The bridegroom Is a member of the firm of Alexander d: Co.. druggists, and the bride Is the daughter of Martin Hill, a farmer of Jackson township. Plaint of the Stout l.ndr. Philadelphia Ibeoid. "What 1 ihouM like to know." sal.! the stout lady, with emphasis, "is whether

stout people have any rights? No, I'm not referring to the slurs put on us because we take up room in street cars and can't move about just as quick and light as we would like to; I'm talking about the everlasting matter of dress. Have stout women any rights at all as to getting fitted? If they have, they're not recognized by th1 manufacturers of ready-made clothing. "Look at me." she went on, warming to the subject. "My bust measure is fortyftur inches. I go into a store, for Instance, and ask if they have that size in a suit. 'I guess so, the saleslady says. Oh. I get so tired of them drawling out. I guess so!' They all do it. Then she goes to work rummaging in the racks, and after a long time she brings me a suit and says. 'This'll fit von.' The chances are ten to one that I .an't get Into the coat at ail: if I do. it Jon't meet across the front. 'This is not a forty-four,' I tell her; 'let me see the ticket.' She won't let me see it if she can help it. but If I Insist, she will say reluctantly. 'Why, no, it's a forty-two; but you know some sult3 run larger. I'm reallyafraid we haven't any forty-four suits. Then she will try to persuade me that I can wear a forty-two just as well, and will measure me with her tapemeasure and prove that I'm only a thirty-eight, and then I'm apt to say something snarp and we part out of humor with esch other. "It's the same way with waists and corsets and everything. They don't keep the forty-four size in stock. I wouldn't mind it so much if they'd just tell me candidly that they don't, but they waste so much of my time trying to stun me into clothing several sizes too small. So they can make a, sale, they don't care. And as to bargains! We stout women never get any. We always have to pay outside prices. Surely there are enough of us to pay the storekeepers to get up bargain sales just for us; we should all be grateful. But. no; we have no recognized rights, and I just tell you it's not fair."

Fnhlonfl In Wedding; Presents. New York Evening Sun. There are fashions in wedding presents Just as In everything else. Once upon a time our mothers' and fathers' tkne there was a strange and unaccountable tendency to pickle jars. This was succeded by the pear'-handled tea knife era and later by the lamp epoch. This last is of comparatively recent date. Only a few weddings ago and the number of lamps received was enough to illuminate a dozen houses instead of the one they were intended for. Just now the fashion runs to candlesticks. A recently married pair who had rather hoped for lamps received not one, while their candlesticks ran into the hundreds. All brides and bridegrooms within the last fewmonths have had a like experience. The average wedding-present giver, for whatever reason, has suddenly taken to candlesticks, and with the usual result that his gift is a drug on the market. When will folk meaning thereby the average wedding-present giver learn that of all things not to give is the present that everybody else is sure to give. One couple fairly swamped by candlesticks from well-meaning friends at their wedding last month actually had to buy a lamp for a lampshade, the gift of somebody not yet caught up with the wedding-present procession. Plants for AVinter. Ladies' Home Journal. The best time to get decorative plants to be grown Indoors during the winter is early In September. At that season artificial heat and high, moist temperature have been dispensed with, and plants are growing more naturally than at any other time in the year. There arc but few which one can expect to grow well in the house in winter. The aspidistra is a plant which cannot be killed by ordinary neglect. Give It all the water it needs, an occa'sional application of fertilizer, and a reasonable amount of light. The agave Is a stately plant, and a well-grown specimen always attracts attention. For the ball It will be found quite as ornamental as a palm. Because of the semi-succulent nature of tho foliage it will not require much water except when it is growing. Asparagus sprengeeri is another plant which grows as well for the veriest amateur as it does for the owner of a greenhouse. Plant it in a soil of rich loam and give it a liberal allowance of water when it needs it, a shady place to grow In and a frequent shower bath. Begonias are not often classed among the very robust plants, but there is one variety which I have found sure to grow well under difficulties. This variety is B. argentea guttata. Give it a soil of sandy loam, well drained. Be careful not to Overwater, but shower it frequently. Little Pointer!. New York Commercial Advertiser. The color of the eyes should determine the choice of the dress and millinery. A blonde may wear pure white with advantage, but a brunette nearly always looks better in cream-colored fabrics. This ought to be more generally recognized. Brown