HARLAN COUNTY'S FEUD.
THE HOWARD AND TURNER FAC
TIONS AGAIN AT WAR.
Two of the Rival Leaders Open Fire
on Each Other on Sight —The Fusil
lade Only Ended Because One
Dropped as Though Dead More
Trouble Now Certain.
Chicago, Oct 23.—A dispatch from
Louisville, Ky.. regarding the reported
tieging of Judge Lewis and party iu the
Harlan court house by Howard aud his
followers, says: “It had been hoped that
the trouble was at an end, but an event
-which occurred Saturday afternoon has
precipitated a renewal of the war. John
Howard, the 19-year-old brother of Wilson
Howard, was in town, wbero the father of
the Howard brothers lives. Finlay 3mith,
son of Wash Smith, one of ttie wealthiest
men in Harlan county, and who is spoken
of as one ot the best citizens, was also in
town. John Howard was walking along
the street and Smith was in the door of the
Cumberland house.
bach firkd on sight.
‘‘When they saw each o'her Howard
pulled bis pistol and young Smith seized a
Winchester rifle which was near him, and
both bogau to shoot. None of the bullets
were buried into the targets they were in
tended for, but it was thought at first that
Howard was killed. Smith’s bullet grazed
his temple, and the shock knocked him
down. While he lay there Smith left, as
did Howard a few minutes later. The
familiar sound of the revolver and rifle told
the people that trouble had come again.
This shooting occurred about 5 o’clock Sat
urday afternoon. John Howard left town,
and when the news reached Wilson Howard,
within an hour or two, that his brother had
come near being killed by a member of the
law aud order party, ho' vowed vengeance.
WILSON’S THREAT.
“News was br> iught into Harlan, Sunday,
that Wilson said he intended to wipe out all
opposition to him and his methods at one
stroke. This seemed to be verified when
word wns received from several directions
that Wilson Howard’s followers were arm
ing the i,selves. Later, a reliable messen
ger of the law and order party brought
intelligence that the outlaw had sent word
to all his men to come well armed to a ren
dezvous a few miles from the county seat.
Wilson is implicitly obeyed by his followers,
and the messenger said a large crowd was
gathering at his summons. An attack was
expected at any time when the gentleman
left. Harlan Court House, the seat of
justice of Harlan county, which is now
converted into a citadel by the law and
order party, is thirty-five miles from Pine
viUe, which is the nearest railroad point.”
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 23. News has
Just been received here of nn engagement
between the Howard and Turner facti ns
near Harlan Court House. The fight took
place yesterday, and James Dean of the
Howard party was killed and five others
rounded. Three of the Turner crowd were
wounded.
A staff correspondent of the Times, who
weut to Pinoville last night, wires that
paper from the scene of the battle of yes
terday morning as follows: “Wilson
Howard, and oue of his principal hench
men named Jennings are among the
wounded, and it is said that Howard’s in
juries are probably fatal. The Turners
have been in possession of the town for more
than a week. Their leader is John Turner,
just 17 years of age. The Howard forces
have been in camp one mile from the town.
There nre about forty men in each crowd,
all equipped with Winchesters and re
volvers. Yesterday morning Turner led
his followers in an attack on the Howard
camp.
AN ATTACK AND A REPULSE.
"The attacking party got iu the first
work, but were finally driven back to the
t'wn. A report reached Pinevilie at 11
o’clock this morning that the Howard
forces in Harlan, enraged by tae battle of
yesterday, and the probably fatal wound
ing of their leader, left their camp last
night and started for Harlan Court House,
intending to kill everybody that belonged
to the opposition and burn the town. G.
C. Huff, clerk of Harlan couuty court at
Pinevilie, is afraid to go home, though he
has no connection whatever with the
trouble.”
TURNER CUT OFF.
Louisville, Ky., Oct 23, 11 p. m.—The
latest from Harlan Court House states that
Wilson Howard had cut off Lewis : urner

to quiet the county. He says on account of
tbe wide extent of the feud he caunot find

