BEK. ] For two year. * past Hov. J. W.
Hnblnson , pastor of the Methodist Kplscopal
ohurcb of this city , has been conducting the
mercantile buelnoss operated for many years
by J. V. N. Blloj , a cltl/oii HH prominent In
tlio religious circles of the Methodist ohurch
a In the business circles of the city. Biles
turned over his store to Hobison , who opor-
nlod It under the firm name of J.T. Hoblnsoo
ft Co. Last xvcok Biles took possession of
the store aealn , the sequel to which was a
startling denouement which took place last
n'leht , following the regular woouly prayer
meeting at the Methodist church.
' Mr. Biles caused a sensation by rising and
stating that ho desired in thut public manner
to tender the keys of the store to Hov. Dr.
Kohlnson , stating briefly the story of his
business relations with ttrt ) reverend genllo-
man nnd claiming lhat In this business rela
tion the pastor was short 51,500 In his uc-
counts.
The announcement fell upon the solemn
sanctity of the pni.vor mooting like a thun
der clap. Those present were called upon to
witness the tender made to Hov. Dr. Hohln-
son , which was not accepted. Today papers
were being prepared by attorneys to prose
cute the well known divine , nnd some more
startling developments will doubtless como
out la Iho suit. Biles has In his possession n
telegram Allowing that a farm belonging to
Kov. Dr. Hobmson in Nance county was re
cently transferred to his wife's namo.
Hov. Dr. Hoblnson ndm'ts the Iransfer of
Iho Nunco counly farm to his wlfo , but ex
plains thnt It was hers to begin with. Ho
said her father gave her n piece of land in
Iowa which was traded Iu on this farm
which Hoblnson mortgaged In his own name ,
until ho paid the mortgage , when the prop
erty was transferred to his wlfo again. Ho
also Insists that ho made no representation
of any amount of goods in the storo.

of the probability of the new treasurer

There \vos only the usual' attendance nt
the Coliseum lost night , 'which is way
below the deserts of the plucky contestants ,
n a hotter 'cyctoraco was never run iu the

and last night startod.out with ns much dash
and determination ns .would have marked

Prince did not start. After a few miles had
been reeled off , Ashingor spurted away with
Iho evident , intention of Inking a lap from
Wood , but iho lllllo Englishman clung
to him like n shadow and ho
couldn't gain an , inch. They bolh
took n Inp , however , from Stage nnd O'Flan-
ngnn , who were uuequal to the severe strain.
It was a great burst of speed , and the spec
tators kept up a continuous shout until the
foatabovo mentioned had boon accomplished"
Barring accidents the first honors now lies
between Ashingor nnd Wood , with the
chances all Iu favor of Iho Englishman , who
is the speediest man on the track. Eighteen
miles nnd threo-auartors was made In the
first hour , with Wood , ns usual , in the lend.
Ashlnger shows wonderful improvement In
his riding , nnd is really a very spocdv man.
The Indians were in from the fort nnd
seemed to enjoy the sport immensely. They
yelled wildly when the men made their
spurts , nnd'acted as if they wanted lo Jump

accuiiiig the Hock Island of violating the

sldo office proaluod over by A. Mortonsen , a
ticket reading from Chtcifao to Kansas City
ou which u second party , who bad ostensibly
conducted the purchases to Mortcnson'n
oflico , rocolvea from tbo latter n commission
oftl. Iu this case the chairman concludes
that the defendant company bus violated rule
4 of the general rules of tbo association
and assesses a Una of | : > 00.
In the seooad caao tbo chairman dismissed
a complaint preferred by himself. The
charge was similar to tnefint , buto uueailon
arose M lo whether the notlcu fixing iho
I ttmo of urging the case wa * filed within tbo
1 time ronulroil by the a rjomont , considering
that n Sundav Intervened , Chairman Finldy
decides thnt ho Is prfcllniod from ontcrltlg

WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. Jan. O.n-All s.orts
of rumors were afloat' tonight in
regard to Br. Blalno's cor.dllloiUpTho ma
jority of them were of n most sensational
character , being that he had broken iloivn
completely and was In n most critical condi
tion. Some of them wont .so , far'as
to assert that ho could not possibly
recover. In order to. ascertain tlu
facts , roprespntallvos of Iho Associated
press lonight Interrogated Iho physicians
connected with the case. They were inter
viewed separately , and each of them , with
out knowing what the other said , assorted
positively , nnd without .qualification of any
kind , thnt Mr. BIuluo was. suffering from
indlecstlon caused by overcatltg"atid ) from
'
nothing else. , .
Dr. Si. Clalr , who was the first physician
in utlondnnco and who was with him nearly
an hour before the ether 'physicians arrived ,
made Iho following statement ot tho'caso :
"Lastnight Mr. Blame complalned" lii'htly
of "a sense of uneasiness'in-his'Stdmneh' it
was not sufficient , however , fii"liis opinion ,
nor in the opinion of Dr. Hyatt , his family
physician , who happened to-be present , hav-
ng been culled to see Mrs. Ulalne- , require -
quire any medical attention. Ho arose as
usual this morning , feeling qulto Well , ate an
unusually hearty breakfast , came .to the de
partment at Iho usual tluio . . .andbogan Iho
duties of the day in iho usual uiacncr.
Shortly after this ho began to'feel nauseated.
Ho called General Foster's ntto'ntlon to his
condition nnd General Foster sent fop mo. I
reached the side of th'o secretary inside
of two minutes. It was then about a. quarter
after 1 o'clock. The secretary wassufferin ;
from exireino nausea. With Mr. Foster's
assistance I helped him to the sofa. The
nausea became more nnd moro pressing ,
until finally vomiting commenced. It w.
easy and natural and the secretary succeeded
in ejecting a largo quantity of mixed and
rich food. Thinking it advisable lhat his
stomach should bo thoroughly emptied , I
ordered n tumbler of tepid water and added
a llttlo salt , in order that the dose night be
thoroughly nauseated , and induced the sec
retary to drink it. Copious vojnlling fol
lowed , the last of the matter discharged indi
cating tho. stomach was then empty'and
clean.
clean.Within
Within n few minutes the secretary's
pulse bognn to rise until it was ab
solutely regulnr- and normal , and ho
was , barring the naliiral prostration
which always attends ox t re in 9 nausea , * as
well a man ns ho had boon for'many'mdnths.
Ills eyes wore bright nnd his color good. Dr.
VunUoypen , who came in about this lime ,
applied n sinirle muslard loaf ovoc Iho
larger curvaluro of Iho slomach to allay
any irritation which might possibly remain
after Iho vomiting. No further contraction
of the stomach occurred , nor was there'any
indication that it was likely to o'ccur. A
short time after this Dr. Hyatt arrived nud
found the patient in excellent conditton.'but
from abundant caution prescribed n
soothing draught of llmowater "wilh n
few drops of carbolic acid. * The , i > ecro-
tnry then got up nnd walked to his
carriage without any apparent effort. Ho
was then taken home nnd 1 have not soon
him since. " Dr. Van Roy pen says ho felt a
dcllcacy > m talking about' the ease , but upon
being Informed of the nlnrmlng"rumofs iu
circulation ou tho.subject.dlctnte'd the follow
ing statement : . -
"Chief Clerk Brown cnmq to my oflico
about 120 : ! ! today nnd asked IP. ? to stop up-
slairs and see tno secretary , /who. was , ho
said , suffering from un attack of Indigestion.
Surgeon McClurg of the navy was in
my olllco at the limn and accompanied mete
to Mr. Blalnc's olllco.e found him
lying on the sofa , perfectly rational. Ho
had recovered from an attack of nausea , hav
ing already ejected tho"'contents of , his
'
stomach. His whole trouble sw'as. In consequence
quence of having eaten too much richly
seasoned food for breakfast. Ho suffered
feredtbo penalty of havliig u coed
cook. After he had vomited , his trouble
was over. 1 applied a mustnrd plaster
lo bis siomnoh lo allay any irritation that
may have boon remaining and that -was nil
the treatment ho required. , Dr. ' Hyatt called
Just ns I had removed the plaster : 1 trans
ferred the patient to his care. " The secretary
at that time had qulto recovered from bis
attack. There were no ether symptoms present -
ent atony time excepting" thojd of an over
loaded Htotnach. " ,
This concluded Dr. Van RoypenJs' state
ment. Ho was then nskod if tboro < wcro , as
rumorpd , symptoms of apoplexy In the case
nnd ho replied :
"None , whntovor , nor indeed , werotthoro
symptoms of nny trouble other thmi'I-havo
already Indicated. "
Or. Frnr.k Hyatt , who is Mr. Blalno's regular - .
ular physician , stated iu .tbo mosupo.sltlvo
terms that Mr. Illnino's.Illness today was
"simply an atluck of acute indigestion re
sulting from hard work , lack of cxerr.Uo. and
n heavy breakfast and nothing olso.UHo
salu Mr. Blulno rallied ouicKly 'nnd thor
oughly from the nttuoic and wo-s oofi ublo to
proceed homo In his carriage without assist
ance. Ilo said ho called on Mr. Blulno
ibout 5 o'clock this afternoon and found him
in good condition , ibe nausea Imving.ontlrely
disappeared , his pulse and tempenuuro being
normal. Ho was not suffuring'lti'the least nt
thai lime , nud Iho physicians added that
there was nothing iu his condition at
urosont lo require any fuvthnr attention at
ils hands. Ho would not call again tonight ,
because ho did not think it necessary , but ho
proposed as a matter of prudence to make
mother visit tomorrow about noon.
Ho expressed the opinion that to
day's attack MUS partially duo to
n "cold contracted by the secretary two
days ago whllo working for some time in a
oem with the thermomeler nearly at ( SO3.
1'hls , together with bard work and
nek of his customary exorcise , due to the
jud weather , hud made him moro suscopllblo
to Indigestion than ho oihorwUo would have

