TRAPJLLEB,
While Miller Was Being Questioned
by His Superiors His Replies
Were Being Taken Down
by Concealed Stenog
rapher.
Cincinnati, October 14.—Standing room
"as in demand in the United States dis
trict court room on the second day of
the trial of Miller and Johns for con
spiracy to extort a bribe in connection
with the recently exposed postal frauds.
Nine witnesses were examined today and
the government has four more to call,
®o that the defense will not begin until
the afternoon of the third day, and the
case may not get to the jury until the
last day of the week. The principal
witnesses were Ryan and ‘.lie officials
from Washington. The defense was not
taken by surprise until the afternoon,
when the stenographic reports of the pri
vate secretaries of fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow and of Gen
eral Robb of interviews with Miller wero
introduced as evidence.
Stenographer’s Story.
Joseph t. Watson, secretary and
stenographer to the fourth assistant post
master general, testified to being con
cealed in the office of his chief when
General Robb and chief Inspector Coch
ran had their first interview with Miller
about the reports of the postoffico in
spectors regarding th. decisions in the
Ryan case am! the discovery of his rela
tions with Johns. He then read from
his original stenographic notes all that
was said during th > two hours and a.
half that the officials were thus ques
tioning Miller regarding the case. The
sensational appearance of Watson on the
stand was followed soon afterwards by
Charles IF. Robb, assistant attorney gen- j
era! for the postofflec department, being j
called, and he produced a copy of the I
transcribed stenographic notes of his see- l
retary. Mr. Tollis, of another long inter- ■
v!( w with Millet • - pat

Miller with Robb ■' the de- j
fendant did not know that a stenographer
was concealed in th< room as he did lit I

detective work that has been done in :
these cases by the government was never I

I unable to agree, and was discharged by i
Judge Thompson. The trial attracted un
usual attention, as it was the first one
under the many recent indictments for
alleged frauds in the postoffice depart
ment. Four days were devoted to the
taking of evidence, and the lifth day
to the very vigorous arguments of Dis
trict Attorney Sherman McPherson and
Assistant Thqpias H. Darby, for the gov
ernment, and Hiram D. Rulisou and
[ Chalies W. Baker, lor the defendants.
General Robb and many clerks from the
department at Washington; Chief Coch
ran and many other postolhce inspectors
and others from Washington, were here
assisting in the prosecution, and the
charge to the jury' was an unusually
strung one.
The scenes in the court room at mid
night were again somewhat dramatic,
as the members of the family of the
defendants and their friends, Horn Terre
Haute and Itockevllle, and other parts
of Indiana, gathered around them. The
disagreement of the jury was generally
regarded as somewhat favorable to the
deienduiils. as the government had shown
its hand fully in tiiis trial, so that coun
sel fur the defense could not be sur
prised as much in the next trial as was
the ease this week, especially in tile
testimony of Watson, the secretary of
General Bristow, and in the production
of copies of letters and telegrams. The
jury was considering the case for six
hours and a half. It was undisturbed
from 5 p. m. until 11:10. when Judge
Thompson sent for it, and the jury ask
ed for further instructions. Judge
Thompson then told the jurors that lie
would Instruct them about any matter of
law. but that they must settle matters
of facts among themselves. Ho direct
ed the jury to retire again, and submit
its request for further instructions in
writing
At I I '35 p nt., the jury came in again
and in writing reported as follows:
‘‘We find that we are unable to agree
upon a matter of fact.”

Norfolk, Va„ October 12.—The first
news from the Carolina coast since the
beginning of the hurricane last night dis
pels tlie hope that I lie treacherous shoals
between Currituck :nd Flattaras have
not claimed their quota of the craft.
Two vessels are known Io have been
lost on that stretch of the coast, and fur
ther reports are expected to bring news
of more wrecks as at this time three
schooners ate missing, together with one
barge. Two schooners and a barge, in
addition to those wrecked between Cape
Henry and Dam N'ck were lost during
Thursday and Friday.
The crew of the schooners were saved,
but the barge went, down with all hands
on boa rd.
The tug Buccaneer, Captain Joseph
I.;.ne, reports that the barge Oracle foun
dered off Cape Henry witli Captain Cook
ion, her cook and three seamen, all white.
The tug sailed from Baltimore towing
the Oracle, which was coal laden. Off
Hog Island the storm struck her on
Thursday mid the barge with her crew
went down. Tlie tug could not appfoaob
the barge in he.ivy sea, and was forced
to come here for safety.