CHURCH RIOT OF THE POLES.
The Parsonage at Plymouth Turned
Into an Arsenal.
W ilesbarre, Pa., Oct. 23.—The excite
ment to-day at Plymouth over the church
riot continues at fever heat. All last night
crowds were gathered in the vicinity of the
disputed buildings. At a late hour Detect
ives Holland and Roberts, armed with legal
writs, applied at the parsonage for admit
tance. Their request was refused with
threats of violence if they attempted forci
ble entry. This morning the parties in the
building signaled to them, aud on drawing
near the detectives were told that they
might enter. They were escorted through
the building, and were shown a perfect
arsenal of gun3 and pistols in the bands of
six desperate looking Polanders. The
officers were then taken to the door, and in
formed that the besieged party meant to
hold possession at all hazards.
NO ATTEMPT TO ENTER.
The detectives were convinced that they
could get forcible possession only by blood
shed and possible loss at life. They there
fore gave up the attempt for the present,
and are contenting themselves with keep
ing a watch upon the premises. The
Polanders arrested for taking part iu yester
day’s fracas were given a hearing to-day
before Burges9 Martin, on a charge of
assaulting a police officer iu the discharge
of his duty. Martin Wilkes, the leader,
was fined S2B, and three others were fined
$lO each. M rtin Wilkes was re-arrested
and held in SI,OOO bail on a charge of
assault on the assistant chief of police with
intent to kill. To-morrow morning the
high sheriff of this county, who has been
called upon, will go to the scene of the
trouble with a picked posse of men and
endeavor to gain possession of the buildings
in dispute.

A HERO FROM THE FARM.
Hie Life Given to Save a Woman in a
Railroad Wreck.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 23.— Vandyke
Heyser, an 18-year-old boy, who was in
jured in the wreck at Nolin, fifty-three
miles below here, on the Louisville aud
Nashville railroad, yesterday morning,
died in the afternoon. Heyser was a farmer
boy, and was coming to Louisville to get
work. When the mail train appeared, and
all began to flee, Heyser ran toward the
coach door. He was almost out on the
platform, aud in a second more would have
been safe, when a frightened woman reached
his side, nearly fainting with terror. She
would nave fallen had not Heyser seen her
condition aud nobly came to her rescue.
SAVED HER LIFE.
Supporting her with one arm, he stepped
to one side and assisted her to pass him,
gently forcing her out to the platform. Be
fore he could foil iw her too mail train
crashed into the accommodation. The
heroic boy was caught in the shattered
ruins and fatally injured. A few moments
later he was dragged out from the dust and
smoke of the wrecked coach, torn and
lacerated by splinters, and his body about
the hips so'badly crushed that there was
never a doubt but that his death was only a
few hours off.

Railroad Hands Checked By Troops
£ at Kingfisher.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 23.—A special
to the Star from Wichita says: The people
of Kingfisher, 1.. TANARUS., are greatly excited and
the town is crowded with an unruly mob of
railroad hands driven there by the United
States troops. The survey of the Rock
Island railroad being made to Ft. Reno
crosses the dividing line between Oklahoma
City and the Indian reservation, seven
miles south of Kingfisher. A large gang
of men has been grading and laying the
track, and yesterday the west line of Okla
homa was reached. There the United
S ates troops were congregated to prevent
further progress. The railroaders proposed
continuiug the course of the railroad, and
only after some personal conflicts were
driven back at the point of the bayonet.”

