Atlanta, May 3.-Cox, on trial for
the murder of Alston, testified to-day
that he was concerned with Senator
Gordon in the convict labor business,
they dividing together with Aston.
Defendant finally sold out, Aston act
ing as his agent. 1t was about the
terms of Alston's remuneration for
the sale that the quarrel originated.
Aston asked so great fee, that to pay
it would have beggared the defendant.
Aston threatened to stop the trade and
the defendant threatened to expose the
convict labor trade.
Alston threatened to kill the defend
ant if he did so; witness told Alston to
arm and meet him, which was done at
the capitol. Alston shot him twice,
once in the mouth and once in the
hand, and dazed by the noise and the
effects of the shots, the defendant then
fired through the smoke at Alston, and
saw him fall. He only shot in self de-
fense. Aston was his best friend, and
he didn't want to kill him.

A Remarkable Book.

New York, May 3.-The city jour-
nails to-day and yesterday devoted much
space to reviews and editorial criti-
cisms of remarkable book, published
to-day. 1t purports to be a revelation
of the future life, made to the daughter
of Henry Kiddle, who is known by a
hundred thousand public school gradu-
ates and their parents, and widely
throughout the United States as an eff
cient and time-honored superintendent
of the New York public schools during
a great many years past. 1t has occa-
stoned the greatest surprise, because he
was the last man who would have been
thought capable of yielding to spiritual
ism. 1t processes to have revelations
from all great men of history. Unlike
most modern spiritualists, however, he
processes christianity. He says: 81
may be prosecuted for being a christian
and for teaching primitive christianity,
when atheists and materialists are
respected. Those who are connected
with ecclesiastical organizations, and
those who are set in dogmas formulated
long after our savior left the world, will
take ground against me. The super
naturalism of my book will be objected
to, but spirit writing is as old as human
nature. The Chinese have had it for
thousands OF years. believe it will be
the means of saving hundreds of thou

Washington, May 8. The demo-

and determined as to a line of action
in regard to the army appropriation
bill and agreed upon the exact terms of
the measures to be separately passed in
lieu of the sixth section; it being also
agreed that all consideration of the re-
mainder of the bill shall be deferred
until this independent political measure
shall have been acted upon by the pres
ident. 1t will provide in substance
that sections 20O2 and 2003 of the re-
vised statutes shall not be construed as

AFTERNOON REPORT.
THE SECRET OUT.
DETAILS OF THE DEM. CAUCUS
The Members Sworn to Secrecy But
the Secret Leaks out-General
News From the Four
Winds.
That Sealed Caucus.

Washington, May at is said that
no little time was devoted to-day in the
democratic caucus to discussing the
improperly of members making public
the utterances of their colleagues. One
member expressed his surprise and cha
grin that the proceedings of caucus
deliberation, taking place under pledge
of secrecy, should be "retailed out to
penny a liners" At recent caucus
he had to make a speech and he had
never lisped word of it to any human
being outside of the caucus. What
was the result? Nearly verbatim re-
port had been telegraphed to the four
corners of the earth. He had been
hurt; hence his friends and he regarded
it as an outrage.
The representatives were never more
eagerly sought than they have been to-
night, and they were never more reti-
cent. An old member shook his head
when questioned and only said:
"The most can do is to assure you
that to-day's action contemplated the
safety of the country.''
Another member after positively de-
Ginning to say anything, blurted out:
"Well, no conclusion has been
reached.''
All sorts of rumors are rife. One is
that there was split in the caucus and
an adjournment was taken until to-
morrow. There was great deal of
talk to no purpose, and that every
member present was then sworn to Sc
crecy. This latter statement is plausi.
BILE in view of the fact that at an early
hour this evening, callers were inform
ed that "Mr.-is i'll and will see
no one" and ''Mr.-has retired for
tonight" &C.; at all events, definite
information is not obtainable.
Another story, and it is probably
a correct one, runs that the caucus alb
solutely declined to accept the report of
the joint committe as outlined in these
despat ches yesterday, and recommitted
it for them to put it in some other form,
hopeful that it might be so amended as
to be favorably passed upon. The
democratic senators at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon also went into caucus for the
purpose of receiving and acting upon
the report of the joint committee con-
cerning the army appropriation bill

There being no vacant building in the

SCHOOL MEETING.