eyes and a brown dress go well together. Blue-eyed girls should wear blue as often as possible. The tan shAdes are not often suitable for slim figures. Black satin intensifies the effect of round shoulders. A small toque is excessively unbecoming above a large round face. Dull black is the best choice for a fairhaired woman, while a brunette must order something brilliantly black if she really wishes to look her best. Tucks and stripes running downward become the Juno type of woman, but the thin, angular beauty should have the stripes and tucks running around her dress, and she will be surprised to find how much her appearance will be Improved. A little woman with a thin face may fancy herself in a Gainsborough hat, but she is wrong very wrong. Stripes narrower than an inch wide tend to make one look slim; wider than an Inch they increase one's breadth. AN AUTOGRAPH QUILT. It Will lie Presented to Wife of Rev. Clinrle AV. Titmley. The women of Section 2 of Broadway M. E. Church will present Mrs. Charles W. Tinsley, wife of the pastor, with an autograph quilt at the church to-morrow evening. The movement was started some time ago by Mr. Ulclurd 11. Sullivan, president of the section. Later Mrs. Sullivan gave up the work and the women besieged Mr. Sullivan to assist them and write the nan-es of the contributors. Mr. Sullivan has his hands full marking out intricate maps and diagrams in th weatiier bureau oliice, but, thinl ing it a light task, consented. New. however, he realizes his mistake, for the women solicited 4to names, vhich It was his dutv to inscribe with IndeliMe ink in all s.rts ot out-of-the-way places over the quilt. He spent many v.earv hours at the task. Ten cents was contributed with each name, and the revenue from the enterprise goes to tho church fund. EMMA GOLDMAN'S ITINERARY. A Report that She Had Probably Started for Thi C ity. A report came from Logansport last night that Emma Goldman, the Anarchist leader. wts in that city yesterday morning, but had disappeared at noon and presumably left for Indianapolis. She was described as wearing a gray cloth skirt, white waist, light-colored felt hat and glasses. It was said that she sent a cipher message to Brazil. It was In the Western Union telegraph office where he Identity was first thought to have been d scovered. Tho officials at the Union Station know nothing about her. and it is not probable that If she had come to Indianapolis they would not have known It. Were t-he going to Brazil she would not likely take this round-about way. the trainmen say. A Meeting nt Winona. The officers of the Winona Asfembly left yesterday for Winona Lake to attend a two days' session of the executive committee. Some radical changes in the work of the assembly are being planned. General Manager Sol. C. Dickey will be sent next week to London to engage lecturers for next year's meetings. A tteU inlt iou Honored. Governor Durbln honored a requisition yesterday from the Governor of Illinois for the return to Decatur. Macon county. Illinois, of George Dolen. who Is under Indictment for appropriating J12 belonging to Ellas Moore, for whom DoIn was acting as acent. The fugitive Is under arrest ir. this city.

A BIG TENT MEETING

HAROLD C. 31 KCl II IS AA PROVIDES JFEAST OF ORATORY AMI .MELONS. An EnthuftinMtle Hennbllcmi Gathering; nt the Corner of Ohio nnd AVet Street. ATTORNEY GENERAL HEARD INTERESTING PRESENTATION OF MUNICIPAL CONDITIONS. Chnrle A. IlookTrnlter, Cnpt. A K. Euglinli. Gnrley llrewer and Others Talk Briefly. One of the largest Republican meetings of the campaign was held last night in a tent at the corner of Ohio and West streets. It was not only an occasion for political enlightenment but for physical refreshment as well, for immediately following the several excellent addresses the big crowd was invited to partake of the one hundred watermelons procured for the occasion. The meeting was arranged by Harold C. Megrew, candidate for councilman at large, and its big success was all the more a pleasure to him because of the fact that the tent was pitched on the very spot where he first saw the light of day. The speakers, like the big crowd to whom they spoke, were of different race and color, but all alike spoke to the same end the necessity of a change of administration in the city of Indianapolis. Those who spoke were Attorney General William L. Taylor, Capt. W. E. English, Gurley Brewer, W. E. Henderson. J. H. Lott, Charles A. Bookwalter, Republican nominee for mayor, and George L. Knox. Major Megrew, who presided, stated that the tent would remain on the lot and meetings would be held in It almost nightly until the day of election. Although called upon by the crowd he declined to make a speech and contented himself with a brief Introduction of the speakers. CAPTAIN ENGLISH SPOKE. Captain .English has been ill for several days, and his speech last night was of necessity very brief. He said in part: "I have ever advocated that which I believe to be the best for the city, State and Nation, and for ttiat reason I am here to-night advocating a cause which I believe to be for the best interests