OUR SHIPS TO SHOW OFF.
ON COMINO FROM EUROPE THEY
MAY OO TO SOUTH AMERIOA.
Their Trip in the Latter Direction
Expected to Add Increased Weight
to the Beneficial Effects of.the Pan-
American Congress—The Vessels In
the Squadron.
Washington, Oct. 23.— There has been
some agitation for a day or two past of a
proposition to send the new ships forming
the squadron under the command of Acting
Rear Admiral Walker to South America
instead of Europe. The argument in favor
of this scheme is that the visit of the ships
to Central and South American ports will
materially aid in securing the results hoped
for from the meeting of the international
American congress, by making a good in
pression upon the people of those countries,
while uo substantial benefits will be reaped
from a trip to Europe.
WHAT MAY BE DONE.
It is not probable that any change in the
programme so far as it has been announced
will be niaae, but there will beau addition
that may satisfy the advocates of the South
American voyage. The Chicago, Boston,
Atlanta and Yorktown will san for Europe
about Nov. 10, and after a trip through
the Mediterranean sea and visiting
all the European capitals which can be
reached by water, will return to the United
States in the spring and then make a trip
in South American and Central American
waters. This has not been officially an
nounced, but the statement is made upon
excellent authority.
WILL BE A LARGER FLEET.
When the squadron shall visit our Ameri
can neighbors on the south it will be in
creased by the presence of the Baltimore,
Petrel and Vesuvius, which will then be in
a condition to sail. As confirmation of the
truth of this story it may be stated that the
men on the Chicago are enlisted for six
months only, so that she will be compelled
to return or re-enlist her crews abroad.
THE DELEGATES AT MILWAUKEE.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 23.—The All-
American travelers this morning left Chi
cago at 8 o’clock, under the attentive care
of Capt. Burke of the army. This was
because of the fact that Special Agent
William FI Curtis remained Dehiud, under
the advice of Dr. Yarrow, U. S. A. Mr.
Curtis is obliged to take a rest, lus anxiety
for the success of the trip and activity
in attaining it having caused nervous
exhaustion. He expects, however, to re
sume his duties to-morrow. The run to
this city was uneventful, save for the
boarding of the train at the We>tern Union
junc.ion by the Milwaukee reception com
mittee, bearing tiny bottles of Milwaukee
lager as souvenirs, and also handsome
pamphlets illustrating Mil waukee. The
at. Paul railroad, on which the run was
made, also distributed elegant souvenirs.
Upon the arrival at Milwaukee, carriages
carried tbe party through the residence
sections to the art gallery, water-works,
breweries, and to the hotel at 1:30 o’clock,
where a lunch was had.
THE SPEECH OF WELCOME.
Mayor T. H, Brown, at the conclusion of
the luncheon, welcomed the visitors, saying
that 'all the citizens of the city were
thorough American citizens iu the sense of
desiring a thorough union of all the
Americas. A drive about the city was re
sumed after lunch, the chief feature of in
terest being the national soldiers’ home
on the outskirts. After a hotel
dinner the party in the evening
attended a reception at the home of John
L. Mitchell. Anew diversion was there
offered. A canvas tent of good size, con
nected by a covered way with the house,
was pitched on the lawn, and there the
visitors danced until late iu the evening,
when they were driven to their train, which
started at midnight for St. PauL
THE ROUTE CHANGED.
St. Paul, Minn.. Oct. 23.—The pan-
American route has been changed slightly
so as to allow a visit to Kansas
City. From the twin cities the special goes
to Omaha according to announcement, and
from there to St. Louis, where a stop of
only one day is to be made, instead of two
as heretofore announced, The trip is to be
made across the state to Kansas City, and
thence to Springfield, 111., and east as an
nounced.
NEXT YEAR’S NAVAL BUDGET,
An Increase of $3,000,000 Over Last
Year's Sum to be Asked.
Washington, Oct. 23. —Secretary Tracy
to-day concluded the work on the estimates
for the naval establishment for the year
1893-91, and they will go to the Secretary of
tbe Treasury os soon a* a copy of them'can
be made. The appropriations for the
naval establishment for the year
1889-90 were in round numbers
$22,450,000. This includes several millions
for the construction of new vessels now
under way or projected. It is understood
that the estimates as finally passed by Sec
retary Tracy show au increase of about
$3,000,000 over those of the last year, chiefly
for work on vessels and improvements, and
additions to the navy yards. The estimates
for the office expenses are understood to be
reduced.

Two of Tanner's Beneficiaries Called
on to Pay Back.
Washington, Oct. 23.—1 t is understood
that two of the employes of the pension
office, whose pensions, were rerated, have
been officially requested to refund to the
government the extra money paid to them
on account of such rerating. The law
gives them sixty days in which to reply to
the notification of the government, and it
is not known what action they will take.
FATE OF THE OS8IPEB.!
Condemnation by tbe Board of Survey
Probable.
Washington, Oct. 23.—1 t is the general
impression of the officials at the navy de
partment that the board of surrey on the
Oseipse will rep irt In favor of condemning
ti,e vessel. This course would be in harmony
with the policy that has been pursued lately
with rts-peot to old vessels in the navy, the
idea lieing to get them out of tbe way for
the new irou ships.

