Master Masons' association was held at the
builders exchange Tuesday to discuss the
question of sending delegate to the Boston
convention and to take some action to effect
combination Of the masters of the building

pronounced untrue by leading members of

tiou of things return to ten hours was pro-
nounced impossible.

NEW York, Dec. 27.-Late Friday night
Mrs. Augusta Marsten, aged 81, and her in
FAINT child Gertie, aged ~ months, were
found dead in bed at their residence, 2le
East One Hundred and Nineteenth street.
An investigation by the police showed be-
yond doubt that the woman had committed
suicide by shooting herself in the breast, and
as the gas was found turned on in the room,
the police believe that the child died from
suffocation. The woman is said to have
been nurse. Temporary insanity caused
by domestic troubles is believed to have been

Harrington says: "By this act of miserable
weakness, miscalled patriotism, Lord Sails

not strange that many Conservatives are
puzzled and indignant at the feebleness Of

JUDGE SLOAN ON MODS.
HE BELIEVES IN NO DALLIANcE WITH

Some Vigorous Views Expressed at the
Trial of the Riotsrs at Bay VIew-De-
| velOpment Among knights of Labor of a
Hsnkering for Powderly's Scalp-The
Record OF Strikes.
| MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 27.-There was
but short session Of court in the Bay View
riot cases Friday. But it was sufficient for
the state to rest its case and to include quite
a sensational scene. The testimony of Mayor
Walhber and others was taken, and then a
controversy took place between Judge Slaon
and the counsel for the defense as to whether
the gathering of mon at the Bay View mills
was an unlawful asSemblage. The court said
the evidence already presented showed the
character of the assemblage, and he would
permit the defense to call six witnesses to
prove the contrary, but could not say that
their testimony would change his views on
the subject. Mr.. Murphy, of the defense,
said:
81 have not intended to question that there
was a riot out there; but what have ques-
toned, and what distinctly question now,
in the face Of the court and all courts, is the
legality Of the homicides that were commit
ted out there by the police"
The Court shall tell the jury that the
ques tion of whether the military had right
a right to fire, whether they were justitiable
or not, is not for them. The question only is
as to the riot and who participated in it.
My own Judgment is that the sheriff and
governor did-the sheriff especially-aot with
great moderation and great care. He said,
in answer to your question, he did not call
upon the governor, and refused to do it, the
Aa1r- h<,s
power at his command, he could keep these
people under control; that it grew so much
worse he made a formal demand upon the
governor, as it was his duty to do, reluc-
family, but he did it, The governor came
here, and, think, did his whole duty.
Mr.. Murphy-More too.
The Court don't think he did. l think
it would have been mercy, not only to
those persons, but everybody else, if the
Kosciusko guards the first day, instead Of fir
ing into the air, had fred into the crowd
1t is severe remedy-a deplorable thing to
happen in any country; but it is. like some of
the operations Of surgery-prompt and severe
OF first, but saves a world of trouble and
suffering afterward. But this is a matter
outside.
Mr.. Ebbets-That is true, and perhaps on
that day, under the law, they would have
been justified in shooting, because the sheriff
himself ordered the crowd to disperse On
the second day don't understand anything
of the kind was DONE
The Court-That was not necessary. Proc
lamations had been issued by the mayor, the
military called in from the country, and the
whole available force of the police and mill
tary in the city had been in use before. The
mob was trying to create a disturbance to
put it mildly. The authorities interfered,
and the severer the measures the better it
was for them.
Mr. Ebbets-All we have got to do is to
show that these defendants had nothing to do
with it.
The Court-That is it, sir.

A Mean Trick.

Last Tuesday night Judge J. A. Marshall, whose ranch IS some nine miles from town, and who had come in to attend the election, tied the mule he was riding to post in front of Kilpatrick's store. About nine o'clock that night, intending to re- turn home, he found that some cow ardly miscreant had cut the hitching strap, and the mule was gone, Naturally thinking that, if not stolen, the mule had gone home, he borrow ed another riding animal and wen, there to find him, and spent the whole day visiting the neighboring ranches without success, and finally about dark returned to town. When reiat ing the circu instances to some friends he was informed that his mule had been seen quietly grazing in Brlnnen' , pasture. The Judge went there and found the animal, bridled and saddl ed, just aS he was leit, with the ex ception of the cut strap. Thus quiet
 peaceable citizen lost a whole day O valuable time, and suffered much hardship and worriment of body anc mind, to gratiiy the destructive in stincts of some low, covlrdiy beast in human shape. There arc few suct in this town, and they arc marked, and, if caught in any intraction oi
 the law, they should be punished tc it's extremity, else the citizens, vii take the matter in hand and deal with them bodily.

 Therc will be some rare sport at Williams next Wednesday commenc. ing at 10 o'clock in the morning. There will be race between Pitman's grey horse "S:l,m" and Harris bay horse "BllI," both noted for their speed, for a purse of$5oo, and smother between John Sees httle bly horse "Brownie" and Pitman's "S:lin" for aSIoo purse, to be followed by bronco riding and cock fighting. To grace the days festivities there will be a grand ball at the hall ia the evening. The good people of Will llams extend a general invitation 10 all. N
 The spirit of innocent mischief, which holds high revelry on All Hal! low Eve, ran riot last Sunday night, when, instead of devoting its atten. tion to forlorn maidens and distract. ed lovers, bobbiug for apples and changing signs and gates, it possessed some of our over exuberant youths, and induced them to upset water barrels, which necessarily stand out doors. This was going too far, boys. Or course you dld not think ot the great inconvenience 1t caus:d house. keepers next morning when they found their blrrels. empty, and the unfortunate predicament VIC all would have been in had a fire started. Don't do it again.
 The election, aside from the i'm portance of the territorial and county offices to be filled, was doubly ex . citing and interesting to our people from the fact that there were two Justices of the Peace and two Con- stables of this precinct to be elected, while there were seven candidates m the field for the former and eigh, for the latter. The day was perfect, and the crowds of people on 'he streets who mad come in from the adjJihing country to vote or to influence others, the rushing about of candidates and their henchnen with hands full of tickets, and the racing to and from the polls of the wagons filled With noisy and enthusiastic supporters made lively scene. We are proud to say, that thou gh there was con siderable earnest excitement yet not m a single instance was there breach of the peace. The rival candidates for Sheriff evidently considered Flag staff the most important precinct in the county, for they spent the entir, day here. We give in this issue th' result complete of the town election and such other returns as we ca; gather from the telegraph, mall anc )ur exchanges.
