Two tons of play may be considered pretty heavy work in a foot-ball match, but it is an airy and inconsiderable tri He on the comic stage.

HARPER'S BRIGHT ANGEL. Iiis True Relations tVitta His Fair Clerk Shown Up Very Clearly. Cincinnati, December 8. Fac simile cipher letters are published here furnished by Charles Hopkins, son of Assistant Ban. E. Hopkins. They purport to be letters sent by Harper to Miss Josie Holmes, his former exchange clerk. It is explained that after the failure Harper professed the warmest friendship for his assistant cashier, Hopkins, and promised to do everything that could be done to shield him. Young Hopkins was corresp ndinzly kind to Harper, and becr?e his messenger to carry letters to and from Miss Holmes. While in this office he began to suspect that Harper was arranging to shirk upon Hopkins the responsibili-.y of all transactions with the grain brokers, and youDg Hopkins, to place Harper within bis power, conceived the bold design of concealing the latters and delivering verbal messages only. tThis worfced well enough until Miss Holmes visited the jail. Harper was furious upon learning of the treachery of hia messenger, and has since been cold toward Hopkins. The letters were in cipher, which was easily read. Harper aleo sent three checks to Miss Holmes, which Hopkins suppressed and turned over to District Attorney Burnet. They aggregated $700,000, and it is presumed were intended to be placed so as to cover up some of the crooked transactions of his baDk. One for $00,000 was dated February 2$, the others for $200,(XX; ecn were dated June 27. The letters of Harper to Miss Holmes are as ardent as those of any lover could bi. In the first one he Instructed her about what she ebouldeay ia her testimony. She answered eajing ehe would be as evasive as she could, but feared she could not testify as he wanted her to. She said he had made a botch by sending H. to Bee her,and asked him why he did not go when he had a chance. She asked him to send her a lawtr to advise her howlo testify. To this Harper replied with mad protestations of love for his "bright angel" (and upbraided her for her coldness, and especially for her cool suggestion that he should have flown. It looked to him as thouah she wanted to get rid of him. He reminded her of his talk during their last ride together, that he said the worst thing would be their separation, and that she said that would never be, and pressirg a kiss on his lips, said she would go to prison with him, or if that could not be, would visit hira&daily. He begged her to get well and come to him, before she got into the safe deposit box, otherwise all would be spoiled. He also urged her to take no more of the drug, and decline to be interviewed. In a note to Harper Miss Holmes says: "Your wife has $300,000. I have nothing to now do but die, with your family disgracing me as they have done in the last two days " An. E. L. Harper was seen at the jail this mornitgby a reporter and was asked what he had to sey about the publication of his letters to Miss Holmes. Harper paused a moment, atd then with clenched teeth said: "You can say that Charley Hopkins did not publish the other letters that would have benefited me as much as it wouldlhis father, and that he did not publish anythisg about the $10 I gave him for her. Now, will you excuse me?" and he finished his toilet and went up stairs where his wife and sister were in waiting to take him to the court room. In the court room Harper gave his nsual polite attention to his wife, and showed but little trace of trouble. His wife, however, sat like a statue, oblivious to her surroundings. There is bo doubt of the authenticity of the letters, and they place in a true light the relations between the ex-banker and his fair clerk. DICKENS AT THE FALLS. He Doesn't Know What His Father "Could Have Been Thinking About." Philadelphia Press. A day or two ago the Press correspondent met Charles Dickens at Niagara Falls. The morning was snowy and blustery, but the family were anxious to see Niagara. Prospect Point was the first place visited, and it was a study to watch Mr. Dickens' face as he first looked upon the falling waters. Gsz'ng for a few moments, he turned to Mrs. Dickens with the expression: "Why that is something awfuL" The view from the top of the Luna island stairs he thought more grand than from the park. "My father, in his 'American Notes,' " said he, "speaks of Niagara as a place of peace and rest I don't see what he could have been thinking about. Peace and rest! Why, to me it is one of abject terror." Just at this moment a venturesome tourist had crawled under the railing around Luna Island, and, while holding on with one hand, stood looking over the bank. This waa too much for Mr. Dickens, and he turned away, while the ladies closely watched the touriBt. "Are you disappointed in Niagara, Mr. Dickens?" asked the correspondent. "Yes; never more so in my life. I had fancied the river at the Ameiican fallmuch wider than it Is; that the rapids was a sort of bubbly stretch of water, and that the fall waa nearly if not quite straight. No writer or painter could ever do justice to them." Anarchists' Benefit. Chicago, December 10.-About 2,000 people to-night attended the first of the five entertainments for the benefit ef the families of the dead and Imprisoned Anarchists. The exercises were held in the North Side Turner jHali, and consisted of gymnastic exhibitions, dancing and beer drinking. T.J. Morgan, the Socialist, announced that, contrary to the programme, there would be no speeches. Perhaps it was as well, he said, when they looked to New York and saw what came of a man's speaking. Morgan waa referring to the outcome of the Most trial. To preTent a similar result here, he aaid no addresses would be mad by wj one, sot even Captain Black.

