Butte City Has a PlugiariHt Pastor— I British Parliament Opened—Santa i Fe Passengers Fleeced by Robbers j Big Cincinnati Warehouse Burns. Shipped from America. A San Francisco dispatch says that the rifles carried by the Hawaiian rebels were from America, and the bullet which killed Commissioner Carter was shipped from San Francisco. According to the statement of the Englishman, Capt. Davis, who landed the arms in Hawaii, they were loaded in a sailing vessel in San Francisco and subsequently transferred to his craft. This statement, made under oath, was received by a resident by —Abe.hist steamer, but kept a secret until recently. The arms were landed on the island by ('apt. William Davis, master of the ship Waimanallo, which, curiously enough, was mortgaged by It. W. Castle, the Hawaiian Commissioner. Parliament Is Open. With the usual pomp and ceremony, the fourth session of the thirteenth Victorian Parliament was opened in Lon- ' <ion Tuesday afternoon. The customary ? Guy Fawkes search was made by Lord j Chamberlain Carrington and a dozen of : the yeomen of the guard, find then the | house assembled and listened to the read- < Ing of the queen’s speech. The pronounce- i meat from the throne was a distinct dis- I appointment. It has been given out free- I ly from ministerial sources that if the ' Rosebery administration was to fall it j would fall fighting; that the speech, therefore, would contain reference to all the reforms which the liberal party approves, regardless of their probable passage at the present session. True, several important questions are brought to the front —the Welsh church establishment, । plural voting, popular control of the liquor traffic, county government for Scotland, and Irish land measures. But in regard to the burning question of the times—the reformation or abolition of the lords—Premier Rosebery says not a \ word. Steals Dr. Bristol's Lectures. A prof< ind sensation was caused at I Butte, Mont., by a local paper's exposi- | tion of the fact that the Rev. William Rollins, of the Mountain View Methodist Church, the most fashionable church in the city, who has been giving a series of very learned Sunday evening sermons, has been appropriating without credit a series of lectures delivered by the Rev. Dr. Frank M. Bristol in Chicago and by him published in book form. The lectures of Mr. Rollins and those from Dr. Bristol's book were published side by side and the identical words appeared in botlu Dr. Bristol's lectures were published hu- f der the title, “Providential Epochs,” and are entitled “The Renaissance,” "The Reformation.” “The Discovery of America” and “The Settlement of Our Country.” The Rev. Mr. Rollins called his ; lectures “The Revival of Learning.” “The Reformation,” “ The Discovery of Amer- ! ica” and “America’s Pioneers.” Stock of Tobacco Burns. The Bodman leaf tobacco warehouse, a । large structure on West Front street, Cincinnati, caught tire in a mysterious , way, and is now a hollow ruin, nothing | but the walls standing. There was no | fire in the building at the place where the ’ fire originated, and no one is able to ne- . count for the fire. The place‘was full of valuable leaf tobacco in hogsheads, ail es which was destroyed. i'he loss on ,-t -k is estimated at $240,000, and on tie . building ^’iO.OUO. Santa Fe Train Robbed. The western express on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road, train 1. bound for Cok>rado and California, was held up one mile west of Sylvia. Reno County, Kan., Monday night, by four masked men. who signaled danger. Two of tin.' robbers covered the engineer and fireman, and two went to the express car. For some reason they tailed to effect an entrance, and then went to the coni lies and made the passengers give j up ali their valuables. BREVITIES, The Rt.-Rev. Thomas M. (Mark. D.

