4 mistake occurred in this paper in
reference to the Cora Lee trial in jeff
erson No. She was not tried for the
murder of Sarah Graham, but had been
held to answer on charge of being ac
cessory thereto. The prompt verdict
given by the jury gives the lie to all the
proud boasts made by the enemies OF
Mrs Molloy who was really the object of
attack. That giftei lady had become
quite obnoxious to the liquor interest of
Missouri and Kansas, by reason of her
effective work IN prohibition campaigns,
aud she has been pursued with ven
geance ever since in their determination
to break down and besmirch her charac-
ter. Cora Lee was her foster daughter, |
and when the latter was on trial for be
ing accessory 10 murder every effort was
made 10 work in perjured witnesses to
testify derogatory to the character Of |
Mrs. Molloy, and she was charged with |
being accessory after the fact, viz:
with having known about it and having |
failed to make such knowledge public
On the trial it was not even proven that |
a murder had been committed, much |
less that either Of the ladies were in any |
manner concerned in it-yet it was made
the opportunity to work in lot of tes-
tim0ny to go abroad in public prints
tending to impeach the moral character
of the evangelist who had been black
listed and put under the ban to be brok-
en- down or besmirched at all hazards.
The outcome is more than a vindication
for the prosecuted lady-but it is sad
blow to those who have made up their
minds to believe i'll OF her no matter
what might transpire.

Death orCoI. A. Chambers.


Mr.. Henry Landes of this City was re
Gently the recipient OF a Minnesota pa
per announcing the death OF { oil. Alexan-
connected with military matters at this
Pert and well known by many of our
citizens. His death occurred in San
Antonio, Texas, lengthy account of
which was copied from the San Antonio,
MIMI, journal, of January 18th to
which latter place Col. Chambers re-
mains were taken for burial from the
residence of his brother, Col. Clark
Chambers. Besides the wife OF the de-
ceased and his brotheas and frie nds in
and about Owatonna, other relatives
were present from Chicago, Omaha and
elsewhere.
The tribute OF the San Antonio, Texas,
Express to the life and military success
of Ool. Chambers is cordial aud worthy
a brave and patriotic soldier and no.
bic gentleman. THE ANGUS quotes;
"The deceased gentleman had been IN
San Antonio but q short time, whittier
he bad come to pass the cold season,
hoping that the climate would allay a
malady which was only accelerated by
the rigor of a northern winter IN Wyom-
ing Territory, where he was stationed in
command of the 18th Infantry with
heapauarters at Fort D. A. Russell. The
death of Colonel Chambers will create
great regret, not only in army circles,
but in civilian also. No officer could
be moro endeared to his subOrdinates
or more loved by his fellow officers.
He was chivalrous to degree, OF daunt-
less bravery and generous sympathles,
possessing rare social attributes that
made him universally popular. and was
soldier and a man in the full sense OF
the phrase"
Col, Chambers was a native OF New
York state, born in 1888. and graduated
at the West Point Military Academy
July, 1858, and at once entered the
Army in active duty as second lleuten-
ant. He was gallant officer during the
late cival war and was made brIgadIer
general. Since the war he was sent by
our government to observe the move
mepts and methods of the Turkish
troops 10 the Turco-R Russian war IN 1871,
and was present at the famous battle OIL
Shipka Pass. Col. Chambers was major
of the q. S. Infantry at Fort Fetterman
Wyoming, and accompanied Gen. Crook
In his expedition against the Sioux In
dians in 1876, where he did gallant
service. The Express concludes thus:
Yesterday afternoon the remains ol
Col. Chambers were sent to his family at
Owatona, Minnesota, and it was the oc-
cassion for one of the largest and mos'
imposing military displays ever seen II
San Antonio, the whole of the troops
stationed here escorting the body OF the
dead soldier to the railroad depot
Almo Plaza at 5 o'clock was alive witt
the brilliant uniforms OF officers and the
less attractive garb of the calvary, artil
| lery and infantry soldiers. The troop:
drew up in line before the Menger hotel
where General Stanley and his stat
were stationed, and amid few chords
of a dirge and the troops salutes the re
mains Of Col. Chambers were borne Il
a caisson that was covered with the ma
tionaI flag and drawn by four blacl
horses. which was to convey them to th'
train -
Col Chambers was widely know
throughout the west and his demise vii
be mournfully regretted.