The annual school meeting of the
first school district of Laramie county,
will be held at the school house to-mor-
row morning, at 10 o'clock. The busi-
ness to be transacted are the election
Of a director for the ensuing three
years, and the providing of funds for
school purposes for one year. Judge
Slaughter's term as director will expire,
and lie will probably be reelected.
Cheyenne's public school, so far as
the system of teaching, and the qualifi-
cations of the teachers are concerned,
stands first in every respect. We have
noted remarkable progress among the
scholars generally during the past
three years; those in the advanced
classes, especially, having all the ad-
vantages usually enjoyed in academies.
The same degree of perfection, how
ever, does not extend to the school
building itself. While it is roomy and
perhaps accommodates all the children
who are being sent to school at present,
it does not provide sufficient ventila-
tion-or more properly, the school
rooms have no ventilation at all. They
are either cold or overheated, thus per-
mitting all the life-giving properties of
the air to be exhausted, and it is there
fore not strange that physical prostra-
tion and severe illness frequently result
from these causes. We have heard
many complaints from parents during
the past year, who were compelled to
withdraw their children from school on
account of sickness resulting from the
improper ventilation of the school
rooms. We spend thousands upon
thousands for schoolhouses and the
education of our children, and do it
more thoughtlessly and with more
waste, than we would permit any other
business to be conducted.
Let the electors of the Cheyenne
school district, at the meeting, to-mor-
row, devise some means for the proper
ventilation of the public school house,
and thus provide for their children a
safe place where they have to spend
half their waking hours during the
years which will tell upon all their fu-
ture life.

every form in which it may present it

or the fact that it may become onerous
to certain classes of the community.
Wells can find nothing in this Pacific
theory that commends itself to the
mind of average good sense. He de-
clares that the sweeping provisions of
this new constitution will not stand the
test of the United States constitutional
law, and will never be respected by the
people whose property it affects. In a
word, that it is utterly impracticable
and cannot be enforced"

Washington, May Davidson called
attention to the speech of Russell, print
ed in the Record, Though not delivered)
and pronounced some of its statements
wholly and absolutely untrue. He add
ed that the flippant manner in which
members charged fraud on others,
was altogether unbecoming the station
which they occupied.
Stephens reported bill to enable i'm
porters to use the metric system of
weights and measures. Referred to
thecommittee on ways and means.
Springer, chairman of the committee
on elections, reported back the bill re-
lating to the contested election cases,
with unimportant amendments.
Warner submitted an amendment to
his silver bill, providing that gold and
silver bullion, which shall become the
property of the government by the re-
turn of the certificates to the treasury
in payment of dues thereto, shall be
coined and paid out the same as other
money. He made an argument in sup
port of his substitute, and quoted, in
favor of his argument, from writings
and speeches of Hamilton, jefferson
and Webster. He spoke of the demone-
tization of silver as felonious act on
the part of the monied classes, and ar
gued that congress had no right to pass
that legislation. He asserted that not
only was President Grant not aware at
the time of his signing the bill which
demonetized silver, but that two years
subsequently neither the president nor
his cabinet were aware of it.
Fort reminded Warner that the
ground had been all Travelled over, and
that silver had been remonetized two
years ago.
Warner replied that the Bland bill,
while remonetizing silver, did not re-
establish its bi-metalic standard, and
that it was for that he was contending.
The legal tender paper currency was as
much money as if it were gold or silver
coin. He asserted that in England
gold had appreciated in its purchasing
power between 15 and 20 per cent. with
in the last fifteen months, and the ques-
tion was whether the standard, which
was thus constantly changing, should
be adhered to. If he had his own way,
the light of another day should not fade
from the sky till every one of these fin
ancial measures, wicked and wrong
throughout, were torn from the statute
book. Applause. The effect of the
provision Of the bill allowing an un-
limited coinage of silver, would be to
increase the value of silver, and to de-
crease the value of gold. That was
sort of compensation that belonged to
the bi-metalic system, and tended to
retain the equivalency of two metals.
In conclusion, he urged return to the
standard of our fathers, and the giving
to the people of a currency that had an
element of unchangeability to the
fullest extent possible. That could
only be done by allowing an unlimited
coinage of both metals. Applause.
Clafin obtained the floor, and the
house adjourned.

More About That Revolution.

Panama, April 24.-The Star and
Herald says of the attempted revolution
there that the plot to overthrow the
government was concerted by disaffect-
ed politicians who sought to purchase
the officers of the Columbian guards
and secured some. The commander of
the regiment discovered the plot and so
Iebuked the officers that O'Baldish
assaulted the colonel with his sabre,
and was shot down by the colonel's son,
aged Is, and lieutenant in the battal-
ion. The row then becamel general,
and continued until Col. Carvajal and
his son, four other officers and several
men were killed, and from eight to ten
wounded. The news of the tragedy
was soon around town and adherents of
the government at once decided to
check the attempt at insurrection.
