bad already filed the demurrer with the clerk and h quickly entered a plea of not guilty for Walling and Attorney Crawford entered a similar plea for Jackson- . Judge Helm then asked If the cases were to be tried together or separately, and after ome little discussion It was decided to try the cases feparately. Jixire Helm next asked Prosecutor Lockhart which case he wanted try flrrt and th prosecutor chose Jackscn's. which was thereupon set for April 7. Attorney Crawford made a strong objection to so early a date, but the Judge was obdurate and would not change the date. "But." answered Mr. Crawford, "I can't fret the case ready by that time. .1 can't Ret witness here by that time. You must remember these young men are away from their friends and in a strange State, The witnesses are out of the court's Jurisdiction and It takes time to get them here. 1 would Juft like to know what the prosecution Is going to prove. Are they goings to bring; that negro Jackson in to testify? I don't know what they are going to prove." A BRIEF TILT. "I'll tell you then." Interrupted Colonel Nelson. "We are going to prove that Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling murdered Pearl Bryan." Colonel Washington was on hft feet In an instant. "I tell, you that la something you will not prove, sir. You are mistaken." . There was me disorder following this tilt between two of the. most prominent attorneys In Campbell county, but order was quickly secured. Walling's cae was then brought up 'for consideration, but 1; was Anally declaed to et no date for It, but by mutual understandlcg it is to follow Jackson's trial. Sheriff Plummer was a much pleased man. "Do you Eee." he said, " how n:cely everything went off? No trouble; no delay; no grumbling, excepting by those who didn't Ret in. And Just look at our hand?ome court room. Its fame will now go all over the land. I am simply delighted, boys." The scene In the court room will not soon be forgotten by . the hundred. of Newport citizens who witnessed the short ceremony of Jaw. Every foot of floor space. was occupied and almost every prominent attorney In Campbell county filled the space reserved for them Inside the bar. People of all walks f life occupied the chairs, the banker rubbed elbows with rhe laborer. Hundreds came out of mere curiosity, but there were certain others, about IZQ. who had other business In the court room at that particular time. They were secretly armed, and were there In the interest of peace and good order, .personal friends of ShrifT Plummer, to see that he was fully backed up in any move or order he may have made. This 'step was only taken as a matter of precaution and unknown to Sheriff Plummer, who had his usual force of deputies at his back at every tage of the proceedings. The return was made to the Jail In the same manner in which the prisoners were taken Into court. Securely han.Icuffei, there wa3 no chance of escape, and no demonstration on the part of any one. Those who have at any time doubted the temner of the citizens in Newport in regard to th!s case would have had their doubts eet at rest Monday morning had they witnessed the turning out of Newport citizens at the trial. During the entire proceedings there was not a murmur, nor a hiss, groan or outcry of any kind. This nilenee In the court room was Impressive. Not a person left his seat during the formal hearing, and after the case came to a close the big crowd out of the court room and dispersed to their homes or their business. There was no lingering about the Jail nor the least trouble reported from anv source. Sheriff Plummer was criticised by some who had not been given tickets o? admission, but by the great mass of citizens he was highly complimented on the course he pursued. Those who had admission tickets to the morning hearing will not Ret tickets to the trial until all other citizens of the county have been given a chanco to see tho prisoners. Many tn in from Grrenrnxtlr. Epeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. G RE UN CASTLE. Ind., March 23.

