THE CASPER scHoEL.pon TRIAL.

We received a communication from Mr..
J. F. Houck, of Waco, Yesterday, referring
to our report Of the state against Casper
Schoelidon, charged with having committed
u rape on young girl Of that town, which
trial j, will be remembered was held in jus
tice Thomas court about week ago.
Mr.. Houck SAYS our city editor was a
little of in saying that about a dozen
young men came as voluntary witnesses for
the defendant. He states further that there
were but two witnesses for the defense from
that neighborhood and that they were legally
summoned.
Again, Mr.. Houck objects 10 our state
ment that the girls testimony Was conflict
ing and elected sundry mods and winks from
the young men present, who appeared 10
know her character.
In reference 10 these point. We are al
ways glad to be set right If We
are in error. Our reporter could
not be present during the whole trial and
might possibly be little of in some points.
In regard TO some young men being yolun-
tary witnesses for the defendant, We had
that from person who ought to know.
Our reporter heard the girls testimony and
could pick out several conflicting points IN
| If and if he had been an attorney for the de-
PENDANT thinks that he could tear it up pref
ty badly. Again our representative has had
considerable experience in watching the
appearance and actions of lockers on, wit
nesses, jury, lawyers and all concerned in
criminal cases and very little escapes his no.
tice. He distinctly saw the mods, and winks
mentioned, and was informed that the young
men knew all the parties to the case, in fact
two or three young men present told him
so. Upon the girl own testimony, the
statements ofthese young men and court
official, our reporter based the statement to
which Mr. Houck objects. That gentleman
further states that no young man in that
community could be found to say aught
against the girls character. Perhaps not,
but her testimony aud demeanor on the
| witness stand made a bad impression on
MANY present who are accustomed TO hear
| ing testimony.

The Beacon refers 10 the grievances of re-
porters on daily papers and the lecture by a
reporter of the EAGLE. That lecture WAS
written by the old man himself, who seldom
attend. an entertainment of any character,
but who knows what Is due a daily paper
and its readers. The managers OF public
entertainments show no hesitancy in solicit
ing rratuitous advertisements and a good
word besides, but when If comes to afording
facilities to newspaper representative for
obtaining facts which will interest readers,
MANY Of them are churlish if not something
worse. Private entertainers are some
times little better in this respect All that
the EAGIE desires is courteous treatment and
a disposition shown TO forward the work in
hand. And il may as well be understood
now as hereafter, when this paper goes to
the trouble and expense of having reporter
present and he is not accorded the courtesy
due the paper and its readers, such persons
or organizations will be asked nor given any
odds. So FAR as private and home entertain
ment. are concerned, the EAGLE force Is
composed of gentlemen who will not lntrude
when not wanted and will write nothing not
entirely Agreeable to sll parties concerned

Acquitted.

CARLISLE, Pa, September 2.-The
trial of Daniel Clever for the killing
of William Martin at Oakville, this
county, last May, ended to-day with
verdict of acquittal. The case was
in the jury's hands less than two
hours, and when the verdict was an
nounced in the court house a tumul-
tuous scene followed. The relatives
and friends of the accused rushed
upon him and hugged and kissed
him for Joy, and the spectators ap-
plauded long and loud. The provo
cation for the shooting was the sup
posed seduction of Clever's wife by
young Martin. Clever suspected un-
due intimacy between the two, and
one evening when she was visiting
friends it was found that Martin was
also away. Clever, acting upon his
suspicious, went to where his wife
was visiting and found her and Mar
tin in a room together by themselves.
He broke down the door, and Martin
ran out, Clever shooting after him
several times as he ran. Martin was
hit twice and died the second day af-
ter the shooting. He was but 20
years of age, while Clever was 81.
Great interest," was felt in the case
throughout the whole county, and
the court house was crowded during
each of the FIVE days of the trial.

The Work OF Tramps.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept. 3.-The
Journals st. Joseph, Mo, special
says: "A gang of seven tramps ear
ly yesterday morning took possession
of the south bound freight train on
the Kansas City and st. Joe and
Council Bluffs road at Lake Station,
FIVE miles south of this city, and held
it about three hours. The train was
on side track, aud, when an attempt
was made to go ahead, it was found
that the switch had been closed, the
work of tramps, who had been expell-
ed from the cars few minutes be-
fore. Trainmen undertook to open
the switch, but were driven away by
tramps, who fired number of shots
at them. No one was injured and
the trainmeu succeeded in capturing
two of the tramps, who were impris-
oned here to-day. One gave the
name of Tom O'Bried. the other Mike
Slattery. The f4mer had fine gold
watch, with the name of A. w. Jones
engraved on the case.

Cinnamon, there were some six hun
dred in that community. They had
been ordered to leave within an hour
of a certain time, this they agreed to
do, and started to pack up. but in
about half an hour the white men
grew impatient and advanced upon
the Chinese quarters, shouting and
firing their guns into the air. With
out offering resistance the Chinese
fed with whatever they could snatch
up. They fed to the hills about a
mile east of town, the miners firing
at them as they fed. The Governor
of Wyoming Territory called on Pres
ident Cleveland for troops to put
down the war on the Chinese.

For Two Cents.

A Silver dollar weighs very nearly
an ounce. Hence any letter not heav.
ier than the dollar can go Tor a single
two cent stamp. This is easily re
membered. If you want to be more
exact, take a silver dollar and a silver
6ve-cent piece, and you have an ounce
almost TO feathers weight. Provid-
ed you havn't the silver dollar handy
use two halves, or if you have nickles
only five of them and small copper
cent will give you nearly the ounce.
As ninety nine listers out of one hum
dred will fail within the ounce
weight, this simple system of weigh
ing will serve for general use. 1t is
the result of some tests made by
Chief Clerk Woodhouse of the New
York postoffice.-Ex.

The Old Story.

HARRIsBURG, September 2.-Iohn
Z. Kicker, Dauphin county farmer,
was recently relieved of one thousand
dollars. Two men, who registered
their names as d. ID. Foster, OF Bos-
ton, and d. Y. Davis, of Philadelphia,
informed Kicker of desire to Craze
sheep on his farm. While negotiat-
ing with him they told him they had
e scheme by which he might make
two thousand dollars out of an in
vestment of one thousand dollars.
The unsuspecting farmer, in conpa-
ny with one of the men, came to this
city and took one thousand dollars
out of a bank. At secluded spot
the other man joined them and in a
few moments Foster and Davis com
PEELED Ricker to deliver his money to
them. They made their escape hur
riedly and now one hundred dollars
reward is offered for their arrest.
