THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. -MARCH 23, 1S92 TWELVE FAGE3.

THE ERMINE SOILED

And the Standard of the Judiciary Lowered By the Confirmation of the Unjust Judge, Though It Is Gained by but a Bare Majority. ONE VOTE RESCUES HIM From the Rejection Which He So Richly Deserved. Not a Democrat Votes to Confirm the Nomination, Though Judge Woods Had Pleaded, for Their Help.

Iii d ozonation was confirmed by a bare majority cf one, whereas there was a republican majority of eight in the senate. Senator Feffer of Kansas, who was elected by the farmer i' alli&nce, could not stomach Woods' nomiuation and he voted with the democrat. Several other republican senators absented themselves rather than vote for the confirmation of JCDOE woors. Woods nomination. Senator Stewart (rtp.) remained in his seat until roll eill and tnen took up bis bat and want oat for a walk. This seuator. though an ardent aud life-long republican, could not coif sc:entious!y vote to confirm the notuication of a man who had been convicted of dishonesty on the bench. How Ii Stood. There are- two reports oat as to how the rote stood. All egree that there was only one majority for Woods after roll cai', but another re port, wh.ch cannot be centered altogether reliable, es it comes from a source friendly to Wood, ays that sur.sqotstlj republican senator, when he fouud out that the nomination would be ein of 23 13 22. frQW.'fft IHSoEXT IN EL 7 ,j correspondent has H r' ' L tr.e very cest authority however for tue .iidoe sanparjt. statement that the confirmation only had one majority and that if Stewart bad remained in his seal and haa voted against the confirmation (as he would have done had he voted at all), the result w ouM have been a tie and the continuation wonli have been defeated. Tha Indiana Senators. Senators Voorhees and Tcrpie are in high spirits tonight and feel, although the nomina tion was confirmed, that it was by such a narrow margin that Judge Woods and his republican friends esnnot extract a drop of comfort from the result. While the Indiana tenators decline to d.sccs what tock place in thejexecutive sesssion of the senate, the fact that Judge Woods was confirmed is generally known and discussed. A senator said tonight that Judge Woods woold feel greatly humihated because ef the action of the republican senators in daclinic; to vote for bin confirmation. lie would Lave had a majority of eicht if these republican senators bad stood by him.

The Seätinf-L correspondent is assured by a gentleman who knows what he is talking about that JuJgs Woods wrote to a number of the democratic senators, telling them that he would like to receive a little core than his party vote, ard woo d be (lad if a few democrats woold support his eom'rmaLon.

Ttey did not have any hops that the confirmation would be defeated, but fuliy'expected that Woods would bs supported by all of bis party In the senate. When Judge Barrett of the Evansvilie district was told of the result by Tue Sentinel correspondent, he said, "Only ore majority. Is it possible! That wiil indeed be a mortification to Mr. Woods, because, in almost all judicial nominations, ths vote for confirmation is unanimous. But to Lave senators of his own political faith to go bask on him, will be a severe blow to him." Representatives Martin and Shivtiy ex pressed themselves similarly. How It Was lions.

Voortteaa Gd Work. Senator Voorhees Lai had the management sf ths Woods case, and has been on his feet more or less during the last few days, and this afternoon he closed the case in another strong speech of a half-hour's length. Indianians may well fesl proud of their representatives in the senate, for tbey are generally regarded here as the strongest pair of all-round statesmen furnished by any state of the union. 31 ay Investigate. There Is a good deal of talk tonight about an investigation of Woods' conduct being undertaken by the house of representatives. A measure was introduced in the house to im

peach Judge Boarman of Louisiana, who was accused of crookedness on the bench, and today a resolution was introduced to investigate a Boston court. Although Judge Woods opponents might not nape to succeea in 4. impeaching him be- 'A cause a two vat wollte ha sary, it is believed yC that it would be an excellent campaigu card for the demo- Ji'PUE ITTNAM. erat to show up Woods to tbe country in his true character. The teitimony adduced before the senate iudiciarv committee could be made use of on the housd sde, or, if necessary, the witners could be brought on here ajain. There would bd no "executive eession' at tbe other wins of the cap.toi and tiie proceedings would make exre. lent readme lor Indiana and tha country at lare. Indiana's democratic representatives in congress will tret together in a few tlaye and consult as to whether they had better institute the investigation. If they decide upon it, it is probable that Jason Brown, representative from the Seymour district, will Lave charce of it. "The Sentinel may well fet-1 that it tins made a winning fight even though Jude Woods was conhrnied by one vote." said a senator tonichr. "Every one of the allegations made by Ths Pestivel in its columns and by it editor in his atlidavit have been substantiated. Tha Other Jailc. The other judges were confirmed as follows: William L.

