Mr.. TURPIE's SPEECH.
He Makes a Long and Able Attack on the
Trusts.
Washington Special j

Washington Special
Senator Turpie of Indiana Wednesday
delivered the first set speech in the senate
trusts" as his subject and he handled it
well. Tuesday he offered the following
resolution and gave notice to the senate
that he would speak on 1t:
Resolved. That the proposed penal enact
ments against trusts, affecting commerce among
the several states should provide for the seizure
of trust goods, as such, upon lawful warrants
and information, and for the forfeiture, confs-
cation and sale of the same upon due process
of trial and hearing il they be adiudged and
found to be such, t.Ie proceeds to be paid into
the treasury of the United States less the cost Of
prosecution.
Mr. Turpie entered the senate of the
United States with great home reputa-
ton as an orator and constructive states
man. He has been now two years in the
senate, but up to this time refrained from
taking active part in the discussions of the
august body of which he is a member.
This is in accordance with senatorial court
esy which frowns ON new senator taking
active part in debate. Mr.. Turpie read his
speech to-day, and the reading of it was
listened to with profound attention by the
senate and the fairly crowded galleries.
The speech is pronounced by all TO be a
strong document, sharp in its conclusions,
powerful in its snalyzation of the question
at issue and clear and forcible as to the
remedy suggested. 1t was somewhat of a
surprise that Mr.. Turpie chose
to read his speech, as his Indiana
admirers had given the impression
that he was best as an off-hand
orator. Perhaps the reading of the docu-
ment lessened its force among those who
heard it, but there is no doubt that his
reasoning will receive the attention of the
country and have the effect of concentrating
the best thought of the country to prevent
the evils he so eloquently depicted. Mr..
Turpie has a sharp, clear voice, and he
speaks with great rapidity. He was sur
rounded by the democratic members OF
the senate, especially by the southern and
western men, whose constituents are sup
posed to be the chief sufferers from trusts.
The Indiana senator set the antitrust ball
rolling in good shape and it is safe to say
that the subject that he was the first to
tackle will receive considerable airing dur
ing the present session of congress.

speaks for itself. From what ! have heard
since got back to the world again. there
has been some pretty tall lying in the
newspapers. Juror Culver was not the
cause OF the delay and there was not any
unpleasantness or any knock-downs, as
one paper has declared"
'If the others agree to tell what oc-
Cured" said Juror Allison, ''I am willing,
but we made an agreement to keep silent,
and I've nothing to say" Juror North
was hot He had already seen some of
his friends, and they had poured into his
ears the wild stories of war in the jury
room and the assault on Juror Culver, as
published in morning paper to-day, and
he expressed himself very forcibly.
"The man who wrote that ought to be
punished" he said, because there was
not any trouble at all. We passed the
time very pleasantly, considering our
cramped quarters. Please do not talk to
me any more. because | have been up al
most every night since we went out"

then jumped to his feet. 1t was not nee
essary to repeat il to those about him.
They had heard and understood and sat
motionless, forgetting for moment the
clicking of their own instruments. Mr.
Shirley walked to the superintendent's
room, where Clerk Atkinson was at work
For moment he was speeches.. As
soon as Mr.. Atkinson heard the terrible
truth he rushed to the wire and ordered
an engine and coach. A half-hour later,
he in company with Yard Master Nc
Cutcheon and CT. w. Markley, foreman of
bridges were flying over the rail for Gov
ington. In the meantime the train dis
patcher had cleared the track, and the
special having free road, made the dis
tance in one hour and twenty-minutes.
1t arrived here again with the bodies OF
those who were saved from the wreck at
5:45.
The sad news of her husbands death
was broken to Mrs. Wilson by Mr.. Jacoby,
who is in Mr.. Fairbanks office For a
long time she has been an invalid. and
such sudden bereavement was fraught
with danger. The effect upon her could
not be pictured in words.
Mrs. Shirley, wife of the train dis
patcher, with womanly sympathy, failed
TO tell the whole news to Mrs. Cummins.
So it happened that when the operators at
the general Office had hardly recovered
from their first shock, the tenderest chords
OF manhood in them were touched by the
appearance of Mrs. Cummins, almost over
come with grief. The painful duty of in
forming her of the fullness OF the blow she
had received brought tears to the eyes OF
everyone OF those strong young men. She
was led away and taken to her home.
Mr.. Wilson entered the service of the
o., /. & w. railroad about nineteen wears
ago as an operator in the train dispatcher's
office. He has filled the positions OF
operator, travelling auditor, general bag
gage agent, train master, superintendent
/ and general superintendent. He was ap-
pointed to the latter position Oct. 2. 1882,
He lost his arm in the war, and not in a
railroad wreck, as has been enormously
stated. He belonged to a New York
regiment.
He was forty-two years of age, and with
his wife and little daughter, four years old,
lived at 737 n. Delaware-st.
Mr.. Cummins began work with the o.,
j. d w. in the early part of 1882. In 1888
he was promoted to yardmaster at In
dianola, and in 1884 was made trainmasteI
of the eastern division. Upon the death
of 1'rainmaster Marsh of the Peoria di-
vision he succeeded him. On Nov. /, 1885
he was made general trainmaster. He
was about forty-seven years old and leaves
wife and sixteen-year-old daughter.
The bodies were taken from the train to
Kregelo's undertaking establishment. The
remains of Mr.. Cummins will be taken to
Charleston, H., for burial Wednesday
morning at II o'clock.
The funeral of Mr. Wilson will occur
from the family residence at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.