EUROPEAN PEACE.
Press Comments on the Recent Royal
Meetings.
Vienna, Oct. 23. —The papers of this city
applaud Emperor William s speech, and
declare that it furnishes evidence of the
peaceful tendency of Germany and her
allies. The Fremdenblatt says that the
additional German armament*, caused by
the preparations of her neighbors guar
antee the peace of the world afresh. The
united strength of the allies constitutes a
strong bulwark of peace, which has been
made more secure by the recent personal
meeting between the emperor and other
rulers.
THE VISIT TO TURKKr.
Paris, Oct. 23.— The Journal dts Dehatu,
commenting on the visit of Emperor Will
iam to Turkey and its effect u(>on the Eu
ropean situation, recalls the declaration
made by Prince Bismarck, that the easteru
question was not worth the bones of asingle
Pomeranian grenadier, anu the fact that
Emperor William, during the banquet of
the ezar on his late visit to Berlin, roasted
the Russian army which captured Plevua.
The Journal points out that under these
circumstances it would be iniposaiole for the
sultau to joiu the triple alliance. It also
says that Turkey has an army which
enables her to dispense with allies. Nothing
menaces Turkey, whose security is best
assured by her independence. French in
terest* in the east are bound up with the
interests of Turkey, and consequently there
is no more decided partisan of the integrity
of Turkey than France.
CORRECTING ERRONEOUS IDEAS.
Berlin, Oct. 23.—The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Cologne Uai*tUt says
be learns from official circles that the inter
view between the czar aud Prince Bis
marck was devoted by tho latter chiefly to
correcting tho czar’s erroneous views iu re
gard to the triple alliance, and persuading
him that its aims are peaceful. The Vienna
Fremdenblatt believes that Prince Bis
marck sucoeeded in correcting the czar’s
views, and expresses the hope that the czar's
clearer insight will leaven Russian political
parties.
GLADSTONE ON THE STUMP.
His Speech at Southport an Arraign
ment of tbe Government.
London, Oct. 23.—Mr. Gladstone deliv
ered an address at Southport this evening.
He was enthusiastically welcomed, the hall
being crowded two hours before the open
ing of the meeting. Mr. Glad done reviewed
tho work of the Liberal party during the
past twenty-ono years. He paid a tribute
to the laudable anxiety of tho powers
to postpone tho European crisis.
He referred to the Cretna question as a
formidable menace to the poaee of Europe.
He criticised at length the government’s
work, and claimed that all its useful
measures were liberal. The speech was
short and somewhat disappointing.
HE MADE A POINT.
Mr. Gladstone made a point by declaring
that the principles.of the dock strikers ap
plied to tue tenants and tradesmen in Ire
land would have been penal. Ho was
touched by the election gains, and believed
that if they could end the septennial act
and appeal to the people to-morrow the
verdict would be in favor of the
liberals and justice to Ireland. The bulk
of the speech was devoted to Irish griev
ances. Fie said that the necessity of the
continued proclaiming of new districts was
evidence of the failure of the coercion
policy, and be declared that the crime rate
was now the same as in 13*4, when, iu order
to secure the support of the Parueliites, the
Tories declared that coercion was no longer
a necessity. Mr. Gladstone said he was un
able to lav before his hearers a scheme of
liberal policy for the future beyond the
outlines already well known.

