THE DAILY INTER OCEAN, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1893. BROKE IN THE DOORS Lively Scenes at a Thirty-fifth Street Church. DUBS AND ESHER FACTIONS Each Is Again Trying to Dispossess. the Other. Northwestern Branch of.

the Clan-Gael on the Home Rule BIll. As there was a lively time at the Thirty-fifth Street Evangelical Church yesterday morning. The old war of the Dabs- Eisher factions was renewed with vigor. It began Satuaday evening when the Dubs faction quietly removed forty chairs from the church at Thirty. and Dearbora streets and took the harness shop of John Weller et No.

3529 State street. Yesterday morning the Eisherites broke into the church and, despite the removal of seats. held services therein. The dispossessed Dubs people held exercises three during the day in the harness shop. Three years ago at a conference held in the Sheffield Avenue Church, the Esher prople were barred out of the church without the proper authority, it was claimed.

A dozen or more suits followed, and the decision of Chief Justice Bailey, of the Supreme Court, in upholding a decision of Judge Shepard, which was that a conference held in Indianapolis was the legally authorized body to act in all of the church affairs, gave the Esher faction a so far as the right to the pulpit was concerned. At the above conference Bishop Bryfogle, who represented Bishop Esher, who is now in Japan, appointed the Rev. C. Ott minis er of the Thirty-fifth Street Church. The Dubs faction retained their old minister.

the Rev. G. Barth, and the result was that each tried to take possession of the church. Bishop Esher's lawyers obtained an injunction April 17 from Judge Ewing. restraining the Dubs faction from intruding on their property or remov.

ing any furniture or any other belongings of the church. Notwithstanding this fact, it is claimed that the Dubs faction entered the church and removed the organ and forty chairs to the shop of Weller, who is a member of that faction. Here they met yesterday morning and afternoon and held services in the harness shop. The Esher faction, at the hour for church services yesterday morning, went to the church building, only to find the doors and windows securely locked. Some of the members broke in the side door, destroying the lock and splitting a panel of the door, At this juncture a policeman appeared on the scene and threatened to arrest them if they did not desist, and they promised to do 80.

The policeman went away, but shortly afterward they forced an entrance by breaking eeveral windows on the south side of the church, and entering, held services with an attendance of about twenty-five. By this time quite a crowd had congregated about the church corner, and when the officer appeared again he went into the church. When an explanation was made of the facts in the case he again withdrew. The Ether faction say they will now keep a guard day and night until the right to the church property is proved in the courts. The case will again come up before the courts in the course of few days to determine to which party the real estate belongs.

The Rev. C. said to be the legally ap pointed minister on the Ether side, said after the meeting: "I was appointed minister of this church by the Indianapolis conference and intend to hold the church, with the help of my congregation. They have been loyal to me and I appreciate their help in the struggls to gain that which is ours by law." The Rev. George Barth, the new pastor for the Dubs faction, mado the following statement: was the o'd pastor before the present trouble presented i self.

I took the side of Biehop Dubs, believing him to be in the right, and I still believe 80, though the courts' decision so far has been against us. Should the courts finally decide against us as to the church property, we will then start 8 subscription list and build a new church, probably near the present one. Bishop Esher's 800 called on me recently and said that if we attempted to hold services in the church Sunday he would have us arrested for contempt of court. After his call I held a consultation with several members of the church, and we decided not to use the church, but to secure temporary quariers, We then went to the church and took a sufficient number of chairs to accommodate our congregation. I think we had a perfect right to the chairs, as well as to the organ, as the money of our congation paid for both.

Besides we left sufficient number for the other CLAN-NA-GAEL STATEMENT. The Northwestern Council's Attitude Toward the Rule Bill. A secret meeting of the Northwestern Council of the Clan-na-Gael was held at the residence of a prominent Nationalist in this city yesterday to discuss the home rule bill and the question of amnesty for the Irish political prisoners. The council is composed of representatives of branches in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska. Montana and Washington.

