A Hearing as to Father
Gorclgnn’s Judge.

A THIRD PRIEST IS TO BE
CALLED IN. .

Rev. Dr. Bustsell Makes, Vigorous
Protest. ,

NEW YORK, Dec'. 16.—Mgr. Doan and
Rev. Dr. Patrick McSweeney of St. Brig-
id’s church, this city, the two referees ap-
pointed to hear evidence as to the fitness
of Vicar-General O’Connor to preside as
judge in the trial of Father Corrigan, met
in the . Episcopal residence in Newark
yesterday to listen to witnesses. All

testified to the unfitness of Vicar-General

O’Connor. . -

Rev. Dr. Burtsell, for the defense, sub-
mitted that Father O’Connor, on account
of his connection with the household of
the Bishop and his familiarity with the
alleged fact that the Bishop was very
bitter against the accused priest, was not
competent to act as judge.

Dr. Burtsell insisted that Father O’Con-
nor retire from the bench. Dr. Burtsell
claimed he could show that Father Corri-
gan had acted within his canonical right.
He suggested that some priest who had
not signed Bishop VVigger’s circular nor
expressed an opinion on the case be ap-
pointed judge.

Father Corrigan also was examined as
to his sentence by Bishop Wigger on the
ground that he had disobeyed his sum-
mons.

The meeting was especially interesting
from the fact that it is the first time that
a matter in controversy between a Roman
Catholic Bishop and priest has been sub-
mitted by them to arbitrators.

The arbitrators adjourned for a few
minutes and then said they could not de-
cide. They will hold a meeting on Sat-
urday at 10.30, when another priest, pro-
bably from New York, will be called in
to assist as a member of their board in ar-
riving at a decision. They will make a
report to the court on Monday next.

 

Adjourned Without Decision.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 16.—The provincial
council of the suffragan bishOps Of the
diocese, called to select three names to
present to the Pope as those of priests
worthy of appointment to the Office of
-coadjutor archbishop, adjourned without
having reached a decision.

FOLLOWED BY FATALITY.

Two Ladies Successivcly Killed in Mr.
Kennebrew’s Company. .
JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 16.— A serious
fatality seems to attend L. Kennebrew, of
near Pine Bluff, Copiah county, if news
which has reached his friends here is au-
thentic. A few weeks ago Mr. Kenne-

“brew started to Hazlehurst in a buggy

, terday, with a

 

accompanied by a lady member of his
family. The horses ran away, throwing
the lady out, killing her instantly. A
few days after Mr. Kennebrew again
started to town accompanied by two
ladies. The horses shied and ran at the
same place on the road, threw the oc'cu-
pants all out and killed one of the ladies
within ten feet of where the other was
killed two weeks previous.
brew is said to have since lost his mind
grieving over the distressing incidents.

Safe-Blowers Taken In.

ST. LOUIs, Mo., Dec. 16.—Two of the
ugliest looking bums that have fallen into

were taken ‘in yesterday by Sergeant Boyd

bIOWers. They gave the names of James

loose powder and a dozen fine steel drills
were taken from them.

Dr. Graves Uneasy.

- DENVER, Cal., Dec. 16.—Warden Smith,
of the State penitentiary, who is in the
city, states that Dr. Graves has shown

MONTANA’S STATUE.

Ada Rehan Was‘the Only Woman Asked
to Posefor It.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—The State of Mon-
tana’s Board of World’s Fair Managers
issued a statement relative to its famous
statue to-night. It says in part: “The
statue is modelled by R. H. Park, who we
believe to be one of the ablest sculptors
of the day. For his services Mr. Park
receives the sum Of $10,000. The height
of the figure is eight feet and the value of
the silver required to cast it is estimated
at $65,000 and will be furnished by the

‘First National Bank of Helena, Montana,

through ex-Gov. S. T. Hanser and W. A.
Clark, of Butte, Mont. The figure will
rest upon a plinth of gold valued at $250,-
000, to be furnished by the owners Of the
Spotted Horse mine Of Maiden, Mont.
“The controversy among ladies Of the
theatrical profession as to the selection of
the model undoubtedly grows out of the
fact that Messrs. Harvey and Higbee were
retained by a sister silver-producing State
to erect for them a statue of different,de-

\sign, which was afterward abandoned for
lack of funds with which to carry it.

through. You can state without the fear
of successful contradiction that Miss Ada
Rehan was the only lady ever asked to
pose for Montana’s statue, and her selec-
tion was made purely for artistic reasons,
and it is absurd to suppose that our State
ever requested her, or any representative
Of her, to pay for the compliment con-
ferred. We consider ourselves fortunate
in securing an artist of such marked
ability, possessing so many womanly
charms to pose for what we believe to be
the leading work of art of the present
century.” -

DR. GRONIN’S MURDER.

