comments while he real the Secretary's reech. "If the people .want this Cleveland-Carllsle-Sherman rule, all riht. let them ' have It; let them fry," he saiJ. "But I tell you I can pee the eni coming," said Mr. Tillman. "One thing I know, there la . a Clod In heaven, and a reckoning must come. We need a purification of public life. We wed a new constitutional convention to declare the people's rights and to tie the hand of the thieves wno are robbing: them. You are damming up their waters. But wait till there Is a full head on. You people are Kolnjr to see some fine grinding this year or within the next four years." Then, turning to Mr. Hill. Mr. Tillman said: "And now, fo the benefit of the Senator from "New York, whom I love the Senator whose motto 13, I am a Democrat' I will say, I am a Democrat, too; a Democrat after Jefferson and Jackson. He prates of rour.1 money;' I, 'hard money.' He is a Democrat for national banks; I for the national government." But the Senator added that the Democracy could not win In the coming election, if the farmers could be fooled into voting that ticket any longer, let them do It. "And what will I do?" the Senator asked of himself, and then answered; "I expect to go to Chicago as a delegate. I expect to try to get my party to throw off its rottenness. If he have to bid good-bye to New York and Tammany, I may shed a few tears. But If they succeed In buying a few more delegates as I understand they did in Michigan the other day o as to be able to indorse Grover Cleveland and 'sound money.' then I am going to take my hat and bid the Senator from New Y'ork and all like him a long farewell. Where I'll go, I don't know. I can't go to Fopullsm. Populism is only an explosion of wrath. The Populists tried too much and . spattered themselves on tne walls." The Senator declared that the Democracy was on Its final trial. If It did not pro

nounce for silver at Chicago it was gone for-. ever. "We may not beafyou this year," he concluded, dramatically, "it would be marvelous If a disorganized mass held together hy an Idea would defeat at the polls a wellOisclplired. comDact organizatian backed by money. But, so help me God, we will serve notice on you that our slogan Is 'America fcr Americans! To hell with Britain and her Tories! If we don't defeat you this year we will serve notice that we will Interest you in 1J0." With thse words Mr. Tillman ture as If to say: "I am done!" walked over and took his seat. HILL'S TURN TO SPEAK. When the Senate hid regained Its breath Mr. Hill, who had been taking notes, took the floor. At the outset-Mr. Hill characterized Mr. Tillman's speeceh as a "remarkable performance," and expressed douot. as to whether he did not err In making any ic sponse at all to anything that he had said. He, however, assured the Senate that ne should corJine' himself to some of the gratuitous, uncalled for and undignified remarks "of his friend Woo loved him." "The Senator has denied here to-day that he was a Popuiist." Mr. Hill then proceeded. "Le: me cay to him that what he has saii leads on the straight road to Populism, or, 'after a aue.' to some worse place." (Laugnter.) Ir. Hill congratulated ir. Tillman, however, on his assurance that he would not Join the Populist party. As to what the Democratic party would do at Ctilcigo, Mr. Hill declined to make a prediction, in view of 'the rapidity with which evehts were at present marcnln?. "But I say to the Senator from South Carolina that if he loves Jefferson and Jackson, and still represents his people, he will have no reason to leave the party he has served so well in he. past. As to Mr. Tillman' statement that he (Hill) no longer poke for New York, he admitted, smiling, that might b3 true. He recalled the fact tlvu previous to 1SD3 New York had remained In the Democratic line for eight years. "But," said he, "in 1832 State after State instructed for Grover Cleve-; land and free silver over the protest of the regular Democracy of New York. "You did not get free silver," he added, sarcastically, "but you got Grover Cleveland. Are you satisfied?" (Laughter.) Despite the erlous reverses the Democracy has since jsustained, he announced that in sunshine ornn shadow. In weal or Wjpe. he would be for the Democratlc party, and would support the nominee, no matter what the platform might be. This announcement was greeted with a marked demonstration of approval from the galleries. Pioceeding, he said that it was to the "everlasting credit and renown" of Mr. Sherman that he had acknowledged that the present Democratic administration, in the distressing circumstances confronting it. had done in duty. "Do you contend that while Congress is ?n session, charged with the duty of raising revenue, that the President has