Spencer Jones Declares lie VIII Not 60
10 the Penitentiary, but lie is Taken
There. Nevertheless.
I'm the Hastings Court Monday
Spencer Jones, q white man nineteen
years of age, was tried on one of the
three indictments against him for house
breaking and was sentenced TO SIX
months imprisonment in the city jail
Yesterday morning the other indictments
were taken up. The charge Of entering
the hat store of A. 4. Allen on the night
of April 18th and stealing hats of the
value of $3.50 being the first called. In
the others a nONe pr0seQui was entered.
4 verdict of guilty was rendered and
the prisoner sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary. Jones has already
served one term i'm that institution, and
so will get five years additional. Nhen
the verdict was announced the prisoner
burst into a fit of passion and declared
ne would not 90 to. the peniteDtiary.
There is no Justice in il, said he iii
die in that jail before will 90. I'll take
q knife and cut my throat.
The jury has taken advantage of me
because have been TO the penitentiary
before These assertions he made while
in the heighth of his anger, and many
more of similar character he also used.
Judge Witt issued a special order that
the prisoner be taken Immediately 10 the
penitentiary, saying that Jones was too
desperate a man to be put IN jail.
After the handouts had been placed
on him Jones became even more violent
than before lie was profuso in his
threats and had to be taken up bodily
and placed in the carriage.
CITY Sergeant Carter and Police Ser
geant Tomlinson got in the carriage with
the prisoner and took him over 20 the
penitentiary without any further trouble.
Just before the carriage drove of from
the courthouse the prisoner asked some
one to 20 for his mother This request
not being complied with, the prisoner
wept like a child.
On the way TO the penitentiary Jones
renewed the threat previously made that
he would kill Sergeant Tomlinson when
liberated

ABOUT COMMISSIONER TANNER.
General Belief that He Will Have
to Retire-The Reason Why.

There is a very general belief now that PEN
sion Commissioner Tanner will have to retire
from the pension office. His most unpardon-
able sin, it is said is talkativeness and for this
it is believed he will have to co. The Presi-
dents sympathy with the soldiers inclines him
to approve hberality toward them, and it is
believed that even if point were strained in
that direction he would be slow to condemn.
1t is not thought that any charge OF dishonesty
or perversity of motive could hold for a
moment against the commissioner, and there
is no idea that he will be removed under any
such implication; nor is it at all likely that
charge of too great liberality on the part of
Mr.. Tanner would influence the President
against him--unless it should be something
really gross
The thing, it is said, the administration has
to complain of is that he talks too much and
without sufficient discretion, and is controlled
by sentiment and impulse, rather than by calm
reason.
member Of Congress, speaking with STAR
reporter today, said that he did not think they
could afford to remove Tanner before the cleo
ton.
The idea ia, however, that the removal, if
made. would be for reasons that would not
offend the Grand Army.
The report that General H.v. Boynton, ,corre-
spondent of the Commercial Carte, may sue
ceed Mr.. Tanner is without foundation, as Gem
eral Boynton says he would accept no position
under this or any other administration,

THE DEFLECTIVE ARMOR TEST.
Why Inventor Clark Thinks it VIII be
Failure.

The Clark defective armor is to be tested to-
day at Annapolis before portion Of the naval
advisory board, as announced in The STAR
OF Monday. Nobody, not even the inventor of
the armor, Chief Engineer Clark has any idea
that the test will be successful. 1t is a singular
thing, a naval officer remarked to q reporter
not long ago, that ordnance tests always result
one way, and that is not in favor of anything
that is originated, designed or invented out of
the bureau having these things in charge Mr..
Clark, in an interview yesterday, expressed
himself as satisfied that the target to be fired
at down at Annapolis today will be broken be-
fore anything is demonstrated. He cor
rected several errors which we're COM
mitted unwittingly in The Stars pub
lication of Monday. 1.-The naval ad-
visory board" he said, Gin q letter to the
Secretary of the Navy in February, 1885, asked
for s2O, 900 for the investigation and test of the
defective turrets designed by me. Congress
granted this March 8, 1888, making the money
immediately available, the investigation and
test to be made by the advisory board. The
matter. therefore, did not drift into the hands
OF that board, as you expressed it. The tur-
ret which the target is intended to represent
has double curvature but the target has not
and is therefore much weaker than the turret:
but the weaker target was accepted with the
understanding that it was to be tested
i'll the possession Of the department.
which was of 6-inch caliber After
accepting the weak target they decided
that they must wait for an S-inch gun, which
required two years, and then when they got an
s-inch gun they decided to make the test with
a lO-inch gun, for which they waited three
years more, and now the test is to be made
with l0-inch gun, and not by an S-inch, as you
were informed at the department. The pro-
jectiles to be fred against the target are to be
OF 500 pounds weight, when the target was de-
200 pounds. so that share the opinion Of the
officers who think that the first shot will de-

FOUR NEGROES KILLED.
Peace Now Said to be Assured in Mis-
sissippi.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.-Aspecial from Green
wood, Miss., says: From presentappearances IL
looks as though the sun Of peace would super
sede the cloud Of war. The sheriff OF this
county returned from Minter City, the seat Of
war, last evening and reports everything quiet
Adolph Horton, Scott Morris. N. J.
Dial and Jack Dial, were killed. The
military arrived at Minter City at Z o'clock
yesterday morning. The excitement among
the negroes was augmented BY the report that
peaceful negro had been killed during the
night for refusing to take up arms against the
white people. Upon the arrival Of troops it
was learned that q party Of about 160 negroes,
well armed with Winchester rifles, were en-
camped near Cane Lake, distance Of six or
eight miles from Mintsr City.

