DB. HORN BLOWER SHOT.
A desperate encounter
A BURGLAR IN HIS 3EOHOOM.
Mrs. Horn blow.- I’irat Tack'.os :Ue In- !
trader and Fells Him With a Chair— •
He Grapples With Her Again, But is
Bhot. by the Wounded Doctor—Four j
Other Burglars Send a Shower of i
Bullets Into the Room.
From the Neio York Sun.
Dr. Theodore R. Hornblower, one of the
best known citizens of Jersey City Heights,
woke up unexpectedly just before daybreak
yesterday morning and had a red-hot time
of it for the next few minutes, with fire
men who had broken into bus house with
the design of walking off with all the valua
bles in it, but who were compelled to change
their programme. What makes it more
interesting to the doctor's fellow-towns
people is the fact that the doctor's good
looking wife, Mrs. Julia A. Hornblower,
tackled one of the burglars and nearly cap
tured him. He is now in hiding somewhere
in Jersey City, or this city, with a 32-cali
bre bullet in his throat that Dr. Hornblower
fired at him in return for a 22-calibre ball
that he tired at the doctor. The burglar’s
bullet made a flesh wound only, just gracing
the doctor's jugular vein.
Dr. Hornblow, lives at 30 Central avenue.
Its front is a handsome pea green, with
bright red shutters. It is just around the
corner from the Docror’s spacious drug
store, 42 Hoboken avenue. Ho is a member
of the famous Hornblower family that dates
back to revolutionary days. He retired
with his wife to the front room on the top
floor oil Monday night, and his wife’s sister
and a servant retired to separate beds in an
adjoining Foo n. Tnese sleeping rooms are
reached by separate doors from the hall,
and they do not communicate with each
other. The Doctor’s lied is in a corner L of
the front room, near the front windows,and
has a bureau next to it against the wall
nearest the staircase. There are three win
dows in the room, and the Doctor just be
fore retiring, opened the bottom sash of the
one farthest from the bed.
Mrs. Hornblower, who by chance slept
uneasily, heard somebody rummaging
around” soon after 3:30 o’clock, and also
heard footsteps on the stairs. So she awoke
her husband.
“There are thieves in the house,’’ she
cried. “I hear them.”
At that instant the shadowy figure of a
short, thick-set man walked stealthily
across the room to the open window anil
raised his hand to shut down the sash. The
doctor and his wife sprang out of bed
simultaneously, and Mrs. Hornblower
screamed for help and the ]iolice. The
burglar started back as if shot. He re
treated toward the door that he had left
open behind him, and the doctor began to
grope his way to the bureau. In the top
drawer was a loaded 32-calibre five
shooter. Mrs. Hornblower moved
in the same direction and ran
against a heavy, straight-backed, cane
bottom chair. She grasped the back in
both hands, raised the chair over her head,
and without a moment's hesitation rushed
at the shadowy form of the burglar and
brought the chair down on his head with
all her strength. She is a compact, well
built woman, with grayish hair, although
only about 35 years old. The burglar went
over in a heap in a corner by the door.
Just then the window in the back room was
opened with a bang, and a female voice be-
f an to shout loudly, “Murder!” “Police!”
t was the Doctor's sister-in-law, and she
shouted so long and so steadily that she
woke up everybody except the police In the
station house around the corner. She had
heal’d the scuffle witli the burglar and had
started to run out into the hall to find out
what the matter was, but she had found
herself imprisoned in her room. Two
burglars were holding the door shut.
The burglar that Mrs. Hornblower had
felled Vecovered in a second or two. He
sprang to his feet, seized the chair, and
flung it straight at Mrs. Hornblower. It
struck her and hurt her, but, on the other
hand, she got possession of the chair. She
rushed at the burglar again, and forced him
against the wall behind Ihe door. By this
time Dr. Hornblower had got hold of his
pistol and was striding toward the burglar.
It was getting very uncomfortable for that
visitor, and, with a mighty effort he flung
Mrs. Hornblower from him, and yanked a
22-calibre revolver from his coat pocket.
‘•I ll fire if you don’t let me go,” he said.