It appears that both PeCer and Kyle, the two republicans who were elected by the farmers' alliance, voted wilh the democrats against the confirmation. The vote stood 24 to 24 a tie and Manderson, (Neb.l, who waa in the chair, was compelled to cast the deciding vote. There was consternation among the republicans when the tie vote was announced. TLey are very angry and disposed to sharply criticise the five republican senators who were absent without being paired. Some of the latter went to Senator Iloar and tried to make absent. One or two of them "had important their peace with him and eiplafn why they were business to look after in the departments." Senator Waleott was in the District of Columbia committee room when the voto was taken and it would not have taken two minutes for him to have cast Lis voU. The truth is that Senator Waleott did not care to vote for Woods' roiifirmctioa. Senators Stewart and Waleott, it will be remembered, voted against the force bill, and on several other occasions they have shown their independence by voting aa they pleased. Neither one of these western senators has any love for Harrison, and they did not propose to vols for the confirmation of a duhouest jud;e, at the bahest of tbe president or of the republican whip" of the senate. Caul Jn't Whip Them In. Mr. Casey (Dak.) acts in this laat named capacity, but during his absence the duty of getting out the foil republican vote and arranging pairs devolved upon Senator f Ianshrouia. The latter explained to Senator Hoar that he did h.s best to have the republican strength present. The Massachusetts senator was very waspish and censured the delinquents in severe terms. Senators Peffsr and Kyle (farmers' alliance) sit on the republican side, geuerally vote with the republicans, and are, to unt Intents aud purposes, republicans thsmselvcs, but they could not stomach Woods. In explaining their vote to other senators they said that Woods was unfit for the position he now holds, and instead of being promoted for the service he had done to his (arty he should bt reduced to the ranks. . Senator Stewart is of the same opinion: likewise Waleott (Col.). Maiiaut!na,l froeaxdlng. Tbe proceeeings in the senate yesterday were sensational in the extreme. Tho remarks of Senators Voorhees and Turpie in denunciation of Woods will cause some astonishment throughout the country when they are given to the press. They boldiy asserted that Woods' appointment was in the nature of a reward for services rendered by a judge on the bench to Dndleyand tbe republican party. Now that tbe senate Las agreed to make public the whole of the secret session proceedings, it may be that there will be no investigation by the house of represenatives. Tim Trwtlmnn..

