latlns No., special says: When court
met this afternoon Mr.. O'Neil was called
and asked for an answer to the question
put to him last evening regarding his
newspaper interview with Frank James.
Witness then made the statement that he
had given all the testimony IN his poses
siou regarding the acts or course OF the
defendant, but for proper reasons he
could not answer the question a. 20 who
was present at said interview, Is such
persons would be placed In false 20
sltlo0, and witness YVES bound by pledge
20 withhold their names.
II. wallace stated that If witness
would say he had never heard any OF
the names connected with this affair
they would not insist on an answer.
Witness replied that he could not an
sWer that que stion.
The court then took the matter under
advisement.
Sheriff J. r. Timberlake testified to
having kept bay mare fog Mr.. Roberts
for several days about the time of the
Winston robbery. The mare was then
turned over TO one Graham, who came
and claimed il.
The state here rested its case.
The defense then asked the court to
91jO0tn until u1OFnLuk AZ Ot00I W give
them time to complete their stateme Mt
and gather their witnesses. This was
granted and court adjourned.
THE EvIDENCE-
The testimony OF the states witnesses
to-day was intended TO supply all the
missing links and complete the cham of
evidence which the state has been forg-
ing for the past four days, and when the
state rested its case to-day little doubt
was left in the minds OF those who have
heard the evidence from the beginning
as to its completeness. The state has
woven network ofcircumstances around
the accused, from which it will require
the most direct and positive testimony in
rebuttal to extrIcate him. But all that can
be done by able LAWYERS will be done.
The witnesses for the prosecution bear
good characters, and their testimony will
be entitled to great weight. The defense
will doubtless be conducted upon two
theories. The first will be to show that
James was not . participant in the Win
stOn robbery, and that Liddil swoTe
falsely. The other position will be that
even IL defendant was at Winston 1t has
not been shown that he took an active
part in the affair, or that he killed Nc
MILAN or robbed the express car. This

out. James attorneys were in consulta-
ton all the afternoon and evening.

DefalcatiOn in Tennessee.

The refusal of Treasurer NJ. 4. Polk,
nephew of President Polk, to pay the
January interests on the $lG,000,000 o
adjustment Tennessee bonds is accoun-
ed for. He is Il defaulter for $500, 900,
and is missing from his usual haunts. A
legislative resolution provides for attach
ing his property on the ground that his
bond is not sufficient to secure the state.
1t may be that he is short more than
$400, 900, for he had collected 5000, 900,
and the treasury doesn't show any sur
face indications of wealth hidden in the
dim recesses of its vaults. Mr.. Folks

pair from the statesmen assembled, for
there is no per diem in sight. The bond
holders are hardly disappointed They

curing their dues, principle or interest

Gebhardt and Langtry.

Mr.. Frederick Gebhardt is out in card
After speaking of the comments that
have been made upon his personal ap-
pearance, habits, etc., he says: Gun
fortunately these comments reflect up
on lady whose friendship am proud
to possess, and who is as painfully sur
prised as am that in a country where
chiyalry and independence are supposed
to exist, every day should be marked by
a new and coarse invasion into her pri-
vate life. My attentions to Mrs. Lang
try are such as any gentleman should,
without comment, be privileged to pay
to any lady. Mrs Langtry is here in the
company of her husbands sister, dwell
ing in a public hotel, and the object of
such scrutiny as none but a person of ir-
reproachable character would court. A
little reflection would, am sure, sug-
gest to most people that many of the re-
marks made in relation to my acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Langtry-a stranger in a
strange land, and on that account the
more dependent upon congenlal friends
for few hours relaxation after her du-
ties to the public have been performed
are scarcely in consonance with JUS
tice, kindness or decency."

End of the Tabor Scandal.

In the court at Omaha, Neb., on We'd
nesdav, Mrs. Augusta l.. Tabor obtained
a divorce from her husband, Lieut.-Gov.
Tabor, on the ground of desertion. The
action was mutually agreed upon by the
attorneys OF both parties. the alimony
being set at $250,000. Within an hour
from the time the proposition was made
by Tabor's attorney the decree was Ell
tered. Mrs. Tabor insisted that she
ought to have 100000 alimony, but
when the settlement was set she seemed
satisfied. She was decided the property
on which she lives, and also the Laveta
place, the fashionable residence block
of the city. This ends what threatened
to become a most complicated case.
Mrs. Tabor in her complaint withdrew
all the offensive charges of the former
suit for maintenance.

