mineral being 94 per cent A large quantity of it has been sent to St Louis for assay, and if the report is favorable mining operations will be begun on an extensive scale. Mr. Cornoll, on a second examination of the ledge, discovered that there was apparently an almost inexhaustible supply of the mineral in sight He who thinks better of his neighbors than they deserve cannot be a bad man, for the standard by which his judgment is formed is the goodness of his own heart. It is the base only who believe all men base, or, in other words, like themsehes.

END OF THE SIMS GANG.

SEVEN ALABAMA OUTLAWS STRUNG UP. Four Members of the Savage Family and Hob Sims Taken from a Sheriff's Posse and Lynched—Two More Follow Soon After Captured at the Muzzle of a Cannon. Alabama Justice. Bob Sims and two members of his bloodthirsty gang named Thomas and John Savage were lynched in Choctaw County, Alabama, by a mob. John Savage, a son of Thomas, was only 19 years of age The Sims gang had been guilty of many crimes, the culmination coming when the McMillan family was murdered because of some trouble about land, the circumstances of the fiendish crime having been already related. The people of Choctaw County, tired of the bloody doings of Hob Sims and his crew, determined that no appeal to law was tolerable at this time,and that summary justice be meted out A sheriffs posse, armed with a six-pound cannon, proceeded to Sims’ cottage, determined to take the outlaw d* ad or alive. Sims and his two companions were heavily armed, and had expected to hold the cottage until night, when a dash for liberty would bo made. Cn seeing the cannon, however, the outlaw sought to “parley” with the Sheriff, offering to surrender if the Sheriff would guarantee him protect’on from the members of the posse. This the Sheriff sa d he could not do under the existing state of atlairs and tho intense excitement prevailing, but he would do the next best thing he could and give him a guard of fifty armed men. This proposition Sims finally accepted, saying that by holding out ho felt he would sacrifice Ihe lives of his wife and daughters, at the same time remarking that lie did not expect he would get as lar as Butler either dead or alive.

The armed guard started with tho prisoners, consisting of Bob Sims, Tom Ravage and two sons of John Savage on the journey to Butler. After their departure tho remainder of the crowd, which had gathered at the scene, numbering about 150 determined men, held a meeting and took counsel as to what action was advisable. It was soon determined that the prisoners should be lynched, so, mounting their horses, they started In pursuit On the road they met John Savage, previously reported as captured and hanged Christmas live Without much ado they put a rope around his-neck and strung him ud to a convenient tree Continuing on, they overtook tho other prisoners about two miles from the starting point and, returning with them to the same tree from whic.i John Savage was hanging, the mob adjusted rop;s about their uecks and mounted them two at a time In a buggy, t ims and one of the younger Savages were the first of those who surrendered to fall victims to the fury of the enraged popu a e. When asked if he had anything to say, Sims replied, defiant y: “Come, feel m/puse, and see if you think 1 am a coward.” The buggy was then driven out from under them and they swung into etern.ty. In like manner Tom Savage and his nephew were hanged ts the same tree. Tho Savages pleaded for mercy and declared their innocencK, while Sims refused to be blindfolded, assisted in adjusting tho "lope about his neck, and took things as coolly as though eating a t hristmas dinner instead of playing a leading role in a tragedy which was to land him in eternity. After the ljnchinti the mob formed n a circle about the dangling bodies, which they filled with lead. They then dispersed in tho direction of their several homos Miss Bode McKinzie, the young lady school teacher, who was board.tig at McMillan's and who was shot three times in the neck when Sims attacked the McMillan homestead, is dead. A later dispatch says that the lynching still goes on. Two more victims— John Sims, brother of l ob, and Mosey, his nephew—were botli hanged tho following night, and the avengers are in hot pursuit of a negro lhat was with tho Sims gang the night of tho massacre. They have burned Bob Sims’ dwe ling and all tho houses on his place, and kided every living thing to be found on the place except the family, and they had to e cape to a neighbor s hou e. The Sims family say they are going to leave the country. The crowd continues to enlarge, and is fu ly 5(10 strong, and is hunting for Neal Kims. It is reported that Neal Sims has gotten together about f( rty men, and Intends to burn Womask Hill. The bodies of Bob Sims and the three Savages have been cut down and thrown over in tho graveyard. John Savage, the first hanged, was left hanging.

INJUNS HAVE THE GRIP.

Tuscaroras Prostrated The Reservation Overrun with Garter Snakes. Garter snakes and the grip have descended on the Tuscarora reservation near Lockport, N. Y., and the Indians, their squaws and papooses are in a bad way. They have suffered severely during the last two weeks, and a number of the victims have died Nearly twothirds of all the Indians on the reservation are prostrat a with the grip, wh ch takes the form of a fever, accompanied with fearful jains in the head, arms and legs. There seems to be little relef, and those who survive aro left weak and powerless. With the stanch characteristics of the race, the Tu.-caroras have refused to ask their white neighbors for aid, and their affliction was discovered onlv by the remarkable demand for patent medicines for use on the reservation. The medicine men of the tribe have also been making alleged remedies from roots and herbs gathered by the few members who were able to be about, and barrels of the stuff have been swallowed by the sufferers.