The result of their deliberations was embodied in the following address, which was forwarded to the branches and ordered published, CHICAGO, April 23, At this critical stage of the movement for Ireland's freedom we cannot afford to allow the position of our organization to be misrepresented or misunderstood. We have never assumed to be more than active friends and allies of our brothers at home and have always contended for the right of the people of Ireland to decide for themselves as to the settlement of the National question. We never attempted to dictate to them, or to unduly interfere with their action in a matter of which they alone are competent to judge, and we have never denied the right of any body of men outside of Ireland to do 50. We therefore wish the people of Ireland suecess in their efforts to so amend the home rule bill as to make it entirely satisfactory, or, at least, the basis from which a perfect system of self-government may in time be developed. On the question of amnesty our position equally clear.

We hope to see home rule The New Merchant Loves to hang on to his goods. He's been clerk and his fat shelves-full are like the boy's new top. That's natural enough. But just note the old-timer-no fomance in his! Gorged shelves mean some one's over buyinglocked-up money. Watch him sail into the public's pocket through shrewd advertising watch those cloth -dollars turn into silver-dollars.

CAUTION--If you really love to see whiskers grow your goods, don't advertise. accomplished and preceded by will graceful and generous act of clemency that remove all cause for ill-feeling. Our friends should press for amnesty, not on logical technicalities or tentions that ate really injurious to the prisoners regarding the incidents of their trial, but on the ground of broad and liberal statesmanship. But we must not forget that those unfortunate victims of Triangle treachery were almost on the point of being released when an infamous and cowardly dynamite exp'osion in Dublin, planned by miscreants who could not afford to see them liberated, came to close the prison doors and arouse new English prejudices that were fast dying out. The Now York Sun, a most untrustworthy source of Irish news, has recently been made the medium of circulating through the country statement that this organization had resolved to disband so as to merge with the Irish National Federation; that Scotland Yard detective had been introduced into its convention, and that its funds had been spent in paying Pinkerton detectives to hunt down the murderers of Cronin.

These infamous falsehoods are the concoctions of Ireland's worst enemies, the men who had Cronin butchered in cold blood to cover up their own treachery and theft. Lad by the villain wt brought LeCaron into the organization, who supplied him with his information, and whose tool, Buckley, forced the spy by means of false credentials into the "union' convention in 1888, spite the strong protest of Cronin and his collea: ues, their purpose is now to SOW distrust and dissension in our ranks, so that their chief einployers, the Tortes, may be brought back to power and Ireland's hopes blasted. It is a renewal of the sinister work which ended in the Carlson cottaga butchery. Our organization is in a flourishing condition; its treasury has recovered from the wreck brought by the thieves and murderers whom expelled, and not a dollar of our funds WAS expended in connection with the Cronin trial, although our members contributed liberally from their own pockets to sustain American law and defeat a murderous conspiracy that disgraced the Irish name. Stand together, brothers, as of old, and be on your guard against sensational newspaper reports.

Trust to the judgment firmness of our brothers in the old land, and keep clear of demagozuos who would trade on sour sympathies and the prejudices of the unthinking. God save Ireland. The above address is signed by representatives of districts and V. IN FAVOR OF THE NOHE BILL.

Hirsch, and Others Speak- Text of the Resolutions. It was representative meeting that assembled in Central Music Hall yesterday afternoon to protest against the action of the United States Senate in ratifying the dition treaty with Russia, The audience was enthusiastic and every seat in the hall was taken, though there was no rush or jam. Judge M. F. Tuley, of the Circuit Court, was announced, and when he stepped upon the stage there was loud and prolonged applause by the 2,000 people present.

He was introduced by State Senator Edward T. Noonan as presiding officer of the meeting, and the following vice presidents of the meeting occupied seats on the stage: The Rev. 0. P. Gifford, Frank Brown, Bishop Fallows, Dr.

Emil G. Hirsch, Edward F. Bemis, E. Mayer, De Witt C. Cregier, Henry D.

Lloyd, George Schilling, Lester C. Hubbard, Mra. A. C. Stevenson.

Brown, C. S. Darrow, Miss E. C. Starr, A.