“You dare not shoot me!” cried Mrs.
Hornblower, as she rushed in upon the bur
glar.
Instantly he raised the pistol and fired. A
bullet sped past her shoulder and struck n
toilet bottle on the bureau. The flash mo
mentarily lit up the burglar’s face, and the
Doctor and his wife saw that, ho woro q
black slouch hat and spectacles. He ap
peared to be dressed in black throughout.
Hornblower reached for the burglar’s
throat after the shot at his wife, and the
I >urglar grablied the big wooden cover of a
rowing machine that stood in tho corner
near where he had fallen, ami burled it at
Lis new assailant. It hit the Doctor on the
leg, and bruised the flesh. The pain made
the Doctor fu.vr-. and he sprang forward
to close in up- i ' a burglar, when tho lat
ter fired again, and sent a bullet straight at
him. He was only three feet from the bur
glar, and it struck his neck le.s than an
inch from the jugular vein. Tho Doctor
t hen changed his mind about grappling with
the burglar, and let a bullet drive at him
instead. It took the burglar right in the
throat He staggered and fell heavily
against the wall, against which tho blood
from the wound spurted.
“By !” he cried. “I’m shot; I’m shot.”
Thera was a rush in the hall, aud the two
burglars who had been holding the door of
the back room, darted into the doctor’s
room, grabbed their wounded confederate
by the arms, and dragged him away. Dr.
Hornblower followed them a few stejw in
the dark and tired after them, and then re
treated. VVliat made him retreat was afu
silade of shots that unexpectedly opened
from the stairway below. There were two
more burglars down there, and they fired
nine shots altogether into the doctor’s room.
“VVVIi kill you for this,” they cried.
All this time they were retreating to the
basement.
The Rev. Dr. Eokin, pastor of the Kimp
ton Methodist chur -h, on tho corner diago
nally opposite Dr. Hornblowor's, camedash
j!|g out of the parsonage, bareheaded and
barefooted, while the burglars were firing
He saw them escape ip m the busenient and
nut in different directions. Ono went
straight up Central avenue, two dashed
donn to Hoboken avenue, aud a fourth,
supporting the wounded burglar, ran along
Fleet street toward Bt. Raul’s avenue.
Hr. Hornblower, who had slipped on his
trousers, coat and shoes, followed the path
along which the wounded burglar ana his
comrade had fled. Little pools of blood
marked sjs'ts where the wounded man had
stopped through weakness. They w ere so
largo that they were visible in the light of
the street lamps. Tho pools extended all
the way to Conoord street, nearly half a
mile itwuy, nod then mysteriously ceased to
appear. The burglar must either have been
carrie<; into some house near at hand or
nave laieii driven away in a wagon. Dr.
HornhlowiT went back to the Oakland
avenue poli-je station and told the
ojogean? what had happened. An hour
afterward a roundsman came around to
the house and picked up four bullets ill tho
doctor's sleeping room. Two were of 38-
aadbrc and two woro 22-calibre. There was
another in the door of the room. Two
ethers had struck tho register ill the wall
end gono down lute the collar, and the
others had gone out of the o|hui window,
which was in lino with the staircase. Dr.
nomblower found live newspaper* npread
J M, t on the parlor carpet down-stairs, and a
Tof silverware piled on the floor, with a
music box and some bric-a-brac that the
hod prepared to p*u-lt up. All that
o-*y mi* In gelling was three a- asn
-over spoons and a pair of gold l*>ve but
tout sc; with diamond*. Bouts of the spoons
were wedding presents. The burglars had got
all this swag from tho sideboard in tho base
ments and might have got away with it all,
had not their gree 1 prompted them to send
tho burglar, who was afterward wounded,
up to tho Doctor’s room to hunt up more
valuables. It is thought the burglar went
over to shut th-’ window to prevent any out
cry being heard in case the Doctor woke up.
The Doctor found the burglar's spectacles
on the floor. They had dropped from his
nose after he was wounded aud bis compan
ions were dragging him off.
