Took a Header and Down He Went

Yesterday morning about ten O'Clock two
eolored men were in q lighter, near the
Kztie's whasf, fishing. One OF them had
lust caught fish and re0aited his hook,
and moved back few steps in order to bet

causing him to lose his balance, and he was
Drecfpitsted into the wateT-toOk g

in the lighter extended q pole 70 him, which

Masonic Frauds.

As of interest to the fraternity in this city
and section, we clip the following from the
Louisville Commercial:
"The Secretary of Clark Lodge, No. 81,
A. Y. NJ, has received information from
Indiana that a fellow calling himself H. A.
Dunton, H. A. Dunlap or Il. a. Burns, and
representing that he is a member of Clark
Lodge, No. 81, and Edwards Chapter, No.
Is, of this city, is imposing himself On
individual Masons and lodges, receiving
charity from them. He desires to warn
the fraternity against him, as there is no
such lodge as Clark, No. 81, or Edwards
CHAPTER in Louisville. He is travelling all
over the country, and this information is
given to protect the craft from further i'm
position, and with the hope that Grand
Secretaries will notify the lodges in their
jurisdictions at once. Any information con-
corning this man should be communicated
to J. B. Fishback, Secretary Clark Lodge
No. 81, Louisville, KY. The craft is also
warned against one j. Hamilton, who also
claims to be a member of Clark"
The Charleston NelCs and Courier, refer
ring TO this matter, says: "We are informed
that person styling himself James Hamil-
ton Bell, and claiming to be q member of
Clark Lodge No. 81, Louisville, KY, has
been imposing upon the Masonic fraternity
IN this State. Doubtless he is the ]. Hemil-
Ton referred to in the above extract. He is
about five and a half feet high, Scotch
man, bridge of nose broken, lightly deaf in
the right ear, and palate gone"

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
Mr.. Henkle's Plea for the Defend
ants.

WASHINGTON, August 31.-In the Crimi-
nal Court this morning Mr. Henkle, of
counsel for the defense, began his argument.
Before addressing the jury, he called the
attention OF the court to the scheme of
the indictment. The government
had conceded that branch of
the conspiracy, which in the indictment had
been attributed to Turner, had not been
sustained by the proof, and he urged that
Turner and Turner's performances were
necessary part of the scheme of the indict-
ment, and that, If the case had failed as to
him, 1t had failed as to all. This view Of the
case Mr.. Henkle presented at great length
and with numerous citations Of authorities
Mr.. Henkle then proceeded to criticise
the practice OF the prosecution in villfyiDg
the defendants, insisting that brave men
ought never to pursue such a course. The
only solution for this method of proceeding
on the part of the prosecution was that they
had not made out their case. They dis
played their anger because they saw that
their victims were escaping them.
Mr.. Henkle then addressed himself to the
consideration of the amount and kind of
testimony which in a criminal case can
justify verdict of guilty. The presump-
tion or innocence was strong one. Not
only must 1t be overcome, but the evidence
relied upon must be so strong as to eliminate
from the minds of the jury any trace of
reasonable doubt He expressed the opinion
that the government had hopelessly, fatally
and finally failed to produce any such evil
dence. Pending the conclusion of Mr..
Henkle's argument the court adjourned.

HOOP IRON.
Way of PrOGectIOn-The q question
OF Cotton Ties.

CLEVELAND, August 31-The Tariff Com
mission was in session here to-day for four
hours. The first hearing was given to
representatives of the hoop iron business,
whose case was stated by Joseph D. Weeks,
Of Pittsburg, and Thomas H. Mills, of the
Johnstown, Ohio, Rolling Mills. They
represented eighty-fve hoop iron manufac-
turers In different parts of the country.
The schedule asked for was 1Kc. per
pound on hoop iron 8 inches or less in
width and not thinner than No. 10 wire
gauge; 115c. when thinner than No. 10 and
not thinner than No. IL, and 15<c. when
thinner than No. II. Mr.. Weeks said these
are virtually the present rates, with the
gauges and widths somewhat changed. Less
than these rates wonld not afford
adequate protection. and should not be con-
sidered. He denied that this duty would
not be hardship to cotton planters who
buy ties at the price OF iron and sell them
at the price OF cotton. The average price
OF these is four cents pound, and OF cotton
III cents. On the cotton crop of 1880 the
proht to the cotton planters from this source
was about five and half million dollars.
Mr.. Underwood challenged witness to
point out q single case In which the cotton
planter got paid for the iron ties used in
baling cotton.
Mr.. Weeks asserted that the fact is uni
verssl that when the bale is weighed the
cotton ties are weighed with it.
Mr.. Underwood--Somem members of the
commission think the great agricultural in
terests OF the country are entitled to con-
slderation, and ought to be fairly treated.
The Cotton States ought not to be depressed
by protective duties unnecessarily high.
Mr.. Weeks, further explaining, said:
'.The trouble which they wish to remedy is
the Treasury ruling on the subject of hoop
IRON"
Mr.. Wells stated that the existing tariff
law on hoop iron is clear and right, but has.
been perverted by absurd Treasury rulings,
which admit cotton ties at 35 per cent.
ad vslOrem. Those rulings annihilated
the home manufacture of cotton ties and
gave the business to England. The twenty
one American firms which have been en-.
gagged in the manufacture of them have
ceased to make them. la order to remedy
the evil and guard against further miscon-
struction on the part of the Treasury off
ctals the duty ought to be made specific and
not ad Valorem
