BISHOP VARSUS PRIEST.
The Removal of Father Welch From
Chattanooga Raises a Row.
Chattanooga Tenn. May B.—
This Catholic parish has a sensa-
tion brewing which may prove as
celebrated in church history as the
McGlynn case. It concerns the re-
moval of Father William Welch of
the Chattanooga parish. Mgr. Sa-
tolli has been appealed t o and the
case in his hands. It may yet go
to Pope Leo at Rome. Last Tues-
day a week ago an order was pro-
cured from Bishop Bryne the
bishop of Tennessee transferring
Father Welch from Atlanta to
Jackson Tenn to preside over
that parish. Father Graham of
Jackson was sent here. He is a
young man and has only been an
ordained priest three years.
Last night the male members of
the congregation held a meeting at
which strong resolutions were
adopted protesting against the re-
moval of Father Welch. The res-
olutions have been forwarded to
the Bishop. A stronger protest
than this was telegraphed to Mgr.
Satolli this morning signed by the
presidents of the banks Judge Mc-
Connell and the county officials
including Sheriff Hyde Mayor
Ochs and many prominent citizens.
Father Welch and some of the
most influential priests in the
south are in Washington to pro-
test against Bishop Bryne’s action.
Father Welch has been a priest in
this district for twenty-one years
the greater part of which time he
has been in Chattanooga. He was
previously in Memphis. There is
a faction here which opposes him
and they are supposed to have in-
duced Bishop Bryne to order his
removal.
China Wants Some Money.
London May 8. —A dispatch
from Shanghai says that the Chin-
ese emperor has written to the Czar

The Ecuador Revolution.
New York May B.—Private ad-
vices received in New York from
Ecuador state that General Alfero
the leader in the revolution of 1895
and also a leader in the present
trouble in Ecuador has returned
there from Nicaragua where he
had been an exile. The revolu-
tionists had taken possession of
Iberra Esmeralda Guaranda and
Laticuma. Ina battle which pre-
ceded the capture of Guaranda
sixty men were killed on both
sides. The telegraph wires between
Quito and the capital of Ecuador
have been cut by the revolutionists
aad all communications stopped.
The revolutionists are diseatisned
with Vice-President Salazar who
is going to take the presidency va-
cated by the resignation of Cordero.
Zelaya is very unpopular and the
resignation of Cordero will have no
effect on the revolutionists.

PAIT WILL NOT BE TRIED.
I* Now Insane and For Two Years
Has Not Been Responsible
For His Acts.
New York May B.—John B. Pait
who is under an indictment charg-
ing him with having stolen $15000
from the Chemical National bank
where he was paying teller will
probably never be tried. His coun-
sel Ex-United States Assistant
District Attorney Rose announced
last night that Pait is hopelessly
insane. The indicted man who
lives at Mount Kisco is now at lib-
erty under $lOOOO bail.
The case of Pait will be called
for pleading before Judge Benedict
in the United States Circuit court
this week on an amended indict-
ment filed against him bj’ the
federal grand jury for the March
term.
It is not expected that Tait will
appear in court. His counsel will
plead that their client is insane
and not in a condition to stand a
trial on the charge against him.
Pait was examined two weeks
ago by bls family physician and
two experts on Insanity from New
York at his home in Mount Kisco.
The physicians concurred in pro-
nouncing the man insane and de-
clared that his mental trouble had
been growing on hi no for the past
three years and that for two years
he had not been responsible for his
actions.
An Adulterous Parson.
Pittsburg May 8. —Rev. G. H.
Shelldrake of Cincinnati is to be
tried before the Pittsburg Presby-
tery in June on a charge of adult-
ery. The charge was made before
the Presbytery by Rev. G. W.
Chalfant. The judicial committee
at once prepared the charges and
cited the minister to appear here
in June. The first specification
says that Rev. Dr. Shelldrake lived
for three months in 1894 in Alle-
gheny with a woman who was not
his wife. The second count states
he still continues his impropriety
with the same woman in Cincin-
nati. The witnesses on the second
count are Rev. Peter Robinson of
Cincinnati and Rev. Williams of
Chicago. Rev. Shelldarke camo
here from Chicago over a year ago
as an evangalist. He preached in
all of the leading churches and
was very well received. He sup-
plied the pulpit at the Second
Presbyterian church before the ar-
rival of the present pastor.

