I -~ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895. ; ON EASTERN TRACKS. Klamath the Star of the Grand Circuit Meet. FAST HEATS TROTTED. Aunt Delilah Also Made. Good Time and Was Sold for Four Thousand. TAME RACING AT HARLEM, Second Picks Captured Four of the Five Running Events There. BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. he uncouth bay ¢ Moorookus, was the star of to-day’s races at the grand i He took three straight heats in 1trot in splendid style. Beuzetta, nificent four-ye d that made such fine racing last week, was not drawn until 2 o’clo when all the betting had to be declared off. Shethrew day while warm and h Onoqua, the bay filly Stauer of McGregor, Ia., was also drawn, and Mr. Hamlin thought it best to take his mare Nightingale out. This left bnt Klamath, t her hoof. owned by I P. a shoe the other | four starters, so Dandy Jim was added. | Aunt Delilah had the polein the first heat, but Lesa Wilkes took the lead from her and carried the bunch along at a lively clip, Dandy Jim second and Klamath a good third. Coming into the stretch Klamath was absolutely last. Then Ray- mond made adrive for the wire. Klamath spread himself out till his belly seemed to touch the track and his white head passed Delilah, Dandy Jim and David B in turn and flasbed beside Lesa Wilkes. Within 100 feet of the wire he carried Lesa off her feet. She passed the wire first, but was set back to second place for her break. Klamath had been a strong favorite in the betting, but he was now quoted at al- most prohibitory odds, and Lesa” Wilkes was played heavily for the place. Klam- ath took the second heat easily by a length, Aunt Delilah beating Dandy Jim for second place. In the third heat Klamath showed that he had speed plenty to beat the field easily. As the bunch came to the stretch Thomas Raymond, fhe owner and driver of the gelding, swung from the pole to the center of the track, permitting Aunt Delilah to glip into the pole, a position which un- doubtedly gave her second money. Dick- erson, who was driving Lesa Wilkes, pro- tested to the judges, claiming that this move put him clear on the outside and kept him from taking second money. Raymond explained that he had swung to the center because of a bad spot at the pole, and the judges accepted his excuse. The moment._the race was over Stewart sold Aunt Delilah to Costello of New York for §4000. Earlier in the day Costello’s representative had offered him $3000 and said he would give $4000 if Aunt Delilah won first or second money. Rachael made a notable mile in the 2:27 pace, crossing the wire in 2:081. It was stated authoritatively here to-day that on account of the poor attendance the Hamlins will not hold a grand circuit meeting here next year, but will fit upa track at Fort Erie, Canada, directly oppo- site this city on the Niagara River and of easy access by boat. Andy Welch said to- night that while $900,000 passed through the pool-sellers’ hanas last season only $50,000 had been handled this year. 2:27 class, pace, purse $2000.

The track was in good condition, but the first hali was gone over so slowly that the big stallion conld not make up for the time he lost. He was paced by a running horse and made the mile in 2:043. The rirst quarter was made in :32, the second in :3114, the third in :31 and the last in’ :293{.

NAPA, Carn, Aug. 15.—To-day’s race meet drew a large crowd, but it was not as enthusiastic as the crowds of the three former days, as the horseraces were very tame, the favorites winning in straight heats. Hon. H.M.La Rue, Railroad Com- missioner, arrived last evening and acted asjudge and starter. The betting was the heaviest of the week and a large amount of money changed hands. The bicycle races were very interesting, especially the twenty-five-mile relay, which was won by Napa, St. Helena and Sonora also competing. Ed Chapman, E. G. Man- nase, J. Parker and S. Nakai composed Napa's team. The latter is a Jap and promises to make a speedy rider. In the 2:40 trot for two-year-olds, purse $500.

