Proceeding nt the Second Senalnn of the (lunrircnnlnl Confrrfnrr. CLKVKLAXD. O.. May 2. -Aside from the episcopal address, which was read by Bishop U'arrtn. of Ienver. there was nothing cf especial Interest In -the second day's procecdlnes of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference. The four women delegates who are likely to prove ft bone of cententlon continued to occupy their seats ami vote tic ame as male delegates, bat -their fate will probably be decided at a secret meeting which is beins held this evening. Upon the report cf this committee. Which will jirobubly be submitted on Monday, the flh-t of the conference is to bo made, and tt la not likely that much other business will be trarsacted until that question is disposed cf. The weather has been warm and pitasant to-day. In spite of the threatened aspect of the sky at times, and attendance of the conference was large. It was Bishop Foster's' turn to preside. lie called the delegates to crder and Dr. E. W. Parker, of India, oineJ the session with scriptural retain?. The presiding officer was forced to allude to the confusion and disorder', that characterized yesterday's proceedings. He suggested that business be transacted In an orderly manner, and aided that quiet could cot be sustained without: the co-operation of the delegates. lie said delegates should give their name and conference be-fore being recognized. Bishop Foster then gave a lecture on order and It was evident that he did not desire a repetition Gf,yesterdays a.sorder. . . Dr. Wlih, of Kentucky, Introduced a resolution for the appointment of a serfreant-at-arms to maintain order In the rear of the , auditorium. The resolution was amen led to ihave the conference bear the expenses and was agreed to. Mr. P. H. Swift, of Chicago, desire! that a committee on Kpworth League be appointed to consider of one member from each annual conference. It was passed against opposition. A committee of seven on rules was appointed. Then Dr. Neely moved the appointment of a committee of eighteen on constitution, flf te en to be by districts and three at largo. Tnis t one of the greatest questions w.iich will come before the conference and tne broaching of the subject caused a decided flurry. Amendments were orrered. The nrst was for the committee to consist of two m embers from each district contcrence cf the General Conference. Mr. Bfntley, of Missouri, moved that the- committee consist of nine, to be appointed by the bishops. Tnis was violently opposed by L. M. Shaw, of Des Moines. A grat deal of contusion prevailed until finely Dr. Payne, of New York, moved to lay the motion for a committee of nine on the table ar.d It was promptly done. lr, Tet'.r shut off debate by moving the previous question anl the motion wa.- carried. Chaplain C. C. McCabe read a telegram stating that Dr. John M. Iteed Is at the point of death. The conference ordered a telegram of sympathy sent to Mrs. Reed. LAYMEN SCOKE A POINT. Dr. Leroy M. Belt, of Ohio, then brought the laymen question to the front. As the church tands at present, nine separate collections are taken up each year for the benefit of certain benevolences. These are too frequent, think the laymen,' and they alio desire to consolidate some of the papers. Dr. Belt moved the appointment of a committee of laymen and clergymen from each district and three at large to consider the feasibility of simplifying the benevoiencej. Dr. Smith moved that all papers and resolutions on this subject be referred to the regular committee on temporal economy. Dr. Belt would not permit this, and Dr. Smith's motion was laid on the table. The first skirmish was won by the laymen. Mr. Hynett wanted to add one clergyman aait one layman from each society to the committee. Dr. Buckley opposed this and made a humorous and vigorous address. Dr. Hynett's amendment was laid on the table and Dr. Belt's motion was carried. All information on this subject was ordered referred to this committee. Dr. Homer Kuton, of Troy, X. Y.. presented a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of five on memoirs on officers who havr died In the past five years, and Dr. C. II. Payne, of New York, offered one authorizing the appointment of a committee of live on frateinal delegates. Uoth resolutions were adopted. At half past 10 o'clock Bishop Warren, of Denver, began the reading of the episcopal address. It was ten thousand words in length, and was in the nature of a report on behalf of the Board of Bishops to the conference. It embodied an exhaustive review of the work of the conference during the past four years. Reports were made concerning the missionary work. Sunday school, church extension, freedmen's aid bureau work, and on the subject of discipline. The adiress concluded as follows: The world will come to see this whn human thoughts grow large enough. Abhorrence of. sin will be measured by the cost of redemption therefrom. Men will become great as they are holy, God-like as they labor for men and for more than world-wide interest. Then shall national diplomacies not pertain merely to little islands, but to universal brotherhood. Wo shall cease to regard the gospel of Christ as a theory, a system of doctrine, a pardon only, a bestowal of joy, a means of fretting to heaven, and regard It as Paul did, as a power a power of self, and work for others unto salvation, present and eternal. Then shall the church, redeemed, not by corruptible things, as silver and prold, but by the precious blood of Christ, go Joyfully and triumphantly to the accomplishment of the great commission given to it by the Master in the hour of His ascension, to 'go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. " At the conclusion of the address the conference adjourned. WOMEN MAY BE SEATED. The committee on eligibility, which was appointed 'at yesterday's session to consider the question whether the women delegates shall ibe permitted to sit In the conference, met this .afternoon at the First M. E. Church. The entire afternoon wa3 devoted to a discussion. In which the opponents of the women took the leading part. Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley, editor of the New York Christian Advocate, took the lead in opposing the seating of the women. He said it would be In violation of the constitution, doubly so, because at the last General Conference an amendment had been proposed to the constitution, that amendment having teen submitted to the annual conferences in the meantime and defeated. Dr. Buckley said ho did not opposo giving women the right to vote on the supposition that the right tp vote would mean the right to be voted for, for it often happened that the miter right did not go with the former. iRev. Dr. D. II. Moore, of Cincinnati, spoke in favor of seating the women. After discussing the question until 6 o'clock the committee adjourned to meet at 7:C0 in the evening. The ever.lng session was strictly tecret, but it was learned on reliable authority that a vote was taken which resulted 20 to 11 in favor of permitting the women delegates to retain their seats in the conference. A minority report will be submitted. There was a meeting of ths laymen's association this afternoon to consider the question of time limit for clergymen. A minister is now permitted to remain In one place but five years. At the meeting this afternoon a paper was read, in which it was urged that the time limit be extended. If the congregation and minister desired it, end the approval of the conference and the consent of the presiding elder and bishop were obtained. A discussion followed the reading of the paper, which showed that there was a reat divergence of opinion on the subject. Finally a committee of fifteen was appointed to take the matter under consideration and submit to the conference a report of Its attlon. At a meeting of laymen to-night It was drcidfd by a vote of 67 to 13 to demand qual representation In future conferences lor laymen and ministers. Senator Hariand, of Wyoming, was chosen to present the action of that meetlnjr to the conference. During the afternoon meetings of the fourteen district conferences were held for the purpose of selecting members of the committee on judiciary, the committee on cor.stltuion and a committee to consider the preposition to consolidate all the benevolent institutions of the church In one general organization. The?e committees were not all completed when he conference adjourned. , A large audience assembled at the Armory to-n'ht to listen to an address by Rev. J. B. Hamilton on the conference claimants in other words, the superannuated ministers. The speech was rot delivered, the presiding elder dismL&sing the audience with the explanation that the delegates were tired. Mr. Hamilton said afterward that he had not been permitted to speak at former conferences tncaue the subject was an unpopular one. Oihtr dUgates said it was doubtful whether he would be permitted to speak fc?re Obituary. FALL. RIVER. Mass., May 1 Philip D. n:--i?n. the cl.Wt active manufacturer In t!.'

LE0N1STS SURRENDER

rCACi: ItllKiNS AGAIN IX THE HE- " 'PUBLIC OF 3ICARAGCA. Zelayaa Troops In Possession of the Itebel StronKhold Flight of Leaders of the Insurrection. MANAGUA. Nicaragua, May -The President of the rebels. General Eaca, sent a commission of the foreign merchants of Leon to President Zelaya and to the American minister, Lewis Baker, who arranged for terms of peace. President Zelaya demanded an unconditional surrender. This was finally agreed to and the government troops, with flying colors, entered Leon today and took possession of the city. The Insurgents surrendered all of their ammunition. The rebel generals, their president arul the various ministers left the country to save their lives. .Minister Gamez has offl cially notified United States Minister Baker that the war has en Jed and thai peace has been established. The port of Corinto will be opened to commerce. in a few days. It la expected that the American man-of-war Alert will sail north soon. WASHINGTON, May 2. According to a cablegram from Managua, Nicaragua, received here from private" sources, the rebellion -which has raged in that country for the past four months has been brought to an end by the surrender last night of the rebel forces, whose headquarters were at Lecn. There are hints that further trouble may . ensue, however, unless considerable concessions are made by President Zelaya to the conservative interest- During the rebellion, which was caused by the demands of a large element In the Liberal party, now in power, on President Zelaya, which he refused to concede, the Conservatives stood by the President, making certain conditions as the price for their support. RHODES IX DISUItACE. He May lie Ordered Home for Trial lli Love Affair. NEW YORK, May 3. A special to the World from London says: Cecil iRhodes's career Is regarded as ended. There seems to be no possible way for him to rehabilitate himself and it is quite probable that he will be ordered home by the imperial government to take his trial with Jameson. .His frlend3 are profoundly apprehensive that such a command might result either in the tragic termination of his life or in his flinging back a defiance at the imperial authorities, which might result in war with the mother country and ultimate establishment of the United States of South America. There is a story current in the clubs which, if true, may explain the previously cautious, self-contained Cape dictator's amazing recklessness in all these recent proceedings. When in London last year, the report goes, he fell in love with the widow Georglna. dowager Countess of Dudley, still one of the most admired of Knglish beauties, although she has now been a grandmother for two years. The lady is said to have declined his offer of marriage, declaring she 13 resolved never to marry again. Ever since this rebuff Rhodes la said by his friends to have been a changed man, having grown more reserved and arrogant than before, rejecting off-hand the restraining counsels of. his former advisers. He had. never before hown the slightest fancy for women. He had always made it a point to have about him no married men. The effect of such a. disappoitment on a man of his immense self-will and pide may well have been what his friends now assert. "Will Intercede for Hammond. WASHINGTON, May. 2. F. W. Jewell and wife, of Johannesburg, and attorney Treslow, accompanied by Senator White, called on the President to-day regarding the case of John