lng: President Harrison.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 14. Inquiry at
Homestead, a ' suburb of . Pittsburg,
shows that Charles Henry William

eeek employment, and seemed to have

ably. He sought the .society of the cler
gymen of the town and unfolded to them
the scheme which was uppermost in his
mind. He said that all religious socie

on wrong ideas, and that peace will not
come to tbe world until all the churches
are destroyed, and one grand central ed
ifice erected with branches of the same
kind in every town.. He. said he had
been , appointed . to be master architect,
and that all who assisted in the enter
prise wbuld be saints... He -left for

interesting "President -Harrison in his
project.. . While at Homestead Hoee
conducted himself as a gentleman, and
was considered narmless. .

The Scheme or the Man Who Was

Waycboss, Ga., Dec. 14. The Ware

morning about 2 o'clock by a mob of
fifty masked men, who went to the cell
containing Welcome Golden and Robert
Knight, leaders of the Varna riot, and
shot them dead. The sheriff was called
up by a man named Johnson, who said '
he had a prisoner that he wished to put
in jail. The prisoner, he saidhadfkilled
his son-in-law, aud asked to be locked
up as a protection against lynchers. The
sheriff accompanied Mr. ."Johnson" to
the jail, where he found three men sit
ting on the steps. As the sherifi ap
proached the party jumped up and pre
sented their Winchesters, saying "Con
sider yourselves under arrest." The ,
sheriff drew his pistol and was caught
by one of the men. They then de
manded that he should unlock the jail,
but he refused. About fifty masked
men, who had been concealed behind
the building, then appeared, and, the
sheriff still persisting in his refusal to
open the doors, they deputized four of
their number to take him back to his
house aud guard .him there. On the
way back he got away from them and
sent word to Way cross, summoning the
military company and the police. By
the time these had arrived, however,
the mob had completed its work and
departed. -.
A NIGHT OF TERROR.
Adventures in the China Sea on Board
a Merchant Vessel.
San Fbancisco, Dec. . 14. George
Merchant, mate of the ill-fated schooner
Pearl, that was run down in the China
sea August 5 by a large steamer, is in
tbe city, on his way to visit his brother'
at Fresno. .--.He says the Pearl was a
mall schooner employed in trading '
around the. Philippine islands, but on
the last . voyage was bound' to Hong
Kong from Pamay. The schooner car
ried a crew of six. When within about
eighty miles of her destination, on the
night of August 5, it was blowing a
strong gale and the schooner was hove
to. . Merchant and a seaman named May
were on deck when the lights of a large
steamer were seen coming straight for
the Pearl. May ran to the cabin : hatch
and got a flare, but before he could light
it the steamer crashed into the schooner,
nearly cutting her in two. May's arm
was broken and he was badly hurt in
ternally. The rest of the crew were
asleep and were no doubt killed in their
bunks- Merchant succeeded in cutting
the only boat adrift, and - by almost
superhuman efforts got it over the rail
into the water. The : two men had
barely time to get into the boat when
the schooner went down bead first.
They shouted frantically for aid, but the
steamer kept on her way and the two
castaways were left to their fate. They
had neither food nor water and only a
single pair of oars. May died at day
light and Merchant soon became delirious
and 'insensible. He was rescued by a
Chinese junk and taken to Hong Kong,
proceeding thence to Victoria by the
steamer Empress of 'China. He fell
overboard during tiie voyage, bat was
quickly rescued. '
