MRS. OILMfB.
Mrs. Gilmer was Miss Marguerite Cecil, one
OF the talrest women of Pulaski. She was
very fascinating in conversation Of tall figure,
iaultess form and highly accomplished 1t
was thought during the first part Of the trial
mat her testimony was clever web manu-
Iactured for the social wrecking Of
Ir. Baker but at no point could
the evidence she gave be attacked OF
eontradicted and for this reason, If
no other, her words had great weight with
the Jury. Her evident sincerity and beauty
aud moments of apparently unassumed emo
ton were not without their effect on the jury
and It IS safe 90 say that in view Of all the
circumstances that the jury believed she
spoke the truth. Believing SO they could not
bring in any other verdict.
Dr. Baker is a physician of high rank in
social, religious and medical circles He is
tall and prepossesslng in appearance. weighs
about 40 pounds, has travelled extensively
and is about forty y-fye years OF age.
The trial excited the greatest imaginable
excitement in this region. because the parties
were 80 we'll known and highly respected.
The fact that the prisoner did not 60 on the
stand 10 refute the damaging testimony Of
Mrs Gilmer was no doubt powerful point
against the defense. Ii Is true that the law
does not permit Jury TO consider this TACT.
Still the jury knew it.

A BIG EXPLOSION.
One Hundred and Fourteen Sticks
of Giant Powder
Go 0f-Three Miners Narrow Escape-The
Cabin and Blacksmith Shop Blown
to Atoms.

GRANITE, Colo, Nov. 21.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD, News has just
been received from Winfield, Colo, a
mining camp on Clear Greek about eighteen
miles from Granite, of terrific explosion
of giant powder, resulting IN the demolition
of the buildings on the Swiss Boy mine and
the narrow escape of three, employees. 1t
seems the three employees in question,
George Daniels, John Lay and Mike SulIi-
van, had retired to the cabin TO eat their
lunch, and having large quantity of
giant powder on hand, which had become
frozen, placed the lot ia sticks in
all, on the forge in the blacksmith
shop adjoining to thaws out. All went
well until they had finished their lunch and
returned to the mine, when, just as they
entered the mouth OF the tunnel hundred
yards away, tremendous noise was heard
which made the earth tremble. Upon re-
turning to Investigate the cause of the
fearful racket, they found the giant pow
der had exploded and carried with it the
entire blacksmith shop and cabin, pieces of
which were strung over the ground for a
radius of quarter Of q mile. AS the
sleeping apartments have been destroyed
the men are obliged to seek shelter during
the night in the depthssof the mine until
another cabin can be constructed. Dan
Nero, who runs a stage line between Gran
tie and Winfield, was in the shop not three
minutes before the explosion and narrowly
escaped death by being blown skywards.

WOOLEN AND COTTON
Porter Gives Figures Regarding
the Growth
OF Wooden and Cotton Manufactures for the
Last Decade - The South's Great
Increase of Mills

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 81. - Superintendent
Porter, Of the census bureau, delivered an
interesting address tonight before the
Commercial club, in the course of which he
gave hguresregarding the growth of wooden
and cotton manufacturing interests, and
which are made public for the
first time. The total value of all
wooden manufactures in 1890 was 1914, $685.
Coo, an increase of 81, O46, 743 in the ten
years since $780, Cotton products show
total value in 1890 OF s257, 764, 529, an in
crease since 1850 Of 500, 674, 419. "The south
ern states" said MIR. Porter. may well
be proud of their magnificent showing.
They are now employing in their cotton
mills nearly as many hands as Massachu-
sets in 1870. In the ten years Just closed
they have more than doubled the number
OF persons employed and the value of the
products, and have nearly trebled
the amount of cotton consumed and
the number of spindles. The showing
for the United States is most satisfactory.
Nearly fifty thousand more persons are
employed, an increase Of S65, 000, 900 in the
value of the product and upward of $780,
600 spindles is a decennial progress we
may all rejoice cver.m

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 21.-The Alliance
and farmers Mutual Benefit Association
have practically amalgamated, though each
has refused to adopt resolutions looking to
consolidation, but the two organizations
are Just as firmly united as if formal reso-
lutions had been adopted. The arrange
ments look to the disappearance of the
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association be-
fore its next national meeting. Last night
and to-day the Alliance has been initiating
into its membership many Of the most
prominent members of the Farmers Mu-
tual Benefit Association. These go back
to their homes to proselyte among sub
lodges The Alliance has agreed to admit
sub-lodges of the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association into the Alliance upon pay
ment of 81 for blanks. II is expected be-
fore the time for the next annual meeting
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton nearly all the lodges will have joined
the Alliance. The supreme council of the
Alliance had adopted resolution instruct
ing the Alliance Congressman not to enter
the caucus of either OF the old political
parties. 1t was amended instruoting them
not to vote for any man for speaker who
noes not support the Ocala platform.

Mrs. ]. B. Barnaby, will move a postpone
ment for ninety days on the ground that
they have not had proper notification OF
witnesses summoned by the prosecution
and of the evidence that the prosecution
will introduce. The state will contest
this on the ground that the de-
tense has been properly notified Of
all matters that they should be-.
The state claims this movement to be an
acknowledgment that the defense has no
case and is trying to delay as last resort
The state further says that if the Judge
grants a stay it must enter nolle, as its
witnesses come too far and are kept at too
great an expense to justify the state to
bring them together again. This motion
will cause lively contest in court.

A Remarkable Case of Fasting.

LSpecialto THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
PITTsBURG, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Mary MoVay,
of Braddock, is astonishing her neighbors
and the doctors by her long fast She has
now been al days with no other food than
buttermilr. She drinks about pint Of
this daily, and although medical men say
it has no life sustaining properties, she
continues to live. Mrs. McVay is nearly
seventy years old. For forty-fye years
she was an incessRnt smoker. She used a
clay pipe and had the habit of holding it in
one position in her mouth for an hour at a
time. As result nicotine formed and for
years dripped from the end of her pipe
stem upon the same spot in her cheek. Last
March a cancer formed resulting from the
poison. In July she conceived en- abhor
ance OF all food and drink, and since then
has refused to take ought but buttermilk
The cancer, although it has eaten away the
entire lower jaw, does not interfere with
mastication or swallowing, but for some
reason she will not eat. Her death is now
considered matter Of only short time.
