pecially those embracing portions of
the country through which Coxey's
cohorts would be most likely to pass,
notifying them of the receipt of the in
formation and directing that the offi

Is to haul them up under the stringent
vagrant laws of the District and to
give them employment In the District
workhouse farm. Similar disposition
will be made of other detachments ex

effort to discharge the order of arrest
made on the 26th of March occupied
the entire session of the house Satur

New York, April 11 This city ana
the whole Atlantic seaooast was sept
by a storm of unusual fury. Mariners
say it is the worst gale they have en
countered for years. The wind blew
at the rate of seventy-five miles an
hour and a riree storm of snow and
sleet prevailed.
The schooner Kate Markee went
i ashore near Highlands, N. J., and ail
hands were drowned. Eight lives were
lost. Six men were washed from the
bowsprit. One man swam ashore and
stood up in the undertow, but was
knocked down and carrit d back into
the sea and lost. One man went down
with the mast, and held on to a rope
for nearly half an hour; then he let go
and sank.
The schooner Albert W. Smith, was
lost with all hands at Squan. She was
owned in Providence, R. I., the chief
owner being Albert W. Smith, a large,
dealer in wool. She was built lu
Ken ne bunk in 1873, and was com
manded by Captain Samuel li. Berry.
Her crew consisted of mate. Pardon S.
Barber, of Narragnsett Iier; cook,
George Lopez; seamau. Manuel Silver,
Peter Pino, Andrew Deloruta, Amicitl
Darogues, and a boy, Ca-aar Gomes.
Captain Berry has a wife and two
children in this city.
A dispatch from Greenport, R. 1.,
said that the storm raged with great
fierceness there, the wind blowing at
the velocity of over forty miles an
hour and snowing and raining altern
ately. There was great damage to
shipping. The new oyster schooner
Nevada has been driven ashore, she
is heavily loaded with seed oysters, and
without a doubt will become a total
wreck, as she is pounding to pieces on
the rocks. The lumber sloop John
Morgan parted her cables and in lees
than ten minutes was a total wreck.
The storm raging Is the worst that
has visited Seabright in eleven years.
Three thousand feet of the New Jersey
Southern Railroad between that place
aad Highland Beash has been washed
out. The waves were so strong that
the iron rails were twisted out of shape.

Omaha. Neb, April 10. Probably
on- of the greatest ecclesiastical trials
In the history of the Catholic church in
America was begun in Omahaii yester
day, in which a majority of the prieeta
of this diocese charge Bishop Bonacum,'
of Lincoln, with "maladministration,
tyranuy, oppression, insubordination,
inciting strife, slander, and libel,'
arbitrary fxercise and abuse uf power,
violation of diocesan atat ates, misap
propriation, lalaehood, speculation, un-j
due influence, unjust favoritism,
scanda, gambling, and incitation to
perjury." These are supplemented,
with 115 specifications, the whole com
prising a document of twenty type-j
written pages. Over 100 witnesses
priests, nuns, and laymen will appear
in support of the charges. The pro-'
ceedlngs are likely to occupy several,
weeks. '
The case comes before Archbishop
Hennessey, of Dubuque. Whether the
hearing Is to be an ecclesiastical trial in
regular form, or merely an investiga
tion. Is undetermined. Tbe complain
ants insist upon a trial, and will not be
satisfied with Jess.
The trial of a Bishop is extremely
rars even in the Old World, and is un
precedented in the Western church.
Heretofore Bishops accused of grave
offenses have been called to Rome and
quietly suppressed by removal to some
distant diocese or placed on the retired
list. The sending of a papal delegate
to the United States reversed this
policy to some extent by creating a
lower court for the determination of
questions of church management aris
ing in this country. Appeal from tbe
findings may then be had to the papal
delegate, and finally to Roma
The progress of the case, the pro
ceedings heretofore bad, and Use pros
pect of an early determination, excites
keen interest among church men. To
priests It ta especially important, not
on account of the gravity of the charges
preferred against the Bishop of Lincoln
but because it involves the question
whether or not bishops are bound to
respect and obey the laws of tbe
church in their relations with subor
dinates. From tbe filing of the
original charges against the Bishop a
year ago to tbe present time the case
has developed from a diocesan row to
a controversy of international magni
tude. Its ramifications extend from
Lincoln to the Vatican and Involve the
ecclesiastieal faction recently arrayed
for and against the establishment of a
papal delegation In this country. Al
though there is a calm on the surface
of this troubled sea a storm rages be
neath. Its area Is steadily widening
and It Is not improbable that ere long
it will draw into its vortex many
dignitaries outside of the TJncoln
diocese.
Tremendous pressure has been ex
erted from various quarters to prevent
a trial of the charges. Not only nave
the complaining priests been Impor
tuned to cease agitation, but tbe bear
ing has been delayed and the attorneys
employed by the priests have been
harassed and one withdrawn Irom the
case at tbe moment of trial. So far as
known no defense has been attempted
by the Bishop, His answer " to the
charges at the time of their receipt
from Monsignor Satolll Is in the nature
of a general denial, coupled with the
assertion that the charges "are utterly
nnknown in the vicinity of Lincoln."
He indicated a willingness to make
answer, but the complainants have not
received a copy of the answer if It is
in existence.

his wife was not surprised. He ate

get shot." She did not know how to

London, April 11. There is now no
doubt that the British capitalists in
terested In St. Louis breweries are
alarmed over tbe outlook and are favor
ably disposed toward a treaty of peace
with the Knights of Labor. There
was a secret meeting of a number of
tbe heaviest stockholders at the Cannon
Street Hotel on Saturday afternoon, at
which the call for the convention of
brewery employee to be bald In St.'
Louis this month for the purpose of
organizing and pushing tbe boycott
against tbe English syndicate was read
and discussed. No formal action waa
taken, but it was tbe opinion of many
of those present that steps should be
taken for the protection of the English
interests that are menaced by the un
compromising attitude of tbe Amerl-'
can managers. Another meeting will
be held on Saturday next, and it is not
Improbable that within a week two or
three of the heaviest stockholders may
sail for the United States with a view
of looking over the ground In person
and suaTgesting measures by which the
breweries may be brought again into
amicable relations with organized
labor.
