HO JURY YET SECURE!)

Only Eleven Men Agreed on to Try Alonzo Walling.

THESE SUBJECT TO CHALLENGE.

Nearly Every Talesman Seeks to Escape Jury Duty on Some Pretext or Other. Interest in tlie Case Seems to Be on the

Rapid Decline —Only a Small Attendance in the Courtroom. CINCINNATI, May 28.—The trial of Alonzo Walling for the murder of Pearl Bryan entered upon its second day in the Campbell county courthouse at Newport Wednesday morning. There was no overwhelming crowd, no excitement, and very little to interest. Walling handcuffed to Sheriff Plummer was conducted from the -jail to the courthouse without incident.

Not five persons .were in the court--house corridors when the-' prisoner passed through and over half the seats in the courtroom Wfere unoccupied.

Judge Helm at once ordered the sheriff to call the roll of the talesmen secured by Sheriff Plummer and his deputies Tuesday afternoon. Out of 47 talesmen summoned 47 answered to their names, all responding to the summons. There is a genuine and widespreading revolt against serving on the jury. Eight of the talesman were excused by Judge Helm on account of sickness in their families or personal ailments. These were the only ^xcuses taken at all and nearly a score attempted to escape.

Walling was brought into court at 10 o'clock and took his usual seat beside .Jailer Bitzer.

John Seibert and Charles Dehnert were the first two talesmen called to fill the two vacancies.

John Seibert said in plain words that he thought Walling guilty and no amount of evidence could change his opinion. He was excused. Charles Dehnert had made up his mind and said lie could not render a fair and impartial verdict. He was also excused.

Ulrk'li Zeigler and Adam Audrea were then called. Zeigler thought Walling as bad as Jackson and had made up his mind and nothing could change it. He was excused. Audrea said he could understand the English language, but did not know what was jneant when spoken to. He was very dense and excused.

John Ernesthoff and M. R. Moran were then called. Ernesthoff when asked if he could render a fair and impartial verdict responded very emphatically "No He was so positive that he was then and there excused.

M. R. Moran, a grocer at Bellevue, -said he had an opinion, but he thought he could render a fair and impartial verdict. Colonel Washington questioned him severely, but he took his seat, making the 11th man.

Christian Lang had made up his mind that Walling was guilty and was excused.

J. C. Erpenbeck had made up his mind and was excused. Charles Pfefer was opposed to capital punishment. He was excused.

Charles Rushman had made up his mind that Walling was guilty. He was excused.

Daniel Weber was opposed to capital punishment and went out smiling. Ferd Fulner had made up his mind that Walling is guilty and could not Tender a fair verdict. He was excused.

Fred a Deitz, a cigar packer of Dayton, said he had no opinion, although he had read the newspapers. He took fiis seat, filling the jury box.

Judge Helm then asked the commonwealth if they wished to use their two remaining challenges. Colonel Lockhart said the commonwealth was satisfied.

Colonel Washington for the defense then for the first time exercised his challenge privileges. He challenged Fred A. Deitz, John Lange and Benjamin Hehman. This left nine jurors accepted.

James A. Collis, J. F. Braffoird. and Fred Brumbach were then called to fill the vacancies.

James A. Collis said he had read little of the case and had no opinion at all. He thought he could render a fair verdict. He took his seat. Brafford and Brumbach said they had made up their minds and could not render a fair verdict, and they were excused.

John T. Hoffman and Frank J. Lotz were then called. Hoffman had an opinion that Walling was guilty and jhad made up his mind. He was excused. Lotz was opposed to capital punishment and got off on that score.

Joseph Koehler and Peter Boehmer were then called. Koehler had his mind made up and could not, he said, render a fair verdict. Boehmer said the same thing and got off also.

E. M. De Rose, a Cincinnati machinist living at Bellevue, said he had no particular opinion and was sure he could render a fair and impartial veridiot. He kept his seat.

