The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1866-06-09

A most curious instance of conflicting
testimony in the case of murder recently
occurred in Ohio. On March oath, one Ira
B. Wheeler, Of North Pepin, in that State,
suddenly disappeared, and it was generally
supposed that he mad been accidentally
drowned in the waters Of the Chippewa. A
few days ago, however, his body was found
near the place where the accident was sup
posed to have occurred, the head marked BY
deep cash across the scalp, and severe
wound over the left eye. Suspicion at once
r. sted on James Garter, who had originally
made the statement that Wheeler broke
through the ice and so died. The whole
village was excited. Carter was subjected
to sharp inquisition, when most unexpect-
edly TIE wife u Wheeler and the accused
man both confessed to the crime, each
charging the other with dealing the fatal
blow. The Durand (0hio) Times says:
ssThe wife's story is, that Wheeler and
Garter, getting into an alteration about
going TO a neighbours to play game Of
whist. Carter dared Wheeler out of doors
10 fight, whereupon the latter followed Car
ter ont. when Carter struck him over the
head with gun barrel, which brought him
to the ground, immediately causing bis
death"
Carte. OF the other hand, asserts that
Wheeler was driving tacks into his boots,
when his wife happening to pass ~ upset
the paper Of tacks upon the floor; 4 scuttie
ensued, az first in play, afterwards IN anger.
Mrs. Wheeler finally snatched up Ratchet
and struck her husband blow on the head,
which felled him TO the hoor- carter had
been bystander in the struggle ana now
came forward, told. the VIE not to be
alarmed, and proceeded to carry the corpse
70 the river, and thrust il through the Zee
He then invented an explanation OF MS dis-
annearance.

Another Civil Rights Case In Balti-
mOre-RaiIrOadP Privileges to COl0red
IpnrSnuS

On the afternoon of Saturday, 9TH in
slant, two colorcd women, named Mary j.
C. Anderson and Ellen q. Jackson, entered
the Prcsident-street depot building of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company, and proceeded to the
room set apart for the use OF ladies while
waiting for the starting of trains. They
made inquiry of the janitresS of the build
inc if il was not the room for ladies, and
received an affirmative reply, accompanied
by an intimation, as they were about to
make themselves at home, that it was not
the room for them. They paid no atten-
ton to the remark, and the special officer,
Mr.. Adam Smyzer, gave them the same
information respecting the room not being
intended FOR their accommodation. They
refused to leave, but were compelled to SO
out. 1t is understood that they.arc teach
crs-onc living at IIavre dc Grace and the
other ut Port Deposit, whittier they were
about to proceed in the train Of that after
noon. Acting under legal advice, backed
by judicial opinion, an application was
made by them TO Justice Spiccr to issue II
State warrant, charging criminal assault.
The Justice, dceming the matter one for
the adjudication of a civil court, as the
question of damages, &C., was involved,
advised them in accordance with his view
of the affair.
The States Attorney was informed OF
the particulars OF the transaction, and by
his advice or instruction the justice issued
the warrant for the arrest of Mr.. Smyzcr
on the charge of forcibly ejecting the COM
plainantS from the room. The writ was
served BY Policeman Galloway on Monday,
and the accused party appeared at the
office of the justice, who released him on
security for his appearance for trial at the
criminal court.
The railroad company, it is stated, have
a separate room, as also special car on
each or certain trains, for the use of colored
persons. This case is instituted with the
view of testing, under the Civil Rights bill,
whether any distinction on account Of color
can be made in public places. 1t is under
stood that the company viii assume the act
of the officer as its own, being done in pur-
suance of instructions heretofore given
him. Whether the matter will be decided
here or at Annapolis is uncertain, but doubt
less the defence will be conducted by able
counsel here baltimore american Radi-

Reception Of Head-Ccntre Stephens.

/ New YORK, May l5.-James Stephens
received an enthusiastic ovation from the
Fenan Brotherhood at Jones'S woods to-
day. About six thousand were present,
but none of the Roberts men were in at
tendance. Stephens made iorciblc adj
dress, giving the history of the Fcnlan
movement.
He said he had received but little money
from this country, and the art-burnings
and scandals here were such as could only
bc compensated by Irish liberation. They
only wanted money. Ireland had done
ten times a> much as America in that way.

Seyenty.rirst Annual Meeting Of the
Council OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church or Virginia.


Church or virginia.
ALEXANDRIA, May l6.-The Council of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia
met i'm its seventy first annual session this
morning at IL O'Clock, in st. Paul's Church
in this city. After morning prayer, the SER
mon was preached by Rev. DR.. Morrison.
At the close of divine services, the Coun-
Gil was called to order by the Bishop,
Right Rev. John Johns, d. D., whopresided.
Rev. T. Grayson Dashiell, of Richmond,
secretary.
The roll was called, and sixty-four OF
the clergy were found present, represent
ing parishes in every portion OF Virginia.
The Committee on Lay Delegates reported
thirtyeight lay delegates present.
Among those present from Richmond are
Rev. +. NJ. Baker, of Grace Church, and
Rev. Il. Grayson Dashicll, of St. Marks,
and Messrs. Samuel p. Mitchell, William
F. Gray, and John II. Tyler. Rev. DR..
Minnigerode, of St. Paul's, did not arrive
till the afternoon. Rev. DR.. Woodbridge
of the Monumental Church, will be here
tomorrow.
A motion was submitted to amend the
tenth canon, relating to the government OF
Christ Church, Norfolk. That canon now
reads as follows:
"Whcrcas the preceding canon, which
directs the manner of choosing vcstrymen
i'm the several parishes, is not applicable to
the eases of churches built and supported
by voluntary associations of individuals,
and it is proper that those who hold the
sole property of a particular church-as in
the case of the Monumental Church, Rich
mond, and in all similar caseS-ShOuld pro-
vide for its care and management, the
choice of vcStrymcn shall be made by the
pew holders of the respective churches,
conforming, as to the time of appointment
and manner of qualifying the ycStrymen,
to the regulations prescribed by the ninth
canon, excepting in the case Of Christ
, Church, in the city Of Norfolk, which be,
ing under peculiar circumstances in rcla.
ton to the number Of trustees, in the time
and manner of clccting them and the rec
/ tor, the pcw-holdcrs are permitted to con.
form to their own regulations in those par.
! ticulars.'
Under this canon the rector is now
elected annually, and it is proposed so IL
amend as to conform the action in this case
with that of the church generally.
The number of delegates, as you see, is
large, and many visitors also are in ON
city in attendance upon the council. 1t:
proceedings will be highly interesting anc
important, and Shall send utullrcport'

tiouc denies that France has made ener-

the Austrian ornaments in Vcnctia. 1t
says that the dispatch sent to Vienna on
the subject was couched in the most cour-
tcous terms, and solely requested conf
dental explanations respecting the object
of the Austrian preparations. The Aus
trian Government replied, protesting that
it would maintain strictly defensive atti-
tude. France accepted these explanations,
and the result was a mutual understand
ing according to which, Austria under
takes that, should Italy attack Venetia in
dependently of France, Austria will not
secure for herself the eventual results OF
victory without the diplomatic interven-
ton of France.
1t is asserted that one object of Aus
tria in menacing Prussia and Italy is to
force England to assent to the convention
of an European congress.

LONDON, May 6.-Prussia has declared to
the Diet that the warlike relations on her
part are entirely defensive. The Austrian
reply to the last Prussian note was concili-
atory, but declines to disarm under present
circumstances. Warlike preparations in
Venetia were being pushed forward with
great energy. 1t is rumored that Venetia
will Immediately be placed in a state OF
siege.
