SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 22.-The case of the
State against Mrs Emma Molloy, the noted
evangelist and temperance reformer, terminated
in the Circuit Court here to-day, at least for the
present term, Judge Geiger sustaining the mo-
tions previously filed and argued to quash both

to the murder of Sarah Graham, and the other
as accessory before the fact to the bigamous mar
riage of George E. Graham and Cora E. Lee.
After the decision, Prosecuting Attorney Patter
son filed information with the court that there is
reasonable grounds for believing that conviction
will be had if new indictments be f2und. and the
court held the defendant in bonds of $500 and
$500 to answer such indictments as may be found
against Der. Cora E. Lee, indicted for murder
in the first degree, is still in Jail at Bolivar. not
having, as yet, come to trial.

THE MARTHUR WILL.
a Decision That Imposes Decided Hardships
on the Present Owners of the Lands.

CINCINNATI, June 22-The Circuit Court Of
day decided the Macarthur will case and gave
directions for final decree. The case involves
about fifteen thousand acres of valuable i'm
proved land, lying principally in Ross and Pick
sway counties, Ohio. Duncan Macarthur, who
was Governor of Ohio in 1880, died in 1889,
leaving all the lands to executors and
trustees, to bo divided among his grandchildren
when the youngest became of age. Immediately
after his death the children thus disinherited in
stituted suit in the Court of Common Pleas of
Ross county to set aside the will, and decree to
that effect was entered The present case was
brought by the grandchildren tos aside that de-
eree Upon former appeal to the United States
Supreme Court, that body decided that the
suit to set aside the will did not
bind grandchildren who were afterwards
born, but that they were entitled
TO the share provided for them in their grand
fathers will. The decree ordered by Judge
jackson to-day is in conformity with this rul-
Ing of the Supreme Court. There were twenty
four grandchildren; six of them were parties to
Ihe suit setting aside the will, and they, the
court holds, are bound by that proceeding but
the other eighteen and their heirs are given their
proper shares In the real estate involved.
This real estate is largely in possession of per
sons who bought it OF the heirs after
the viii was set aside. The court holds that
these holders of the land are accountable for the
rents and profits since the commencement of the
present suit, but that they are not entitled to
any allowance for improvements which-they had
made upon the land prior to that time the rents
which they had received prior to that time being
considered by the court as a sufficient Offset to
their claim for improvements. The decree for
partition is ordered and commissioners were
appointed to set off each grandchild's share in
the land.

A WHITE HOUSE INCIDENT.
Outrageous Conduct of Visitors Who Pay
Their Calls in Carriages.

Outrageous Conduct of Visitors Who Pay
Their Calls in Carriages
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June % 2--Occasionally one sees
an exhibition of the almost universal inclination
of the aristocracy to run over the common
herd" here, which is very trying and almost ex
asperating. An instance is related as occurring
at the last public reception of the President.
Every arrangement was made by the chief ex-
ecutive for the accommodation and enjoyment Of
those in humble as we'll as high positions in life:
but some OF the latter were very presumptuous.
A few minutes before the doors of the White
House were opened for the influx of the crowd
ing multitude of humanity a carriage dashed mp
to the gate through which the immense column
of people were directed to enter the executive
mansions grounds. The gateway was jammed
full Of people; but that made no difference to the
snobs inside the carriage, nor to the ackeys who
sat on it's box Finding the way estopped, the
driver reined up for moment. when one of the
snobs inside put his head out of the carriage
door and told the driver to drive on.
but the way is filled with people" replied the
driver
Don't mind the people; drive on" cried the
snobs, in chorus
The whip was applied gently, and the horses
moved a few steps, then stopped
"Drive on!" yelled the snobs; drive over the
people if they don't get out of the way
With great difficulty the driver managed to
execute his order, but the mass of humanity was
so dense the carriage was soon at stand-still
Then the driver began to ply his whip on the
shoulders of the people, and finally struck
woman who was in the line. Quite number Of
men witnessed the dastardly outrage, aud their
indignation would have led them to castigate tho
occupants of the carriage had the occasion been
almost any other, each one in line was accom-
panied by lady It has not yet been ascertained
who the persons in the carriage were. This kind
of proceeding is not as usual as once it was in
this city, although number Of people who az
tend receptions in carriages labor under the
delusion that they better and have more
rights than those who walk. Most Of the snobs
who resort to such methods this to impress
their alleged Importance are foreign legation