Vienna, March 17. Though the trial of the Schneiders, Franz and Rosalie, for the murder of servant girls, attracted to the court room such crowds as have seldom been equaled in numbers at any trial ever held here, the execution of the man this morning seemed to excite but little interest. The gallows upon which executions take placa in other countries was conspicuous by its absence. In its stead, a broad white stake was firmly imbedded in the grouud in an angle of the court. The stake was surmouted by a large spike. Schneider was attended by a priest who sought to administer the consolation of reliicu to hitn, but Schneider's mind was dared with fear, and it is doubtless if he heard or at ienst understood what waa being said. When the condemned man bad reached a point in front of the stake the executioner, who wpre a high silk hat, fine clothing and kid gloves, stepped np to him and dexterously pinioned his hands. The executioner's assistants, who were two-horse slaughterers, then seized Schneider and placed him directly in front of the stake. The condemned roan was lifted from the ground and a fearful scene followed. Schneidtr immediately kicked his legs in every direction and tried frantically to esoare and shrieked: "Oh, no; in God's came,. I'll iay nnythiu." This scene did not last long, however, for Seytried rushed tip a set of steps that stood behind the stake 6nd threw the tree end of the silken loop, which was attacbsd to the stake around Schneider' thront, in fact lassoing him as he was held aloft by the assistants. No black cap was used, the executioner making his bauds do duty in its stead. As the noose passed around Schneider's neck the two horse slaughterers dropped him. Seylried pressed hia leit hand heavily over the jaw and mouth of the viotiia while the right covered the forehead and eyes. At the same time the assistants gnsped the hanging Man by his arms and legs and pu.leJ downward with all their strength. Hrl 1 in this position Schneider was unable to more and be strangled to death. Itosalis Schneider, the wife and partner in the crimes for which her husband paid the penalty with hii life, is serving a sentence of life impritouraent. One of the provisions of her sentence is that for one dny in every week she shall be subjected to solitary confinement in a dark ceil. FOSTER SPEAKS. Did Not Say 1'IamioI-Mouthcd Irishmen He Kx plains. New Yor.K, March 17. About 10 o'clock O'Donavon Kosia arrived at the Fifth-ave. hotel to see Secretary' Foster. He wanted the secretary to explain what he meant by speak log of "ilannel-tnouthed" or "c'.fn-mouthed Irishmen." P.ossa failed to see Mr. Foster. The secretary was seen this afternoon and made the following reference to his trip, and mors especially in regard to the terms "flannelmouthed" or "clam-mouthed Irishmen," alleged to have been uttered in an interview. "I certainly made use of no such terms as are imputed to me, or no word derogatory to the Irish character. Neither did I have an interview with any one for publication. The story, I imagine, grew out of a conversation which I had in my room with a number of friends and callers. The subject of immigration, which is one of great interest to Englishmen just now, was being di'cnssed. In speaking of the character of the immigration coming to our shores, I incidentally touched upon the ease with which Irish children assimilated themselves from the characteristics of their parents when they arrived here and became thoroughly Americanized. Kven among the commonest class of Irish immigrants was this noticeable. The same, I said, could be said of the German immigrants who soon became imbued with American ideas. This was in contrast to the Norwegians, Dauish and the people from the south of Europe, who were slower in assimilation and who main. taned the characteristics of ths nationalities for a longer period." "IRELAND A NATION." Justin McCarthy Itspnmls to tiie Tortfct He Hefers to Parnell. L.OXPON, March 17. Mr. Justin McCarthy was given a banquet in this city this evening in celebration of St. Patrick's day. In responding to the toast, "Ireland a Nation," Mr. McCarthy made a sympathetic reference to the late Charles Stewart Parnell. In the course of bis remarks Mr. McCarthy predicted that the friends of Ireland in the English democracy would soon enable the nationalists to attain the object for which they bad so long, so earnestly and so perseveriugly struggled ths recognition of Irish nationality. The Parnellite members of the house of commons had a separate celebration of the great national holiday. Ihey also observed the fesst of their patron saint with a banquet. Mr. John E. Kedmond, the Parnellite leader, presided. A list of patriotio toasts bad been prepared for the occasion and appropriate responses were made to them, which were received in a most enthusiastic manner. The toast to the memory of Mr. Parnell was drank: ia deep silenoe, all the guests arising prom their seats when the name of the loved leader was pronounced. MANHOOD RESTORED.

