Rpbinson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal ohureb of this city, has been condusting tho mercantile business operated for many years by J. V. N. Bilos, a citizen us prominent in the religious circles of the Methodist church as in the business circles of the city. Biles turned over his store to Robison, who oper- ated it under the firm name of J. T, Robinsoo & Co. Last weel Biles took possossion of the store again, tho sequel to which was a startling denouement which took place last night, following the regular webkly prayer meeting at the Methodist church. Mr. Biles caused a sensation by rising and stating that he desired in that public manner to tender the keys of the store to Rev. Dr. Robinson, stating briefly the story of bis business relations with thio revercnd gentle- man and claiming that in this business rela- tion the pastor was snort $4,500 in his ue. counts. The announcement fell upon the solemn sanctity of the prayer mesting like a thun- der clap. Thoss present were callad upo to witness the tender made to Rev. Dr. Robin- s0n, which was not accepted. Today papers wero being prepared by attorneys to prose cute the well known divine, and sowe more starthing dovelopments witl doubtless come out ia the suit. Biles has in his possession a telogram stowing that a farm belonging to Rov. Dr. Robinson in Nance county was ro- cently trausferred to his wite's name. Rev. Dr. Robinson admits the transfer of the Nunce county farm to his wifo, but ex- plains that it was hers to begin with. He saia her father gave her a pieco of land in Towa whichi was traded fu on this farm which Itobinson mortgaged in his own name, until he paid the mortgage, when the prop- erty was transforred to his wife again. He also insists that he made no representation of any amount of goods in the store.

The lack of patronage, however, seems to have had no effect on tho riders, and last night started.out with as much dash and determination as would have muvked their efforts had the building been packed. Prince did not start. After a few miles had been reeled off, Ashinger spurted away with the evident intention of taking a lap from Wood, but the little Englishman clung to him like a shadow and he couldn't . gain an . inch, They both took a lap, however. from Stage and O'Flan- agan, who were uuequal to the severe strain, It was a great burst of speed, and the speo- tators kept up a continuous shout until the feat above mentioned had been accomplished. Barring accidents the first honors now lies between Ashinger and Wood, with the chances all in favor of the Englishman, who is the spaediest man on the track. [Eighteen miles and three-quarters was mude in the first hour, with Wood, as usual, in the lead. Ashinger'shows wonderful improvement in his riding, and 1s really a very speedy man. The Indiaus were in from the fort and seemed to enjoy the sport immensely. They yelled wildly when the men made their spurts, and acted as if they wanted to jump dowh on the track and take purt in the race. They will all be presént again tonight, a number of them in aboriginal costume. Wood, who so far has hogged all the records, crossed the 200-milo post in the lead.! Score, four nights : Ridors.

Right in the face of the meeting of the presidents in New York this week, called to consider the commission question and the attitude of the Chicago & Alton, two more castern lines have resumed passenger rela- tions with tne Alton. General Passenger Agent Holwellof tho Delaware, Lackawanna & Westorn has fssued a circular to tickot agents, baggage agents, conductors and gatemen announcing that tickets issued by or reading over the Chicago & Alton road will bo accepted by that company hercafter, an that the relations oxisting prior to Abril 14, 1591, aro restored.

