Religious Movement That Has
Found Favor in Tacoma.
THE WOMEN PURIFIED BY GOD.
Married Women Renounce Their Hus
band Until They Shall be Sanctified,
aud Matrimonial Infelicity IteeulU
Other Paelfle Coaat Newa.
Tacoma. Mra. O. W. Gallagher, wife
of the paator of the Atkinson Memorial
Congregational Church of Old Tacoma,
la the leader of a new religious gect. A
number of women, principally married,
have renounced their huabanda and men
generally, unless the latter have Income
sanctified, as the women believe them
selves purified by God and sanctified be
yond the touch of unsanctiflod mankind.
The movement has met with sufficient
popularity among married and unmar
ried women and a few men to warrant
the leadera in renting s hall to dincuiia
the subject of utii venial sanctiflcation,
which they conaider an important one
in a higher civilization and ethics. Aa
a result of adhering to the apirit of the
principles of the new aect there are re
ported aeveral matrimonial infelicities,
regarding which Mrs. Gallagher nays
that if either the husband or the wife ia
sanctified and the oilier is not they can
not get along together. It ia currently
reported Kev. Mr. Gallagher ia displeased
with the new sect's plans and would
seek a divorce.
' SKMT TO STOCKTOIT.
Man Witnesses Afflrru Juke Rudolph's
r insanity.
Ban Francihco. Jake Rudolph, who
attempted to kill the business manager
of the Chronicle on the 7th instant, has
been committed to the Stockton Insane
Asylum as the result of the examina
tion before Superior Judge Levy and the
Insanity CommiBsioncrs. There was no
attempt to Interpose a defense, and the
consensus of testimony entabllshed be
yond question that Rudolph was insane,
and that his mental condition was of he
reditary origin. Chris Buckley testified
that he had known him for twenty years,
during the greater part of which time
Rudolph had been his clerk and com
panion. The ex-boss recalled the occa
sional tits of melancholia which over
came Rudolph, who had several times
threatened to kill others and then him
self. Buckley believed Rudolph waM in
sane, and that his insanity had been
hastened and aggravated by domestio
troubles. 8am Ralney's knowledge of
Rudolph extended over many years,
and he personally lwlieved that the man
was insane, as well as dangerous to the
community. J. B. Kllot, whom Rudolph
tried to shoot, ten tilled that he did not
know the man and had never seen him
before the assault. Lemuel Rudolph,
brother of Jake, admitted the family
taint of madness, 'and confirmed the
statement that his father, mother and
sister were mentally irresponsible. Ex
Coroner W. F, Garwood. Dr. George
Franklin Shiels.Pr. J. P. Wilson, Noah
Flood and Dr. J. M. Bell testified that
they knew Jake Rudolph, and that they
believed he was insane. Rudolph was
accordingly committed to the asylum at
Stockton, with the provision that snould
his reason be restored he must be turned
over to the San Francisco authorities for
trial upon the charge of assault with in
tent to commit muraer.
SMUGGLING BTKAMKR
The Strange Craft That Hovers About
Monterey Bay.'
Pacific Guovs, Cau Belated pedes
trians who were on the railroad track
that lines the beach near Chinatown the
other night were considerably amaied at
seeing through the thick fog the distinct
outlinea of small steamer. Being so
near the shore and among some of the
most dangerous rocks in this vicinity,
they came to the conclusion that the boat
was a amuiriiler. The helmsman evi
dently knew the Ins and outs of the bay,
aa no vessel could approach so near the
dangerous shore without heing in great
peril. No lights could be discerned by
the men on shore. She had evidently
been there some time, and as soon as the
men on shore were seen by those on the
steamer the vessel was put about and
made straight for the open sea. This is
the second occurrence of this kind in
this neighborhood, as on the 28th of
March last some railroad hands saw
what appeared by their description .to
be the same boat that attempted landing
the other night. Monterey Bay is the best
