Howard E. Gill Acquitted.


Correspondence Of the Telegram. Herald.
The case of the People versus Howard
e. Gill, postmaster of Northport,
charged with brutally beating and i'll.
using his young mare, came up for
trial yesterday and resulted in the de-
fendant securing verdict Of not guilty.
The case was hotly contested and the
acquittal in the face of the strong proof
of using clubs, whips, straps, sand and
continuing for nearly five hours was
not surprising when the wealth and in
fiuence of the defendant is taken into
consideration. Nothing less than the
actual killing of his horse could have
secured q conviction as the Gill family
is the wealthiest and most influent al
family in Leelanau county. The case
has been dragging on since July l4th.
The first attempt was began In North
port and was dismissed and again
brought up for trial at Leland, where
the defendant has twice secured an ad-
journment and finally an acquittal.
The jury was out about three hours, but
the opinion is prevalent that they were
Gill men. The complainant has had to
contend with unwilling Witnesses and
one man n. s. Uber perjured himself
in GilPs favor so daringly that the
prosecuting attorney dismissed him as
. perlured witness. The citizens Of
Northport are loud in their dencncia-
ton of the brutality of Postmaster
Gill and his family and deeply resent
the acquital.

Once more the schooner Thomas
Hume has been found and lost. On her
last trip across the lake the Goodrich
steamer City Of Racine discovered what
looked to be . spar from . sunken
vessel about six miles east-northeast of
the mouth of the harbor. So certain
were the captain and passengers tnat it
WAS the topmast of the Hume that
Hackley & Hume, of Muskegon, own
ers of the lost schooner, were immei-
dtely notified. Yesterday Seth Lee, the
firms superintendent, came to Chi
cago, and taking tug, began . search
for the supposed spar. 1t was soon
located, but Captain Lee to his great
disappointment, found that it was only
the top of . fishing stake. "The firm
told me-" said Captain Lee, "to ind

AT THE COLLEGE.
a Very Pleasant Entertainment
Last Night.

a Very Pheasant Entertainment
Last Night.
One of the most delightful events of
the season occurred at the Asheville Fe-
male college last night. 1t was the oc-
casion of the entertainment given by the
young ladies of that institution for the
benefit of the college missionary society.
Nearly 200 patrons and friends of the
college were present, The first part of
the evenings entertainment was taken
up by the rendition of literary and musi-
cal selections by students of the college.
The selections were well rendered, and
that portion of the program was very
enjoyable Those who took part in these
exercises were Misses Laura Newland,
Virginia Arnold, Bonnie Reeves and
Lilly Way.
After literary exercises, the Young
ladies served those present with straw
berries, cake and ice cream, the latter
from Kern, of Knoxville. The refresh
mcnts dispensed by fairy hands were not
the least enjoyable feature of the evening.
All who attended spent very happy
time, only regretting that such occasions
oh not occur oftener.
The entertainment netted $40 for the
society.
