HAUPER AND MISS 110LMES.

Letters Showing the Relations f tha Two Earlier Jto Go on the" Stand To-Day.",'. CiNCi2i'ATi, Dec 8. The Enquirer this morning prints fac-simile cipher letters whichit says were furnished bv Charles Hopkins, son of assistant Benjamin EV Hopkins. They purport to be letters sent by Harper to iliss Josie Holmes, his former exchange clerk- It is explained that after the failure Harper" professed the warmest friendship for his, assistant cashier, . Hopkins, and promised to do everything that could be done to shield him. Young Hopkins was correspondingly kind to Harper, and became his messenger to carry letters to and from Miss Holmes. While in this office he began to suspect that Harper was arranging to shirk upon Hopkins the responsibility of all transactions with the grain-brokers, and young Hopkins, to place Harper within his power, conceived the bold design of concealing the letters and delivering verbal messages only. This worked well enough until Miss Holmes visited the jail. Harper was furious upon learning of the treachery of his messenger, and has since been cold toward Hopkins. : The letters were in" cipher which was easily read. Harper also sent .three checks to Miss Holmes, which Hopkins suppressed and turned over to District Attorney tJurnet. They aggregated $700,000, and it is presumed they were intended to be placed so as to cover up some of the crooked transactions of his bank. One, for $300,000, was dated Feb. 28; the others, for $200,000 each, were dated June 27. The letters of Harper to Miss Holmes are as ardent as those of any lover could be. In the first one he instructed her about what she should say in her testimony. She answered, saying she would be as evasive as she could, but feared she could not testify as he wanted her ., to. She said he had made a botch by sending Hopkins to see her, and asked him why he did not go when he had a chance. She asked him to send her a lawyer to advise her how to testify. To this Harper replied with mad protestations of love for his "bright angel," and upbraided her for her coldness, and especially for her cool suggestion that he should have flown. It looked to him as though she wanted to get rid of him. He reminded her of his talk during their last ride together; - that he said the worst thing would be their separation, and that she said that would never be, and, pressing a kiss on his lips, said she would go to prison with him, or. if that could not be, would visit him daily. He beeged her to get well and come to him before she got into the safe deposit box otherwise all would be spoiled. He also urged her to "take no more of the drug," and to decline to be interviewed. In a note to Harper Miss Holmes says: "Your wife has $300,000. I have nothing now to do but die, with your family disgracing me as they have done'in the past two days." . Mr. E. L. Harper was seen at the jail this ' morning by a reporter, and was asked what ho had to say about the publication of his letters to Miss Holmes. Harper paused a momcit, and then, with clenched teeth, said: "You can say that Charley .Hopkins did not publish the other letters that wpuld have benefited me , as much as they would his father, and that he did not Eublish .anything .about the $10 I gave him for er. Now will you excuse mef ' And he fin ished his toilet and went upstairs, where his wife and sister were in waiting to- take him to the courtroom. In the court room Harper gave his usual polite attention to his wife, and showed but little trace of trouble. - His wife, however, sat like a statne, and as. oblivious to her surroundings. - There is no doubt of the authenticity of the letters, and they place in a true light the relations between "the ex-banker and his fair clerks - - -; The publication in to-day's Commercial Gazette of its special -dispatch from Washington about an attempt to bribe District Attorney Burnet was headed, 'The defense make an unsuccessful attempt to-'bribe Mr. Burnet." When court convened in the Harper case,. District Attorney Burnet made a personal statement, saying that he especially desired it to be understood that there was no ground whatever for involving the counsel now representing the defense in any such statement or insinuation. - - -; v- 5 Judge Jackson thought it due to counsel for ", the defense to pay that,-so far as the Court i could judge, their conduct had been all tkaiC4 honorable gentlemen could demand. : ,- . , ' Judge Sage also said that he wished to correct a statement in the publication which ascribed to him previous knowledge of the attempted bribery. He said he had no information on the suoject whatever. ; - " : The prosecution : made no referenco at all to the publication of the , cipher letters betweeu Harper and Miss Holmes. Mr. Hayes finished his testimony, and with it the government rested its case.-.' l',-K x . The defense called Mr. Eckerfc for the purpose ; of finishing its cross-examination. After finish-: ing the cross-examination of Mr. Eckert.. the, defense cross-examined Mr. Hayes very briefly. ' Then Judge Wilson asked tho Court to give him a little time to prepare for opening the case for the defense, and court adjourned till to-morrow at 10 a. M. It is expected that Harper1 , will -. ho placed on the stand," and that no other' witness i will be called. " - - ' - - ; Features of the Case. Cincinnati, Dec. 8. The close of tLo government's testimony in the Harper trial came just after two sensational revelations, that of an attempt to bribe District Attorney ' Burnet, and the publication of Harper's and Miss Josie Holmes's love letters. The result of the first was to lead the attorneys for the defense to require a statement in court from Mr. Burnet, j exonerating them from any connection with the attempted bribery. There was no denial