NO BACKWARD STEP

DALLI.NGTOX AND MRS. DOOTII "WILL PISH THEIR xilW 3IOEMEXT. Cannot lie Induced to Return to the Salvation Array, No 3Iatter What Promises Are Made. NEW YORK. March 23. Ballington and Mrs. Booth Issue! a statement, through Lieutenant Colonel Glenn, to-day, to the effect that they will under no circumstances again take command of the Salvation Army In the United States. The statement was prompted by a report from London that efforts are being made to Induce Mr. and Mrs. Booth to accept their old command. The statement follows: "Commander and Mrs. Booth will not for a moment consider any proposition whatsoever made to them from the International head quarters of the Salvation Army. While Commander Booth will not refuse to see his eister as a sister, both he and Mrs. Booth are positively and Anally determined to enter Into no discussion and to listen to no proposition concerning the reconsideration of their position. Their step was taken definitely and prayerfully, when they publicly, at the Cooper Union meeting two weeks ago, committed themselves to the starting of a new movement, and no advances whatsoever will lead either of them or the officers who are at their side to depart from the declarations they have made. International headquarters is perfectly well aware of the reasons which underlie tae whole question, and made it Impossible for Commander and Mrs. Booth to continue under their orders." The leader of the new movement claim that the London ofllcers are playing a trick. That they talk reconciliation in order to prevent many American officers from leaving the Salvation Army to Join In the new movement. At the Fourteenth-street headquarters Colonel Eadie, who received a recall from London on Sunday, said to-night that his orders to farewell were not the resuit of anything he may have done in the pursuit of his duties as an officer in the Salvation Army. Colonel Eadle eaid that there seemed to be a sentiment prevailing for which there was no reasonable excuse, that he had been a disturbing element in the army here. He did not say why he had been recalled. He stated, however, that he would be here to attend the grand reception In Carnegie Hall to the Booth-Tuckers. Thl3 meeting has been postponed for a week, until April 7, a cable having been received which says that Commissioner Booth-Tucker disembarked from the steamer to the tender and returned to Southampton with his youngest son, who was tiken ill on board the steamer. Mrs. BoothTucker, however, is aboard the steamer. Word was received at the Bible House headquarters to-day that Captain Booth and wife, together with the corps at Long Branch. N. J., had Joined the volunteers. Loyal to the English Army. CHICAGO? March 23. About' 130 officers of the Northwestern branch of the Salvation Army were present at a meeting here today. Commissioner Eva Booth addressed the meeting, which was behind closed doors, on the qctstion of loyalty to General Booth. "I have traveled over Australia, India and all the world." said Miss Booth, referring to the rebellion in the East, "but anything more disgraceful than this lamentable affair I have never witnessed." The cheers which greeted this outburst of the commissioner augured poorly for the success of an attempt to sever the American army from the main branch in England Secretary Fleldlnsr, of the Northwestern branch of the army, said there was not a single officer present at the meeting who would be disloyal to General Booth. Every one of the 150 officers present was solid against secession. It was learned later that three of the most efficient officers at divisional headquarters have declared to the commissioner their intention of leaving the army. They are Washington- Itlackhurst, adjutant; Christopher c. Ilerron, divisional secretary and adjutant, and Mrs. Bertha Herron, adjutant. This afternoon the commissioner was closeted In individual Interview with the field and staff officers. The purposes cf these talks was to make test of the loyalty of all, and where necessary, to reanimate flagging zeal. Mr. and Mrs. Herron were summoned to an Interview about 4 o'clock and for more than an hour Eva Booth labored to persuade the officers to forsake her brother. At the end they declared their resolution unshaken. This morning the commissioner held a council of officers from Isccnsin, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and other States, together with the staff and field officers stationed in Chicago. The 223 officers were on their knees sinking a song- of victory. The commissioner spoke: "Now, let everyone who is willing to follow the old flag to victory sing the song with raised hand." The majority rat-fed their hands, but those whose hands remained tightly clasped over their eyes were the officers whom Eva Booth has tried most earnestly to win over to the side of Gen. William Booth. SMALL EIOT AT BOSTON. Odcers Attacked by Friends of a. LIqaor-Lavr Violator. BOSTON. March 23.