HARPER TRIAL ENDED

The Evidence ill In Ind Tha Cue G.vsii To Taa Jary FarDjcieion. Counsel on Both Sides Agres to Saomit fts Cue Without Argument hig Jidicn Cn&rges tin Jary Strongly lg&icEt taa Defend&nt No Decision Tct Rendered Not Expected That the Jary will be Long In Deciding on a Verdict In the Case. Cikcinnati, December 10. The dramatic scene in the Harper trial this morning kept the crowded court room in a hush of silence. Court was opened in the usual way. Harper appeared accompanied by his wife and her 6ister, and his little boy, a fine looking fellow of nine years. Tne testimony for the defense was virtually nothing. Mr. March ant told what wa3 the state ct the bcconct of Swift's Iron and Steel Works, in 1SS7. It amounted to $19,000 deposits and f 19,800 withdrawn an overdraft, Mr. Thillips was called to sho that the property of these works was worth over $300,000. J. F. Larkm, banker, was called to show that Wiishire was buying wheat for others than Harper, but all he could say was that his bank hid bandied some paper of Timberlase'swith indorsements by Wiishire, and the court ruled it all out as incompetent. Timberlake himself was called. He said Wiishire never bought for him, tor he for Wiishire. Wiishire had simply indorsed some of his papers. Mr. Blackburn said his purpose was to show that Wi'shire's testimony that be had bought for Harper only was not true. The Court reminded counsel that Wiishire had testified that he bought a million bashels on his own account, and if they could show he had bought more than this, it might be done. Edgar Stark, bank cashier, was called to tell of Timberlake'B transaction, b at it was ruled out and Mr. Blackburn said: "With that ruling of the Court we have no further testimony." It was now 10:30. Mr. Harper and his counsel withdrew for consultation. Deputy Marshal Urner fallowed. In ten minutes Mrs. Harper was called out. The consultation was upon the question of submitting the case without argument. At 10:43 the Ear tie s all returned and Mrs. iarperwas carrying her babe. She sat down beside her husband with the child on her knee, removed its white hood and displayed a lovely head and fase, fair hair, blight eye?, fine complexion and fall, round cheeks. There was a whispered consultation at the table for a minute or two, duritg which above the low hum of the crowd could be heard the Hate like tones cf the baby's voice as it reached t-J the table after pspsra. It was the only pie that was oSertd for it3 father, for when Mr. Blackburn arose he said that under the ruling of the court as to the evidence offered they had no more witnesses to offer. The Government called Messrs. Htcch and Hayes, but the questions naked teni had been asked betöre, and they xere ruled out. Mr. Burnet then said tne Government would rest. Jndge Jackson Will yon argue the case? Judge Wilson for the defense said they would submit without argument if the Government would. Mr. Burnet "We will." JUDGE JACKSOS'8 CHARGE. Judge Jackson then prepared to deliver his charge to the jury. Judge Jackson's charge occupied an hour aud fifty minutes in delivery. He began by referring to the form of the indictment, and then gave the usual definitions ot the points of law necessary to be considered by the jury in a criminal indictment. He called their attention to the diuereuce between criminal acts by officers of a Banking Association, and others by. which losses might accrue, but not be criminal, and remarked that in every count Harper was charged with a criminal act. He defined the term abstract as used in tbe Statute as meaning to take without the knowledge of the officers of the association acd?use it for the benefit of others, aud with the intent to defraud. An intent to defraud applied to every act which is illegal and tends to injare. After defining what was meant by proof beyond reasonable doubt, he said the responsibility of bank officers was not for losses on honeBt legal loans in good faith, for the benefit ot the association, but for illegal acts for the benefit of others than the bank. He then passed to a review of the facts proven, saying the cocrt could assume those things proven which had been presented in evidence on both Bide. He then enumerated, one after another, the various acts regarded as proven by Harper's admission, such aa a credit to the Riverside Iron and Steel Works upon no consideration, and declared that the defendant committed a wrongful act when he took the check of the Riverside Works in that way. So of the $300,000 certificates of deposit ia the First National Bank, of New York, represented by his own check. This was a criminal act, admitted by the defendant. Going on in the order of time the court cited act after act, all admitted by Harper, which, under tbe ruli&g of the court, constituted criminal acs. Among others was $15.000 to Hoyt for Hopkme, in which Harper said he was to be a sharer with Hopkins. By sending collaterals to the Chemical National Bank, June 15th, the defendant committed an unlawful criminal act. Harper's heroic efforts to save the bank do not excuse him any more than a man would be excused for scuttling a ship by afterwards making eOorts to save it. Referring to Harpsr'a defense, tl at he waa try lag to save tbe