MARRIAGE AM) DIVORCE
THE EPISCOPALIANS TAKE UP
THE TWO SUBJECTS.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Presents the
Proposed New Canon to the Con
vention Failure to Prohibit Mar
riage With a Deceased Wife's Sister
Stirs Up One of the Delegatee—The
Canon Ooes Over Till 1892.
New York, Oct. 23.—When the Episco
pal convention opened to-day the president
of the house of deputies. Dr. Dix, presented
Rt. Rev. Dr. Churton, lord bishop of Nas
sau, to the convention, and the members
arose in respect to the distinguished guest.
The first business at tho morning session
was the report of the committee on canons
in relation to the organization of missionary
dioceses, deciding that consideration of the
subject was impracticable at this stage of
the proceedings.
THE neoroe's status.
The colored question was reopeued by
the committee on ooufereuce appointed by
the house of bishops, who recommended
that the deputies accede to the desire of the
Upper house aud pass the resolution defining
the attitude of the Episcopal church to the
negro race. The deputies declined to re
consider their action.
The subjeot of increasing tho member
ship of the committee on the state of the
church by providing for two delegates from
each missionary jurisdiction, and one from
each church in foreign lands, followed. Dr.
Nevins’ motion was to amend by electing
two delegates from all tho missionary'
jurisdictions and one from abroad. After
some debate the resolution and amendment
were adopted.
At this point the secretary notified the
house that the bishops Lad again failed to
concur in the adoption of Dr. Huntington’s
short office of prayer, as recommended by
the conference committee.
NAME OF THE CHURCH.
Another burning question was disposedof
by the house, to wit: The resolution of S.
Corning J udd of Chicago to substitute for
for the words “Protestant Episcopal," the
words ''American church,” amounting to a
change in the titleof the church. Mr. Judd
explained that the motion merely looked
to the elimination of tho present
words on the title page of
the prayer book, and did not require a
constitutional amendment. He had no
doubt that the majority of the house de
sired this change. (Laughter.]
“The gentlemen,” said he, “laugh, uo
doubt, from joy.” Mr. Judd then stated
that the friends of the measure were in no
haste, and moved that the adverse report
of the joint committee, together with the
origi al resolution, be referred to the next
general convention, and it was so ordered.
PRAYER FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Two resolutions reported back by the
joint liturgical committee wore next in
order. The most important was that the
rubric following the prayer for the Presi
dent of the United States be transposed so
as to follow the collact for grace in tbe
morning prayer. This Implies the omis
sion of the prayer, and incited a number
of speeches protesting against such an
omission. Dr. Newton of Virgmia called
attention to the fact that there was no man
m the land who was so burdened with
responsibility or needed the prayers of the
people more. Dr. Gibson moved that tho
motion go over until the next triennial con
vention, but it was voted down. Mr. Stark
of Connecticut moved that the vote be
taken by dioceses and orders, and the roll
of each diocese be called. The motion was
lost by a vote of 7 yeas to 78 nays.
HULKS ON ELECTING BISHOPS.
When tbe afternoon sea-uon had begun,
Dr. Goodwin of Peuusylvauia presented
the report from the committee on canons,
regulating tlie election of bishops, which
was adopted.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
The house then with closed doors took up
one of the most momentous sections of the
canonical law—that of marriage and di
vorce.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin of New Jeriey,
the chairman of the committee, opened the
proceedings by reading the appended canon,
comprising the ground-work of tho exist
ing canon with proposed amendments:
Section 1. If any pertains be joined together
otherwise than as God's word doth allow their
marriage is not lawful.
Sec. 2. Marriage U prohibited by the word of
God and by Ills church within the degrees of
consanguinity and affinity specified in letviticus
xviii, 8, 18.
Sec 8. It shall be the duty of ministers to ad
monish the people from time to time that the

its public solemnization ought not to be dis
pensed with exoept for good cause, and under
special circumstances. No minis er shall sol
emnize the marrla -e of any person under the
age of 18 years, except the parents having legal
chargi of such person or guardian be
present, or have given written consent
to the marriage. No minister shall solem
nize a marriage, except in the presence
of at least two witnesses, himself or the wit
nesses being personally acquainted with both
parties. Every minister of the church should
keep an official register of marriage, In which
he shall record too name birthplace, age,
residence, and condition of each

scribed iu said register shall he signed
by both parties to the marriage, by at least two

