BUTTERWORTH OR BONE.
One of the Two a Liar-Who Is the Pre-
varicatOr?

One of the Two Liar-Who Is the Pre-
varicator?
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The special
House committee on the Ohio ballot-box
forgery, resumed hearings this morning.
Lewis A. Bone, of Cincinnati, an en-
ployee of the Cincinnati Screw and Tap
Company, which made the famous bal
lot boxes declared, that Ben Butter
worth's assertion that he had not
spoken to Tom Campbell for eight years,
was untrue, for in 1887 he saw Butter
worth in Campbell's back office and one
OF the ballot boxes on a table. Wood
was there also. They looked anxious,
and as if waiting to get down to
business.
Butterworth interrupted with the re-
mark: "You are lying from beginning
to end"
Butterworth then testified "There
is not a single word of truth in his state
ment that l was there, from beginning
to end. l never was there; never had a
talk with Campbell or Wood. In fact,
Campbell and / have not been on speak
ing terms, as some persons in this room
know, for five or six years. l think pos
sibly once in the past five or six years
was in Campbell's Office, but that was in
his front office, and only for a single mo-
ment. l never saw ballot-box there,
and never saw Wood there"
Bone reiterated the truth of his state
ment, and said he had no object to
asperse Butterworth.
Adjourned.

SHOT BY THE CAPTAIN.
Skipper Obliged to Shoot a Mutinous


Tar.
ASTORIA, Ore, April 3O.-The sealing
schooner Bessie Rutter, which left AS
toria ten days ago, returned last night,
bringing sailor who had been shot by
Captain Henry Olsen and fatally
wounded. Last Sunday the captain
went into the forecastle and ordered all
hands on deck. All responded except
Dane named Billy Stevenson, who would
not get up. The captain went down
the second time and asked why he did
not get up. The Dane said he would
when he got ready, and applied vile
epithets to the captain who responded by
calling him "nigger." When Stevenson
made his appearance on deck the cap
tain ordered him to go forward, but
Stevenson paid no heed and advanced
toward the captain, who seized shot
gun. Olsen again commanded him to
go forward three times, but he kept ad-
vancing, and, when about six feet away,
the captain fired and Stevenson fell to
the deck wounded in the groin. He
was picked up and cared for, and the
schooner headed for the river. When it
arrived here Stevenson was taken to the
hospital, where he died this morning.
The captain was placed under arrest on
his arrival by a deputy United States

The Men Who Traduce A. T. Stewards

New YORK, April 30.-The Grand Jury
has handed in indictments against
Joseph Pulitzer, John A. Cockerill,
Julius Chambers and James F. Graham,
of the New York World, for the criminal
libel of ex-Judge Hilton.
The World, for some time past, has
been publishing sensational articles re-
garding Judge Hiltons relations to the
Stewart estate, and also vague insinua-
tions against the character of Mr..
Stewart. On the 23d instant Judge
Hilton wrote District Attorney Fellows
at length, calling attention to these arti-
cles, and saying he would not think of
dignifying them by bringing a civil suit
for libel Had they been confined to
libeling him he should have treated
them with cOntemptuous silence; but"
says the letter, "when they malign the
memory of my dear friend and bene-
factor, whose name was synonym for
high character, perfect integrity and un-
questioned personal purity, | owe it to
his memory that such shameless and
wanton traducers, beside whom the
robbers OF his grave were gen.
tlemen of refinement and character,
should be brought to answer at the bar
of public justice. 1t is with that pur-
pose in view that write this letter and
send these papers, that you may exhibit
these libels to the Grand Jury for such
action as they may deem proper"
Messrs. Graham and Chambers gave
bail this afternoon. Mr.. Pulitzer is not
at home, and Cockerill is out of the city
on a vacation

Cleveland and Friends in Florida.

Cleveland and Friends in Florida.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 30.-A letter
has been received here from Florida from
Mrs. A. d. Mulliken, wife of capitalist
OF this city, that tells of narrow escape
from death last week of herself and hus-
band and Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land, sister of ex-President Cleveland.
The party had been wintering on the
lower coast of Florida. Last week they
started to come north on steamer, but
had to stop at Naples for repairs to the
steamer. Mr.. and Mrs. Mulliken and Miss
Cleveland were anxious to go to Punta
Gorda, and chartered light sail boat
for that purpose. The party was well
out on the way to Punta Gorda, when a
great storm came up at night and at
tempts to manage the craft were futile
The waves rolled over the boat again
and again; the decks were swept of
everything, and the gloom that sur
rounded them was appalling. All their
baggage was swept away. Nothing
could be done save to cling to the boat
After several hours the storm abated
and the craft finally reached Punta
Gorda.

A DISTRESSING Occurrence.


A very sad affair occurred near
Shepherdstown on Wednesday, by
which Mr.. Daniel Fulk, who lives be-
yond the cemetery, lost his only
child, a girl, about six months old.
Wednesday morning about o'clock
it was necessary to give the baby
medicine. Mrs. Fulk was sick, so her
mother attended to it, and gave the
child what she thought was Castoria,
but which was in reality laudanum in
a Castoria bottle. The mistake was
not discovered until o'clock, and
by the time that poison had been alb
sorbed in the system. Physicians
were summoned, and everything pos
sible was done to counterfeit the
deadly drug But it was too late,
and the little sufferer died at 8 o'clock
in the evening. The distressed family
have the sympathy of the community
in their misfortune.
