New CUMBERLAND, April 3.-The
Hanley trial is still going on. The case
will go to the jury by tomorrow at the
farthest. The trial does not attract a
great deal of interest, owing to the fact
that the accused and his victim were
both comparatively strangers here. The
testimony does not vary much. 1t
seemed TO be an encounter which sprung
up on the spur Of the moment and was
OF short duration, Gill, the injured man,
being assisted into house near by, and
Hanley skipped across the river and up
to Beaver Falls, where he was arrested
In the course OF three or four days.
IIanley testified in his own behalf to-
day.

Gen. Albert Pike, the venerable grand
commander of the Scottish Rite Free
masonry and the chief Of the Royal Or
der of Scotland for this country, was a
man Of striking personality, and it Is
doubtful IL there is another Mason who
can in every way Gil the vacancy he has
left. He is generally considered to have
done more towa raising the plane OF
Masonry than any man living, and, with
a very few exceptions, than any Mason
OF the past.
Gen. Pike was Oorn in Boston Decem-
Der %, 1909, the same day that Mr..
Gladstone was born. Gen. Pike entered
Harvard at the age OF sixteen, but soon
afterward left there and went TO teach
ing school. Later on, however, Har-
ward conferred upon him the degree Of
master Of arts in appreciation OF his
deep scholarship. In 1881 he went West
and had an adventurous career in Mex
leo and the Southwest.
During the Mexican war he command
ed a sulfadron in the regiment Of Arkan-
saS mounted volunteers In ls46-47, was
at Buena Vista, and in lS47 rode with
forty-one men from Saltillo TO Chihua-
hua. receiving the surrender OF the City
of Mapimi. AT the beginning OF the
civil war he became Confederate COM
missioner, negotiating treaties OF amity
and alliance with several Indian tribes.
While thus engaged he was appointed
brigadier general and organized
bodies OF Cherokee Indians and
fought with them on the confed-
crate side in the battles Of Pea Ridge
and Elkhorn. In 1860 he engaged In
the practice Of law in Memphis, Tenn.
During 1867 he became editor Of the
Memphis Appeal, but in 1865 he sold
his interest in the paper About seven
teen years ago he came to Washington
on business, and ever since then he has
made Washington or Alexandria his
home. Soon after coming TO Washing
ton to live he gave up the practice OF
law, and afterwards devoted himself en-
tirely to the interests of his beloved or
der The rituals OF the Scottish Rite
to-day are almost entirely his work and
the results OF his labors and researches.
Gen. Pike first entered the Masonic
order at Little Rock, Ark. In Washing
ton he has made his home for years at
the most holy house of the temple, the
home Of the Supreme Council. His
private apartments were on the third
floor and his wine cellar and kitchen in
the basement. Gen. Pike was formerly
quite an epicure, but more recently his
advancing years and the falling condi-
tion Of his health induced him to
confne himself TO the simp lest
kind OF a diet. He was passion
ately devoted to flowers and
birds and OF these he had quite an ex-
tensive collection in his apartments.
After these his fancy ran to pipes of
odd shapes, and he had curious and
beautiful specimens from all portions OF
the earth where the habit Of Smoking
prevails. Gen. Pike was splendid
specimen Of manhood, physically as well
as intellectually. He was man OF
gigantic frame and his long waving
white hair and silky beard gave him a
decidedly patriarchal appearance. His
dress was very simple and he wore no
iewelry with the exception OF the
obligatory three-banded ring Of the S3d
degree Masons.

HUNTINGTON's ELECTION.

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, April 3.-The
election here to-day was intensely ex-
citing. The Barnum Club was an i'm
portant factor in the Democratic con
test, and, although doing splendid work,
it proved unavailing. They made spe-
clal efforts for the Mayor and Marshal,
but both candidates were defeated.
The returns came in very slowly, and
it was nearly daylight to-day before
any OF the wards completed their
count. Dickey, Republican, has ma
lority of lis. staley, for Chief Of Po-
lice, has a majority of an even 100,
while the rest of the general ticket is
Democratic. The Democrats elect five
Councimen and the Republicans four.
There will be Il contest In the First
ward. 1t was an exciting election, and
there is much soreness.

spoke with the greatest enthusiasm OF
Pattison. They argued that since he has

in the United States, and twice carried
the greatest Republican state, he would be
sure to carry Pennsylvania, this time for
a presidential ticket, of which he should
be the head.
"Now l, of course, do not believe he
can do it, and l told those men so. When
national issues are at stake Pennsylvania
can not be carried by the Democratic tick

Cleveland ought to be nominated. They
fear that if the one gets the nomination
the friends of the other in New York will
surely stab him in the back and lose the
state. agreed with them on this point,

Cleveland will be the candidate"