Sec. 7. VGe* tio “* touching tho facts in any
case arising under the pr .visions of this canon
may be decided by the ordinary after such in
quiry as he shall deem necessary
1 8ec. 8. This canon, so far as it fixes penalties,
Las nij retiospective effect.
Sec. 9. All previous canons on the subject are
hereby anuuled.
THE FKINCtPLK OF CANONICAL LAW.
ill presenting the foregoing, Or. Krauklln
stated that the principle of canonical law is
peculiar us compared with civil and crim
inal law. The spirit af the devil oomeih iu
like a fi sid, and the question Is whether tbe
church should meet and grapple with that
spirit and take her positiou against the
flood.
Mr. Burgwln of Pittsburg answered the
srgumeut of Hr. Packard of Maryland, that
it waa out of order to vote upon tint first
section, ou Uw ground that it was already
in tbe conetltutio I, by offering au amend
ment, aiding the words, “and such mar
riage is hereby prohibited," and annulling
mm 14.

Ur. Franklin then proceeded to dettue the
laws of .inHHkMIoH) and admit y, prohibit

*• andT# wHw. ***** *
“By this canon,' said he, “a man is not for
bidden to unite with his deceased wife's
sister,” a statement which brought Mr.
Christian of Newark to bis feet, declaring
that the most practical point to be gained
was then omitted. He objected to the
passage of canons containing texts from
scripture which any one can interpret as he
or she pleases.
Mr. Nelson objected to the word “for
bids” as being unfortunate, and asked that
“discountenances" be substituted.
Mr. Packard moved that all between the
words "time” and "that,” and Mr. Brown
of Massachusetts moved that tho whole of
sub-section Ibe strickeu out. Thia motion
was carried by a vote of 90 to 77, and a re
cess was taken until 8 o’clock.
Mr. Packard stated that aeetion 2 was
not ambiguous in that the term was "speci
fied’' and not “prohibited” in reference to
the book of Leviticus.
PROHIBITIVE DEOUKE9.
Dr. Gibson of Central New York thought
that a table of prohibitive degrees should be
printed.
Dr. Phillips Brooksjof Massachusetts de
nounced the original amendment as clumsy
m form and undesirable in substance.
Dr. Goodwin of Pennsylvania thought it
a most extraordinary thing to re-enact the
texts of the scripture, and advocated taking
a bold stand as the church of England had
done.
Dr. Burgwm’s amendment was carried by
a vote of 134 yeas to 90 nays.
A resolution by Mr. Taylor of Spring
field to insert a prohibitive table, as con
tained in the canon of the Church of
England, was tabled.
Section 3 was theu proceeded with. Mr.
Speed of Mississippi moved that, the words
"except for good cause, etc.,” be stricken
out.

The night session of tho house of deputise
was unproductive of results. The question
of marriage and divorce again came up for
consideration, and, nfter a debate nr an

churche* was also brought uo, and was

cause of the trouble that has existed for
some time between tbe members of District

sult was that Coffee was suspended from the

necker la Doomed.
Chicago, 111,, Oct. 23.—Joseph Neville
was thrown out of the orlmlnal court build
ing last evening and finally hauled away
aud looked up. He was slightly under the
influence of liquor, aud became quite bois
terous, declaring that be and his friends
were memliers of the Cian-na-Gael, and
that State’s Attorney Lougnecker would
not live to finish the prosecution of the
men charged with the murder of Dr.
Cronin. He said he did not value
bis own life, and before the week
passed Btate’s Attorney Lougnecker
would disappear mysteriously. When he
endeavored to force his way into the state’s
attorney’s office he was placed under arrest.
Neville was arraigned in the police oourt

drunk at the time he made the disturbance,

that he would keep him in the house of oor*
reotion until the Cronin trial shall bar*

ton, and the tag Protection went ashore in
a bunch at W innetka about 10 o’clock las*
night. The wind was heavy from the
northeast, with a heavy sea. The Ballan
tine and I ronton were laden with coal, and
are owned by William Mock of Cleve
land. The Ballantine is valued at
$42,000. The Ironton ia voiced
at 125,000. The point where tbe
boats struck has been the scene of many
disasters, some of them attended by heavy
loss of life. The Evanston life-saving crew
took off the crews of the barge and tug,
but those on board the steamer preferred to
remain with their vessel. The Ballanttne
will probably be a complete wreck, but the
barge and tug will probably be hauled off.
