Terry'S Partner Thinks He Did

Case-Shot for Deer.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Porter Ashe,
who was a partner of Judge Terry, has
known him for many years. Ashes father
was graduate of West Point, and was a
Texas ranger with Terry in the Mexican
war, and they were fast friends. The son
studied law with eX-Judge Terry and be-
came associated with him in business.
GAS to this killing" said Ashe yesterday
at the Windsor hotel, ''all have to say is
that instant death is pretty severe punish
ment for slapping a man in the face. True,
it accorded with western sentiment, but
one would hardly expect such retribution
from the sureme court. have no sus-
picior that Judge Terry meant to kill Justice
Fl I'D OF do any harm further than to
huLllliate him. He was very passionate
ma; l never knew one more so. He felt
very bitter against Field, whom he re
garded as an enemy, for what he considered
his severity of late toward his wife"

That Texas Man.

RICHMOND, Texas, Aug. 17-Since the
fighting last evening in the streets here,
things have been quiet. The county
officials, who, are among the "Wood-
peckers," retreated to the court house,
carrying Their wounded, and still occupy
it, supported by the Houston Light guards,
who arrived here this morning, twenty
five strong. The wounded in the court
house are Judge ]. w. Parker, member
OF the legislature, and Deputy Sheriff
Mason, shot badly through the shoulder
One ball entered beneath the shoulder
blade of Judge Parker, and another through
the groin; the latter is the more dangerous
wound. The bodies of Sheriff James
Garvey and ex-Sheriff Blakeney are still
there, there being no proper officer here to
hold an inquest. The "Jaybirds" are in
possession of the streets and no warrant
has been sworn ou9 and arrest made.
Henry Frost, leader of the ''Jayb1rds,'
also was shot down on the street last night
with four bullet wounds. He is fast sink
ing. He was waylaid some months ago
and shot in the back with a load of buck
shot but recovered with the tanning of one
of his arm. The "Jaybirds" are IN
doubtedly prepared for trouble at any mo-
ment, while the opposition has materially
weakened by the loss of its leaders.
There is a panic among the people here,
chilly negroes, and nearly hundred have
left by rail today never to return. 1t is
said that Henry Frost, "Jaybird," after he
was shot down raised himself on his arm
and killed ex-Sheriff Blakeney with his
Winchester. Governor Ross is expected to-

WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!
The Old Men Think he Elixir an Aladdin's
Lamp, but 1t Isn't.

[Specal to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
New YORK, Aug. 17.-There were no
further experiments with Brown-Sequard's
elixir at LOOMS laboratory at East Tween
ty-sixth street yesterday. II am going to
stop experimenting for the present" said
Dr. LOOMS, lat least, there will be no
more experiments until the excitement dies
out. We have had bad results" LOOMS
looked as ifhe would have liked to add, and
no good ones either, but he did not say So
Only two patients presented themselves
yesterday; both had been experimental on
before. One of them was deaf man. He
could not hear any better than the day the
first trial was made. Questions to him
had to be written on paper; he could talk,
though. He said the thing had done him
no good, he wanted no more. After con-
sultation the doctors came to the same
conclusion.
LOOMS went to Bellevue hospital to ex-
anime the patients there into whose bodies
the elixir had been injected. The old men
were all alive and doing well. LOOMS does
not care to talk about the effects of the ex-
pertinent at this time; he considers that
anything he might say now would be pre-
mature. Several days must elapse after
the operation before the result can be
known definitely. Loomis is not making
tests for any other purpose than in the in
tsrest of science, for the reason that he
does not care to anticipate. The house
physicians at the hospital decline to talk of
the con iition of the patients. From num-
Der of sources, however, IL is learned that
no beneficial effects are noticeable in the
hospital patients who were treated.

THE SUGARBUSINEsS.
Prices Have Fallen Very Much Lately-The
Tendency is DOwnwards.

Tendency is DOwnwards.
New YORK, Aug. 17-For some time
past the demand for sugar has been stead
lily falling off. Last week no New York
sales at all were chronicled in Willett,
Hamlin & Co.'s weekly statement This
week the reported sales are very light.
Prices for raw sugar have declined GIG of
a cent and for refined = cent. The efforts
of the refners to make a sufficiently low
price of the product to induce demand
and have an improving market for the re-
mainder of the year, have carried down the
quotations for raw also, so that one-half the
entire rise for the year is lost. Centrifu-
gals are 3-16 cents below and graduated
cent below the highest price for the year
These big reductions have been volun-
tary They are notable from the fact that
the refners have at present large guam
tity of raw sugars in stock, for much Of
which they paid prices equal to the present
selling prices of refined sugars.
This condition of affairs presents the cur
ious anatomy of the trust doing business
for nothing, if, indeed, not at an actual loss.
The sudden change is one trust business
little expected. Two weeks ago it was con-
graduating itself upon being able to keep
up prices. Beyond doubt the change has
been caused by strange and unexpected
condition of the market both in Europe
and America; it has been a sort of semi
panic and big holders of refined sugar have
felt strong desire to unload. The demand
has fallen low, and tremendous vacuum
has formed in the trade in consequence, one
never before known in the history Of the
trade. Several European and American
refners are closed, and it is intimated that
the stock in all the principal countries is
SOC, 900 tons against 1900 tens at the same
time last year. 1t remains to be seen
whether further reductions will follow.

