Preparing for the Revival —Churches
that are Provided with Bank Preai
denta.
Charleston, 8. C., March B.—Tbe
Ministers of Charleston are working up
the coming Moody and Sankev revival
with great energy and spirit. The evan
gelists are expected to be here the latter
part of tbis week for an engagement of
about one week. It Is rumored that they
will be paid SI,OOO each for tbe week’s
work, and that some of tbe wealthy men
of the city who are closely allied to the
churches will furnish the money, but this
is only rumor, and is scarcely worthy
of credence. Although several of
the churches have individual mem
bers who could put up thousands and
sot miss them. Trinity MetbodistChurch
has a bank president millionaire as a
Stewart. Bethel Methodist has two of tbe
richest merchants in the South on its
membership roll. The English Lutheran,
tbe German Lutheran, the Kp scnnaliau,
tbe Presbyterian and the Hebrew
churches all have bank pres dents, and
tbe Catholic Church is similarly pro
vided, and all oi them are active mem
ber*. The ministers of most of the
Protestant churches have, however, ef
fected an organization and will
manage the revival. Tbe ser
vices will be held in Agricultural
ball, which has a capacity of seating
about 6,000 persons, and admission will
be regulated by tickets which will bo
given out by tbe various pastors, each
pastor being allotted a certain number of
tickets. Tbe Baptist revival, which is
be ng conducted by the Rev. Lansing
Burrows, ol Augusta, is still in progress,
having been prolonged for one week ion
ger. It ia thought that the community in
Cbarleatoti is rips (or a great religious re
l>al. and the Moody and Banker event
will probably create a tremendous sensa
tion.
CATHOLIC CHURCH PROJECTS.
In Catholic circles public interest, out
side of the usual lenten service*, is cen
tered on two very important church en
terprises which are in progress at ttie
same time, viz: the rebuilding or the
Cathedral of Bt. Kliihar’s. which was de
itroyed in tbe great fire of inh, ami ;b,.
building of anew efiillee for the parish oi
Bt. I’atrick’s, one of the most populous
panh< * in the diooee. The cathedral
fund now In hand amounts to about fun,.
000, most of which was bequeathed to tbe
yestry oy tbe late John McKeevan (or tbe
purpose of rebuilding ttiechuicb. The
new cathedral will be built of brown
•tone on the lines of the old
edifice, and is expected to coat
sb ut SIOO,OOO or more. The
•rebitect with the plans is looked for
dally, and in tbe im antime tbe work of
clearing away the ruins of the old edifice
1* well under way. The new Bt. I’ulnck’a
Is being constructed under the direction
of Mgr. D. J. Quigley, tbe rector of tbe
parish. It is to lie built of pressed brick
and granite and will cost about SOO,OOO.
Tna corner-stone will be laid on Bt. i’*t
rlck’s day.
Many ol tbe principal churches in the
city were badly damaged by tbe oyclono
last August. These were old Bt. Mi
chael's. the Citadel Squat* Baptist. Bt.
* Matthew’s German Lutheran, and the
; Unitarian Church, all of which lost por
-1 t.onsoi iheir steepies or spires. Only
l two of tin s. nav. been restored, the Lni

CHARLESTON’!* gkkkk colony.
! Of late years the Greek colony in Ohar
[ leston has increased verv rapidly until it
now numbers several hundred, most of
whom are engaged in the fruit business.
| ( apt. Thomas Neos ( Auglice Young), tbe
well known and wealthy stevedore, who
by tne by leases nearly ail the wharves
on the water front, is credited with being
the originator ot a plan to purchase the
old Mariner’s churon, one of the land
marks of Charleston, and organizing a
congregation of Greeks. It is said that
Capt. Neos has offered to purchase the
building, and send out to the east for a
priest if tbe congregation will undertake
to support a clergyman.
Tbe Hebrews of Cnarleston are also
growing, there being now three separate
congregations. Tne one in Uasel street
represents the reformed failb; one in bt.
Phillip etreet the orthodox, and one in
King street, tbe extreme orthodox, or faith
of Abraham. At this latter synagogue,
which is called "Perfect Faith,” services
are conducted every morning and evening
in tbe year.

A DETROIT SENS ATION.
