ANDERSON. Jan q. The preliminary
move in the trial of the Madison county
White Caps was made yesterday by q mo-
ton upon the part of the defendants
for q continuance on the grounds of their
inability to secure certain witnesses This
movement was flanked by the State send
ing out quietly and getting the witnesses,
TO the surprise Of the ''cappers." A motion
was b made for q change of venue from
the county. which Judge Ellison declined
to sustain. So the case was called this
morning in the Madison Circuit Court be-
fore his Honor. Judge Ellison.
The jury was impaneled without much
delay, and the defendants granted separate
trials. w. II. Richardson, the alleged
leader of the gang. is now on trial. and the
courthouse is literally packed full of
spectators. The Witnesses, about one hum
dred in all. are corraIledein the Probate
Court room. The State expects to estab-
lish the fact that W. H.. Richardson, Peter
and Henry Rector and Isaac Hoppas, with
a number of others, under an organized
band of White Caps, broke mp farm imple-
ments, shaved the names n tails OF horses,
cut Off tails of colts and did other acts of
violence and mischief to certain citizens of
Madison county during the summer of 1890,
and the case will be vigorously prosecuted
and bitterly fought.

All for Liberty.

Brooklyn Standard I'm on.
Reed is a usurper. He usurped the au-
by the majority in spite of q vindictive
minority of obstructionists. 1t was the de-
termination of the Democrats that there
should not be a Republican Congress. The
usurper Reed overrode this anarchical pol
Icy of the Democracy, and became q very
bad man. Morton is q tyrant as soon as he
rules against the dictation of the Demo
cratic boss. Between Reed and Morton
there is despotism of the most direful de-
%scription. 1t is q beautiful thought that the
Democratic party is standing right up for
liberty. AS for the Constitution, they ney-
er will desert it, so long Us it can be multi
fed with impunity, and the arrangement
by which in the black States the whites
vote for themselves and blacks too, is to be
psrpetuated in the name of our liberties
and equalities.

DEATHS By ACCIDENTS.

Miss Frederick, . Victim of the Steam-Motor
Wreck on the Irviugton Line.
Miss Minnie Frederick, one of the. pas
sengers injured last Saturday in the steam
motor wreck on the Irvington line, died AT
10 o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was
thought at first hat she might survive the
injuries she sustained, bnt she grew worse
last Monday, and for the past two <days
was unconscious. The immediate cause of
death was excessive pressure on the brain,
due to effusion. Miss Frederic was twenty
years of age. and lived with her uncle at
~IrvingtOn, where she attended college last
year. Her remains will be buried at Hall,
Morgan county. where her mother lives.

Where ssctionaiism IL strong.

The action of the Southern legislatures
in regard to misrepresentation at the
worlds fair should the elections bill be in
force is like that of the spoiled child. who.
not being allowed to keep the nursery
topsy-turvy, cuts of its joys to spite its
friends by refusing to join in n general
family j~olification. This action, however,
following OH the heels of the exclusive ideas
inculcated at the Southern interstate emf
grafton convention, and at the direct trade
convention of the Southern States, simply
points the old, old story, s~ectionalism run
riot. And yet Southern orators and their
Northern abettors insist that it is the North
that 10 sectional. And the more exclusive
the spirit. the louder the assertion that it
is the other side that offends.

The thing that killed Senator Gilbert

Preparing For the Execution of the New
Canaan Murderer.
June 18th, the date appointed for
gallows the crime of numbering Con-
stable Louis Drucker III New Canaan, is
but a few weeks distant. Already
Sheriff Clarkson of Bridgeport is be-
sieged with applications for passes to
the execution, many of them coming
from physicians. He has determined,
on account of the limited space which
will be available for carrying out the
laws penalty, to grant passes to only a
limited number of medical men and Off
cials, besides the members of the press.
He wishes to have the occasion as de-
void of all appearances of show spec
tacle as possible.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Clarkson
went to New Haven to see the commits
sioners of that county, in relation to
procuring the use of the gallows owned
by them, and which were used at the
last execution in Bridgeport, that of
Palladoni, in 1888. These gallows have
been used at almost all of the execu-
tions throughout the state for the past
ten years. They embody what is known
as the drop, the condemned man stand
ing upon the trap door, fastened by a
spring. When the spring is released,
the door falls and with it the con-
demned. Theoretically the jerk with
which he brings up at the end of the
rope breaks his neck. In reality is does
not always do so. Practically the same
result is attained as death ensues from
diSlOcation.