Dr. Thomas McClay, secreiary of the Peta- luma Fair Association, arrived in Napa this morning and denied the rumor. He says that every arrangement has been made for four days of horse racing and that Saturday will be given up entirely to bicyecle races. O’ Donnell Defeated Gardner. MEMPHIS, Tesx., Aug. 15. — Billy O’Donnell of Memphis to-night defeated Oscar Gardner of Kansas City, after a fierce battle, lasting eighteen rounds, in a 25-round contest, given under the auspice: of the Pastime Athletic Ciub, at the Grand Opera-house. O'Donnell seemed to be get- ting slightly the worst of the fizht until some fifteen rounds had been fought. Up to that time Gardner had been doing most of the leading, but the Memphis man had been merely husbanding his resources. After the beginning of the sixteenth round he began to push matters, and soon had the Kansas City boy going. In the eignt- eenth round O’Donnell went at his man in earnest, knocking him down twice. Gard- ner was helplessly gone when the gong sounded, and his seconds threw up the sponge. S On the Ball Field. BALTIMORE, Mp., Aug. 15.—Baltimores 11, 18, 4; Bostons 10, 18, 2.

SPREAD OF THE CHOLERA It May Interfere With the Inves- tigation of Outrages in China. Departure of a Distinguished Com~ pany of Missionaries for the Scene of Strife. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 15—A cablegrain was received at the State De- partment from Consul Reed at Tientsin, stating that tLere is cholera in Tientsin and Chefoo. This fact may interfere somewhat with rapid communication be- tween Minister Denby and Admiral Cas- penter, who have the questions relating to the recent Chinese outrages in charge. Ad- miral Carpenter is supposed to have reached Chefoo on the Baltimore last night, but ne cablegram to that effect has reached the Navy Department. He went there because that port offered better tete- graphic communication with Minister Denby at Peking. The gunboat Machias is also at Chefoo. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 15.—A dis- tinguished company of missionaries of the Protestant Episcopal church left to-day on their journey to Vancouver, from which place they will sail on August 26 for China. The party consists of: The Rev. Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky, Mrs. and Miss Schereschewsky, of Cambridge, Mass., the Rev. D. Trambull Huntington of Hart- [ ford, and Miss Steva Dodson of Wythe- ville, Va. At Vancouver the company will be joined by Dr. William L. Ludlow of Seattle, a medical missionary. Bishop Schereschewsky, although aged and infirm, will return to China, where he was for many years a missionary and sub- sequently Bishop of the American church, for the purpose of superintending the work of printing his translation of the Scriptures into Wen Li, the literary and unspoken language of China. This work, upon which the Bishop had been engaged on a sick bed for more than seven years, has just been completed, and after his arrival in China will be put through the press. Bishop Bchereschewsky’s translation has the in- dorsement of the highest church authori- ties in America, and of the Archbishop of Canterbury in England.

REFORMS GREATLY DESIRED. At Present, However, Parliament Is Asked to Attend to Only Routine Affalrs. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 15.—The House of Commons met at 2 o’clock this atternoon, and the members were at once summoned by the Usher of the Black Rod to the House of Lords to hear the reading of the Queen’s speech. The speech was as fol- lows: “My Lords and Gentlemen: Communi- cations whiech I received from foreign powers assure me of the continuance of their good will. Iam happy to say that no international complication has arisen | in any quarter that is calculated to endan- ger the peace of Europe. The war between China and Japan, which was in progress at the end of the last session, was brought to a conclusion by a peace which I trust will be enduring. I have observed strict neutrality during the war and have not taken any action in respect thereto, ex- cept such as appeared likely to be favor- able to the termination of hostilities. “I deeply regret to say that most atro- cious outrages upon a body of English missionaries have been reported in the province of Fukhien, China. In reply to an earnest representation addressed to the | Chinese Government by my directions | active measures, which I trust will prove eifective, are being taken to punisk the murderers and all who were in any degree responsible for these crires. ‘“International troubles which have broken out in the Armenian districts of Asiatic Turkey have been attended with horrors which have moved the indigna- tion of the Christian nations of Europe | generally, my people especially. My Em- | bassador and the