LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.
A Decision Rendered Averse to the
United States.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 11.-In the case of
the United States vs. S. b. Mason, involving
the individual right to send lottery tickets
through the mails by the purchaser, Judge
Hughes had decided against the United
States. The facts were as follows: Mason
purchased ticket which drew prize, and
assuming fictitious name, wrote TO the
agent of the lottery company. This letter,
under Postmaster General Gresham's recent
order. was sent to the Dead-Letter Office
in Washington, to which point it was traced
by the United States Inspector and opened,
and by correspondence with the fictitious
writer of the letter Mason's identity was es-
tablished. Subsequently the letter was pre-
sented to the Grand Jury at Richmond and
Mason was indicted. The case was presented
for trial with the results stated. The court
held that Mason, who was not an agent or
vender for the lottery, had perfect right to
use the mails, This case Is unique In the
fact that for the first time III the history of
the government the sanctity of the mails was
violated by opening letter. upon which was
based solely the indictment against Mason.

The METHODISTS.
Celebrating Their Centennial Con-
ference.

ference.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 11.--Bishop Alpheus w.
Wilson, of Maryland, M. K. Church, south,
occupied the chair at this mornings session
of the Methodist Centennial Conference.
large assemblage of spectators listened to the
proceedings, which began at $3.50 o'clock.
Rev. A. S. Hunt, of the American Bible So
ciety, led the prayer. Rev. j. Hill offered a
resolution calling for great temperance
demonstration during the sitting of the
council: referred. Rev. c. b. Galloway pre-
sented a resolution that the gates of the New
Orleans exposition should be closed on SUM-
days. The special order at 1870 was a re-
view of the Superintendency of Asbury, and
what 1T did for Methodism. An essay on the
subject was read by Col. w. S. Thompson,
for the venerable DIR. Boring; a paper was
also read on the relations of Wesley to
American Methodism, and general discussion
followed.
In his essay DIR. Boring said the Methodists
of America could never fully appreciate the
great work of Asbury in this country. He
had to labor against prejudices, hardships
and the evils that beset the pioneer, but he
pressed nobly forward and the result of his
labors had grown to the gigantic proportions
we see around us to-day. Asbury believed
the Lord had commissioned him, and fired
with the zeal which the love of truth and de-
sire to save souls begets, he evinced that
heroism which knows no failure.
At o'clock p. IN. the conference took a
recess until 3 p. m.

The Strike Not Ended.

PrTTsBURo, Dec. lin denial of the fail
ure of the Hooking Valley strike, Secretary
Flannery, of the Pittsburg Miners Associa-
ton, has submitted the following letter from
the correspondent in New Straightsville,
Ohio. The letter says: use every effort to
check the false rumors circulated by our
enemies to the effect that the lockout is
over, as such reports are gotten up to cut off
our supplies. Our miners are still firm and
determined to succeed. Much distress pre-
walls among US, but am happy to say that
encouraging reports are being received from
almost every source

JAcKsoN.s MURDER CASE.