How a Clergyman Lost Hi* Church But
Won the Widow.
Detroit, Mich., March B.—A sensa
tion was caused in the social circles of
this city to-day, by tbe announcement in
the papers ot tbe marriage of Mrs. C. R.
Mabley, widow of the noted western cloth
ing merchant, to the Rev. W.J. Spain*,
lately in charge of St. Joseph's cnapel, on
Meiitmry avenue. Mr. Speirs is a man
aiioui 30 years old. He came to Detroit
from St. Lou s a year and a halt ago. and
bv Bishop Harris was assigned to the
Medbury avenue chapel, that beiug his
first charge. He is ot English descent,
and tbe tact is always apparent iu bis
speech. He was very popular with tbe
small but exclusive congregation which
worshiped at the little church, aud stood
high in the favor of tin- young ladies.
He was also a great devotee ot case ball
last summer, and drove a lively slepper
on tbe avenue during the sleighing sea
son. Until leoently it had been privately
gossiped about that he was engaged to
tbe young daughter of a prominent resi
dent of Woodward avenue. A few weeks
ago be gave up tbe ministry, telling his
friends 'hat be could not accept some of
the leading doctrines ot the church. He
also gave out that be was going to New
York to attend to business that demanded
bis attention, which seems to have been
the fact, as the parties were married three
weeks ago In New York. Mrs. Mabley,
who has been a widow less than a year,
is very wealthy and has a tine house on
Woodward avenue. She has six children
living and has buried seven others, almost
all in their Infancy. One of ber daugh
ters Is married. It is given out here that
the newly wedded pair will take a Euro

about 4:30. Bail, v left tbe woman In tbe
parh r of tbe McCawley Hotel and pro
ceeded at once to the Couutv Clerk's
office for a license. During b s absence
the Paducah ferry boat quietly landed at
thewharl without blowing a whistle or
ringing a bell, and tbe portly form of Mr.
Scott marched up the levee and asked the
landlord if a young woman bad arrived
that afternoon. She bad.
The father was ushered into the parlor.
Tbe toiliiwing dialogue ensued:
“Howdv, Annief”
“Howdy, paP’
“I've caught you.”
“Ye*, 1 believe you have.’*
“Come back to Paducah.”
“Well, wait till I see Monte.”
“Don’t you know it won’t do for me to

river when Monts returned, lie asked
tbe landlord where Miss Scott was. “She

Damage to the Steamer L > dln Moo
arch —A Train or Five Mila Cars tn
tlrely Consumed Extensive Sheds
Burned.
Jersey City, March B.—Fire broke out
at Long dock about 2:20 o’clock this
morning among a quantity of jute stored
upon the pier of the Monarch Steamship
Company. It is thought to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion. Tbe
flumes were discovered by Nathaniel Fal
lick. engaged in arranging the electric
lights on the pier. Fallick summoned
three watchmen on the pier and they
tried to extinguish the blaze. Finding it
beyond their control, an alarm was sent
out, quickly followed by a second alarm
and a gen rai call, bringing the entira
city tire department to the scene. The
ferryboat Susquehanna was lying in one
of tn>* slips with eteem up, aud the deck
hands got out a line of hose and did good
work.
FIKK BOATS RESPOND.
The Erie company’s tire boats Don Juan,
Van Houten, and Buffalo; the Pennsylva
nia railroad’s steam tugs Parsiiuoua,
America, Uncle Abe, and Y oung Aiuer,
lea, and the Central railroad’s tug Ba
yone also responded to the alarm, and
soon had streams upon the tire. Tbe twd
steamships Egyptian Monarch ami Lyd.
inn Monarch were lying alongside the
company’s pier. The Egyptian Monarch
was nearly loaded and was to have sailed
for London to-day. she was towed into
midstream alter being HligbUy scorched
about tbe bows. Tbe Lydian Monarch
was not so lonunate. The flames de
stroyed her rigging, three lifeboats, and
the greater portion of the woodwork on
her main deck.
THE SHED DESTROYED.
The large shed was totally destroyed
with a large quantity of jute, tobacco,
woolen goods and other European freight.
