Ho Verdict Tel.

When the defense rested in the Trogdon murder case yesterday afternoon and all the evidence was declared to be in, the defendant's counsel suggested that the closing arguments be dispensed with.

Judge Robinson objected to this, saying besides wtiich be and that the etate preferred that the arguments be made. Accordingly, at 4 o'clock, James E. Piety opened for the promotion, speaking for an hour and thirft, minutes and presenting the case in a manner masterly and concise. His argument was considered one of the ablest ... *.

the state.

great surprise

was occasioned by the defense refusing to argne the matter and expressing a willingness to alio* the ease to go to the jury without farther ado.

It being time to adjourn court when this juncture was reached, the jury was placed in charge of the bailiff to await instructions. This morning the court room was filled with people to hear Judge Taylor's address to the jury. The state and the defense had prepared their respective resumes of the legal phases of the affair and the court read such parttf of tbe same as it deemed expedient. The instructions in favor of the defendant were .noticeably long and to a certain extent redundant. Tbe state's attorneys referred to them as "first-class stump speeches." At 19:20 o'clock the charge of the jury had been concluded, the bailiff sworn to do his duty and the twelve men marched awav to their secret chamber to deliberate the destiny of Harry Trogdon.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon the jnry was still out, it being evident that a verdict was not to be reached without considerable delav and argument. A cro^d has hung about the Circuit court room throughout the day, waiting ta know the defendant's fate. Acquittal or a light sentence is looked for.

LAWYERS QUARREL.

Judge Kobinxon nnd Sum HamlllCome Together—A This forenoon in the case of Brans vs. Zimmerman, in suit for possession, arguments on demurrer were being made before Judge Allen, setting in the Superior court The case of itself bears nothing of public interest, but a little scrimmage between the attorneys whicb followed |the conclusion ol this morning's proceedings ia of more than passing interest. Judge Robinson and Sam Hsmill, who represent the plaintiff and defendant respectively, were the centers of a knot of lawyers and others, and were engaged in tbe discussion of a certain mooted point. The discussion became warmer and still hotter until Judge Robinson called Hamtll a liar. Ham ill sprang to his feet, seised the ehttif In which lie lad been seat#, whirled it over his head and would have struck Uie judge with the heavy weapon had he not been prevented. At this time he applied an epithet to Judge Robinson that to bo "seen" if possible, would look somethidg like this: 1 —_ Through the intervention of mutual friends the matter was smoothed over after a consultation in Judge Taylor's private office.

THE POLICE BOARD«

The Hoard Take* no Action on Superintendent navla* Head#

1

The police board meetina last night was in every sense, as thoroughly a stir chamber session as it was unproductive of the results expected from it by the saloon men and their whipped in leader, the mayor. The meeting was called for 7 o'clock but it was an hour later when thev walked into the mayor's office and to 'all intents and purposes doubly barral and bolted tbe door against outside pressure. Police CK*rk Bidaman, who had reported promptly for duty at 7 o'clock and waited patiently for an hour, was excused from attendance on the meeting by Mayor Danaldson and instead of having to sit out tbe session of the board, devoted the evening to the enjoyment of a different class of "After Dark" work at the opera house. Mayor Danaldson, when asked by a gentleman this morning what was accomplished, simply Mid nothing, and went hastily on his way. In conclusion, it may be just mentioned that Captain Davis appeared to be as active as usual in the superintendency of police affidrs this morning, and has his star in its usual place over his left breast.

FRIDAY EVE

GARMENTS BARK.

Strange Xatires of Bolivia Who Have So t'*e for lijnndrlM. We have been much interested of late in accounts ot the Yurae&res, tribe of wild Indians who 'inbabit the eastern frontier of Bolivia. They wear but one garment, sort of shirt made from tbe bark of a tree, tbo bark taring1 beaten thin until It resembles ciotu. They paint these shirts in all kinds of grotesque figures, using bright colgrs extracted from various dye plants.

On state occasions the Vaciquo also wears a pigtail made from the.shells of nuts, the backs of green beetles and i. gay feathers from parrots and maeavifS^ all bis people further enhance their beauty by painting black rinirs around their arms and legs. One would think that nature bad made them dark enough, but they evidently entertain a different opinion, and make use of a kind of fruit which looks like an apple, which, when rubbed on the skin, turns it black as ink.

r..._

Then they redden their cheeks with Che juice of a berry and paint scarlet rings around the eyes and mouth. From each ear a silver coin is suspended, around tbe neck is a string of beads and berries, with a bird's wing or claw of some wild animal for a pendant

As a proof that tbey are rather proftd of their appearance, each carries a bag containing a few articles for use in adorning himself, a comb made from thongs of the palm tree, a quantity of the berries and fruit for painting the skin black nnd red, a pair of pincers (which are nothing but .two mussel shells) for pulling out any superfluous hair that makes its appoarance, a suufi box made from a snail shell* and the musical instrument of which he is most fond—the polished bone from a stork's log or that of a monkey, whicb, being round and hollow, answers very well for flute or whistle, especially as itia noise bo desires and not a tune.