pubho confidence. Tno shareholders think
they see this savior In M. Christophlo. But
the statutes of the Credit , Fonder as thov
now stand do not allow , the Institution or Its
governor to go Into the venture.
If the Chamber " of Deputies has its way
the prosecution" M. do Lessups and his
colleagues , which has. been In abeyance for
sorao months , will be pushed on to a conclus
ion. But the ministry cannot assist in the
financial reconstruction of the company
which M.Jo Lesseps hai discredited , and us
the Credit Fonoior's hands are tied , It is
hard to see what financial concern could take
up the enterprise with any hope of success.

ICuiiK PASS , Tex. , Jun. ( ! . So much has
boon written of the gravity of the Gar/a
affair and such diverse opinions offered as
to tlio importance that may Justly bo nt-
lachod to the matter , lhat very few who have
pursued the dally papers ore able to form nu
lnlollgont | , opinion of the situation. Presi
dent Diaz , thq present Incumbent attained
his present position through precisely the
snrno methods with which Gnrza now under
takes his overthrow. The same plea was put
forth by both Diaz and Garza ,
that the cons'titulion ' was being vlo-
lalcd and iho * counlrv wns In danger
of relapsing into dictatorship. Diuz inol
with thatsaiifl ; pnltry support at the begin
ning that Garzahas received , nnd , like
Garza , sought nil nsylum In Texas when
pressed by the federal authorities of Mexico.
Diaz , like Garza , nlso inaugurated his
movement , , in Matamoras , the hotbed of
nearly' every Mexican revolution. Both
have proclaimed most lofty sentiments
of patriotic devotion lo the country
in prouunciamcnto. Dlalias already
achieved fame ns a military general and had
the conUdp'nce of his followers. Gir/n is an
unknown'"editor of n fiery little . outilry
paper and'outsido Of a limited circle of sub

If successfully Inaugurated will no the most
bloody of nil Mexican revolutions. The dis-
satisiled'elcnioiitis of three classes , ambi
tions ic.idcrs'Mvlio have failed to receive
a portion .of official emoluments and
who , under .the amended constitution ,
which permits tbo re-election of Iho
chief executive for an iudeilnto number
of lorms , see no hope for the future under
Iho present state of affairs. These indi
viduals embrace the most dangerous element
of the republic , balng educated nnd in
fluential and ut least possessed of enormous
wealth. are inn pcoplo of Iho middle
class , who bavo at all times borne Iho bur
den of government. The facilities of
irnvol which railroads bavo afforded has
placed Ihem In possession of facts which the
benefits of free government vouchsafe to its
inhabitants , and Ihoy are beginning to grow
discontented with their lot. The third nnd
most formidable class of enemies of the ad-
minislrallou Is the clerical or church pn-ty
ot Mexico. Since the patriot Juarez
dissolved the union of church nnd
stnte nnd confiscated all ecclesiastical
property and devoted the proceeds to the
state , the most bitter enmity townrt' the
.gqvcrnir.cptjias already been exhibited. On
divers 'occasions iho VloYicnl party hair at-
'templcd ' to override tha law and reassert
Its power , but the iron hand of
, Diaz has warned them with utunis-
lakable significance that no such inter
fere nco would bo tolerated In the reforms
which Juarez inaugurated. Danger most
serious to the Diaz government rests hero.
Priests hayo Iho ear of Iho poorer people , and
lo arouse their zeal and enlist them in re
ligious Warfare would not bo such a dltllcull
manor. Prolostant religion and Free
Masonry'nro both making rapid headway in
Mexico , nnd poth are reeardon as dnngorous
onomlus by the loaders of the clerical party.
If this faction Is nehlud the Garza movement
trouble mny ho anticipated.
