MILLER LETTING DOWN.
The Sharp Leader of the Gang
Weakening.
Confinement and a Desire to Bo
Free are Having the Effect
of Bringing the Royal
Miner to a Con-
fession.

\ strong web ofevidence is being
weaved about John Miller, the
cunning negro from whose evil
mind emanated all the schemes
carried out and i'll contemplation
by the ''Royal Nine" The grand
jury now has the case in hand but
of course nothing is known of what
has been developed.
On Sunday afternoon Prose
cutting Attorney Mosby and Sheriff
Atchison visited John Miller at the
jail and talked with him for several
hours. Several times Miller was
cornered. He seems to be losing
his cunning, or is weakening for a
purpose. He acknowledged hay
ing lied in his former statements,
but to what extent would not say.
1t will be remembered that a
pistol, p calibre, was found in the
cooking stove at M%iller's house.
One of the murderers, Mortimer,
has always maintained that this
was the weapon that served to let
out the life of Samuel Apgar. Un-
til yesterday, Miller protested ig-
norance of the existence of the re-
volver in the stove or of any knowl-
edge of how it came there. Yester-
day, he said he knew hat it had
been placed there by Matte Nor
timer, and at his request. Miller
refused to say that he was out on
the night of the murder but said
that at the time the pistol was put
in the stove-between one and
three O'Clock in the morning-he
was not in bed, but twas engaged
in placing some little tools I had
in a box where they belonged"
What use he had for the tools at
that time of night he could not ex-
plain.
During the pumping process
Miller was very nervous. AS the
time for the sitting of Circuit Court
has drawn near, he has been very
anxious to hear news from the
outside. He keenly appre-
ciates his situation, which, to
say the least,is an undesirable one.
Mortimer keeps his goodhumor,
does not seem to care whether
school keeps or not and evidences
no concern in the doings of the
world on the outside of his prison.

The farmers are jubilant over
their prospects for a good crop.
The oat crop is now made, the
meadows have come out and will
make a fair crop, the wheat will
soon do to harvest and is the best for
several years. Corn is looking as
well as could be asked, and as one
of the old farmers said, is "a-hump-
ing it," the millet and Hungarian
are looking well; potatoes, turnips,
pumpkins and all garden stuff look
extremely well.

No Sentfmentalism There.

A special dispatch from Rich
Hill, dated June 16, tells how
Local Option was defeated in that
town, as follows:
Yesterday about a thousand
women and children and men pa
raded the streets with all sorts of
banners in the hope of making an
appeal to the sympathies of the
tender-hearted, but business men
offset it by falling in line directly
after, headed by Corell's city
band, and out-doing the display
three to one. To-day the business
men marched in double column
over 800 strong from the Opera
House to the polls and deposited
their ballots without interference,
which action demoraIized the
drys.

New York, March 27th.-rhe Budget
statement, which was read in the House
of Commons yesterday, has greatly added
to the reputation of Mr.. GoSchen. The
statement shows an expenditure OF
G89, 427, 900, thus saving &423, 900 over the

$50, $50, OOG, or 81 .454, 900 over the esti-

has increased, but the decrease Of the

stamps has increased. The latter circum-

general revival Of trade. The total surplus
amounts to G2, 1866. 900, which is the great.

with a balance OF G5, 100000, and ended
with a balance of CT, 436 600, or sufficient

minor taxes. A tax of five shillingS per
dozen was agreed to-. Sir William Harcourt
urged delay in accepting the reduction of
the Income tax until the other new taxes
had been considered.
