GUILTY, BUT INSANE.
That ls the Verdict Reached in the Case of
the Trunk Robber-A Boken Nose
Caused All of His
TroubIe.

CHICAGO, March Thomas R. Vines.
the clerk who had himself shipped in
trunk to St. Louis with S4, ,062 stolen from
his employers, Adams, Westlake & Co., was
to-day tried for the act. The defense was
insanity. DR.. Fenger testified that less
than year ago Vines nose was injured in
sparring match. The organ was properly
dressed, but the patient seemed extremely
n ervous, ana expressed great fear that his
beauty would be forever spoiled
"He called on me again." said the wit
ness, 'and insisted upon my performing an
other operation. He was morbidly sensi
tive. and it was in vain that told him that
no operation was necessary. 1 finally had
to dress the nose in order to quiet him. A
short time later he again called on me and
wanted me to attend to the matter at once.
He was almost insane then, and thought of
nothing else but his injured nose. I tried
to convince HIM that no further operation
was necessary, but it was no use. and to
save his MIND had to operate on it again. %
DR.. Clevinger, an insanity expert, testi-
fed that he had visitedVines frequentiyin the
Jail, and the Young mans actions showed in
sanity. His conduct after his injury alone
tended to show this. The jury was out but
few minutes, and returned a verdict to
the effect that Vines was guilty as charged.
but was insane at the time, and had not vet
recovered. The Court ordered that he be
sent to Kankakee asylum, and there be kept
until cured.

THURSTON is CHOSEN.
The Nebraska Lawyer is President of the
Republican League of Clubs-The
Next Meeting Will be Mt Nash
viIle-Vigorous Resolutions.


BALTIMORE, March 1.-The Convention
of the National League of Republican
Clubs reconvened this morning at IL o'clock.
The Committee on Resolutions, made a
lengthy report, which was unanimously
adopted. Among other things, it says:
By many conservative members of our party
our work of organization year ago was re-
garded as doubtful experiment, but the re-
suits attained prove the success of the expert
ment and have not only disarmed our critics,
but have challenged their admiration of our
methods. Recognizing the importance of the
agency which, but year old, has accomplished
SO much, we earnestly urge all clubs composing
the State leagues not only to continue as per-
manent educational factors, but to strengthen
their opportunities for active work so that what
has been accomplished shall be but the earnest
of what may be anticipated for the future.
We recognize in the Congressional provision
for the immediate admission to the Union of
the four new States of South Dakota, North
Dakota, Montana and Washington the first
glorious fruits of the recent national Republi-
can victory, and we welcome them into the
sisterhood of Republican States, whose mis-
sion is to secure and maintain American lib
erty and prosperity. And as it has been the
policy of the Republican party to recognize the
Just claim of any Territory to admission, we
confidently anticipate a continuance of that
policy in the future.
The convention then proceeded to the
election of the President of the league.
President James P. Foster, of New York,
put in nomination Judge John NJ Thurston,
of Nebraska, who speedily was declared the
unanimous choice Of the league. The rules
were suspended to allow the unanimous re-
election of Andrew b. Humphrey, of New
York, as Secretary and Phineas c. Lownes-
bury, of Connecticut, as Treasurer.
The Executive Committee was instructed
to revise the constitution in such respects as
it may deem necessary, and present the re-
vision at the next annual onvention, which,
it was decided, will be held in Nashville at
such time as the Executive Committee may
select. The convention then adjourned.

General Harrison Used to be a Caller o.
President Cleveland.
Even in Washington many persons think
of Mr.. Harrison as man who was Senator

and called on him more than once CleYe-

the Woodmont fiat, middle.elass apart

chatted about shopping, and dresses, and
teething babies, and all the rest every day.
Mrs. Harrison had many friends there, and
she has received them all within the last
day or two, and asked all about. the new
babies that have come and the other things
that used to interest her in the old days.

A DEFAULTER'S HAUL.
The Seed Company President Gets Away
With 100000, Including Borrowed
Money-Charges of Collision With
the Agricultural Department.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
NEW YORK, March From the best in
formal obtainable to-day. the amount of
money which should have gone to the A.
B. Cleveland Company, and which Presi-
dent A. B. Cleveland appropriated to his
own use before he disappeared, is
in the neighborhood of $4,000. A story
was current to-day that legal action had
been begun against Mr.. Cleveland for con-
spiracy, and that he had agreed to meet the
plaintiffs in January. but had not done so.
Mr.. Haid said regarding this:
81 did hear last June that certain parties
who were competitors in the seed trade had
begun some such action. 1t was against
Mr.. Cleveland personally, and others, but
not against the company. 1 believe it was
founded on a charge of mixing seeds
'What does mixing seeds mean?"
'I couldn't explain it adequately in half
an hour, but briefly it means putting seeds
in envelopes which did not state their actual
contents on the outside. I think the whole
affair amounted to nothing. Ihave not heard
of it since summer"
1t was intimated by rival houses that Sec
retary Norman j. Colman, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, was great friend of
Mr.. Cleveland, and that ever since the pres
ent administration has been in power in
Washington the A. B. Cleveland Company
had been the sole source of supply to the
Department of Agriculture.
"There have been many charges to this
effect printed in the trade papers for four
years back" said a scotsman, "and the
company has replied that many other firms
participated in Govergment patronage, but
it is generally known that other houses
which sent seeds to Washington were them
selves supplied by Cleveland"
The story that large quantity of turnip
seeds sold to the Government at 80 cents
were purchased at cents by Mr.. Cleveland,
because they were old and worthless, is cur
rent among seedsmen. The officers of the
company declare the story false.
Among those from whom Mr.. Cleveland
borrowed money is Treasurer Stearns. 1t is
said that Mr.. Cleveland borrowed from him
at various times! which aggregates between
$4,000 and $4,000, large part of
which was lent just previous to
his fight. Another gentleman is said to
have lent Mr.. Cleveland $4,000. Mr..
Cleveland's father is quoted as saying that