of the fact, only a shifting of the burden toother shoulders. The other revelation the love-letters makes a world of sympathy for poor Mrs. Harper, but it creates a correspondingly hard f eeline against Harper. The jury had been cautioned against reading the newspapers, but not commanded to let them alone. The court, upon the cloe of the government's testimony to-day, of its own motion, ruled out four of the ' counts in the indictment as being imperfectly drawn. As there are fifty-five counts in all, these four cut but a small figure to the defendant's credit. It is an unusual and remarkable fact that not a single exception has fo far been taken to any ruling of the court Moreover, the, rulings have generally been made with little' argument. A statement is made this evening that after Harper discovered . that Charles Hopkins had betrayed him and had obtained valuable testimony against him, an agent was sent to Hopkins to bribe him to secrecy, but the effort was unsuccessful. Hopkins says he has" ot her letters of Harper's which have not been published, but he denies pocketing $10 sent to 2ii3 Holmes. Flourlng-Mlll Burned. WiNNrrKU. Man., Dec. 8. Fire broke out this evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, in McMillan Brothers large roller-mill, at the foot of Lombard street, and burned to the ground in about three hours. The fire originated from spontaneous combustion in the dust-room in the upper flat and gained considerable headway before the arrival of the fire brigade. Being a wooden structure, the heat was intense, and for a time alarm was created lest the boiler should explode. The loss is estimated at $75,000, with only $18,500 insurance. A. large number of persons "are thrown out of employment through the fire. A Great Speech. To the Editor of the InJianaoolii Jonrnal: Will you allow me to make the greatest speech of my life? That I may not fail, I quote and adopt as my own the following "few remarks" made by Senator Palmer, of Michigan, at the "conference" held a few week ago, at Detroit, at which bold and brave Republicans considered the situation. The conference was private, but be willingly submitted to an interview, and, after saying that wherever there was donbi as to expedieneey he preferred the course that wns least equivocal, and that the pendency of a presidential election made no difference; that when a party had made up its mind to a policy was the time to announce it, he said: 'TLo eauge was thrown down to us at the last election in our State by the liquor men, and the inquisition . applied to all candidates by the saloon element, demanding expressions of views which amounted to a pledge. The Republican candidates who made these pledges were discriminated against by the temperance people, and those who would Dot make, them were slaughtered bv the liquor, influence. I said that I believed in taking up the eanntlet thus thrown down, and, as a party, come out on oue side or the other of the question. Whenever, the Republican party has been radical it has been triumphant. Whenever the Republican party has asserted a great principle it baa won, and the question cow is whether we shall take the lead In the prohibition movement or come in at the

tail of the procession later. 41tDa?n a great majority of the Republican party regards those questions which the war developed as of great interest and importance, such as the rights 'of the negro . in the South,, the freedom of the ballot and an honest count at .the polls, - a generation has come np " that knows not Joseph, and new fuel is required to fire them up to the enthusiasm that existed when the Republican patty achieved Its greatest triumphs. It. is absolutely imperative that we have some great moral or sentimental issue to hold the party together. I use the word 'sentimental in itshieher sense. The tariff alone wii not do, and I known of no other question that appeals to-the hearts and homes of the people like the temperance question. I do not pretend to be a total abstainer myself, although a temperate man, but the question is whether whisky is going to run this country or the sober judementof the people who are not under its influence. The strenetb of the Republican party is its weakness. By that I mean the convictions of the individuals. The sentiments of its componant parts must be aroused and unified on some supreme idea in order to get the thinking men to act together. You have to fire them with some great purpose . or they will scatter. Each roan thinks for uimself, and I believe the sentiment of the Bepublican party, or the great majority of it. is already in favor of adoptine the prohibition issue at State elections, and that within six years it will become a national issue." This is good, hard, horse political sense, and as applicable to Indiana as to Michigan. It is in substance and essense what Gen. Harrison aid at Danville, and I submit it as my speech to the proposed Republican conference in Indiana. : . t U. L. See. THEY. WANT PLAINER PREACHING. Ben Ilojran Says Lznorant Sinners Can't Understand Scholarly Sermons oa Scripture. There were not many vacant 'seats at Ben Hogan's revival meeting, in Y.'M. C A. Hall, last night. As on previous nights, there were not many church-going people present, and the audience was one from the street. All yesterday afternoon the revivalist went among the leafing places of the idlers, distributing his invitation cards, and many were drawd to the hall through a personal invitation. Through the efforts of the Y. M. C. A. people an organist and a cornet-player were procured, and the tnusio furnished put more spirit into the meeting. . Lieutenant Lavery opened the meeting with a brief talk, af tor which Mr. Hogan spoke, taking for bis text the declaration of Paul: "I do this for the gospel's