DeaDe, Moore, Morris, Burr, Patrick
and Kelly present.

a

roittee was instructed to appoint
Charles Floyd a special policeman at
the Griffin cotton factory, his pay to
given by the company.
A motion was carrier! to pay the
manager of the last city election.
Other matters of minor import¬
ance were also passed upon.
How to Judge Our Amusements.
All who ever heard Bishop Beck¬
with will agree with Rev. Chancey
Williams In his beautiful tribute ata
memorial service held in St. Paul’s
church, Augusta, Ga., who said,
“Bishop Beckwith was born an ora¬
tor. The great gift he had was a
gift from God, and he used it as he
used all other gifts in the service of
the God who gave them. We can
understand how a man with jjhis
gift and temperament wouldnotonly
be fascinated by the splendid trage¬
dies of Shakespeare, but would re¬
spond with enthusiasm to the genius
of a great tragedian. It was when
Bishop Beckwith was just growing
into manhood that Edwin Forrest
was at the heighth of his fame, and
nothing illustrates better the char-'
acter of the man than an incident he
told us. He was explaining the lim¬
itations whicn we must all set to our
liberty m the matter of our amuse¬
ments. He said he bad found the
only safe rule was to give up abso¬
lutely anything that stood in the
way of our religious duty. He had
gone to the opera on a Saturday
Might to see Forrest in Richard III.
The next day was communion Sun¬
day. He had never turned his back
on the altar in bis life since he was
confirmed. But upon that day he
eould hot think of anything but
Forrest and Richard III. His will
seemed powerless to drive the im¬
pression out of his mind and when at
last the communion offices began
he turned and went sadly out of the
church. It was the first time be had
ever left the table of the Lord, but
he had never went into a theater
again. He deliberately put the ploy
out of his life the moment it clashed
with his duty to his God.’’

KINCAID'S TRIAL.
Great I n threat, Manifested
Washington.
Noted Case Now Before
Criminal Court.
Many AY ((—The Taking of Much
Kviilrno* May He Dispensed With—Who
Represent the Defence—Tlie Case One ol
the Ureateat interest of Any Washing¬
ton Criihfnai Trials.
Washington, Marcli 24— In the Kin¬
caid trial* much will depend upon the
evidence of Samuel Donelson, of Tennes¬
see. ex-doorkeeper of the house. He
was. eyewitne.4 perhaps, the only person who was
an to the tragedy, though
the prosecution claim that they have an¬
other witness, a man from Boston, who
was behind Kincaid on the capitol steps
when he fired the fatal shot.
About ---- fifty witnesses t,. VU v».v« have *«• • v been ouui- sum-
moned to testify in the case, but the at-
......... torneys on both , sides admit that not
more than a dozen can give any import¬
ant evidence. The new prosecuting at¬
torney for the government, Mr. Cole,
announces that he will prosecute Kin¬
caid to the end, and a bitter contest may
be expected.
Senator Voorhees, who is ill at Hot
but Springs, Ark., will be unable to attend,
the defendant is fortunate in having
such an able, alert and strong array of
counsel as found in the persons of Judge