of the city of Indianapolis. I believe in fealty to party, but there was a time in my life, as you all know, when I was compelled to give up fealty to party for fealty to country. As I said, I came here to-night because I believe that 1 am championing a cause best for the interest? of this city. But this is not all. This city election will have a vast influence on the State election next fall, when we are to elect a Legislature that will send a United States senator to Washington. It is for tlrcse reasons that I ask you to-night not to mark off a. single name from the Republican ticket. Let us then, friends, not only vote for a Republican administration in this city, but also that we may sustain the national policies inaugurated by the greatest Prtsldent and the grandest man known to this day and generation." Gurley Brewer, one of the best known colored orators In the State. parti?ularly addresslng those in the audience of his own race, said in ilart: "William McKinlev, in a speech delivered at the dedication of the sailors' and soldiers' monument at Cleveland. O.. said: 'With patriotism in our hearts and the flag of our country In our hands, there Is no danger of anarchy.' Little did he think the lap of the future contained for him the cursed bullet to be fired in the name of anarchy. It was an Anarchist that first organized victory for the Democratic party. Jefferson was elected through the manipulation and ingenuity of Aaron Burr. Since then the anarchy of lynching and the anarchy of 'bungalooism' have manifested themselves in different parts of the country. We can only look to the Republican party for the permanence and safety of our institutions and to make our liberties more secure." ATTORNEY GENERAL'S SPEECH. The speech of the evening was made by Attorney General Taylor. He said, in part: "Mr. Maguire represents the Democratic party in this contest. Air. Bookwalttr represents the Republican party. Mr. Maguire is a thoroughly upright gentleman personally and will unodubtedly carry out the pledges he makes. In his letter of acceptance, which I hold In my hand, lie rays: '1 now declare that I Indorse the excellent administrations of Mayor Taggart. and. If elected, shall endeavor to continue the management of the affairs of the city along the lines that have in the past few years developed the city of Indianapolis into an aggressive city.' ".Mr. Bookwalter promises that he will not follow Mr. Taggart's policy nor continue the same. We are thus brought face to face with the proposition, shall Mr. Taggart's policies continue in this city or shall a new policy be adopted? "Let us examine the financial policy ot Mr. Taggart and compare the financial condition of the city of Indianapolis with that of the Nation and the State, whose affairs are being administered by the Republican party. The Republican party went out of power In Indianapolis at the same time it went into power in the State of Indiana. In the State of Indiana we found a lebt, in round numbers, in 1&5, of ST.&r'u,(Hm. Since that time we have paid of the public debt SS.Mmj, nearly one-half of the entire state debt, and we have accomplished this on a levy of 1 cents, the lowest rate of taxation since the adoption of the Constitution, in ltwL. "The city of Indianapolis was turned over to the Democratic party In 15&". The bonded debt then was ..Ult. The bonded debt to-night of the city of Indianapolis is 12.276,71, and this is not all. To meet the ordinary current exjenses temporary loans have been made as follows: For July, $fi0,M; for August, JN'.ooo; for September, $,- U. making a grand total of bonded and temporary loan indebtedness of $2, 421, Too. The constitutional limit of indebtedness in this city is $2. 175.0 ). W are thus within $5:.:'0) of the limit. Large additional temporaryloans will probably be a?ked for. This is the financial condition that confronts the people and the continuation of the policies that has produced it is promised by Mr. Maguire. Why Is it, gentlemen, that tho federal government is constantly paying off its indebtedness? Why it it that the State government likewise is rapidly paying off its debt, and the city of Indianapolis during the same period has been rapldlv increasing its Indebtedness? 1 do not believe that any government, whether municipal. State or national, can permanently prosper under any policy that increases the public burdens. FOR A DIFFERENT POLICY. "Mr. Bookwalter represents not only a patty that opposes this policy, but he himself pledges the people to inaugurate a different policy. He is as able as Mr. Maguire. He Is as honest and capable as is Mr. Maguire and believes in the policy which we advocate. Why, therefore, should not we elect him and thus Inaugurate a new policv in the management of the public affairs of this city? "My friends, the Republican party has managed the affairs of this country in war and peace: has kept the flag in the sky and ever maintained the public credit. Why should we not be trusted in municipal affairs In the city of Indianapolis? I b. -liove the people of Indianapolis will tnu t the affairs of this city to the hands of the Republican party." The remarks of Messrs. Henderson. Lott and Knox were directed particularly to the colored voters. Each of the speakers declared that it behooved the colored citizens of Indianapolis to evince as great an interest in the administration of city affairs as any other class of citizens. The charge was untrue, they said, that the colored people were a shiftless lot. indifferent to political policies. "We have grown." said one of the speakers, "from chattelhood to manhood and are as vitally interested in city affairs as the white population of the city." Eacli speaker also alluded to the bad financial conditions which now obtain and declared that a Republican administration was nttded tu brins:

