CLEAR ON AN ALIBI.
THE ALLEGED AS
SAULTER, DISCHARGED.
Two of the Girls He Attacked Positively
Identify Him, Yet the Court Orders the
Charge Dismissed-Three Other Cases
Against Him.

A. K. Morropulus, who has been con-
fined in the city prison for several days
past on charges OF assault, battery and
assault with intent to commit rape, sue
ceeded in establishing an alibi when
placed on trial yesterday for assaulting
Jennie Roundsfeld on the evening of
August 10th.
The arrest OF Morropulus has created
considerable excitement, it being sup
posed that he is the rascal who has
committed assaults upon the. persons OF
number of women and young girls and
for whom the police have been looking
for some time.
At the hour set for his trial Justice
Austin's court room was quite crowded.
Deputy District Attorney Blades, who
appeared for the people, moved that the
court room be cleared and the case
held with closed doors. The court de-
clined to make such an order.
Jennie Roundsfeld, the victim of the
dastardly assault on the night in ques-
tion, was the first witness. She was
extremely nervous when brought into
the court room by her uncle, and gave
her testimony in half-scared sort of
fashion, but her evidence was very clear
and strong.
She swore that on Wednesday evening,
August 10th, she was walking along
Main street with Annie Barclay when
Morropulus seized her, placed his arm
about her waist and kissed her, at the
same time throwing up her clothes.
She positively identified the defendant
as her assailant. Counsellor Ling put
the girl through trying cross examina-
ton, until she became so wrought up
that she burst into tears and was assisted
from the stand and into the waiting
room.
Annie Barclay, curly headed, comely
girl of 13, was the next sworn, and cor
roborated the preceding witness in
every particular. She also pointed out
the defendant as the perpetrator of the
assault.
The defense moved that the case be
dismissed, the motion, however, being
overruled.
A number of witnesses were placed on
the stand for the defense, and fully ac-
counted for the prisoners whereabouts
from Tuesday afternoon of the 18th to
the following Friday at noon. and at the
conclusion of the testimony the court
ordered the defendant discharged.
The testimony OF the girls was 80 direct
and they were so positive in their iden-
tifcation of the defendant, and he hav-
ing been also identified as the assailant,
that his discharge on an alibi is hard to
understand.
Morropulus has yet to answer charge
of battery, preferred by'a lady who was
assaulted and who identified him, and
charge of assault to commit rape on

''This battle for market was never
more general or strenuous than now
among all the nations of the world,
though not pushed by bloodshed."
Continuing, he said, that Americans
ought to send their products to foreign
markets by methods of peace
full and profitable interchange.

SONS OF VETERANS.
A Lively Discussion Over the Proposed
Changes in the Ritual.

Changes in the Ritual.
MrNNEAPoLIs, August 25.-The morn
ing session of the grand commandery of
the Sons of Veterans was devoted err
tirely to routine business, conducted in
secret. The report OF the ritual COM
mittee submitted this afternoon, pro-
voked lively discussion. 1t provides
for two degrees, civic and military, and
for number OF other changes in the
ritual. The report was at first adopted,
but later the action was recon
sidered and the report is sill
before the commandery. There is little
doubt, however, of its ultimate adoption
in substantially it's present shape.
The Ladies' Aid society has been in
session during the day. The society
has PIG camps and 5000 members, and
is recognized and encouraged by the
Sons of Veterans.
The basis of organization was changed
to the same as the Grand Army. 1t was
also decided that fifteen charter mem
bers could organize camp. The propo-
sition to increase the age OF acceptance
from 18 to 81 was defeated.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.
The Manufacturers' Building Enlarge
Mr. Eihels Proposal Rejected.

.----
n Mr. Eiffel's Proposal Rejected.
CHICAGO, August Exchanges were
made today in the interior plans Of the
manufacturers building of the worlds
fair, which add ten acres to the floor Of
the building, and give it forty acres
available for exhibits and avenues, max
ing the largest exposition building ever
constructed. Music hall and the shoe
and leather building are forced out by the
new arrangements, to other parts Of the
grounds, The change was the result of
protest by Vice-President De Young,
of the national commission, who demon
strated that under the previous arrange
ments there would be barely room for
the foreign exhibit, thus completely
shutting out American manufactures.
The proposition OF M. Eiffel, of Paris,
to erect tower at the exposition was
today definitely rejected. An American
company, headed by w. E. Hale, will,
it is-said, submit a more acceptable plan.

A Terrible Explosion Under Lake Mich
igan at Chicago.
CHICAGO, August 25.-The workmen
in the new four-mile tunnel under Lake
Michigan, for increased water facilities
for the city, struck pocket of gas
today. The pressure of the air
in the tunnel was raised to twenty
four pounds to the square inch,
keeping back the gas, but tonight this
became too oppressive for the workmen,
and it was lowered to sixteen pounds.
Late tonight the electric lights at a
point two miles and half from shore
got out of order, and man went out to
repair them. When he went near the
point where the gas was escaping, it
ignited from his torch. and tremendous
explosion followed. One man was fatally
and seven others seriously injured.

In the 2;17 class, trotting, at the re-
cent breeders nesting at Chicago, Vic
H., the California mare, won after a
gallant struggle. She won the first,
fourth and fifth heats. Thornless won
the second and third heats. The time
for each mile was as follows: 2:16A,
1:15s4, 2:171, 2:l62 and 40. 1t will
be observed that Thornless trotted the
fatest heat in the race, but the California
mare had the most stamina and won
first money.
Monbars, who won the two-year-old
race, is the sensational trotter
that the eastern turf papers
have been full of in the past two
months. While 2:271a is very fast, it
is long way from the 2:18 made by
Sunol when two years old. Monbars
made very fast half, but he probably
had the strong wind behind him for that
part of the journey. Direct still con-
tinues to pull down the gold hung up by
the big eastern associations. The little
California horse will win more money
this year than ever won by pacing
horse.

the National league and American asso-

most unsatisfactory way. Dispatches
had been received in the evening an
nouncing that Mike Kelly had jumped
his contract with the Boston association
team and joined the league. This had
the effect of breaking up the pending
negotiations, for the time being at least,
and probably indefinitely.