Hays Hammond. Mr. and Mrs. Jewell are going direct to Cape Town to intercede with President Kruger In behalf of Hammond and will carry the congressional petition started by Senator Stewart to him. Mr. Jewell said to the President that the first thing that President Kruger would ask would be, did they see the President of the United States, and they desire to assure him they had. Both Mrs. and Mrs. Jewell are well acquainted with President Kruger and his wife. President Cleveland was much interested in what they, had to say, and expressed appreciation of President Kruger and his ability to cope with affairs arising in his country. He also expressed the hope that the mission of Mr. and Mrs. Jewell would be successful. Hungary Millennial Exhibition. BUDA-PESTH, May 2. Emperor Francis Joseph to-day opened the millennial exhibition here. His Majesty wore the uniform of a Hungarian general, and was accompanied by the Empress. The Minister of Commerce, Ernest De Daniel, .met their Majesties at the gates and made a patriotic speech on the millennium of Hungary, expressing the great joy felt by all present, as well as by Hungary In general, that their King and Queen had enhanced the glory of the exhibition by their presence. The Emperor replied, dwelling upon the pleasure he felt at being able to open the exposition which marked the existence for a thousand years of the Hungarian state, eulogized the Hungarian nation, and expressed his complete confidence in the loyalty of the Hungarians. The Mntabele Revolt. LONDON, May 2. A- dispatch from Buluwayo, dated Mjv 1. says that the town is quiet. The Matabeles and a troop of cavalrymen commanded by Captain Gifford recently exchanged shots at Hope Foutain. The iMaitabeles quickly retired. A report from Salisbury says that the British column engaged the Matabeles on Queque river, near Gwelo. The rebels lost thirty men and retreated towards MavenskraaL No British casualties are reported. LISBON, May 2. It Is reported here that two hundred Englishmen have gone forward to Mashonaland. traveling in bands of fifty, over the Biera railroad. Slty Miners Killed. VICTORIA. B. C. May 2. The steamer Mlowera brings the particulars of the explosion in the Brunner colliery, near Wellington, New Zealand, on March 27. Of the sixty men entombed not one escaped death. If not killed by the first explosion they could not have long stood the deadly gases. All but twelve were married men, most of them wHh large families, and by the death of the bread-winners 250 women and children were left desolate. The Czareivltch'a Condition. NICE, May 2. The Czaxewitch "passed a restless and feverish night. His mother, the ex-Empress of Russia, was at his bedside during the greater part of the night. The physicians in attendance upon the sufferer have ordered a change of air, but his condition prevents him from being moved at present. . . TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who has been ill at San Francisco, is now out of danger. Insurance Commissioner Llnehau has denied the application of the Iron Hall to do business in New Hampshire. The Moultcn Leather Company, with factories at Lynn, Mass., has assigned to A. W. Pope & Co., of Boston, for $13LS,000. Most of the claims against the concern are held in New York and Philadelphia. At Nelsonville. O., yesterday Fred Douglass gave himself up to the police for killing Dow WiKum. his brother-in-law. Mr. .and Mrs. Willum .had separated. Last night vuaum, against- tae warning ol ucugKiss, tried to break into his wife's house, whereuron Douglass shot him. Minister MacDonald, at Teheran, cabled Secretary Olney to-day that the Grand Vizier of Persia returned thanks for the prompt expression of sympathy from the United States on the assassination of .the Shah. Yesterday the President, on receipt of news of the Shah's death, 6ent a cablegram expressing regret. Jones, the Mint Thief, Convicted. CARSON, Nev., May 2. The jury in the Jones mint case brought in a verdict At guilty this afternoon. He will appear for sentence Monday. So far as the public knows, this ends the celebrated Carson Mint fraud cases.

I am sure he went to his room. I heard him go." : "How long did you remain, in the dining room that Friday night?" Until about lQJZo o'clock." "Was the door opened from the dining room to the hall?" . "I sit where I can see who comes in and who goes out; the door is always open. I sat there that evening." "Did Scott Jackson leave the house while you sat there?" "No. sir, he did not." "Could he have got out any other way?" "No. sir; he could not." "Where did you go after you went up stairs?" ; "I went to my room and read until about midnight.'" "Did you hear any one leave your house during that time?" "No, sir; I did not." "Could any one have gene out without you hearing triem?" "No, sir; I think not." "Did you see Jackson Saturday morning?" -"Yes. sir." "How many persons slept In Jackson's bed Friday night?" , "Two persons." "Did you make the beds?" "Yes, sir." "How many persons slept la the ted Thursday night?" "One person." "When did the detectives first come to your house?" "Wednesday, the day Jackson was arrested." "Who were the detectives?" "I think Crawford and Schnucks. They asked for Jackson, but I said he was not in. I asked them what they wanted, but they said they just wanted to cee Jackson. Then they went out and Chief Deltsch came. Tiien the detectives came back and I tried to get them to tell me what they wanted Jactson for, and then they asked me If I knew whether Jackson knew any girls in Greencastle or not. I knew they were officers, and I had read of the Fort Thomas murder, end I said to them: "'Oh, it couldn't have been Mr. Jackson, for he was in tiie house Friday nigh: Then I told them (the detective?) that they could go up to Jackson's room. I and a detective went up to the room, and he asked me to tell him which was Jackson's trunk. I told him I didn't know, but the detectives raised the lid of the trunk and took out a letter addressed to Mrs. Jackson. Walling came in at this tirfjvand I and the detective slipped out. Then 'while I waited for Mr. Jackson to coma In to point him out to the police he wag arrested"on the sireet." Court a: this point adjourned until 2 o'clock. ; . AFTERNOON SESSION.

