Excitement Among Ohio Germans.

CINCINNATI, Mar. s.-senator Dexter's bill
cutting off the study of German in the public
schools has created nearly as much excitement
among the Germans of Ohio as Smith Sunday

the legislation is premature, as the German
influence is strong enough to keep the lam
guage in the curriculum for years to come.
A monster. German mass meeting will be held
here tomorrow eyening to show indignation

LICKED HIS LAWYER.
Mr.. Dorsey Pounds Mr.. LIIley for Using
Offensive Language.


Mr.. Dorsey, Of star route fame, and Mr.
Lilley, one of his counsel in the first trial.
have had q misunderstanding, and the dis
agreement is so radical that words have failed
to express tho views of either, and more ex-
pressive and forcible arguments have been
resorted to- Speaking after the manner of
men they have had a row and Mr.. Lilley has
been licked. The mill-still speaking after
the manner of men-was very private one
and it has not been possible to ascertain all
the details. It's clear, however, chat Mr.. Lilley
got much the worst of 1t, since a reporter
who called yesterday to see him about the
matter was not able to obtain an interview,
but he learned that he was under the care Of
doctor. Mr. Dorsey does not seem to be
much the worse for the scrap another
worldly technicality-and on yesterday gave
a reporter enough Of the details to show that
Mr.. Lilley called at his house, and while
there used very insulting language, which he
resented so far as to kick him out.
Mr.. Dorsey says Lilley rather forced HIM
self upon him as counsel in the first trial, urg-
ing that he knew a great deal about the case,
and that lie would be Of inestimable service to
his other attorneys in the trial. He accord
ingly agreed to give him 81, 900 for whatever
service he might render, and paid him that
amount.
"In the early days of the present trial he
came to me and said that in 1879 Rerdell had
promised to pay him fee of $3.50 in the Jen-
nings case. / told him that Rerdell had no
authority to employ an attorney for me, and
that If paid him anything at all it would
be simply to rid myself Of an annoyance.
then gave him a check for Sl25 as payment in
full of any possible or contingent claims he
had.
"He came to my house the other day, and
in most impudent manner demanded $500,
and did it with a perfect knowledge that
did not owe him cent and never did. His
language was infamous and insulting. He
repeated over and over again words that no
gentleman in the world would or could en-
dure for a moment. My answer to his Ian
guage was to kick him out of my house."
