A statement made by Rev. Dr. Lansing, pastor of the Park Street Church, Boston, in an address before the New England M. E. conference, at Saiem, alleging that the President was intemperate, and substan- tially reiterated in interviews, was natu- rally annoying to the President. Last evening he issued the following statement to the public on the subject: “This is simply an outrage. Though it 1s not the first time a thing of this kind has been attempted, I cannot avoid a feel- ing of indignation that any man who makes any claim to decency, and especial ly one who assumes the role of a Chri: tian minister, should permit himself to be- come a disseminator of wholesale lies and calumnies, not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked. “I easily recall other occasions when those more or less entitled to be called ministers of the gospel have been instru- mental in putting into circulation the most scandalous falsehoods concerning my con- duct and character. The elements or fac- tors of the most approved outfit for plac- ing a false and barefaced accusation be- fore the public appears to be: First, some one with baseness and motive sufficient to invent it; second, a minister with more gul- libility and love of notoriety than piety, greedily willing to listen to it and gabble it, and, third, a newspaper anxiously willing to publish it. “For the sake of the Christian’ religion I am thankful that these scandal-monger- ing ministers are few, and on every ac- count I am glad that the American people love fair play and justice, and that in spite of all efforts to mislead them they are apt to form a correct estimate of the char- acter and labors of their public servants.” Declared to Be a Shocking Libel. The specific charge made by Dr. Lansing in his Salem address, as reported in the newspapers, was in the following words: “We all remember the naval parade on the Hudson river, when thousands of people were obliged to wait severa! hours for the President to sober off enough for him to review the parade.” In a subsequent inter- view Dr. Lansing sald that his informant was a New Yorker, who had a personal acquaintance with Mr. Cleveland, and that he had, furthermore, been informed by the same man that since Mr. Cleveland was elected for his second term he (the informant) had sat beside the President at a public dinner in New York until 3 o'clock in the morning, and that the President was drunk. The New York World today centains statements denouncing this story regarding the dinner as a shocking libel. The World says: Indignation of the in- tensest kind has been excited among dem- ocrats in New York and other cities over the attack made on President Cleveland at the New England Methodist conference by the Rey. Dr. L. J. Lansing of Boston. Many of the leading democrats and re- publicans who attended the three dinners at which Mr. Cleveland was present be- tween the time of his election in November, 1802, and his inauguration in March, 1593, yesterday denounced the story as a lie, and in set terms expressed their opinion of the American citizen who, without the shadow of proof, on a simple hearsay statement, would malign the character of the Presi- dent of the United States. ‘The three dinners referred to were those of the chamber of commerce, given at Del- monico’s on November 15, 1892; a dinner at the home of Henry Villard, two days later, and that given by the Reform Club on December 10, 1802. Chauncey M. Depew said last night: “There is only one reply that can be made to such a story—it is absolutely contempt- ible and absurd. At the chamber of com- merce dinner I sat near Mr. Cleveland. I saw him from the time that he came in until he went away. I can say that he was absolutely sober, and in full command of his faculties. He conducted himself in the way that the world at large would expect from the President of the United States.” Frederic R. Coudert, who was one of the leading men in the Reform Club dinner of wae had a good deal to say on the sub- ject. “The suggestion or the assertion that President Cleveland was drunk ts too con- temptible for notice,” he said. “I was present at the Reform Club dinner of that year. I sat next or almost next to the President, and I say that he from first to last conducted himself as a gentleman and in a manner befitting his high office. To say that he was the worse for drink is to utter _a falsehood.” E. Ellery Anderson said: “I was one of the guests at the dinner given by Mr. Vil- lard in honor of President Cleveland. In- cidentally, too, I presided at the Reform Club dinner to which you refer. On both these occasions, as on every other at which I have met President Cleveland during an acquaintarce of many years, he conducted himself in a way, if possible, to increase the admiration and respect of his fellow- men. We all felt proud of our President. He was, as always, a gentleman,” +--+ ______ AN ENGINEER'S OBLIGATIONS, A Question Arising From a Strike Brought Before the Supreme Court. The Ann Arbor strike of 1893 and the somewhat unusual incidents growing out of it have been recalled by the filing of a pe- tition in the United States Supreme Court by James Lennon for a writ of certiorart, requiring the circuit court of appeals for the sixth circuit to certify his case to the Supreme Court for review and determina- tion. Lennon was at the time of the strike an engineer on the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern railway, and quit work rather than attach a car of the Ann Arbor and North Michigan railroad to his train, In the face of the fact that the United States cir- cuit court for the northern distri@ of Ohio had previously issued an injunction against the Lake Shore read and its employes, re- straining them from réfusing to afford proper facilities for exchange of traiflic to the Ann Arbor road. Lennon was arrested for contempt of court, and upon trial before Judge Ricks was found guilty. It was this decision on the part of Judge Ricks which brought upon him the enmity of the labor element. From this decision Lennon attempted to appeal to the Supreme Court, but the ap- peal was dismis He then applied to the court of appeals, which sustained the judg- ment of Judge Ricks. The question in- yolved is, as Lennon states it in his peti- tion, whether a court of equity has power by injunction to compel a railroad engin- eer, whose employment is for no de! time, and is paid for his services onl, the distance He has run his engine, to r main and continue his personal service, when he has given notice to the railroad company that he has left its service. ————-——__—__ NEAR TO BLOODSHED. Exciting Encounter Between Arkansas Politicians. The spectacle of a member of the Ar- kansas legislature, livid with rage, spitting in the face of the governor of