Waterman Smiths Version.

Waterman Smith, who says he was on
board the DawpOol until she passed Meiggs
Wharf going to sea, declares that the story
about the man swimming ashore from that
vessel is wrong, because the strong under
tow would have carried him to sea should
he have attempted to swim ashore. Inas-
much as the sailor did not jump overheard
while the ship was towing out, but left her
before she was under way and was seen by
CALL reporter after he came ashore, the

BUTTE, Aug TO- Especial. I'm the Davis
will trial to-day Amos Steckel, for the con-
testgnts, testified that he has been engaged
in the banking business fifteen years; that
the examination of signatures was part of
his business he has known James r. Eddy
and received letters from him and he be-
lievei the alleged will to be in the hand
writing of James II. Eddy, with the posi-
be exception of the signature of James
Davis. On cross s-examination the witness
admitted that five years ago he was indicted
for perjury. He said it WAS as a result of a
business complication and misunderstand-
ing and that the Indictment was quashed
on technicality. F. W. Moore was next
examined for contestants and said he
is assistant cashier in a Bloom
field, Iowa, bank. He said he
had seen the writing of James
Davis and, looking at the will, said he did
not think the name on the will was Jane s
Davis signature. Alyin 9. Hanshaw. the
next witness, lives in Wapello county, Iowa,
and is teamster. He has known James r..
Eddy since 1880. and has seen both his
ness, asked whether he had sufficient
knowledge of j. r. Eddy's writing to tell
who wrote the will, replied that he would
not have definite opinion. John G. Rog-
ers. of Iowa, has known James Davis since
1867; knew Job Davis until he died, and
knew Eddy and his writing. Ee SAW him
write the James Davis will. The witness
gave it as his firm conviction that j. Il.
Eddy wrote the contested will. The wit
ness further said that James Il. Eddy was
poor speller and usually went down first
in spelling matches. while Job Davis. who,
the proponents claim, wrote the will, was a
crack speller. He then said that
j. Il. Eddy wsote will for him,
and the will was produced
in court. Col. Ingersoll desired to place it
in evidence to show that the mistakes in
spelling in this will are exactly the same as
tho contested will. This offer was not
allowed. Moses Polin said that he went to
school with Job Davis, who was a good
writer, and in school set copy for the wit
ness. The alleged will was shown, and he
said he didn't thiuk Job Davis wrote 1t.
He did not think tho name job Davis on
the alleged will was like tho real signature
of Job Davis. On cross examination he
said he had seen none of Job Davis writing
since 1860. He said Job Davis was a good
speller and usually spelled down all adver-
saries. He was confident dob Davis never
spelt give "guive." w. C. Rogers, farmer
of Davis county, Iowa, had gone to school
with Job Davis; has seen his writing; was
shown the will and did not believe Job
wrote it.

Tho Matter Of fenmnnship.

BurrE. Aug. 10.-[Special. The largest
crowd that ever assembled in this county at
n trial gathered this morning to witness
the trial of the men accused OF the murder
of w. j. Penrose. Not only was the court
room jammed full, but the hallway and
stairway were crowded. Most of those in
the crowd were evidently of the laboring
class. The prisoners, Deeney, Hickey and
Kelly, were brought in. looking we'll and
smiling cheerfully as they shook hands
with friends, who crowded toward them.
The commotion upon the entrance OF the
prisoners caused the floor of the court room
to tremble, and down in the sheriff's office
underneath Il big crack appeared in the
ceiling. The officers below rushed out
from under, and even the court
officers called on the crowd
to move out of the room. Nobody budged.
The crowd evidently regarded this as a
bluff. Judge McMurphy then declared that
possible calamity WAS impending and
called on all to leave the room. Even this
failed to drive out the crowd and the only
thing left to do was to adjourn court until
two o'clock. Meanwhile the county COM
missioners had examined the condition OF
the floor and now ordered the court to va
cate the court room as being insecure. The
commissioners were asked to hire the opera
house for the trial, but refused to bear the
expense, so the hearing was adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the city
hall.

