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.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1887. 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. Jambs S.
