CRIME AND CRIMINALS.
The Opium Smuggling Cases
Begun.
ANARCHIST PLOTS REVEALED.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
AUBURN, N. Y. November 27.-The
first of the famous opium smuggling cases
was moved at the opening of the United
States Court this morning. The defend
ant is Edwin A. Gardner, who has been
indicted for smuggling an aggregate of
$500 pounds of opium. Gardner was
once special agent OF the Government,
when he acquired full knowledge of the
methods of customs collectors. One of
the branches of the case is trial for con-
spiracy for an alleged combination to steal
captured opium packages from the o.
densburg custom house, and substituting
blocks of wood, for the double purpose of
getting the opium and destroying evil
dence. Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Lyttle, whose Office is next to
| the room in which the opium was stored,
Lawyer Stone and Janitor Comiskey
we're arrested on the charge of conspi-
racy and theft. Gardner, who had
given bail, was subsequently again ar
rested at Chicago while trying to sell
opium. John G. Haines, a prominent
lawyer Of Seattle, w. T., is also one of
the defendants in this part of the case.
Gardner was brought into court at 10
O'Clock this morning. His eyes are
weak and he wore bandage over them.
Ex- Congressman Crowley, of Lockport,
appeared as his counsel. United States
District Attorney Lockwood and Assist
ant Hoyt represented the Government.
A jury was obtained in an hour
and Assistant Hoyt opened the case by
relating the story of the smuggling oper-
ations. The first witness called for the
Government was J. Chandler Houghton,
Especial agent of the Treasury Depart
ment. He testified to arresting Gardner
and his cousin, Ephraim Redwood, and
coniscating their trunks. He searched
Ephraim's barn and found 7s0 pounds of
opium concealed amongst the baled hay.
Four trunks of opium were brought into
court and identified as confscated goods.
Albert Rowland, Deputy Collector at
Morristown, who was with Houghton
when he made the arrest, corroborated
the testimony.
After recess many witnesses for the
Government were examined. William
HI. Daniels, exCollector of the Port OF
Ogdensburg, testified that Gardner had
told him about lot OF opium being
shipped to San Francisco and if the mat
ter Of his arrest could be kept quiet he
would tell at the proper time who
shipped it.
The Government closed the case this
evening and ex-Congressman Richard
Crowley, of Lockport, counsel for
Gardner, asked the court to direct
a verdict OF not guilty. on the ground
that the indictment did not follow the
language OF the statutes and did not
charge the defendant with bringing an
article into the United States upon
which duty is levied. The indictment
describes smuggled opium as smoking
opium. In the revised statutes it is de-
scribed as "opium prepared for smok-
ing" The court denied the motion and
an adjournment was taksn till tomorrow
morning.

ISN'T it rather sweeping to say that
President Cleveland appointed thieves
and scoundrels to office? Some bad men
may have slipped in through careless
recommendations of prominent Demo
Gratis, but they didn't stay long after
they had been found out. 1t was
quite different under Republican admin
istrations when the Star-route thieves, the
post trader thieves, the pension fraud
pushers, the whiskey ringsters, the navy
contract looters, and all sorts of red-scale
political vermin fastened themselves on
Office and Government, and ruled the
roost. Oh, those were high old times.
and every mothers son of them still to
the fore is looking forward to a revival OF
the days of yore.

The Soldiers Home. .

The visit of the Committee Of Man.
ayers of the Soldiers Home to inspect
the work already done has proven alto
gether satisfactory. They are better
pleased with the site now than they
were when they first viewed it. At that
time it rained and the atmosphere was so
dense as 10 shut out the beauties of the
surroundings. Yesterday, however, the
weather was clear and the view of the
ocean and the back mountains unob-
structed. The gentlemen expressed
themselves delighted with the progress
made on the grounds. Two large build
ings are already finished, and they will
be formally opened to the veterans in
about month. There are already some
forty ex-soldiers living there, who
have been comfortably provided for.
Some twenty-five buildings for the accom-
mediation of the old soldiers will be
erected. When these are finished, it is
contemplated that they will furnish quar-
ters for about Eve thousand men-an
average of about two hundred to each
building. This will make quite COM
munity Of itself. The water development
is going on satisfactorily, and the grounds
are being improved as fast as can be done
consistent with the expediting of the
more exigent work OF furnishing comfort
able quarters for the soldiers who are to
be given homes.
In few years the Soldiers Home
near Santa Monica will be one of the
most beautiful and attractive places in
the country. The ample grounds will
be dotted with handsome buildings, and
meandering roads and beautiful walks
will intersect the whole immense area.
1t will be supplied with lakes and
groves, and everything that can con-
tribute to its picturesqueness and at
tractiveness will be made features of its
beautiful surroundings. 1t will become
one of the famous resorts of our people,
where they will 60 to saunter in its ave-
nuea, to rest under its shades, and to

In the meantime practical steps should
be taken by our Supervisors, in conjunc-

tween this city and the Home, to lay out
a boulevard that will afford a delightful
drive from Los Angeles clear to Santa
Monica.

Heroic Treatment I'm Store for tn,
Rebel DredgerS.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November 27.-Gov-
ernor jackson, in an interview to-day,
said the situation OF the oyster rebellion
which confronts the State authorities is
this: There are 800 oyster vessels.
whose crews aggregatipg about $4,000
armed men are banded together to
dredge on certain grounds and to drive
off any State force set against them. To
oppose them the State has fourteen ves-
sells, most Of them small sloops, manned
by about one hundred men. We have
reached the stage where this force can
not cope with the marauders, and l
shall adopt heroic measures for the en-
forcement of the law. l have reason to
believe that the Secretary OF War at
Washington will grant us the use OF FIVE,
six or eight-pound cannons which will
be placed on State steamers and at spots
on the shore to be selected hereafter.

THAT SECOND RESCRIPT.
Will the Pope Make His Wishes
Concerning Ireland Known.

DUBLIN, November 27.-The report
that a second papal rescript was sent to
the Irish Bishops, fortnight ago, is
now confirmed. 1t was intended that
the rescript of the document should not
be made known, but that the Bishops
should proceed to force commands con-
tanned in the first rescript without allud-
ing to the existence of the second one.
But this plan was spoiled through the
indiscretion of servant Of the Bishop
of Limerick, who divulged part of the
contents of the rescript. 1t is probable
that the publication Of part of the
document will force the Pope to reaffirm
publicly his wishes regarding Ireland.

Leprosy in British Columbia.

CHICAGO, November 27.-The Times
Ottawa, Ont, special says Word has
been received that Chinese lepers in
British Columbia have communicated
the terrible malady to the Indians. SEN
ator McInnis from British Columbia
states that out of the total population Of
the province, which he places at 10000,
he believes there will not be 5000 liv-
ing in quarter of century as the result
of leprosy. The Columbia authorities
for several years have been officially in
formed Of the presence OF Chinese lepers,
but took little or no action against them,
fearing that agitation of the subject
would turn away the tide OF immigration
coming from Europe.