Smith* Wilson, *ien. Grosvenor and Mr. Morris
and Congressmen Paynter, Caruth, Stone, McCreary
and ex-Congcessman Polk
Laffoon are expected to testify that the
deceased frequently made threats that
he would kill Kincaid. The case is at¬
fair tracting much attention here, and bids
to be one of the most famous crimi¬
nal trials that has ever -----^ taken place in
tlie country.
One of the brothers and tlie oldest son
of the deceased are here, interesting
themselves vigorously in the prosecution.
They feel satisfied that the governmen 4
ivill make the best fight it can against
Kincaid, and have, therefore, employed
no outside counseL
AN URGENT INVITATION.
VmW Cordiality Makes Itself Very Cleai
to Van Vleet.
Gaisobville, Tex... March 24—Sev¬
eral weeks ago Assistant Superintend¬
ent Nan Vleet of the Santa Fe railroad,
a man 60 years old, was charged with
having said that there were “no ladies
in Temple.”
Van Vleet was waited upon by a com¬
mittee aud informed that he must leave
the town in twelve hours and not return
except at his peril. The higher official*
of the Santa Fe were highly offended at
the outrage, and it was believed by
many of the Temple citizens that the
company would move their shops from
that city. Leading business men peti¬
tioned the general superintendent of the
road to send Van Vleet back to that
town, assuring his protection.
Tlie petition was granted, and last
week the assistant superintendent re¬
turned from his home in Michigan, ac¬
companied by his family, and again took
up his official duties. But it seems there
was fear among the road’s officials that
Van Vleet might Be interfered with
again, and several private detective*
were employed by to keep watch,'one of
whom stayed the side of Van Vleet
ail the time.
About lt» o’clock at night, while Van
Vleet, accompanied by his private guard,
was on his wav from his office, they
were suddenly confronted by seven
masked men with drawn revolvers, who
made Van Vleet and the detective throw
up their hands.
The two men were marched before the
Wliite Caps to the edge of the city,where
the detective was stripped of his cloth¬
ing and terribly lashed with whips. The
assistant superintendent pleaded with
the men to spare him. They finally con¬
sented to do so with the understanding
that he was to leave ' * town at once never
to return. The guard, more m0re dead ( * ea ? than
alive, wgs reclothed and inarched off in
Ann one direction ) e/wlf 1 A,, while itrhlln Van \7 om Vleet \ / I was — — com¬ — ...
pelled The official to go in an opposite direction.
was driven south several
miles to a small station, where lie took
a train for Galveston.
The detective was also notified that il
he showed himself again he would be
killed on sight.
A Deadly Icicle,
St. Paul, March 24—At 3 o’clock in
in the afternoon, at the C hambe r
Commerce ..... building, of _ Robert
corner
and Sixth streets, 100 people saw a huge
Icicle fall from the eaves on the north
side of the building just as a young
woman turned into Sixth street, Half a
dozen pieti shouted to her to look out,
but they were too late. The mass of iee