Tne terry bouses and tbe Erie railway
passenger depot were not damaged, ai
though at tunes in great danger. 'The
tire spread from the burning sin and on the
dock to the building used for the collec
tion of milk freights. The nulk depot
adjoining consisted of a long, open shed.
Two trains ot cars loaded with raiik stood
beside it. One train was saved intact.
The other, consisting ot five cars, was de
stroyed.
The loss cannot be ascertained definite
ly, owing lo the destruction of the steam
ship company’s hooks and papers.
The damage to the Lydian Monarch Is
estimated at $20,000.
The loss on tne wharf and shed is $70,000.
Rough estimates on the quantity of
freight lost bring the aggregate up to
about $300,000, but it may exceed that
sum.
A MEXICAN MYSTERY.
A Plot tor* Dime Novel on the Mexican
Border.
Laredo, Tex., March 5.—A few dayß
ago a Cuban lady, giving ber name as
Dona Juana Guzman, passed through this
city from Mexico en route to Rio Grande
City, saying she was going to see her
brother, Souor Jose Guzman, a gentleman
connected with the Mexican custom
house at Mier, Mexico. She appeared to
be very uneasy, aud to a New Orleans
drummer whom she met on the train she
directed many interrogatories regarding
tbe country and people in the neighbor
hood ot ber destination.
On Monday last she boarded the stage
at l’era. Tex. The stage bad not pro
ceeded lar when they met the incoming
stage from Rio Grande City. Among the
passengers in Ihe incoming stage was
JoseGuzuian, who Dona Juana wasquick
to recognize. She at once drew her pis
tol ami commanded tbe drivers to halt,
which they did. The pretended brother
and sister alighted Irom tneir carriages,
and a stirring scene followed, in which
hot words and pistol shots were ex
changed.
In the stage in which Guzman was a
passenger was also his newly wedded
bride. The latter, seeing tbe sudden
change matters had taken, became alarm
ed and suspicious. In tbe meantime the
Cuban lady’s wrath cooled down and a
compromise was effected between the bel
ligerents, she concluding to join the wed
ding party and return to Pera being in
troduced to the bride as a sister-in-law,
after which all parties Were apparently
satisfied. The trio arrived here last night,
and to-day departed for the City of Mexi
co.
Guzman claims that tbe lady, Dona
Juana Guzman, is his sister; that they
are originally from Cuba, where they in
habited a large estate. They being the
only surviving heirs, agreed between
themselves that neither should wed while
liot h lived, and that after the death of one
the other should claim the entire proper
ty. Mr. Guzman having grown tired of
s’ing'e lile, and meeting with the object ot
bis affection, married, and thus broke tbe
agreement, henee tbe difficulty with bis
sister.
While Guzinan tells such a plausible
story, it is reported that tbe woman in
question ia bis mistress and not his sister.
She having heard of the intended marri
age, posted off expecting to arrive in time
to frustrate the scheme. Guzman is
thought to baa wealthy Cuban refugee.
The duped bride is the daughter of au old
and respected Mexican tainily living at
Camargo, Max. She ia young and hand
some, and havine never been out in the
world, knows nothing of its wicked ways.
A great deal of sympathy is manifested
in ber twbalt, and it is fully suspected
she will be left out in tbe cold.
The parents of the unmrtunate girl are
in total ignorance of tne affair as yet.
Guzinan has been in the service of tbe
Mexican government us chief guard at
Mier, Mex., and moved iu good aoclety
there. He endeavored to have tbe mar
riage ceremony there, hut as the Mexico
laws require that tbe contracting parties
produce necessary ceriificaies as to qual
ifications, etc., tbe Senor could not well
comply and bad the ceremony performed
informally at Rio Grande City. Frietvqs
of the bride’s parents in tbis city who are
well connected are greatly incenaed over
the outrage and are communicating with
the proper parties with a view of giving
chase to the culprit and securing tae
bride.
SENSATIONAL SCENE IN COUIIT.
An Alleged Forger Acquitted—He Faint*
Where Hl* Father Hied.
From the AGw York IKorW.