Bort, Charles Kozmioski, De. A. Norden, Joseph Errant, and Miss Mary Kenney, Address of Judge Tuley. Judge Tuley, advancing to the rostrum, said in bart: "The inquiry naturally arises, why is it we have interested ourselves in behalf of Russian refugees? It is because eternal vigilance is always essential, and a wrong done to the humblest Russian peasant is a wrong done to you, to me, and the 60,000,000 people who profess allegiance to the Ameri. Can flag.

law affecting the liberty of any citizen of this country is wrong. The purpose of this treaty is to deprive some one of his or her liberty. It is the settled law of nations that there is no moral obligation upon one nation to another to surrender criminals, and 8 refusal is held to be no offense. The law of extradition has risen within the last fifty years, but within my knowledge it has existed only with countries like Mexico and Canada, which are contiguous to this country, and the law waS created for the punishment of criminals and the protection of society. But the conditions should be that the criminal so extradited have a fair hearing.

I ask why it is that the United States should surrender a criminal to Russia? Civil law has DO Bay there; monarchical law has been and is to-day the rule. Would Dishonor the Nation, The fact is the criminal laws of Russia are such as to dishonor any nation that will make with it an extradition treaty. Thomas Jeffer80n told Spain when she sought a similar extradition law: you punish the innocent the United States will be an Later the United States refused such a treaty with China. Now, I would like to know why Chinese justice is any worse than Russian justice. But if we must have an extradition treaty with Russia why must we have it with now and unheard-of provisions! It says that it devolves upon this country the deportation of criminals.

Our present President, Grover Cleveland, is a man whose heart beats with all good people's. I don't Inean to criticise his acts, but parties change and men die. and treaties live forever. The great difficulty is that ex. tradition provides no means of investigation as to a man's guilt.

The best authorities have held that if thera is one rule of law that is bad it is extradition. This is all being done for the personal protection of the Ein. peror of Russia, and I ask you why should Russia be permitted to make the President of the United States and those subordinate to him his policemen to arrest Russian crim. inals? What interest has a Russian, who is an American citizen, in the Czar, the effete monarchs and absolute despotism of the old world? This country is the asylum for the oppressed of all nations, and is the land of the free and shall ever remain so. Should extradition of Russian citizans be attempted we will a peal to a higher Constitution of the United States.

We will see whether a President and about thirty United States Senators can cast stigma of dis. grace upon our country." Letter from George Kennan. Judge Tuley then read a letter from George Kennan, the Russian traveler, expressing his regret at being unable to attend the meeting, and announcing his unalterable opposition fo a treaty of any kind with Russia. 1 am opposed to the that pe ding wouldsend treaty upon the broad ground it back accused, but not necessarily gui ty, Rus. sians to a country where the fundamental principles of civilized jurisprudence are disregarded, where personal rights are contemptously ignored, and where official authority and administrative caprice have usurped, to a great extent, the places of justice and law.

Every person accused of crime, whether it be common crime or political crime, is entitled to fair and impartial trial in an open court, and that is precisely what an accused person in Russia has no certainity of gettine. I do not know whether, at this stage of the proceedings, the treaty can be defeated or not, but I do know that if it can not be defeated it can be rendared worthless and inoperative by the organization of public opinion against and that it may be wholly abrogated and annulled by a higher authority than that of the Senate which carelossly and ignorantly ratified it, namely, the authority of the American people. To that people we now appeal. Bishop Samuel Fallows. Bishop Fallows was the next speaker.

He said, in part: My father was a descendant of one of the judges who sentenced Charles of England. This treaty, as we now, understand it, would compel this country to give up every one who has at any time, in any way, offended Russian despotism. You might as well try to wed immortality to death as to wed a land of liberty to the Czar of Russia. Pay Alaska seven times $7,000,000 for her domain, but never, never, never prostitute America by throwing her into the arms of the worst of European despotisms. F.

