The Emporia weekly news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1881-1889, 1888-05-17

Tuesday morning the case of the State
VS.. John P. Perrier, charged with sell
ing intoxicants, was called in the dis
trict court. This is case that has at
tracted considerable attention in the
defendants neighborhoOd and in fact
in the whole county. John Z. Perrier
is a yOung farmer and vine grower,
living seventeen miles southeast of the
city ON Rock creek. From his fruitful
vines he makes the "red, red wine,"
and always keeps on hand choice vari-
cites of various ages, some young and
sparkling, others older and more en-
toxicating. He was indicted by the
last grand jury for selling quantity of
the latter to the young men in the
vicinity, and from which they became
drunken and carried on at lively rate.
But one count is charged in the true bill
from the grand jury and the State has
several young fellows from Rock creek
in court to testify to the quantity,
quality, and effects of this beverage
said to be sold by Perrier OH this speci-
| fed date.
/ uClCIIoO bchC II1C RlOAh0o
pure grape juice is not intoxicating and
is harmless beverage and furthermore
claim that these young men had been
| indulging in the more inebriating drink
of whisky, and that they were drunk
before touching Perrier's wine. The
defendant is a Frenchman, as is large
number of his witnesses, and in one
instance it was necessary to swear in
an interpreter, A. Jardimer acting in
that capacity. The jury in the case
are: Messrs. VIM. Clapp, Samuel
Moore, Neil Curry, w. S. Hampton, E.
r. Campbell, D. S. Miller, d. S. Bill,
A. c. Sackett, E. l.. Jones, Thomas L.
Jones, w. S. Cook and A. j. Stain
brook.
The jury in the case of Hornbarger
VS.. Stouffer returned verdict in favor
| of the defendant.
The case of the State VS.. Gill was
called at O'Clock but on account of
the absence of witnesses was continued
| for the term.

Notable ArrtvaIatJoItet.

JOLIET, H., Nav 15.-Dr. Benjamin
81. Bean, the physician who was con-
victed of criminal assault on Miss
Fannie Reed. at Cherry Valley, H., and
who received sentence of one year in
the Joliet penitentiary, was placed be-
hind the bars this afternoon. and was
one OF the worst broken down men
ever received at that institution. He
shed tears all the way from Rockford
to Joliet, bemoaning his fate and call
ing upon God to witness that he was
| innocent of the crime charged.
This was the most celebrated case
| that ever came up in the Winnebago
/ county court. DR.. Bean was a man of
| good reputation and physician of ex-
1 fensive practice The charge was
made on October last by Miss Reed. a
sister of James Reed. one of the dep
uty sheriffs of WinnebagO county.
When the jury brought in their verdict
of guilty. and awarded Bean a year at
Joliet, his attorneys carried the case to
the supreme court and he was released
on O,0OO bail. He was escorted bach
to Cherry Valley by his friends and {
brass band, and fine banquet wa:
spread in his honor by his friends wht
would not believe him guilty. But II

The Repuhlican rnr,r Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE fea-
lures Of the republican tariff bill are
as follows:
1. The removal of the tariff on su-
gar.
2. The payment of a bounty of &c
per pound to sugar raisers in this
country.
8. The removal of tho tobacco tax,
except that upon cigars and cheroots.
4. The removal of the tax on alcohol
for manufacturing purposes and on
fruit brandy.
S. The revision of the wool and
wooden schedules on what is known as
the Hewitt plan.
This is the whole scheme. 1t leaves
lumber, salt, the metals, glass, ETC.,
undisturbed, but it cuts the revenue
between SO, 900, 900 and $50, OO0, 600.
This proposition the republicans will
propose at the proper time to substi-
tute for the Mills bill. Republican
members are under a bond of secrecy
to keep the provisions of the bill to
themselves until the end of the gen.
eral debate, but Representative Can
non, chairman of the republican eau
Gus, will have a speech in the Record
tomorrow in which he advances this
proposition as one on which republi.
cans can unite without disturbing the
industries of the country. Mr.. Can
non is very hopeful that this plan viii
obtain enough democratic votes Il
carry it through.

port of the general conference commits
sion on consolidating, unification and

tensions, and also to make an equitable
division of the assets Of said mission

name of the missionary society of the
M. E. church. DR.. Spencer presented
the report and said it was the best plan
the convention could offer.

High water on Ghe NIIssIssappI

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-The river is
steadily rising here and the inhabit-
ants of the American bottom are
moving their stock and portable
property beyond the bluffs. From the
experience of former years they know
the territory covered now with hum
dreds of thousands of acres of waving
crops may to-day be under ten feet of
water.
Reports from the north are alar-
ming and if the Sny leVee or the
Madison dixie breaks the loss will be
millions. a regular exodus has taken
place from the Sny bottoms. The en-
tire town of Alexandria, Missouri is
inundated and five feet of water
covers the principal streets. There
has been no loss of life, but the prop
erty loss is heavy. People are beInQ
taken as fast as possible to the high
lands couple of miles back of the
towns. The Sny levee is now beinO
patrolled for miles by sentinels whose
duty it is to summon assistance when
any weak spot is observed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 16.-The ami
versaries of the Western Unitarian
association are being held in this city.
The women's western conference yes
terday held its annual session. Re-
ports were read showing satisfactory
progress of the work in all directions.
The report on s'postofice mission
work showed that it had been of great
missionary value. This mission was
established several years ago and, as
its name indicates, makes a literary
bureau of nearly every pOstofiice where
the church has societies. The litera
ture is not forced upon the people, but
simply advertised and furnished free
to applicants. An interesting paper
was read by Mrs. Kate Garrett Wells
of Boston, on The need of religion,
rather than special legislation. 1t was
against the raising of the moral stand
ard by law instead of religion: The
following officers were elected: Mrs.
j. G. Richardson, Princeton, Illinois,
president; Mrs. E. A. West of Chicago
and Mrs. G. j. Learned of st. Louis,
vice presidents; Mrs. L. C. Hilton,
treasurer, and Miss Florence, Hilton,

An open Letter. from Mrs. BEEN.