A Letter from Burke “’ith Probable Re-
ference to the Case. ,

CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 15.—-—An evening pa-
per prints what it claims is an unpublish-
ed letter written by Martin Burke, who
died a day or two ago in Joliet prison.
The letter was dated June 10, 1891, was
signed by James O’Connor, a name as-
sumed for the occasion and was addressed
to Port Arthur, where Burke went at that
time, en route to- Winnipeg, where he
was captured. The letter was received
by Cronin’s friends from the Dead Letter
Office. It follows:

“Dear Mack: I am desirous that you send on
to this town $150, and on receipt of same I
will send you certificate and other things
intact. I don’t think it advisable to go into

-this matter any further, as it may come to

the government’s ears and somebody is sure
to get left. Anyway, I am willing to risk all
and anything in connection with this matter,
and U. S’s. death will not deter me from
doing what the C. N. G. details me, only the
allowing of me to do so in my own time and
place. This Imust insist on as being only
fair.”

. It is believed that the C. S. referred to
is James Murphy, a particular friend of
Cronin’s, whose body was found in the
Chicago River a few days before the mur-
der. An overcoat known to have been
the property of the dead man was after-
wards worn by Burke, but no action was
ever brought against him. It is said that
the Cronin committee have a mass of sen-
sational evidence on hand and that arrests
of men suspected of connection with the

great crime will follow before long.

He May be a Victim.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 16.—The case
of Thomas G. Vennum, the freshman
who was arrested on a charge of theft
from Dr. Anderson of the Yale faculty,
came up for trial yesterday and was con-
tinued until Saturday. About $400 worth
of jewelry belonging to Dr. Anderson
was found in Vennum’s bureau drawer.
At the time of his arrest he denied the

' crime and displayed a check for $100 just

received from his father. It is thought
more than possible that the young stu-
dent is a victim of a conspiracy in which
Dr'. Anderson’s son is a principal.

Confesses to Poisoning.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Charles Ryder,
who is accused Of attempting to poison
the family of Farmer Benjamin E. Fan-
ning, of Middleroad, about a week ago,
admitted his guilt when arraigned before
Justice Stackpole in Riverhead yesterday,
and was held for the Grand Jury. Ryder
made the family sick by putting Paris
green in the breakfast cocoa. The only
reason he could give . for his act was that
Mr. Fanning made fun of him. It is
thought Ryder is mentally unbalanced.

Eastern Capitalists Missing.

DENVER, COL, Dec. 16. —- The Rocky
Mountain News publishes a most sensa-
tional story in regard to the mysterious
disappearance, or the non-appearance of
a number of eastern capitalists and a local
mining man who a few months ago left
Denver to inspect a mine in the Colorado
canon with a view to purchase. The paper
claims that they have been away for
nearly two months, and it is feared that
they have met with some-evil fate. The
names of the party are unknown.

A World’s Fair Investigation.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—Another investigat-

ing the World’s Fair catalogue. The

tee decided at the request of Gen. J. W.
St. Clair, of West Virginia, to make a full
investigation of his relations with the
affair. '

But Few Lucid Intervals.

CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 16.—Gen. I. N. Stiles, '

well known as a brilliant orator and law-
yer throughout the country, is fast fail-
ing, metally and physically. It is! said
that he has now but few lucid intervals.
Gen. Stiles has practiced law in Chicago
since the. close of the war and is 59 years
Old. He has figured in some famous cases.

 

Awoke After a Long Sleep.
NEw HAVEN, Dec. 16.—The 01d Colony
Distilleries Company, a concern which

'for a year past has been dormant owing to

PLOTTERS.

 

Abusive Language and a Challenge
to Fight.

PARIS, Dec. 16.—At a Cabinet meeting
held at the Elysee yesterday M. Bour-
geois, Minister of Justice, announced
that he would oppose in the Chamber 'Of
Deputies the proposal of M. Pourquery de
Boisserin to invest the Panama Investiga-

tion Committee with judicial powers.

The conflict between the Panama In-
vestigation Committee and the J udica-
ture-still continues with a vengeance.

When the question came up in the
Chamber of Deputies M. Hubbard called
for the immediate discussion of the Bois-
serin proposals, and M. Ribot, Premier,
supported the motion. In accordance
with the Government’s desire, it was car-
ried by 424 against 122.

Immediately after the vote it was re-
ported that, in consequence of this re-
verse, M. Brisson would retire from the
Presidency of the Committee.

The way. to the consideration of the
Boisserin bill was clear, and M. Bourgeois
proceeded to state forcibly the Objections
of the Ministry to it. M. Ribot spoke of
certain members whose zeal for the in-
tegrity of deputies and ministers evident-
1y screened a deep-laid plot.