Joseph Geislin, John J. Devoto and Conrad Simmug were then called in turn and each in turn were strong in their statements that they had made up their minds and all were excused.

Charles Jungling was excused on the grounds of ill health. H. F. Allen was then called, but he •aidhe had made up his mind and was excused.

John Mauck when called said he had his mind made up that Walling was j*uilty. He was excused.

John F. Wall was then called, but he did not believe in capital punishment juid was excused.

John Bucker said he had listened to the Jackson trial and thought both Jackson and Walling guilty. He was excused. |i Philip Bastian, when called, said point blank that lie was sure Walling •was guilty, and was therefore excused.

Louis Yotze wasj excused on account ignorance of the English language. Joseph Whalen had an opinion which *conld not be changed. He was exjctwed.

Philip Blesch, an old man, was exBMD on account of his old age. Frank Leisering said the same thing mad he followed his predecessor out of 4M«i

Tkis exhausted the venire. Out of 4he whole venire summoned Wednesday morning oniy five jurymen were secured." There is yet ono vacancy on AM jury, and both thft prosecution And dtotepeeliave challenges: reserved. 17¥km venire'having been ex^aoite4k jnut adjourned for' the day.

SIX PEOP'-F. SLAIN.1

A California Housei Wiped Oat of Existence by a man Fiend. SAN JOSE, Cal., May 28.—Colonel R. P. McGlincy and wife, their daughter, Mrs. James Dunham, James Wells, a son of Mrs. McGlincy, a hired woman, Minnie Scherle, and a hired man, James Briscoe, were killed at Campbell by James Dunham, a son-in-law of Colonel McGlincy, who made his escape.

About midnight a neighbor named Page heard the report of shots in the direction of the McGlincy home. Almost immediately thereafter there came the sound of galloping hoofs on the county road. Hurriedly dressing, Page proceeded tatfhe home of the McGlincys and was horrified to find the body of Mrs. McGlincy lying in an outhouse in a pool of blood. Entering the house he found the bodies of James Wells, who had been shot Mrs. McGlincy and her daughter, who had been stabbed to death by the assassin, and the hired man and girl who had been hacked to death with a hatchet. The interior of the rooms where the bodies of the victims lay was bespattered with blood and there was every evidence to show that the dead had made a desperate struggle for their lives. Page, finding that all were beyond help, notified the authorities.

One of the officers who returned to the city from the scene said: "The scene at the McGlincy home is one fearful almost beyond the powers of description. In the reception room was found the body of Wells. Evidently a terrible struggle had taken place between Wells and the assassin. Wells was shot two or three times. In the reception room adjoining no bodies were found, but the furniture was literally smashed into fragments showing that a fearful fight had taken place there. Adjoining the diningroom was the apartment occupied by Mrs. McGlincy. There she was found literally slashed to pieces with a hatchet. "Blood was everywhere and, as in the room of Wells, there was evidence of a terrible struggle having taken place between the poor woman and her fiendish son-in-law. The other victims were found in other apartments."

The last seen of Dunham he was riding rapidly toward San Jose on horseback. Family troubles are said to have caused the murder.

The only being in the house who escaped alive was a baby one month old. the child of Mrs. Dunham and the alleged murderer.

Colonel McGlincy was one of California's commissioners to the world's fair at Chicago.

METHODIST CONSTITUTION.

Referred to a Commission to Keport Four Years Hence. CLEVELAND, May 28.—4 surprise was sprung upon the M. E. general conference yesterday, when a motion was made and carried to refer the Teport of the committee on constitution to a commission to report four years hence. This report has been under discussion for three days and had aroused much bitterness. The reason for yesterday's action is believed to be a desire for a constitution which wiil depart more from old lines than did the report of the committee. There is a feeling that the laymen should be given more equal representation, and it is hoped that may be granted in the constitution which the commission will prepare.