Meeting o:f Scott Jackson and Ills Suffering 3Iother. Among the first visitors in the court room Saturday afternoon was Mrs. Jackson, the mother of Scott Jackson. Crowds began to pour in as soon as the door.3 were opened, and the turnout of ladles was greater than at any time before. Many of them came in anticipation of seeing Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Jackson, assisted by Mrs. Dr. Lie wis, at whose residence she is staying while in Newport, entered, slowly and with great effort made her way to the chair reserved for her near where Jackson's empty chair stood. Beside her Mrs. Lewis sat and looked after the venerable lady with watchful care. Mrs. Dr. Post sat directly behind Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Jackson was dressed entirely in black and wore a black bonnet. On her breast she wore the white ribbon of the Woman's Temperance Union, of which organization she is an active member. She did not look particularly dckly, but was very pale and with difficulty held up her head. It could be plainly seen that she resembled the prisoner .and any one who saw the two would pick her as Scott Jackson's mother. When she entered she held a bunch of white flowers in her hand, which It was supposed she would give her son when he was brought in. Jackson came promptly at 2 o'clock. With a quick step he walked to his mother's side and kissed her on the forehead. They seemed to be delighted to see each other, and conversed together until the proceedings began and their attention was attracted to other things. The Jury filed In a moment later and Miss McNevin again took the stand. Colonel Crawford continued his examination. The night Jackson was arrested, the said. the detectives and reporters flooded the house. The detectives took everything they could find to police headquarters. They took Walling. A reporter came for a hypodermic syringe. None was found in the room. On Sunday morning detectives Crim and McDermott found a pail of lady's hose in the room. She handed them a cap. They took away some underwear. "Had any officer looked behind the trunk before the stockings were found?" asked Colonel Crawford. "Yes; detective Bulmer." Colonel Nelson then took the witness for cross-examination. "What business were you In before you took the boarding house?" "Was in millinery business, and later worked for Alms & Doepke." "How many roomers did you have?" "About ten." - "Did you sec all your roomers every day?" "Yes sir." COLONEL NELSON'S SARCASM. "Did you keep such close watch that you could tell when they went out and came In?" "Yes, sir; for reasons." "Did you see them when they came in at night?" "Not always.". The reason she kept so close a watch on the rooms, she said, was because the hall door was open and all the roomers placed their. things in charge of the keepers of the boarding house. The reason the doors were kept open was because the students would mislay the keys, break them in the doors and then call the people of the house at all hours. The object of leaving the house door open all night was to let the roomers come and go Just the same as if they had keys. . Miss McNevin was then asked to oegin with Jan. 20 and tell where Walling and Jackson were every hour of the week ensuing. She said she could not. She ould not do this with regard to the other boarders. She could tell every hour t isy erne in and went out, she said. . . She could see them come in and go cut In the hall from the dining room, which door was open. The dining room is used for a sitting room. Not all the roomers had friends. Some of them did. She did not know any of her roomers any great length of time. Yet, she said, she knew whom they brought in with them. 6he could tell what room they went to by the sound of the door. She could tell the sound of every door in the house, she said. It was her business to watch all comers and goers. There were "ome times when she was not on the watcn and therefore was not able to see everyone coming in and going out. She did not keep a diary or notebook. She claimed she coald tell the movement of her rooner3 every day of the week of the arrest, because Chief -Deltsch atid others asked her to recall these facts. She toli It from memory, she said. Colonel Nelson seemed to be trying to con-fuse the witness, as she had difficulty in understanding his questions. She said that she could not recall things as to the week before the arrest In the same way, bocause she only paid attention to these matters from day to day ordinarily. The reason she could remember the movements of Scott Jackson the week of the finding of the girl's body was because she had (been asked to recall these facts. She said that if she had been called on o do the same with regard to. the other boarders sh could have dcn so. ' Colonel Nelson asked her to do this with Dr. Littler. She proceeded to do it. Then Colonel Nelson shifted the examination. On Friday nlht she retired nearer 12 than 11. She was arked if she had not made oath In two depositions that she had retired at 11. She answered that she had never been under oath. , MISS .M'NEVIN TINNED DOWN. . "Why did you watch the movements of Jackson particularly and remember his whereabouts for the week before the finding of -the girl's body T' "I tell you I was asked to recall his, movements and I did so." "What time did you say he returned Sunday night?" "About midnight." , , "Did you remember of Albion going out and getting beer?" . "I do. on Friday night, Jan. Si." She had given her depcsitlon and admitted she had stated she had retired at 11 o'clock, but only to her room and not to bed. She heard other persons go ud to Jaclcn'a 'rocm. Heard Walling go up and into ihs.