O. Brown spake next. He said: In secrecy and executive session the United States has enacted a fugitive slave law. These men, unless they retrace their steps, will find that they have committed political suicide, otherwise the people will inaugurate a process which will make Russian treaty nugatory. this country to be made a convention for the return of criminals? The people who make these laws are mere committees.

and we are told that a clerk or commissioner of the United States Court is to decide who shall be delivered on the demands of Russia. Their decision will be made on spies. the evidence promise of all policemen. detectives mental and my energy, physical. to resist the execution of the mandates growing out of that treaty.

This thing would justify an uprising of the people. The Rev. 0. P. Gifford, The Rev.

Dr. G.ford said: Russia. Dr. E. G.

Hirsch. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch said: What America proposes to-day, poet laureate Tennyson told in his poem "Locksloy Hall." His sweetheart married another. Then be resolved to marry a savage and rear dusky children.

But in a sober moment he resolved otherwise. Bat this country proposes to marry itself to Russia by this infamous treaty. The time has not come that it can be said of the American public that it 18 the croeture of the organized despotism beyond the sea. It is juggling with words to say that we must give back the man who is strug. gling in his blind way to shake off the yoke of oppression.

Must we thrust men into the jaws of Russian de potiem? No, and it will not be done. Let Russia lift Siberia to the level of some of our dog kennels and stables before she clamore for refugees. Lat her make herself country that other countries will respect, and before that time I promise not to raise my hand to make the United States the slave-catcher for The treaty is against the spirit of American liberty. In all International treaties America is treated as a baby. Treaties are adopted behind closed doors and ought to be called spiracies.

C. S. Darrow said, that Russia was a coun try that is only known to respect because of the actions of its outlaws. He thought the United States had as well make a treaty with African Prince. At the close of Mr.

Darrow'e remarks the following resolutions were read and adopted vote. The Resolutions. Resolved. That the unprecedented haste and secrecy with which the extradition treaty with Russia has been negotiated, ratified, and executod, are altogeth inconsistent with the principles and prosperity of government by the people. Resolved, That a people which beasts that it is the refuge of the oppressed of nations cannot from those voluntary exiles against whom no loss of self-respect withhold its shelter other offense is charged than that they used the assumed names and fictitious passports by which they alone could esca to us from a gov.

ernment which at pleasure denies the right of any eubject, however innocent, to free movement and change of domicile. Resolved, That we can not consent that officers of American justice be. used to return presumably innocent refugees to a government which will try them under the martial law it has maintained over the principal part of its territory for twelve years in time of peace, and under the provisions of a penal code by which merely to praise our Daclaration of Independence and the Constitution of tho United States, can be held to be an accomplished crime against the life of the Chief Ruler, triable without jury, counsel, publicity. or appeal and punishab.o by death. torture, and exile, not ouly for the principals, but for any brother, wife, friend, or child who knew and did not tell the police.

Impossible Reciprocity. Resolved, That an extradition treaty treaty, and that there can be no reciprocity without equal services and equal benefts, and these are impossible by a treaty which gives the extradition all the rights of Anglo-Saxon justice, and a nation which asks us to use our police, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, 'accomplices; therefore, that while these inequalities continue there can be no proper ex tradition treaty betwean Russia and the United States. Resolved, That comparison of number of of the chief ruler of America and Russia during the past thirty years, indicates that there exists no organizad society of assassination in Russia, and that no' extraordinary peril, demanding extraordinary measures, threatens the ruler of that country, and Resolved, That tha demand for the extradition to Russia of persons made to appear guilty of an accomplished crime against the life of the Czar, has every appearance of an attempt to obtain the assistance of the goveenment of this country in condemning to death the so whose only crime is to have endeavored to do for their brethren what Washington and the other founders of American Independence did for as. Resolved. That to retura persons so accused to power which will try them by military apd summary courte, unknown in the jurisprudence of any other nation of Europe America, is contrary to the principles of international law, American liberty, and modern progress, is a violation of the unvarying practice of our ment since its foundation, and will never be consciously consented to by the people of this country.

