Following up the line of thought sug'
gested by talking about prominent
mills in this country tbs mind instinc-
lively turns to the oldest one of great
importance in the Union, and that one
is the Gallego Mills.
These mills can almost look back over
a complete century since their estab-
lishment, having been first built by
Joseph Gallego in l79S, in the days OF
Oliver Evans. It's first location was a
mile and half above the city. on the
old James rver canal. In 1882 the
mill was removed by Il. j. Chevalie to
ITS present site, retaining the name of
'Gaiiego Mills, aud there IL stands to-
day at the foot of the basin, a survivor
OF the vicissitudes Of trade, a connect
ing link between old and new methods,
aud fitting monument OF the memory
Of the man who was its original builder.
The old and the new methods stand
side by side, each seperate and COM
piete in itself. making L field for con-
temptation that is unique.
Long before millers in other portions
OF the United States dreamed of an ex-
port trade, before Minneapolis had even
aname, and when its site was q trackless
wilderness, the Galiego mills were
grinding for foreign trade, and its pro-
ducts had a worldwide reputation
The fire fiend has not sighted the Gal
lego. In 1916 fire destroyed the mills,
and when General Lee took up his
march from Petersburg to Appomat-
tox Courthouse, and the Confederacy
evacuated Richmond, flames again fed |
upon the structure.

VIII Stay in Jail One Year.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Coughlin, Burke,
O'Sullivan and Kunze will sojourn for
the next year in the county Jail, instead
of going direct to Joliet penitentiary
after the motion for a new trial is for
mally overruled by Judge Mcconnell.
Already the record for the supreme
court ia in course Of preparation, and
the issuance of a supersedeas will oper-
ate as a d~etainer, and compel Sheriff
Matson to keep the convicted men as
his guests until the supreme court has
finally passed upon the case. 1t is
thought likely, however. that the little
German will prefer TO take his medicine
rather than to have his case appealed.
Under the good conduct rule his
term of imprisonment will not be more
than twenty more months, and il he is
sent down after the formal sentence has
been passed in January he will have
served one-third Of his term before the
supreme court has been enabled TO
render its decision. There is a mis-
taken impression that in the event OF
the convicted men being granted a new
trial they stand the risk of being sen
fenced TO death by another jury. This
is altogether 1t has already
been decided by the supreme court that
when the original trial jury has fixed
the penalty at Imprisonment a second
jury cannot infict the death penalty.
The prisoners therefore have nothing TO
fear and a good deal to hope for, in an
appeal TO the supreme court.

More Arrests Made.

LONDON, Dec. I9.-As a result OF the
recen examination in connection with
the west end scandal before the magis-
trate at the Bow street police court
Monday last, q m has been issued
for the arrest of a solicitor named
Arthur Newton, q clerk in his employ,
named Gaylor, and a interpreter named
Degala, for conspiring to defeat justice.
1t is understood that Newton obtained
funds for Hammond, the proprietor Of
the Cleveland street house. in which the
scandal occurred, and for whose arrest
a warrant was issued, and assisted him
in reaching America.
Preliminary TO the demand in parlia-
ment, when that body shall assemble,
that the government take official cogni-
anc of the West End club scandals,
Labouchere has published in Truth a
scorching review Of the infamy, which
is the most thorough exhibit of the rot
tenness of a certain class of English
aristocracy that any journal has yet
dared to place before its readers. While,
of course, no names are mentioned, the
readers cannot fail to recognize the per-
sons most likely to be called TO account.
One peer implicated, Labouchere as
serts, has already tacitly admitted his
guilt by not only leaving the country
but seeking congenial associations in
the service of the sultan of Turkey.

A Gorilla and Bull Dog Fight.

FoRr WAYNE, Ind, Dec. Is.-The
long-talked-of fight between the African
gorilla, owned by w. W.. Stewart, of this
,ity, and the thoroughbred English
bull dog Jack" owned in Marion, Ind,
for $500 q side, came of early this morn
Ing neal Van Vert, o., twenty miles
east of this city. The fight was a most
brutal exhibition and was won easily by
the ape. Jack" weighed forty pounds
while the gorilla was nearly twice as
heavy. The fight took place in an open
pen l2 feet square and 8 feet high. As
soon as the animals faced each other
the dog fastened his teeth in the apes
neck, but seemed unable to penetrate
the thick hide Of the latter. Quick a. q
fash the gorilla had the dog in his long
arms and broke his back by main
strength. He sunk his long tusks re-
peatedly into the neck and spine Of the
bull dog, until the blood flowed in
streams. The dog was utterly helpless
and his owner threw up the sponge to
ave him from being killed just as the
dog fell over dead. The gorilla. infuri-
ated from the fight was with difficulty
put back into his cage. The betting was
quite heavy, but with odds largely In
favor Of the goilla. The spectators
quickly scattered TO escape the sheriff's
posse, which had been gathered to pre-
vent the brutal sport.