orher tack. She declared she could ee the front door from the sitting room, and could also see he door from two points in the sitting room. She cr some one else always watched it. She was asked if she ran to see when any one came in, but Colonel Crawford objected to the question. Judge Helm said he would Interfere at the proper moment. Albion, the barber, had brought a friend with him Monday night. They roomed on the third floor, but went to Jackson and Waiting's room. She had not seen Albion go out often the week previous to the murder. On Monday, Jan. 27, he had gone out about 9 o'clock. She did not remember what time he came home. Up o this point Miss McNevin had not been tripped up. holding her own welL She said she kept no notes of either Jackson's or Walling'a movements after Chief Deitsch asked her, but had told of their movements so often she had no difficulty in remembering: Judge Helm stopped the cross-examination right here on his particular point. Jackson, she said, was in his room on Monday night, Jan. 27, after supper, and did not go out, to her knowledge. If he had she would have seen him. She did not see Walling go out that-night, either. Colonel Crawford again protested against this kind of examination. - Colcnel Nelson was then cal!ed to a halt by the judge for asking if Miss McNevin kept a note book or diary about her roomers movements. She said that she could not tell how often Jackson came home on Monday because the police had not asked her to exercise her memory on this point. "She says tne reason she remembers Jackson's movements so closely is because Chief Deltsch asked her to look up the matter for him, and I want to know merely If she made any memorandum for him." said Nelson. The court said the question was competent and the witness answered, "No." "Now, this is May 2. Do you mean to say you can recall all these occurrences in January?" asked Nelson. "Certainly. I have been asked about them a hundred times, not only by reporters, but, I think, by every detective in the department." . , The spectators laughed. "Tell me what happened on the Thursday of the week bexore tne murder." "Oh, I think this witness has been crossexamined strongly enough," the court said, interfering. "You will have to bring in new matter if you want to continue." This is a remarkable witness," said Nelson. "I think so, too," said Attorney Crawford, "but I don't want the witness commented on here." Attorney Nelson said he wanted to argue as to why the movements of the men on Monday night should be closely scrutinized. The Jury and witness were withdrawn. THE COLONELS QUARREL. After the Jury and witnesses -had retired Colonel Nelson said that he hoped that no one would believe that he was examining the witness for any purpose other than to ascertain the facts. The Colonel quoted an authority to the effect that a witness testifying about the movements of a prisoner should be allowed to be put under the most liberal and broadest examination. But he said there is no portion of humanity that can be so positive as a woman. "What she won't she won't, and that's the end on't." "They're usually . right, aren't they?" broke in Attorney Crawford, raising a laugh at the Colonel's expense. The gentleman has not associated enough with respectable people to say," said Colonel Nelson, and the spectators laughed the other way, and the court rapped lor order. Crawford retorted: 'The Colonel has not been with me enough to know." "It Is good for me that I haven't," said Colonel Nelson. Then he added: "The court will understand that this is not meant; it is merely pleasantry.". Attorney Crawford arose after Colonel Nelson had. finished and said: "The gentleman has made a remark calculated to reflect on me," and then he said in the next breath, "I want to know what" the gentleman means, for I intend to hold him personally responsible before he leaves this court room." The court and the sheriff rapped vigorously for order. Nelson half rose from his seat and said: "I am personally responsible for what I say." "Attorney Crawford," said Judge Helm, "any remark like that Is contempt of court, and for that I fine you $23." Crawford was white as a sheet and Nelson red as proverbial fire. fThe audience in court was buzzing with excitement. "Give me a check," said Crawford. Then he said to a few friends: "That man cannot say anything like that to me." Colonel Nelson walked to the water cooler and said to a few friends: "I wonder how badly he wanted to tackle me." Attorney. Crawford paid his fine by writing out a check a few minutes after it was imposed. .''. Then the Jury returned and the cross examination began, butr nothing new came out, and Mrs. Jennie Garver, sister of Miss McNevin, was called. She teitifled that Jackson end Walling came to the house Jan. G and occupied the room over the dining room up to the time uf 'he arrest. Jackson, on the fatal Friday night, came down about 8 o'clock to borrow a bottle of Ink and she noticed he had his whiskers shaved off. She called her sister's attention to the fact. Jackson went to his room about 9 o'clock. ' She did not see him go out after that. She said she had made a deposition to the effect that she thought Jackson was In his room Friday night, previous to the murder up to 11 o'clock. Miss Minnie McNevin, a younger sister, was then called and testified that Jackson was in the sitting room between 8 and 9 o'clock Friday night and they talked to him for about twenty minutes. She was lying on a lounge In the back room with the toothache and could see the stairway. She retired at 10 o'clock and had not seen Jackson go out " up to that hour. . Miss McNevin, recalled, testified that Walling was In the- house Friday evening. DR. POST TESTIFIES. Dr. Edwin Post, professor of Latin In DePauw University and brother-in-law of Scott Jackson, took the stand. He wore the spectacles of a close student. "Where did you marry?" "At Merchantville, N. J. My wife and I have since lived in.Grcencastle." "Has Scott Jackson been at your house?" "Yes. When he was a lad of thirteen or fourteen he lived with me a year or two years." Dr. Post said MrS. Jackson came Into his family at Greencastle three or four years ago, and went subs-equently to Indianapolis, where Scott was to attend dental college. "How long did she remain in Indianapolis?" "The defendant came to Greencastle in August, lS9i, and late that month or early the next he and his mother went to Indianapolis and set up housekeeping." "When did they return to Greencastle?" "The next March. Mrs. Jackson rented the cottage next to mine, and she and Scott lived there. She did not break up housekeeping until Feb. 5 of the present year." Dr. Post said Scott Jackson's reputation In Greencastle was good, and then Colonel Crawford turned the witness over to "Mr. X)ckhart." He used Lockhart's name for Nelson, utterly Ignoring the latter. "Can I use him awhile?" asked Colonel Nelson, and Lockhart said: "I will turn him over." Nelson asked Dr. Post If he knows James Leslie. The witness said he did not. Ihe prosecution then produced a draft which Post