Trial by Jury. Resolved, That we can not forzet that we are descendants of those who in 1776 declared the government ruling them to be an "absolute tyranny," and overthrew it among other reasons for depriving us in many cases of the benefit of trial by jury, and for transporting us beyond the seas to be tried for pretended offenses: and that a decent respect for the opinions of kind compeis us to refuse to deliver 1000 and women who are at our mercy to similar tyranny; and Resolved, That no American, whether he be President, Secretary of State, judge, or court bailiff, can be considered a gentiemen it he runs as a bloodbound after those who have fled to us 48 a city of refuge to catch them for fate to which he would never surrender himself or his countrymen. That when we abandon the rights of the foreign brother who claims our protection we begin the abandonment of our own rights, and that the eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty, profiting by the mistakes of past civilizations, if it wishes to insure that the stitutions of America are never turned against the freedom of Americans, must see to it that they are never turned against the freedom of any one, great or humble, at home or abroad. Slaves of Tyranny. Resolved, That unless the Constitation of the United States is a heresy, people who live under government which rules them without consent, taxes them without representation, deprives them of life, liberty and property without the process of law, and denies their right to think, speak, or even pray for a redress of griefances.

are slave: that those who must fly because they asked for freedom are fugitive slaves; that a law to return them by force is fugitive slave law and that any attempt to enforce other fugitive slave law in this country will result as before in a terrible conflict between the law and the conscience of the people, and in the re-establishment of that regrettable but glorious illogality, the underground road for fugitive slaves to Canada, where under another dag the oppressed will find protection if it is denied under the stars and stripes. Resolved, That we abhor murder by surpriss and treachery, and the greater the assasein the greater our borror; and, Resolved, That as between a government which murders its subjecte by treachery and surprise and an individual who retaliates the government is the worse, becauss the greater, and that sense of justice forbids us to interfere to help the greater offender, American Freedom, Resolved, That none can be true Americans who forget that America is America, and that we are free, prosperous and happy because our great forefathers braved the gallows, the dungeon, and battletield to win for us the rights of men, and that our inherited wealth of liberty moves us to the deepest sympathy for the lovers of liberty in Rossia, aud anywhere, who are seeking to open the way to freedom for their countrymen, and the smaller their number the more reverent the homage we pay to their courage and sellsacrifice. Resolved, That we extend our grateful thanks for its warnings and information to the American press, which has been in this affair the only representative and friend of the people. Resolved, That we request our administration at Washington to undo the dishonor of this treaty by giving immediate notice to the Russian Government of determination, after the sary formalities have been fulfilled; and, Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed transmit by copies the of these chairman of resolutions this the meeting Preei- to to dent of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Legislature of Illinois, and the tives of this State in the Senate of the United States. POLICE ROUGHLY TREATED.

Nassau People Kill One of the Bahamas Constabulary, NEw YORK, April 23: -Nassau advices, under date of April 17, say: Some months ago the Bahamas Government sent to Barbados for a company of men, sixty strong, who were put through military drill by Captain Learmouth, late of the Lancers. Taese men were brought to Nassau and called the Banemas constabulary. For month or so the people have complained of the brutality of the constabulary. So incensed were the people of Grantstown that on the night of April 1 they burned the guard room, beat the constabulary and stoned Captain Learmouth. To-day a constable had his brains beaten in in the centre of the city of Nassau.

When the rest of the force heard of this outrage they rushed out with fixed bayonets, cleared the streets and wounded several persons. An attack of the people from Grantstown is expected momentarily. The force has been kept in the barracke, for if they venture out they will surely be murdered. CHICAGO HORSE MARKET. F.

It was last Monday evening, about o'clock, according to the girl's story, when she was walking up and down Polk street in the immediate vicinity of her home. She was with several friends and playmates, but had for moment strolled short distance from them. Suddenly she was accosted by swarthy-looking man, who WaS accompanied by woman.

But Lizzie struggied vigorously, whereupon the woman came to the man's assistance, and the two dragged the girl along West Polk street to Desplaines, thence north to Harrison. Here she was taken up a dingy stairway and locked in a room alone. The girl deciares that it was Charles Johnson who throttled her and that the woman with him was Mrs.

