NbwYork, Oct. 30.—There came up In the United States district court today a case which brings out in clear light a contest between the pope of Rome and Leopold II, king of the Belgians, as to their respective authority in the appointment of bishops, a dramatic contest between two bishops, the flight of the famous Canon Bernard to this country with some $1,500,000 in trust funds, his kidnaping and return to Belgium, his incarceration, and, all in all, a thrilling account of his strong devotion to his ecclesiastical superiors. The case is known as that of Leon Bernard against Peter Bowe, exsheriff of this county, and the suit is brought to recover $000,000 which the sheriff turned over to Francois Bourgeois in 1883. The counsel for Canon Bernard are Wilcox & Johns, and for Mr. Bowe is Charles F. Mac- Lane. The case came up on a demurrer to the defendant's plea of statute of limitations. The court has ordered that Dion Boucicault pay $150 per month alimony to his wife, whe recently obtained a divorce from him. Bbavkr Palls, Oct. 30.—Thi Mat-bound limited express on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago read, which pastes through here at 1 in the morning, net with an accident today by which two men were instantly killed. Just between the stations of New Brighton and West Bridgewster, a lew miles east of here, the road makes several winding curves around the banks of the Beaver River, and these curves have always been a sou roe of anxiety to railroad men, because it is practically impossible to see any distanoe ahead during fogs and the like. A number of minor accidents have already hsppened in the vicinity in queetioD, and the place bss come to be regarded almost superstitiously. This morning when the limited, bearing through express and two passenger ooactus from Chicago, left the station here, orders were given to run without stop to Rochester The track wss euppwd to be clear. Wben neering the curves just spoken of, the engineer of the express heard the whistle of an approaching freight Ius'antly surmising tba the track was occupied be reversed bis engine and whistled down brakes, but before tbe train oould be brought to a stand-still a freight, running at the rats of 30 milts an hour, bai dashed into it.

The degree of D.D. was conferred upon Christian Vandeveer, of Michigan. SlBBOflS I "Right here on the threshold," interrupted Forrest, "I object to anything and everything relating to the history of the Clanna-Gael." Then there was a surprise. Counsellor Foster arose. "On behalf of the defendant Beggs," he said, "we want the record to show that no objection is made in part to the introduction of testimony. Mr. Beggs does not want to infringe or impair the rights of the other defendants, but his position Is that he invites the fullest and clearest investigation of hi9 connection with the Clanna-Gael, and he objects to the introduction of no testimony, material or immaterial that will forward such Investigation. He made this assertion when this charge was first made and he repeats it now." The guns of the Trenton and Vandalia, wrecked in the great storm at Samoa, have been landed at San Franoisco by the Monongahela. She also brought the remains of Captain Schoonmaker, of the Vandalia. History of the Case. They are yours next Friday, Saturday and Monday. He Kloped with His Bookkeeper. Wilmington, Del., Oct 80.—J. Alexander Harris, member of the firm of J. D. Harris Sr Co., fruit and vegetable canners, of Milford, has absconded, leaving unpaid debts to the amount ot $10,000 and a wife and four children behind him. It has also been learned that Miss May Ellis, his former bookkeeper, a handsome young woman of 18 or 20 years of age, has eloped with him. In a lotter to her father, Miss Ellis says she met Harris in Philadelphia, where they were married and started at once for Liverpool Warrants have been sent in pursuit of the couple. Harris' wife has gone to her husband's brother's home in Pittsburg. Harris' debts are mostly to farmers who sold him peaches and tomatoes. Merchants in town are also involved. Nearly all Harris' furniture in his house was secretly moved away. Late in the year 1679, Edmond Joseph Dumont, bishop of Cousna, Belgium, was succeeded as bishop by Isidore Joseph Durousseau, an appointment by the pope. It appears that there was a fond amounting to several million francs belonging to the diocese, and of this fund the bishop had charge. Bishop Dumont refused to vacate the place and deliver the fund to his successor. No record is kept of such funds, for the law of Belgium - forbid the maintenance of such funds by the Roman Catholic church, so that only by word of mouth does one bishop give to his successor a statement of the amount. Canada Surprised Him. Gloucester, Mass., Oct 30.—The judgment in the vice admiralty court at Halifax forfeiting the schooner David J. Adams, of this port, for violation of the fishery laws, is of little interest among fishing men here, except to the unfortunate owner of the Adams, who can ill afford the loss. When the vessel was first seized, four years ago, he wanted to bond her, but was advised by the Fishery union to make a test case, and was assured that Canada would have to pay for the vessel and for damages resulting from the seizure. He understood that those interested in having a test case made, and on whose advice he acted, would stand by him in case of defeat, but he is now left to stand the loss alone. ONLY! OMY! ONLY! Pittsburg, Oct. 30.—Bet ween 3,000,000 and 5,000,000 bushels of coal left this port yesterday for the Cincinnati and lower river markets. Late in the evening telegrams announced that the fleets had experienced much difficulty and considerable loss in passing through the obstructions in the channel at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie bridge. The steamer Charles Jutte was foried against a false pier and two barges of coal sunk and others were badly damaged. A later special says that the channel at the bridge is blockaded by the Pierpont also striking the false pier and sinking five barges. Twenty boats are tied up above the bridge.  Coal Barges Sunk. Thousands of pieces! Only new—this season's goods. lias Beggs Squealed? "What does this mean? Has Beggs squealedr was asked of Mr. Mills. The Treasure Carried OIt. Counsel for the people smiled. To the same question Counsellor Ames replied: "We will wait and see whether the state brings any charge of gravity against him. We claim they cannot. If they try it we will put Beggs on the stand." On Friday, Dec. 88, 1879, while Bishop Dumont was out of his palace, in the evening, five men and a locksmith forced their way in, and after a sharp struggle with the retainers of the place, took possession of the house and the treasure, put a new lock on the door, and thus barred out Bishop Dumont The treasure was in two large safes.