The chief sustenance of these Indians is chicha, madr^ of the cassava roOt (yucca), boiled ami then partly chewed by the women, after which it is mashed between stones and loft to ferment. On the third day it becomes a little sharp in taste, wivich quality increases as the fermentation proceeds. Its consistency and appearance are much like niashed potatoes, and to prepare it for drinking a lump the size of your flat is taken in a dirty hand and kneaded in a gourd of water until well mixed.

Thou all the coarser fiber which floats on the surface is removed with tbo fingers, and the beverage is considered "fit for the gods." Those who have so far overcome their natural prejudice against the fangs and finsrers of the squaws as to tasto it roport that it is both palatable and wholesome.—Cor. If 1". Morning Journal.

MAD ANTHONY WAYNE.

One Hundred aud Thirteen Places in tlie Union N«ra?(l After Him. It may not be generally known, oven to the man who thinks ha hits the nail onthe«be^l whoik^^e/usays, Wha^s4n a name?" that the name of Way no is the title or part of the titie or more places in the United States than any other. Take the plain Wayne flrst, without any embellishments. There is a Wayne County Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia.

In Illinois there are seventeen townships that are called Wayne. There are twenty-one in Ohio, twelve in Pennsylvania, seventeen in Indiana, three in Iowa, two in Missouri, one each in itansa^k M^inb, Michigan, Missouri, New'jersey, tfisconsin, besides a station in Now Jersey and a village in the State of New York.

There are two Wayne Centres, ono in New York and one in Pennsylvania. There is a post-hamlet in Illinois called Way no City and a po®U-village called Wayne Court House in West Virginia. In Now York State thero is a place called Wayne Four Corners, and a village in Tennessee that- is fond of its title ®f Wayne Furnace, There is a Wayne Junction in Pennsylvania.

As for places called Waynesborough, thero is om in Georgia, one in Mississippi, one in Tennessee, one in Virginia and two in Pennsylvania. Waynosburg is the title of two places in Ohio, two in Pennsylvania, ono in Indiana and one in Kentucky* and there is a Waynesburg Junction in Ponn^ylraaia.

Besides all these titles not apparently on the wane anywhere* Waynesileld is the name of two parts of Ohio and of one of Georgia. Waynesviile is the name of one place each in Illinois, Indians, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio. In one section of Indiana tbe people scratched their heads beiore they pat Wayne's same into tbe title of their place, so as not to get tbe tail end like any other Wayae place in the United States, and so they named it Waynestown. —N.

Th* Gothrnburjj System.

From the statements ot the various speakers, official and otherwise, at the

Congress at Christian ia, it appears that the famous Gothenburg system, now jnainly adopted throughout Xorwsy* Sweden and Denmark, constitutes praotkslly an effective check upon the evils «tf drink. Jforway has roduced its consumption per head of intoxicants by more than one-half, and thereby effected fe vast reduction In crime.

AN ANARCHIST'S END.

and

He Writes a Remarkable Note gfeoots His Poor Self. NEW YORK, December 19.—Frederick Boehm, one of Jobann Most's followers, shot himself this morning. By his side was found a note book, on tbe first page of which was a remarkable letter, saying the writer willingly took his life as the only relief from the cruelties and sufferings of this barbarous system. 'I believe the letter said, "there is a heaven and a hell for tbe poor man and two heavens for the rich man. As I am In hell now, I hasten out of it" Boehm, who was about 25, has been a blatant anarchist and prominent in all anarchist gatherings here. His only property was Bellamy's "Looking Backward" and Paine's "Age of Reason," which were found in his pockets.

CONGRESS TO-DAY.

A Number of Important Bills in the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 19.— Senator Stanford this morning spoke at length in favor of his bill to loan the government funds to formers and others able to furnish unquestionable security at 2 per cent. He said money is valuable only in its activity and that agricultural lands of this country afford collateral tor more legal tender than could be issued. His remarks were listened to with close attention.

Pasco presented amendments to the election bill. Gray introduced a resolution recommending that the president shall open negotiations for closer commercial relations with Canada aud Mexico. Along discussion followed on the deficiency in the appropriations for public printing. A bill was passed allowing 1369,000 for present uses. Manderson introduced a resolution that fuller investigation be made into the causes which have led to the disaffection among the Indians and the reasons for the present occupancy of their reservations by United States troops.

Blair made personal explanation, denying the published reports that he would become secretary of the interior upon Noble becoming attorney general and Miller associate justice of the Sunreme court. At 12:05 Bates renewed his speech opposing the election bill.

At the conclusion of Bates' address, Gibson began speaking against the election bill. He declared it a partisan measure to obtain permanent control of the house of representatives, and that every member of the Republican party could become an office holder under its provisions.