Commercial Herald

The new chime of ton bells for st.
Paul's cathedral have at last been bles-
sed, and yesterday evening they were
put up in the belfry and tried for the
first time in this city.
The congregation of st. Paurs has
been on the qui yiye for the ceremony
which occurred Sunday evening for
months, and the elements on that oc-
casion were specially propitions, aud
more lovely weather could not have
been imagined.
An elaborate programme had been
prepared for the occasion and the
solemn and beautiful ceremony was
performed in the presence of thous-
ands of spectators in holiday attire,
which rendered the scene one of unu-
sual brilliancy.
Promptly at 4 O'Clock the procession,
headed by the Volunteer Southrons'
Silver Conot Band, and composed of
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Janssens. the visi-
ting priests and several Catholic socie-
ties of the city, left the convent and
proceeded to the church where the
bishop delivered an eloquent address,
expatiating on the uses of bells in
Catholic ceremonies, and thanking the
donors in the name of God and the
church.
The congregation then filed out of
the church to where the bells were
Immediately outside of the church, and
here the blessing of the bells proper
was commenced. First, the bishop
touched each bell with cloth dipped
in holy water, and then they were
washed and dried by the attendant
priests. Next they were anointed with
chrism and oil and perfumed with in
cense. The bells were then dedicated,
each to some Saint, sponsors appear
ing for each bell.

Diseased RoyaIty.

New York, March "a London dis
patch TO the Times says: To-day's
events raises to fever heat continental
interests in the query: "How long
will the Crown Prince liver Scrofula.
or that worse allied disease, with which
so many royal strains of blood are con-
taminated, lays a heavy hand on the
llohenzollerns at Reno and Berlin
alike A fact which has been pri-
vately known here for some months
may now properly be mentioned. The
present aged Empress of Germany,
mother of the Crown Prince. has been
a victim to hereditary scrotula, or
cognate malady, for many years. She
got il from her mother, Marie Paulo-
wana, who was daughter of the crazy
Car Paul, one of the most thoroughly
diseased men of his generation. All of
Pauls daughters transmitted the taint
TO their descendants. One of them.
Annie Paulowna, was the mother of
the present King of Holland, and the
recent death of both his sons and the
extinction of his male line are attrib-
uted to this. In the male Romanoif
line the same malady caused the death
ofthc Czarevitch, who was the earlier
brother Of the present Gar, and now
renders il very doubtful If the present
youthful Czarevitch will ever reach
manhood.
In the lIohenzollern case not only Is
the Crown Prince suffering from this
hereditary taint, but his son William,
who in few weeks or months viii be

4 Bad State Of Affairs.


1t is said by gentlemen who are
thoroughly conyersant with the Audit
or's office. and who have made il their
business to serutinize the same, under
the administration Of Mr.. Gwin. that
it was not conducted as it should have
been. Ii this department had been
faithfully administered-th interest of
the state faithfully guarded. the ne
cessity of the State having to borrow
100000 would have been obvlated.
Over S500,000 was lost to the State bv
defaulting sherifis, when the law gov
erniug these officials is so plain that
there is no way OF eyading or miscon-
STRUNG it.-Clarksdale Banner.
The above from the Clarksdale Ban
ner, a straightOut Democratic paper,
speaks in no uncertain sounds. Il
speaks of Mr.. Gwin's administration
(who was State Auditor for eight years)
without intrenehing upon Mr.. Gwin's
private character. We think we know
Mr.. Gwin, and know him well. We
regard him as an honest, social and
clever gentleman, but that he was ever
competent forthe great responsibilities
imposed on him. we have always had
great doubts, and the above strength
ems our convictions.-Grenada Senti-
mel.
In originating this indictment against
man who has been out of office for 5
years, the papers quoted have gone Il
far and a queer way to spring a scape
goat. We have regarded it as a strain
upon truth, emanating from personal
and tactious sources, to charge the re-
sponsibility of the deficit in the State
treasury upon the Governor; and this
position we have shared with the
Grenada Sentinel at least. But that
official does possess the power of
vetoing and the right of recommend
ing restrictions upon legislative appro-
prlatlons. But the Auditor, a mere
book-keepcr of the public finances,
who can neither "bind nor loose" the
state for dollar, except he were a
detaulter; the charge or implication is
as to him mere recklcssness.
The assertion that the State had lost
SbO0,000 by defaulting collectors is, IN
the absence of evil intent, not libel /;
but simply moonshlne. If those who
utter il care to enter upon its veriilca-
ton they will find the truth can be
more accurately expressed by substi-
tuting figure for the 5 or striking
off an aught. But if it were double
the amount, there is neither reason nor
conference in inculpating the Auditor.
We are quite confident that there
would be equal difficulty in furnishing
SUBSTANTIAL specifications against OK
Auditor Gwin of general incompe-
tcncy.