The bishops have selected their places of residence as follows: Mallalieu, from Buffalo to Boston Fowler, from Minneapolis to Buffalo Fitzgerald, from New Orleans to St. Louis Joyce, from Chattanooga to Minneapolis Newman, from Omaha to San Francisco Goodsell, from San Francisco to Chattanooga McCabe, to Fort Worth, Tex. Cranston, to Portland, Ore. Foss remains in Philadelphia, Merrill in Chicago, Andrews in New York, Ninde in Detroit, Waldren in Cincinnati, Warren in Denver, Hurst in Washington and Vincent in Topeka. New Orleans and Omaha, by the new arrangement, are left without bishops.

Bishop Newman has the choice of either San Francisco or Los Angeles and there will probably be a warm contest between these cities as to which shall be the place of episcopal residence. The bishop may, however, alternate between the two cities. Bishop McCabe has the choice of either New Orleans or Fort Worth, Tex. He has practically decided in favor of the latter on account of its better facilities for reaching the north, where he will have a considerable amount of work to do during the next two years in finishing uncompleted missionary business.

Unknown Man's Body Found. DAYTON, O., May 28.—The body of an unknown man was found near the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton tracks .about four miles south of the city, opposite what is known as the "Narrows," yesterday. A letter was found on his person addressed to William Meyers, Polk street, Huntington, Ind. A package of paris green was found by his side. Be was dressed in a dark suit of clothes, wore a sandy mustache, with a dark brown head of hair. It is believed that he has been dead for many days.

Slstersvllle's Second Fire.

SISTERSVILLE, W. Va., May 28.—This place was yesterday visited with a second disastrous fire within a week. The loss will reach $40,000 with little or no insurance. The following are the losers: Grier & Company, druggists McCormick & Company, shoes J. T. Dolan, saloon and poolrooms MacCabe & Elks, paraphernalia H. Hollis, saloon and clubrooms, E. Cohen, dry goods Drs. Marsh & Litcher, office furniture Hershberger & Company, clothiers. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Newspaper Alan Missing.

ELMIRA, N. Y., May 28.—Robert Emmet Hall, a well known newspaper man and poet, has been missing since Friday. His friends believe that he has committed suicide, as he has been despondent and often spoke of drowning as the best means of ending life. All efforts of the police and his friends to locate him have been fruitless. He came here from Chicago two years ago.

Letter Carrier* Will Be Better Fald. WASHINGTON, May 38. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon yesterday reported favorably from the committee on postoffices and post roads the biH to increase pay of letter carriers throughout the United States. This bill is similar to one already reported favorably in th* hooao. $

OVES A HUNDRED LOST.

The Victoria Streetcar Disaster Is Growlog in Extent. VICTORIA, B. C., May 28.—The search

for victims of Tuesday's streetcar horror is still being kept up and 62 bodies have been rescued from the water. Estimates made by peojfte there place the number remaining in the water all the way from 75 to 100. It will probably be sometime before all are taken out and probably some will never be found.

While many Victorians were on the fatal car, the majority were visitors and the work of identification was consequently difficult. Fifty-seven bodies were identified. There are others whose names could not be ascertained and still more undoubtedly whose bodies have not yet been recovered from the water.

Twenty persons known to have been on the bridge at the time of the accident are missing and it is supposed they have perished. The car register shows 90 fares and it is probable that over 125 people were on board.

The people are very indignant over the accident, and same action will be taken right away. In every survey that has been made of the bridge in the last three years it£has been condemned. The car that went down is an extremely large and heavy one and has not been allowed to run for a year, as it was considered too heavy for the bridge.

The festivities have all been stopped and the whole town is like one great morgue. Men and women with eyes full of tears go running about the streets circulating from the river to the morgue and back again.

HOUSE AND SENATE.