The Deal Senator.

He was, perhaps, the hardest worker in the Senate, and his ear was never closed to tlie tale of human woo. —New York Press. He was a strong man, fu’l of resources, and an exceedingly adroit politician. His death will be a loss to the country and more particularly to Kansas.—Detroit Free Press. The Kansas Senator was brainy and genial, sturdy and lovable, and his sudden end will be lamented by political adversaries no less than political friends. —Louisville Courier-Journal. Senator Plumb’s death seems to be a clean case of overwork, lie applied himself almost unceasingly to the cares of h s office and did not heed the warning of his physician.—Pittsburg Gazette. During fifteen years' service in the United States Senate he won recognition as one of tho most assiduous and influential, while one of the least pretentious, of the Senators.—New York Recorder. He was at times out of line with his party on some questions, but In tho main was true to its principles. He was admirably equipped for public life, and his death will bo a loss to the Senate.— Rochester Democrat. The warning of Senator Plumb's death is a very strong one against tho American error of overwork, and is especially forcible against the political vice of turning the national legislators into patronage clerks and private claim attorneys without fee —Pittsburg Dispatch.

INFURIATED AMAZONS.

MINERS ATTACKED BY HOOSIER WOMEN. They Ferociously Felt a Train of “Blacklegs” with Clabs and Stones—Quiet Restored by a Squad of Folice Officers— Many Miners Are in Want. Trouble In the Coal Fields. A mob of women, half crazed from hunger and want, made a furious attack on the “blackleg” train when it stopped at syndicate mine No. 8 the other morning, says a Brazil (lnd.) correspondent. With curses and screams of rage they pelted the train with stones, and when it came to a standstill they made a rush for the cars in which the “blacklegs” were, declaring that not one of them sh uld escape alive. Fortunately for the men, they were well armed and soon drove their savage assailants back. Several of the miners were severely bruised with blows from the clubs the women carried, though none were seriously injured. There were several hand-to-hand conflicts, but the women were weak from want of food and were easily overpowered. The fight was over in less than ten minutes, but for nearly an hour the women loitered around the mine, screaming like a band of Indians at a ghost dance and swearing vengeance against the “blacklegs.” Having venfod their spleen, they joined their husbands, who had been highly interested spectators on the top of a high blutf overlooking the mine, and then returned to (aseyvilie. It was a complete surprise to the operators. They had recel. ed no intimation of the trouble, and for the first time since the mine resumed operation General Manager McClelland did not go out with the tiatn. The women were concealed behind a long row of coal cars, and did not show themselves until the train was within a few coda of the stopping p'are, when they made a rush from their ambush, showering stones on tho train as they came. Bobert Wallace, the mine superintendent, and August Narkais, the pit boss, attempted to intercept them, but they might as well have attempted to stop a torrent Mrs. Thomas Short carried a pick-handle, and with Ihe fury of a hear robbed of her whelps she made at Narkais. He dodged the blow and quick as a flash seized her about the waist and attempt d to wrest the club from hergra-p. Ho was not equal to the task. With tho strength given by rage and desperat'on she threw him off and a second time rushed upon him, screaming w th a I her might that she would kill him. Again he dodged tho blow, and this time he teized her by tho throat and threw hor I ack several paces In hor effort to k-eep from falling she lot go tho club and the pit doss got K. Mrs. Sandy Jenkins, Mr\ Falkner and Mrs. McDona d, who, in their efforts to reach the “blacklegs,” had not before noticed the fight between Mrs. Short and tiie pit boss, now came to the recue a d he fled, witii the worn: n in hot pursuit Superintendent Wallace tried to stop them, when he became involved in a hand-to-hand coutict with Mrs. Jenkins. The other women set npon hi n with such fury that he had to give it up. By this time the “blacklegs” had left the train, and by pointing their weapons at the women kept them at a safe distance. As soon as tho women left the mine the train was sent back to Brazil, and in the afternoon it returned with a s uad of polic e officers and General Manager McC elland. Word was then sent to Caseyville that if the women came to the mine in the evening they would be arrested and taken to jail. It had the desired effect, and none of them appeared when the train pulled out. Tho women, and men of Ca-eyville persist that they are not in want, but they condemn the State and national officers in bitter tcims for not sending tho aid that was promised when the strike was declared. When talking at home they are frank in expressing themselves as wishing to go back to work without being ostracized as “blacklegs” when the trouble is over. Syndicate Mine No. 8 is the only place in the Brazil coal-fields where the “blacklegs” have, been mo'ested. At other miiies three times as many “b'acklegs” are at work, and none of them have been molested. In the communities away from Perth and Caseyville the strikers agree that a man is justified in “blacklegging" to prevent his family from starving. The State officers of tho United Mine Workers of America deny that the men are returning to work at the different parts of the districts, in spite of this assertion the number of “blacklegs” is daily increasing. Not around Perth and Caseyville, to be sure, but in the mines around Brazil and south it is sa