the right to take matters into hi3 own hands?" inquired Mr. Tillman. "I do not come frcm a State where the executive believe In fWlnir tho l o i. tntn ma own hand," returned Mr. Hill promptly. This seemed a ha.rd one for Mr. Tillman ami he sat down, bin Mi. Stewart of Ne Mr. Tillman interrupted to say that when a private citizen used another's funds it was called stealing. Now. what risrht had the President to take money raised for one purpose and use it for another purpose. "Perhaps the New York Senator can. understand that, but you can't get It into iha head of a farmer." "I would despair after the Senator's exhibition here." replied Mr. Hill, "to get anything into his head." Mr. Hill went on to show that Mr. Tillman and Mr. Sherman "occupy the same platform" as to gr-enback. adding that he would leave it to the two Senators to right It out between themselves. Mr. Tillman again interrupted to remark, rrom ycur views Sherman is a better Democrat than Cleveland and a better Democrat than you are yourself." "Then the Senator is defending the Democracy of Mr. Sherman?" asked Mr. Hill .'.at's. about n'" 3aid Mr- Tillman. That Is where I wanted to get you." responded Mr. Hill. CENTER SHOT AT TILLMAN. Mr. Hill turned his attention to Mr. Tillman's statement as to quitting the Democratic party. The New York Senator said the essential principle of the Democratic party was its recognition of the rule of the majority. The South Carolina Senator declares he will go to tae Chicago convention. Mr. Hill supposed tnat the Senator, hke a true Democrat, would abide by the decrees of the convention. "Jf he goes there with any other idea," exclaimed Mr. Hill, with ringing vehemence, "he ought not admitted and he will n,: be admitted " Mr. Til.man Interrupted this time, securing the permission of the Chair. He said parties were voluntary associations of Individuals who tnougat alike. They lastei only while tho individuals thought in common. Tne Democratic -party had split once before and,. In his Judgment, it was going to rplit again. The New York Senator wanted the majority to take a gold bug policy. But they -would not have It. ir K was forced upon them they would get out. . ..Ir;. 1U '00.k. hte, he3 at this response. "No." said he. "It will not do for my friend tc give that as the stvmiment or tne South. The Democracy of the South is not goinir to that convention with one !iea. The Democracy has more than one luea it would be blind folly for that great party to spilt on the financial question. There is more In Democracy than the single question of Sulver. L.Hf- Tillman asked. "Does not the New York Senator know that nowadays the President Ja the party, that a Senator like himself has no more consideration as to patronage since that man went into toe Unite House than any bootblack." Mr. Hill replied that the Democratic party was not confined to patronage. Mr. Hill went on to say that as "Democratic linen is being washed we better have it out." and he spoke of his associations with the administration. It was no: tru? he was It- defender. He sa'J little as to the administration except to revly to attacns as to bonds and his was without conferring with aJmln!r:ratlon leaders. He diTered with administration leaJers. While admirng the ablity of Mr. Carlisle the Senator believed Mr. Carlisle had made a mistake, a very serious mistake, when he failed to aid Senator Blackburn, wno was the Democratic caucus nominee before the Kentucky Leirilature. Keplylng to a remark of Mr. Allen. Populist, Nebraska, Mr. Hill asserted that the Populists o? Kentucky coull have electel Blackborn, but there, as here, they peddled out their votes first to one par.y then to the other. Mr. Allen resento! this insinuation. In answer to Mr. Hill's Interrogatory as to wiat would keep him In the Democratic party. Mr. Tillman sal J. tersely, "Sixteen to cno or bust." In the course of another pasapre at arms. . Mr. Tillman announcej that the people r.eeded a billion dollar. "We are going to have It." said he. "A mere trifle." sneered Mr. Hill. "What would yon do with ;t?" "BulM battle ship. and coat defense.," replied Mr. Tillman. "Put the tramp at work, net ever wheel in motion and make the country again prosperous anl happy." PROTEST AGAINST "PITCHFORKING." Mr. Hill ufil this r.nswer to show the depth to which the Drmocracy of .Siuth Carolina had fallen. Mr. Hill protested egalnst the reckless attacks on the President, the dragging in of minor pension vetoes merely to express personal venom. "In my Judgment he I not a candid?. te for renom-lLiw-V continued Mr. Hill. "The -atlonai

vada rusnea to nts rescue and asked permission to propound a question. "No. no." said Mr. Hill, waving him off; I draw the line at the Senator from Nevada."