bank, he teverely arraigned his method, sayirg it was not reasonable for a man to sink $1,4X0,000 in trying to save $S6,000. Summing up, he said the Court instructs the jary that it must find on his own testimony that the defendent had committed a crime. The jury was then instructed hov to make ths form of their verdict, and they were taken to their room to begin tWr consultation. The Court adjourned until 2 o'clock. The sudden close of the Harper trial without argument was no surprise to any one who had watched the progress of the testimony and bad knowledge of the law. No counsel could have gone before that jury to defend a man who had testified to acta which must be declared by the court to be criminal, and the Government counsel had no need to argue where tbe defendant himself had proven the Government's case. It was, therefore, left to hia little child to make, by its innocent presence, the only plea that could be made for the great banker, and that could only be a plea for mercy from the T Judge. Bat it seemed to have been ineffectual while the Judge waa declaring the law to the jury. S udge Jackson doubtless felt that In that duty there was no place for mercy. Certainly he spoke with regid clearness and unflinching severety. His review of the testimony showed a remarkably clear understanding of the whole matter, and hia aumming np of Harper's misdeeds was a stunning blow to any hope ot mercy that may have crept into the defendant's mind. The magnitude of tha amounts involved, tha frequency with which wrongful acta were committed, all were shown in thetr strongest light by tha Judge as.he. detailed from memory the testimony.

His legal mind saw so clearly what tha verdict ought to be that he used the mist unmistakable language. He said "the Court instructs you that upon the defendant's own testimony Harper has committed a crime as described in the statute under which he is indicted." The charge was in writing, except that portion in which he reviewed the testimony. It was delivered with great earnestness. The j ary was moved from its position on the side of the room to the space directly in front of the Court, thus removing Mrs. Harper and her babe from their view, and allowing the Court to speak to them with no hindrance whatever. Harper and Blackburn sat in tbe corner of the room on the right. Near them were several officers ready for any emergency. When the charge was ended Harper was for a time almost alone. Then Mrs. Harrer brought her babe and sat beside him. Aiits Matthews and Mr. Matthews came alBO, and the family group sat silent and tearful, but with no outbursts. Soon Mr. Harper was removed from the court room. Later it was agreed to adjourn the court until Monday, when the jury's verdict will be received, if they are then ready. Judge Jackson has been universally commended throughout the trial for his fairness, his thorough grasping of tbe whole case, his ready rulings, and for his luad charge to the jury. No exceptions have been taken for tbe reason that there is no appeal from this court, but really there has been no disposition to question the rulings made. Judge Sage, who sat with Judge Jackson, has concurred in all the rulings made, so that no opportunity exists for a rehearing. The District Attorney, Mr. Baraet, has made an exhaustive examination of tbe statutes and the precedents, and has reached the conclusion which, it is understood, is shared by tbe court, that tbere is no authority for a sentence on each of the thirty-three counts, if he should be fonn 1 guilty on all. The sentence, therefore, cannot be for a longer term than ten ers, and this may be shortened by good cooduct to seven years, five months and ten days. Harper Talks In JaM. Cincinnati, December 10 The Evening Telegram to-day says that last night it made an arrangement with E. L. Harper to have a ro porter meet him in the jail this morning and make a record of what testimony be would like to have given while on the stand, but which he could not give because of its lack of immediate and direct bearing on the case in hearing. It accordirgly contains an interview with Harper, in which Harper says: "You can say that the president and the directors of the bank itself and tbe lare stockholders unloaded stock for waieh I paid between $700 000 and $S00,000 between January 1, 187, and June 20. 1SS7. And $200 OOOof that went to tbe bank for new stock paid fcr May 5. Then in reference to this Harry Watters, the bookkeeper, he you know, who testified egainst me on the stand. Why, when his testimony was given before the grand jury that" body wanted to indict him, and voted unanimously to do it That indictment was withheld to mak bira testify against me. Well, that fellow Watters proposed to me to run away and to robe tne bank of ali convertible securities and cash, and he would carry them forme. My answer to him was that I owned half the bank and had never taken a dollar of its money aod never would, much less rob it and run avfiy. All that I bad ever done or ever would do was to help the bank through." Referring to the close of the bank, Harder said : "If Bank Examiner Powell had not played tbe bull in a China shop, I could have kept the bank all right I can implicate a gieat many more if I like.

