INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, JAN u. --Ex Senator
Joseph. +. Mcdonald has just returned from
Washington. He was asked if he thought
n tariff reduction bill would be passed at this
session of Congress- to which he replied:
~ doubt If bill reducing tariff all along
the line can get through under the circum-
stances but l am inclined to believe that
some sort of a compromise measure will
finally be passed. | look upon the matter as
somewhat doubtful, however, and l think it
can only be accomplished after hard strug-
gle. There will doubtless be a long and
tedious debate, and there is evidence that
some of it will prove to be rather heated"
"What do you anticipate will be the nature
of the compromise bill that will eventually
comet"
~ know nothing about it, but l presume a
measure will be successful that will reduce
the tax on tobacco and entirely abolish the
tariff on some of the coarser and most neces-
sary articles"
"What will be done with the whisky taxi"
"That will not be molested."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme court of the United
States to-day in the habeas corpus case of the
mayor and city council of the city of Lin
coin, Neb., who are now in custody Of the
United States Marshal there for contempt of
an order of the United States Circuit court.
The court, in a long opinion by Mr.. Justice
Gray, held that United States Circuit court,
sitting as a court of equity, had no jurisdic-
ton whatever over criminal cases or cases
involving the appointment or removal of
state and municipal officers The pro-
coed ings of the Federal court in Nebraska,
thsrofora. were from the beginning
In the nature of a usurpation of the functions
Of court of law, were beyond its jurisdic-
ton, and were null and void. The detention
Of the mayor and city council Of Lincoln in
custody was decided to be illegal, and they
we're adjudged to be entitled to discharge.

get hold of the mans wealth. Mr.. Parsons
asserted that his client had never broken the
engagement. He not only said: ~ am ell
gagged to you" but also ii stand by my en-
gagement." His letters showed that he was
fond Of the plaintiff, and the very terms OF
endearment used therein made him an object
of derision as he passed along the streets.
Miss Campbell here leaned one elbow on
the reporters table, covered her eyes with a
handkerchief, and had good cry. Mr. Par
sons spoke for two hours and fifteen minutes
and a recess was taken.
After recess ex-Judge Fullerton began his
address on behalf of the plaintiff. He spoke
of his client as a woman above the average
in intelligence and strength of character,
and referred to her foresight in studying for
the stage to prepare to support herself
in case of her fathers failure. He ridi-
culed the proposition OF the other side that
Miss Campbell was in search of husband
simply because of his wealth, and reviewed
her life in support of his theory that she
was an independent and warm-hearted wo-
man. Judge Fullerton detailed in glowing
language Mr.. Arbuckle's courtship. Counsel
referred humorously to the bleached hair
and dyed mustache episode, and read
couple of verses of rhyme on the subject
signed ak. M. G." Judge Fullerton then re-
lated how Mr.. Arbuckle turned from his
loved one when he learned that her father
had failed; how she went ninety miles TO him
to prove that her father, though he had
failed, did so honorably, and had come out
of the ordeal unscathed The speaker dwelt
at length upon Mr.. Arbuckle's proposition to
Miss Campbell to come 10 New York and
take rooms at an uptown hotel, drawing
from it the inference that it was intended as
dishonorable offer.
Judge Beach, in his address to the jury,
said: "The question at stake involves no
particular complexity, but is easily under
stood and the testimony is confined between
narrow limits. 1t is the duty of the court to
explain to the jury the principles of law in
volved. The contract of marriage is con-
coded, whether or not he broke it. The con-
tract rests not upon the presence or absence
of verbal or written refusal OF Arbuckle to
perform the contract. If you think that the
defendants excuses were plain avoidance
of the marriage contract, then the plaintiff
is entitled to verdict. II you find to the
contrary, then you must decide for the de-
PENDANT. The question of the amount OF
damage is difficult one. You must con
slider all things fairly and return IA verdict
accordingly"
The jury then RETIRED and after an hour
and half elaboration, brought in a sealed
verdict, which will not be- made public till to-
morrow.
There is a rumor to the effect that the jury
has found a verdict for Miss Campbell for

Man, Woman and Child Horribly Man
gIed by Dogs.
CAMDEN, N. j., Jan. 10 1.-Two huge mas
tiffs, owned by Lawyer Thomas II. French,
nearly killed three persons yesterday. Mr..
French lives at Al York street. Between
and o'clock yesterday afternoon Jennie
Young, the S-year-old child of a neighbor,
was playing in the kitchen with the dogs, as
she had often done before. Suddenly Mrs.
French, who was in the sitting room, heard
piercing screams from the child. There WINS
no servant In the house, and Mrs.
French ran quickly to the kitchen.
Little Jennie had been knocked to the
door, and the dogs had attacked her
ferociously. Mrs. French endeavored to
drive them off, but for the first time in the
two years Mr.. French has owned them they
refused to obey her and instead sprang at her
throat and bit viciously at her face. She was
quickly knocked down and both animals at
tackled her afresh. Her screams brought Mr..
French down stairs and he made for the dogs.
No sooner did they see him than they sprang
upon him and despite all his efforts the fierce
beasts knocked him down close behind his
now unconscious wife and attacked him fe-
rociously. He finally struggled to his feet,
seized poker and drove them out of the
kitchen, and locked the door. Then he fell
fainting to the floor, covered with blood and
his clothing torn in a dozen places
The child was badly bitten about the
throat, face, and arms, and was one mass of
torn flesh and blood from her shoulders up.
Mrs French's face was terribly lacerated,
her right arm torn, and one ear bitten half
off. Mr.. French was terribly cut and torn.
Part of his nose was gone, and it will be nec-
essary to graft skin from his arm to preserve
it. His face and neck were badly torn and
cut by the fangs and claws of the brutes, and
he is suffering very much from the shock
Mrs. French is Frustrated, and the physicians
fear serious results in her case. The child
had many spasms, and there are grave fears
for her recovery.
The mastiffs have been in Mr.. French's pos
session for two years, and never before ex-
hibited any tendency to harm any one.