convention will assemble In a few weeks. Let"i:s prepare ourselves against the common enemy Instead of quarreling among ourselves." Mr. Hill closed with an ape quotation, "In essentials unity, In nonessentials liberty, and In all things charity." An agreement was reached that a final vote on the naval appropriation bill would be taken before.' adjournment to-morrow. ' At the opening of the session Mr. Sherman secured the passage of a bill appropriating $73,000 for the expenses of the Bering sea cemmission, soon to meet at San Francisco to determine the amount of damages to ba paid for the seizure cf Canadian sealers in Bering sea. Mr. Butler, the North Carolina Populist, presented a bill making the Mexican silver dollar and the Japanese yen, each containing 371i grains of pure silver, and the trade dollar full legal tender dollars In the United States. In supporting the bill Mr. Butler declared that If the federal government would not make these sliver coins legal tenders, then the States had the power to so recognize them. If Congress did not act, Mr. Butler said, he would advise the State of North Carolina to exercise it3 constitutional rights in this direction, and he hoped other States would adopt the same course. The bill was passed for the disposal of public reservations In vacated town sites in Oklahoma Territory. The naval appropriation bill was then taken up, the question being on the amendment of Mr. Gorman reducing the number of battle ship3 from four, as reported, to two. Without further speeches, a yea and nay vote was taken, resulting in the adoption of the Gorman amendment 31 to 27 as follows: Yeas Republicans: Baker.

Mr. Allen followed with an amendment, striking out all battle ships, which was defeated 13 to 44. The Senate adjourned at 5:33 p. m. TIIK BANKRUPTCY HILL. Gen. IlenderHon, Quote from a Letter "Written by UenJ. Ilnrrlnon. WASHINGTON, May 1. The House again devoted the major portion of the day to debate on the bankruptcy bill. Several amend-' ments were offered, but none were adopted. A bill to 'provide for a delegate In Congress from the Territory of Alaska was defeated 14 to CO. Mr. Scranton called up the bill and spoke of the development of the Alaska mining and fishing industries and the Increase of population In the last fifteen years. Its vast area rendered it proper and necessary that It should have a well-ln-fcrmed representative In the House. There were, he said, over 10,000 white Americana In Alaska. Mr. Perkins opposed ' the bill, urging the migratory nature of the whHe population and the Improbability that Alaska could ever be given even a territorial government, certainly not for many years to come. He declared the pressure for the bill came from Alaskan corporations. In the course of the debate on the bankruptcy bill, 'Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, said that from a letter received from a distinguished citizen of Indiana, he would quote the following: "I think the impression of seme of our Western boards of trade on the bankruptcy question was that by teason of the nearness of our merchants to their customers they had an advantage with a bankrupt debtor." The writer. Mr. Henderson said, was Benjamin Harrison, "who, as President or as private citizen, stands for every part of this country and for all its great Interests." A bill was passed to authorize the free Importation of foreign exhibits to the Tennessee exposition, and the report in the contested election case of Wilson vs. McLaurin, from the Sixth South Carolina district, confirming the title of the sitting member to his seat, was adopted.

BITUMINOUS STRIKE

WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS THE MINES WEIIB DESBRTED YESTERDAY. A Friendly Receiver in the DreyfoKle Bank Failure Removed Lutheran Synod. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERR E HAUTE, In J., .May l.-The reports received here are that all the Wtumdnous miners In the State north of the O. & M. road are out to-day except one hundred at the Chicago and Indiana Coal Company's mine, at Dugger, and about as many more at Seeleyville and Turner, ten miles east of here on the Vandalia road. None of this coal goes to the Chicago market and tthe operators are paying 60 cents instead of 55, the amount fixed by the operators' State Association. The Dugger mine is owned by a Pittsburg man and an operator has gone there ito ask him to join in the general movement. The miners expect other operators to yield. The conditions are not the same wWch brought on the trouble in 1894, when the militia was ordered out. The lawlessness then arose through the effort of the miners in Sullivan and Vermillion counties to prevent the shipment of Kentucky coal through their territory to Chicago. The coal from Illinois, especially from the Danville district, will supply tne customers of the Indiana operators who may run out. It is this cheaper mined coal of -the Danville district that has caused the cessation of coal mining in the bituminous field in this State. The operators say their customers, including the railroads, have enough coal to last thirty days. The Danville, 111., field has been developed In the past fouror five years. Chicago and St. Louis men went in there and got hold of Ithe coal land at a nominal price. New shafts are being sunk in all directions and the output is constantly increasing. The coal is of almost as good quality as that mined in this State and it is nearer the Chicago market. It is out of the reach of the miners' organization ana tne coal does not have to pass through the strike territory. Some Terre Haute men thought of going into the field several years ago, but did not, and they now see how they could have made thousands there -where they have made hundreds In this State. Diggers Win at Hymera. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBURN, Ind., May 1. Five of the six mines in this immediate vicinity are idle. Hymera mine will resume work to-morrow, the company acceding nearly all the miners' demands. Machine runners will receive $2.25 per day; shooters, $2, and loaders, $1.80. This lends the other men confidence, and they declare to-night that rather than work for 55 cent3 per ton they will seek different employment, and unless the operators come to their terms It looks as if the strike will be long. Much suffering will ensue should it be prolonged for many weeks, as there is absolutely nothing else for the men to do and Impossible for many to get away. There is no sign of trouble.

