Protestant Sunday School Teachers Shut Out Of The Joliet State Prison. Chicago, March 10. A special from Joliet, 111., says Captain Stephen, of the State Penitentiary, has served notice on the Governor that he will not be dictated to. Last Sunday the chaplain fssued an order that none but Lutherans and Catholics should teach in the prison Suuday Schools. This order caused much dissatisfaction, as all the Protestant churches In the city have been represented in the prison Sunday Sohool.

When Governor Aitgeld heard of the action of the chaplain he promptly issued a proclamation declaring that all religious denominations should be allowed equal rights in the state institutions. But the chaplain refused to pay any attention to the governor's proclamation. He says he is at the head of the religious department of the penitentiary and he proposed to run it. "I have no desire to create any sensation in the newspapers," said he. "In fact, I don't take time to read them and I don't know what they say about me.

I will not disturb the Catholic Sunday bat as for the other one I will run it as I see fit." According to the order issued by the chaplain last Sunday the present teachers of the Sunday School representing all the Protestant churches in the city are shut out and their places will be" taken by students in the Lutheran theological 'seminary at Springfield who will teach the convicts their catechism.

Eefresh 1 CO i 4 1 Arguments Beins: Heard This Afternoon. A SENSATION PROMISED. The Suit Is Brought to Delay Construction Worlc So It Is Charged Against the Seiber-lings That a New Council May Be Elected Other Court News. The injuction suit brought by the village of Cuyahoga Falls, on relation of O.

Wilcox, solicitor, against the city clerk and mayor of the Falls Council to prevent the legal publication of the ordinance granting the Akron Cuyahoga Falls Street Railway and Power Company an extention ol its franchise, was continued from noon to 3 o'clock by consent and is now being heard. T. F. Walsh represents the railroad company, whild Ed. F.

Voris represents the General Electric Company, another defendant corporation. The defendants claim that the suit was brought at tbe instigation of the Seiberling interest to delay the construction of tbo road until a now council can be elected which will bo more friendly to the Sieberling interests. If work under the extension can be prevented until the new council is elected the next council may repeal the extension. If work is begun, however, this will be impossible. T.

F. Walsh, attorney for the Akron and Cuyahoga Falls Railway and Power Company, claims that there is no ground to the charges and that no court will grant a. continuance of the injunction and that the only trouble will be a brief delay in the work of construction. He also strongly censures Mr. Wilcox for the position he has taken in the matter and makes mysterious hints of something sensational which will develop in the hearing of the case.

Common Pleas Court is still grinding away at the trial of the rapists, George Rogers still being on trial. Shortly before noon the defense rested and the State put on the rebuttal and the court gave each side an hour aud a half to argue. The case of Eli J. Boerstler vs. Thos.

Wasuinoton, March 10. Senators and Kepresentativcs who called on President Cleveland this morning received confirmatory evidence that Mr. Cleveland does not intend to give offices to those who bad been favored under the previous Democratic administration. Ex.Representative Hemphill, of South Carolina, called expressly for the purpose of ascertaining whether the report were true and he received an affirmative answer from Mr. Cleveland.

It is likely, of course, that exceptions will bo made in rare instances.

Hereafter the Cabinet will meet at 11 o'clock on Tuesdays and Friday's. FREE SILVER MEN.l They Propose to Control the United States Senate. Washington, March 10.

A FINE HEW BLOCK, TIio One Henry E. Abbey Will Erect on Main St. WITH SIX STORE ROOMS. Tiic JI. O'Xeil Co Has Already Secured Two.

And Part of the Second Floor A Big Addition to Their Store-An Ornament to the Street. Yesterday's Beacoh and Kepubucas noted the visit of Henry E. Abbey, of Kew York, in this city, and of hia arrangements for erecting; a buaineFS block on bis Main street lots. As is invariably tbo caeo hia presence here occasioned a revival of tbe rumor that he. was to erect an Opera House.

