Wins Her Damage Case
Against P. J. McGowan.
CATHOLIC'S AT SAVANNAH OA.
Tbcy Attempt to Prevent' a Public
Lecture- The Whole Mili
tary Force Out.
Associated Fress.
'San Francisco, Feb. 26.-Te United
States circuit court of appeals decided
two small cases today. Peter W. Lar
sen was. drowned in the Columbia riv
er In May, 1893, through his boat run-
ntng against & fish trap owned by P.
J. McGowan. The United States cir
cuit court of Oregon allowed the wid
ow $3,000 damages, find Moowan ap
pealed. The court of appeals upheld
the lower tribunal.
Frank Tracy was seriously Injured on
the Oregon Short Line and Utah Nor.
thern railroad. He was employed as
brake man and, while his train was be
ing shunted on a siding: he signalled
once to slow down and again to stop.
Owing to brush that grew along the
line the engineer did not see the slg-
nasl and nearly killed Tracy. The
United States circuit court of Oregon
gave the latter $4,000 damages and the
railroad appealed. The decision of the
lower, court was affirmed.
RELIGIOUS RIOTS.
Catholics of Savannah, Georgia, Cause
Great Uneasiness.
Savannah, Ga., Feb. 26. This . has
been the most exciting night In, tha
history of Savannah. For 4e , hqUra
the city has trembled on roe verge
of religious riots. The entire white
military force with the exception of
the artillery has .been, on duty. There
are ten uuumry companies, ana ule
Georgia Hussars. The mob is est!
mated at from 3,000 to 6,000, 'the great
er part being Catholics, and has chal
lengea uieir roroearance to the ex
treme. But for the coolness of Mayor
Meyers and the officers commanding
the troops, ihlood might have been shed.
Bayonet charges were made several
times to clear the streets, But the mob
which had gathered about Masonic
Temple stubbornly refused to retire.
The city has been literally placarded
with notices that ex-Priest Slatterly
and wife, descrBbed as an ex-nun.
would lecture here on Catholicism,
members of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians at once took steps to prevent
their appearance here. Petitions were
circulated asking iMayor Meyers to re.
fuse permission to the ex-prlest to
iiuia nis leciure. When it was pre
sented to the mayor by the commtltee
he handed them a written opinion from
the corporation attorney to the effect
that he, as mayor, had no power to
abridge the rights of speech guaranteed
by the constitution of the United States
and the state of Georgia. In his opin
ion, the city attorney said there could
be no disorder or trouble if those who
were offended toy Slattery's remarks
would stay away from the lecture. "1
can't stop this man from lecturing,"
said the mayor, who is a 'Hebrew, "but
I can prevent disorder, and I will do
so."
. Fifteen policemen were stationed in
side the hall, and thirty others were
massed in front. By 7 o'clock several
hundred had collected. By 8 6'clock a
howling mob of over .1,600 surrounded
Masonic hall. In the- hall were an
audience ' of about 400, Inditing a
number of ladles. The lecturer had

cobblestones began to rain ton the win.
dows. The police had closed all the
heavy Inside shutters, thus saving the
audience from Injury, only ' two or
three being injured by falling glass.
The rest of the police force was called
out, and fifty men were soon in front
of the hall. The mob made a rush to
secure the entrance, but were driven
back by the police. Before 9 o'clock
the mob had grown to between 3,000
and 4,000. Window after window In
the MaHonic Temple was broken.
At the close of the lecture when the
ox -priest was about to leave the hall
with his friends the 'chief of police
stopped them and refused to allow
anyone to go down stairs. The mili
tary alarm of eleven taps on all fire
bells In the city was sent In, but when
it sounded, the mob derided it. - "Bring
on your military" some of the leaders
shouted. "To hell with them; they
can't save Slattery." Elevn companies
of military were soon on the ground
and with fixed bayonets pushed the
crowd back. Finally Slattery was es
corted to his hotel by the military
and a guard left there.

A Catholic Paper Says they
Defeated Dolph.
MULTNOMAH COUNTY'S SHERIFF,
Slapped by Representative McGinn
and Retaliates With a Blow
Over the Head.
Associated Press. 1
Portland, Feb. 26. The Catholic Sen
tinel, the official organ of the Cathollo
ohurch In the Northwest, has the fol
lowing: - .
"The defeat of Senator Dolph for a
third term as United States senator,
is due directly to the A. P. -A.,' It is
no secret that, al enough, Dolph was ap
parently short four votes of the eleo-
tlon, there were two votes that twould
go to him whenever that number
should be sufficient to elect. ' He was,
in fact, then, within two votes of elec.
tlon. Had Cole and Burke, members of
the house from Multnomah county,
voted for him as they were pledged to
do, both before their nomination and
afterward by their entering the party
caucus, Mr. Dolph would have been
elected. The reason these men vlolat
ed their ante-eflection pledges and par
ty caucus obligation Is to be found in
the fact that they were members of
the American Protective Association
society, and were opposed to Dolph be
cause he had voted . for the govern.
ments paying for the education of some
Indian dhlldren at Cathollo contract
schools.
btate Senator H. E. McGinn and
Sheriff George C. Sears engaged in an
altercation today at the entrance to
the Worcester block. Both men hap.
pened to meet there and Sears called
MoGlnn a sneak, alluding to his action
on a legislative bill which cut off some
oj; Sears.'.. fees, McGinn. immediately
alapped Sears in the face. Bears then
drew a revolver and; struck' McGinn
over the head. - At this Juncture the
bystanders interfered, and stopped the
row. No arrests were made.