In all that has been written of Stratton, the man that discovered Clippie Creek, and is now the owner of its richest mines of gold, it has not been told that his find, which made him many times a millionaire, lost him his wife and his comfortable home besides. Though he is rich enough now to maintain homes by the hundred the old one and the good and patient wife are gone forever. It happened in this wise, as told by a man who knows Stratton well: Stratton, as every one knows, was a carpenter, and so excellent a workman that he had little difficulty in getting all the jobs he could attend to. He earned good wages, had a pleasant home and a wife who was fond of him. The average carpenter would be content with this. Stratton was for a time, until he got to thinking of the silver and gold that he was sure was hidden away among the hills round about him. He brooded over the rumors that came to him and talked with his wjfe of the fine things they would own and the grand things they would do if he could only find the precious metal. She listened complacently and told her husband that it would be no harm for him to do a little prospecting If he so wished. The change would do him good, lie would have a healthful outing, even if he found nothing. So Stratton went. When he returned the fever was settled upon him and his troubles began. - They were not so bad at first, for Mrs. Stratton believed there was something in the stories he told her of the mines he almost found, and she let him go again and again out Into the wild country, from which he always returned more or les3 ragged and with nothing at ail for her but a new batch of stories. ' So she declared the mines were myths and said that he could do quite well enough for her by sticking to his trade. She had no objection to being rich If the dollars came easily, but she didn't care to be left alone weeks at a time and two or three times a year while her husband was off on a wild-goose chase, earning nothing at all. Stratton tried to settle down, but he was too restless. He coaxed his wife to let him off once more, but she would not say "yes. So tha carpenter determined to prepare him self wen. go orr quietly and stay out till ne found something so good that his wife would forgive his running away. The first part of the programme he carried out all right, but tho second part was a deal failure. He came back empty-handed; There was a scene. Stratton had nothing to say, but his wife said many things. Among others, she declared firmly that if It happened again she would leave, too. She would not stay at home to keep house for a innn wno didn't support her. She had had a hard time while he was away this trip. It never had been a pleasant home all alone. He was a good carpenter; let him stick to his trade and she would be happy. i Stratton was fond of his wife and of his home, and was penitent. He promised as she wished. He worktd hard, and everything went smoothly for months. ;. mi Mrs. Stratton thought her husband had forgotten that he had ever wanted a gold mine. But, alas for his contentment, a man came down from the. hills, a felljv who hai been eff with Stratton one one or two of his trips, and Stratton asked him to, his house. Mrs, Stratton begged her guest not to Ulk mines to her husband, and he agreed, but rcinehow Stratton learned that his friend had rcen strong signs of gold In Cripple Cr?ek, and that he would have stayed io follow, them up. but had gone "broke." Then Stratton's gold fever broke ou agsln. He knew his wife too well to broach the subject to her, so, trusting to the hold In her affections that he had stayed at home working for her must have effected, he went off quietly and stayed' this time until he found the mine. Tattered and torn, but full of joy, he returned to offer his forsaken wife everything that gold could buy. He felt sure of forgiveness. "When she sees that dust she'll forget the quiet leave I took," he said to himself. But she never saw the dust, for when Stratton reached his home he found it empty. His wife had been as good as her word. She had "gone off." too. She had done more than that. He found on inquiry that she had obtained a divorce and had married another man, an engineer on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, who Is now hauling or from Stratton's mine. His friends say he , will never recover from it. , MA.X WHO KILLED WILD BILL. The Trick liy Which He Fooled n Hand of Iynchers. Denver Field and Farm. "It was in 1876 that Wild Bill (William Hickok) was murdered in Deadwocd by Jack McCall. Nearly every one has heard the story of Wild Bill, but 1 am of the opinion that the story of the trial of McCall by a lynch court and his marvelous escape has never appeared In print," said Judge Shannon the other day. It was early in the seventies when the Judge went to Dakota under the appointment by General Grant as Territorial Chief Justice, ani probably no man is so familiar with the thrilling incidents connected with the early settlement by the whites. "McCall was afterward tried before me," he continued, "found guilty of jmurder in the first degree, sentenced to the gallows and subsequently hangfd at Yankton. During his trial all