Without regarding the command of the officers
they drew their pistols and started to run,

very desperate and mischievous, and had been
the principal aiders of Cromwell and Thomas
in arousing the negroes Of this county.
THE OTHER LEADERS WERE KILLED THIS MORNING
while resisting arrest. Thomas, Allan and
Cromwell, the moving spirits Of the insurrec-
tion, have not been arrested, but the whites
and the better class of negroes are determined
to bring them to justice. George Allan is the
one who killed another negro last Sunday night
on Townsend's place for refusing to join his
band and it is believed he is still in this
county. Cromwell 10 an eX-convict and one of
the principal instigators of the riot His where
abouts at present are unknown, but there are
about seventy-fve or one hundred men search
ing the woods for Allan and his accomplices,
Of whom there are about eight. The best
of feeling prevails between the whites and the
better class Of negroes. and when this trouble
some element has been brought to justice the
machinery will move on as though nothing had
happened.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
The Roofs Of Vestibuie Cars Take Fire
From Friction.

PIrTsBURo, Sept 4-The limited train from
the east was thirty-five minutes late last night
on arriving, through one of the most unex-
pected as well as surprising accidents which
has happened since the vestibule train has been
started. Between Philadelphia and Harris
burg the roofs of the two forward coaches
caught fire through friction, which wore off
the rubber casing and got the steel plates red
hot. The fire was easily extinguished at Har-
risburg, but the fact OF the fire being SO easily
originated has set the railroad people thinking
OF new way to obviate such accidents. The
train went through to Chicago without chang
ing cars, but a meeting will be held within a
few days to devise some means of avoiding this
new danger to vestibule trains.

The New Gunboat Petrol.

The Secretary Of the Navy has notified the
president Of the Columbia iron works Of Balti-
more to have the gunboat Fetrel, recently tried
by an official board, painted and cleaned, ready
for the final inspection. This means that the
vessel is satisfactory and will undoubtedly be
accepted by the government. Pending final
action, however, the Secretary is considering
claim by the company to the effect that they
were ready for the trial thirty-three minutes
before the board began to take the records of
the engines, which were during that period at
their best. When the test actually began the
engines had begun to fall of and before the
end OF the run had gone down quite low. They
argued that they were entitled te credit for the
performance Of the ship for thirty-three min
utes before the records were taken and that an
equal amount Of time be taken from the end of
the four hours. In this case their indicated
horse power would be very near LOO, which IL
the requirement. This claim is likely to be al
lowed. in which case the penalties from this
cause will not amount TO much. She has, how
ever, earned a large sum for the government in

A TALK WITH MR.. GLADSTONE
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
An Interesting Talk on the Subject
with Mr.. Gladstone.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING star.
LONDON, Sept. Al had q most interest
ing and important conversation with Mr..
Gladstone Immediately before his departure
for Paris on the proposed Catholic university.
Gladstone was in high spirits and very out
spoken. He feared nothing and ridiculed the
idea of Balfour's tentative suggestion that the
endowment of Catholic university would en-
danger the liberals alliance with the home
rulers. He had read and sympathized with
Davitt's protest against the scheme, believing
it would die before it was born. He recalled
Carnarvon's suggestion to Parnel and the lord
mayors announcement in 1868 that Disrseli's
government would grant charter and endow-
ment to Catholic university. He recalled the
speech he made in reply to the lord mayor,
quoting with characteristic particularly the
very pages in Hansard where the passages
could be found in which he declared that all
such schemes
WERE DEAD BEFORE THEY WERE BORN.
The demand of the Irish bishops for absolute
control of the university endowed by the i'm
perial funds could not, he thought, be tolerated
for a moment by the English non-conformists,
who constituted the great bulk of the liberal
party. The non-conformists would never agree
TO that. They would, however. raise no objec-
tlons to q home rule scheme which allowed the
Irish to endow their own university with their
own responsibility. Gladstone evidently thinks
home rule capital can be made out Of the Bal
four suggestion. He is confident that nom
conforinists and Protestant prejudice will rem
der Catholic endowment impossible. The
ministerial recognition of the need for a Cath
olic university will lend another argument to
the case for home rule. which is an indispens-
able sine qua non. Gladstone considers him.
self bound hand and foot by his declarations
against the lord mayor, and urged that Balfour
should be invited to show his hand and come
out into the open. The Irish members. he
said, had been rather precipitate, but would
prove themselves very reasonable