harbor on the coast tor smugglers, and
at times they have been captured .here;
but since the fifty Chinamen landed near
here by the Halcyon were taken into
custody the smugglers nave oeen cau
tious. Some weeks ago aeveral custom
hniiHu officials were at Pacific Grove, and
since then a close waCch has been kept
by their orders, and some interesting
developments are tooxea tor.
"' TWO AGAINST !.
Deelston of the Court In a Midwinter
,..),. . Valr Dispute. '
San Francisco. The suit of Conces
sionaire C. F. Hall against the Midwin
ter Fair management has been decided
in favor of the latter. Hall claimed that
in Chicago he bought the exclusive right
to exhibit gold and silver plating at the
Midwinter Fair. He paid (500 for the
privilege, and went to the further ex-
Eense of fitting up a 11,300 booth. After
e was in working trim he discovered
that three other people at the fair were
in the same line of buxiness. Hall de
manded that their privileges should be
revoked. The management refused to
do tills, and Hall brought suit for an in
junction. The whole case rested on his
application papers. Hall said he had
been unable to get them from the man
agement. The management declared
that thev were " lost." In consequence
testimony had to be offered to show
what they contained. Hall swore they
granted him the " exclusive " privilege,
and pointed to his receipt to snow teat
he would not have paid the money had
he not got an exclusive right. Messrs.
de Young and Comely swore that Hall
had not been granted the "exclusive"
It was two against one. Judge
Miirnhv said that the t)
lurphy said that the preponderance of
evidence was on the side of the Midwin-
ter Fair management and he must
per-
force give Judgment in its favor,
FKNNIMOltK CONVICTKD.
The Ex-County Clerk Found Guilty of
Kmbeaxleinent.
Post Townsbnb. W. F. Fennlmore,
ex-County Clerk of Jefferson county, has
been convicted in the Superior Court of
embezzling 527.50. The jury recom
mended that he receive the lowest sen
tence consistent with the law. One year
before he retired frobi office two local
banks refused to pay their taxes on ac
count of their property being assessed at
an excessive valuation, and while the
matter was in adjudication paid to Fen
ni more the amount stated as a tender.
Subsequently the suit was decided in
favor of J-lie banks, and Fennimore
turned theofllceover to the newly elected
County Clerk. The accused did not sur
render the money to his successor or the
County Treasurer. Such was the evi
dence adduced in the prosecution. The
defense offered no testimony except as
to Fennimore's previous good character
and reputation in the community. The
jury was out thirty minutes. Mr. Fen
nimore has lived in Jefferson county ten
years, and was a Deputy Collector of
Customs from 1883 to 18H8. In 188(1 and
18(X) he was elected County Clerk by
large majorities, leading the bead of the
tickets by 200 or 300.
ASTORIANS IllCJKCT IT.
The Stanton-Campbell Proposition la
Decided Adversely.
Astoria. The Stanton-Campbell rail
road proposition was considered by the
Astoria railroad subsidy committee and
decided upon adversely. The main ob
jection found was that it was proposed
to tie up the subsidy for twenty days,
and this in accordance with the previous
determination of the committee to enter
tain no offer other than one to complete
the road was rejected. Whether the
Stanton-Campbell party will now retire
is a matter of conjecture, although Mr.
Stanton stated before his departure for
Portland that he would abandon the en
terprise for good. Many of his friends
here, however, claim that he will again
be in the field with an amended propo
sition in the course of two or three
weeks. The belief is gaining ground that
the Union Pacific will build the river
road this summer, and various rumors
to that effect, all apparently well found
ed, are current. The sentiment of the
majority of the property owners is fa
vorable to Messrs. Baxter aud Dicken
son, in whose good faith and ability to
bring the matter to a successful issue
there is a pretty general confidence.

