Ispecial Telegram to the Globe. |

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-John Stew
art, colored barber, was shot fatally
about o'clock this morning by Wash
Cooper, plasterer, also colored. They
met on the public square and after few
words about Stewards wife, who had de-
serted him, Cooper drew bead on Stewart
with his squirrel rife and inflicted wound
from which his victim died within an hour.
The murderer took himself to the city
prison at once.

MONTGOMERY ACQUITTED.
Judge Norton Instructs the Jury to Bring
in Verdict of Not Guilty.

The trial of Charles W. Montgomery for the
murder of his father-in-law, Isaac Baker, some
weeks ago, began in the Criminal Court yester-
day morning, and came to summary ending in
the afternoon 1t will be remembered that
while Montgomery and Baker were engaged in a
drunken fight, Scott Seay, another relative, in
terfered, and struck Baker on the head several
times with piece of board. The old man died,
and Seay was sentenced TO twenty years
imprisonment for the crime. During his trial and
that of Mon tgomery there was no evidence
to establish the fact that the latter was directly
instrumental in causing Bakers death, as it was
proven directly that Seay struck the fatal
blows. After nearly all the witnesses had been
examined, yesterday, Judge Norton, seeing that
a continuance of the case was useless, directed
the jnry to bring ID a verdict of acquittal. In
doing this he explained that Montgomery was
being tried for manslaughter and there was not
sufficient evidence TO sustain such charge.
The prisoner was doubtless guilty of assault and
battery, and mad acted in an lnhuman and brutal
manner, for which he should be punished, but
he was not guilty as charged in the indictment,
and in following ont the forms of law a verdict
of acquittal must be returned, which was accord
iQQlV done.

CANDIDATES FOR oLERKsH1ps.
The First Examinati in This City Under
the New Civil-Service Bill.

The examination of Indiana applicants for
positions in the postal service was held in this
city yesterday by the State Board OF Examiners,
President Tinsler, David NJ. Elliott and Richard
j. Craft, under the direction OF Judge Thoman,
OF the Civil-service Commission. There we're
twenty applicants examined, one of whom was
lady, and only about seven are residents of
this city. The examination was conducted in two
casses-one for the applicants for positions in the
postoffice of this city, and another for the appli
cants for regular clerkships the Post
office Department at Washington. The candi-
dates for local positions were examined on four
questions, particular attention being given to
their penmanship, their photography, and their
rapidity in writing. The questions upon which
the regular examination was conducted were on
seven sheets, and related to history, govern
ment, arithmetic, bookkeeping, geography,
grammar, and matters of general political his
tory. The names of the applicants, under the
civil-service rules, should be written on a sepa-
rate sheet and nclosed with the answers given
to the questions. 1t is supposed that the board
of examiners do not know the applicants. The
standing of the applicants for local positions
will be known in day or two, but the papers
of the candidates seeking employment in the
POstoffiee Department will be forwarded to
Washington, and will be there passed upon by
the commission.

The Board Of Aldermen.

The Board of Aldermen, in a session of more
than two hours, last night, did practically
nothing. According to railroad time, Mr.. Tucker
talked, with brief inIermssons, for two hours,
and finally, at the suggestion of the president,
moved adjournment.
A special committee, consisting of Messrs.
Newman, Seibert and Hamilton, was directed
to sell all the old iron belonging the city not
now in use.
The police were directed TO enforce the or
dinance against the of toy pistols and against
house-mOving through the streets.
The city attorney was directed to appeal the
case of Samuel E. Perkins against the Mayor and
others to the Supreme Court.
The following motion, introduced by Mr..
Tucker, was adopted: at is the sense of this
Board that no appropriations be made by this
Board after this meeting, until estimates for the
several departments for the fiscal year en- ding
January l, 1854, are made and approved by this
Board, or by joint convention of the Board and
Council"
The street commissioner was directed to pro-
ceed at once to tear out the piles above and un-
der the north arcn OF East-street bridge, which
had been placed there in violation OF an ordin-
ance for the protection Of POgues run.
In the discussion upon an ordinance providing
for paving Market street between Pennsylvania
and Delaware streets, with cedar blocks, Mr..
Ticker thought that Medina stone ought to be
used instead, and declared that the block pave
ment of North Meridian street is fraud. IL is
already worn out in many places, he said, and
the blocks decaying. 1t was suggested by
Mr.. Layman that an experiment in stone paving
should be made on some square, it would
have to be used by the city ultimately. The
ordinance defeated, as it could not be
amended by Substituting stone instead of cedar
blocks for the Improvement of the street.

A LOOSE GAME OF BALL.
The indianapolis Club Defeats the Peoria
Reds by a Score of IA to 4.

The Peoria Reds, club that stands well up in
the League Alliance race, and has the reputation
OF being strong organization, met the Indianap-
oils club on the Seventh-street grounds yester-
day and were defeated by a score of IA to 4. 1t
was a very loosely played game of ball The after
noon was chilly and the wind blew hard from
the west, making it very difficult to judge fly
balls. Trick" MoSorley, of the Indianapolis
club of 1875, played third base for
tue visitors in good style, and two fine stops
and throws to first by McQuaid saved as many
base hits for the home club. Peoples and Nc
Keon carried off both the fielding and batting
honors, while such reliable players as Callahan,
Dorgan and Kerins made dismal errors.
Ihe two clubs will play again to-day ana to-
morrow, and much better games may be ex-
pected. 1t was evident that for some reason the
Peorias did not play up to their usual strength
yesterday. Following is

room in block on East Washington street, al