THE LARGEST BOOK EVER PUB
LISHED IN ST LOUIS,
Tlie mammoth catalogue of tlie Kline-
Drummond Mercantile Company. St.
Louis, is just from, tlie press. This book
is devoted entirely to the illustrating,
describing and pricing of goods of . very
character and description suitable for
domestic use. There is scarcely anything
that one eats, uses or wears but what is
shown in thlg book, and all things are
quoted at wholesale prices to consumers
and users. This book has between 800
and 1,000 pages—has fully 50,000 illustra
tions and quotes prices on fully 100.000
articles. It, f s thy largest book of its
kind ei./- published in St. Louis, and rep
resents a new industry, which in time,
will, undoubtedly, rank among the lead
ing houses of the United States.
The officers of the Kline-Drummond
Mercantile Company have numbered
among them some of the leading business
men of St. Bonis—men well known in the
financial and commercial world—and they
have as their working force men of years
oi oxp. rieiiee, who have form' rly bei-n
with the k'.rgqst Mail Order houses in the
country. This house will, undoubtedly
and deservedly obtain the patronage of
a large portion of the rural element of tlie
west, south and southwest, as people
living in those sections can buy from them
to the best advantage, because they can
receive their goods sooner when shipped
from St. Louis than any other point,
and the freight rates are mucli less as
compared with Chicago.
In the publishing of the large catalogue.
Which they have just issui d, th" first,
edition required almost a train load of
paper to print it, and over 100 people
were constantly engaged day and night
for three months in issuing it. Over
twenty press. .< were kept constantly in
operation during that time to issue this
mammoth edition.
We understand it costs nearly $1 to
print and -send out one of these books,
ut th:.l the Klim -Drummond Mercantile
Company in their d< sire to have every
rural resident obtain a copy have made
a very liberal concession, and all they
require Is that any one who desires a copy
will send 15 cents in coin or stamps to
partially pay the postage ami as an evi
dence of good faith, showing that, they
desire the book as a. money-saving propo
sition and do not send for it out of idle
curiosity.
IS MYERS LOCATED AGAIN?
Texas Man Thinks He Has Found the
Atlanta Murderer.
Another Texas man thinks lie has lo
cated Will Myers, who murdered Forest
Crowley here several years ago, and then
made bis escape after conviction. This
is tile third or fourth time that. Will
Myers has been located within tlie last
six months.
A letter was received at tlie capitol
Monday from a man signing himself
Detective T. F. Watson, of McGregor,
Tux., stating it as his belief that lie
had 10-ati-d .Myers, and asking for means
of identification.
"I understand there is SSOO reward
offered by the govei: r and SSOO by the
sheriff.” he says In his letter to the
governor,' and 1 v. Id like to do this
work for you.”
It is hardly beliei"! that Myers has
been found, though the matter will be
Investigated Os . > i ■-. . no stops will
bo overlooked that might possibly result

