Under the act OF the last legislature Gre

commence on the 4th day OF March next.
The reason for not holding the terms six
months apart was that the citizens Of this
county, generally cittlcmen, are busy dur
ing the spring and summer months and
have not the time to devote to court. Judge
Sluss has already held court in Butler coun-

Clean finally becoming enraged by the
boots and jeers OF the spectators
picked up base ball bat
and hurled it into the crowded
seats on the first base side of the field,
striking man on the head without seri-
Ously njuring him. This action called
forth vigorous Kissing from the assem-
blage, and three or four hundred men,
who were among those near where the
bat was thrown, leaped over the inside
enclosure, and were crOWding toward
MCLEAN with the Intention Of mObbing
him, when they were stopped by num-
Der of police officers, who, with the play
ers, finally succeeded in getting the men
back of the line. The game, which had
been stopped, then proceeded to the
finish, when the excited crowd again made
a rush for MCLEAN, and was only pre-
vented by the arrest of MCLEAN upon a
warrant, sworn out by the man who was
struck. Mclean was taken before a
Magistrate, but the complainant was
there induced to withdraw the charge,

EUROPE AND EGYPT.
The Conference Still Under Discussion
Mr.. O'Kelly Defended.

Mr.. O'KellY Defended.
LONDON, April 2S.-A dispatch from
Berber reports that four brigades of Bashi
Bazouks and 500 infantry have joined the
rebels.
The Cologne Gazette says that Premier
Ferry will demand binding pledges of
England to renOunce the idea of annexing
or establishing a prOtectOrate over Egypt,
and that if England refuses to give pledges
France will abstain from the Egyptian
conference.
Italy agrees to the Egyptian conference
IN the general terms of the invitation
sent out by England. Russia is expected
simply TO announce its assent. AustrO-
Hungary, it is expected will ask that the
conference be limited to a discussion of
the financial question. The Porte urges
that the conference be held at Constan-
tinOple.
The "blue book" of correspondence con-
cernlng Egypt has Just been issued. From
this it appears that in September, 1879,
the Marquis of Salisbury. at that time
English Foreign Secretary, agreed with
NJ. WaddingtOn, the French Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, that France and England
would earnestly support the native Egyp-
tian Government, but would inform the
khedive that they could not allow anv
European power to establish political in
huence in Egypt in competition with Eng
land and France.
PARIS, April 2S.-ROchefort, writing in
DIntrdRSiQedm regarding the reported
arrest in Egypt Of James X. O'Kelly. the
well-known newspaper correspondent,
says: "Mr. Okelly, before starting for
SOudan as a correspondent of the New
ork Herald, obtained permission to cross
the lines OfbOth Egyptians and SOudanese.
in order to exercise his duties as a news
paper correspondent. MY eldest son,
who accompanied him as correspondent
of La France and L'IRtrdRSigedRt, was
also furnished with credentials. The Eng
llsh Government at Cairo, however, in
order to prevent an exposure of the dIsas-
trOus situation on the Nile stopped the
two men and forbade their proceeding"
M. ROchefOFt then suggests that the let
ters found in Mr.. O'Kelly's baggage ad-
dressed to El Mahdi were only his creden-
tials as newspaper correspondent
CAIRO, April 2S.-The recent report Of
the surrender of Berber was premature.
The British agent at Berber telegraphed
to-day that the position Of the town was
desperate, but he did not mention
surrender. Subsequently, however. he
announced that all the troops
were leaving the town, and
that the rebels were entering the houses
in the outskirts. The agent has left Ber-
Der for Korosko. The Egyptian officers at
Assouan have received letters from El
MahdPs Lieutenant, ordering them to
quit the town within ten days, and warn
ing them that if they don't do so, they
will be annihilated.
LONDON, April 20, A. M.-Advices
from Berber state that IIussein Pasha has
proclaimed the evacuation of the town.
The inhabitants have fed, and the troops
have marched out to join the rebels.
LONDON, April 30, 2:30 A. MA tele-
gram from Berber says: sit is impossible
to communicate with Gen. Gordon. The
whole country is in rebellion. The tribes
threaten Berber and every one is starting
for Cairo"

MACON, Ga, April 2S.-Bibb Superior
Court convened to-day. Judge Simmons
delivered an able and sweeping charge to
the grand jury. He strongly characterized
the jury system as defective where each
fire and military company was allowed
twenty-five exemptions, and dentists and
others excused from jury service. He
desired some legislative reform in this
matter. Truth and justice demanded it.
He also deplored the chain-gang
system in vogue in this county.

