Dr. Dunning, of the Second Presbyte- rian church, had finished his sermon yesterday morning he descended from the pulpit and began a harangue against the presbytery, which had questioned his orthodoxy.

The women and children rushed for the doors, and, al- though two women fainted, some of the men averted a serious panic. The preacher was carried unconscious to the hospital, where not only his mind, but his life, is feared for. DURRANT’S CASE. Revelations Which May Result in the Con- victed Man's Freedom.

COME TO NEW YORK RACKET FOR YOUR HOLIDAY GOODS WASHINGTON. The Kansas Politician Credited with a De- sire to Defeat Nenator Maker. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 14—A. spe- cial to the Journal (rep.) from Wash- ington says: The Kansas delegation headed by Cy Leland, national com- mitteeman from Kanaas, is in the city. The delegation includes Calvin Hood, J. M. Simpson, Morton Albaugh and Nat Barnes, besides Mr. Leland. Le- land is making a big fight to get Muj. Anderson, of Topeka, appointed in- stead of William Sterne, Sen- ator Baker’s candidate, for United States marshal of Kansas. It Leland can get a United States senator turned down by the president, it will mean that he is to control the state instead of Baker. In Washing- ton, Baker is considered sure of land- ing Sterne, and had it not been for the death in the president's family, he would probably have secured the ap- pointment some days ago.