A little more than hour before the burg
lary at the Doctor's, burglars broke into the
house of Dennis Phinney at B}j Central
avenue, one of the same row, and carried off
a lot of clothing and silverware. The police
think they were the same gang that visited
the Doctor.
WALKING ON WATER.
The Promenade an Inventive French
man Took on the Schuylkill.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Alphonse King, of France, took a prome
nade upon the Schuylkill river, just below
Girard avenue bridge, yesterday afternoon,
standing upon shoes built to represent big
gold fish. He walked halfway across the
stream, and was compelled to abandon the
boots, because the baggage smashers who
handled them on their way to this city had
made them leaky, ana they would have
sunk if the walker had not climbed out of
them into a boat.
Mr. King is a genius who for some years
has studied the art of walking upon the
water. He has patented a pair of boots
that seem to fulfill his requirements. They
are made of tin, 32 inches long, 8 deep and
D wide each. The tin is fashioned into the
shape of a goldfish and painted to represent
that animal. At the bottom are a series of
little slats like those on Venetian blinds.
When the boots are propelled forward they
offer no resistance to the water, because
they close up, but on the backward stroke
they open and give a leverage power like
that of oafs. In this respect the King sys
tem seems to bo ahead of anything else. Ic
enables a man to stroll on the water’s sur
face at the rate of about two miles au hour.
OOINO LIKE A SKATER.
The water walker is a young son of Gaul,
slim, tall and adorned with a black mous
tache and a nervous temperament. He
came down to the river escorting a wagon,
in which were his various machines. A few
Park guards, a juvenile base ball club that
had been playing on the river • shore and
some wandering visitors from the Zoo
gathered to see the exhibition. King got
into the shoes, which weigh eight pounds
each, on the shore, and pushed out into the
water, followed by a boatful of newspaper
men, rowed by a Press reporter. The
walker was dressed in black clothes, silk liat
and Princo Albert coat. J list before he set
out his pretty wife buttoned on to his ankles
a pair of rubber gaiters to ka p him dry.
The walker got along weil on the river,
proceeding with a sort of a gliding motion,
something like that used by a skater.
The Pees boat followed him, paddling
easily, and when the exhibitor got half way
across he was compelled to get into the boat,
because the boots were nearly full of water.
Then Mr. King gave another exhibition
with his marine bicycle. This is a machine
consisting of two tin cylinders like those
used on life rafts. Between them is built an
apparatus like that of an ordinary bicycle,
only that paddles are attached to the wheel.
Above the saddle is a handle, which works a
rudder placed behind the seat. With this
machine Mr. King went along so fast that
the Press boat could no more than keep up
with him.
This remarkable gentleman, who is called
a “Mortal Marvel,” once walked 300 feet on
the Niagara river for a wager. During the
feat he turned upside doifn, and was res
cued with difficulty. He has taken strolls
on New York Bay, the Mississippi at Baton
Rouge, the Ohio at Cincinnati, Lake Supe
rior, Rome City Lake, Dell Lake, Sail Fran
cisco to Oakland, the Rhine, Seine, Thames
and Mediterranean. On all of these he Has
found the walking good. In one of his cir
culars he holds forth the hope that Cam
donit es will one day cross the Delaware
without reference to the ferries.
Robert Barclay, of the New York Stock
Exchange, has bet King SI,OOO that he can
not walk from Be lloe’s Island, on which the
Statue of Liberty stands gesticulating, to
Brooklyn anchorage of the East river
bridge. The distance is three and a quarter
miles, and the wager will be walked off
within a month.
GEORGE SAND’S NEPHEW.
Lew Vanderpoole Charged With Ob
taining Money Falsely.
From the .Yew York Tribune.
Lew Vanderpoole, a newspaper writer,
was arrested yesterday at his home in Oys
ter Bay, Long Island, on the charge of ob
taining money under false pretenses. The
complainants are Frank P. Smith, editor of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, and Mr.
