THEY WERE MURDERED.
Fred Newport Gives the Dyna-
miterS Completely Away
After All.

Atchison, Kas, July 31.-Fred Newport.
notorious By his conHections with the train
wreck at Wyandotte during the last great
Missouri Pacific strike three years ago.
gave his deposition in Atchison to-day to
be used in the trial of the cases of Robert
Gears and Michael Leary, two of his
comrades in the celebrated crime, who
have sued the Missouri Pacific for $50 600
damages each, Viewpoints story gives the
crime away in every detail, beginning
Assembly Hall at 1919 South Sixth street,
Wyandotte. His story is substantially the
testimony of Van Fossen, who turned
States evidence on the trial of the wreck
ers, and it also agrees with Oliver @.
Lloyd's statement to Furlong, but which
Lloyd afterwards repudiated. Newport
relates with minute details the work at
the track; how Gears fixed the rails so as
to throw the train into the river; the
movements of the gang afterwards, and
everything connected with the case. He
also gives the conversations about the
wreck he has hadOwith Gears and Leary
since the Paola trial, resulting In the ac-
quittal of Hamilton. After the Paola
trial the cases against Gears and Leary
were nolle prosecuted, which encouraged
them to sue for damages. Newport has
meyer been tried, and is still liable to ar.
rest for his share in the crime.
The civil cases will be tried at Leayen-
worth, the company having taken change
of venue from Wysndotte county. 1t is
understood that the company will demand
the arrest of Gears and Leary for perjury,
should they swear in their own behalf on
the trial that they had nothing to do with
the wreck, which they must do if they
hope to maintain their cases. Van Fossen,
the man who turned States evidence, is
said to be some place in the south, and
Lloyd, the other informer, is in Philadel-
phia. Whether they or either of them
will be witnesses at the forthcoming trial
in Leavenworth, is not stated.

MISS BRIDGES MARRIAGE.
The ENHANCEMENT With Another
Lover The Plot Story
Not Believed.

Ogdensburg, \. Y, July 30.-Society in
Ogdensburg is utterly astOunded BY the
announcement that the recent marriage of
Miss Fannie Bridges, of this city, TO Mr..
h. c. Barton, of Omaha, Neh., is to be an
nulled, with the approval of the friends of
both parties. Something more than a year
ago Miss Bridges, sunny-faced, innocent
hammered young girl, returned from a
visit TO Omaha afianced to Mr.. Barton,
The engagement was approved of by
her friends, and in due time prepare
tons were made for the marriage. But In
the intervening months, while the young
lover was far away, Miss Bridges was
thrown into the society of Fred. j. Hamill,
Of Utica, a fascinating young scapegracs
with pretty face, with whom she fell
desperately in love. che married Mr. Bar
ton, bit found herself unable to give Up
young Hamill, and her welded life be-
came intolersble to her.
Apparently Miss Bridges had been too
weak to face the opposition and the social
scandal sure to fol ow a refusal TO fulfil an
engagement which had become repugnant
10 her, and so had allowed herself to drift
along to marriage.
1t IS impossible that she should have
conceived or executed any such blackmail-
Ing scheme as has been telegraphed from
Omaha, but she has been under such ner.
vous tension for months and so utterly in
fatuated over young Hsmill that she has
been hardly responsible for what she has
done.
Utica, ". Y, July 29.-Frej j. Hamill
arrived home at 10 o'clock this evening. A
correspondent saw him at his resi-
deDce. The young man was
z -eatly excited and said he
didn't think they would put such stuff in
the papers. Hamill said Miss Bridges was
engaged to the Omaha man year when
he first met her. He said all the reports
about drugging were pure rot. He said he
didn't wish TO say too much at present,
else he might be sorry for it afterwards.
Hamill's family are chagrined over the
affair

The Presidents Message.

President Harrison's first message is a
very long document, but this is very large
country, and adequate treatment Of its va
ried interests cannot be given in paragraph
or two. On the important questions of the
day the President gives nonncertain sound,
and his recommendations are numerous and
distinct. At the outset he reports the coun-
try at peace with all the world, and
International questions to which we
are a party for the most part in a
fair way to settlement. Though the fishery
question and the Alaska seal question are
MT referred to by name, yet it is a fair in
ference from what the President says re-
garding our relations with England that ne
gotiations concerning them are proceeding,
and satisfactorily.
On the question of the silver coinage, the
President takes conservative position.
Though opposed to any legislation that shall
dscredit silver, he is manlfestly against free
coinage or any considerable increase of the
present rate of coinage. AS regards the tar
If, while adhering firmly to the protective
principle, he favor of revision which
shall admit free of duty such articles as do
not enter into competition with our home
products, and Of the simplifcation OF the
administrative features OF the existing law.
He recommends the repeal of the tax on to-
bacco. and spirits used In the arts as prac-
tical and satisfactory way of reducing the
surplus.
National aid to education is approved, and
his argument on this point amounts practi-
cally to an endorsement of the Blair educa-
ti0nal bill. The protection of the negro in
the exercise Of all his political rights is in
sisted upon, and legislation recommended to
that end. Obviously national election law,
were one passed by Congress, would receive
his approval. Liberality to the soldiers and
sailors of the war Of the rebellion is urged
upon Congress, and pension law that shall
provide for the support Of every soldier or
sailor who is dependent on his own labor for
support and is incapacitated. is distinctly
and positively recommended. The decline
OF our merchant marine receives elaborate
treatment, and the plan of revival by means
OF liberal compensation for carry
ing the malls receives his
hearty endorsement. The existing civil
service law is approved, and some sugges-
lions are made which the President thinks
will tend to promote the objects the law has
in view. The clamorers for the repeal of
the law. not only get no encouragement, but
very distinct and positive rebuke.
We have indicated above the positions of
the President on some of the more import
ant questions Of the day. 1t is by no means
asynopsis of the message which deals with a
great many other questions, all of them in
trinsically important but of less popular
interest than those referred to above. The
tone Of the message is dignified, its treat
ment of topics is calm and conservative and
its recommendations are. as rule, we'll for
tilted with argument

The Democratic minority of the House Of
Representatives took the earliest epportu-
nifty to renew their allegiance to tariff reform
as enunciated by Grover Cleveland. But
what tariff reform as eDunciated by Grover
Cleveland means they did not undertake to
define. Nor has it ever been authoritatively
interpreted. BY the free traders it was in
terpreted as step In the direction of free
trade, to be followed by other steps until the
goal was reached. But the protection wing
OF the Democratic party explained that it did
not mean free trade at all. but was nothing

This Congress is quite likely to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of enacting federal cleo
ton law. Already Mr.. Sherman and Mr..
Chandler have bills ready to bring before
the Senate, promptness that indicates that
the measures may be pressed actively. Such
a law would of course be intended for the
Southern States. but it would have to be
general In its terms, and so of course would
be equally applicable to any Northern State
where its force might be invoked. This fact
will probably be found one of the greatest
drawbacks to the passage of any Of the bills
that will come before this Congress.