A Washington Official Shocked.

Washington Special: Commissioner

beyond torbearance Friday, and the
result was that a young man named
Deering Fosdyck was dismissed, and
the office is scandalized Some months
ago Mr.. Fosdyck married a daugh-
ter of Commodore Whiting of the
navy. For a while back it seems that
Fosdyck has been in the habit of show
ing attentions to a pretty cle- of the de-
partment, and his wife hearing of it be-
came very much incensed and laid her
grievance before Commissioner McFar-
land, who called up the recreant hus-
band and administered some ADVICE up
on the subject Of marital propriety. Fos-
dyck, however, made light of it and
the Office was completely upset by the
appearance OF Mrs. Fosdyck, armed with
rawhide, i'll search of the young lady.
She made an attempt to assault ner, bu
the Young lady escaped unhurt. Mrs
Fosdyck followed her, but was unable
to overtake the fleeing one. The COM
missioner was informed Of the cause OF
ofthe commotion, and having slept up
on it. Mr.. Fosdyck was peremptorilv
bounced. 1t is alleged that divorce suit

speculate

The people of Kentucky are looking
forward anxiously to the next state
election, which occurs next year, to
rid them of their present governor.
1T is charged, and alleged to be suscep-
tible of proof, that Governor Blackburn,
the present incumbent, has during his
administration, pardoned more than :
500 criminals, and has RENTED fines
amounting to more than $2,00O,000, be-
sides granting respites on other fines
amounting to aboutSl 600, 900 more. Gov
ernor Alexander Stephens of Georgia
has done even worse than this in the
short time he has occupied the exec
utive chair. Good as we'll as evil, will
come out of such fragrant abuses of the
pardoning power, for there is reason to
believe that it will be restricted within
reasonable limits. The whole trouble
comes from a misconception of the

Murder in Winona County, Mimi

A fatal aflray occurred at Lewiston, in
Winona county, Mimi, eighteen miles
from Winona, on Monday evening,
wherein James McHugh, somewhat
Noted character living four miles south of
Lewiston, was fatally shot by Henry
Flick, an equally noted character living
at that place. Some years ago they came
to blows over Iall game. Monday after
noon both were drinking at the saloons,
and first met in John Folds saloon,
where Flick alleges that he was assaulted
by McHugh, who hit him two or three
times. Eye witnesses state that about
o'clock Flick was seen going towards
OGrosky's saloon with revolver in his
hand, and exclaimed with an oath as he
passed that "Jim McHugh must die to-
night" Soon thereafter the two men
were engaged in hand-to- hand encoun-
ter, and while McHugh was on the floor,
with Flick on top of him, the latter fred
two shots from thirty-two calibre re-
volver, one shot taking effect in the fieshy
part Of the right arm, the other passing
through his stomach, about three inches
below the heart. Both bullets were ex-
tracted, the latter from his back near the
spine. McHugh died Tuesday after
noon about 2:20 o'clock. Flick is in Jail.

Anti-RefOrm Talk in Washing
ton.

Washington Special: The civil service
reform bill is creating a great deal oil
dissatisfaction in the departments. Some
of the secretaries are anticipating the
bill by enforcing the most rigid reg
ulations. Secretary Folger has caused
much complaint by rule forbidding any
one employed in the treasury depart
ment receiving visitors during business
hours. This has been construed SO lit
orally that the heads of divisions even
have been reprimanded where members
of their own families have called upon
them to ask about domestic matters.
Controller Knox, who is supposed to be
Independent ofthe secretary, and Treas
urer Gllfillan. were both reprimanded
last week for receiving visits from their
wives. 1t is not believed that the rule
forbidding senators or members from
recommending people fer appointment
can be enforced. The bill will afford
them, however, splendid opportunity
to cold-shoulder every one but special
fay orites.