reached 81. All afternoon ambulances
we're busy carrying people prostrated by
hent to the hospital. Nothing like it has
been recorded at this time of tho year for
nearly twenty years, and continuance dur

OF mortality, especially in the crowded tene-

in precarious condition. Three per-
sons are reported having been rendered
insane by heat. A number of members of

day. The heat WAS particularly severe on
horses, many being overcome. Scenes In
the tenement district tonight arc beyond
description. The entire population has de-
serted the tenements and sought the house

however. by this means, as the thick walls
are sending forth the heat accumulated
during the day. The entire population is
looking with foreboding for the dawn OF

Markets and CrOnS.

LONDON, Aug, 10.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press says the lack of dry heat has caused
the harvest to be late The next fortnight
is the critical period for the failure or sue
cess of crops. English wheats bid in slow.
Sales were at 3S(039 for red and 4O(G41 for
ordinary white. Many exchanges are al
most empty and business has been ex-
tremely limited. Foreign wheat advanced
slightly. In spring grain trading is in
favor of holders for barley, oats, pulse and
corn, while lentils and rye are stronger.
To-day English wheat was SO scarce as to
be practically unquotable. In foreign
wheat there was small advance for SPOT.
Russian wheat was stitliy supported.
Samples OF American red winter wheat
were received to-day by port and eagerly
scanned, rs a largo surplus of that quality
of wheat is expected and has greatly af-
fected the market. Good milling is usually
shown. Flour is dull. The scarcity of
barley prevented a decline in the prices of
that cereal, but the, market could not be
called iirm. Swedish oats were firm and
English oats almost unobtalnable. Corn
was firm, but inactive.

Rev. Il. j. May in prayer. There was an
other hymn, when the pastor introduced
Mr.. Knight, the assistant superintendent
of the Sunday school, who gave very COM
prehensive history Of the school since it's
organization in 1872. An address was de-
livered by Judge N. w. Mcdonnell, presi-
dent of the board of trustees. Mayor
Klelnschmidt who was also down on the
programme for an address, was delayed
and could not be present. The pastor
called upon Francis Murphy to fill Mr..
Kleinschmidts time, which he did with
great satisfaction to the audience. The
stone was then laid by Mrs. j. M. Wood

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-A Washington special
SAYS that man who talked with Col. A. l..
Conger, of Ohio, member of the national
republican committee, is authority for the
statement that James G. Blaine, health per-
mitting, will be in the hands of his friends
when the nominating convention meets in
1892 This gentleman says that Conger
broached the subject to Blaine, who seemed
rather indisposed to talk about it at all.
Col Conger then dwelt at length upon the
steadfastness of Blaine's friends, recalled
numerous instances of their faithful adher-
ence to him under any circumstances and
said that his (Blaine's) friends ought to
have something to say in the next conven-
ton. Republicans generally wished to see
him president and were confident that vic
tory with anv other man as nominee was
uncertain. MIR. Blaine, it is said, showed
great feeling when Conger dilated upon
the faithful services of his friends in the
past and said he had very good DISPOSE
ton to serve them and the Republican
party, too, and that he would not now
decline the nomination in advance.
"Whether he told Conger directly that he
would take the nomination or not" con-
tinued the gentleman, II do not know, but
this much ] can say, Conger says that
Blaine will accept, and SO believe now all
of Blaine's friends"

KANSAS C1rY, Kan. Aug. !. 10.-The mayor and

at the hands of crowd of 300 taxpayers.
The excitement arose over the proposition
of the city council to purchase the plant of
the electric light and power company for

tion, it being believed that improper in
ducements had been offered to the
council. At mass meeting this
evening presided over by Hon. John B.
Scroggs, head of the Kansas City, Kan.,
bar, intemperate speeches were made and a
committee of fifteen appointed to present a
protest. The crowd joined the committee,
and as the march proceeded the excitement
grew, until the mutterings of the crowd
eliminated in shouts of Lynch them" and

iourned. When the crowd found the cham