Biatti,!. A sensational divorce auit
was begun here the other day. The
plaintiff ia Mrs. Dr. Rawson, cousin of
Prince Yterbide of Mexico, with whom
she was formerly in love and with whom
she was recently received at Washington,
D. C., by Secretary Gresham. She is
supposed to have been jilted by him,
and. meeting Dr. Rawson, who is a very
handsome man, on a train while she was
yet only 17 years old, she married him
after a six dava' courtship. They then
resided in Helena, Mont. Mrs. Rawson,
who is a lovely woman and now visiting in
California, asks to be excused from de
tailing the causes of the divorce, but al

such that she could not live with him.

BRYAN'S CANAL BILL.
Provisions Made for an Imme
diate Working Capital.
GREAT INNOVATION INTRODUCED
Plan for the Completion of the Nicara
gua Canal by This Government by a
Mew System of Financiering Some
Features of Morgan's Product.
Washington. A plan for the comple
tion of the Nicaragua canal by this gov
ernment by a new system ot financiering
has been introduced in the House by its
author, Bryan of Nebraska. While some
features of Senator Morgan's product are
repeated, a great innovation is brought
forward by provisions Intended to in
crease the circulating medium of the
country, paying for the stock of the canal
company by an issue of legal-tender
notes modeled after the greenbacks of
1802. The plan is designed so as to meet
favor from the anti-bond men. Accord
ing to the bill the stock of the canal com
pany is to consist of 1,000 shares of $100
each, tor which legal United States notes
identical in character to those issued
under the act of February, 1862, are to
be issued, redeemable to the same ex
tent and same manner as those of 1862.
The Secretary of the Treasury is to pur
chase $70,000,000 of the stock of the
company and pay for it at par by the
issue of the notes described, which are
to be kept in circulation as a part of the
currency of the country. Six millions
of the capital stock is to be issued to the
government of Nicaragua, $600,000 to
Costa "Rica, and the remaining $23,600,
000 is to be held in the Treasury nntil
the government decides whether to pur
chase it or permit it to be sold by sub
scription, except an amount not to ex
ceed $7,000,000, to be used by the com
pany in taking np its outstanding stocK.
Provision is made for an immediate issue
of $2,000,000 aa a working capital and
the issue ol the remainder in quarterly
installments as may be necessary to
carry on the work of construction.
FIGHTING SMALLPOX. '
Kxtra Precaution Taken by the Chicago
CniCAOo. Mayor Hopkins and Health
Commissioner Reynolds have issued a
joint proclamation requiring all persons
the city who have not been vacci
nated to have that operation performed
within ten davs under penalty of prose
cution under a city o-dinance providing
a fine of not less than $3 nor more than
$25 for failure. Those who cannot afford
to pay for vaccination will be treated
free. The Commissioner has put 100
men on the rolls. They consist mainly
of physicians and senior medical stu
dents, and will be used as vaccinators.
To the force of men investigating daily
the " sweat shops " twenty-five others
were added, making the total force fifty.
The health officials have secured a lum
ber kiln in which to lumigate ciotning.
This will be useful in the fumigation of
clothing taken from "sweat shops." un
account of the prevalence of the disease
the City Collector has .temporarily re
fused licenses to junk dealers.
LOVK HAS FOREVER FLED.
Lillian Rusaell and Slgnor Perttglnl
Ag;re to Separate.
Nkw York. Lillian Russell and her
husband, Signor Perugini, who ia known
in private life as John Chatterton, have
separated forever and aye. This an
nouncement, which is made positively
on the authority of no less a person than
Miss Russell herself, will be a big sur
prise to the public, as the memory of ber
marriatre to her fellow-singer, not quite
four months ago, is not yet faded, but to
those who are intimate with Miss Rus
sell and her husband it will come only aa
the logical result of their difference in
temperament, which became pronounced
a few days after the strange Sunday
morning ceremony performed by a Ho
boken Justice of the Peace. For to their
relatives and others close to them the
songbirds made no secret of their sad
discovery that their hearts, unlike their
voices, were not attuned and never could
be. . ,

A Statement From the American Pro
tective Tariff League.
Washington. The American Protect
ive Tariff League has prepared a state
ment showing the condition of labor in
Oregon. From 140 different reports in
thirty-five different towns it is shown
that the total average number of hands
employed in 1892 was 3,648. In 1803
there were 8,021, and in 1894, 1,612,
This was a decrease in 1893 ot Zl per
cent, and m loiH oi w per cent, sev-entv-six
reports were received from
Portland, showing! 2.689 hands employed
in 1892 and 1,164 in 1894. The statement
savs the deplorable condition in Ureiron

Death of a Reclnaa.
Dknvkr. Mrs. H. M. Kerr of North
Fifteenth street, Philadelphia, and J. J.
Munn of Chicago, the sister and nephew
of Hiram J. Brendllnger, are heirs to
over $600,000 by his death. Brendlinger
was a bachelor, and was found dead in
bed recently. He owned a large amount
of unmortgaged property in the center
of the city. Munn was formerly witli
the Colorado National Bank of Denver
and afterward with the first '.National
Bank of Helena. He is now in Chicago.

ten years has been a recluse. He was' a
California argonaut, came to Colorado

NATIONAL CAPITAL HEWS.
A bill to brovlde for coinage at the
branch mint at Denver, Col., baa been
introduced in the House by Pence. It
appropriate $600,000 for the construc
tion of the necessary plant.
Representative Wilson of Washington
is prepared to show that the House cut of
the Apache Indian appropriation! from
$126,000 to $90,000 will necessitate a re
duction next year of 1,000,000 pounds of
beef and 30,000 pounds of flour. It is
his opinion this cut is likely to lead to
trouble wun tne Apacnes. it win ainu
be shown that the Indian police service
will be made inefficient by the proposed
cut and the Indian schools crippled.
There are many other specific items
likely to cause an uprising among the
Indians. .
Senator Squire has offered an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill provid
ing for the Seattle canal in a new form,
aa follows: "Dredging Shilahole Bay
and Salmon Bay and improvement of the
waterway connecting the waters of Pu
get Sound at Salmon Bay with Lakes
Union and Washington by enlarging the
waterway into a ship canal, with neces
sary locks and appliances in connection
therewith, $200,000." He also offered an
amendment of $25,000 for dredging Ev