It stoma that every time Mr. Abbey's name is mentioned here it ia naturally and inseperably connected with the subject of a new play bouse. Mr.Abboy wasbusyall day 'arranging for his new building but was seen by a Bkaco and Kkpubmcan reporter at the Erie depot where hs took Train 4 at 4:20 for 'ew York.When approached concerning the object of his visit here he taid: "No, I'm not arranging to build an opera house but hare just cloed a contract with Col. D. V.

Thomas here to erect a business block on my lot on Main street, directly north of the M. O'Xeil Co. block, which building- tbe new structure will adjoin." Col. Thomas explained that the building would be a two-story brick with a 120 foot front and ICO feet deep. The front will ba of metal similar in style to tbe new Schumacher block on that street.

On the ground lloor there will be six large store rooms, two of which have already been engaged by tbe M. O'Xeil Company. In the second floor there will be about 20 ofSce rooms. It will bo thoroughly modern and substantial with a large plate glass front, will cost about $25,000 or $30,000 and will be built so that a third and fourth story may easily bo added if found necessary. Col.

Thomas was in Jew York three weeks ago, saw Mr. Abbey and practically contracted for the building then. "Work will be commenced as soon as the weather will permit and It will be pushed through to a finish as rapidly as possible. The contract was closed yesterday but Mr. Abbey will return in about three or four weeks to arrange details of the work.

Before train time Mr. Abbey talked interestingly for a few minutes of theatrical work in which he stands at the head of the managers of the world today. "Tbe burning of my own house in Kew York has taken me practically out pf the business the past year. When that is rebuilt I will have for the coining year the management and control nf the Metropolitan and Abbey thearers of Kew Yorit, the Tremont or Boston, and the Auditorium, of Chicago, 111." 'What Will be your attractions the coming season "I will have Coquelin, the famous French comedian, Irving and i Terry, grand opera and others. They will all be very superior attractions and as far as can' be seen the reason will be a wot successful one." "How do you account for tbo very bad season just past?" he was as Wed.

"Well-it has been an unfortunate year. There has been moro failures probably than ever before and among them some very excellent companion went down. I can account for it'in -way except that in general it was a bad ebotr year. As I said, I have not been personally interested very much mid have not 'noted the causes very carefully. But tor the present year I predict a great success.

Mr. Abbey is arranging for the greatest spectacle ever seen in the world to be presented at tho World's Fair The short time before bis dor parture rendered it impossible to secure any particulars of that event irom him. He closed a contract last week with the Kne Kail road for the transportation of 1.0U0 people from New YorK to Chicago for the event. Special trains wiil be run to accommodate this immense crowd of performers. M.

of the M. O'Xeil Dry Goods Coa puny, was eeen this morning by a Bt.tcoN and in reference to the above matter. He saul: 'Yes, wo have engaged the two rooms a the south end of the new building and will connect them to our present room by a large arch in the center of wall: The two rooms will be made into one, 40x100 feet. It is not for auy new or any especial department, but is made necessary by the growth of our business and our present crowded quarters. In addition to those two rooms we have leased the rear of the second floor, a room 20 bv 120 feet extending the entire length of the building.

This will be occupied as a cloaic manufactory and will be separated from the offices in the front of the second floor by a hall. With tbe new rooms we will have a first floor capacity in our entire Btore of 60,000 square feet. It is expected that the new block will be completed by tha first of AuKust." It was Mr. Abbey's intention originally to build only 80 feet deep but the plans were changed to the above at the last minute. Although the plans now are for a two-siory block it is possible that before it is completed this may bo changed and a three or four-story Luiluing be erected.

This Morning's Court. There seems to be a fixed number in police court proceedings, there having been mat numoer oi pneioners mere per day for a number of days past. They represent of course tbe commonest offenses, drunks and vags. This morning the drunks, William Kay and William Wait, were taxed the usual Y-iTMf rF mn nrdinnrv nlsin lwinw. sni costs.
