ANOTHER CASE.
The outrages in Washington County
Texas.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The resolution
reported by the committee on elections as
the result of the investigation into the Wash
ington county, Texas, outrages was
again taken up In the Senate
today and Mr.. Evarts proceeded with
his argument in its support. He began by
review of the canvass and election in WASH
ington county, Texas, in 1886. A well con-
ceived and clearly expressed petition from
three prescribed Republicans, Messrs.
Hawksworth, Elmore aud Schultz had been
presented to the Senate. After the reading
OF the petition, Mr.. Evarts said the griev-
ances which the petitioners suffered had no
other cause than the activity of the petition
ers In that canvass In support Of the prin-
ciples OF the Republican party. The COM
mittee had found that those citizens could
not be accused Of any misconduct, such as
should place them outside the ordinary re-
lations which belong to peaceful and
of the white population of Washington
county, Texas, was composed of Germans,
who were good farmers aud good citizens.
One thousand and six hundred Of these Ger
mans were Republicans. Calculated Of the
white voters alone, this was a Republican
majority of 800 to 500. The black and white
population was about equal in numbers.
The Republican party had been In possess
sion OF local power In the county, from the
close Of the war, up to 1884, when more Wig
orous effort was made on the part of those
opposed to that party to give supremacy to
the opposite party. There had been grave
Interference with the suffrage at four pre-
cincts in the county at that election, and the
conflict ended In the success of the opponents
OF the Republican party. He recited various
details Of the troubles at the polls In 1884 and
1886 and read paragraph from the report of
the committee. He said the great question
came to be whether there was to be tolerated
in this country an authority and persistent
power which was to set aside the government
Of the constitution and the laws.
Mr.. Coke obtained the floor and the Senate
proceeded to executive business and adjourn
ed at 5.55.

NearIy a MILLION Involved.

DOVER, N. H.. Feb. I3.-The we'll known
Hiram Barker will case of Pennington came
up this morning before the Supreme Court,
Judge Blodgett presiding. This is the most
celebrated case ever tried In this section, and
includes about $4,000 worth Of property.
The contestants claim that the will was
made while in a state Of unsound mind and
also under undue influence.
The will, to say the least. is very peculiar
one. 1t leaves most Of the property to the
children Of q son Hiram when they reach
the age Of 80 years, and at present they are
only small childr en-. 1t also only leaves him
$1,000 per annum. Eighteen names were
called before jury could be impanelled.
j. M. Hayes OF Dover, being the foreman.
The FIRST witness on the stand was George
N. Eastman, who drew the will and codlcils.
He claimed that the testator was sick, but in
full command of his senses. This closed the
forenoon session. A large crowd Of speeta-
tors were present TO hear the case. II Is liza
BILE to run for eight or ten days. as there are
about $50 witnesses.

some three years ago in the United States cir
cult court at Portland and verdict rendered

not bona fide holder of the bonds, residing
without the State. There Is great deal Of
interest manifested In this suit. The bonds,
representing some $4,000. were issued about