Embassadors of the Em- | peror of Russia and the President of the | French Republic, acting together, have | suggested to the Government of the Sultan | the reforms which in their opinion are necessary 10 prevent a recurrence of con- stant disorder. These proposals are now being considered by the Sultan. I am anxiously awaiting his deeision. “Gentlemen of the House of Commons, the estimates for service for the year, which were not voted by the last Parlia- ment, will be laid before you. My lords and gentlemen, at this season of the year it will probably be found mere convenient to defer until another session consideration of any important legislative matters, ex- cept those necessary to provide for admin- istrative charges of the year.” The commission to read the Queen’s speech consisted of: Lord Halsbury (the Lord Chancellor), the Duke of Portland, the Earl of Latham, Viscount Cross and Lord Balfour of Burleigh. All were attired in their scarlet and ermine robes of office. Lord Halsbury read the speech, while Speaker Gulley and the members of the House of Commons stood at the bar. When the reading was con- cluded the Speaker and the other mem- bers of the House of Commons retired to their own chambers. ! In the House of TLords the Duke of Marlborough moved the address in reply | to the Queen’s speech, which motion was seconded by Lord Ampthill. in the House of Commons Hon. Twode- house Legh, Conservative, and eldest son of Lord Newton, n:oved the address in re- ply to the Queen’s speech. Newton was seconded by the new Conservative mem- ber for Hackney, T. Herbert Robertson. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancel- | lor of the Exchequer in the Liberal Minis- | try and leader of the Liberals in the House, said he hoped the Armenian ques- tion would not be allowed to sleep. He pressed the Government for information as to its intentions regarding the Irish question. Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, said the Government was doing their best to carry into effect the policy regarding Armenia that had been initiated by the preceding Parliament, but they must guard against anything sugges- tive of a crusade in which Moslem would be arrayed against Christian. It did not appear to be a necessity, Mr. Balfour de- clared, that any legislation upon the Irish land question should be had until the next session of Parliament. Sir Charles W. Dilke reminded the House that the Chinese Government had always protested against the residence of missionaries in the empire, and said that the missionaries certainly ought to con- form in every possible way to the customs of the country; but, he added, he feared that they did not always do so. John Redmond, the Parnellite leader, then moved the amendment to the address in reply to the Queen’s speech, of which he had previously given notice, calling upon the Gevernment to declare their policy in regard to home rule for Ireland, the reform of the -Jand laws, the com- pulsory purchase of land, evicted tenants and the industrial condition of the coun- try. The amendment was seconded by Joseph Kenny. John Dillon, speaking in support of Mr. Redmond’s amendment, contended that the home-rulers had returned to Par- liament stronger than ever, having won from the Unionists two seats in Ireland, where the national opinion had not been altered by the English political revoiu- tion. Mr. Dillon admitted that there was an ominous silence in America regarding the Irish question, which, he confessed, he did not like. It was a sign, he said, that the mighty work effected by Parnell in leading the people there to believe that Ireland’s cause would be won by constitutional agitation in Parliament had been destroyed. He appealed to the Government to use its strength by showing justice. Gerald W. Balfour, Chief Becretary for Ireland, thanked the Irish members who had spoken for the moderate Janguage they had used. The Government's atti- tude toward home rule, he said, was and would continue to be, one of unflinching opposition. They could not introduce a land bill now, owing to its necessarily con- troversial character. He did not_reg a tem; i desirable. Thmfion regm :'numd“ tenants, he declared, was not necessarily 80 urgent as it was represented to be. Mr. Dillon had suggested that it was possible to frame a non-contentious bill in relation to the matter, and the Government, Mr. Balfour said, was prepared to consider such a bill should one be admitted. The statement of the Chief Secretary was greeted with cheers from the Irish benches. Continuing, Mr. Balfour said regarding the other matters mentioned that the Gov- ernment would fairly consider them, and, if they were able to promote the prosperity of Ireland by the adoption of the measure proposed, they would do so. Their