Yankton Press: Captain Brooks, who
is always experimenting in the agricul-
tural line, has found, after a thorough
test, that the yellow locust of the Penn
sylvania mountains is the best of all
timber to grow in Dakota. He has a
thousand young trees in progress and
has sent for a supply of seed which he
will plant this summer. The yellow
locust attains height of fifteen feet in
two years. from seed. In seven years it
is large enough for fence posts, and for
this use it has no equal.

THE POWERS MURDER.

The murder of DR.. Powers in
Bear Valley IN September last,
which the Post recently made the
subject of special investigation,
will in al probability be brought
home to the perpetrators. One OF
the band of villains concerned in
the assassination has confessed,
and those whom he accuses have
so many friends and relatives
in San Benito county that, in order
to save him from Vengeance, be has
been taken for imprisonment to
San Jose. The confession reveals
a conspiracy as remarkable as it is
atroclous, and if the facts as stated
can be established in Court, every
one concerned in the firightfui
crime should be made to swing for
it. Alexander, the man who has
broken silence, charges that }. L.
prewett shot DR.. Powers from be-
hind as he was riding homeward,
and that the others hung the corpse
to tree to give the murder the APP
pearance of lynching. Prewett,
and those who are under arrest
with him, are men of property and
influence. Prewett himself is rich,
a leader in the church, and last
Fall missed being elected Sheriff
by but two votes. His position,
and that Of his confederates oaly
adds blackness to the awful crime
of which they are accused, and
their money and influence, let us
hope, will net be able to weaken
the hand of justice, ~.

MORNING APPEAL.
STEAD,s CONVICTION.

The Herald's London cable OF the
fifth says: The conspiracy OF 81
silence that Stead charged against
the press in the matter of his re
violations" is broken this morning,
and broken much to his dlsadvan-
tage. The Post alludes to his "e1-
nerience in the moral vivisection OF
HELPLESS girls" The Observer con-
cludes that the revelations are a
fabric of exaggeratlons resting on
testimony that is wholly unrellable.'
The Daily Telegraph attacks Stead
for his "baseless scare and unutter-
able pollution spread broadcast.
The Chronicle alludes to Mr..
Stead's CHASTITY harvest The
Daily News says: TO call these
things revelations is like confound-
ing the Apocalypse with the Apo
crapha." The Advertiser says:
Thus is shattered the pretense on
which Dir. Stead sought to deliver
the British virgin from the London
Minotaur.' The Times strongly
criticises the Bishop Of London,
the Archbishop of Canterbury and
Cardinals for the part they took
as foul slanderon London where
of we now have been acquitted.
The Standard draws picture OF
srotesque horror Of the fanatic ed
itor, masquerading as rake,
drinking in brothels and feigning
the unnatural passions of the faded
debauche.
The tone of the above newspa-
pers simply shows that the nobility
of England not only debauch the
virgins of Great Britain but prostl-
tute the press as we'll.
There was but one journal IN all
England which dared to cry halt
20 the titled libertines, and the rest
of the purchased and cowardly
sheets have torn Stead to pieces
like wolves, at the bidding of their
Infamous masters. There is not a
decent journalist in the United
States who had not rather be Stead
in prison than the miserable tools OF
the aristocraey who, on receiving
the price of their present course
have allied themselves with the
heartless PROGRESSES who, for a
consideration, will daily lay down
the innocence of English maidrn
hood upon the altar ola lust which
would disgrace the savages OF Al
RIGA. Stead saw a great wrong gong
on in England and sought to rem
edy it by exposing it. In order tt
prove his case completely, he hired
woman to abduct girl. and after
the abduction returned the girl III
violate. For this he was convicted
and will be sentenced to imprlson.
nent. while the scoundrels whose
horrible work has been exposed &C
unwhipped from justice.
If the English people can stand
this pervertion of justice, they
have indeed reached an unexpect
ed depth Of degradation.

O'ReilIy Acquitted of Young Pnuger's
Murder.