drew in Leslie s favor. "I think now that Leslie is probably an officer of the dental college the defendant attended in Cincinnati. Mrs. Jackson usually sent money to her son through me." After Crawfordexamincd the draft the prosecution introduced it in evidence. The witness said he never heard of Scott Jackson being put in the workhouse at Indianapolis, but he had heard of his arrest and fine there. "Did you hear of his carrying a human head In some receptacle there?" asked Nelson. The court sustained the objection of Colonel Crawford. "Do you know of his being indicted In New Jersey for embezzlement?" . Crawford's objection was again sustained. "Do you know of Tils Indictment in New Jersey for -robbery?" Crawford's objection was again sustained. Dr. Post said all he knows of Scott Jackson's troubles with' the Pennsylvania Railway Company he obtained by reading newspapers since the defendant's arrest. Alma Crane, niece of the Misses McNevin. testified to the fact that between 8 and 9 o'clock Friday night Jackson came down stairs to borrow some ink.

The Cunard steamship Etruria, Capttin Ferguson, while leaving this port to-day for New York, collided in the Mersey with the'i Italian bark Geronlma BlanchI, Captain Garibaldi, which arrived here on March 13 from Buenos Ayres. The bark was so badly damaged that she had to be beached In order to save her from sinking. The Etruria suffered no damage worth mentioning and was able to proceed to New York this afternoon. The Geronima Blanch! was built at Sestri, Italy, in 1S76, hails from Genoa and was owned by S. Blanchl. She is of 616 tons register. A Small but Useful Gunboat. SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. The United States gunboat Petrel arrived - yesterday from Honolulu. The Petrel Is one of the. smallest gunboats in the navy. She is similar in appearance to the Concord, though a little smaller. This is her first visit to this port. She proceeded to Asia from the Atlantic side and was for a while detailed In Bering sea. During the troubles in China over the missionaries she voyaged up the rivers, owing to her light draught, and was able to go further into the interior than any ships of the, Asiatic squadron.

Mr. Lnckyninn Was Innocent, but Could He Have Proved It? Washington Star. "As an Illustration of how easy it is to become the victim of circumstances and how the strongest kind of proof may be established against a person entirely innocent of criminal intent merely through false appearances, I wish to narrafe an incident in my own experience," said a gentleman to a reporter. "Some years ago I occupied a house on -r street, in this city, and, as there was more room than the family needed, the third flocr was rented, the occupants thereof being a newly-wedded couple. The husband's work kept ihlm from home at night, though sometimes, when work was slack, he would get In before daylight. My sleeping room was immediately beneath . that occupied by the tenants. "At the time I speak of there was also another . lodger in the house, not confined to any particular floor or room, but having the run of the whole premises. This was a pot cat, a great favorite with all of us. This same cat came very near getting me into serious trouble. On one occasion she took a week's, leave of absence. We rever ascertained where or how she spent the time, and no trace of her could be .found. But 'the cat came' back.' "One night I was aroused from a deep sleep to hear a piteous mewing at the upper door. I hastily arose and without taking the time to even put on my slippers I hurried down and admitted the wanderer. Then I started upstairs to my room, but by come mental aberration I seemed to forget Its location, passed It by and went on up to the third floor. . . "The only way In which I can explain my mistake Is this: There was a basement to the house and I usually entered that way. To reach my chamber in such event I was, of course, compelled to ascend two flights of stairs, and the habit thus formed may, in my sleepy state, have led to the error. The first thing I knew I was standing, clad only In one very much abbreviated garment. Inside the tenants room. The door was unlocked, and I had opened it and stepped in without disturbing the sole occupant, the young wife. There before me by . the light streaming in through an open window, I could plainly see madame wrapped In slumber, unconscious of the proximity of a stray man, calmly, yet not quietly, snoozing away. "For a moment I was completely upset and failed to realize the situation. Then, recovering my senses. I softly stole out, without attempting to close the door. I had been In my own room less than five minutes when there was a rattle at the front door as a key was Inserted and ln. walked Mr. 