M. Le Provost do Launay, accused M.
Freycinet, Minister of War, of being re-

sponsible, to a great extent, for the

Panama scandals, and asked why M. Herz
had been decorated with the Cross of the.
Legion of Honor at the request of several
questionable politicians.

M. De Freyncinet, in answering the
charge as regards the decoration Of 'M.
Herz, declared that the honor had been
granted at the recommendation of many
scientific men. ' » _

The vote at the end of the discussion
was 271 to 263 against the Boisserin pro-
posals. It is regarded as tantamount to
an expression Of confidence in the Gov-
ernment.

The confusion throughout the sitting
was unprecedented in recent years, and
often the speakers were obliged to wait
for the uproar to subside.

Immediately after the vote, Arene chal-
lenged Gabriel, but the latter refused to
fight.
journment members of the Chamber ling-
ered. accusing and reviling one another.

THE MONETARY. CONFERENCE.

Report of the Committee That Has Been
Considering Various Projects.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 16.—The committee ap-
pointed by the International .Monetary
Conference to consider the various pro-
jects submitted to the Conference have
adopted a report in which they say ‘that
in considering the various proposals sub-
mitted to them they confined themselves
to the study of general principles and did
not discuss the details necessary to give
the several proposals effect. After re-
viewing the reasons for and against the
different plans the report concludes:

“Having regard for the fact that the
Conference has not yet pronounced on
the general question the committee do
not feel justified in taking a vote upon
the projects referred to them or in at-
tempting to formulate a compromise be-
tween the varying monetary doctrines
advanced.”

Pirates Dcmand Ransom Money.

MADRID, Dec. 16.—The Moorish pirates,
who recently captured the' Spanish
schooner Icod and carried her crew " into
the mountains, near Cape Juby, refuse to
surrender the prisoners until ransom
money to the amount of $15,000 shall have

. been paid. They threaten that if any at-

tempt be made to release the prisoners by
force they will kill them. It is highly
probable that the Government will grant
the money required to secure the release
of the captives.

The Cholera. in Hamburg.
LONDON, Dec. 16.—The Standard’s cor-

Mrs. Bradford’s Transition to
Mine-Made Millions.

HER “BLACK SHEEP” UNCLE’S
LOVE LEGACY.

She Says She Can Spend the
Money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Aladdin’s lamp is
regarded with disdain by Mrs. Florence,
of No. ‘648 Bertow street, Astoria, L. 1.,
since she yesterday received a letter from
Attorney George E. Sill, of Hartford,
Conn., informing her that she had in-
herited an estate that will, it is said,
amount to $2,500,000, or even much more.
The heiress is very young woman, who
has been married about 15 months, and
she had only heard of the existence of the
man who has left her this money when
her family had discussed the “black
sheep” of the flock in their New England
home. '

He left their home in Springfield,
Mass., 15 years ago, when “Flossie” was a
little girl of seven years,‘but she remem-
bered her big, good natured uncle Wl‘...~
used to tell her about the fortune he was
going to make and leave to her. His
name was James G. Cummings and he
ultimately took up his residence in Den-
Ver.

There he made money by dealing in
real estate and in placing loans at high
rates of interest for eastern capitalists.

When the great gold and silver strikes
were made at- Creede, COL. last spring, he
went there and invested his money.
Every claim he bought or took an inter-
est in “hit it rich” and in a few months
his mining property there, despite the
low price of silver, was quoted at the very
highest notch in the Western mining
stock exchanges. The most widely known
were the “Florence” and the “Sinclair”
mines.

Sinclair is the maiden name of Mrs.
Bradford, and the fact that the family
name and luer Christian name were used
in naming these great fountains of bullion
makes her certain that she is the heiress.

It was 7...!y yesterday that ex-Assistant
Distrie‘; .‘.. Lorney Sill received the papers
in the u, from Denver. They said that
Cummings had been offered $2,500,000 for
his in ‘e'rests by an English syndicate, and
are e'; ressed his belief at the time that

‘The Real Name 'of China.

Upward of eleven hundred years be-
fore Christ, the'Chinese' were a people
ruled 'by'a dynasty of kings, of whom,‘ .
like the Pharaohs of old, there is no clear .
history, and not until the Chow dynasty,
B. C. 1125, is there any. clear history of
the main Chinese States.

The Chinese take their history backtc
the time of Noah. This ancient empire
has in its time home many names, for it
was a custom when a new dynasty as.
cended the throne to give another name _
to the empire, as Hai-que, Cam-qua,
Han-qua, etc.,' according to the name of
the'ruling monarch. ' y . .

The true name is said $9.1“? Chum-qua,
“ the Centre kingdom foil. the worl .”'
This term~ was by . usage corrupted to-
Chin-que. and from this word the Portu-
onese cave it'the name of China. ,