JACKSON, Mich, Dec. ll.--This morning
Judge Gridley asked for and was handed
a list of the papers in Witness Aliens posses-
sion which were dug up in the glass jar by
Detective" Gum, Henry Holeomb, ct al.
II. A. Smith, of Eaton Rapids. sworn: At
the time OF the death of Jacob Crouch, wit
ness said he owed Crouch several hundred
dollars on note. After the murders Dan
HoleoEnb had the note, and wrote and said
80. Witness had not seen II lately. Five
hundred was due on this note.
Turnkey Evans testified that he was pres
ent when the Lansing pistol dealer called at
the Jail here to see HolcoGb. bat couldn't
remember H0lcomb. and the books showtd
no sale al the time Dan claimed he bought
the weapon; the pistol might have been sold
aud overlooked.
Joseph Allen was recalled, and Attorney
Frazer, of the defense, took occasion TO say
the prosecution had all the papers that were
ia the Holcomb house, and none of them
could have been in Hoicomb's possession be-
fore they were in the bottle. Also that Hol-
comb took them from the Crouch house
himself. Barkworth and Frazer got into
hot wrangle, and as they were sputterlng at
each other the Judge said he did not think
Witness Allen could give testimony about
what was in the bottle, but subsequently
allowed the counsel to discuss the question
about the papers.
Allen left the stand and Sheriff Winney
was put ON and produced the glass jar con-
tanning the papers when they were dug mp.
The court WAS looking at these when the II
O'Clock adjournment came. The papers
which Henry Holcomb tried to put ON to
Harrington while he (Harrington) was in
Jail in Mason cannot be found now. There
were half dozen of them.
JACKSON. Mich, Dec. 11.-At Holcomb's
trial the principal part of to-day was spent
in arguments on the admlssibility of Joseph
Aliens testimony as to whether any papers
found on Allen had come from the Crouch
house and were taken by Holcomb the day
after the murder. Harrington was recalled,
and testified to fay's showing 3S-calibre
revolver when he wanted the Job done. j.
O. Smith swore that Crouch had the witness
note for $500. Hoicomb had the note after
the murder. Turnkey Evans said that Hol
comb sent for the man of whom he claimed
to have bought the revolver in Lansing. The
man did not remember Holcomb, and said
his book did not show the sale. Alexander
Brown said he was at the Crouch house when
Holcomb, Foy and Judd were there. Foy
had a letter, and Hocomb said: "Foy, burn
that letter; if detectives get hold of that
they will send you to States prison, and we
can't save you. You may be innocent as
bird: but now. Jim, if you know anything
about it tell us. Do you know who did it!''
Foy waited while, but finally said:
II know nothing" This was about
a month after the tragedy. The court
did not decide as to the relevancy
of Aliens testimony about the papers.

Afternoon Session.

SttSfnOOU OcSSiOHs
Judge Marston occupied nearly an hour in
presenting his argument, demanding that
the testimony referring to the chemical
analysis be stricken out, and cited decisions
at some length, representing them to be
analogous to the case in question. He was
followed by Mr.. Mitchell, who consumed
some time in demonstrating that the testi-
mony was competent. The Court took re-
cess for ten minutes, at the expiration of
which Judge Montgomery decided that the
evidence embracing the analysis was admis-
sable. Susan Bell was again recalled and
continued her testimony.
Susan Bell, recalled-Found her so she
was able to converse freely: she was in bed:

pearance between the first time visited her

band was in the room with her when ar

other talk about her condition, mainly 10 the
point that she was better. and that she had
taken no medicine the night before: she
drank cup of tea while was present; her
sister-in-law gave it to her; she complained
of having female weakness: she asked me

her body; she was terribly drawn up: she lay
on her left side. and asked mn tt hold her
down on the bed: her hands we're drawn up,
also her knees: she would jerk for while
and lie still for a few moments, until the
spell came on again: asked me TO put hot
clothes on her: did so: put a hot towel on
her stomach; the medicine administered was
of cream color: il was given IN a capsule;
had been there nearly an hour: had a spell
about twenty minutes after the medicine
was given: fbourht that her limbs were

Twenty Democrats Who DisbeIieve
What He Says.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-"Do not connect
my name with the statement" said lead
ing Southern Senator, sbut you can say posi-
lively that Mr.. Bayard has been offered the
place of Secretary of State in Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet. Mr.. Bayard's visit to Albany
last Sunday was in response to letter of in
vitation from Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is an open
secret among a number of Senators that tho
purpose of the invitation was personal op-
portunity to tender a cabinet place to Bay
ard. OF course Senator Bayard cannot ac-
knowledge the truth of this at this early day;
but. depend on it. he now has the tender un-
der consideration. Ii Is not unlikely that he
will be the successor of Secretary Freling-
huysen." At least twenty leading Demo-
Gratis IN Congress we're asked their opinion
about the matter. All agreed that though
Senator Bayard denies it, he has been offer
ed 4 cabinet position.