order out of chaos. Allusion was alio made to the acts of vandalism practiced with such impunity by the Bungaloos, the speakers holding the administration responsible for the frequent outrages to which the colored people have been subjected. MR. BOOKWALTER HEARD. Mr. Bookwalter was late in arriving but while waiting for him the big crowd was entertained by a band of excellent singers known as the Elite Quartet, the songs being so well appreciated that the singers were compelled to respond with a number of encores. Mr. Bookwalter's arrival was greeted with great applause. He announced in a very hoarse voice that he had already attended six different meetings in various parts of the city and had been compelled to talk at every one of them. "I want to say," said he. "that this talk of some of the newspapers about their being a lack of enthusiasm in this campaign is utterly untrue. I have attended hundreds of meetings in this city within the last two weeks and to my knowledge I have never before witnessed so much enthusiasm as 1 have seen manifested at this mee::ng. True, there has been less noise and hurrah, but that has been because the people have grimly set about to accomplish one purpose. It means the end of Taggartism In this city. I am in this campaign under peculiar circumstances for I have as an antagonist a man who admits that he isn't Tn it. but is the shadow of another. Mr. Maguire has nothing to say for himself beyond the fact that he is a close disciple of- Mayor Taggart and that he indorses his administration. It becomes necessarv, therefore, to make an issue of the things which Taggart, not Maguire, has or has not accomplished during his two administrations of the affairs of this city. What has been accomplished in these two administrations which Mr. Maguire so heartily Indorses? The depleted condition of the citv treasury depleted as It is of every single dollar from the May taxes for the running expenses of the city government, with temporary loans aggregating more than J2X),OU, made in anticipation of taxes to be paid in November the repayment of which loans at that time will leave practically nothing from such tax payments to carry 'on the business of the citv for the succeeding six months, or until May, 1!)2 a condition produced not onlv by a demagogical 51-cent levy, but also by the wasteful and extravagant expenditure of public funds, as I take it is answer enough for this question. I have not the time to-night to point out specifically the conditions which have been created in the two administrations of Mr. Taggart. Suffice it to say that to the things which we know may be added manv things of which we do not know. If I am elected I promise you that I will give you a clean, business-like administration and that the city of Indianapolis shall continue to improve, but its growth shall be consinstent with the best interests of the people." AVOniv OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Without Bra Band Accompaniment Much lln Reen Aecompllnheil. Notwithstanding the new life that has been infused into the city campaign during the last week the fact remains that it continues to be the most uneventful political fight in years. In so far as it is apparent neither of the political parties has as yet indulged to any great extent in the "dirty work" usually attendant on city campaigns. Since the nominations were made there has been little or no mudthrowing by any of the candidates or the political managers, and there is unquestionably less of the rancorous partisan spirit manifested than ever before. Chairman Logsdon, of the Republican city committee, and Chairman Fanning, of the Democratic city committee, are on the best of terms, and scarcely a day passes that one does not call the other by telephone for a friendly chat. Since the beginning of the campaign Mr. Bookwalter, the Republican nominee for mayor, has never ald one word personally against his political antagonist further than that he is a scion of the Taggart political household. Mr. Maguire, the Democratic nominee, has been equally courteous to Mr. Bookwalter, and the same may be said of all the other candidates In both parties. It is generally conceded that It has been up to the present time the cleanest city campaign on record. It Is not to be understood, however, that because much of the disgusting part of politics has been eliminated there has been no