The aWorldn on the Terry Case.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-The World says
editorially to-day: maggie was a deputy
marshal specially charged with the duty of
protecting Justice Field against the appre-
hended violence of Terry. Justice Field
had declined to defend himself out of
respect for the dignity of the exalted
tribunal of which he is member, and the
duty Of defending him was laid upon
deputy marshal as is done in court. His
right to use all necessary force was as clear
in the railway eating house as in the court
!. Room, and in judging what force might be
necessary in an emergency, he was entitled
TO the same assumptions and deductions
that would have been operative upon Judge
Fields mind if he had been his own sole
defender In other words. the marshal's
right to defend the justice was identical

Especial TO THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch I
New YORK, Aug. 17.-Frederick w.
Sharon, of San Francisco, son of the late
Senator Sharon, arrived from Europe on
the Teutonic and is stopping at the Murray
Hill hotel. From the hour of his arrival
Sharon has taken pains to keep out of the
way of reporters. Before the Teutonic
reached the dock her passengers had learned
of the shooting of Judge Terry, and that
the affair was intimately connected with
the decision in the famous Sharon-Hill
case. Naturally he became more of an OBJ
ject of interest than before. An hour after
Sharon's arrival at the hotel dozen cards
Had been sent up to his room, but he left
the hotel with some friends almost imme-
:. diately, and dined out, and did not return
till very late. He refused to be seen by
reporters.

Ben Butler ON the Case.

LOWELL, Mass, Aug. 7.-General Ben
jamin F. Butler, when questioned by a
reporter, denied that he had been retained
as prosecuting attorney against Justice
Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle. General
Butler says he could not be retained in the
case, as he would not act as prosecuting
officer against Judge Field. Il do not
think the law of the case has been clearly
settled in the newspapers" said the gen
eral ''If man is attacked and in danger
of his life he is obliged to go to the wall be-
fore he can take the life of his assailant.
1t is different in the case of an officer sent
to protect the Justice of court. 1t is then
left to his Judgment to strike when he is in
danger from his assaiiant."

A Hunter Shot for a Deer.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
ROME, Z. Y, Aug. 17.-Clarence Pell, a
; young man from New York, was acct
dentally shot and killed Thursday morning
in North wood, near Morse river, by Ellis
Roberts, of Utica, who mistook him for a
deer. Pell and two companions, Cox and
Hustled, were camped near the river with
their guide, William Pell, al old woodman.
Ats o'clock in the morning they made their
way towards deer lick. BY fatal coin
cidence Roberts and his companion, named
Sherman, who had their camp about half a
mile above Lake Pansalla, had chosen the
same lick. They arrived there ten minutes
in advance of the other party, and with
their rifles ready quietly waited for the
coming of the game. Suddenly, about ten
rods away, Roberts saw a colored object,
evidently the back of an animal. AS quickly
as his excitement would permit, his rife
was brought up to his shoulder, he took a
quick sight and fired and the object dropped
With a shout of eXultation RoberOs rushed
forward, followed by Sherman and his guide
Spinner. The intervening distance was
quickly covered. Instead of a deer laid low
by the bullet, they saw Pell lying in the
arms of his guide with the blood gushing
from a wound in his right side. He wore a
tan colored coat When Roberts realized
what he had done, he was overcome with
grief Pell made a cry when he was
'Astruck but never spoke afterwards. He
died in a short time. Coroner r. w. War
rem. of lion, held an inquest and brought
in verdict of accidental shooting and ex-
onerated Roberts. Both the principals in
the sad accident are young men. Pell was
81 years old in September last and was
law student at Yale college and president
of the Yale foot ball team. His father is
connected with A. q. Spalding & Co.,
sporting goods manufacturers. Roberts is
only sevneteen years old. He is the son of
George L. Roberts, of the Utica Herald,
and grand nephew of Ellis H. Roberts,
assistant United States treasurer at New
York

Crane Arrested-A Deathbed Quarrel
in Kentucky.

PURvIs, Miss, Aug. 1.-THE court did
not open till nearly O'Clock this morning.
Judge Terrill was on hand long before that
time, and Sullivan was also seated before
the bar, showing up before his attorney
came to court. He looked pleasant and
unconcerned, although there was a tremble
in his eye after the jury was seated, and
he glanced over at the men who found him
guilty. The crowd in the court was small,
but grew larger in few minutes, for
hardly was the court seated when the
grand jury filed in. They presented one
Indictment to be recorded and filed out
again.
Sullivan's case was then taken up. Judge
Calhoun submitted a motion in arrest of
judgement His papers had been left at
the hotel, however, and the case went over
temporarily. District Attorney Neville
called the case of John Fitzpatrick. The
district attorney read the indictment.
When asked what say you, guilty
or not guilty" guilty" quickly
answered Fitzpatrick. District At
torney Neville then addressed the
court, reviewing Fitzpatrick's connec-
ton with the fight and the circumstances
under which he became referee and closed
by saying that he felt justified in recon-
mending the accused to the courts
clemency. Captain Fitzpatrick also made
a statement in his own behalf, and con-
cluded by asking the court to be as lenient
as possible. The court reserved its decis-
ion.
The Sullivan matter was taken up again
and Green read motion in arrest of judg
ment. The court overruled the motion
after reading its contents. Green then
submitted a motion for new trial and
asked for an immediate decision without
argument from counsel. The motion was
based on various technical points alleging
error in the instructions to the jury and in
the admission and exclusion of testimony
etc, Judge Tecrill then overruled the mo
ton for new trial and sentenced Sullivan
to one years Imprisonment.