PARNELL AND HEALY,
1 hey are Still Blckrrinc, at Each oilier.
Timothy Mealy Mobbed.
Cork,, March 24— It is announced
here that Parnell has writteu a letter to
the Cork leadership committee,in which
lie says that the tone of studied insult
and untruthful character of the state¬
ments made in Healy’s letter accepting
his (Parnell’s) challenge, that they both
resign thoir seats in parliament and
come forward as candidates for re-elec¬
tion, debars him from communicating
directly Yvith Heaiy orany of the latter'*
friends.
However, he has placed his applica¬
tion for Chiltem Hundreds in Mr. No¬
lan’s hands, requesting him to forward
fore it directly, the electors if Heaiy of submits himself be¬
the division, of Cork
which he represents.
Maurice ilealy, when questioned about
Parnell's letter to the leadership com¬

refuge in a dressing room. A man ran

glasses, and fear is expressed that his
sight may be destroyed.
A LABOR ALLIANCE.
Tlie Old Labor Party Resurrected in New
----- England.
Boston, March 24—A new factor in
Massachusetts politics, which threatens
to make itself as prominent in New Eng¬
land and all the other eastern states as
the Farmers’ Alliance has done in the
west, lias been born in this city.
It will be known as the Industrial Al¬
liance, and proposes to co-operate with
the Farmers' Alliance. It is the old
Labor party in a new form, but it is bet¬
ter organized, and, if reports are true, it
will be a hustler.
Tlie parents of the new* party have
met in this city and given the infant po¬
litical party a good send off. Knights of
Labor, Trades Unions, Nationalists, So¬
cialists, and all others in favor of legis¬
lation for the industrial classes were in¬
vited to join the new* party. With this
end in view, the Alliance has put forth
the declaration of principles, the most
important of which ar<-:
1 . Government control of railways,
telegraph, electric express lines, mines, pis and
works, and all other natural and
private the monopolies which aro oppressive
to 2. That people.
all local natural monopolies,
such as street railways, gas and electric
lighting, should be placed under munici¬
pal control.
13. Equal rights of sutfr-ige, regardless
of sex, free coinage of silver, and the-
election of United States testators bv
popular vote.
Playing Funny.
Chicago, March 24 —Charles Britton
went into the barber shop of F. Pierfoio
and, seating himself, called upon any
member of the Mafia in the shop to give
him a shave, and announced that he had
a hand in settling the New Orleans
troubles, being a member of i:he mob
that stormed the jail.
For a moment the Italiaus looked at
the customer and then fell on him en
masse. When the avenger landed iii
the street he looked as if iie had been iu
a collision with i% locomotive. The ter¬
rific thumping he received with pokers,
chairs and billets of firewood may result
fatally.
Three barbers—Alexander Nicoso, Mi¬
chael Terelo and Jaoobriario—have been
arrested, charged ivith .-issault on the
“avenger.” in Britton, it is believed, was
not New Orleans at all, simply trying
to be funny.
Another (tank Gone.
New York, March 24.—-The Washing¬
ton National bank did not open its doors
Tuesday. The suspension is due, it is
said, to the undue latitude accorded the
friends of President Sherman in the way
of loans. Depositors, it is said, will not
suffer materially by the suspension.
The bank began business last June,
with a paid up capital of $300,000. The
net deposits are placed' only about $600,000. The
bank will be fex^iiner in the hands of Na-
tional Bank Hepburn. The
amount definite, of impaired capital is rather in¬
but is estimated to be about
$60,000.

The Funeral tiwalliy-siervlce* at tlie
Church—No Parade <»f Uniformed ltank«
But Earnest Feeling: Among Friend*.
Washington, March 24-Funeral
services were held at 11 o’clock Tuesday
morning over the remains of. the lato
Confederate general, Joseph E. John¬
ston, at St. John’s Episcopal church.
The services were of the simplest char¬
acter; no attempt at decorating tlie
church was made, and no flowers, save
a wreath of immortelles on the coffin,
were visible.
Though tbo church was filled with
battle scarred veterans there was not a
uniform visible to announce the fact.
The last great soldier of the civil con¬
flict was’buried as a civilian, not as a
soldier.
Rev. Dn. Douglas, rector of St. John’s
church, assisted by Rev. Dr. McKim,
the confederate chaplain of Johnston’s
command, during the war conducted the
services.
He read the lesson from St. Paul to
the Corinthians, after which the choir
Hang the beautiful h\ mn: "Justus lam."
Dr. Douglas then recited the Episcopal
burial service.
“Rock of Ages” was tlieu rendered by
the choir, and the congregation joined
with fervor with the rector in reciting
the Apostle’s creedand the Lord’s prayer,
with which the service closed.
There were few dry eyes among the
aged, bowed veterans as the remains of
Gen. Johnston were borne from the
church to the hearse by members of the
Confederate association of Washington,
who followed the old veteran throughout
the war.
The procession to the hearse passed
through federate open file d£ Leo camp of Con¬
Veterans, of Alexandria, Va.
Mrs. Mitchell, sister of Gen. Johnston,
was too old to attend tlie funeral.
The immediate family present was ex-
Governor McLeon of Maryland, and his
soh; Dr. George II. Johnston, of Rich¬
mond, ami Mrs. Susan Taliaferro.
Then came representatives of the Con¬
federate association nf Baltimore.
The remains were conveyed to Balti¬
more on the 1:30 p. m. trafin.

cept the position of musical director of
the World’s Fair.
In the recent bombardment of Pisagua,
Chili, by the insurgent war ships, nearly
3,000 people perished. The casualties
were part y caused by the explosion of
large kerosene oil tanks and nitrate
stores located in the town.
The treasury department has an¬
nounced that after July 1 a change will

THE UTOPIA ACCIDENT.

