At midnight a crowd of citizens, heavily armed with revolvers, sledge ham- mers, crowbars and a battering ram, broke into the wholesale liquor house of “Cash” Curtis, on West Curtis street, be- tween Kansas avenue and Jackson street, | and smashed the beer casks found there.

Dr. Mitchell took the injured man to the hospftal in_a haek, and was allowed to stay and administer to_him without giving bond. The three officers, Patrolmen Downey and Boyles and Private Watchman Con- nors, claim that Adams was shot by his own crowd while he was retreating froth the place where the liquors were smashed, but Adams says that he was shot by a policeman. Officer Downey says he did not arrive at the scene of the trouble until it was about over. Officer Boyles, who carries a Colt's 4i-caliber, claims that the two shots he fired were in the air, and that he did not aim at any ome. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Charles W.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—United States | Commissioner Shields to-day directed that Benjamin D. Green and John F., Edward H. and William T. Gaynor, indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States snould be removed to the jurisdiction of the United States court in Georgla. The frauds are alleged to have occurred in connection with the Savannah harbor | improvements, which work was done un- Carter, formerly captain in _the United States army. Commissioner Shields said: “A careful examination of the evidence and the briefs establishes, in my judg- ment, that a case of probable cause has been made out, requiring defendants to be held to await 4 warrant of removal to the Southern District of Georgia, being the district in which the indictment was found. The defendants are, accordingly, held to await a warrant of removal to be issued by the United States District Judge from the Southern District of New York, | or to be othierwise dealt with according to the law.” No similar proceedings before a United States Commissioner produced such an enormous amount of evidence, Application will now be made to Judge Brown of the United States District Court by District Attorney Erwin of Georgia for | & warrant for removal to the jurisdiction of the United States courts in Georgia. This application will be opposed by coun- sel for the defendants. Captain B. Ds Green and John F. Gay- nor are now under $20,000 bail each. The defendants were indicted in Georgia December 8, 1889, in connection with the conspiracy charges against Captain Ober- lin M. Carter in the case of the United States In the matter of harbor and river improvements oh the Atlantic seaboard. Ten days later proceedings for the de- fendants’ removal were [nstituted here before Commissioner Shields. The hearing lasted Governfnent introduced no evidence. Then the defendants were held for removal, and application was made to Judge Brown for a warrant of removal. This application was refused, the refusal causing consider- able surprise. Judge Brown held that the indictment- was an ex parte document, and that its mere existence was not suf- ficient to estabiish probable cause. He therefore sent the case back to Commlis- sioner Shields. . July 6, 1990, the taking of testimony was again begun by the Commissioner.” With but few intermissions the hearing contin- ued until November last, and it was not until January 20 of this year that the counsel concluded their summing up and submitted their briefs. The testimony em- bodies over 5000 typewritten pages. ere were over a hundred witnesses examined, and there are thousands of exhibits at- tached to the records of the case. 0ld Convict Trying for Freedom.

Kinnon, who was formerly private secre- | tary to Mgr. Chapelle, and who is now pastor of the Ermita Catholic Church, in- | formed a correspondent to-day that there were more than $00 native priests in the Philippines opposed to the Federal party, and that these would refuse to adminis- ter the sacrament to Federalists, because they believed the Federal party to be merely a cloak for Protestant attempts to weaken the power of the church of Rome. He referred to the Federal party as| “Resting on an insecure foundation and | destined to crumble soon,” and asserted | that the Methedist and Presbyterian mis- sfonaries were using unfair means to in- duce Filipinos to leave the Catholic faith, He assailed the character of Senor Buen- | camino and other evangelical leaders, and | contended that only by securing the co- operation and good will of the padres | eould the Americans make permanent | progress in the Philippines.