EASTERN. Safe robbers rifled the safes in Place, Peterson & Co.’s jewelry factory at Providence, R. 1., and secured SIO,OOO worth of gold rings, diamonds, etc. Warren F. Putnam, ex-President of the Exeter National Bank of Concord, N. IL, who was found guilty of embezzleI merit, was sentenced to five years in | State’s prison. His defalcation wrecked ! the bank. Amos Mingle and David Ross, of Blair I County, Pa., with six children, drove to Bellefonte. On their return home the team became lodged in a snowbank and could not be extricated. The two men went to a farm-house for assistance, and - when they returned they found the six i children frozen stiff. They were taken to the nearest house and put in ice water. The children are living, but are in a precarious condition. Ward McAllister, New York's foremost i society director and organizer of the 400. died at 9:30 o'clock Thursday night at his home, 1G West 36th street. At his bedside were Mrs. McAllister and their son and daughter and Mr. McAllister's brother, Rev. Dr. Marion McAllister, of Elizabeth, N. J. Mr. McAllister suffered very little pain during his illness and his death was peaceful. Grip was the immediate cause of his death. Three lives were lost in Philadelphia Thursday morning by a fire that was caused by the upsetting of a coal oil lamp by a cat. The Singlinger family were asleep in their home, 2G29 Kansas street. Shortly after 1 o’clock the household cat jumped upon a table and knocked over a burning lamp. The blazing oil ran all over the room and the interior of the dwelling was-soon ablaze. When the parents and four of the children had escaped to the street in their night clothes the mother suddenly discovered that her twins had been left in the burning house. She rushed into the flames and succeeded in reaching an upper room where the babes were. This was the last seen of the woman, and when firemen fought their way to the upper floor they found the mother and babes suffocated. Every trolley line in the city of Brooklyn was in operation Wednesday morning except one. The strike is over. New motormen and conductors have replaced the men who went out in a body on Jan. 1-1. The linemen who went out on a sym- ; pathetic strike a week later have broken ranks on several lines and those whose : places had not been filled were taken i back. The G.tioo men who went out in a body are still holding out. They were prepared for a long siege, and they say they have plenty of money coming in ; daily in contributions, aside from what they had laid away from their wages. The lines now have enough men to operate all ears which are in condition to be run. About one-third of the trolley cars of Brooklyn have broken windows, dis- ; aided motors, or are otherwise inenpnei- I tated by the scrimmages they have been through during the past sixteen days. The strikers are now directing all their attention to court proceedings. The law's delays are proverbial, and whatever trou- I ble the companies are given through attempts to compel operatic ns by writs of mandamus, or to obtain forfeiture of charters through applications to the nt torncy general, will have little bearing <m the present strike.

Detective Burns of Seymour, took out the warrant. Mr Henshaw gave himself up without waiting for the officers. The charge was m <de that he inflicted the wounds on himself Mr Henshaw had it hearing at Danville and was exonerated. No one would believe the charge in the warrant and it was killed. There is now talk of a popular uprising against the private detectives who have been working on the case und who brought the charge against Mr. Henshaw.

Tacoma (Wash.) dispatch: Dr. Willis L'. Everette, a prominent metallurgist, who was employed by Eastern millionr : res to investigate the Monte Cristo gold uunrtz mines, says the recent closing of the Everett smelter deinonstmtes that his ' r< port was correct and that the mines are ■ not feasible as a smelting proposition. I As n result he places the loss sustniifd ' by John D. Rockefeller nt $1,500,000. Three million dollars was invested in opening a railroad to the mines, which are back of the city of Everett in the Cascade Mountains. Another $1,000,000 wns expended in the smelter and conceit- ; truting plant, all of which was done upon - the favorable report of an expert metallurgist sent out from the East. Everette reported adversely. Everette had a conference with Rockefeller in New York a few weeks ago and reports him angry at those who led him into investing money. SOUTHERN.

FOREIGN. 4he Pall Mall Gazette says that the naval program, which has been approved by the English cabinet, involves the construction within the ensuing financial jear of four first-class, four second-class, and two third-class cruisers, twenty torpedo boats, and twenty torpedo destroyers. The cost of these vessels is to aggregate £6,500,000. The ambassadors sent to Tokio, Japan, by China to negotiate terms of peace, as ■ was supposed, were given no power’ by ; their own government to decide any ques- 1 tions whatever.