Schlicht, of the Sehlieht-Fiold Company,
who obtained the warrant from Justice
Kipp. In reference to the case Mr. Smith
said:
“About a month ago Vanderpoole repre
sented to me that he was eo-exycutor with
Victor L’ Ainereaux, of “The Paris Figaro''
of tho unfinished manuscript of George
Sand, the famous novelist. He also claimed
that he was a nephew of the authoress. He
offered to sell me an unpublished story of
George S ind entitled ‘Princess Nourmahal,’
which was one of 127 stories that he had to
dispose of. ‘Lippiiicott’s Magazine,' he
said, had offered him SI,OOO for the story,
but would not take it until January and he
wanted me to take it and advance him
SI,OOO as lie needed that amount to pay a
note with. After consulting with Mr.
Schlicht, I asked Vanderpoole to bring mo
proof of the genuineness of the manuscript,
and ho gave me a letter signed by James
Iled|>ath in which the writer stated that he
had been assured by Victor L’Ainereaux of
“The Figaro," that the manuscript in Van
derpoole s possession was genuine, aud ex
pressing great confidence in Vanderpoole.
“I then made a contract with Vander
poole for tho story, agreeing to give him
SI,OOO for it in installments. On Sept. Ihe
brought in about 20,000 word* of the story
and I paid him SIOO on account. The story
is a fine one, and shows remarkable literary
ability. I became suspicious, however, that
the matter was really not Sand’s by seeing
an article in the Albany Argos denouncing
his claim to the authorship of •Ruhainah,’ a
novel written by the Rev. Thomas B.
Hughes and published bv Harper Bros. I
then telegraphed to the Figaro and found
out that Vanderpoole had never tieen, ns he
said, war correspondent for that paper.
James Red path was next seen, and be said
that he did not know Geofge Sand’s hand
writing, but Allen Thorndike Rice, to whom
it had bcou submitted, said that it was
hers.
“Vanderpoole called at my office on Sat
urday last and si confronted him with tho
evidence and asked him to let me see tho
manuscript of ‘Princess Nourmahal.’ He
said that it was locked up in an iron safe at
his homo, and that he was going to Albany.
■ Mr. Schlicht and I went to Oyster Bay yes
terday and found him at his home. He re
fused to lot us enter the house, and said that
the manuscript was in New York. We then
went to Justice Kipp and ho was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Griffiiig. On the way to
the lock-up Vandorpoolo eon famed that he
did not liavo the manuscript, but ho hail
read the story uml liad such a good memory
that he rewrote it.”
Vand-rpoole is married, but doe* not live
with his Wife He to S3 years of age and
has had considerable liewspajier ex-ierienec.

SCI.NDA’S SCEPTRE.
HOW SHE SWAYS IT OVER MISSIS
SIPPI NEGROES.
A Woman Who Claims Divine Inspira
tion and Exercises Great Power
Over the Ignorant -She Rigidly En
forces Honesty and the Prompt Pay
ment of Debts.
Grenada (Miss.) Cor. ft. O. Picayune.
Grenada county furnishes anew theoc
racy, which is interesting. Along after the
war a negro woman named Scinda, who
was a slave of Capt. Mitchell, a farmer of
this county, suddenly revealed it to the
world that she had been inspired by God,
and was a servant of His to direct His
people, both black and white. She organ
ized a band of exhorters, aud went from
farm to farm, pleading with both colors to
quit their meanness. Her band grew, and
now it numbers something like 800 members
of her color.
In company with some friends I drove
out to her church, which is situated three
miles from here, Sunday evening. Long be
fore we reached the church we could hear
the picking of the banjo and the shutti.ng of
feet. Alighting, Scinda, arrayed in gor
geous red and yellow, came to the door to
greet us and welcome us in. The church is
a small structure made of pine logs. Around
on the walls hang her paraphernalia used in
her marches through the country. In tho
centre of the room stood a little table cov
ered with a red cloth of grotesque figures of
white sewed on it. This is where the mem
bers speak.
When we arrived a “soldier” was telling
his inspirations of the day. He consumed
about ten minutes, then they danced and
sung, and played the banjo and shouted.
