In the meantime bullets from other posts were flying thickly about, many of them striking the convicts. The guards who did the shooting, besides Ha:ris, were O, C. Lewis, T. Foley and W.

Jomse ANQUISHES A NASHER San Francisco Miss Astonishes New York Dude, Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Miss Estelle Wyman of San Francisco gave an ex- hibition of jiu jitsu this evening which all professors of the art, from Naga- saki to Hakodate, would have ap- plauded. Miss Wyman came to New York a fortnight ago and is stopping at the Hotel Marie Antoinette. At 7:45 o’clock to-night she was on the northwest cor- ner of Fifty-ninth street amd Madison avenue, waiting for a westbound car. From a Madison avenue ear sprang a young man in all the glory of evening attire—crush hat, opera top coat, pumps, white tie—fine! When he saw the attractive Miss Wyman he began twist a blonde mustache in the most captivating manner. He walked by her two or three times, ogling at her. He might have been in Tokio for all the attention she pald him. Finally he halted at her elbow, raised his hat and spoke to her. ‘With a combined movement, quick as lightning, Miss Wyman thrust her right arm across the blonde mustache's unmanly bosom ‘under his chin and seized his left shoulder, put her right foot across his ankles, grabbed the small of his back with her left hand and with both arms gave him a pull and a shove. Before he had time to think the young man was hurled head over heels into the middle of Fifty- ninth street. He jumped up, picked up his hat an astily trying to rub the sticky mu from his clothing, hurried down Madi- son avenue. Men waiting for the cars realized what had occurred and they told Miss Wyman they would have the blonde mustache arrested if she said so. Rocy.

This vitlates the presentment, as the canons require that at least three of the presentors must live in the diocese of the Bishop. Not only are the signatures repudi- ated, but two of the leading citizens of Huntingdon, John Langdon and James Denithrone, are decidedly opposed to having Bishop Talbot placed on trial. Much surprise. was expressed by the six men whose names figure as pre- sentors when they saw that they were published as being responsible for hav- ing Bishop Talbot threatened with trial. The signatures of the six men ‘were obtained to a harmless typewrit- ten request to Bishop Tuttle, as pre- siding Bishop of the United States, to take up the Talbot-Irvine squabble and adjust it. This was to have been a “‘sort of love feast,” as Denithrone ex- plained it tw!\fl.::t with no inti lon that Bishop was to be h - ated by having to face trial. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Consternation Special Dispatch to The Call. T filled the New ¥ork camp of the pros- ecutors of ‘Bishop Talbot when the news reached this city that five of the Huntinzdon presentors had repudiated their signatures. A conference was called and the new aspect of the affair was discussed. Dr. Irvine was called up over the long distance telephone and the conversation which ensued is said to have been of a fervid nature. Her- bert Noble, principal counsel for the presentors, has from the first opposed the giving out of names, intimating that publication might defeat the ends of justice. There has been talk of pres- sure being brought to bear upon the presentors, especially those who belong to the Pennsylvania diocese, under the direction of Bishop Talbot. IRVINE'S TRIAL IN QUINOY. QUINCY, Ill., Dec. 20.—After twenty years the contents of the verdict in the diocesan trial of 'Rev. Ingram N. W.

TWO BOWERY CHARACTERS RE OF LIFE “Happy” and “Jolly” Keep a Death Compact, Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Two home- less men, fast friends in misfortune, and known up and down the Bowery as “Happy” and “Jolly,” became tired of the struggle for existence and ‘on ‘Wednesday entered into a death com- pact. Their bodies were found to-day, side by side fn a room of the Union Hotel, on the Bowery. A six-ounce bottle of cyanide of potassium, con- taining enough poison to kill ‘an ele- phant, was grasped in the hand of ““Happy.” Letters to the public, writ- ten by each man, were found, indicat- ing an agreement to quit together. TUnder the names of George Webster and George Brown the men had been known at the Union Hotel for more than a year. Whence they came, their calling or former station in life and ‘whether the names were real or as- sumed were matters into which the Bowery never inquired. Both were fairly well dressed and were able to write letters which indicated education and culture. They were inseparable companions and one never appeared at the hotel without the other. They al- ways took a double room under the names of Webster and Brown. Cheerful in adversity, they soon be- During the battle WARDEN ARCH IPALY YELL — ACTORS AID SOUGHT BY THE FORGER New Expose of the Methods of Mrs. Chadwick, Special Dispatch to The Call ST. LOUIS, Dec. —Harry Lee, the professional impersonator, now at the Columbia Theater, says that when he was appearing at Keith's Prospect Theater in Cleveland the week before election word was brought to him after a matinee performance that “a rela- tive wished to see him at the sto=e door.™ ‘When Lee responded, Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick introduced herself and apol- ogized for calling for him under theé guise of a relative, but referred to “mutual friends.” Then she asked if he “ever impersonated persons off the stage.” On receiving a negative reply she re- ferred to a special reason for her pecu- Har rquest and sald that a few mo- ments of his time to impersonate a “millionaire’s son” who was to arrive in Cleveland the next morning by spe- clal train would be wvery profitable for him. Lee, during the conversation, had been looking Mrs. Chadwick over very carefully. He came to the conclusion that he was talking to a “crank” and sought to escape through the plea of an urgent engagement. He promised to meet her the mext day, but did not do _so. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Deec. 29.—The Plain Dealer to-morrow will print the following: “It was reliably stated last night that Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick will be re- leased on ball within a few days. At least an effort will be made in that direction. Mrs. Chadwick herself has expressed her desire to terminate her residence in the county’s bastile, and, according to her attorney, Jay P.