There are three officers of the bank that always speculated in wheat" VANDALIA DEAL OFF, President Dexter Fails to Effect n Settlement With l'resident McKeen, Teere Haute, Ind., December 7. Special. President Julius Dexter, Counsel Lawrence Maxwell and Director HaSer, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, arrived in this city shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon. Thev proceeded directly to President McKeen's office, where they were closeted for over two hours trying to eflect a settlement in the Cincinnati, Hamiltou and DaytonYandalia deal, which Ives began six months 8 go. At the conclusion of the conference President McKeen said: "The matter stands just the same now as it did before these gentlemen came. No settlement was eflected; no agreements which have been satisfactory to mjself could be reached, and the Ives notes have not been paid." This being the last day of grace, and the notes not having beeu paid, the deal is practically cfT. Ives will, no doubt, forfeit $412,000, which he paid on the road June 4h. The visitors returned to Cincinnati tonight Arrest for an Old Murder. Peoria, 111., December 8 A great sensation was caused last evening by the arrest of Hartman Plaag, the Marshal of South Peoria. He has, it appears, been indicted by the Grand Jury for themurd2r of his father-in-law, John Coldiz, on tbe evening of January, 5. ls0. Plaag wa3 lodged in jail without ball. Colditz was found dead on that date with a ballet through his heart, sod the instrument With which tbe deed was committed was tound within tbiee feet of him. Tha coroner's jury at tbe time of the murder was adjourned from day to day, finally bringing in a verdict of murder by unknown parties. Now, after tbe long lapss Of time, Pleag's sister-in-law. Mrs Becker, and Mrs. Weiss, come forward and Bwear that Plaag killed his father-in-law; that they witnessed tbe deed, but were so much in terror of Pla8g that they swore falsely at the inquest. PJaag says hia sister In-law has secured his indictment because of an unsuccessful attempt to blackmail him, she having some years ago threatened to bring suit against him for seduction unless he paid her $S00, which he refused to do. Has Snyder'a Body Been Stolen. Hartford City, December 8. i8pectal. It is rumored that the body of John Owen Snyder has been exhumed and stolen by the meddlesome aud inquisitive M. D.'s of this locality. They all invariably deny the allegation and threaten to dissect the allegater. One pill-vender, when approached about tbe matter, suggested "that perhaps on account of the famous pedestrian's inability to lie down for three years past he had crawled out and contiaued bis tramp. ' We cautiously approached another "saw bones" and interrogated him as to his complicity in the matter, and he directed us to go to a place where f ael is cheaper than "natural gas."

Cafarrh I inflammation nf the mncons membrane, attended with increased secretion. Thus catarrh may affect the head, throat, stomach, bowels, or any part of the body where the mucous membrane Is found. But catarrh of the head is by far the most common, coming on eo gradually that often its presence is not suspected till It has obtained a firm hold on its victim. It Is caused by a cold, or a succession of colds, combined with Impure Blood. When firmly established the disease Is exceedingly disagreeable, causing flow from the nose, dryness of the throat headache, loss of arpetlte, roaring and buzzing noises in the ears, etc. In Hood's Sarsaparilla may be found a prompt and permanent cure fcr catarrh. It purifies and enricbes tbe blood, soothes and rebuilds tho diseased membrane, and thus soon cures the disease. At the same time it refreshes and tones the whole system. The remarkable success of this peculiar medicine entitles it to your confidence. Give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial.
