TIME OF TRAINS:
A PRIEST MURDERED.
Stabbed While Asleep in His Bed by Man
Whom He Had Previously Befriended.

MEMPHIS Tenn, Feb. ia terrible
tragedy was enacted early this morning,
which resulted in the killing of Father
Ashfield, o Catholic priest connected with
st. Peters Cathedral. 1t seems that sew
eral months ago Al Reeves a young man
well known about town, was confined in
jail on account of mental troubles Father
Ashteld visited him in the Jail and was in
strumental in having him released after a
short confinement. A strong friendship
grew up between them, and Reeves was
frequent caller at the priests house. which
adjoins the Cathedral. This morning at 6
o'c0ck Reeves rang the bell of
the house, and when the door
was opened he pushed the porter
aside and went direct to father Ashfield's
room. The porter thought him drunk and
ran to the station-house which is only a
square distant, for police officer. When
the two returned they found Reeves sitting
on the floor. caressing the head of the
priest, who was dead. 1t was evident that
Reeves had stabbed him while asleep. as
the bed was covered with blood Three
wounds, all Just over the heart, were
found, any one of which would have been
fatal The weapon used was an ordinary
pocket knife. When asked why he had
committed the deed Reeves replied, "God
told me to do it." At the station house he
said, He was my best friend, and as was
going away / wanted him to join me-.
The dead priest was about fifty years old
and came to Memphis two years ago.

WHITE CAPS ON TRIAL.
Eleven Monroe County Citizens Charged with
Severely Whipping VIM. Norman.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. u.--To-day the

John Norman, John Carson, Hezekiah Nor

Frank Norman, Isaac Sipes, jr., and VIM.
Stacklather. who are charged with being
the White Caps who almost beat VIM. Nor
man to death, last May, was begun in the
Circuit Court. The interest is intense,
people attending from all parts of the
county. After an hour jury was selected
from a special venire, and the taking of
evidence began. The first witness was
'Wm. Norman, the plaintiff" and he told
his terrible experience without hesitation.
His story is full of interest, and is SUBJ
stantially as follows: One Tuesday night
IN May, about II o'clock, he with his
n' knock that were forced d""tdns0 ths door OF
to the floor. Six masked men en-
tered and began shooting. They knocked
riestoye over, put out the light, then
stripped. him of his clothing, and began
beating him with switches and clubs. Two
of the men held his wife by his side, and
both begged for mercy. but they only
overcome with exhaustion they blindfOld-
ed him, threatening that they would shoot
him if he tried to see them or offered to
give evidence in court. He was almost
1ifeless on the ground when his family
carried him to the house, where he was un-
able to move on the bed for three weeks.
Mrs. Norman, the wife, testified sub
stantially as above, and the daughter said
that she hid in a brush-pile to save her
life, and could hear them beating and
swearing at her father.
Tomorrow will be occupied by the de-
PENDANTS. who will use the alibi as a de-
fenSe. The case creates great interest, and
the decision will be important in the legal
history of the State, as this is the first trial
of any Importance where an effort has

JUDGE BARRETTS TRUST DECISION.
He Denies the Application of the Dissolved
Corporation for a Stay of Proceedings.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Judge Barrett, of
the Supreme Court, to-day handed down an
opinion in which he denies the application
of the North River Sugar Refining Com
pany, the recently dissolved member of the
SugarTrust, for stay of proceedings pend
ing appeal to the general term: He says:
''The only proceeding upon the Judgment
which can be stayed by a statutory. under
taking is the issuing of an execution for
the collection of the costs. In other re-
spects the Judgment of dissolution is self
executing. An order staying proceedings
upon the judgment would not restore the
corporation to life, nor would it absOlve it's
officers from obedience to our Injunction.
The appeal continues the situation precise
ly as it is. The corporation is still dissolved
and its officers still under the prohibition
contained in the Judgment. There they
must remain until reversal. Meanwhile,
the property must besecured and protected.
That duty devolves upon the receiver, and
can be performed by him alone. The court
will undoubtedly instruct him to make no
sale or distribution of the property pending
appeal. To that extent the defendants
may take an order upon the present appli-
cation. In other respects the application
is deniedv

AMERICAN WIFE FOR BOULANGER.
If the French Politician Obtains Divorce He
Will Marry a st. Louis Woman.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE Republic this
morning announces that it has good reasons
to believe that if General Boulanger, the
central political figure in France at pres
ent, obtains divorce from his wife, he
will shortly thereafter marry the divorced
wife of Joseph d. Lucas of this city. The
lady in question was, before marriage,
Miss Fannie McLaren, daughter of Col.
Charles McLaren, one of the old and promi-
nent citizens of st. Louis. Her union with
Mr.. Lucas, whose father, James II.
Lucas, was the wealthiest man in this
and she obtained divorce year or more
ago. since when she has been in Europe and
is now in Italy. She is very handsome
and accomplished woman, and first

1881, at reception given to the dele
CATION of French notables who came to
this country to participate in the celebra-
tion of the centennial of the battle of
Yorktown. He is said to have been much
impressed with her beauty on that occa-
sion. Later he met her again in this city,
and it is said that he has improved this ac-
quaintance since Mrs. Lucas has been in

Prospect for Thompson's Confirmation Not
So Bright as 1t Was on Saturday.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-Ex-Civil-servic
Commissioner Edgerton, who was officially
decapitated on Saturday, was about the
Capitol to-day, and report was current
that the two Senators from his State
Messrs. Voorhees, and Turpie-would lead
the opposition to the confirmation of
Thompson. Indiana Democrats IN the
House are somewhat indignant over Edger-
toms removal, and at least two or three of
them do not hesitate to say that the ap-
pointment of the South Carolina manis the
result of trick intended to keep him in
the Office under the incoming admins
tration. They say if Thompson had been
appointed to fill the vacancy already
existing on the board, that as between the
two Democrats, Edgerton and Thompson,
who would be members of the commission