desire was to remedy every legiti- mate grievance, regardless of creed or class, aiming not only at a just, but a gen- erous promotion of the industrial and material development of the country by sowing the seeds of prosperity. The conclusion of the Chief Secretary’s remarks provoked loud and prolonged cheering. Mr. Timothy Harrington, in support of the amendment, referred to the attitude of Liberal party toward home rule during the last election as unknown, when a member whose identity was not discovered, ex- claimed, “They ran away from it.” At this, Dr. Charles K. D. Tanner, anti- Parnellite, cried out, “That’s a lie.” Amid calls for order the Speaker directed Dr. Tanner to withdraw the expression he had made and to apologize for having used it. To this that member replied: “I cannot stand up when you are in your place.” Speaker Gully—I shall be under the ne- cessity of naming the honorable member. Dr. Tanner—I cannot withdraw what I believe to be the truth. The speaker then named Dr. Tanner for gross disobedience of the chair and for willful disorder. Dr. Tanner responded: * On the con- trary, sir, anything that comes to me from the chair I am only too happy to do, but T cannot tell an untruth.” Mr. Joseph Chamberlain then moved that Dr. Tanner be suspended, and emid cheers the speaker put the question. The responses were loud ‘“aye” and a few “pays.” The speaker’s announcement of the result of the vote was challenged, and the usual course was pursued. When the tellers were asked the result of the division by the speaker Dr. Tanner exclaimed, “I'll tell it myself.” The speaker declared the motion carried 2nd ordered Dr. Tanner to withdraw, but the latter did not move. Thereupon the speaker directed the sergeant-at-arms to remove him. Dr. Tanuer at once rose from his seat, bowed to the chair and marched down the gangway. Turning, he shouted: *I have greater pleasure in leaving than I ever had in en- tering this dirty House.”” He pointed at Mr, Chamberlain, at whom he also shook his fist and shouted, “Ju- das.” Four times before he reached the door did Dr. Tanner turn and repeat the epithet. The last words the members heard as the attendants ej ecied him were: “You won't try any nonsense with me.” Dr. Tanner’s suspension is for a week, this being the first time he has been sus- pended. Mr. Harrington having finished the de- bate, the House adjourned. WORK OF THE INSURGENTS General Gomez and an Army Besiege the Town of Pu- erte Principe. Now There Are at Least Thirty Thousand Men Arrayed Against the Spanish. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 15.— Advices from Nauvitas, Cuba, state that the town of Puerte Principe is besieged by General Maximo Gomez with an army of 5500, well armed. -He has one fieldpiece and 600 spearmen. The investment had lasted two weeks on August 5 and capitulation was expected any moment. The Times this morning prints ar inter- view with a merchant having specially in- timate relations with the West Indies and Latin-America in general, who says that the present revolution in Cuba is a most serious affair. He states that the Cubans probably have 25,000 to 30,000 men in active revolt and that the uprising is extending through all the classes of the population, four out of six provinces of Cuba, or nearly four-fifths of the island, being overrun by the insurrectionists. In his opinion, the next six months would decide the fate of the revolution. ftPresident Palma of the Cuban Revolu- tionary jparty in this city received a letter last night from General Maximo Gomez written on the battle-field at Camaguay. General Gomez writes that he iy organizing his men at Camaguay and that several of its prominent citizens have joined the in- surgents. He also says that he now com- mands personally 5000 men, and he and his men are in good health and spirits and confident of victory. General Antonio Maceo is now operating in the Santiago dishi‘:t at the head of al- most 15,000 men. Senor Palma said that from reports which he has received he learns that the insurgents now control the districts of Las Villias, Camaguay and the eastern department, which takes in Santiago and Bayamo. Francis Carado, a Mexican soldier, wants to fight for Cuba. He says that when he reaches the island he will assassinate Campos. