edRe of the water the bo6nds were almost
upon him and instead OF swimming
sctcss no turned and faced the dogs and
snapped at thnm. The latter were go
astonished at the action of ReynaFd that

MIpDnETowN, Feb. 5..--Voluntser Hose
Company and numerous guests were
given big supper by Alexander Maxwell
at his hotel last night. The menu CON
sisted Of oysters, chicken salad, coffee,
terrapin, biecrita, &C., and to say that

lightly. The occasion will long be re-

Dan Cochran, welI-known farmer
residing near here, came to town last
Night and some time during the evening
| his team WINS stolen. He learned Ehet it
was aeen going in the direction of Odessa
with two opiored men as the drivers, and
he with another gentleman BET out to ook
up the stolen property. Mr.. Cochran
and his companion inst this oolcred men
ia ms team On the way over to Odessa,
and they vera returning home. He
turned around and followed them for @
short distances AVID then pulled up his
team closs to the solored men. One OF
tho latter jumped from the wagon and
ran off but the other one WAS cap
| tuEsd, and for few minutes was
handled in manner that will doubtless
| convince him it ID better to walk than TO
| ride in a stolen gshiole He told Mr..
Cochran the name Of the man that ran
! off, and said he was the Que who had first
taken the team. The man that YVES caught
said ne was invited to take ride by his
! colored friend and did not know the team
had been stolen. When the trio were
| about to return homo the c,7lored man
succeeded in getting away from his cap
tor, and made good his escape. Tho
team wns recovered by MIR. Cochran, but
both the men got away. They will doubt
leas be arrested.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 2O.-A jury in the
probate court here decided that Homer G.
Brown is sane, and he has been granted his
liberty Mr. Brown is 60 years old, and for
the last twenty years he has been confined
in different asylums in this county. For the
last eight years he has been in the custody
Of his brother, Wilson II. Brown, now OF
this city, who sought to have him again con-
fined in an asylum here, and it was his ef-
forts to do SO that brought about the trial
and Browns release. Homer Brown is one
Of four brothers, and the others are all rich.
The belief is strong in the minds of the
court, expert physicians and others that the
man has been prosecuted all his life for
property reasons. Homer Brown is about
broken down from his confinement, but has
at last gained liberty and will go where he

Be Speaks of His Relations with Annie,
the Murdered Girl.
CAMDEN, n. j., Feb. 20. I'm the Leconey
murder trial the defense called Chalkley
Leconey, the prisoner, to the stand. LEGO
ney, who was calm and collected, told about
the life led by himself and his brother,
Richard, now dead, at the farm; how Annie
Leconey, bis niece came from Waverley,
o., to keep house for them after his moth
er's death; how he and his brother bought
presents for Annie, and tried to make her
life at the farm pleasant. He said that he
sent Murray, his farm hand, on Sunday
night down to Lingo TO get him to come to
work the next morning Murray returned
that night at II o'clock and said Lingo was
coming They got up early in the morn
ing and he did the chores while Annie
cooked breakfast
He swore that he last saw Annie alive in
the kitchen as he went out TO 60 down into
the citron patch, and that the first he knew
OF the murder was when James Laverty
came down into the field and told him.
The prisoner, continuing this line Of testi-
mony, said be could not ride the horse all
the way because his back was weak. He
had been suffering from weak back for
ten years and physicians had been treating
| him. When he first reached the house he
sat down on the side porch few minutes to
collect himself
William Laverty and ! went in, said
Leconey. ~ looked at the body and felt her
left wrist could feel no pulsation. ]
went out doors few minutes and then came
back and went upstairs / saw my keys in
the chest, and upon examination, found that
sos in gold and over 800 in notes had been
stolen.n
Witness described his clothing and identi-
fled the trousers he wore on the day Of the
murder. he said those having the blood
stains on were not his, but his brothers He
did not change his clothing, and did not see
Billy Smith the day Of the murder Witness
did not believe Smith was over half witted.
Leconey admitted that he told Constable
Naylor that he suspected Francis Lingo Of
being the murderer.

AdJt. Gen. Porter's Annual Report 60 the
Legislature.
albany, Feb. 20. --Adjt Cen Porter's an
nual report was presented 10 the legislature
today. In it the adjutnnt says: "The M
tional Guard now comprises fourteen regi-
ments, one battalion and forty-five separate
companies Of infantry, five batteries Of ar
tillery, one troop Of cavalry and two signal
corps The quarterly returns Of Sept 90
show that on that date there were in service
744 officers and l3,47s enlisted men, making
an aggregate Of IL, 222 officers and men. Bet
ter evidence Of an increasing interest in mill
tary matters, and Of a desire on the part Of
the young men Of the state TO enter its mill
tary service, is found in the large number
Of applications, coming from all parts OF the
state, for authority to raise companies bat
teries or troops. The National Guard is
limited by law to 1900 enlisted men, a
number believed 70 be sufficient for all prac-
tical purposes, at least for the present
"The need Of new rifles to replace the
Remington is urgent but the time has not
| yet arrived when it can be determined what
the rifle or even what its caliber shall be.
II is announced BY the United States ord
nance department that thirty caliber rife,
which is entirely satisfactory, has been
made, and that thirty caliber magazine
arm is in process Of construction, but un-
fortunately the status Of the powder ques-
tion resulting from the advent Of the so-
called smokeless powder, leaves the ques-
tion Of what the new small arm should be
still unsettled Under the law, as it now
stands, the counties are required TO provide
armories for organizations within their linn
its, furnish heat aud light, and pay for
armorers, engineers and janitors.
"There seems to be no reason why these
burdens should be imposed upon the county
treasures The National Guard is q state
force, and its maintenance, it would appear,
should be borne fairly and equally by the
whole state Moreover, as military con-
sideration, it is submitted that the armories,
which are in fact military posts should be
directly under the charge and control Of the
state Surprising progress has been made
in rife practice. In some organizations
nearly every officer and man has qualified
as a marksman. Great credit is due to the
jealous and efficient general inspector and
the brigade and regimental inspectors Of
rife practice"