Chattanooga Maj’ 8. —The
gand jury has returned a true bill
against County Trustee R. F. Craig

to stand trial on the charge of mur-
der.

Libel Suit Collapsed.
Lafayette Ind. May 8. —Sev-
eral months ago Tyndale Palmer
and a Mr. De Freitas sued W. Bent
Wilson publisher of the Morning
Journal for $50000 damages each
for the publication of an alleged
libelous dispatch detailing certain
transactions of Palmer and De
Freitas in Rto Janeiro. The dis-
patch bore date of Philadelphia
Oct. let 1892. The cases were tried
before Judge Taylor in the Circuit

The Queen’s Drawing Room.
London May B.—The Queen will
hold the first of the May drawing
rooms today and the event prom-
ises to be of exceptional interest
and great brilliancy. The list of
applications for presentation was
filled up a few hours after it was
opened and that for the second
function is also full. This will
doubtless necessitate another draw-
ing room before Whitsuntide.
Many Americans are on the list.
San Antonio Texas. Wednesday. May 81895.
ALL QUIET AT THE MINES
But the Introduction of New Men
May Lead to a Conflict.
Pocahontas May B.—The best of
order still prevails here. The
miners are not thoroughly organ-
ized and will hold mass meetings
today at Simmons and Mayberry
in West Virginia. The fields are
unit for the strike but the coal
companies here say they intend to
run the mine if new men have to
be brought in. The Southwest
Virginia Improvement company
and the Eckman mines have tele-
graphed for six hundred miners to
come to this place and tents are
now being put up by the
company to house them. Mr. Bul-
litt says he intends to win or break
the Pocahontas company. Noone
knows what may be the outcome
in the event of foreign miners com-
ing in. The struggle is now on in
earnest and it promises to be a long
and a hard one. The Southwest
Virginia Coal company has issued
circulars that it will pay all the
men tomorrow but no men who
occupy the company’s houses will
be paid until the rents are paid.
As most of the houses here are the
company’s nearly all the miners
will be dispossessed. What this
feature will lead to will be hard to
foretell.

ing the island. This result has been
brought about through the repre-
sentations made by the World to
Governor Garrioh.

ington to California under an in-
dictment recently found against
him for alleged violation of the in-
terstate commerce law and said:

snch cases. Still it would seem that

fornia. Even then the court there
maj’ have the same opinion of

region Is |the best defined. These

est part of all and is fa-

THAT KENTUCKY SCANDAL.
A Deeper Plot Discovered in the
Murder of Gov. Brown’* Son.
Louisville Ky. Maj’ B.—The
Courier-Journal today prints the
following: The sensation attend-
ing the Gordon double killing is
not over yet by half. The prosecu-
tion todaj’ will attempt to prove
that Archie Dixon Brown’s death
was due to a deep laid plot to as-
sassinate him a trap as the pro-
secution believes fostered and
planned by one whom for reasons
best known to himself was
afraid to do the work and used
Gordon as a tool to carry out his
designs. These statements come
directlj’ from the prosecution.
Governor Brown lias reason to
believe his son’s coming to Louis-
ville on the daj’ of the tragedj’ and
his assignation with Mrs. Gordon
was known to a man in Louis-
ville. This Lousviile man the
prosecution claims notified Gordon
that his wife was to meet Brown
and “actively assisted in a foul as-
sassination.”
The prosecution further says the
name of the man who “acted the
spy” is known to them and he will
have to be produced in court. Ina
private letter last night Governor
Brown insisted that the man re-
ferred to be brought into court on
attachment. The man who as the
prosecution believes piloted Gor-
don to the house of Lucy Smith is
a college chum of Gordon and was
married in Frankfort.
