CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 1.-The ex-
element in the Loconey murder
trial is growing more intense.
The father and mother of the MUIR
dered girl were in court. The prisoner
sat between them.
Garrett Murray, the colored farm
hand, who gave such damaging evidence
against the prisoner Saturday, was sub
jected to a merciless cross-eXamination
He said that when his employer came
out he left the kitchen door ajar, as it
was found after the murder.
The witness denied that the last time
he saw the murdered girl he was stand
ing in the porch feeding the dog. He
also denied that he had made this
statement to several witnesses.
These witnesses stood up in the court
to confront the prisoner. They will
be brought on by the defence to con-
tradict his testimony.
There were several tilts between the
Court and Counsellor Gray for the de-
fence. and moro exceptions were taken
than during all the previous days.

Against Carver and Cody.
NEW York. Nov. 1O.--Painted Horse,
one of the Indians from the st. Cloud
agency who was with DR.. Carver's
show in Europe, arrived here Saturday
on the steamer Augusta Victoria. To-
day, in the presence of Gen. O'Beirne,
he made long statement in which he
charged both Carver and Buffalo Bill
with great cruelty toward the Indians
under their charge. Painted Horse said
he was repeatedly tied up until he could
endure no further suffering; that he
was fed upon 'stinking meat" and
other things wholly unfit for food: that
his money was taken from him,
and when he asked its return
he received only s.. He said
the other Indians were also shamefully
treated, and were frequently fired upon
with both blank and ball cartridges and
badly wounded. They were permitted
to have all the whisky the wanted. and
when under its influe ence they often
fought among themselves. Gen.
OBeirne has copy of the agreement
entered into by the Carver combination
in which good treatment to the Indian
is specified particularly as one of the
conditions of their engagement. A
copy of Painted Horses statement will
be prepared and forwarded to the sec
retary of the interior, and to the Indian
commissioners. According to the latest
adviceS, Buffalo Bill's Indians will ar
rive in Philadelphia next Thursday.

Sa1oonkeepers Who Lost On Ray

The police commission met yesterday
morning just as if its methods had not
been overwhelmingly denounced last
Tuesday. The most important business
done was the decision that the saloon
keepers who lost money through
License Inspector hRay cannot be ac-
cOmmodated longer. The saloonkeeperS
must pay up, or be prosecuted. There
were three charges against patrolmen
to be heard. Thomas West, OF the
Third precinct. was reported as absent
from his beat by Sergt. Allen, between
1:30 and $3.50 Friday morning. John
krittum, OF the same precinct, admitted
that he was asleep on his beat. The
most serious complaint, however. was
that preferred against Officer Thorberg-
son by Officer erich. The two engaged
in a quarrel on Western avenue last
Thursday evening, and the latter
knocked ThOrbergsOn down, after
accusing him of being intoxicated and
being abseut from his beat. Thorberg-
son has filed complaint against Crich,
and denies the charges of intOXicatiOn
etc. Both, Thorbergson and iCrich,
were fined SIS each, and Krittum $10
The commission turned over to the
relief fund S61S.32, which had been re-
celved from various sources by the

CHICAGO, Ill.,. Nov. 10.-The princi

discussed IN worlds fair circles is that
whether the colored people shall have
separate exhibit OF any show at all at
the coming exposition. The representa-
tive colored people of Chicago will hold
a meeting on next Wednesday at
Bethesda church to discuss that ques-
ton. Protests are coming from all over
the United States against the fact that
President Harrison, in his worlds fair
appointments, has not recognized the
cOlored race. A lengthy c0mmunlca-
tion from a co.ored society to President
Palmer says, among other things:
Colored men do not desire that the exposi
ton shall set apart for them separate de-
partment, in order that they may compete
with the other exhibitors at the exposition,
or in any wise appear in contrast with other
exhibits. Their sole object is to show to the
entire world, which will have representa-
tives here. as we'll as to their countrymen,
what the one-time slave has really accom-
plished since he was given his freedom.
The demand is made that bureau for
