LON. sOe0eF Tue OnnOiHttEers Ar
rested o Petjury-The "Timea''
story OF the BeecheF-rtltOn Jury
-rha Irish Victorious IN the 500
Yard Match.
New YoRK, June 29.-Joseph Loeder
was arrested late last night, on complaint
Of Colonel Beecher, for perjury. Price
appeared as a witness against him, max
ing an affidavit that he did not know
Loeder previous to 1872, and knew moth
ing about Tilton's house until recently.
He said that Loeder told him hat ROW
would be a good time to make some
money. Judge Morris appeared as coun-
sci for Loeder and Tracy and Hill for
complainant. The judge ordered both
Loeder aud Price to be locked up for
examination. Mr.. Morris said yesterday
that his side was ready to begin again
within an hour after the discharge Of the
jury, using the testimony of Loeder and
Price.
The Times to-day has the following in
its story of the Tilton. Beecher jury:
" About 4 pm. yesterday those who hap
pened to be in the corridor were aston.
ished to see Sherman, Murray and Bige-
low, and lawyer Abbott's clerk walk
briskly TO the courtroom adjoining the
one in which the jury we're, with two
windows looking directly in two windows
of the latter room at distance Of about
twenty feet. An attempt to follow them
showed they had secured the door behind
them by placing a chair under the knob.
When a point was found from which a
view Of the interior Of the room could
be obtained it was seen that Sherman,
BigeIow and Abbott clerk were engaged
in an animated debate in front of oze Of
the windows mentioned, while Murray
was at the other conversiDg in a loud
voice with Christopher Filter and Geo.
Hull who we're standing at the window
opposite. AT this the reporters burst in
the door and entered the room, when
Shearman, Murray and the clerk in
stantly made their exit. Bigelow re.
NAMED nearly half an hour, the report
ers watching him closely, when be, too,
took his leave In apparent disgust. As
soon as Filler saw the reporters he
closed up the blinds. A view of the
room subsequently obtained from a
house on the Boerum place showed that
the twelve we're again in consultation.
The Tltou.B eecher jury have not yet
agreed. This morning they sent for the
testimony Of Beecher and Moulton and
it was furnished them. Itwas rumored
around the court building to day that
Loeder, who was arrested on the charges
Of conspiracy and perjury, has confessed
that his story and published affidavit
were manufactured and untrue.
Lteder was arraigned in the Third
District Court this morning, but owing
to the lack of preparation on both sides
the case was adjourned until to morrow.
The Irish team won the eieh. hundred
yards match.
The Americans won the 900 yards
match.

wind is blowing.
Noon.-The firing began 1901 after
ii o'clock at the 800 yards range. A
detachment of the Fiftieth regiment act
as markers. Nearly half the shots have
now been fred, but so close are the
scores it is impossible to anticipate the
result. At the present range beth sides
are doing fine work, and nearly all the
shots are bulrs-eyes.
p.m.-The firing at the 800 yards
range has been completed, and the re-
suit is one point in favor Of the Irish
team, the total score standing as follows:

fully 10000 spectators on the grounds,
among them the Lord Mayor of London.

expect to hear less Of it when they are
ouce appeased. There is not a respect
able faction of repudiationists in the
State, but a majority Of the people be-
lieve that the debt was recklessly piled
up and that their heavy losses by the
war and bad legislation justify them in
demanding an equitable arrangement
with the bondholders whereby they may
be relieved to some extent and enabled
thereafter to meet promptly the remain
ing principal and interest rs it falls
due. Many a farmer and many a South
ern merchant has settled up on such a
basis with his creditors without going
into bankruptcy or losing his credit. 1t
is a fair business proposition, which vio-
lates no obligation, no ones conscience,
and yet does justice all around.
SPEAKING of the passive policy of the
Republican Tarty in Tennessee, the
Nashville Banner concludes an able ar
ticle as follows:
Fifteen years Of Radical sway and the
present blissful condition of things as
the result, is all the argument required
to impress the necessity for a change.
II matters not what you call the'party OF
opposition-whether the Democratic
party, or the anti monopoly party. or the
peoples party. or what MOTT will be
the party which names the next Presi-
dent of the United States, swells the
working majority in Congress, sweeps
every Congressional district in Tennes-
see, elects the next Governor and selects
through its chosen Legislature the next
United States Senator. And it will
doubtless proceed to the discharge OF
this patriotic duty in the usual way
through the same formula Of nominating
conventions, and by as close an organi
cation as the exigencies nav require.
The Republican programme, sly aud
dark as it is intended TO be, will not pre-
vail. We cannot but commend its pru-
Dental promptiugs to resolve itself, as a
party, into the passive transition stage OF
Independent voters, preparatory to the
reorganization OF parties at some future
lay, but for the present it were worse
han folly for it to seek to recover It's
ost grip on the throat Of Tennessee.
Iovertly or otherwise, II can't be did"

Ssgnally FailedIO Do.
To the Editor Of the Ledger;
,0nce upon a time the valiant old APP
peal, 10 a 6t of false philanthropy, shout
dered that back-breaking load, the School
Board ring, with its two pets, Barnum
and Picket, tagged on, and made hercu-
lean efforts to tote 'em over the deep
slough Of disgrace into which they had
tumbled by their Encouragement of
the public money, and by their reckless
disregard OF school regulations and other
misdemeanors. Now, every one knows,
although the Appeal sweated and
groaned and pulled and praised the
Board until it would have blushed with
shame if it had not been of a wooden
nature, as boards usually are. Yet, with
all its efforts, the Appeal failed to con-
vert one man, oma or child to a be-
lief in the Board, the csrpet-bag ring, or
Picket. Yet, in the face Of this great
failure of the Appeals, that spunky
little Avalanche brsshly hoists on its
shoulders the dead weight the Appeal
has shaken off in disgust. Such courage
deserves encouragement. Three cheers
for the Avalanchel P. c.

use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into

occasional use will prevent the hair

Free from those deleterious SUBJ

not harm it. If wanted merely for
