FUNDS FOR UNIVERSITY.
Appropriations of About S734,-
900 Made by the House.

JEFFERSON City, March 1.-THE
State University should fly q green
flag to-day, for the House this
morning, decorated in greer, evinc-
ed a spirit of liberality and the
State University was the bene-
iciary.
There was quite a lobby of
alumni upon the floor, headed by
G Gardiner Lathrop, of Kansas City,
and it did active work for the good
Of the cause. Mr.. Crouch brought
the matter up, introducing a resolu-
ton representing the opinion of the
house that the direct tax fund,
given to the state by the general
government, be used in the pay.
ment of the state debt instead of
going to found a fund for the State
University. The resolution called
for an hours debate and plenty
of feeling. Although U. 8. Hall,
the president of the Alliance, favor
ed the university appropriation,
many of the Alliance men fought it
bitterly. Lyman, Julian, Ferris,
Of Ray, and others spoke for the
university, and finally the morning
hour expired and the matter went
over without action.
As soon as the regular order was
called for, Lyman sprang to his
feet and called up the Kurtz bill
making the direct tax monthly q
seminary fund to be loaned at s
per cent, the money to 60 to the
State University. The fund
amounts to s646, 95S, SO the uni
versity interest would be $780,.
347. 80. OF this the Rolla School
of Mines gets one.ffth and the uni
versity four-fifths.
There was a bitter fight when it
came to the roll call and the whip
pers.in delayed it until they had
rallied their votes and it passed
amid loud cheers by 70 votes-just
one more than the law requires.
Mr.. Lyman then called up his
appropriation bill for the State
University and other educational
institutions. By this bill the uni
versity gets sSS. 900. 1t was passed
and again the friends of education
cheered.

ored to dispose of the freight bill,

ator McGinnis, "the pa of the sen

nitely postponed. There were few
senators present and they refused
by a vote of 13 to IL, to lay tn
matter on the table. A number O
members had business in the lobb,
when the roll was called. TIL

MILLER.
He Is Again Placed ON Trial
For His Life.
Once Sentenced to the Gallows, He Wal
Lucky Enough to Escape Hanging
The Leader Of the Negro Maaa.
From Yesterdays Daily.

AAo" ScsSAoo! . BIT
The trial of the case of the State
of Missouri vs. John Miller, color
ed, for the murder of Samuel
Apgar, which occurred in the early
morning hours of April II, 1888, at
the old mans residence in West
Mexico, will begin tomorrow
morning at a special adjourned
term of Circuit Court. The twelve
jurors will be selected tonight or
perhaps tomorrow morning from
a panel of forty of Audrain's best
citizens.
AN AFRICAN MAFIA.
About the time of the murder
there existed in this city an organic
ed band of negro cut-throats known
as "The Royal Nine" which can,
in a measure, be likened to the
Sicilian Malta. The mission of
its members was to rob, murder
and trsnsgress the law. John
Mortimer, now serving a life sen.
tence at Jefferson City, and John
Miller, the negro about to be tried
for his life, were the moving splr-
it's in the murderous organization.
They went to old man Apgar's to
rob him of his pension pittance and
were detected in the act by the
almost helpless old invalid.
KILLED IN COLD BLOOD.
To conceal their original crime a
greater one had to be committed.
The old man was killed. The
identity of the murderers remain
ed a mystery for a fortnight, when
Mortimer weakened and confessed
that Miller and himself were the
only members of "The Royal
Nine" implicated. At the June
term, 1889, of the Audrain Clrcui,
| Court an indictment issued against
Miller for the murder, and he was
given trial and sentenced to be
hanged. However, no date was
named for the hanging to take
place. An appeal was taken to thu
Supreme Court and a stay of execu
ton was granted until the cas-.
could be passed upon by tina
d%eliberative body. The case wa
remanded to the Audrain Circui
| Court for a re-trial, which begin
tomorrow. 1t has been postponed
from time to time and has passet
over many terms of court.
INDICTMENTS WITHOUT END.
The trial docket shows tina
there are five State cases agains
John Miller for burglary and tn
same are set for trial on Saturday
In the murder case the jury mus
either hang or clear the accused
If Miller is lucky enough to escap
hanging the chances are he will b
sent to the penitentiary on som
one of the charges of burglary, t
cheer up the remaining long an
weary years yet to be served b
Mortimer for the part he played il
the tragedy.