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June ga feeling Of great
uncertainty shown in the House this morn
ing among the free-traders as to what Mr.. Nor
rison would do in regard to his motion to take
up his tariff bill. The caucus of last night had
not arrived at any conclusion, and had not left a
very satisfactory taste in their mouths. They
had been dragged to the Capitol and made to sit
there FOR q couple Of hours and hear few unin-
teresting tariff speeches which were not per-
mitted to be made on the floor in open session.
Mr.. Morrison was far from satisfied with his last
nights work. He thought that the caucus, or
the call for one, would so scare the
Democratic protectionists that they would rush
pell nell to the Capitol and ask forgiveness and
come in; but not one thought of such thing,
and hence Mr. Morrison arose to-day and con-
fessed before the world that he was beaten in
the tariff fight and would not make the motion.
The talk, therefore, to-day was what Mr.. Ran
dali proposed doing The rumor that he had a
tariff bill ready was confirmed by his saying that
it was being copied. 1t proposes repeal of the
internal revenue tax on tobacco, revision Of the
revenue schedules on Spirits substitution OF spe-
cific for advalorem duties silks laces, embroid-
cries and kid gloves; the principal provisions
Of the Hewitt administration BILL placing rough
lumber upon tie free list. and revision Of the
metal schedules It was thought that DIR. Ran
dali would offer this bill to-day, but he does not
propose to subject himself to defeat. 1t is
said by prominent protectionist that Mr.. Ran
dali will reserve his bill until Morrison attempts
to offer mis-, and if he Does it will be taken up
and substituted. Randall may wait till the last
six days of this session, and then try to get it
considered under the two thirds rule, and passed
without debate.
Morrison's failure to come to time has again
revived speculation as to adjournment. 1t is
said now that as the tariff is out Of the way. an
adjournment can be reached by the 10th of July,
certainly by tho 18th. The sundry civil appro-
priation will go through the House by Saturday
The Senate will pass the naval, sundry civil,
and legislative bills in that time The House
will not consume time over the two other appro-
priation bills, the Notifications, and the urgent
deficiency and so, with these out of the way.
nothing remains but adjournment. and this
ought to be made at once

vention. The objection was brought before the

the operators refuse to pay the scale asked, hold
ing that the matter was settled at Columbus.
Hence, some talk is INDUCED in regarding
strike, which, however, does not appear prob
able, unless the order to which nearly all the
miners belong is abandoned. AS TO the latter.
the order has but recently been revived, and is
now stronger than ever.
Work is slack in the mines at present, though
it will compare fayorably with what it was last
summer.

Threatened strike of Iron-Workers.


PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-Representative Of
Eve large rolling mill firms of this city held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to consider de-
mands presented by their 1900 employees. At
its close those present stated that they were not
yet prepared to make their decision public. The
general feeling among the employers has beer
adverse to granting the advance asked, on the
ground that business will not warrant it. The
demands presented by the men stipulate that
the selling price of two cents per pound shall be
established as the minimum basis in the sliding
scale by which wages are determined Under
the present arrangement an advance from the
selling price of two cents brings proportionate
advance in wages of the men. while any decline
in the selling price decreases the wages of the
puddlers. The establishment of two cents as
the minimum basis would increase the wages of
the puddlers from So 65 to about 81 per ton. The
men have requested that an answer to their de-
mands be returned this week. and in the event
of refusal to grant the advance they say they
will strike at once. The men are members of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and Steel
workers and the Knights of Labor and have
been promised the support of both organizations.

What? About 1900 square feet of floor
space in the When Clothing Store, and it is
al needed.
Whya Because, being manufacturers, we
carry large stocks of goods-large enough to
ft out several ordinary retail stores.
At this season of the year manufacturers
generally must cease running on lightweight
fabrics and begin on the heavy weights.
Where they have lines of fabrics left over
they must sell at great sacrifice. These we
buy and make up into clothes aud this is
why we can undersell other retailers.
Take walk through our Retail department,
and observe not only the quality of the goods
but the prices.
