THE SIOUX CITY MuRDER,

Sioux City Journal, 9th: While the
assassination Rev. Mr.. Haddock was
still the chief topic OF conversation yes-
terdsy, very few new facts we're. de-
veloped. The coroner's jury was in
session at the courthouse during the
day. and of the testimony elected but
q very meager knowledge could be
obtained. :
Attorney General Baker arrived in the
city yesterday noon, and was present
at the inquest with District Attorney
Marsh during the afternoon. He took
such part in the proceedings as he saw
fit, and made such suggestions and
inqu:=sas as seemed proper and necess.
airy.
A number of witness were examined
during the day, but the names the
coroner declines to divulge. The
evidence, as near as can be ascertained,
continues to strengthen the theory that
there is q conspiracy in the city, in
which many men are implicated, and
one OF the officers said yesterday that
I'VE think we are much nearer the facts
now than yesterday. and we believe that
at least a dozen men were connected"

manding That Cutting be sentenced to

he was breaking the Mexican laws by

THE COURT IN A DILEMMA.

An embryo Justice of the Peace
in Missankee county, Mich, de-
livered the following charge to the
jury in the trial of his first case !:
"GentIemen of the jury: Charging
a jury is new business to me, as
this is my first case. You have
heard all the evidence as well as
myself, and you have also heard
what the counsel for the plaintiff
has told you. If you believe it.
your verdict will be for the plain
tiff but if, on the other hand, you
believe what the counsel for the de-
PENDANT has told you, your verdict
will be for the defendant. But if
you are like me, and don't believe
what either of them have said, then
I'll be-if know what you will
do. Constable, take charge of the
iury."

A CONCERT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

The famous Polish violinist, NJ.
Henri Wieniawski, when "starring"
at st. Petersburg, was ordered to
play before the Gar Alexander III.
In due time lie appeared at the
Winter Palace, was shown into
State department where tue Emperor
made his appearance, accompanied
10y large Newfoun land dog. When
the artist began his performance, the
dog, who was Wing ut his masters
feet, got up and slowly approached
Wieniawski, who began to feel some
what uncomfortable, fearing that
the animal, according to the manner
of his kind, might Legin to accom-
pany his play by howl. Instead
If This, however, the dog came close
up to him and put his two forepaws
on the artists knees. 1t is easy TO
understand that such situation was
anything but advantageous to the
musical performance. Nevertheless,
Wieniawski continued his concert,
while the dog, not satisfied with his
demonstrations, came closer and
closer, following with his head every
movement of his arm. At the
thought that his art would he fore
ever ended if the gigantic mouth
should open to bite his right hand
off. the violinist trembled inwardly
with fear, but dared not discontinue
his play. AT last the Emperor. who
had evidently enjoyed the situation,
inquired, "Wieniawski, does the dog
incommode you at all?" "iour
Majesty" replied the artist, 81
fear lncommode the dog" Alex
ander III. was much amused by the
answer, and called the dog back.