ARMY HEADOUARTERS
FOR ATLANTA
The Considerations Which Are Back
of the Movement for a South
ern Military Department
with Headquarters at
Atlanta.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, October 17.— (Special.)—
The assignment of Major General Henry
C. Corbin to the command of the depart
ment qf the east may have most impor
tant bearing upon a project in which
Atlanta and all the south are deeply in
terested. That Is the reestablishment of
the military department of tlie gulf with
headquarters at Atlanta.
Tlie time Is ripe for a concerted move
ment toward the dividing up of the un
wieldy department of the east by the
creation of a new department embracing
tlie south Atlantic and gulf states by
the restoration of the status which was
necessarily disturbed by tin- preeipitu ■
tion of the war with Spain. Such a
movement, strongly supported by the sen
ators and representatives from Georgia
and having the active and hearty aid of
other southern members of congress, will
be set on foot immediately after the as
jsembling of congress, and unless I am
■ mistaken, it will meet the approval of
the general commanding the department
of the east.
Corbin’s Important Part.
No man who wears the uniform of
Uncle Sam is as familiar with the details
of the administration of tho army, and
: the army’s needs, us Major General Cor
: bin. As adjutant general of the army
"luring a period of. years when the exi
gencies of a war laid bare ail the
Strength and all the weaknesses of tlie
army organization, Im is the most thor
oi:;<4>;,v Informed of any living man of
all the details of our army system. A
man of rare executive ability, lie realizes
better than anybody tlie value of a per
fect organization, and he will lie found
using his influence to any movement
designed to bring about such perfection.
General Corbin will figure in history as
one of the greatest adjutant generals the
United States army has ever known. His
own personality and his own strength
made the office lie field of predominating
influence in army affairs in the years Im-
I mediately preceding the Spanish war,
! during that war's progress and througti
l out the period following that war when
i the military s\ stem has been undergo -
'ing tlie readjustment which culminated
in tlie creation of tlie general staff corps.
: Supreme faitli in his judgment was man
iifested by secretaries of war and pt'esi
■ dents alike. There were critics, of
'course, for Jealousies are to be found
i even in army circles; but there was just
(one verdict from those in tlie best posi-
I tion to know the man and his work, and
j that testified to his power, ins strength.
! Ills gre it ability.
j ills assignment to the command of the
. most important of the military depart
: ments is eloquent evidence of the esteem
lin which he is held by President Roose
velt and Secretary of V. .it Root. The
appropriateness of tills recognition of bls
services Is universally recognized, both
lin the army and out of it. His eountry
' men a pipi eeia te the x alue of his s« rvices.
The de-irabllity of tlie reestablishment
; of the department of the gulf was often
'presented to General Corbin as adjutant
.gitoTal when matters pertaining to this
j section of the country were before him,
! and I believe it to be within the facts
ito say that he looks upon the proposed
[change with distinct favor. As com
: mander of the department of the east
■ this will come before him for consider.i-
■ tion, and when the pioipet time comes,
[action will lie taken in accordance witn
• his recommendations.
Many Efforts Made.
During Ute past two years this matter
has been frequently brought to tlie at
tention of the military authorities by
I Geoi-gians and other southerners, but the
F project of the creation ot the general
I staff corps has so occupied tho attention
of Secretary Root and the high army of
ficers that other proposed changes have
had to take a back seat. Now that th"
general staff has become a reality, how
j ever, and since one of its most important
[ duties will bo to perfect tlie machinery
[for Hie administration if army affairs,
i the time lias come for an active revival
let' tlie caninaign ior tlie department of
[the gulf.
[ Expressions showing tlie interest f< It in
[this movement by the members of the
i Georgia delegation insure a vigorous eam
| paign upon their return to Washington,
[it can be said in all truth that each and
I al; of them have lost no opportunity to
I help along the good work in the past.
I 'Senators Bacon and Clay and Uongress
i man Livingston have, 1 know, brought
[the matter to the attention of the secrc-
I tary of war and the adjutant general
| upon practically every \isit to tlie war
i detpartment, no matter what the pri
| mary purpose of tlie visit may have
been.
Following one of S'-nalor Bacon's talks
witli Adjutant General '.‘orbin last spring,
an Associated l‘ii.:-s dispatch was sent
out from here stating that the reestab
lishment of the department of the gulf
had been determined upon. This proved
to be a mistake, for nq action had been
taken; but the impression made upon the
, >•<ipresenLitive of the press association
by General Corbin's expressions was such
[as to bear out tlie assertion that lie be
lieves the change should be made. And
lit is practically certain that witli a fa
ivorable recommendation from Generil
I CorlTlii. Atlanta will again become head.

The Present Department.
I Every consideration of expediency and
I good business argues for the division of
[ the present uepartment of the east, and
[ for such a division as will make a new
: department of which Atlanta will be the
! geographical and commercial center. The
present departments, exclusive ot’ those
in the division of the I’hilippines, are
these:

ROBERT EMMETT’S TOMB FOUND
So a Nephew of the Irish Patriot
Says.
; New York. October 15.—Dr. Thomas Ad
dis Emmett, of this city, believes he has
solved the mystery of the burial place
; of Robert Emmett, his great uncle, the
Irish patriot, who was put to death by
the English for high treason at Dublin, |
September 20, 1803. He has just re- !
turned from Ireland after three months I
[ spent in running down rumors as to I
: the patriot’s tomb and the search finally •
; was narrowed down to St. Peters church !
■ yanl. Dublin, in the Enunett fami'y tomb !
When an edict prohibiting burials in
i Dublin was issued in 1840 the head stone i
' and tomb covers in St. Peters were taken
i up and the surface covered with thu'k
' layer of cement. The stones w-ro re-
' that the bodies they commemorated lay
! somewhere in the church yat';l- Gbjee
' tlons of families whose ancestors tie
burie 1 there prevented ill- Emmett from
excavating.
