POSTAL CASLS RESULT IN MISTRIAL.
Defense Elated at failure of Government
to Make Out Clear Ccse.
The jury in the case of Daniel
Vouchees Miller and Joseph M. Johns,
on trial in the federal court in Cin
cinnati on charge of an alleged con
spiracy to extort a bribe, reported
shortly before midnignt Saturday
night, that it was unable to agree, and
was discharged by Judge Thompson.
The trial attracted unusual attention,
as it wa3 the first one under the many
recent indictments for alleged frauds
in the po&tofflce department. Four
days were devoted to the taking of
evidence, and thy fifth day to t.ho very
vigorous arguineffts of District Attor
ney Sherman McPherson and Assist
ant Thomas 11. Darby, for the govern
ment , and. Hiram H. Rulkou and
Charles W. Baker,- for the defendants.
Genera) Robb and many clerks from
the department at Washington; Chief
Cochran and many other postoffice in
spectors and others from Washington,
were »prefent assisting in the prosecu
tion, and the charge to the jury was
an unusually strong one.
There were dramatic scenes during
the clQsing day, when the wives of
the defendants and others wept, espe
cially during the argument of Attor-
Ui >y Rulison.

GROVER TALKS
AT A BANQUET
Dirty Politics and Waning Na
tional Patriotism Dissected.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP THEME
Former President Handies the Subject
in a Masterly Manner and Sug
gests a Remedy for Evils.
“Give to our people something that
will concentrate their common affec
tion and solicitous care, and let that
bo the country's good; give them a
purpose that stimulates them *0 unite
in lofty endeavor, and let that purpose
be a demonstration of the efficiency
and beneficence of our popular rule.”
This was the solution oSered by
former President Grover Cleveland, ?s
a remedy for corrupt politics, in a
speech before the memb«rs of the
Commercial Club of Chicago at their
annual banquet given Wednesday
night.
He received an enthusiastic recep
tion by the two hundred banqueters
when he appeared at the speaker's ta
ble.
Mr. Cleveland took as his topic, ;
“Good Citizenship,” prefacing his re- j
marks by saying that he understood
himself to be under bond “to keep the
peace, if possible, by eschewing poli
tics.” He likened the to® prevalent in
difference of citizens to their politi
cal duties to the disposition often man
ifested by the members of our church
es, who, "having made profession of
their faith and joined the church, ap
pear to think their duty done when
they live honestly, attend worship reg
ularly, and contribute liberally to
church support.”
Of the odious and detestable evils
that are threatening our national life
—the open and notorious corruption of
the suffrage, the buying and selling of
political places for money, the pur
chase of political favors and privi
leges, and the traffic in official duty for
personal gain—Mr. Cleveland spoke at
some length, saying in part:
“These things are confessedly com
mon. Every intelligent man knows
that they have grown from small be
ginnings until they have reached
frightful proportions of malevolence;
and yet respectable citizens by the
thousands and hundreds of thousands
have looked on with perfect calmness,
and with hypocritical cant have de
clared they are not politicians, or with
silly pretensions of faith in our
strength and luck, have languidly
claimed that the country was prosper
ous, equal to any emergency, and
proof against a-11 danger.
“Resulting from these conditions in
a manner not difficult to trace, whole
some national sentiment is threatened
with utter perversion.”
In touching upon the relations of
labor and capital, be said:
“We now see its worst manifesta
tion in the apparently incorrigible dis
location of the proper relation be
tween labor and capital. This of it
self is sufficiently distressing; but
thoughtful men are not without dread
of sadder developments yet to come.
There has also grown up among our
people a disregard for the restraints
of law, and a disposition to evade its
limitations, while querulous strictures
concerning the action of our courts
tend to undermine popular faith in the
course of justice; and last, but by no
means least, complaints of imaginary
or axeggerated shortcomings in our
financial policies, furnish an excuse
for the flippant exploitation of all
sorts of monetary nostrums. ’
“I hasten to give assurance that I
have not spoken in a spirit or gloomy'
pessimism. I shall be the last of all
our people to believe that the saving
grace of patriotism among my coun
trymen is dead or will always sleep. !
know that its timelv revival and activ
ity means the realization of the lof
tiest hopes of a free nation.
Good Men Musi- Arouse.
“It is ns clear as noonday that if
the patriotism of our people is to be
aggressively vigorous and equal to our
national preservation, and if polities
is to subserve a hieh purpose instead
of degenerating to the level of a cun
ning game, our good men in every
walk of life must arouse themselves
to consciousness th't the safety and
best interests of their country involve
every other interest; and that by ser
vice in the field of good citizenship
they not only do patriotic duty, but
in a direct way save for themselves
the share of benefits due them from
our free institutions.

FOURTEEN DIE IN WRECK.
Deadly Collision Between Work Train
and a travel Train on Railrcai
in New Jersey.
A special from Trenton, N. J., says:
fifteen persons were killed and about
forty more injured in a collision
which occurred Saturday on the Bel
vldere division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company near Washington's
Crossing. The persons killed and in
jured were laborers who wero on a
work train and wer9 on way to
work at Washington’s Crossing to re
pair washouts along the road. Four
teen bodies were soon taken from the
wreck and one more was known to be
under the debris. The dead men, with
ene or two exceptions, are Italian la
borers who reside in Trenton, the oth
erg being negroes.
The train bearing those killed and
injured was made up of two coaches,
in which the men were riding, and. two
fiat ears in the rear. The train stop
ped near W r ashington‘s Crossing to re
ceive orders. While standing on the
track it was run into from tne rear by
a gravel train. The two flat cars tele
scoped the two coaches. There were
about 180 men on the cars. As soon
as the accident happened the Italians
became frantic and made an attempt
to bodily harm the crew of the gravel
train. Word was sent to Trenton for
police assistance, hut the men were
finally quieted by the foreman.
The railroad officials aro reticent as
to how the aocident occurred, but it
is believed that the gravel train failed
to see any adverse signal or that the
flagman of the first train failed to go
back a sufficient distance.

Zionists Troubled by Restlessness on Part
cf Vast Audience.
Five thousand people were turned
away from Madison Square Garden,
New York, Sunday afternoon, after all
the seats in the building had been fill
ed with a great crowd curious to see
John A. Dowie on his first appearance
before a New York audience. Fully
14,000 people were in the garden a:
2:30 when the services began.
So many of the audience began to
leave during the service that Dowie
entered a protest, saying:
“If this is New York, and this is a
typical New York congregation, I am
in the face cf a new experience. 1
think that some cf the people who
came in must have thought that this
was a Buffalo Bin show. I wonder if
the congregations of the churches
here enter and leave as they pleace. I
reckon we have learned something
and will be prepared hereafter.”

“Once we were engaged to play at a

we had no rekearsal. We reached tho

were silently weeping, when suddenly
the trombone gave a loud, long blast,
enough to wake the dead. Some of
the mourners fainted, the players
stopped in consternation, and I jumped
over chairs and racks to where the
trombonist, a dull, heavy German, sat,
stolidly gazing at his music.