great amount of work accomplished in this campaign. The converse of this proposition is true for It is probable that as much or more ral effort has been expended by both parties than ever before. The amount of work that has been accomplished In the way of organization, although not apparent to the uninitiated, is almost incalculable. It is sufficient to say, however, that the city committees, executive committees and hundreds of workers in both parties have been busy night and day at this work since the opening of the campaign. The candidates, particularly those of the Republican party, have also accomplished a great amount of work in attending noon meetings with their respective executive committees between times. Mr. Bookwalter has attended as many as twenty meetings a day and is booked until the night preceding the election for five meetings daiiy and as many more as he can attend. Yesterday at the noon hour Mr. Bookwaiter visited the Atkins saw works and later the big Hetherington & Berner plant. At both places he shook hands with every employe and made brief addresses on the issues which he set forth in his letter of acceptance. In the afternoon he attended several precinct meetings and last night addressed a half dozen meetings in the Second ward, besides making the closing address at the big tent meeting at Ohio and West streets. The other candidates on the Republican ticket are as active in many ways as Mr. Bookwalter and as a consequence the evidences of an overwhelming victory for the Republican party are every day becoming more apparent. Election IiiNiiectnrn. The fact that the Republicans have secured the election inspectors for the election this year will not prevent the Democrats from being represented when the ballots are counted, as an amendment to the general election law passed by the last Legislature provides that each of the four parties casting the largest vote at the preceding election shall be entitled to one watcher at each voting place. The law places the appointment of the watchers in the hands of the city committees. Colored Repiiltlleitii Meeting. An enthusiastic colored Republican meeting, held at 31C McCulloch street last night, was addressed by James Hudson, president of the Tenth Ward Republican Club, Charles Hester and James Alexander. The ward club, with a membership of forty, attended the meeting in a body. CITY NEWS ITEMS. Lawrence B.

1 CO'vaiQMT INI TUt THE Y.M. CA. PROGRAMME MICH I.XTEREST R E ING S1IOWX IX THE COMIXG YEAR'S WORK. The Departments Devoted to HcIIkioiiw Stndy Will He In Capable Ilniidn. Acting Secretary Neighbor, of the Y. M. C. A., and his corps of assistants are arranging to make the coming year a banner one. The work of arranging the year's programme has fallen mostly upon Prof. Eel ward Davis, secretary of the educational department. Professor Davis is now preparing a programme of the Bible meetings and other religious work, which be will soon send to the printer. One of the features of the Y. M. C. A., and which never ceases, is the Sunday afternoon meetings. While heretofore this branch of the institution has been provided for by voluntary speakcrs-from religious workers of the city it is now proposed by the officials to have competent speakers regularly to attend the Sunday afternoon meetings and address' the young rr.en. The innovation of making the Sunday afternoon service of much more importance will take place Oct. 13. On the Sunday previous, Oct. 6, a Bible rally has been arranged for. This rally will be givcli prior to the opening of the Bible class season, which opens the following Thursday night. At the rally there are to be present well-known local Bible students. During the coming year the work of the Bible classes, will be in four sections. The first section will be in charge of the Rev. R. E. Neighbor, whose subject will be "The Life and Teachings of Christ." The second part is to be taken by Prof. Ed Davis, who has not yet planned his part of the work. The third will be looked after by the Rev. Mr. Kimmel, who will have for a subject "Christ Among Men." Acting Sccretar Neighbor will have charge of the fourth division of the class, and his subject will be "Imperfect Men Made Perfect." Saturday afterneon during the year will be piven over to a new department. Each week there will be a class known as the Sunday-school training class. It is for tho purpose of studying the scriptural lesson for the next day and incidentally teaching the young Bible students the rudimentary lessons of Sunday-school work. This branch ef the work will be under the directorship of H. S. McMlchael. A special course has been planned for Sunday afternoons before the regular meetings. A short Bible service will lie held each Sunday from 2:45 o'clock to 3:3i o'clock.' For th-se meetings a number of lecal workers have been chosen. The Rev. Levi White will have charge of the work during November, Mr. Thomas Smiley in December. Judge Thompson in January. Henry Dowling in February, John Scott in March and Thomas C. Day in April. Two weeks from Sunday the volunteer department will open its meetings. This e.epartment teaches the young men the work of missionaries In the mission fields. For the first meeting H. L. Roscoe. a returned missionary from India, will address the class. From Nov. 10 to 16 will be observed as the week of prayer by the members of the institution. During that time many topics relating to the Bible will be discussed. THE WHI1STEK CELEBRATION. One DUtiuKtifnlietl Orntor Will Eulolilc a Predecessor. New York Evening Sun. There is to be a notable Webster revival at Oartmouth College tnis we-k. and distinguished men from all parts of the country will take part in it and sound the praises of the "gedlike Daniel." Webster was graduated irom Dartmouth on Auj,-. 