WILL GO TO PARIS-

Parnell and Mrs. O'Shen Will Both Visit That City. DUBLIN, December 19.—Parnell will go to Paris, having consented to confer with O'Brien there soon after his arrival. The fact that Mrs. O'Shea. has left Brighton for Paris is invested with»some significance and gives rise te speculation in connection with Parnell's prospective visit.

DUBLIN, December 19.—The Freeman's Journal says: "Parnell will carry Kilkenny in the coming parliamentary election if the priests hold aloof in the contest Their conduct," it isays, "jeopardizes the validity of the election. We know home rule without Parnell is impossible. No British statesman would commit Ireland to a man of inferior strength. Parnell alone can restore. the financial situation between Ireland and America.

KILKENNY, Deceml'er 19.—Parnell's condition is much better to-day. Th* infiamatiou has very materially subsided and he suffers lees p&in. He left the city this morning for Johnstown where he delivers an address to day.

IN THEIR NIGHT CLOTHES. Tenement Honse Occupants Frightened Out by a Fire.

Naw YORK, December 19.—A fire which destroyed three frame buildings onLaightstreetthis morning caused a treat panic among the o^fcupants,-^, neighboring tenement houses and more than a hundred people clad only iiHheir night clothes, rushed excitedly to the street and stood there in the cold. They could not be induced for some to believe there was no dannger and return to their homes. The money loesiia about 18,000.

Returning the Implements. A few nights ago a closet in the rear of Frank Lee's dive in the Gallantine district was raided by the police and a bunch of tin-horn gamblers, engaged at the time in a skin game of stud poken were cathered in, jailed and fined. Together with the skinners were captured their cards and chips. Yesterday afternoon Frank Lee, wno runs the place, and probably makes a good thing out of it, came to nolice beadquarters and demanded the return of his "property." The record in the police office bears this well written entry: "Received from R. P. Davis, superintendent of police,a lot of poker chips belonging to me, Frank Lee. THE NEWS believes that if Capt. Davis will make a zealous examination of the statutes of Indiana, he will find a law that will make it as safo as it is dasirable to burn these gambling outfits. If such a law exists, its maintenance should be relieiously enforced and the running of gambling dens made as expensive and onerous as poesible.

New Public Buildings.

WASHINGTON, December 19.—Late yesterday afternoon the senate laid aside the discussion of the election bill and the following measures were passed: Senate bill, appropriating $100,000, for a public building at Danville, 111. house bills for public buildings at South Bend, Ind., ($75,000), and Bloomington, HI., ($75,000 —being an amendment reducing the amount from $100,000.)

None «f the Soldiers Were Killed—The Redsktm Growing More Detperate—Bloodshed Cannot igflMry.1" A""**.

RAPID CITY, S. D., December 19.—A special courier from the camp on the Cheyenne river reports the Indians getting more aggressive. From twenty to thirty ranchers arrived at camp to-day seeking protection from hostile Sioux. Captain Stanton's command is reported in conflict with the redskins fMfcar down the river, and a company of troops has been sent to reinforce him. It is just learned a large party of Indians with a herd of ponies are coming from the East and going toward the Bad Lands. Soldiers in pursuit were saluted with a volley of badly aimed ..bullets, none of which took effect A lively skirmish ensued, but the Indians rapidly drew off the range. An attack is expected on the camp about daylight Much suffering is reported among the Iudians owing to the insufficient supply of clothing, and those friendly to the government are wavering in their allegiance. The presence of troops on their reservations is exciting them to frenzy and unless immediate measures for their relief are taken much bloodshed will result.

CAUGHT BY KEAN dk CO*

The Allklm or the Private Banking Firm Badly Muddled. CHICAGO, December 19.—Kean & Co's affairs seem to be badly muddled, All sorts of rumors are afloat It has been ascertained that the amount on deposit is about $450,000. Most of the depositors are well-to-do people who will not suffer severely their losses. Very few people did business with the bank. According to replies made by Assignee Jacobs, during the investigation, the assets, exclusive of Mr. Keau's personal estate, would aggregate, approximately, $1,353,000, and Hie liabilities $1,400,000.

The arrest of Kean and his cashier was on warrants sworn out by a depositor for receiving deposits when the bank was known to be insolvent. Both men promptly furnished bail.

Investigation disclosed that not only the W. C. T. 1T. Building Association, but nearly all the numerous organizations that cluster around tha big temperance union were depositors in the bank. The "gift fund" of the Temple Temperance Association kept its account there, and withdrew it a month ago, fearing trouble, but afterward returned it. A deposit of several thousand dollars was made just before the bank closed for the last time. The exact amount on deposit for the temple fund is upward of $20,000.

If his friends appeal his castit to Secretary Blaine, it will not be difficult to show he simply got his deserts. Edgar says tbe prison is comfortable, but the food is tbo ordinary diet of Mexican laborers,"

The entire back of both the coat and vest was burned out and the back of the chair was burned. A fine gold watch belonging to Mr. Ulterback which was in one of the pockets of his vest wan badly damaged.