the Incidents of the murder and his escape were brought out. "Wild Bill was play!ng card, when McCall walked up behind him and shot him dead. The assassin was Instantly seized by those present, and a mob soon assembled that cried for blood. It was finally decided to organize a court and give him a trial for his life. A judge was selected, a Jury of twelve men was impaneled, and counsel was appointed for both the prosecution anl the defense. The prosecution made out a strong case of cold-blooded, , deliberate murder. When it came to the defense. McCall. who was a man of some education and ability, addressed the jury himself. He struck the only chord that was likely to vibrate to his Interests when he said; he had known Wild Bill down In Texas; that they were friends, and that he had Introduced him to his family. Wild Bill, he stated, had abused his friendship and betrayed Ills sister. For that crime he had visited vengeance upon him. "That began to put a new phase on matters. While they condemned him for shooting a nan without giving him a chance for his life, they regarded the killing as justifiable. But Just then the attorney for the prosecution came in. He asked fcr proof of McCall's story, and alleged that McCall's evidence should have no weight. McCall said he had been hunting for Wild Bill ever since the occurrence, and that he had no proofs of his statments beyond his own words, and that no sane man would walk up in a crowd and shoot another down unless he had cause for so doing. The Jury took the case and deliberated on it for some time, and finally returned with one of the queerest verdicts that has ever been heard of by : any. one. They were not sure of his guilt, so they decIJed to give him a chance for his life. "They put him on a fast horse, filled his pockets with bread and cheese, and gave nim a minute start, after which they woull kill him if they could. They were all armed with Winchester riSes and revolvers, and were good horsemen and excellent shots. When the word was given McCall started for his life. Before the minute was up he began throwing himself rapidly from one side to the other to divert the aim of his pursuers. At the end of the fateful minute the word was given, and the pursuit and fusillade began. It reems almost Incredible, but he escaped. He ran Into Wvoming. anl after about three weeks turned up in Cheyenne, whaia be was arrested by a United States

marshal and turned over to a marshal In Dakota. On trial It was shown that the story of his sister was a falsehood, cunningly devised to save his neck. He murdered Wild Bill for the notoriety of having killed the famous scout, and thoroughly deserved the execution that followed his conviction. But the verdict of that lynch jury was unique and original in criminal trials." WAR AGAINST FOREIGN GLASS.

American Manufacturers Will 3Ieet the Cats of Importers. PITTSBURG, March 23. It is announced to-night that the American Window-glass Manufacturers Association has authorized its jobbers in New York to meet any and every reduction on imported French . glass, even to the extrem of giving the product away If necessary. This order was brought about by Importers taking advantage of the restriction nlard nn the hv h association to quote prices which kept the American output at a stana still. Tne new move has already had the effect of having the importers ask for a conference with the association, which will be held here next Wednesday when it Is believed the Americans will secure their share of the eastern trade. THE SENATORIAL FROW.V, It Is Only Equaled In Coldness hy the Marble Heart. Washington Special In Philadelphia TelegTaph. If Senator Hale Is actuated by nothing but a sense of duty tn the fight he is making against the Cuban resolutions, he 13 making of himself a martyr to principle. Whatever sympathy he has In the Senate, except from those few who voted against tho resolutions in the first Instance, is carefully concealed. He is made the object of attack and contemptuous flings and Insinuations. In, the manner peculiar to Senators, everything is done to make hdm feel that he la In disfavor. Senators, as a body, have thetr'own peculiar way of expressing their displeasure. The senatorial frown 13 a thing- distinct and different from all other frowns or expressions of disfavor. It is largely Psychic It Is like a cold temperature which has gradually developed to the freezlnar rroint. When there is an overwhelming feeling of Gispicasure excited against one or a few members of the Senate it first manifests itself by a very deliberate falllnigr of the temperature. Senators may denounce In more or less direct language- anyone who does not belong to the senatorial circle, whether he is some common person or the President of the United States. But It is not customary nor in good form for them to denounce each other. When any of their numoer piacos mmseir. in such a position as to meet with the practically unanimous disapproval of the rert. the manifestation of .their displeasure is very solemn and. dignified. His colleagues begin by casting coia glances at mm, until he becomes like a pole, around which the ioe gathers, spreading in a constantly enlarging