Montreal, March 6.—Tbe jttrvin the
case of John 8. Dyde, charged with
ing and uttering 72 promi*ory notes each
ranging from $124 to S3OO, returned a vyn
diet this morning of not guilty, when
tbe jury announced their verdict tbo ittiijj
body ol spectators eroke out Into ehqurp,
Auer order had been restored by I lie oriiify,
the Judge turned to that part ol tbs 01 uf
room Irom whence the applause was moro
pronounced, emphatically exclaiming!
“This is tbe most disgraceful demonstra
tion I ever heaid in a court of justice and
io tbe fuce of a verdict so notoriously In
contradiction lo tbo evidence as to shake
the very foundations of society, and still
vou applaud. It is simply disgraceful.”
It is thought that thutactol the accused’s
father having died in the witness box
while giving testimony for the prisoner
yesterday, contributed to the result. Hail
on the remaining charge was fixed at
$15,000.
Pale and evidently suffering the keenest
menial agony Mr. Dyde came forward to
the tabis to give bail. His eyes were
filled with tears, his face was livid, and
his step unsteady and tottering. When
he reached tbe" advocates' table he
port bims"!t. He was then Inforniea by
the clerk tbat he was free to depart. He
attempted to do so, but had barely pro.
c-itdeu as far as the witness-box, op tha
extict epoi where his father expired', yae
terday, when he fell fainting to the
ground. Friendly arms removed him to
the corridor from whence, at the invita
tion of Justice Monk, be was removad to
tag Juitge's private room. Hare restora
tives were administered and in a short
time he was removed to his residence.

Mrs, Wells on the Injutice and Bad .Ef
fect or the Edmunds Law.
From the Xew York t 7 or aid .
Cleveland, 0., March 3.—Mrs. Erne
line Wells, of Salt Lake City, who Is the
most gifted and prominent defender of
polygamy and Mormon ism in Utah, ar
rived at the Hollander yesterday ahd paid
a visit to tbo old Mormon temple at Ktrt
laiul. She is one of the lour wives of
Daniel Wells, the leader of the Dpoites,
ivno was the counsellor ol Britain
Young, and who is at present in Europe
to evade airest. He has iierformed more
PWygareona marriages than anrm* in
the world, having for many years been
Justice of the Peace and Mayor in Salt
Lake. Mrs. Wells denies that the Dan
ins were bloodthirsty murderers, but
says that in view of the cruel manner in
which Joseph Smith was murdered it
would not have been strange it they bad
formed plans for vengeance. Mrs. Weils
nits been ia Washington to work against
the Edmunds polygamy bill, which has
passed the Senate and is now before the
Committee on Judiciary of the House.
a great injustice.
She said the law would be a great in
justice. “It would establish a dangerous
precedent in the confiscation ol our church
property created by our own honest labor,
it the govern men thus the right locontiscate
our property it has the power to take the
church property of Catholics or Protest
ants. The ory ol tuu anti-polygamists is
that they are opposed to polygamy, but
tbat is mere pretence. They want to get
control of the Teiritory and its profitable
local offices, which are new iu the hands
of Mormons. The present anti-polygamy
law is unjust, and despite President
Cleveland's promise that, it should be im
partially administered, it. is not fairly ad
ministered. I and mv husband are dis
franchised by it, because we have prac
ticed and countenanced plural marriages
from pure religious motives, while any
wanton woman or dissolute man in the
Territory who has not practiced plural
marriages has tbe right ot suffrage.
EFFECT ON PROPERTY.
“The law has already had a depressing
effect on our once prosperous Territory.
Rut the injustice tbat we have suffered
and the greater in justice threatened has
set those who have been apathetic in re
gard to Morniouism and polygamy to in
vestigation, and the passu.e ofTbe threat
ened law, instead of eradicating our
Church, would scatter it more widely
and in the end make it more powerful.
Tbe stories that Kate Field tells give a
false impression of Mormondoio. Not
nearly all of them practice polygamy,
and among those woo do few have more
than three wives. Y’es, 1 believe in plu
ral marriages. I will not say tbat it is
entirely unattended with unpleasantness
so far as love is concerned. I do not be
lieve tbat the love of a husband can be
divided.”
An Unu.ual Offer.
A pair of dollar Kid Gloves or two pairs
of Silk Mitts will be presented to every
purchaser of $5 worth of goods at David
Weisbein’a. This oiler is a liberal one,
especially when one reads his new “ad.”