But Very Little Accomplished in Either Branch of Congress. WASHINGTON, May 28.—The house

spent almost the entire day discussing the senate amendment to the general deficiency bill, appropriating $1,027,000 for the payment of about 700 French spoliation claims, $548,000 for 325 war claims found to be due under the Bowman act, $174,000 for the payment of what is known as the Chauteau claim for the construction of an ironclad steam battery in 1864, and about $10,000 for Indian supplies furnished in 1873 and 1874.

Chairman Cannon of the appropriations' committee seconded by Mr. Sayers, led the fight against the payment of these claims which they charged had been lumped together into one amendment in order to command enough strength to secure passage. Messrs. Grosvenor (Rep., O.), Mahon (Rep., Pa.), Adams (Rep., Pa.) and Richardson (Dem., Tenn.) advocated the claims which they contended had been found by the court of appeals to be equitable and just. The vote was close, but the friends of the claims carried the day— 111 to 97.

The conference report on the sundry civil bill, which left but $1,086,000 still in dispute, was presented and was still pending when the house adjourned.

Mr. Kem (Pop., Neb.), who has been objecting to all requests for unanimous consent, was forced in order to preserve his record to object to a resolution to direct the secretary of the treasury to resume the issuance of patents to settlers on the Union Pacific, in which 5,000 of his constituents are interested.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 28.—The senate defeated the proposition to increase the beer tax 75 cents per barrel, by the vote of 34 to 27. The vote was taken as soon as the filled cheese bill was taken up, the beer tax proposition being submitted as an amendment. With the amendment disposed of the cheese bill was further debated, but not disposed of.

The debate on the bond bill proceeded after 2 o'clock. Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota and Mr. Daniel of Virginia speaking for, and Mr. Elkins of West Virginia against the bill. Mr. Elkins' remarks were punctuated by sharp and amusing colloquies with Mr. Butler and Mr. Perkins. The speech of Mr. Daniel was notable as an exposition of the free silver attitude of today.

Som« of Its More Important Work—Views of Congressman Dlngley—Three Parties In the House and Three and a Faction

In the Senate.

[Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, May 25.—When the last appropriation bill went from the house to the senate—and the "domnition total" after all was but little over $505,000,000— there was an even dozen of rather important measures strung along the road from Indorsement in the house committees to passage of the house and consideration in senate committees. First in importance probably was the bankruptcy bill, which has been fought over in the house with all the usual vigor and even more than the usual venom and finally passed by pretty nearly a strict party vote. It ie not easy to show why bankruptcy bills excite such furious disoussion, but from the earliest record they always have. Benton tells us that in the Twenty-seventh congresss the oommittee reported that 100,000 men were eager to get their acquittance a3 bankrupts and begin business again, and thereon he prophesied that less than 500 of them would ever amount to anything again in business. He was a poor prophet in most things, but he hit it to a in this. The man who took the bonefit of that act was sot down by his neighbors as a rascal aiul could never get trusted again.

The Bankrnpt Law.

When the law of 1867 was passed, I had to study and write a digest of it and Its interrelations with the existing law of Indiana, and I took notice that all the old lawyers said it would become thoroughly odious in ten years, and they did not miss it far. Before that time ran out one might go into any average small city of 3,000 or upward and find several men living in pretty good style, but quietly cursed by their neighbors as bankrupts, and when I went to Tennessee on a tour I don't think I was in any town that some one was not pointed out to me with the pleasant comment, "Darn him, ho took the benefit of the bankrupt law!" I was not at all surprised, therefore, when a Tonnesseo politician told me the other day that in their political campaigns it is often thrown up to a young politician that his father took advantage of the bankrupt law. When I went to the far west, however, I found that out there, in Utah especially, the law was so administered as to divide what the bankrupt had left between the lawyers and the court officials. Although a digres-

sion, and a personal one, I trust this Js pardonable. The general pension bill excited a great fight, of course, and "the amiable Goth of South Dakota" (Pickler), who had it in charge, was in all his glory, for he is never so happy as when all the Democrats jump on him at once.