P THE SQUARE If Not an Elector's Vote Will Not Be Counted. A Rule Must Be Fixed for Election Officers, And the Supreme" Court Judges Have Done It. A CASE FROM EVANSVILLE Judgment of tho Lower Court Was Reversed. New Trial in Parvin-Stock-fleth Contest. Ballots Must Be Indorsed by Polling Clerks. It Docs Not Matter Though In Which Corner on the Back of Dnllots tho Initials Appear The Kleetor Cannot Dose His Vote When a Mistake Is Due to Ucction Officers Alone An Important Decision That Decides Three Questions Arising in the Operation of the Australian Law. The supreme court Thursday banded down a decision relativo to questions that arose in the operation of tbe election law in Vanderburgh county. At the November election in 130 Parvin and Stockfleth were candidates for county auditor, and by the canvassing board Tarvin was declared elected, the vote being 4.743 for him and -1,735 for Stock fleth. Ths latter, however, claimed that twenty-seven votes for Parvin and sixtj-oce for himself were illegally rejected. Had this not been done Stockfleth would Lave been elected, the vote w:th tho rejected ballots being 4,772 for Parvin and 4,7CG for hia opponent. Tbe rejection of these votes was on the cround that some of the ballots were defective as to stamping, and that all in two precincts had not been indorsed by the polling clerks according to law, their initials appearing in the iower right hand corner instead of the left. Other votes wart questioned by the canvassing board because they had been placed in the wrong box. It was these questions the supreme court considered, the case bavins come from the Gibson circuit court on appeal of Parvin. the trial occurring in that couuty on a change of venue. By the judgment of the lower court Parvin was deprived of the office he sought and his appeal was that the court erred in admitting as evidence certain ballots oSered v the appellee. It was tiie squares of these ballots that ha 1 not been touched by the stamp. Judge Cofley wrote the opinion of the supreme court and iu it all the other judges concurred. He Quoted sec. 45 of the election law, prescriliuz the rüiuiner cf voting. It was contended by the eppeiiant Parvin that tiie provision requiring tLe voter to indicate hi choice of canaidates by stamping the square opposite the name of the candidate was mandatory. The appellee maintained that the provision was directory only and thai the voter may indicate his choice without touching the square with tho sUiup. Judge Cotiey referred to the instructions as to the manner of voting under the law of 18S:', prepared by six practicing attorneys rtlected by the state central committees of the two leadm; great parties and held that the conclusion reached by these attorneys as to the meaning of the law as to the manner of voting was correct. This was the squares on the ballots must be touched with the stamp. He held that if the provision was directory only, there could be no fixed rule for officers of election to follow in counting bailots. If ballots are tu be counted where the squares are not touched there is nothing to show at what distance from the square the stamp shall be placed before the ballots can be rejected. One board of election oliicers could reach one conclusion and another could adopt a rule directly opposite. 'I be amendment of March 6, 1S91, to sec &' was considered. It . provides that a stamp not touching a square on a ballot shall be a distinguishing mark, and that the ballot shall not re counted. This, Judge Cotiey said, makes certain that which was intended by the legislature when it passed the original section. "Each ballot,-' ha continued, "constitutes a separate and distinct written instrument, and, like all other written instruments, its construction is for the courtu Of the 154 ballots appearing on the record before us not to exceed nineteen could by any possibility be couuted for either the appellaut or Slooktleth. In order that an elector may have bis ballot counted at all be must touch some one of the squares with the stamp. He can indicate his choice in no other manner, for this is the only mode presented by law. He oanoot stamp his ballot elsewhcie and leave the election board to gness at bis intention.' It was therefore held that the lower court erred in admitting as evidence in support of the appellee's claim ballots not so stamped. It could not be accepted through such testimony that ths electors intended to vote for either of the oindldates for corjnty auditor. As to the initials of the polling clerks being In the lower right baud corner of the ballots instead of the left the courts showed that this indorsement was presoribed by seo. 34. lint the mistake was not one of fraud or intentional violation of law. The appellant, Parvin, though contended that they should not be counted and that the provision as to the place where the initiale should appar was mandatory. It was the poinion of the court that a study of the statute left no doubt that it k as the purpose ot ths law to secure a fair expression cf the will of the people by secret ballot uninfluenced by bribery, corruption or fraud. A disfranchisement, therefore, of whole preciuots by reason of an honest mistake on the p irt of eleotion officers wouid be inconsistent with that purpose. The immediate purpose of arc. 31 is to prevent the counting ot fraudulent votes by requiring olerks to indorse their initials on otiioisl ballots so tbey can bs identified. They can thereforo be indorsed in one place as well aa another on back of the ballot. So much of the provision that requires the indorsement to be made with tbe initials of the polling clerks was held to be mandatory, but the place where the initials shall appear is directory only. The purpose of the law is aocomplishcd when the indorsement is made. The lower court therefore did not err in refusing to reject the ballots cast in the two precincts in question. Ths ballots properly stamped and indorsed but placed in the wrong box by lbs election officers the supreme court b'ld should be counted. It was next to impossible under the safeguards of the election law that the ballots eoald have been deposited by persons other than election officers. To hare placed them in the box when not received from qualified voters would have been a crime and the presumption of law is always against crime. It was a mistake of the election officers for which ths voters wers not responsible. Numerous authorities were cited to support the position of the court and judgment was reversed with directions to the lower court to s;raal a nsw trial. A DOUBLl LYNCHING.

FROM THE POPE.