Jan. 6.—All sorts were afioat . tonight in regard to Br. Blaine's condition...The ma- jority of them were of a most sensational character, being that he had broken down completely and was in a most critical condi- tion. Somo of them went so far as to assert that he could not possibly recover. In order to ascortain the facts, representatives of the Associated press tonight interrogated the physicians connected with the case. They were inter- viewed soparately, and each of them, with- out knowing what the other said, asserted positively, and without quallfication of any kind, that Mr. Blaine was suffering from indigestion caused by overeatitg, and from nothing else. Dr. St. Clair, who was the first physician in attendance and who was with him neariy an hour beforo the other physicians arrived, made the following statement ot tho case: “Last night Mr. Blaine complained slightly of & sense of uneasiness in his stomaeh. [t was ot sufiicient, however, i’ is ‘opinion, nor in the opinion of Dr. Hyatt, his family physician, who happened to be present, hav- ng been called to see Mrs. Blaine, to re- quire any medical attontion. He arose as usual this morning, feeling quite well, ate an unusually hearty breakfast, came to the de- partment at the usual time .and began the duties of the day in the usual macuer. Shortly after this ho began to feel nauscated. He called General Koster's attontion to his coudition and General Foster sent for mo. I reached the side of the secretary inside of two minutes. It was then about 4 quarter after | o'clock. The secretary was sufferinz from extreme nausea. With Mr. Foster's assistance I heiped him to the sofa. The nausea became more and more pressing, until finally vomiting commenced. It w.* easy and natural and the secretary succeeded in jecting a_large quantity of “mixed and rich food. Thinking 1t advisable that his stomach should be thoroughly emptied, I ordered a tumbler of tepid water and added a little salt, in order that the dose might be thoroughly nauseated, and induced the sec- rotary to drink it. Copious. vomiting fol- towed. the last of the matter discharged indi- cating the, stomaoh was then empty and clean. Within a fow m pulse began to BLAIN OVERING. His Illness Not WASHINGTON, of rumors utes the secretary’s rise until it was ab- solutely regular. .and normal, and he was, barritg the natural prostration which always attends extremg nausea, as well a man as he had been for many months. His eyes weve bright and his color good, Dr. VanKeypen, who came in about this time, appliod & single mustard leaf over tho larger curvature of the stomach to allay any irritation which might possibly remain after the vomiting. No further coatraction of the stomach oreurred, nor was there any indication that it was likely to occur. A short time after this Dr. Hyatt arrived aud found the patient in excellent. condition, but from abundant caution prescried a soothing draught of limewater with a few drops of carbolic acid. The secre- tary then got up and walked to his carriage without any appavent effort. He was then taken home and 1 have not seen him since.” Dr. Van Reypen says ho felt a delicacyin talking about the case, but upon being inforned of the alarming rumors in circulation on thesubject,dictated the follow- ing stutement : 5 “Chief Clerk Brown came to my office about 12:30 todzy and askea me to step up- stairs and see tne secretary, who was, he said, suffering from: an attack of indigestion, Surgeon McClurg of the navy was in my office at the time atd accowpanied me to Mr. Blaine’s ofice. We found him Iying on the sofa, perfcctly rational. He had recovered from an attack of nausea, hay- ing already ejected the contents of his stomach. His whole trouble.was. in conse- queuce of having eaten too much richly seasoned food for breakfast. He suf- fered: the penalty of haviug 8 ood cook. After he had vomited, his trouble was over. 1 applied & mustard plaster to his stomach to allay any irritation thav may have been remaining and that was all the treatment he required.. Dr. Hyatt called just as I had removed the plaster, 1 trans- ferred the patient to his care. The secretary at that time had quite recovered from his attack, There were noother symptoms pres- ent at any time excepting those of an over- tonded stomach,”’ % > This concluded Dr. Van Reypen’s’ state- meat. He was then asked if-there were, as rumored, symptoms of upoplexy In the case and he ropiied: *None, whatever, nor indeed, were -there symptoms of any trouble other than I have already indicatea.” r. Frack Hyatt, who is Mr. Blaine's reg- ular physician, stated in the most positive torms that Mr. Blaino's iilness today was “sunply an attack of acute indigestion re. sulting from hard work, lack of exergise and a heavy brenkfast and’ nothwg else.’t Ho saia Mr. Blaine rallied quickly aud thor- oughly from the attack and was soon able to proceed home in his carriage without assist- auce. He said he called on My. Blaine about 5 o’clock this afternoon and found bim in good condition, the nauses having onlirely disappeared, his pulse and temperature boing normal. He was not suffering in the least at tuat time, sud the physicians added that there was nothing in his condition at present 10 require any fusthor attention at his hands. He would not eall again- tonight, bocause ho did uot think it neccssary, but ho proposed as & matter of prudence to make another visit tomorrow about noon. He expressod the opinfon that to- day's attack was partially due to a cold contracted by the secretary two days ago while workiog for some time in a room with the thermometer nearly at 60=. ‘T'bis, together with bard work and lack of his customary exercise, due to tho bad weathor, had made him more susceptible to indigestion than he otherwise would have veen, —— VETERAN FIREMEN ELECT. n for the Ensuing Year und New Rules Proposed.

Matta's ciroulsr, which "was seut not ouly to Minister Montt, but to all the Chilian repre- sentatives in Kurope, was couched ail through in an offensive tone.

As I cabled you, the document was:sent off by bim with- out having been submitted to President Montt or the other mambers of the cabinet. What Matta Said, In this dispatch Matta declaryd that ¢ rotary T'racy’s roport and President Harri- son’s message were based on information which was erroneous or deliberately 1ncor roct; that there was a want of exactness and frankness in the statements made In Wash- ington, and that Mr. fgan had purposely communicated to ‘him a note in aggressive and violent language. The dispatch concluded by saving that Matta was as sure of Montt's punctuality as he was the right and pro- priety of Chili's acts and of the final revolt, in splte of intrigues that descend so low and of threats that come from so hi Thig was was tho spirit in which tho entire dispatch was written.

Presi- dent Diaz, the present incumbent attained his present position through precisely the same methods with which Garza now under- takes his overthrow. The same plea was put forth by both Diaz and Garz, that the constitution was being vio- lated and the country was in danger of relapsing into dictatorship. Diaz met with that same paltry support at the begi niug that Garza bas received, and, like Garza, sought an asylum in Texas when pressed by the federal autnorities of Mexico. Diaz, like Gurza, also inaugurated his movement_ in Matamoras, the hotbed of nearly every Mexican revolution. Both bave proclaimed most lofty sentiments of patriotic devotion to the country ir vronuneiamento. Diaz has aiready achieved tame as a mlitary general and had the conlidence of his followers. Garza is an unknown ‘editor of a fiery little country paper and outside of a limited circle of sub- scrivers “is. an .utter stranger to the peopla whom ho now strives to lead into what. if successfully inaugurated will be the most bioody of ull Mexican revolutions.

'The third and most formidable class of enemies of the ad- mivistration the clerical or church party of Mexico. Since the patriot Juarez dissolved the union of church and state and confiscated ail ecclesiastical property and devoted the proceeds to the state, the most bitter enmity toward the government has already been exhibited. On divers occasions the e¢lorical party has at- ‘tempted to override tha law and reassert its power, but the iron hand of Diaz has warped them with unmis- takable significance that no such inter- ference would be tolerated in the reforms which Juarez inaugurated. Danger most sorious to the Diaz government rests hers. Priests have the ear of the poorer peopie, and to arousc their zeal and enlist them in re- ligious warfare would not he such a difficult matter.