The filled cheese bill went through the house with a whirl, and the senate approves, with some modification, of the rather savage penalties. As to that fine old chestnut, the Pacific railroad funding bill, there isn't a man in either house who can be induced to prophesy about it, save possibly Senator Cullom, who continues to say, as he has been saying for years: "Don't fret. Nothing will be clone." The committees on both houses are for it, as they always have been, but if it gets into the senate this session the Populists will talk it to death. They are "loaded for bear." The Nicaragua canal bill is once more approved by tho committee, but I cannot discern that it Is one inch farther along than it was four years ago, and any reader of the papers can see that now enemies are rising against it every week. The bill to further restrict immigration will have to slumber till next winter, and so in all probability will the bill repealing that part of the Wilson tariff which allows a rebate on Imported alcohol used in the arts.

Hon. C. A. Russell of Connecticut is the only member of the house committee which reported this bill favorably who Is making a vigorous fight against it. He says: "It has been stated by members and published broadcast that the bill as it now stands involves a loss of $8,000,000 and probably |10,000,000 per yoar. Well, the middle of last February the claims actually filed for rebate amounted to not quite $2,500,000, and that was 17 months after the Wilson law was passed. There are many cases in which it would take a committee of experts to docide on the application of the law. I suppose that alcohol used in painting and varnishing of all kinds and in makiiig perfumery would certainly bo judged a.-i alcohol used in tho arts, but how would it bo with that used in making up glazing preparations, and would they count that which tho workmen often diluto and drink when the stuff is bought for use in tho moohanio arts?" Mr. .Russell has many other arguments against tho repeal, bun it is needless to givo them, as tho senate will not pass tho bill this year, if it evor does.

Mr. Dingley Interviewed.

As to the work of this congress, I thought the conclusions of an experienced statesman would bo bettor than any I could study up, and so called on Governor Dingley at the Hamilton House. It was but 9:30 a m., but he had had his "constitutional" beforo breakfast and his saunter after it, had read the morning paper and done his correspondence and was In a very genial, chatty mood. The governor Is evidently what we call out west a "singed oat." That is a man very tnuch tougher and more mueoular than his appeannae Indicates. He laughed at my oonfaMkm that a study from the gallery led me to set T)im down a seml-invalld too much gfafi to.work at the desk, And declared that he was never sick and very seldom felt bad. He walks to and from the oapltol dally and AS early as 6:80 a. m. on these balmy mornings itiay be seen hitting the pavement vigorously along NEW York AV

enue and Fifteenth street and through all the lovely parks thereabout. In answer to my requests for an opinion on the work of this congress he said: "As we announced at the start we have in the house attempted no distinctively partisan measures, and as it turned out the sesoto will not even allow us to relieve the-administration by our measuros wh'lch went to the extremest verge of nonpartisanship. If it were not such a veuy ssripus majter, it would be laughable to read the sarcastic remarks of tho Democrats in the house that we had adopted their principle of a horizontal tariff and indorsed the bond polioy of the administration, and then contrast them with the same party's reason for imposition in tho senate. It is ordinarily bad enough when the house is controlled by one party and the senate by another, so there can be no certain fixing of tho responsibility, but just now there are three parties in the house and an independent silver faction in the senate. As to the president, he must be counted -now as a party by himself, for certainly neither of the three parties is supporting him, and the most outspoken Democrats are his bitterest critics. But the people will fix the responsibility for the failure of our bills to relieve the administration. This trick of trying to make it appear that the house has done nothing is a vory old ono in politics, but I doubt if it ever succeeds.

Silver and Other Matters.

