NEW YORK, March 15.-The McCalla
court of inquiry resumed its session to-
day at the Brooklyn navy yard. e.. r.
Graham, a seaman on the Enterprise.
was the first witness. He told how he
had been confined in irons for five days
on charge of deserving his post. AT
the expiration of that time Commander
McCalla sent for him and released him,
stating that it had been done under a
misapprehension. 1t appears that per-
mission had been given witness to leave
his post by Mr.. Kline, the officer in
charge of the deck. Kline was present
when McCalla ordered witness in irons,
but did not interfere John Glynn, the
next witness, marine. related how he
was caught by his commander and for
ten days confined in double irons as a
punishment. Louis Mayors, a seaman,
tie man who NcCalla threatened TO kill
for smiling at him when the ship was
off the coast of Africa, then related his
story. McCalla asked him what he was
smiling at MIN for. He said he was not,
and the captain called him liar, and
then, sending for his sword and holding
it in front of the witness, McCalla said:
Il have a good mind to kill you for smil-
ing at me and make all example of you
for the ships company" The court
then adjourned until 10 O'Clock Monday.

STIRRED UP SENSATIONS.
Col. Bliss and Mayor Grant Give
Legislators the Lie.

New YORK, March ia state sem
ate committee, empowered to investigate
electrical subways and nearly every
thing else in which electricity bears
a part, was sitting in this city
to-day. Col. George Bliss, who
figured as counsel in the
Star route trials, stirred up a moderate
sensation. He asked that one Harold
p. Brown, who has got ready the cleo
trio apparatus for killing murderers i'm
this state, should be called to testify of
the experiments he had made
with electricity in general. Sen
ator Coggeshall remarked that the
hour of adjournment had arrived.
"You have been asking for Just such
testimony said MIR. Bliss, land now
you won't take it." You can't bull
doze this committee" said Senator
Coggeshall. and Senator Irwin said,
"We have endeavored to keep out
cranks, and we intend to do so." Mr..
Bliss: THAT is gratuitOus in
suit to Mr.. Brown. L say you
dare not put him Oh the stand"
Senator Irwln-CitiZen Bliss, want
to say to you that you won't have any
chance to examine any one here. Mr..

not allow Mr.. Brown to testify because
he is on one side, while the committee
is on the other side Senator Irwin said
that he would
CONSULT HIS COLLEAGUES
and if they wanted to hear Mr.. Brown
be should be called. For himself he did
not intend to call him. The committee
adjourned soon after. While this little
dialogue was going on in one part OF
town, Mayor Grant was on the witness
chair before another state senate COM
mittee in another part of the city. This
was Senator Fasset's municipal investi-
CATION committee. Mayor Grant, who
stepped from the shrievalty to the may
orally, was being questioned about his
acts in the former office, and something
about SheriffS' fees came out. He said
that while sheriff he took personal
charge Of cases involving more than
$4,000. He took all the fees in
these cases, about $1,000 per year. In
some cases he had taken extra COmpen-
sation because he had been advised
that he could do so. In cases of auction
eerS' fees the deputies had been the
auetIoneers. Such charges had been
made in cases exceeding $4,000. he
had employed an auctiOneer, agreeing 70
pay him half of what was received as
auctioneer's fees. They each made
from 81 ZOO to 5000 year from these
fees. The witness became angry at
further question Of William Wins. a
county Democracy lawyer, and said
that Mr.. WINS or his brother had been
connected with suit in which rubber
goods of questionable character figured.
MIR. Ivins-"YOu tell lie wnen you
say So" The MayOr-"YOu tell de-
Hibernate lie when you deny it." The
witness said that Warden Heating.
now under indictment for bribery, had
become keeper of Ludlow street jail the
day he became sheriff. He knew
prisoners were allowed in certain
cases to go to see counsel and
in other instances in the dis
cretiOn of the sheriff. He
did not know that Charles G. Franklyn,
while under arrest in the suit of Sir
Bache Cunard, held dinner parties at
his private house while he was sup
posed to be in Ludlow street Jail. He
gave Deputy Martin power to take him
down town to see his counsel, but was
sure MIR. Martin had received no money
for this service. The mayor said that a
law should be passed doing away with
all Imprisonment in civil cases.

ing of the murderer You're the man
I'ye been looking for for two or three
days.r These were the words uttered
by j. Stratton as he entered the butcher
shop of ". W. Lewis, who was reading a
newspaper. They were followed by
several shots from the pistol of Stratton,
which he carried in his hand. The first
bullet entered the breast of Lewis and
lodged in the lungs, and was sufficient
to have caused death. Bleeding and
faint Lewis CROPPED his way to the door
and went to the back of the house. lie
was followed by his murderer, who
continued firing. Finally Lewis fell to
the ground and died almost instantly.
As soon as the news of the murder
reached the years of the city authorities
they arrested Stratton and
PLACED HIM IN THE JAIL

sheriff from Hastings. The story of
the murder soon came TO the knowledge
of the citizens of the town, and i'll tf-
teen minutes large crowd OF deter
mined and passionate men, armed and
masked. forced their way to the cell
where Stratton was confined, and
paying no attention to his APP
peals for mercy, hastily placed a
rope around his neck and dragged him
to livery stable near by. Arriving
there he was strung up to one OF the
rafterS, and in few minutes life was
extinct. The lyncherS then hastily
dispersed The coroner arrived
not long after, and found the
dead body Of Stratton hanging
TO the rafter. 1t was cut down, and he
rendered verdict of "aeoth by hang
ing at the hands Of unknown parties"
Lewis leaves a widow and five chill
dren. Stratton was bachelor living a

FARMERS DEMAND JUSTICE.
Nebraskans Want Another 10 Per
Cent deduction.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 15.-Gov.
Thayer has addressed second letter to
the railway managers on the corn rate
question. He reviewed the history Of
the agitation and declared that the
gamblers. spectators and dealers in
futures have absorbed the 10 per cent
reduction granted and the farmers have
had no benefit therefrOm. He makes
another demand for 10 per cent rate
per 100 from Nebraska points to Chi
cagO, and after contrasting the
prosperous condition of the railway
with that of the pOyerty-stricken
farmer, he declares that the people Of
NebraSea don't want to fight the rail-
ways. They desire that they shall
prosper, but they demand that the rail-
ways shall no longer depress them, as
they have done. They demand that the
roads shall give them fair and reason
able rates, so that they may receive a
just return for their labor and invest
mentS. The people, and the farming
classes especially. are aroused now as
they never have been before, and will
not cease their demands until Justice
has been granted. He says: 81 again
warn you of the disastrous consequences
to the roads if their just demands are
refused, and say this, not by way of q
threat, but as friendly warming"