HISTORY OE A CRIME.
How Dudley Was Protected by a Repub-
lican Court and President.
uafavette Journal

laIayette JOurnaL
The letter startled the people-startled
even Judge Woods. The grand jury was
called. Judge Woods instructed that jury
that "while it is not a crime to make the
attempt to bribe, it is crime to advise
another to make the attempt" The grand
jury took evidence. 1t was understood
there was true bill prepared against Dud-
ley. But something happened. The
methods by which Harrison carried
Indiana were about to be exposed in
open court. 1t would never do. Others
besides Dudley would be disgraced-per-
haps sent to prison. Something must be
done. Something was done. A repub-
lican court, TO save a republican admin
istration from disgrace, shields g repub-
lican corrupter of the ballot box. How ?
By calling back the grand jury and adding
to the first instruction the charge that
''in order to convict it must be proved
the party advised acted on that advice" "
That settled it. From that moment Dud-
ley was safe But like all criminals he
was filed with fear and kept out OF In
diana. But at last he strobe boldly into
Indianapolis, and what was the result? It
is known. Dudley mocked the man who,
being a respectable citizen, filed a charge
of corrupting the ballot-box against him.
And well he might when the district at
torney-the peoples counsel, ordered the
warrant not served; when the court
Judge Woods on the bench-adj djourned to
tender Dudley a reception; when the
U. S. marshal took Dudley by the arm and
escorted him about the government build
ing; when the attorney-general-the at
torney for the people of Indana-took
Dudley under the shield of his buckler.
When the great ballot-box corrupter could
command such immunity as this what has
he to fear? Naughti
When Coy was pursued by this same
court the grand jury failed to find bill.
But new jury was summoned and bill
wrung out of it. The case was tried, and
the last time, this same Judge left his bench
and made speech to the jury demanding
the conviction of Coy. 1t was done.
How different it is when a republican
a national corruptor of the ballot-box-ap-
pears in the same court. For shamel BY
such conduct is that court with all its
officials disgraced and justice is outraged.
Politicians may applaud. but can honest
men approve? We think not

significance of a sentence to life imprison-
ment, and his lips twitched nervously dur
ing the colloquy that followed between
the attorneys and the court relative to
the motion for a new trial,
Martin Burke was unquestionably the
least affected Of all the prisoners. His
usually fiorid face took on a light pallor as
the verdict was announced, but a moment
later his jaws began the methOdical masti-
cation of gum as regularly as at any previ-
GUS time during the trial. AS the verdict
was announced and the large audience
contemplated little Kunze's grief, Beggs
turned to reporter and said.
1T is shame to sentence KunZe. The
poor little fellow, / think, is as innocent as
/ am. 1t is id shame to send him 80
thepenitentiary for three years. lie had no
more idea of being found guilty than you
had of being declared an accomplice TO this
crime"
In the meantime the comments among
the audience were as varied as were the
individuals that constituted the motley
assemblage that had gathered in morbid
curiosity TO hear the penalty pronounced
upon their fellow-men. OF the Irish in
the audience-and there were scores-the
two factions into which that people is di-
vided were naturally represented. The
friends and admirers of the murdered
physician were naturally indignant at the
verdict. ut is shame said the Hon.
2. w. Dunno, "a shame and travesty
upon Justice"
His sentiment found an echo in the
hearts OF dozen Irishmen who were near
him, while only a dozen feet away men,
bers of the other faction were congratu-
lating themselves and the prisoners that
the verdict had been no worse, and friends
of Beggs were elbowing their way through
to grasp the hands of the senior guardian
of camp 20 in felicitation upon his exOner-
alton. Beggs took seat in one of the jury
chairs after the retirement of that body
and spent the next half hour pleasantly,
according interviews TO the score of news
paper men that crowded around him.
Mr.. Forrest. on behalf OF the four con-
victed defendants, entered the accustomed
motion for new trial, and after consider
able discussion, the judge fixed Jan. Is as
the day on which the motion for a new
trial should be argued, and the prisoners
were taken back to jail. Kunze was still
crying, and went out of the door with
tears running down his face, and still NUT
tering and sobbing TO himself. Martin
Burke followed KunZe, and as he passed,
he whispered to Forrest and smiled. He
seemed entirely unconcerned. 0'Sullivan
followed, looking pale and sallow. Dan
Coughlin, the eX-detective, was the last of
the prisoners to leave, and as he stalked
out, he half turned and looked back into
the courtroom, as If expect ng to find
some friend. The doors changed behind
the bailifl who brougt up the rear, and
the Cronin trial was over.

Death OF Mrs. Cannon.

DANvnLE, H., Dec. 16.-ISpeciaL Mary
p, the wife of Congressman Joseph c. Cannon,
was found dead this morning by her daughter
Helen when she went to her mothers room to
announce breakfast. Mrs. Cannon presented
the appearance of enjoying gentle sleep, and
it was some time before the family could be-
come convinced that death had entered the
household. Mrs. Cannon had attended church
Sunday evening, singing in the choir, and had
remained up quite late to see her daughter,

in good health and her death was probably
caused by heart disease. Congressman Cannon

Lewiston, Mifiiin county, Pennsylvania, will
hold fair and festival beginning on Dec. 10.
Some time ago letters were sent TO several
prominent men of the country. asking them to
contribute something to be voted OIL at the fair.
1t was believed that the prominence or popu-
larty of the contributors would give the articles
q value beyond their intrinsic worth in the eyes
of the patrons of the fair, and cause active COM
petition TO secure them. The first to respond
to these requests was ex-President Cleveland
His letter in reply was read to the post, and
gave rise to some comment. and has even been
misrepresented for partisan purposes, to cor
rect which, by permission Of the writer, the tull
text of the letter is now given to the public. 1t