"Now as to these dozon or so of measures you speak of, it is seriously to be doubted if more than two, or, at tho utmost, three of them can get through tho senate this session. The filled cheese bill seems to meet with very little opposition. As to the bankruptcy bill, start it as you may the discussion is sure to become sectional. Those fellows always fight for more liberty in the direction of voluntary bankruptcy and a lot of other things which thoy think will help the debtor and hinder the creditor. That is all based on the false notion that they represont the debtor section. Now thoro is no such thing as a debtor section or a debtor class, and there is no section where the people generally are ereditors. Debtors and creditors are mingled through all sections and classes and are porpetually changing positions. And, by tho way, while on this suLijoct I want to turn questioner myself. What will be the majority for silvcf, if any, in tho Democratic national convention?" "Wall, the last time I talked with Sena tor Harris he put it at 140 sure, but I cannot at present figure it higher than 80." "Ah, well, that's enough to givo the Democratio party tho worst blow it has had sinco the war. Not this year oh, no! I differ with some of my party on that point and concedo that the Democrats will gain in portions of the west and south by advocating silver. They will gain this year, but it puts the party low down in tho scale and identifies them with bad measuros in finance generally. As they are certain to be defeated anyhow thoir policy, even on the lowest plane of expediency, should certainly have been in favor of sound money. A silver platform and candidate will destroy what little credit they had in halftthe country, and they will be not only beaten, but disgraced. This gold basis was not a matter of law, but of evolution. Mankind commenced with barter, and then went on to use cattle as money. From cattle they advanced to brass and copper, and from them to silver and gold, and for precisely the same reasons tho most civilized and progressive nations have adopted gold, and all the law has done was to recognize that fact. It is very bad business to any party that fight# against it. Adjournment? Oh, well, before the middle of June anyhow. I suppose it's safe to say that if it is ever safe to prophesy about the senate."

And as I cannot provo that he is wrong either about silver or adjournment I let it go at that. J. H. BEADLE.

The Editor of the Atchison Globe. TSpecial Correspondence. CLEVELAND, May 26.—One can hardly pick up a daily newspaper in the east without reading some articlo in it roprinted from tho Atchison Globe. I ran across the editor of that paper the other day, whom I used to know in tho west years ago, and had a talk with him. He is E. W. Howe, and he Is scarcely less well known as a novelist than as a newspaper proprietor and editor. "Tho Story of a Country Town," "The Mystery of the Locks," "A Man Story," "A Moonlight Boy" and "An Ante-Mortem Statement" are works of this writer's which have received more than passing notice from eastern critics. No less «i personage than William Dean Howells has seen fit to write about the former book, and Mark Twain declared it to bo the "best American novel yet published" when it was issued. Mr. Howe is about 40 years old. Ho is of middle height and has a stern, practical face. In his square set jaw, gray eyes and sturdy figure one sees determination and courage, and he has become one of the foremost writers of his part of the country through sheer force of will, coupled with natural ability. A warm personal friend of Howe's is exSenator John J. Ingalls, who also lives in Atchison. Ingalls once told me he regarded the Atchison Globe worth $500,000. "But," he added, "I don't think It would bo worth 5 cents with any other man than Ed Howe as editor." Of late Howe has confined himself largely to newspaper work. When in Salt Lako City a few years ago, he wrote the libretto to a comic opera about tho Mormons. He is muoh interested in amateur theatricals, and when I mot him hero ho said he had come east to got somebody to write the music for his opera. When this is done, he is going to produce it at his home. His many friends and admirers would much rather hear that ho was at work upon another novel. AD. VANCE.

England, India and Egypt.

Unquestionably there is poaco and thero is order under British rule in India, but fclio British rulers aro disliked, and tho mass of the people would prefer to work out tho problems of social existence in tlfeir own way. They have the same right to such a preference that all other peoples havo. This may bo said of tho Egyptians also. It is true that the land tax is much lowor in Mgypt today than it was beforo the British occupation that tho interest on tho public debt is promptly paid and that tho national securities in tho hands of foreign bondholders are worth several times what was paid for them. Nevertheless alt Intelligent Egyptians, while recognizing' the value of the temporary service rendered by Great Britain,are of the opinion that the oooupatlon should now end, •nd that opinion is shared by almost every civilised eaontiy except England.—Mayo W. feaseltlM In North American Review.