'Younghusband. Quietly he sped upstairs and soon after I heard a somewhat animated discussion. In which the fact of the room door being open seemed to cut quite a figure. I didn't go up and explain the matter. In fact, I was so impressed with the narrow escape I had made that I was compelled to resort to the contents of a small bottle I kept In my room in case of accidents to steady my nerves. What a wonderful difference a few minutes may make in the affairs of mankind. I was never before so struck with the value of time. "Now, suppose I had been discovered by the young fe as I entered, or by the husband as I came out! What construction would have been put upon the situation? Would my explanation have avallrd? Hardly. Suppose, as is most likely, a row had occurred, and the matter had gone Into the courts. What would a Jury have thought of my apparently all too diaphanous story? I hate to think of what the consequences might have been, both to myself and to others. "It is true, my character was, and still is, fairly good, and the cat was there to testify in my behalf, but I fear that would not have helped me much. But suppose me exonerated by a Jury. Would not "suspicion, strong as proof of holy writ,' have damned me in public estimation? "I haven't the least doubt of It. "The experience of that, to me, eventful night taught jne a powerful lesson. I have since been exceedingly careful in passins Judgment upon others when the evidence is based on appearances only, no matter how convincing these may seem. "I sometimes meet my former tenants, now pater end mater familias, but I never do so without experiencing an uncomfortable feeling. "I may say, in conclusion, that I am alfo mighty particular how I travel about at night, especially when garbed only in rectitude and a very short robe de nuit." TIIE BICYCLE POLICEMAN. A Feature of Metropolitan Life Broufrbt About by the Wheel. Collier's Weekly. It Is an Interesting thing to note the evolution of the bicycle and all pertaining to It since the experimental Introduction of the now old-fashioned "high" wheels twenty or more years ago. Many things that appeared not to have even a remote connection with tho wheel in Its early days have since come under its ever-increasing influence. As the machine diminished in size It grew in popularity. Women began to Join the ranks of the male devotees, at first singly and timidly, then in flocks and bevies, until to-day a -bicycle standing in the area or chained to the front gatepost of a house . is no indication of the sex of the dwellers therein. Our vocabulary is richer by several words that havc'.been coined to fit the needs of the "cyclists." . Dressmakers, machinists and craftsmen of various kinds have been kept at their wits end to meet the demand for novelty in the necessaries and luxuries of the wheel. Lawmakers have, enacted measures for the protection of the wheelmen, now grown so powerful in numbers and influence that they can no longer be ignored politically. To enforce some of these laws and to suppress the "scorcher" it became necessary to place the patrolmen on an equal footing with the bicyclists, as it was found that a patrolman of even superior sprinting ability stood a poor show indeed when it came to overhauling a speeding rider. Hence the organization in New York, and Brooklyn ot the bicycle squads. in New York, at present, this squad is composed of only four men, but as they have proved the wisdom of the plan in a variety of ways, the number will soon be increased to about thirty. Eighth avenue and the Boulevard in New York city are the .only streets patrolled1 In this manner. Then? the crowd of cyclists Is always the most congested, and the danger incident to the mixing up of all manner of vehicles Is in consequence greater than elsewhere. .These streets have lately been the scene of several exciting runaways and captures. In which members of the bicycle squad have figured .uniquely, and at great personal risk. At a glance it can be seen that this is an extremely hazardous performance, and one requiring coolness, skill and courage of the highest order. Jl.

THE CREOLE OF TO-DAY

HIS CHARACTERISTICS SOMEWHAT C1IAAGED IS LATE YEARS. IIor the Fashionables of Xevr Orleans Arunne Themselves The Creole Girl CbarmlDg as Ever. New York Evening Sun. A process is at work among the Creoles of Louisiana which Is slowly depriving them of the peculiarities of manner that have so long distinguished them. They are gradually being Americanized, or, more properly speaking, made like the Americans of English descent. Before the war there was many a Creole who never saw the "other side of Canal street," that Is. that portion of New Orleans lying above Canal street, which then separated the Creole from the American portion of the city. In those days the Creoles possessed the wealth and were dominant. Imbued with their own traditions, religious and otherwise, they held aloof from the new comers from the English-speaking sections of the country. They religiously excluded them from their social life. The relations the two elements bore to each other were of a purely business nature. The Creoles were always courteous and hospitable, but they never encouraged a closer Intimacy than business made necessary. The war changed all this. The Creoles went into the army in defense of the Confederacy with fervor and enthusiasm. They not only gave their blood; they sacrificed their wealth. Creoles and Americans , alike emerged from the struggle impoverished. A common misfortune drew them together. Then came the struggle with the carpet-bag rulers of Louisiana, which lasted until the bloody encounter at the foot of Canal street In 1S74, known in Louisiana as the "14th of September," in which the "White League," recruited from the better elements of the white poDUlatlon of Louisiana, completely overthrew the carpet-baggers and paved the way for the ultimate withdrawal of the federal soldiers. In these troubles the whites of Louisiana of all races were drawn together, and the first step toward their amalgamation into a homogeneous community was taken. It was the best thing that could have happened to the Creoles, and because it benefited the Creoles it redounded to the advantage of the Americans. The custom of intermarriage for the purpose of keeping estates and fortunes together had been so general among the Creoles ever since the colonization of Louisiana that the race w as slowly but surely deteriorating intellectually and physically. When the object of this pernicious practice was removed the practice itself fell Into disuse. The vigorous American blood is infusing Into the Creole race and Its regeneration Is effecting. A Creole does not observe the