He took the funds, which were securities payable to the bearer, and embarked for Canada. He landed in Quebec, whore he deposited 1,800,000 francs with a safe deposit company, thenoe went to Boston and deposited some 1,000,000 francs more, and then to this city, where he deposited some 3,000,000 in francs, or the $600,000 now in dispute. The canon went next to Mexioo, and from there to Havana. Boston, Oct 80.—Judge McKim, of the probate court, having declined to acoept a certified copy of the record of the New York court which pronoiaced George Francis Train insane in 1878, Lawyer Snow sent Mr. Train a letter asking his consent to be interviewed in his cell by experts. To this Mr. Train replied: "No, I know a d d sight more about my own mind than any expert Should judge call for presence in court, ex,- perte can watch and pray there. This is your case, not mine. Lunatics don't employ doctors nor lawyers," This action by Mf. Train further complicates his case.

The Trial of the Triangle. "I didn't acknowledge it last night," retorted the witness with a show of temper. He remembered the meeting of Feb. 8. Capt, F. F. O'Connor made a speech. He asked why it was that they had not received a report of the committee that tried the triangle, as he had heard it read in another camp. He said he would give the name of the camp and who read it if we demanded it. Some one asked for it. I did not hear his reply, and turning to some one near, asked what he said. I understood the man to say that Capt. O'Connor had named Dr. Cronin." New York, Oct 80.—The coroner's jury in the case of Lineman Feeks, who was killed by an electric shock while repairing wires Oct 11, have rendered a verdict that the fatal current originated in an electric light wire, probably belonging to either the Brush, or the United States Electric Light company The jury declared that the present system of overhead wires is a constant menace to the lives and property of citizens. They recommend the extension of the subways as rapidly as possible, and specify many precautions that should be observed so long as overhead wires exist. Verdict In the Feeks' Inquest. Pursued by King Leopold. During all his wanderings Canon Bernard was pursued and watched by emissaries of King Leopold. It appears that the existence of the large fund of the diocese had been a revelation to the king of the Belgians. He claimed that in view of the Belgian laws the 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 francs should escheat to the crown. At Havana Canon Bernard was seized by Leopold's emissaries, was thrown into jail and then, as he asserts, without process of law, he was put on board a vessel and Anally landed in prison at Brussels. No one was allowed to see him. Fight Between s Mare and an Ox. Explosion of a Blast Furnace. For 8 cents per yard, any color, No. 7 all silk crown edge moire.

It stats that the engineers and firemen of both irnina were killed. Another despatch give* the Iom of lifj as nine. No detaila are obtainable. Forrest and Foster objected, saying that O'Connor was being treated as an hostile witness. The fact was that O'Connor was recalcitrant and disposed to be anything but a willing witness. He answered in the negative. lie was considerably rattled when a book was handed to him. It was the record of Camp 20 with the minutes in bi§ own handwriting. The minutes showed that motions had been adopted calling for the report of the .committee on the triangle, to call the attention of the district officer to the report® that were floating around regarding the trial of the triangle, and that a pwtryt committee be appointed by the senior to investigate these rumors.

Mayor Grant is thus temporarily checked in his crusade against the electric light wires. The New Yorks oarned a run in the first inning on Tiernan's two bagger and Ward's three baser. In the sixth they tied the score on Ward's hit and steal, Connor's out, Ward getting to third on the play, and Richardson's sacrifice.

New York, Oct. 30.— The world's fair guarantee fund now amounts to (1,053,146. The committee on site met to-day and decided to announce at the next meeting, Nov. 8, whether any part of Central park shall be used for the site. The uncertainly on this point is recognized as the reason why subscriptions are so slow. The representative of the drug trade has notified the finance committee that the trade would not subscribe until the park question was settled. A# |Jnwilling Witness. Witness denied several times that Foy made a speech suggesting the necessity of looking for spies in the order. The defense then tried to show that the motion to appoint a secret committee became inoperative by a decision of Beggs that no one £au»p could investigate another one, but that the district officer would have to act.

Canon Bernard has brought suit in Boston as well as here. After Bourgeois returned here with the funds from Boston King Leopold discontinued his second suit, the warrant of attachment was thus annulled, and then Bourgeois claimed the securities as receiver and Sheriff Bowe delivered up the (600,000.

Johnson has made to a Press reporter the following authentic statement concerning the Baseball Brotherhood and its intentions: "One evening last summer Ed Hanlon called on me and asked if I did not have a ball ground on my street car line. I told him there were two. Then he spoke of how the League had broken faith with the players so often, and said that he, Ward, Pfeffer and Fogarty, on their trip around the world, had thought of getting capital in each city to secure grounds for them, for which they would allow a fair percentage for their risk, the players to receive a portion of the profits of the thing tjiat they themselves were the real cause of making, and to try to liberate themselves from tho tyranical rule of the League.