SULLIVAN WEAKENING.
II Is Thought That lie Can Make Nc
Important Disclosures,

But II Is Thought That He Can Make No
Important Disclosures.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-A turnkey in the
Cook county Jail today told a friend that
as he was passing the cell in which Ice
man o'Sullivan, n of the Cronin MUIR
derers, is confined two nights ago., he
heard the inmate say:
Il cannot face my maker with this
load upon my mind"
The turnkey stepped to the door and
saw the iceman lying on his cot with
his face close TO the wall. The prisoner
seemed to be in pain.
What's the matter, Mr. OSullivan?"
asked the turnkey.
O'Sulliyan started up in bed and
turned a pale and haggard face toward
the questioner. lie stared with his
deeply sunken eyes at him and for sew
erai moments did not answer.
Nothing he said at last, his old
scowl returning, and then flung himself
upon his cot again and buried his face
in the pillow.
The occurrence but strengthened the
opinion that for some time had been en-
t~crtained, that the iceman is on the
verge Of breaking down. OF. the four
prisoners he has borne the effects of the
trial and sentence with the least resist
ance. Physically weakened by IN
sumption, the verdict of the jury fell
upon him with crushing effect. During
the trial he was greatly buoyed up by the
hope of acquittal held out to him by
his lawyer. Several times he was,
those who watched him thought, on
the point of making q confession, but
his counsel's cheering words reused him
from his Respondent mood. The verdict
found him completely u~nprepared and
unnerved him. lie himself does not
believe he will live long under the
strain. Those who, since his arrest,
have become familiar with his appear
ance, look daily for a confession. The
value of a confession from O'Sullivan
will depend upon how much he knows.
On the outside 1t is thought that unless
Coughlin took him entirely into his
confidence his knowledge embraces only
the events since the formation Of the
conspiracy down to the present, SO lar
as they concern the four prisoners and
Cooney and Simmonds. With tho
head center or dot within the inner
circle, 1t is not thought that he had any
communication.

II served Him Right.

JEFFERSON CRY, No.. Dec. 19.--Much
interest was manifested here yesterday
in the Hofer murder, which took place on
the Epperson farm Monday, five miles
below Barkersville, in Galloway county.
The girl Louisa Epperson seemed to
have public sentiment with her, and the
developments in the case appear to
show that she was justified in taking
the life of Hofer. The facts were
brought out at the c~oroner's inquest
held at the Epperson house. The pros
ecuting attorney of the county attended
the inquest. The girl when put on the
stand swore that Hofer accused her of
receiving imprope r advances from
Ackeman, the young man who visited
her Sunday night. She resented the
accusation and as Hofer became more
pointed in his remarks she informed
him that if he dared TO insinuate any
thing against her character she would
vindicate her honor in a forcible man
ner. She left Hofer and at moo the
latter made his appearance before the
regular dinner hour. There arc two
separate houses 20 the Epperson home.
one of which is used for kitchen and
dining room purposes. Hofer, the girl
testified, approached her while she was
in the house used as a living place and
again said he knew that she and Acker-
man had sustained an illicit relation.
He followed this up with an improper
proposal and attempted to throw her on
the floor. The girl showed bruises
about her neck TO ~substantiate her asser-
tons. She screamed for assistance and
Hofer left her. A colored man named
Tom Williams drove up on a wagon at
this time. She asked him why he did
not come when he heard her cry. The
negro said he did o hear her. The
girl Mas much excited and declared that
as her father and mother were away she
would settle matters herself. The
hands sat down 10 dinner and Miss Ep-
derson went to her fathers room and
took down his pistol. She then walked
into the dining room and shot lIofer
dead. Her story was corroborated by
tue other witnesses and the jury re-
turned a verdict of justifable homicide.
The feeling was very high against
Hofer in that part of the county, and
the sentiment served him right" is
the prevailing one. There is little
doubt but that Hofer would have been
lynched If the girl had not shot him.

In a hurriedly asked the clerk if there
was a telephone in the store. The clerk
pointed out the instrument and the
stranger walked over to it, and, taking
the ear trumphet in his hand, deliber-
ately placed it to his left eye, closing
the other meanwhile. He seemed puz-
Eled that he did not see the object of mis-
search, and at length, when somebody
pointed out that the telephone was for
speaking and hearing through, he
roared as loudly as he could into the
orifce of the ear arrangement. His an
noyance and disappointment at the re-
peated failures were fully compensated
for when he was placed on the right
track.

The convention will be organized

sHrPLEY's CONDITION.



Organize the Iowa House.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Dec. 1s--There ID
considerable concern as to the outcome
of the injuries which Representative
Shipley received In his fight q few
weeks ago. 1t Is known that he is in q,
critical condition, and IL be should be
unable to take his seat at the opening
OF the legislature the democrats could
organize the house and elect the speaker.
IL he should die there will not be-
time for q special election before the
date when the legislature is TO meet.
The law requires that in case OF q spe-
cial election TO fill a vacancy, the gov
ernor shall issue his proclamation for
IL thirty days in advance. The general
assembly will meet Monday, January -.
SO, IL a vacancy is TO be filled, It
viii hardly be practicable TO have tho
special election in time for tho new
member to take his seat at the begin
ming OF the legislature. Representative
Shipley may not die, and no special
election may be needed. His friends all
hope that he will not. But in view of
his serious condition it Is nat
ural that the possibility Of such am
event should be discussed, especially
with the legislature so close as ii is. IL
seems 10 be the misfortune of the re-
publicans TO have accidents when they
need every possible vote. In 1884,
when the prohibitory law was passed,
and the republicans had but one major
ity in the house, one of the republican
members broke his leg and had TO be
carried 10 the house on a stretcher and
sleep in the building for several weeks
in order 10 be present to vote.