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Aug. 15—A cablegram from Key West says: Private advices received in this city report that Mirabel, a bandit now with the insur- gents, has been offered $50,000 and a free passage from the island by Martinez Cam- pos if he will kill Maximo Gomez. The matter was promptly reported to Gomez. Considerable excitement prevails in the Vuelta Abajo district. Indications are that several large bands will soon join the insurgents. A On the 12th inst. the insurgents, under the command of Bermudez, captured the forts and burned the same in Santa Rita Villas district. Colonel Zebrico, reported killed by the Government, has taken command of the insurgents formerly commanded by Gar- zon, who was killed at the battle of Pelayas. - Roloff and 2 band of followers have de- stroyed all communication between Sancti Spiritus and the rest of the island. A let- ter was received in this city to-night from one of Roloff’s band, dated the 28th ult., stating that they landed safely and had captured several horses and carts, which they used to carry ammunition to the in- terior. A The letter states that they are encamped within twelve miles (of Sancti Spiritus. Up to date of the letter they had not been bothered by Spanish forces, which has given them a much need rest. They were re-enforced by Lagon and Solano with 200 men. A messenger has been sent to Lino- perez, at present at Santa Clara province with 1000 men, to meet them near Sancti Spiritus, when active operations will be commenced. ) NOT GROVERS KIND. Continued from First Page. guised purpose of insugurating and promoting & thorough and systematic organization of the Democratic masses, so that they may go for- ward as one man With & resolute purpose to rescue the old party, founded by Thomas Jef- ferson, from plutocratic domination. = Therefore, with this object in view, this couvention of American Demoerats, composed of representatives of twenty-two of the leading States of the Union, make the following dec- laration on the monetary question, which has been torced into the leading place among the issues of to-day. Tho Federal constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States. The first coinage law passed by Congress under the constitution made the silver 'dollar the unit of value, and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio meas- ured by the silver doller unit. From the beginning of the Government, fol- lowing a policy formulated by Thomas Jeffer- son, and firmly established by Jackson, the Democratic party hes been the party of bimetallism, favoring the free coinage of both silver and gold at the National mints, and op- posed to & farming cut (o banking corporations the Government’s sovereign power of issuing and controlling the money of the people. The act of 1873 demonetizng silver was surrep- titiously passed without the approvel or knowl- edge of the American people, and from the time when the effect of this act in fastening upon this country the single gold standard was understood, the Demoeratic party has con- sistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong be righted. Failure to accom- plish this object has resulted in the steady appreciation of gold and a corresponding fail ir. the price of commodities produced by the people, a heavy increase in the burden of aii | debts, public and private, the enrichment of the money-lending class, paralysis of industry, and the impoverishment of the people and unexampled distress in a1l gold-standard coun- tries. Experience has shown that while under the single gold standard there may be an occa- sional revival of business activity, accompa- nied by enhanced prices of a limited number of commodities, such revival is due to artifi- cial and temporary causes and cannot perma- nently elleviate the suferings due to the fall- ing of prices, brought sbout by the spprec tion of gold and the inadequate supply of primary or redemption money. The rights of the American people, the inter- est of American labor and the prosperity of American industry have & higher claim i0 the consideration of the people’s lawmakers than the greed of foreign cteditors or the avaricious demands by “idle holders of idle capital.” The right to regulate its own monetary system in the interest of its own people is a right which no free government can barter, sell or surrender. This reserved right is a part of every bond, of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claimant can set up aright that can take precedence over a Na- tion’s obligations to jromote the welfare of the masses of its people. This debt is higher and more binding than all other debts, and one that it is not only dishonest but treason- abie to ignore. The policy of gold monometallism has been characterized by repeated and disastrous finan- cial panics. The farmers have found their prosperity and indevendence constantly wan- ing under its blighting influences. Manufae- turers are interested to oppose it, for they find the price of sale falling below the cost of pro- duction. Merchants should oppose it, for with the falling prices they are often compelled to sell for less than they paid for manufactured goods. Neither manufacturer nor merchant can prpsper unless the mass of consumersrealize such prices