When dancing begins they all stand up, ami
as many as can join hands until a circle is
formed. They march around and around,
singing their own chants, occasionally stop
ping, and each one goes through a “shuffle”
to the music of a banjo. This performance
lasts about ten minutes, then another
preaches, then a dnnee, and so on until a
few minutes before they break up for the
day. Then every voice is hushed and a still
ness pervades the house.
Rising slowly and deliberately from her
seat, Scinda, tne priestess < f this new, orgi
nal and strange religion, proceeds to the ap
pointed stand. Every one watches her with
wide-eyed wonder and is eager to catch
every syllable of her utterance. Her ser
mons are
SHORT AND TO THE POINT.
She claims that every word escaping her
lips is from God. Hfcr sayings are original
and some of them not devoid of good sense.
In her sermon Sunday, among other tilings,
she said: “Some of you darkies are like a
hoecake cooked only on one side. You come
to church, and Oh, nothing is too good for
you to do. You sing ami pray, and dance
and shout, until one would think
you are ready for heaven. Mon
day comes, 'you show the raw
side. You are with the world; you
steal, yon lie and do everything that is
wrong. That is not the kind of religion wo
want. We want the hoecake cooked through
and through; when you break it in the
middle let it lie brown as it is on the bot
tom.” Speaking of law, she said no law
could be made too stringent for her. She
wanted every violation of God’s will pun
ishable on earth as weil as in the world to
come. “The Judges of our courts,” she
said, “ought to be baptized in the grace of
God; the Bible says that lawyers ought to
be good and honest, and prosecuting attor
neys ought to be chockfull of religion.”
She insists on personul cleanliness, ami in
this she is not far from godliness. She rig
idly enforces
HONESTY AND THE PROMPT PAYMENT OF
DEBTS.
When a member of her band is convicted
of doing any deed of dishonesty they are
immediately expelled from her hand.
Scinda’s power over the temporal affairs of
her membership is absolute. Her law is
their law, and to incur the enmity of their
shepherdess is to displease God.
She plays a powerful part in the political
affairs of "Grenada county and the surround
ing country. No [Kilitician dares to oppose
her, and about election time she is the re
cipient of mole adulation, and homage than
her white exponents of the Scriptures.
She holds the balance of tl-e power, and
when a candidate has her promise of support
he is safe. Her band probably polls 300
votes and every one of them votes as she
directs. They dare not disobey the ten
thousandth part of her simplest behest. It
means, if they do, that Scinda's band will
dance them iiito the bottomless pit of hell.
She believes that a person is punished as he
behaves himself on earth; that the more he
sins the worse his punishment. This is in
conflict with the teachings of other churches,
■who believe the smallest sin is punished by
torture as great as tile largest.
She regards virtue as the highest law of
God, and it is said that none of the baud in
dulge in any licentiousness.
Her teachings, with all their peculiar
modes of worship, is good. She is
JUST IN ALL THINGS,
and her word is good, for anything. The
whites and blacks respect her. She preaches
every Sunday at her little church and oc
casionally makes a trip through the coun
try. Her meetings are operns! by _ music
and dancing for some time. They usually
commence by 8 o’clo *k and last all day. At
the close there is considerable ceremony. It
is marked by a procession, single file, each
one carrying a symbol marked by design,
moving under the music of the fiddle and
banjo. After rounds of inarchings they
assemble In solemn awe around their priest
ess, Scinda, whose presence indicates she
stands on
THE OUTER CIRCLE OK DIVINITY.
Here, after singing their peculiar re
quiems they disperse one by one. Occas
ionally one is overcome by clear
visions of future happiness and demon
strations, followed by hallelujahs and danc
ing.
Scinda is a small woman, with plainly
marked features of African and Caucasian
intermixed. Ignorant and uneducated, she
has the confidence of a class of |x ople who
arc marked by their good behavior, tho
payment of their dobts and their love for
Scinda and her doctrines.
nor her bund is not a subject of deris
ion. They are subject* for thought. In
this enlightened age, closely surrounded by
churches, this woman has built up an influ
ence that is powerful and continues to
grow. She firmly declares that God has
told her the world would come to a close
this year. This statement only caffie from
her a few days ago, and the colored jieopln
are exercised over her message from God
as they were never before.
