Instructions to the Jury in the James Trial
The Arguments Begun.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-The Post-Dispatch spe-
cial from Gallatin, Mo-, says: "In the Frank
James trial the proceedings did not begin
until late this morning. Mrs Frank James,
accompanied by her little boy, made her
first appearance in the courtroom during
the trial, and took a seat beside her husband.
The court announced that each side would
be given ten hours in which TO present their
arguments, which will permit the case to go
to the jury on Wednesday at noon. The
court on motion, extended the time of the
defense to twelve hours. The instructions
for the State and defense were then
read. The instruction for murder in the sec
ond degree does not amount to much, as it
can only be returned as separate from the
robbery. The killing of McMllen by any
member of the gang while pursuing the rob-
berry, if defendant is believed to have been
one of the party, is murder in the first de-
gree. The instructions as to credibllity of
witnesses were very clear and favorable to
the defense, the jury being instructed that
the testimony of an associate in crime re-
quires confederation to the extent of GER
tainty. w. D. Hamilton, prosecuting attor-
ney of this (Daviess) county opened the case
for the State, and spoke till court adjourned.
John w. Glover will appear for the defense.

Dahlgren may have written it thoughtlessly
or deliberately. She may be susceptible or
indifferent to the storm of blame it has
aroused-there is no way OF knowing these
things. But it is certain that such a revela-

capacity is painful to her friends, and even
to those who knew her only by repute as an
accomplished, upright woman, hospitable
without ostentation and fashionable without
frivolity Protected by the res pect her name

Criticism.

Criticism.
Washington Post.
1t may be briefly said of Mrs. Dahlgren's
book that it is unmitigated trash. What is
meant for wit is pointless, what is meant for
reflection is trite and what is meant for his
tory is inaccurate. The characters she intro
duces by their proper names or under fimsy
DISCUSSES are Insignificant or silly. The
purely fictitious characters, or those which
she has not placarded as portraits, are just as
bad, and the pompous bombast with which
their puerilities are recorded is sickening.
More pretentious nothngness than the con-
versation between Mrs. Wilton and Garfield
could not be concocted, and where could one
find so dreary an exhibition of wit as that Of

Recent Western Trip,

Recent Western Trip.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-An intimate friend
of ex-senator Conkling says the distinguished
New Yorker has no political ambition what
ever; that when New York failed to sustain
him in his fight for vindicaton he withdrew
permanently from politics, feeling that the
State had lost as much by that withdrawal
as he had and that in the fullness of time
popular sentiment would accord to him the
vindication he had sought at the hands of a
people he felt should have known his
integrity of purpose we'll enough
to have stood by him. He
is free to acknowledge that he made a mis-
take in resigning his seat IN the Senate, but
he does not in the least regret it. He is in
receipt of a princely income and can enter
tain as he pleases, as is shown by his trip to
the Yellowstone with a company of friends
The entire expenses of that iaunt, including
railroad transportation, were paid by him.
He would accept no favors at the hands of
railroad companies that he did not pay for
He is private citizen in the fullest accepta-
ton of the word, and he moves along un-
mindful of abuse or praise.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Warehouse Burned and Several Persons
Killed and Injured.

Killed and Injured.
CINCINNATI Sept. 3.-Shortly before 3
o'clock this afternoon fire from an I'M
known cause broke out on the first floor of
the rag and paper warehouse of Henry Dire
mans & Co., on Walnut street With re-
markable swiftness the flames ran up through
five stories of the doube-front warehouse
and communicated with the TimesS Star
building, adjoining. In less than fifteen
minutes all the building was a mass of
flames. Mary Flynn, working on the third
floor of the rag warehouse jumped to the
ground, broke leg and received internal in
jures. Gus. Huber, employed on the third
floor, managed to get down the stairway but
fell unconscious on the first floor and his
head and face were burned almost to a crisp.
He was removed to the hospital, and will
die. Mary Mieneken and Stella Miers
were cut off from the stairway on
the second floor. They inmped to
the pavement safely They said another girl
was on the same floor, afraid to jump. The
gravest fears are entertained for the safety of
five employees of the rag warehouse-Mrs.
0Donneli, Rosa Liddie, Mary Burke, Annie
Lynch and Nellie Kelly. They had not re-
ported at their homes at the usual hour and

and on stock at $50, 900, mostly insured. The
building was owned by the heirs of Robert
Crawford. The three upper stories of the

room, were entirely burnt out. The loss to

PENSION FEES.
An Attempt to Abolish the Collecting of
Fees in Advance.

Washington Special.
Colonel Dudley, Commissioner of Pensions,
will make strong effort this winter to have
the law allowing claim agents to collect fees
in advance repealed. The effect of the repeal
would be to place agents and pensions on the
same footing occupied before the passage of
the law of 1878. Through that law restric-
tons thrown around attorneys were re-
moved The consequences to both claim
agents and the government have been disas-
trous, inasmuch as the temptation of few
dollars in each case has led the sharks to
scrape the country with a fine-toothed comb
to drum up applications without regard as to
whether they had good claims or not. The
effect of this on the government is to load the
Pension Office down with cases, necessitating
the employment of hundreds of clerks.
There is thought to be little doubt that Con-
gress will readily attend to this phase of the
pension difficulties, and at least greatly cur
tail existing evils.