for their produets and labor as sup- ply themselves liberally with the necessities and luxuries of life, norcan the wage-earner prosper, for under depressed conditions there is less and less corpetition for his labor. The Democratic pariy is the traditional friend and champion of bimetallism. Its strength and power and popularity have been largely built upon its steadfast opposition to the demonetization of silver ard its record of unwearied effort to Testore it to its historic place as a money metal equal with gold. The cffort at this late day to make it par excellence the champion of gold monometallism, the enemy of the policy upheld and the defender of the crime denounced, isan effort to dishonor its record, its promises and its principles. Duty to the people requires that the party of the people continues the battle for bimetallism until the efforts are crowned with success; therefore be it Resolved, That the Democratic party, in National convention sssembled, should de- mand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the action or appraval of any other nation. Resolved, Thatitshould declare its irrevocable opposition- to the subsiitution for a metallic money of a panic-breeding, corporation credit currency based on a single metal, the supply of which is so limited that it can be cornered at any time by a few Lanking institutions in Europe and America. Resolved, That it should declare itsopposition to the poliey and practice of surrendering to the holders of obligations of the United States the option reserved by the law to the Govern- ment of reGeeming such obligations in either silver coin or gold coin. Resolved, That it should declare its opposition to the issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of peace, and especially to placing the treasury of the Government under the control of any syndicate of bankers, and the issuance of bonds to be sold by them at an enormous profit, for the purpose of supply- jng the Federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monemetallism. With a view to securing the adherence to a readoption of the Democratic financial volicy above set forth by the Democratic National Convention to be assembled in 1896, and of the romina- tion of & candidate for the the Presidency well- known to be in hearty sympathy therewith, we hereby pledge our mutual co-operation and urgently recommend to Democratic brethren in all the States to at once begin and vigor- ously and systematically prosecute the work of & thorough organization, and to this end the | adoption of a plan of organization herewith | submitted is recommended. Mr. Hill of Missouri moved the adoption of the address and resolutions, which was agreed to by a unanimous vote. The plan of organization recommended by the committee was then outlined to the conference as follows: Believing that a large majority of the Demo- cratic voters of the United States are in har- mony with the sentimenis expressed in the foregoing address, ana kuowing that a full and | free expression of their views can only be as- | certained and made effective through properly organized efforts, we recommend the following as a plan of organization: First—There shall be a National Committee of Democrats who are in favor of both gold and silver as the money of the constitution, which shall be composed of one Democrat from each State, and the executive committee Lere- inafter provided for. Second—That until otherwise ordered by the National Committee Senators Harris of Ten- nessee, Jones of Arkansas, Turpie of Indiana and Hon. W. J. Stone of Missouri and Hon. W. H. Hinrichsen of Iilinois be and are hereby constituted the executive committee, and shall have full power and authority, and it shall be their duty =t us early a day as possible to ap- point the mexhers of the National Committee herein provided for and to fill vacancies in the same. ’;‘hlrdl—Thnt said executive committee shall have full control and direction of the patriotic efforts of the bimetallic Democrats ot the Na- tion to secure in the next Democratic conven- tion the maintenance of the time-honored principles of the Democratic party, and when the National Confmittee herein provided for is not in session the execntive committee shall have authority to discharge the duties hereby conferred upon the National Committee. Fourth — It shall be duty of the member of the National Committee from each State to take such steps ashe may deem best to organize the bimetallic forces of his State, aud it is earnestly recommended that in each county and election precinct of each State bimetallic Democratic ¢lubs be organized, and to that pur- pose he may appoint such committees and can- vassers as he may deem best. Fifth—That fully realizing the fact that this or any other plan of organization