change, but It Is apparent to a stranger. The new race Is more energetic and self-reliant than the old. It embodies the physical vitality and sound common sense of the American and the mental acutcness and sagacity of the Creole. While the home life of the Creoles has been somewhat altered they still retain many of the characteristics pictured by Cable and others who wrote of them two decades ago. A stranger is always sure to be hospitably treated when properly introduced. While the Creoles are keen in a business transaction and drive as close a bargain as a Yankee trader, they draw a sharp line between their business and social life. They are not at all mercenary. If you go into a store and ask one of them about some business man heWill quit his work to look up the address, and often will walk two blocks to show you the way. He will probably ask you to have a drink on the way. In his house the Creole cannot do too much for -you. There is no stiffness or conventionality about your welcome. You are made to feel at home. After a few visits you are privileged to drop in at your convenience to dine or for a friendly chat. There will always be a place for you at the table. The Creole dinner is a marvel. They are masters of the art of cooking, and their coffee well, after you have tried It once you are never satisfied with the coffee you get elsewhere. ATHLETIC MEN. , The men are small of stature and dark. They have biack hair and eyes, and are generally wiry and strong. Among the athletes of New Orleans to-day they are the fastest runners. They excel where quickness and agility are required. They are fond of yachting, rowing, hunting and fishing. There are many yacht clubs about Lake Ponchartraln and Lake Borgne, and the banks of the bayous and lagoons that abound in the swampy districts about New Orleans are dotted with their rowing club houses and iumtJng club establishments. The long summer months, when business Is stagnant in New Orleans, are occupied in yachting and fishing expeditions on the lakes of Louisiana and the sounds and inlets of the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coasts. Scattered between New Orleans and Mobile are a number of summer resorts; In fact, along the shore from Pearl river, where the swamps end, nearly all the way to Mobil are a succession of M summer houses, all frame, surrounded by spacious grounds and shaded by majestic live oaks, which give them a venerable aspect. " Before the war Bara'taria bay and the. Is.ands on the south coast of Louisiana to the westward of the delta of the Mississippi river were favorite summer resorts, but the disaster at Lost island, described by LafL1?. H.earn' In, hIs unarming little story Chita," wherein several hundred of the. best people of Louisiana were swept away and drowned by a tidal wave, frightened them off. When the business season begins anew the men return to New Orleans. Aside from their business pursuits they occupy themselves with social diversions. They give dances, theater parties, balls, etc.. mostly of an informal nature. When the French opera Jr.rumiinF they s-nend thelr evenings there. The Creoles are great lovers of music, and the French opera is the great social rendezvous of the better classes of New Orleans Americans, as well as Creoles. Except on special nights they attend the opera in ord!nary dress. - . There is nothing puritanical about the Creoles, or any of the New Orleans people, for that matter. They drink a great deal! 7k y are3150 sreat gamolers. They spend their Sundays , hunting wild fowl on the lakes and bayous in and about the city.

Difficulty of Getting; Hid of Vselesa Household IIuIMr1i. Buffalo Courier. i The mere moving: Is not so heavy a trlaL If you go the right way about It ther need be but little confusion or lingering foriornness. The hard rart is abandoning; the old things. After years of use you get to love the dents and precarious footinc of a three-legged coffee pot, and to leavw It behind In the movement to the new boma is like leaving a friend on a sinking ?hip because he has a glass eye. It is so hard, to choose. You go up Into the garret wlihi a hard heart. You ruthlessly haul down, into the basement the chests that for years, have b?e-n catchalls. They contain the things that you once put away to polish or mend the next week. They are covered with three years' dust. You had almost forgotten them. If somebody else had pitched them into the ash barrel you.woul-I have gone your ways, happy in your ignorance. Dut you take them out, piece by piece,, and think of this one that it may some day be of use; of that, that with a bit. of cement It can be brought to look as good; as new; of the other, that you can make somebody a Christmas gift of it. Your brart. grows tender over the relics and you carefully pack them for the van. There is no doubt that an ingenious man of good address could make a line livins as a fell destroyer. He could be hired t fortnight before moving day to ransack: your house and smash or otherwise mak way with every useless thing that clutter shelves and closets. Of course. It woa'.d never do for you to be at home to suprrintend his labors. His occupation would be gone in that case. A hundred times a day hls ears would be startled by tho :igoniz'L cry: Oh, don't throw that away! We cara put angle-worms In that when we go fishing next summer;" or. "Oh, we must keep that. It's Just the thing to keep carpet tacks in." No; most assuredly the fell destroyer must be left to do his work alone. Go Into the country for a day, leaving him in fu'i possession of the house. When you return at night things will look about as us j.i1, but a cartload of rubbish will have vanished .utterly. The fell destroyer will prosent a bill, but think of the hours of lace-r ated feeling he has spared you. 1 ou coa.d. not have done the business in so col i-blood-ed a fashion. There is only one tbirg to dread. The fell destroyer may have burred, up a pair of worn-out mittens which th mistress of the manse used to wear ia, childhood. If he has done this thing ar.t she remembers the mittens and search for them, the feil destroyer will never again be employed In that house. IHtlNSWICIC STEW.
