To say that hundreds of maids, wives
and widows look twenty years younger
than they are in consequence Of the
complexional freshness derived from the
use of Hagan's Magnolia Balm, is sim.
ply to state an absolute fact, which
might be promptly verified by direct
testimony if ladies we're as willing to tell
their ages as to use the best means of
making themselves lovely. Nature some
times, but very rarely, crowns the charm
of perfect features With q complexion Of
exquisite clearnessj but even then time
soon begins to make inroads upon the
velvet cheek, the fair white brow, the
ivory bust, the rounded arm. To pre-
serve the glory OF woman unblem-

Mr.. Butler T Massachusetts, favored
the adoption of the resolution, Deliev-
ing that a short session would be De.
nefieial to the commercial interests OF
the country.
Mr., Holman argued against the
adoption of the resolution, annd sug-
gested a substitute for it, declaring 1t
to be the sense of the house that con-
gress should not adjourn until after
the revision of the tariff, reduction
| OF the internal revenue, and the re-
form OF the civil service abuse. j..
Mr.. Butler T Massachusetts, asked
Mr.. Holman to include also the estab-
lishment of civil rights OF all men.
Mr.. Holman said ne had no oOIec-
ton to that, although the gentleman
from Massachusetts had had four years
with all the power of congress in his
hands to secure those tights, and II he
had not done so it was his own fault.
He favored reference to responsible

Mr.. Bingham, chairman Of the ju-

that the legislation of the country had

ton and showed that several Demo.

Senator Edmunds again argued that
the house bill would violate the con-
stituGonsl requirement that there

FISK's ASSASSIN.
krrAIgnmeHt Of Edward Stokes before the
Court Of Oyer and TErminer.
Attempt Of HE Counsel TO 0Bash the Ia
dIctmsut % Technical Grounds.

NEW YORK, January 29.-Stokes
was aIraigBed to plead In the Court oi
over and Terminer this morning.
His lawyer, John Graham, said he
intended to move to quash the in
dictment. The grand jury had been
given the case before the cOroner's
Jury had given their verdict. The
coroner kept back the fact as to vic.
ther the deceased was armed, and
otherwise exceeded his authority
contrary to the statutes. In order to
obtain a murderOus verdict, the papers
were transferred to the grand jury.
The coroner, too. In violation OF his
previous promise, placed upon the
Jury q lawyer named Maunseu b.
Field, whose notions were prelu-
diced.
Mr. Graham alluded TO the part
taken by ex-Judge Fullerton In OBJ
tanning an indictment against Stokes,
saying Fullerton became acquainted
with all Stokes's private affairs as his
counsel; then Stokes having refused
TO pay him an enormous counsel lee
($50O0) Fullerton sued him, sabse-
qUently using his knowledge as for
mer counsel TO secure an indictment
sgainst Stokes. The foregoing was
put before the court by Mr.. Graham
In the shape Of sfisisvits.
Dlstrict-Attorney Garvin stated that
he did not propose to put in contra
dictOry affidRvits. mr. Graham then
asked for a quashing of the indict-
ment on the ground that the sitting
of two grand juries was uncOnstitu.
tional and that the presentment
should be sent before another grand
Jury after the first OF February.
The district attorney replied to Mr..
Graham, arguing that nothing had
been illegally done which would war
rant qusshing the indictment. He re-
ferred to the savage assault OF Ar.
Graham upon eX-Judge Fullerton as
unWarranted and exceptional. He
gave in detail the circumstances oi
the shooting of Mr.. Fisk, and referred
TO the case of Fisk against Mansfield
and Stokes, in the Yorkville police
court.
Mr.. Graham again retOrted savage
lv on Garvin and Fullerton, and
stated that he had come to the know
ledge thaf the medical treatment
which Mr.. Fisk underwent accelerated
n n did not entirely cause his death,
as there is q man nov living In this
city who was once wounded the same
IS Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. MeKeOn, one Of Stokes counsel
followed by saying that Hr. Fisk had
been the e inter- Ol band Of assassins
which ne (McKeonl feared IS he never
feared men before in his official career.