cannot be successful without the hearty co-operation of the voters themselves, we urge upon every voterin every State in the Union who is in sympathy wi‘n this movement and who wishes to restore permanent prosperity to his home and country to lend his aid and influence to perfecting this organization, and each of them enroil himself- in such club. = oS By a unanimous vote approval was given to the plan proposed and. the ‘conference then, on ‘motion of Senator Harris, ad- journed sine die. After the adjournment of the conference | the executive committee provided for -the plan of organization held 4 two-hour ses- sion, at which means of obtaining an effi- cient National committee was -fully- dis- cussed. It was finally decided to divide the country into sections and to give each member of the executive committee a sec- | tion in which to correspond with a view to getting the best men to advance the cause outlined by the convention. It was found necessary to take this step,as all the States were not represented at the conference and many of those represented did not wish to name men for the National committee be- fore consulting their friends at home. The executive committee before separat- ing named the following members for the National committee: Ex-Senator Walsh of Anugusta, Ga.; J. H. Dennis of Reno, Nev.; C. 8. Thoms of Colorado; G. Ainslee of Idaho; J. H. Head of Nashville, Tenn., and C. Armstrong of Arkansas. The corm- mittee adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman, Senator Harris of Ten- nessee. FLLONERS OF A V00000 Strange Doctrine of Sacrifice Preached by a White Man to Negroes. Converts Seemingly Crazed by an Oll Which He Pours Upon Thelr Heads. NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 15.—The negroes of Marshall County, Miss., are wrought up over a strange doctrine of sac- rifice that is being preached by Charles Sumney, assisted by two women. The three arrived in Marshall County two | weeks ago, and have since been preaching their peculiar faith. A number of negroes | became converted, afterward being bap- tized with an oil called the “oil of glad-| ness.” | Several of the negroes so baptized com- plained of severe headaches, and seemed to be insane. They were carried home. On Sunday night they danced unattired in front of a negro Methodist church. They were arrested, but, seeming to become sane, were released and went home. At about 2 o’clock the community was | aroused by an alarm of fire. Flames leaped from the house of David Herald, one of the converts. Before assistance could reach the place the house was con- sumed. The crazed man and bis wife threw their effects into the flames, even their wagon being pulled into the fire, and | they were making an effort to drive a pair | of oxen into the burning pile when neig bors rescued them. Herald and his wife | begged to be allowed to perish in the | flames, as they said God had ordered them | to die that way. They were bound and lodged in jail. | The negroes declare that these people were driven insane by oil poured on their heads by Sumney, who, they declare is a voodoo, and they peint to the fact that several negroes who received baptism have | one mad. Affidavits were made against umney and his women assistants, but | the officers found that the voodoo preacher had received warning and had ieft the country. e BULL FIGHTS RN COLORADO. There Will Be No Interference on the Part of Officers. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Aug. 15. —A great amount of interest is being manifested in the proposed bull fights which are booked to occur at Gillette on August 24, 25 and 26. There is consider- able aifference in opinion regarding any law which might be invoked to prohibit this class of sport. That there is no law specirically forbidding bull-fighting is gen- erally admittea, but the humane-disposed citizens claim that the statute relating to cruelty to animals is suincient to stop the brutal performances. J. H. Wolf, the promoter of the coming sporting tournament, assured a United Press reporter to-day that the entire pro- gramme would be carried out, the main feature of which was a regular Mexican bull fight each day, and that no court in- junction, either blanket or otherwise, could stop the fight. He says all arrange- ments have been completed, at a cost thus far of over $10,000, and that six of the most famous Mexican toreadors have been en- gaged. Wolf says that the notorious Bull “Hill erowd from Cripple Creek will brook no interference from the peace officers from this end of the county: He has wired an invitation to Richard K. Fox of New York to be present, and also extends an invitation to tgc press in general, for whom, he says, ample accommodations will be made. i Democrats of New York. NEW YORK, N.