sake." He said be was willing to go anywhere to save a sinner. He was not doing the work for self-glorification. "There are too many people working for self-glorification." ra'd be, "and they are all losine power. After I was converted, th first sermon I heard was in a Presbyterian church. There was some of it I understood, but the greater part of it I did not The people want to hear preaching they can understand. Many men come to me and say, 'I like to hear you talk, because I can understand what you say.' Preachers ,will quote a passage of Scripture, and then expound it. Now, I have discovered that the treat masses do not know much, about the Scripture. . Of one thousand persons I meet, eight hundred know little or nothing about the Bible. These people must be taueht to read the Bible, or the downfall of our nation will come. To get them interested in the great book, we must talk with them in

simnie language, and not preach to them classic sermons they cannot understand. Sin often comes through ignorance. I sometimes think it is not strange that we have so many people who .know eo little about the Bible, when we have so many foreigners who cannot understandEnglish. I believe I would - have been . a Christian sooner if I had been started on the right road. My father said I should go to a German school and study German exclusively. I wanted to learn English, and when be wouldn't let me I ran away from home, and went to the bad. There are plenty of 5uch cases. , Did you ever stop to think that there are but few places where foreigners may go and hear the gospel preached "They want some place to go to, and consequently they go to the saloon and the gambling-house. You talk about the German Sabbath-breakers, but you don't ?top to think that there are not two evangelists in America who are working among the Germans. Millions of dollars are being paid into foreign missions, but the immigrants in America are allowed to go nncared for. I tell you if is the masses that need to be reached. A young man wants to be a greacher and goes ibYo'deh college. He comes out, and reads and studies, and thinks. He goes higher and higher, and soon the poor, ignorant sinner is forgotten. He preaches excellent sermons, but there are '800 out of a congregation of 1,000 that do not understand him. I am not here to condemn ministers, but I do think they should get nearer the people." . In his closing remarks Mr. Hogan said that quite a number of men he bad met on the street said they could not come to his meeting because tbey did not have fit clothes to wear. "I want no man to stay away on account of his dress," said be. "As lone as I hold meetings in this ball tho poorest-dressed man will be as welcome as the one most richly clothed." He will bold no service to-night on account of the concert that takes place in the hall To-morrow night he will preach, and on Sunday he will hold services in the afternoon and evening. The afternoon meeting will be for men only. A GLIMPSE OF JAMES W. RILEY. The Indiana Poet TalK About His Art and His Method or Work. New York Mail and Exprees. James Whitcomb Riley, the Western poet and humorist, took the intellectual audience by storm the other afternoon at Chickering Hall when he recited his quaint lines entitled, "When the Frost is on the Pcnkin." Even James Russell Lowell could not repress a smile and Bonner. Eggleston, Cable and Richard Henry Stoddard laughed aloud. Those who have read Mr. Riley's poetry would almost instantly recognize the poet, if it were posoible for ideas to picture in the mind's eye their creator. Riley Is quaint and almost homely, until he speaks. Then the veil is lifted and mirth and humor illumine his features. He has a large, strong, smooth shaven mobile face. It is a hnmorous face that retreats fore and aft, in other words it curves from forehead to chin. . Hia large Roman nose plays a strong part in the ensemble of features. Large blue eyes, rather sunken, give a beaming expression to tbin, radiating wrinkles. Wben be smiles theso hnes fairly glow, nis hair is so tbin and close cropped that it is not easy to distinguish its color. It looks a pale sandy. He is snuzly built, of medium height, and has great suppleness in the shoulders. - Mr. Riley is a ready composer. Major Pond asked bim for an autograph, when he sat down aud wrote these lines: It hain't no use to prnmble and eom plain, It's jes' as cheap and easy to rejoice; .When God sorts out the weather and sends rain W'y, rain's iny choice. ; After be signed his name, a large, bold bandwriting, some other person desired his autography , and this is the verse he immediately wrote: 1 " We say and we say and we say, i. We promise, engage and declare, Till a year from to-morrow is yesteriay. And yesterday is where? A reporter asked him how he worked and how he went about selecting something suitable for bis particular style. He replied; . "I have no trouble whatever to find something to write about. I cannot throw a stone but that I hit a subject. They are everywhere about, wherever i go, and I take them as I find them. I have no special system to work by. I always write as I feel, and tbat perhaps is the only system I have. It is useless to force anything: it must come forth with natural feeling and then it will strike the right chord. A writer cannot tell every lime how be selects a theme to write about, at least I cannot. Nature is spread out before on, and somehow I stumble over things tbat awaken within me the instinct and, feeling to write. That is finding a subject" 'In writing your dialectio poetry, do you put it in good English and then translate it, eo to speakF - "No, I do not I imagine that the old farmer is talking, and I for the time am the old farmer, writing down the thoughts tbat come to me in a homely, easy way.
