Anarchists Scatter an In

The HaWeS Murder Trial Re-
suits in a Verdict Of
Guilty.

CHICAGO, May 3.-To-day was another
deposition day in the Carter divorce
case. The evidence adduced in the
form of dispositions related principally
to Mrs. Carter's money accounts with
Barring Bros. & Co., of London, and
Kidder, Peabody & Co., of New York
and Boston. Henry briggs, manager of
the New York branch of Kidder, Pea
body & Co.: Walter Lambert, formerly
of the same firm; Joseph W. McCurdy.
of DreXel, Morgan d Co., and William
Parsons, of the firm of De Wolf & Par
sons, brokers of New York, were the
depOnentS. From the testimony of all
these persons, which was very lengthy
and dealt in complicated figures, it ap-
peared that VIM. Constable, Jr., during
the years of 1885 and 1856, deposited
with Kidder, Peabody & Co., through L.
w. Pearsall & Co., and DeWolf q
Parsons, cash in the sum of about $4S,-
900, which was to be held to the credit
amount was bought by Constable in eX-
changes on Barring Bros. & Co., in
London. Besides this sum there was
SO, 400, first deposited in the New York
Office of Kidder, Peabody & Co., but
subsequently transferred to their Bos-
ton house. The deposition of John NJ.
Otter, manager of the Colonnade hotel.
New York, refutes Mrs. Carter's testi-
mony that she paid for two rooms in
September, 1886, for two lady friends of
Kyrle Bellew, who were coming from
Europe. Manager Otter testifies that
Mrs. Carter occupied one of the rooms.
and Bellew the other, from Sept. II to
Sept. 90. Court then adjourned.

SMITH TURNS UP.

The Centennial Was Too Much for
the Paymaster.
New YORK, May 3.-Henry r. Smith,
the missing paymaster of the United
States corvette Essex, was found at his
mothers residence, No. 1854 West Four
teenth street. to-day, in very precari-
GUS condition, the result of centennial
over-indulgence. Smith left the Essex
on Thursday, the 25th, the day after the
craft arrived from three years. cruise
on the Asiatic coast. A large sum, of
money was due the men, and Smith
went to the subtreasury and drew $1,000
with which to pay the crew an Install
ment. He spent the night at the GilSey
house and placed the money in the safe.
Next day he received the cash, and
that was the last seen Of him.
Mrs. Smith says her son came
home, and in a partly crazed condition
He appeared to have been drinking
heavily. She persuaded him to retire,
but after being in bed a few hours he
arose and attempted to commit suicide
by shooting. After that she watched
him closely, but he made no further at
tempt on his life. His wife arrived
to-day from San Francisco. 1t is re
ported that Smith had had some differ
ence with his wife, and that this and
her expected arrival here were the
causes of his disappearance and at
tempt upon his life. Smith was in too
bad a condition to-day to tell what dis
position he made of the EsseX's money.
His accounts are perfectly straight.
The case has been reported to the naval
authorities.

On the 11th of November, 1887, free

OFFICIALLY lNDORSED.
President Harrison Approves Ma.
jOr Lydecker'S Sentence,

WASHINGTON, May s. President
Harrison has approved the findings and
sentence of the general court-martial
which recently tried Major Lydecker
for neglect of duty in experimenting
the construction of the Washington
aqueduct tunnel. The sentence of the
court is as follows: ''To forfeit to the
United States one hundred dollars per
month of his pay for nine months, and
to be reprimanded in orders. The court
is thus lenient in view of the evidence
before it, that, in spaces so confined as
those above the arch in the tunnel,
it was almost impossible to secure
thoroughly good work under the
contract system imposed by law"
President Harrison, in approx
ing the findings and sentence of
findings and sentence of the court
martial in the case of Maj. Garrett j.
Lydecker, of the corps of engineers,
are approved and will be carried into
effect. The gravamen of the Otfense of
this officer was the neglect of very
high and important duty. 1t is not
very important from military stand
point whether pecuniary loss did or
did not result to the government. But
that very great loss and inconvenience
have been inflicted upon the community
by the delays which have resulted from
the failure to discover promptly the
faulty and fraudulent character of the
work is apparent. The suggestion that
the strictest and most faithful super
vision of the progress of such work is
powerless to detect and correct the
shams which are practiced by the con-
tractors in this case is discredit to the
engineering profession and entirely in
admissible. The sentence imposed by
the court seems to have given full
effect to every suggestion that might
mitigate the offence"

A Duke and Not Big Enough.

LONDON w Oriu.
The late Duke of Buckingham told a
very amusing story against himself
once in the house of lords apropos to
railway matters. When he joined the
London and Northwestern board, on
the day of the first meeting after his
election he went to EuSton square to
attend it. He was too early. and on
asking porter who was hang
ing about where the directors
room was, he was told that he had
come too soon, and went away. On
returning some time later he again
found the same man. who gave him the
same information. After a long interval
the duke again came across his friend,
whom he questioned as to whether the
directors were not sitting. The man,
very much irritated at being so often ac-
costed. looked at him and said: There's
no use you coming about place here;
you arn't big enough" The duke en-
joyed the joke thoroughly. and often
spoke of the incident with great glee.

In the Celebrated Hill-Sharon
Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Argument
was begun before the supreme court of
California to-day on an appeal of Fred
erick Sharon from the orders of the
lower court, denying the motion for a
new trial in the celebrated Sharon di-
vorce case. Frederick Sharon, the ex-
ecutor of the estate. was made the re-
spondent in the case on the death of ex-
Senator William Sharon in 1885. On
Feb. 81 last, Sharon's counsel
moved that the alleged contract of mar
riage, on which Sarah Althea Hill NOW
the wife of Judge David S. Terry,
based her claims to part of the Sharon
estate, be produced in court, and can
celed, agreeable to decree of the
United States circuit court, dated Sept.
%, 1885. The supreme court
to-day granted the motion, but sensa-
ton occurred when Judge Terry arose
and said that this famous document was

his library at Fresno, OH the night of