Maud Krinkie, his sister. The house where she was taken, she alleges, was that of their mother, Mrs. J. Barnett, The trio lived on the second floor of the frame building on the northwest corner of Desplaines and Harrison streets, occupying two poorly furnished rooms. The girl Bays that: 8001 after she was locked in one of these Mrs.

Barnett and her daughter entered and threatened her with death, if she should make any outcry or attempt to escape from the house. Then, according to her story, the two women were rejoined by Johnson, and they all started to the Northwestern depot add boarded an outgoing train. At this point the girl's story becomes volting in the extreme. She says that they left the train at Calvary and proceeded rapidly to the house of Gus Miller, who lives near the cemetery. Johnson remained with her, she claims, and the women returned to the city.

According to her story she WAS kept at Miller's house for four nights. Found in Miller's House, In the meantime the paranta of the girl, alarmed by her prolonged absence from home Monday evening, notified the Maxwell Street police. Mr. Brookbank told them he had seen Johnson and his sister speak to the girl once or twice, and although he had warned her to have nothing to do with them, he feared they were responsible for her disappearance, Oa the strength of Mr. Brookbank's suspicion, Detectives Golden and Harding went to Mrs.

Barnett's house. There they found the mother and daughter, but Johnson had not been there for some time. For four days the officers worked on the case, and Friday they determined upon placing the two women under arrest. This WAS done, and the same day they learned that the girl had been taken to Calvary. Friday evening they went there and found Lizzie locked in an upstairs room.

She was removed to her home and Miller was brought to the city and locked up at the Maxwell Street Station. The same night, fearful lest the girl would be molested at her home, her parents consented to her removal to the Harrison Street Annex. The police then contiued their search for Johnson, and early yesterday morning they found him ia Joseph Blouse's saloon, at No. 366 Clark street, He was arrested and taken to the Maxwell Street Station. He refused to say anything about the alleged abduction and his mother, sister and Miller also maintained the strictest silence.

Johnson is 24 years old and does nothing. so far as is to gain a livelihood. His sister, Mrs. Krinkie, is 25 years old, STABBED THREE TIMES. George Reynolds, Roofer, Murdered by Unknown Men, Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning the body of George Reynolds was found lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk at the corner of Loomis and Rebecca streets.

A bloody knife lying within ten feet of the body told the story of his death. There was every indi. cation of murder, three wounds, two on the head and one just above the stomach, being found on the body. The discovery was made by James Donahue, a gateman on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Donahue summoned the police, and the body was removed to the County Morgue by the Maxwell street patrol.

When the body of Reynolds was discovered it lay on its right side, the right arm raised above his head and his left hand clinched by his side. There was no evidence of a struggle, the circumstances pointing to his having been struck down from behind, and then stabbed while falling. Either of the wounds would have been sufficient to have killed the man, and it is doubtful if he made any resistance. The position in which the body was found and the location of the wounds coatradict the theory of suicide. It would have been impossible for the man to have inflicted the wound on the back of the head himself.

The knife found near the body in short and sharp, and is similar to those used by roofers. There was nothing of value in the pockets of the dead man, and he had been seen drinking in a number of loons during the night, with considerable money in his possession, the theory of robbery is entertained by the police. The ficers at work on the case made five arrests yesterday, and they are confident they have captured the guilty man. George Reynolds, the murdered man, was a tar-roofer and was about 30 years old. He was known 88 hard drinker and was frequently under arrest for drunkenness.

He WAB unmarried and lived at No. 1112 West Twelfth street, WITH PITCHFORKS AND HATCHETS. August Cross Badly Wounded in a Freefor-all Fight, August Cross was badly wounded in a free- for-all fight at the home of John Candee, No. 89 Tilden avenue, yesterday afternoon. Cross and Candee quarreled Over the possession of horse blanket and the former finally called Candee liar.

Candee and his wife thereupon attacked Cross with a pitchfork and hatchet, inflicting several wounds about his head and back. The police removed the wounded man to his home, while his assailants were locked up at the Desplaines Street Station. All the parties are Italians. Omaha Schoolmaster Acquitted. OMARA, April 23.