O'ReilIy Acquitted OF Young Pauger's
Murder.
When the Superior Court met yesterday
morning at 9 O'Clock, in pursuance to the
notice given Wien the recess was taken
on Friday, the trial of the case against
James UReilly, charged with the murder
Of young Phuger, was resumed.
When the recess was taken the preced-
ing afternoon only four jurors had been
impaneled, and a list Of l0l names had
been drawn from which it was proposed
u select the other eight jurors necessary
to complete the panel.
During the forenoon the work
OF making up the jury proceeded slowly
and lfty-fOur Of those summoned on the
last panel were excluded from service for
cause. OF this number were included
several who contributed money some time
ago TO aid in the prosecution OF the pris-
oner. Twenty-four were objected to by
counsel. OF this number ten were struck
by the State and fourteen by the defend
ant A number Of those summoned were
excused by the court.
About | O'Clock in the afternoon the
panel was completed after the list Of Dol
names had been about exhausted. The
following are the names Of the Jurors fin
ally sworn to try the case:
William II. Sexton, Richard IL. Turner,
Thomas Cannon, Thomas Mcfarland,
Henry 9. Courvolsie, Henry A. Berauc,
Robert +. Downing, Mason ID. Bridges,
John Burns, John j. Symes,
Thomas W. Logan, John II. KeOgh.
The material portion Of the testimony
introduced by the State was almost iden-
teal with that which was elected at the
former trial. The witnesses who testified
were John HOlig, AdOlph GOss, Police
man Spann, Peter OFT, W. r. O'Brien, the
colored woman Elsie Wright and Mr..
Fisher.
The defendant introduced no witnesses.
and the taking Of testimony vas c0nclud-
ed about 1870 O'Clock, when Col. r. Il.
Lester opened the case on the part of the
defense and was followed by Solicitor
General DuBignOn. At 20 O'CLOCK. when
the argument of the Solicitor General was
concluded, tue court took recess for 40
minutes. Upon reassembling at O'Clock
the room was crowded with spectators,
and a number in the lobby contented
themselves by hearing all that it was
possible for them 10 hear OF the proceed
ings.
Hon. P. w. Meldrim resumed the argu-
ment In behalf Of the prosecution after
the recess, and spoke about
an hour and a quarter. when the
case in behalf Of the prisoner was con-
cluded by Capt. George A. Mercer.
O'Reilly was brought into the court
room in charge OF the Sheriff, and sat most
Of the day with his lawyers. He appeared
entirely seli-possessed, and watched the
progress of the case with apparently a
deep interest.
At IL O'Clock the jury was charged
and retired to make verdict.
They were out about three-quarters of an
hour when word was sent back that a
verdict had been agreed upon. They
were brought into the court, and a YER
dict Of acquittal vas read.
O'Reilly was congratulated by a num-
Der OF his friends on the result of the
trial. He Immediately left the building,
and, entering carriage, was driven to
4 his home.

Supposed to Have Fallen Out OF a Boat
at Isle of Hope.

A double drowning occurred under
strange circumstances at Isle Of Hope a
short while past noon on Friday
Mary Jane Williams and Josephine
Stewart, two young colOred girls en-
ployed as nurses in the families of Mr.. j.
A. G.. Carson and Mir. f. w. Cubbedge,
respectively, were the victims. Every
day at high tide the girls were required
to go to the bath house and get bucket
Of salt water each with which to battle the
children. They were cautioned to always
enter the bath house, and not TO go down
the steps on the outside.
high water was about midday on Fri
day, and, as customary, the girls took their
buckets and went down to the bath
house. After they had been gone for
some time Mrs. Cubbedge went to look
for them. She found the empty
buckets standing. one on the platform and
the other on the steps inside
the bath house. The girls were
posed that they had gone of. At night,
when Messrs. Carson and Cubbedge re-
turned from the city, they were told that
the girls had disappeared.
Search was Instituted, but 1t
was hardly supposed that they
were drowned. The dwelling
is only 40 or so yards from the bath house.
Some fishermen had been within a stones
throw all of the afternoon, and others
We're not far away. No one had heard
any screams. W lille the search was being
prosecuted some one found a hat, which
was identified as having belonged to one
Of the nurses. A boat tied TO the bath
house was half filled with water. The
boat does not leak, aud these two incl
dents strengthen the theory Of drowning.
Yesterday morning search was renewed.
While the river was being
dragged the body of Josephine
Stewart rose to the surface. 1t was Sc
cured and Coroner Dixon was notified.
Before he arrived the hat of the other girl
was found some distance away.
The Coroner held an inquest during the
day and the jury found that it was case
of accidental drowning. Nothing TO sus-
tain any other theory, either Of suicide or
foul play, was adduCed. The superstition
is that both girls got into the boat and
that it careened and threw them out.
The body of the Williams girl was not
recovered yesterday. Both were from
Savannah. The one whose body was
found was 81 years old and the other was

THE ROUTE AGENTS.
Chief Clerk Mansfield Testing Their
Hfficienoy

All Of the postal railway clerks on the
Charleston and Jacksonville route are be-
ing examined for the purpose of ascer-
tanning their efficiency. Mr.. r. E. Mans
field, Chief Clerk of the Railway Mail Ser
vice of the Fourth Division, is conducting
the examination. One was held in jack
sonville last week, and another is TO be
held at Charleston this week.
There are sixteen clerks on this route.
Besides these the clerks in the service
throughout Florida were examined. All
OF the employees in each of the nine diVi-
sions are put through similar examina-
lions
Those on the Charleston and Jackson
Vile route are expected to know every
post office in South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. More than this, they must know
Just how 10 send a package from any
peint on their line to any post office in
these States. Some places have only
three mails a week ana others two. A
letter mailed in the morning Will 90 By
one route to certain points and at night
by an entirely different route. The
clerks are first put on for six
months. Daring this probationary
period they are required TO familiarize
themselves perfectly with the scheme
of railway mail service IN their sub divis-
ions. A long list of offices and schedules
must be memorIzed. Delayed mail can
generally be traced TO unframed clerks
who have not learned the many different
distributing points and the offices that are
served from each dis" as the distribute
ing offices are called.