SONS OF ELI VICTORIOUS. Harvard Defeated In the Annual Delmtlnfc Contest. NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 1. There is unrestrained jubilation in this city over the victory wen by the Sons cf Eli in the annual debating contest between Harvard and Yale this evening. In the seven previous debates between the two rivals, Harvard Invariably downed her opponent, and has ofi?n had an easy time In "the forensic struggle. The debate this evening, however, was one of the most closely contested In which the crimson an! blue have ever participated. The Yale debaters did not deliver any set and memorized arguments, but depended on their ability to spontaneously combat any arguments presented by Harvard. On the other hand, the latter confined themselves to the course of argument they had prepared, and did not manifest the ease or control or the subject of their opponents. The judges were less than three minutes In arriving at a decision. The result of the debate this evening practically fettles the Intercollegiate forensic supremacy this year, as each bas wen from Princeton. The subject was: "Resolved. That a permanent court of arbitration should be established between Great Britain and the United States." Harvard had the affirmative and Yale the negative. The debaters were: HarvardFrank R. Steward. '96; A. M. Sayre. W. Barker. S7. Ya!e-R. S. Baldwin. L. S. XV. H. Clark. '$. and A. P. Stoker. Jr.. 9i The Judges were Elihu Root, of New York. Walter H. Page, editor cf the Atlantic Monthly, and Albert Shaw, eiltor of the Review of Reviews. Hon. E. W. Ffcelps presided.

KILLED WITH DRUGS (Concluded from Flyst Page.) I ' which the negro and the party were in and showed them the way part of the time?" "Yes, sir." "With your lantern?" "Yes eir." "Was it a dark night?" "Yes, sir." "Was the road muddy?" "Yes, sir." "Now how long did it take the party to go over that road?" "About an hour." They were an hour going over the Threemile road alone, the witness said. Still, George Jackson insists that he started to drive Jackson and Walling over that way to Fort Thomas by way of that road at 1:15 a. m. It Is also in evidence that Walling went to Helder's Hotel at about 3 p. m. In other words, according to George Jackson's story, the rockaway made the round trip in less than three hours. "Did you hear any conversation between Sheriff Plummer and juieutenani of Police Renkert?" f "No, sir." ; Witness was then excused and James Allison, a newspaper reporter, was called. Colonel Crawford quetioned Mr. Allison. "Were you at the Hamilton county Jail w hen George Jackson was supposed to identify Scott Jackson?" "Yes sir." "Tell us 'about if . "Well, we all stood In a row, the prison ers among us. George Jackson came in and did not hesitate in selecting Walling, stating that he was the man who sat on the seat of the cab. When he started to identify Jackson he said he did not see him, but could tell his (Scott Jackson's) voice. Driver Jackson then thought I was Jackson. Some one called out the name 'Jackson' and Scott Jackson, thinking they were calling him, stepped out of the line and then coachman Jackson identified him." Witness was excused, the prosecution not wishing to question him. Court tthen adjourned until 2 o'clock. As the jury was leaving the room attorney Crawford leaned over and said to Allison: "You made a good witness. You talked to the point." Colonel Nelson caught the remark and protested to ithe court that he believed the jury also co:ld hear it. The court admonished Attorney Crawford and the court adjourned. ' Allison's testimony as to the ease with which Walling was Identified was another Incident In the many occurring in this trial which make it dark for Walling. AFTERNOON SESSION. . The afternoon session began promptly at 2 o'clock, with the court room filled to its utmost capacity. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and Frank Bryan, father, mother and brother of the murdered girl, took their usual seats, Mr. Bryan taking his place among the attorneys for the prosecution. Jackson sat down near his brother-in-law, Dr. Post. Judge Helm came In a moment later, the jury took their seats, and all was in readiness to begin. Reporter Allison took the stand again. He said coachman Jackson did not Identify the prisoner when he talked. He did not identify Scott Jackson until he stepped out of the crowd. , David R. Locke, a brother of John Locke, on whose farm Pearl Bryan's body was found, took the witness stand. He was formerly chief of the Newport police. He said he visited the scene when the body was found. "I was one of the first there," he said.' "We looked for tracks and found some leading from the Alexandria pike to Highland avenue. I saw where some person had crossed the fence after the rains. I then discovered these same footprints above the privet bushes leading to the Alexandria pike. I found no tracks of a woman. The tracks were from a new shoe, and I thought about an or 9 shoe. A broad toe made the tracks." Colonel Crawford then showed the witness Jackson's shoes and asked him how the shoes compared with the tracks. "I think," answered the witness, "that the tracks were made by a larger and different shoe. The toes are too narrow. These shoes did not make those tracks." Witness then described the surroundings of the scene where the body was found, in answer to a question as to the position of the body when he saw it Mr. Lock said the hands were clutched and the arms outstretched. He looked carefully at the body and noticed that the rubbers on the shoes were perfectly clean. The stockings had not a particle of mud or dirt on them. At the neck on the ground there was a pile of blood, not a pool. He looked for blood spots on the ground, but found none of any size. There was a small spot about three feet from where the body lay, and at. first he . thought he saw blood on the privet bushes, but when he carefully examined the leaves of the bushes he found them to be wet, but there was not a trace of blood. The witness gave it as his opinion that the body had been carried to the spot where found and laid there, as the shoes and rubbers were perfectly clean. He found traces In the damp earth of but one man's footprints,-and there were no evidences of any struggle having taken place. Prosecution took witness. Colonel Nelson asked if the stockings were wet, and the witness replied that they were not, neither was there any mud on the shoes. Thought a person could walk from the pike to where the body was found and not get shoes muddy. "Did you examine the bush for blood?" "Yes, sir." "Did you make a test to see If It was blood?" "No, sir." "Could ycu tell wdiether it was blood?" "I could not." . To Colonel Crawford the witness had stated the body appeared to have been there six or eight hours. Colonel Nelson got him to admit that he could not tell whether It had been there over two hours or not. Colonel Nelson At what ancle was the body lying?" "About fifteen degrees, with the head down." MAN WHO SHAVED JAiCKSON. Colonel Crawford then read the deposition of Fred Albion, the barber, who testified that he was twenty years old, a barber by trade, and now living in Canal Dover, O. He had known Jackson since last Christmas, and had shaved Jacson on Jan. SL Jackson came to the shop and wanted to be trusted for a haircut. Witness guyed him about his whiskers, and told him they ought to be cut, too. Jackson stood the guying a little while and then consented to have them cut off. R. W. Lawrence, a boy of fifteen, In the barber shop where Albion worked, at 13J West Sixth street, testified that Scott Jackson came into the barbar shop almost every day or evening, and on the Friday morning in question. Jan. 31, Jackson came in and Albion shaved him, and while doing so, wet his beard and twisted it up with the a:d of cosmetics and made Jackson look funny. Albion teas;d Jackson about It, and he finally had it cut off. Mr. Smith Van Fossen, of the HockettPuntenriey Piano Company, testified to Pearl Bryan's coming Into the store on Wednesday and looking at some pianos. She said her name was Pearl Bryan, and that she wanted to look at a piano for her sister, Mrs. Stanley. She was In the store about an hour. Van Fossen's testimony was finally ruled out, and he was only permitted to say that the young woman appeared to have a good knowledge of pianos. The deposition of Harry Hamilton, a clerk at the Albion Hotel, was read by Colonel Crawford. Witness testified that on Jan. 2S a man came to the desk and asked If that would be a safe place to bring a young girl who was not used to the city. He wanted her to stay all night, as he was to go to workthe next morning and she was not used to the city. The man, who appeared to be a farmer, came in about 10:10 p. m. Witness described the j-ounj; woman, the description tallying very closely to that of Pearl Bryan. The young woman appeared to be in a family way. Sfie was registered