DR.. J. A. 2. BAKER
Granted New Trial in the Circuit
Court at Abingdon.

In the circuit court of Washington
county,Va lat Abingdon, Judge Jno. A.
Kelley on Tuesday granted new trial
to DR.. John A. P. Baker, sustaining
several assignments of error made by
his counsel. One error was of a technical
nature, in that the record sent to him
was not properly made out, Another
error was in admitting the testimony
OF J. M. Butt, which simply proved the
criminal intimacy between DR.. Baker
and Mrs. Gilmer, and did not have
anything to do with the merits of the
case, though it probably misled the
jury.
The introduction OF the letters and
the exhuming of Mrs. Bakers body
was decided to be perfectly relevant.
In fact, every material point made by
the commonwealth at the last trial
was allowed to stand. This makes the
case against Baker as strong as it has
ever been, if not little stronger Bris-

THE GERMAN EMPEROR'S BODY GUARD.
A Small Army of Detectives Who Are
Now Securing London.
They Have Found MANY Anarchists
Known In Continental Cities.
But Fear Only Possible Insults for
the Prussian Royalties,

LONDON, July 6.--The police are taking
extraordinary precautions for the security of
the Kaiser during his visit here. Several of
the best detectives in Scotland Yard went to
Windsor last evening. and are watching
there for any signs of Anarchists plotting.
Though efforts are made to conceal the fact
as much as possible there is no doubt that
every foreigner In London known to have
been Identified with anarchy or socialism
abroad is closely watched and followed with
the police officers on special detail. The
Berlin detectives, who are here to look out
for the Kaiser, have given the London police
valuable points as to the identity Of refugees
heretofore unsuspected Of any connection
with political plottings abroad, and who
have been supposed to be ordinary foreign
who had come to England in order to i'm
prove their circumstances. A nihilist, who
was suspected at the time of being implicat-
ed In the murder of the late Gar Of Russia,
and who has been missing ever since that
time. was recognized by Berlin officer as
West End tailor. The man had
formerly been resident of Ber-
lid, and was under surveillance while
there. He now passes with his slight

he Is still engaged In Nihilistic plottings is
not known. There Is however, but little ap-
preheneion that harm Is meditated against
the Kaiser by anyone. What Is most feared
Is insult, and this the police are determined
to prevent. In the present temper of the
people, however, it would be dangerous for
anyone to insult the Kaiser, as the multitude
IS enthusiastic for him, and would, it is be-
lieved, take speedy vengeance on anyone do
ing anything openly to offend the nations
guests. AS for the fear that there will be an
Anarchist demonstration when the Kaiser is
received at the Guildhall, 1t is not shared
by the authorities, as the police arrange
menus are perfect and the procession will
be through streets In which the middle class
of people generally congregate
The Kaiser and Kaiserin are surrounded
wherever they go by their glittering retinues,
the profusiOn of gold lace, plumes and de-
corati0ns throwing even the trappings of
British royalty into the shade. The author
tiles are also much more careful than in the
case of British royalty to keep the people at
a distance. The Kaiser and Kaiserin are,
however, profusely polite, and have rather
won the popular heart, already well inclined,
by not being what Londoners call too-up-
pish.
The Emperor, accompanied by the Duke
of Connaught and a brilliant staff, left
Windsor Castle this morning on horse
back and visited Eton College. The young
Et0n volunteers went through the manual Of
arms and other exercises, and were reviewed
by the Emperor. Later His Majesty in
spected the college buildings. He was given
a cordial reception by the people.

THE PRISON WALLS WERE SHATTERED
And Death lEnded the Sentences of
Ten Of the convIcts.
PenItentIary Building, Baton Rouge,
La, Blown to Pieces.
Convlcrs Killed and Injured Among
Falling Bricks and TImbers.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 6.-The Plea
yune's Baton Rouge special says: A terrible
cyclone struck this city a little after o'clock
this morning, passing,from southwest to
northwest. 1t entered the city at the Garig
brick yard, passed up through Catfshtown
and struck the hill just east of John John
sons residence. Its path continued in a
northeasterly direction, crossing the north
boulevard 100 yards east of the Governors
mansion. 1t then went north, striking and
almost demolishing the penitentiary build
ing and j. A. Dougherty's residence on
North street Thence beyond the city the
cyclone, 300 yards wide. swept on. In the
city no one was killed, but several persons
were seriously injured. AT the penitentiary
oss of life was caused by the shatterlng Of
the building in which were the pants fac
tory and hospital.
Forty prisoners were at work In the fac
tory at the time of the crash. Six were
killed and % wounded and horribly crushed.
On the second story of the central floor was
the hospital where 20 sick prisoners lay, un-
dergoiDg medical treatment. Four were
killed and IA seriously, If not; fatally, in
jured. The fire alarm was sounded and the
entire fire department summoned to the
scene of the dreadful catastrophe. With the
citizens and prison officials aided by
the uniDjured prisoners, they worked
vigorously for the rescue of the unfortunates
confined under the great heap OF debris. The
storm was attended by most violent rain,
In which the rescuers toiled several hours,
until both living and dead were extricated
from the ruins. OF the thirty-six wounded,
about six are expected to die before night,
and the recovery of several others is ex-
tremely doubtful. The total damage to the
penitentiary buildings is estimated at $780,
600.

yard and, strange to say was not hurt.

among the Republican institutions Of this state,
it will bear only the highest reverence for the
memory of ex-Vice President Hannibal HamliD,
coupled with that of him whose name we adopt.
Together they firmly stood, directing the affairs
Of state through term of years the most trying
In American history, Today we mourn them !
yet who shall say that He, who rules by Omnpotent
Wisdom and who linked so closely the lives of
these grand, heroic characters, shall not temper
this loss and bring out OF it only good for the
nation.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
furnished TO the Portland daily papers and that
copy be sent to the family Of the deceased ex-
Vice President.
Resoived, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the club and that commit
tee Of seven members be appointed to attend the
funeral obsequies.
The following named gentlemen were ap-
pointed to attend the funeral: Z. p. Chase,