that com- monwealth, who quickly returned the in- sult in the same manner, and a flourish of firearms in the hands of the governor, was witnessed in the lobby of Gleason’s Hotel at Little Rock, Ark., yesterday afternoon, and was the result of the sensational charges of bribery in connection with the railroad commission bill sprung in the house of representatives Saturday by Mr. Yancey of Phillips county. Mr. Jones of Marion county arose to a point of personal privilege, and denounced Gov. Clark as be- ing at the bottom of the charges. He said that Gov. Clark was a demagogue, and was going around like an assassin in the night with a knife, stabbing in the back men who were his peers. Yesterday afterncon Clark met Jones and requested a private interview with him. Jones replied that he would accompany the governor nowhere, and that if the chief executive had anything to say to him he must make it known. Hot words followed, and in a fit of rage Jones spat in the governor's face. Gov. Clark, trembling with anger, re- turned the insult, and as quick as a flash had drawn his revolver, and the difficulty might have resulted in bloodshed but for the quick action of bystanders. The gov- crnor was later arrested by a constable, and releaseg on his own recognizance, An courage, proper exercise, and from the inception of the dis- ease the continual use of Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil and Hypophosphites, are absolutely necessary. Keep up good courage, and with the use of this most nour- ishing and fattening preparation recovery is certain in the first stages, and may be accomplished even when the lungs are seri- ously involved. Stop the exces- sive waste (and nothing will do it like Scott’s Emulsion), and you are almost safe. Don't be persuaded to accept @ substitute! Scott & Bowne, N.Y. All Druggists. 50c. and a THE SALLIE DEAN MURDER. Price’s Dreams and Their Narration Caused His Arrest. Marshall Price, who has been arrested charged with the murder of Sallie Dean, the Caroline county, Maryland, school girl, as already related in The Star, served on the jury of inquest, suggested the tramp theory of the murder and later began to have dreams, in which the details of the murder were clearly depicted, and these he would relate. On Tuesday of last week Price accompanied detectives to the scene of the murder and remarked: “Three thousand people have searched these but it remains for me to find the He went near where the head of the murdered girl lay when found, and, scratching under pine leaves and dirt, un- earthed a large knife to which blood still clung. He also found a bow made of rib- bon which the girl wore. Price, when part- ing with his young wife at the jail, said: “Mary, I am charged with the murder of Sallie Dean, and the evidence is very much against me. I know they will hang me, but I am an innocent man.” While on the train being taken to Bal- timore he told the police that he had some- thing of importance to tell them, but he would not divulge it until he reached Balti- more and saw Marshal Frey. Price kept his word, and told Marshal Frey a story of the crime, in which he charged that U. Grant Corkran had committed the mur- der and that he had witnessed it. Accord- ing to Price’s statement, Corkran killed the girl, and he was only a witness to the afte He also claims that the girl's throat was cut with a razor that Corkran borrowed from him, but a razor could hard- ly make such a cut as. was found on the collar of the girl’s dress, and which pene- trated her throat and nearly severed her head from her body. Price says that Cork- fan struck the girl with a stone and then cut her throat with a razor. It was while the girl was lying on the ground that they quarreled about her, he said, and, in the heat of the discussion, Corkran walked away, while Price covered her body with some brush and hid her books and lunch basket. Corkran’s story is that he was at his home during the time the murder occurred mending a horse collar, and, while thus employed, he saw the girl pass his home on her way to school. Hethen ‘'s that after he had finished the work on the col- lar he put it on a horse and began plowing, and was thus engaged when he heard the alarm given that the girl's body had been found and saw her parents pass by. Corkran has been arrested. A strong point against Price is that the cut on Sallie Dean’s head could only have been done by a person using the left hand. Price is affected with this marked pe- culiarity, and did most everything in a left-handed manner. The cut in the girl's throat runs from the left to the right side, and only such cuts, as a rule, are made by left-handed persons. ee SHOT HIS WIFE. Harry St. John, Formerly of the Land Office, a Victim of Jealousy. Harry St. John, who was for six years a Taw clerk in the general land office, under the Arthur and first Cleveland administra- tions, shot and killed his wife at their home near Oklahoma City last week. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon St. John rush- ed into a doctor’s office and wildly an- nounced that he had accidentally shot and killed his wife at his suburban home, two miles from that city. Physicians hastened out to kis residence and found her body, pierced with a pistol ball. St. John was in court all the ferenoon, and on his way home some cne handed to him a letter that warned him that his wife was not faith- ful, and he at @nce became frenzied. He went home, and, with a pistol in his hand, demanded that his wife explain to him the matters mentioned in the letter.

SUGAR IN The Production Increasing, but the Consumption is Slow. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am- bassador, has furnished to the Department of State a copy of a circular issued by the West India committee of London concern- ing sugar production. The ambassador ex- plains that it is not to be regarded as an expression of opinion by his government, but only of the committee’s views. The circular calls attention to the fact that the sugar industry, beet as well as cane, is passing through a crisis of the most serl- ous description, and expresses :he hope that in attempting to provide a remedy the various governments should avoid tak- ing any steps which may aggravate the crisis instead of relieving it. It is shown that while the production is increasing at the rate of a million tons per annum, the consumption grows slowly at the rate of only 250,000 tons per annum. Naturally, prices are depressed, and the bounty sys- tem is ascribed as the cause of this state of affairs. Therefore, it advocates the en- tire aboliticn of the bounty and the stimu- lation of consumption by the reduction of the duties levied on sugar, which are ex- cessive in Europe and prevent the people as = whole from using sugar.