2s lV'l, and it is the; anniversary of that event vvhie.n the college authorities ;(re supposed to celebrate tins week. The difficulty of securing the atendance of alumni and invited guets in vacation time accounts for the postponement. Among thoe who will be present are Chief Justice Melville. W. Fuller, Senator Hoar, ex-Governor Frank S. Black of New York, Senator Ross of Vermont a graduate of '51. Chief Justice Blodgett of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Re-presentative Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts, and the Hey. Edward Everett Hale. An oration on Webster by Senator Hoar would be worth a Journey across the continent to hear, for, as Webster was an adopted son of Massachusetts, Mr. Hoar, an Old-Man-Elo.juent himself, would be Inspired to exc I himself in strength and felicity of diction. It may be doubted whether the Senator has an equal In the country to-day in the use of pure, wholesome, vigorous and animating English. The interest of the sons of Dartmouth in the e-elebratlon may be inferred from the fact that of the surviving graduates of the class of '01 nine will be present. In a parade of the town by the alumni and students the old plough which Weitster made and used at Marshfield will be carried, together with articles and transparencies which illustrate his college life and his professional and public career. A feature of the celebration will be the laying of the cornerstone of the new Webster I la 11 by Samuel Appleton. a grandson of the great man. Visitors will 1 shown the house In which Webster lived for two years at Dartmouth. The house, by the way. is nowoffered for sale, a fact which should sug I iF -. f.,1 . '',l'ilgt

gest to the alumni the acquisition of it for a Webster museum. Such is Webster's looming greatness a an erator of the period when nullification was an Issue and parties were divided by compromises growing eut of the j-laverv question that he does not seem to belong in any degree to revolutionary times or the period of the war of 1S12; yet be was born while tho great conflict for freedom was In progress, and he was first elected to Congross in 1M3. making his maiden speech on Jan. H. IMt. As a statesman his career will always be foucht ever. He will bo given and denleel crcv'it fr prescience ami for unselfishness if purioe in supporting men and aelvocatlng measures. He made enemies when he supported Mr. Clay's compromises for disposing of the difficult ejuestions greming out of the extension of territory subsequent to the Mexican war. Wendell Phillips wa so Infuriated by his acceptance of the fugitive flave law that be could not find language sufficiently violent to characterize It. On the other hand, admirers of Webster have contended that in aetvocating the Clay compromises as conclusively settling the slavery question he was sincerely desirous of averting the cemfllct which finally came. But whll there will always be eiiffe-rences about Webster's career as a public man, bis fame as a great American orator wi'l shine like . beacon through all-time. His reply to Havne has been compared to the oration of Demosthenes on the crown, ami It Is certainly one of the most magnificent efforts of eloquence in modern times. It will be studied and eleclalme-d as long as there is a school house In America. Yet. as a boy at Exeter Acaelemy, the future orator was so shy that he could not be persuaded to stand up and "speak pieces" before his schoed-fellows. PATROLMAN O'NEILL OUT. He Mmlc ChnrKC Asrulnat Co m ml ftioner Hevery, of Ncv York. NEW YORE. Sept. 2T.-Patrolman Edward O'Neill, who a few wee ks ago openly defied Deputy Police Commissioner Devery, and who asserteel that he was being persecuted because he would not pay money to save himself from being transferreel, was to-elay dismissed from the force by Commissioner Murphy. The dismissal was the result of O'Neill's trial by Deputy Commitslemer York on the charge e-f cemduct unbecoming an officer. Mr. York recommended that O'Neill be not punished severely, as he was Ialoring under great excitement at the time the remarks were made, but Colonel Murphy elismlssed him. O'Neill's case is the basis on which Derery was arrested on charges of oppression and brought before Justice Jerome. To-dy Devery got a writ of prohibition from Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman restraining Justice Jerome from trying Devery. th latter averring that Justice Jerome was prejudiced.