A Letter to Mr. Bryan on tho World's Fa ir G reel i njj. Rome, March 1C Following is the text of a letter written by the pope to Mr. Thomas B. Bryan, the epecial U. S. commissioner to Italy for the Chicago Columbian exposition: Greeting While we see on all sides the preparations that are eagerly being made for the celebration of the Columbian quad.-o-centenary feasts in memory of a man most illustrious and deserving of Christianity and all cultured humanity, we hear with great pleasure that the United States Las among other nations entered this competition of praise in such manner as befits both the vastness aud richness of the country and the memory of the man so great as he to whom these honors are being shown. Nothing certainly could be more splendid than what is told us of the grand aud maTaifioent exposition which the nation will hold at Chicaco, bringing together every kind of produce and work which fruitful nature bears and the artful industry of man creates. The su'cms of this eil'ort will surely be another proof of the great spirit and active energy of this people, who undertake enormous and dillicult taks with such great and happy daring. We rejoice, moreover, in the nobility of tho purpose, which is equal in greatness to the undertaking itself. it is a testimony of honor and gratitude to that immortal man of whom we have spuken, who, desirous of finding; a road by which the light and truth and all the adornments of civil culture might be carried to the niot.t distant carts of "the world, could neither be deterred by dangers nor worried by labors, until having in a certain manner renewed the bonds between two parts of tho human racs po long separated, he bestowed upon both nah preat beuelits that the injustice mint 1 e sai l to have few equals or superiors. While, therefore, wo bestow on the citizens of the great republic well merited praup, we express v. fervent hope that their noble undertaking n.ay, other nations uniting with them and lemi.ug their aid, lie.v-j a most prosperous issue that will prove of :reat use in stiuiulaticg the ingenuity of man in proportion of the development of nature, and in encouraging all the fine arts. Given at St. Peter.?. Rome, in the year 1SC2 and the fifteenth year of our pontificate. (Sisuedj Leo XIII. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. II Spaaks of the Ilrlntlou of tbe Cliureli to America. Boston-, March li. Tho niut contains an interview between Archbishop Ireland anil its correspondent in lioma from which this important passage is extracted: Kornau authorities, both at the Vatican and the propaganda, declare themselves (determined to maintain the hierarchical unity of the church iu America, and allow no et ort to be made in the name of religion toward retarding the nssimlution cf the di;rent populations in America and encouraging the political and social unification ot all the cilker.s of the laud. Hut strange to say this determination of Home does not prevent ronstaut renewal of eSorts. There are people in America and in Kurope who are under the positive belief that the country is a wild congo, to be partitioned oü into so many foreign colonies, as distinct from one another as language, ideas and customs can make them. Many of the liuropean catholic papers arc enlisted into the movement. The catholio papers of Germany ars today a veritable curiosity, teemiLg week after week with statements most false about the church in America and the bishops of America, who are supposed tö be at all times tinged with a patriotio American feeling. I am .sorry to say that most of the articies written in this spirit appear as correspondences from America, and mauife&tly are such, as evidenco the local coloring given to the misrepresentation contnined, in them. A short time ago, at n central catholic international congress at I.icge, Itelgium, two gentlemen appeared, Jlr. Peter Cnhensly and trie llev. Mr. Villeimeve, daring to make in open seksion the statement that the church in AmericB, becntis of its netrlect of foreigners, had lost i'O.OjC.O". Cahensiy repeated tiie lie in hi fatuous memorial of last summer, although reiucii! somewhat its proportions. The Rev. Mr. Villeneuve is at present in Home, and 1 have no reason whatever to put trust in his movements; bis virulence, if I may s;iy. showing itself particularly in opposition to the bishops of the New Bngland stales. ENOCH ARdTn STORY. A Suit lor Damages Calls Out a Romantic Story. Chattanooga, Tenn., March 1?. The sequel of an Knoch Arden story, with variations, is just being written iu the form of a sensational and most singular suit for damages. Briefly told the rcmauce in real life is as follows: John Quinby, a Union soldier, was badly wounded in the battle of Chickamauga, a few miles from here, in 1S03, and left in a temporary hospital in a log cabin on the field. During his convalcsence he became enamored of a confederate war widow, one Mrs. Pooley, and after his term of service expired he returned and was married to bcr. Four years later ber first husband made bis appearance. A compromise was eflected and Dooiey, for $23 in cash, surrendered his claim to his wife and cow he had left in the We and went his way alone. Quinby accumulated considerable real estate which the increase in values ma le valuable. A conple of years since he made to his wife a deed of his land in what is now Chickamauga park. Dooiey iu some way learned these facts, took legal advice and was advised by an attorney that as the woman in tbe case was his (Dooley's) spouse in law, the property in question was clearly his and he has come back to enter suit for the lnr.J. Quinby has recovered his mental balance and will fight to the end of the law for the wuiuiiu he bought and the land be earned. The case is attracting much attention in le'&l circles, as it is without precedent in the South. LEGACY OF TREES. A Sjnibolism of the Thirteen Original States. New York, Marc! 18. A place of pilgrimage is to be obliterated. The thirteen trees planted by Alexander Hamilton as symbolic of the thirteen original states of the nnion are to fall under tho auctioneer's hammer at the real estate exchange next Tuesday at the tale of the Amos Cotting estate. They stand on that portion of the old "Hamilton grangs" that is bounded by Amsterdam r.nd Convent-aves. and Onehiindred-aiid-forty-seeoncl aud One-huu-dred-and-forty-third-sts.
