A Times Washington special says
that Miles, the safe burglar, now in

Bowers married her brother. in-law,
Belknap, so soon after The death OF her
sister. She knew he was as putty in
her hands, and with his position she
would gain an entrance INTO ''society"
Vim u big .; and that though the pO-
sitiou of her husband she could make
money. Women are proverbial!y sue
cessfiii in preserving the secrets OF
their dnours generally, but when it
cnnes down 10 matters of business
questions, they are not so secretive.
And this whole Impeachment business
Is but the result of a quarrel between
two jealous rome about another
woman's husband. Had not naughty
George PendletOn turned a cold
shoulder to ward Mrs. Marsh and
talked music to Mrs. Belknap, while
the trio were in Europe ,ogel her, the
chances are that Mrs. Marsh would
not have persuaded her gullible hus
band to go before the investigating
committee and confess tn having
brilbed Belknap, the Secretary OF War.
A wOman's cunning ard vengeance
will accomplish most anything. Mrs.
Marsh said she would "bring Mrs.
Belknap DOWN." and her recreant
George fell with her. This is addition

was increased to $50. 900. and it

at present. the appropriation has bean
cut down to $S0,O00 Had he given the
figures the people would not have re-

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

From the "Sentinel's" Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 81.
The readers of the SENTINEL have
been kept posted as to the mysteries
and formalities attending the Belknap
impeachment and trial. So far it has
all been ceremony and excitement. We
now come down to serious business.
Wednesday a mob of about 1000
surged in the Senate galleries 10 wit
ness the impeachment trial. Police.
men were stationed down stairs to
keep others back after the galleries
had been overloaded. The women,
persuming upon their rights as wo-
men, crowded into the gentlemen's
gallery, to the exclusion of the latter.
A drove of them came around TO the
reporters gallery, but they We're told
that if they we're good looking they
could not get in there; so they '4altzed
away. The same imposing formal
ties Is Ofthe previous court day were OBJ
served, wen unto the quaint and noisy
proclamation by the Sergeant at
Arms commanding everybody to OBJ
serve silence. Belknap, SO eager 10 be
seen, came in before the Senate re-
solved itself into a court. He sat there
che object Of the contempturus gaze of
the crowd for nearly 20 minutes, until
the Board Of Impeachment Managers
on the part Of the House came in, and
announced that the House had adopt
ed a resolution in reply to Belknap's
- mr. 1900 ,.,,- ra~ .,,i :,
to the effect that the impeachment ri
Belknap was under progre>s when be
resigned, and, kn%owingthis, he resigned
to escape impeachment, and that he
could not thus defeat punishment for
his official acts by resignation, and,
therefore, the Senate had juri>diaiion
to try the articles OF impeachment.
Belknap's counsel asked until Friday,
9th inst, tnreply 10 this, and the court
adjourned until that day. After adj
journing BeIknap walked around the
Senate chamber, as it to show him
self, imagining himself the hero OF the
hour. A man with ordinary s~elf-re-
spect would have Immediately sought
secluSion in one of the ante-r0oms
until the audience had dispersed, but
he chose to remain in full view of the
1900 spectators, and they remained
long after the court adjourned, no
taking the least interest in the
routine business of the Senate,
but gazing upon this shameless

At the municipal election held at Pla-

INDIANAPOLIS, May 2.
The Republicans carried the city
election to-day by a large majority,
electlng eleven out Of thirteen Coun-
cilmen. After closing the polls a Sc
rious fight was commenced near the
Sixth ward voting place, which was
continued nerthward on Illinois street,
to the vicinity Of the Grand and Bates
hotels, when it assumed the character nt
a riot, lasting for twenty or thirty min
uteS and resulting in the killing OF one
and probably fatally injuring two col
ored men. There are at present eight
wounded persons at the Surgical In~ti
tute, and several others, blacks and
whites, are known to have been
hurt. 1t is impossible FROM the many
conflicting accounts to give the i'm.
mediate cause of the fight.

ON The question: "Were the people of
Antioch justified in the measures they
used in expelling the Chinese?" The
resnlt was fOrrible and unanimous,
"yes!" Mr.. Horsford made a violent
speech, advocating marching in armed
bodies through the streets and cleaning
out the Chinese summarily. A som
mittee was appointed TO wait on all
parties employing Chinese and request
the immediate discharge of all such
and the substitution Of white men.

PIocHE, May 3.
The Record this morning contains
the following: Yesterday Florence
Sullivan, the sister of Tim. Sullivan,
who died from his w)unds on the 18th
uit., informed Deputy Sheriff Bird
sail that the board of Vim. Donnelly
would be paid no longer by the friends
Of the deceased, as they could not
stand it. Deputy sheriff Birdsall no.
tilted the Commissioners that some
provisions would have to be made for
Donnelly's sustenance or sethe Sher-
lit would turn him loose to-day. No
action was taken in the matter by the
commissioners. so. as a matter Of
course, Donnelly, whom a Coroner's
jury accuse of killing Tim. Sullivan,
will be placed at liberty this morning.
We do not wish to endeavor to preju-
dies any one against a prisoner or one
accused of any crime, but it seems 10
lis that matters in regard to criminals
or those accused OF crime should I've

JAIL DELIVERY In pIoCmE.


We learn by a special dispatch to the
SENTINEL from Phoebe, published in
another column, hat the ma Dom
nelly, charged by the Coroner's jury
with the murder of Tim. Sullivan dur
ing the latter part Of last month, will
be released from custody to-day by
reason OF the inability of the county
to provide for it's prisoners. II APP
pears that the friends Of the deceased
have heretofore paid for his board, and
while that was provided the Sheritfhas
detained him in custody under the
commitment. These parties, though
DESTROYS OF bringing the accused to jus
tice, are unable longer to provide for
his support, and, under the decision OF
Judge Rives, the county having 10
funds can not pay his board. The
man must either be released or starve,
and the Sheriff very properly notified
the Board of County Commissioners
that he will discharge the prisoner I'M
less he be provided with food. The
Record, whether justly or not we can
lot say, attaches the blame in the
premises to the Supreme Court for its
dilatoriness. 1t certainly is a hard
case that a community should be with
out protection for life or property by
reason of the impecuniosity of the
treasury, while their property is taxed
for public uses almost beyond endur-
ance. The people of Phoebe have good
RUS to complain and to complain
bitterly; but against whom Il complaint
will lie, we can not for the life Of us
determine.

morning, says the Carson Appeal,
about 2 o'clock, as the Virginia and
Truckee railroad train was leaving
Reno a dreadful accident occurred. A
party of Piutes had thronged o the
platform of one OF the cars, and as the
train started one was crowded between
the coaches tn The track. The wheels
passed over the POOR fellows legs, sew
ering them completely from the body.
The train was stopped as soon as pos
sible. The mangied savage lay upon
the ground crying out that the white
men had killed him, and his brother,
Irenz'ed no doubt by the sight of his
relatives suffering, drew his rifle to
ms shoulder and fired through the car
window. The ball just grazed the
scalp ol bald n respectable gentle-
man, and narrowly missed a lady on
the other side. We failed to learn the
fate of h Indian who was RIM over.

Hark how they clap hands. and scream with de

Happy at last, rot a moment they wait,
Laughing and shouting they rush to the gate.