year in the city and part in

gang kept entirely in the country. This
plan would check Generalization and in

Terrible Death of an Old Man-His Own
son Among Those Suspected.
DEsMOINEs, April 2S.-Information
has been received here of the brutal mur-
der of Hiram Jefferson, near Audubon,
in this State. Jefferson was sixty-fiye
years of age and lived with his wife on a
farm. Saturday night four men entered
their bedroom, dragged them from
bed and pulled the old mans hair and
whiskers out by the roots. They then
wrapped his shirt about his head, dragged
him, naked, to a tree, and hanged him.
Mrs. Jefferson came to the door and tried
to alarm the nelghbOrs, nearest of whom
lived about four hundred Yards
away, but the murderers, who had
finished their work and started to
ride away, prevented her by threatening
to hang her also. There is no clue to the
perpetrators of the crime, as the night
was too dark for Mrs. Jefferson to distin-
guish their features. There are strong
suspicious that some OF his family are
mixed up in the murder. His daughters
husband, John Smythe, hard character,
is freely charged with the crime. 1t is
also supposed that the old mans own son,
Cicero, Is one of the party who did the
hanging.
DEsMOINEs, IA, April 2S, 1880 P. NJ
An Audubon special says: 1.-The murder
ers of old man Jefferson have been cap
tured. They are JnO. A. Smythe and Joel
j. Wilson, his sOn-in-law, and Cicero Jel-
lerson, his son. This morning they were
brought up for examination, and Wilson
and Smgthe waived examination and were
remanded until Wednesday, but Cicero
became cOnscience-stricken and asked to
make a statement under oath. He then
made full confession, duplicating the
other two men,

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The six DAYS
walking match is a success, and the high
est antIcipations of the conductors of the
affair have been much more than realized.
The great crowd that assembled last
night in the Garden did not begin to thin
out until O'clock this morning. The
number OF people who were in the bnild-
ing between s o'clock at night and 9
O'Clock in the morning is estimated at
about $4,000. In the first lap of the
9th mile Noremac disappeared
temporarily and thereby lost the lead.
Herty went to the front with Rowell on
his heels. When NOremac returned to
the track he was six miles behind Rowell.
Herty went indoors and then Rowell be-
came the leader. On the fifty-eight mile

RoWell, and before the siXtieth mile was
reached ne was five miles ahead of R0well

and took position among the bunch of

man who has come to stay. ROwell, Fitz-

portion of the forenoon. Day keeps up a
continual easy trot and ROwell dogs him
around the track. The latter says that he
is going to win this race if he has to be
carried off the track at its close.
In the afternoon the Indian appeared
to have recovered from his stiffness and
covered the OrOund in UOO6 txrIa Ho

ST. LOUIS, April 2S.-It was announced
this afternoon that Moses Fraley, a promi-
nent grain and stock speculator of this
city, had failed for a large amount. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Fraley was short about
100000 bushels of wheat and corn in
Chicago, and that his losses on this will
be upwards of 100000. He is also said
to be short of a large amount of wheat in
New York, and it is reported that he lost
$4,000 in Union and Texas Pacific stock.
Mr.. Fraley is President of the Fraley.

is in no wise interested in this affair, Mr..

was known as a successful business man.
and was something of a figure i'm local

friends that he made some 100000 on
wheat and corn during the last big break

there has been a combination formed
against him which was too strong for him.

Banker Walsh to he Proven a Black
mailer and FOrger.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Ex-Se
Kellogg is defiant and confident. He
enters his trial upon the charge of con-
spiracy in the star route matters in the
firm belief that he will not only be ac-
quilted, but that he will prove John A.
Walsh, the principal witness against him,
to be a perjurer and blackmailer. To
night he was in conversation with Judge
Jere Wilson, his principal attorney, at
Wizards Hotel. Judge Wilson stated to
the News correspondent that he was
willing that Mr.. Walsh, and everybody
else, should put in evidence and in the
public print every check and draft of let
ters ever written by Mr., KellOgg's hand
or dIctation, and that they feared
nothing that Walsh could say or pro-
duce in document. Mr.. Walsh claims
to have a letter written by Mr.. Kellogg,
directing him how to dispose of certain
moneys raised from postal drafts. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Kellogg will prove
by Gen. Brady and others who were
prominent in the campaign of 1880 that that
money was collected from the star route
contractors for political purposes, and
that it was disbursed through the cam
paign committee and had nothing what
ever to do with bribes or star route con-
tracts. Any other letter, Mr.. Kellogg
says, is a forgery.