<*f ili«« < » afmrv.
Gibiialtak. March 24—At the inquest
over the second batch of Imdres reoovered
from the wrecked steauier Utopia, Capt.
McKcaguc volunteered the following
statement:
“After rounding Europa Point I head¬
ed for tlie usual anchorage und ordered
half speed. Two minutes later I ordered
■slow,’ anti I stopjicd the engines between
Europii Point ami New Mole Head. I
Curlew, than suddenly and observed sighted anchorage tlie man-of-war crowd¬
ed with other ships.
“I immediately starboarded tlie helm,
there being a heavy sea and an extreme¬
half ly strong tide. Wheu the Utopia had
cleared (he hows of the Anson, I
ported 1 he helm in order to bring the
Utopia’s slern out. hut on account of the
strong current the Utopia was unable to
clear the Anson's ram.
‘ ‘Owing to the thickness of the weather
1 could not calculate precisely the length
of the Anson’s fore deck and ignored the
ram. I did not know the fleet was in
the bay. The proper lookout, consisting
of the mate and six men, waa kept, but
nobody the saw the Curlew, or the condition
of anchorage until the helm was
starboarded. We were unable to anchor
behind the rock, because we were run¬
ning heavy short of coal in consequence of
weather on the voyage.”
The first officer testified that it wee a
difficult position the steamer was placed
in and that any of the alternatives
would have been attended with difficul¬
ty, owing to the weather and the aea.
Both he and tbe third officer corrobo¬
rated the captain’s statement, and justi¬
fied the course lie took as the best that
could be taken.
The coroner permitted counsel to ad¬
dress the jury for McKeague, The jury,
consisting unanimously of twenty-three members,
decided that the cause of
the disaster was accidental.
The relief committee collected a sum
of money for the survivors. 182 of whom
have returned to Naples on board the
Assyria.

^liristian riots have occurred in the dis¬
tricts around Chung King, China.

All White Or)gli»filly.
Reading, Pa., March 24.—Much in¬
terest has been uwakened throughout
Pennsylvania by s series of unique ex¬
periments which Dr. John Ege, of Gils
city is now bringing to a conclusion.
He first engrnfled strips of skin taken
from the arm of a white man upon tbe
arm of a black mau, and next he en¬
grafted skin from the arm of a colored
man The upon results the have leg of I a white man.
teen that the strips
of white skin in the block man’s flesh
have remained white, while the stripe of
black skin transplanted upon the white
man have turned white. From these
facts Dr. Ege deduces the conclusion
that white must have been tbe original
color of mankind. Ilail the white skin
planted black, then, in the he black man's scientific arm turned
would have says, men
reason to argue that black
was the original color of mankind. As
it turned out, however, Dr. Ege declares
that he has demonstrated l«yond ques¬
tion that white was man's original color.
Dr. Ege is preparing to publish his ex¬
periments. HeWieves his discoveries
may prove valuable hereafter to ethnol¬
ogists and the medical profession.

Louisville, March 24.—The further
the investigation into tbe affairs of tbe
Schwartz bank, which failed here lost
week, the greater the liabilities and the
smaller the assets. It now develops that
the failure was even more disreputable
and criminal than the Kean failure at
Chicago.
The investigation of the experts shows
that the bonk has been insolvent for ten
years, since which time it hoe been
“robbing Peter to pay Paul,” and by of¬
fers of exorbitant rates of interest solicit¬
ing the savings of a large number of the
working people.
So far the liabilities reach nearly a
million, while the assets consist of noth¬
ing but $800 worth of mutilated curren¬
cy left in the safe,
The cashier has disappeared.
The mystery surrounding the disap¬
pearance of Janssen causes much com¬
ment. A gentleman who has seen much
of Janssen says: "He waa a man no
one knew. He was getting along in
years. I saw him often, but he did not
have a companion. He would walk up
to the counter in a saloon and take a
.drink, but no ouo was ever invited to
join with him. He seemed to me to be
a man who liked to lead the life of a her¬
mit. Where he has gone, 1 do not know.
He may have gone buck to Germany and
carried money with him, but then they
say there was none for him to curry off.
He war be dead, but it i- strange that
his body has not turned up somewhere.”