as Mary Barr. Witness had gone to the Jail, but had failed to Identify either Walling or Jackson as the man who had come with the young woman to the hotel. Colonel Crawford then took up the testimony of George H. Jackson, the allegej driver. Samuel Ewing, colored, residing at No. 521 West Sixth street, stited that Jackson was at his house from 9:30 to 1:30 on the nlsht of Friday, Jan. 31. In fact, it was nearly 2 a. m. before he left Ewing's house. There was court-martial there that night of James Smith, a member of the Caldwell Guards, and the guards hid noi drilled on that night, but on .Saturday niffht. ' Ida Ewing. living at No. 521 West Sixth street, said G?crge H. Jackson was there from 9:30 to 2 o'clock. The drill of the Caldwell Guards was on Saturday and no: Friday night. William Downey, another member of the Caldwell Guards, testified that the guards drilled on Saturddv and not Friday nlsht. James Smith, a porter at the Palace Hotel, deposed that George H. Jackson was at Ewing's house Friday nisht, and that the drill was cn Saturday night. The following members corroborated tho above: Howard Scott. Blair Sloat, Edward R. Stunts, Sherman LawsDn, Edward Morby, John Lee, George Smothers. Ie and Howard testified that there was a drill for a few minutes on Friday night, and that the officers there all went to Ewing's house at 3:30. Dr. J. S. Frald said Jackson had had an epileptic fit and he had attended him.4Carrie Beckwjth said George Hj JAckson had a fit In lur house. This was Cunoborated by Alice Beckwith. Charles Beckwith, a schoolboy, hai Known

Jackson two years. The guards had drilled Saturday , night. MRS. JACKSOX ILL.

ot In Court Friday Morning, as Warn Expected. Mrs. Jackson, the mother of Scott Jackson, is in Newport She arrived Thursday night, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Edwin F. Post, of Greencastle. Mrs. Jackson had not called on her son "when court convened to-day. She is a very sick woman and the effects of her journey were very exhausting. She immediately repaired to a house on York street within a square of the Jail, where she wnTremain daring-the trial. It was expected that she would call at the Jail, but she did not. She was not in court to-day and is not expected to tes-titfy. It may be some days before she appears in court. Will Wood will be called in rebuttal as against the evidence cf Scott Jackson. Young Wood is exceedingly angry over the way his name was used by his one-time friend. He says that Jackson's story is a "fairy tale" from begining to end, and he will take opportunity during his testimony to defend the honor and reputation of the murdered girl, who, ne says, was absolutely blameless until she was under the iniluence of the prisoner. There Is an Important letter which Jackson wrote to Wood shortly before Pearl Bryan came to Cincinnati and Wood will tes.ify as to its contents. The letter, the prosecution claims, will 5how that Jackson's motive was much deeper than he admitted. It will show that Jackson, not .Wood, was responsible for the girl's shame. Major Blackburn, Will Wood's attorney, in an interview during che recess, declared that Jackson made a superb witness Thursday. He declared that under the same circumstances no one couii have done better, but that there were manv weak points In the testimony which at the proper time would undoubtedly prove bad for the defendant. He regarded it as a bad mistake for the defendant to have acknowledged having Illicit relations with the murdered girl. Major Blackburn thinks Jackson and ailing are both guiky and looks for their conviction. Thtnkn Pearl Ya Here. The family of Roy Lane, 24 West Pratt street, are of the opinion that Pearl Bryan may have passed at least a part of the night on which she is thought to have reached this city on her way to Cincinnati in an outbuilding on their premises. Early in the morning following Mrs. Lane discoverei a young woman sleeping in the washhouse. The appearance of the stranger was such that she was invited into the house and Mrs. Lane sought to ascertain how she came to be compelled to seek such poor shelter. Tne young woman, however, would my; talk, except to say that she was on her way to friends in Highland, place and, becoming tired, had crept into the washhouse to rest. The description of Pearl Bryan tallies almost exactly with that of the young woman, even to the clothing. OBITUARY. Prof. Geffcken, a Xoted German Authority on International Law. (MUNICH. May 1.