CHICAGO. May 15.-The following
open letter from Mrs. Martin BEEN,
whose husband, General BEEN, suicid-
ed at Stanton, Nebraska, some time
ago, was read last night at the session
of the Union Veteran club:
Gentlemen of the Union Veteran
club write you to ask you that you
receive and discuss the report of yoEr
committee. who were appointed to in
vestigate the death of my husband, in
open session, for these reasons: A full
knowledge of the facts attendant on
his death is my complete vindicatiou.
The worst that 1 have to fear is that
these facts will not be known, or will
be distorted. Either ] murdered him,
or he committed suicide. A report
that does not affirm belief one way or
the other. cannot be frank expression
of candid men, and is unjust to the iv-
ing and the dead. If the committee
believes that / murdered him, then l
wish the report and discussion to be
a public one, in order that the press.
which has SO far been NV
best friend. may have a chance to scan
the facts and motives which led to that
report. If the committee believes that
he committed suicide, / then have
every reason for giving it publicity. !
wish to call attention to the fact that
my husband, Immediately before leav-
| ing CHICAGO. emptied his vault, de
stroyed all papers except those which
reflect on his self-appointed murderer
and arranged all his affairs as if he ex
pected never to return. He then made
| a will and, in a postscript ATTACHED
thereto, suggests that he is to be muir
dered, points out the way, designatet
the probable murderer, appoints com
mittee to investigate the matter ant
finishes with the statement that hi
threat to commit suicide was meaning
less and made for effect only. He hal
written for information as to needle
ammunition in order that his prospeC
tive murderer might lack moth
ing. He then rushed int
! the arms of the one Unsupported {
. do the bloody deed, and Surprised he
with the opportunity. The fact that
So, 600 life insurance, payable to b
sisters, may depend on his making
appear that he was murdered, seems
have occurred to few, but the inventS
l of the scheme. Nor does the fact tn;
p by his own acts he had made it in
: possible for him to return here an
}, earn living, seem to have entered i

ArIena,sh Outrage.

DELPHI, Ind, May 14.-Yesterday
afternoon a man representing himself
as Mr.. Milroy, a farmer living about a
mile in the country, called at the home
of William StarkeV in this city, to en-
gage his daughter Cora, about fifteen
wears old, as domestic. Although he
was unknown to Starkey or his family,
there was no objection to the girl going
with him, as the Mnroys are highly re-
spected. The two started on foot
down the railroad track. When about
half mile from town they left the
railroad and started across a piece of
woodland toward a house which the
man said was his. They had no sooner
entered the woods than the girl was
seized by the throat and assaulted.
The villain made his escape and the
girl reached home last night in a pitia-
Bile condition. The sheriff and a posse
are in pursuit of the scoundrel. A
stranger was arrested at Rockfield
seven miles distant, but was after
i wards released

CHICAGO, May J6.-Twenty repre-
sentatives of large exporting flour mills
from st. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwau
kee, Buffalo, Chicago Cleveland, Terre
Haute and other points, attended
meeting here last evening called by
President Seybt of the National Mil
lers association, to correct abuses of
the foreign and domestic trade. After
considerable discussion of various
grievances, Seybt proposed that two
bureaus be established, one to take
charge of the export trade and the
other domestic trade. These bureaus
were to be under the direct man
agement of the National association
committee, with competent man at
the head of each to attend the details.
The proposition was adopted. Mr..
Seybt was appointed to map out the
duties of the export bureau and
Messrs. Alexander Smith of st. Louis,
Halliday and Stannard to prepare a
plan for the domestic bureau. They
will report at meeting of the Ma
tional association in June.

corresponding period last year. Foreign
wheat is quiet in London, and prices

The Raging Mississippi.

LOUISIANA, Mo-, May 16.-The gap
in the Sny levee, through which the
Mississippi is now pouring, has widened
almost 800 yards. The Sny basin coh-
tains 12O, 600 acres of fine farming land
and it is estimated that fully $4,000
acres will be inundated. OF the sub
merged lands 5O,OOO acres are in crops
and the majority in wheat. The water
is now rushing southwark over the
bottoms over space of six miles wide.
The water in the river proper is at a
standstill.
O'FALLoN, Mo-, May 16.-The water
is now an unbroken sheet from bluff to
bluff except in the extreme southwest
portion of the bottom. Business on the
Keokuk line is wholly suspended, as an
open lake of water reaches from st. Pc
ter to beyond old Monroe. No accurate
estimate can now be made of the dam
age which may be done within twenty
four hours. Last fall there was large
acreage of wheat sown on the lowlands
and owing to a favorable season fol
corn planting, large acreage of corn
was planted. All of these crops will
be wholly destroyed if the rise does not
abate. The men who will suffer most
are renters, as all these bottom lands
are owned bY wealthy men.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May ia queer Sc
quel to the general May day moving
in Chicago was developed yesterday af-
ternoon at 8OO6 Cottage Grove avenue,
the former occupant of which was D.
J. Tobman, an ostensibly quiet and re-
firing German boOk-keeper. A family
named Carpenter, who moved in, dis
covered accidentally yesterday after
noon in an out of the way corner, a
genuine dynamite bomb of the best APP
proved gas pipe pattern. 1t was four
teen inches long and proved one of the
most dangerous bombs ever tested by
the police. Apparently the missile
was forgotten in the hurry and confus-
ion of moving day. The police will
trace the Tobman family and inquire
into their antecedents.