(• hina s ambassadors, with their imposing retinues, started on their return home, i having accomplished nothing, not even having been officially recognized as com- । missioned agents of the government they claim to represent. They were practically told to go home. Lowestoft advices say that visits made to till the various life-saving and coastguards stations show that no additional news has been received in regard to the Jns.i uMlrn Aho tli' GRrmso 1 Joyd steamship Elbe and no trace has been found of the missing lifeboat supposed to contain people from that steamer. However, the sea is so rough that many of the fishing smacks are nimble to make port and are beating up and down the coast, waiting for a chance to run into some barj bor. In reply to a message of sympathy ; from Queen Victoria, the agent here of j the North German Lloyd Steamship ■ Company telegraphed to her Majesty i saying that no hopes whatever are enter- i i tnined of any more of the passengers or ' crew of the steamship Elbe having been saved. Captain Gordon, of the British steamship Crathie, which is generally admitted to hnve been the vessel which ran into and sank the Elbe, has made a I statement to Lloyd’s agent m which ho says that he was knocked down by the force of the collision, and that when he regained his feet the two ships were some distance apart, mid the Crathie wns so damaged that he vxpecP'd her to sink at nny moment. In spite of this. Captain , ; Gordon added, he followed the other j steamer, but found that sho went faster ; than the Crathie. and so he thought the vessel sho had collided with was safe.

'BLOW UP A BUILDING.' MILAN, OHIO, BANK ROBBERS USE DYNAMITE. Burclnrs Get Away With $30,000Two Captured—Thirty Miners Killed ; by an Explosion of Fire-Damp—Ac- I cident to a Milwaukee Street Car. Explosion Shakes the Town. About 4 o'clock Monday morning a I terrific explosion awakened the people of , Milan, Ohio. A hurried examination । showed that the I.ockwood bank build- ; iug hud been broken into, the safe blown j find its contents, about $30,000, taken by । file masked men, who, in blowing open I ; the safe, had demolished the building and started mi alarm all over the village. ; Among the many who started to invest!- : gate the explosion was L. L. Stoddard, J , cashier of the bank, mid lie was just in , I time to see the five men leave the bank j building, jump into a carriage mid drive ' t away. He fired several shots at them, । but without effect, and the men soon dis- ■ appeared in the direction of Sandusky. A | posse of men was hurriedly organized and ■ soon followed in pursuit. At the same i time notices were sent by wire in all di- , rections mid the news spread around | them so securely thut escape was well I night impossible. At Sandusky two men I wore caught. The exact amount of money •: secured cannot yet be ascertained, but it I is believed to be about $30,000. The bank i is a wealthy concern, which fact was doubtless known by the men. The only I error in their well-laid plans was the j heavy explosion which started the alarm. ' It is quite probable that they had not prepared it with sufficient caution and by that error their plans were upset and themselves placed in danger of capture. Drowned in a Street Car. A trolley ear of the Russell avenue and Holton street line. Milwaukee, plunged through the open draw of the Kinnickinnick avenue bridge at S:3O Monday morning. carrying three people down to death in the ii V waters of the river. Six others were rescued from the partly submerged car. The d<:id were: Mrs. Antoinette G. Ehlman, a kindergarten teacher; John Kennedy, motorman; Miss Sehmidtkuntz, employed at National i Knitting Works. It was the worst street car accident that ever happened in Milj wmikee, and the news of the shocking disaster sent u thrill of horror throughout the city. From all accounts the uc cident seems to have clearly been due to the carelessness of the motorman. John Kennedy, but he stuck to his post in a vain endeavor to stop the car, which he had permitted to approach too near the open draw, and paid the penalty of his carelessness with his life. Tlie cm- struck endwise in the river mid was submerged for about two thirds of its length, the fact that it did not go to the bottom of i tlie river, which is eighteen feet deep at ! that point, being due to tin* presence of j thick ice. This circumstance alone, it is believed, made it possible to rescue any of the passengers. Gi rinauy Hello Aid to China.