circle. Then they begin to talk at him. and. after a fashion, to patronize him; to arch their btows at ium; to be overpolite and formal with him, and to assume a , manner of sorely tried but patient tolerance. They give nim a. sort or Jesuitical rreeze-out. They turn the whites of their eves at him. The Southern ostracism is nothing to this senatorial censure. Such a mistake as a reference to the "Senator from Spain," when the Senator from Maine . is meant. followed by an overt a meet apology, is entirely natural In the case cf one situated as Mr. Hale Is. If two-thirds of the Senators look into the diplomatic gallery as soon as Mr. Hale addresses the chair, as if to see wnat audience he may have, that Is only a natural thins for them to do. If. on find ing several ladies there, they turn and look at him encouragingly, there is no need of his getting red in the face. This is simply one i ine senatorial ways. FLOHIDA ORANGE: CROP. In Some Respects Last Yenr's Freeze Waa n. DUeuUed Uleitslne. Jacksonville Letter. No more freezing being anticipated this season, the fate cf the orange grcves is considered settled. Major Fairbanks, president of the Florida Fruit Exchange, places the entire number of oranges shipped this winter at sixty thousand boxes, and predicts a double quantity in the winter of 1K-1S37. He shows faith in his own opinion by having his grove at Lake worth carefully attended. From Lake Worth down the entire east coast promises to become a vast orange grove In a few years, since the experience of th growers in the rormer so-called "orange belt they are buying lands further south that are absolutely frost-prcof. Manatee county con tributed a good crop of fine fruit this season. selling at Tampa at tt.50 per box and ratting on tne trees. Grapetruit was sold read ily at $5 per box. The groves on the west oast are not in such nne condition, but will yieu rruit next rail. The heavy frosts of the present season did no real damage. In all the southern counties the trees are In. full bloom, those on Lakes Weir and Apopka being loaded with the fra grant white stars. Captain By tie, of Lake eir, has rerused an offer on the hasis cf three hundred boxes at $3 per box on the trees. H. B. Plant, who has a large interest in the State, calls the disastrous freeze of 1&1 "a blessing in disguise," Inasmuch as it has forced attention from one crop to the rcanv. Truckers are already reaping the benefit. and money will be made In various varieties of fruits, that pay well, but have hitherto been lightly esteemed. Cocoacuts and pineries have risen to importance as possess ing greater recuperative power than the citrus family. Moreover, it is said that the age limit of a cocoanut treee has never been (satisfactorily determined. Their introJuetion to Florida soil was the result of a wreck on the coast in th faraway pioneer days. when quantities of cocoanuts were thrown on the shore. The Seminole Indians own some wild orange groves that they are too lazy to bud or graft with sweet, selling stock. However, they have victimized tourists- en mere than one occasion by boarding the trains and relling i sour oranges. And now tnose tourists will tell you that the Seminole Indian is quite capable of taking care of himself, and that any Intervention on the part ot Uncle S3m would be superfluous. The tourist season, la now at its best la Florida, owing to the lenten season, for which so many people wait before seeking the delights of winter travel. In March Florida is always at her best among the hoteu. still, it cannot be denied that thera have been fewer tourists this season than usual; fewer by one- .bird. Many of the expensive hotels are losing money, anl few of any class ara making It. The mildness cf tho Northern winter Is given as one caufe, and the tightness of the money market as another.

A Ga Consnmer' Grievanre. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Like many other persons who are ufferir.ff for the want of a sufficient gas prewure to give us comfortable fires, I have a grievance, and desire to tcore somebody. I am a patron of the Consumers' Gas Trust, which rollers from me every threa months In advance, and this winter they have failed to supply ma with Ras enough to warm the house, and part of the time two of the four flrea went cut entirely. If I complain at the efflce a smart young man, wlih a thick neck, retorts sharply, saying, "If you are not a;iffi?ii bring In your mixer," but fails to add "and gpt your mty back." If this la not a breacH cf contract or obtalnlrg money under false pretenses, what is it? They tell us the gas Ls failing and that they re doing for us all they can. I have spent feme weeks In a portion of the gas field this winter and can say that it is not failing, but Is strong and. abundant, and the people there are supplied, with all they want for two or four eioves ard one no two lights (Jumbo burners) for each room all fcr a year. I was there leasing lands for a gas company, and know what I am writing about. If the Consumers Gas Trut Intends to "continue to do business at the old tand" I would advise it. as. a friend, to sink more wells and turn on tn pressure at the reducing station. CONSUMER.
