The number of these loans is about $50,

STOLEN BY GOVERNOR HILL.

Legislature of New York Now in the Hands
of the Democratic Party.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The biggest piece
of news received in Washington to-day
was the telegram saying that Governor
Hill had succeeded in capturing the New
York Legislature. For the first time in
decade both branches of the Legislature
are in accord with the Democratic Gov
ernor, and the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals to-d day, which makes the New York
Senate tie on organization. with Demo
cratic Lieutenant-governor to cast the de-
ciding vote, means o complete revolution
in New York. The fact which. in the eyes
of Washington people. is of far more copse-
quence than the mere spoils of Office. which
will now be handed over to Mr.. Hills
retainers, is that this new Demo
ceed to strengthen itself by throw
ing ont Republican members wherever
there is contest. and will then proceed to
enact legislation which, in their own Ian
guaRe. will entrench the party beyond all
hope of Republican assault From q na-
tional point of view. their most important
act will be to reapportion the State.
ave will make the State safe for 40. 900
majority in this Legislature" said ON ad
mirer of Senator Hills to-day: though"
he added after o moments pause. eff we
need q bigger majority, we may make it
bigger"
Senator Hiscock was not to be seen TO-
day. His opinion of the decision would
have been of interest, for there Is every
reason to fear that this decision may be a
h-knell of his senatorial career. I'm
less the Republican leaders can get to-
gether and devise some means of
of Appeals, the Democrats will carry
through an enumeration dill, followed
promptly by reapportionment and redis-
tricting bills. Mr.. Hiscock's term will not
expire until March3. lS93 but his successor
will be elected by the next Legislature,
and that next Legislature, under the pres
ent condition of affairs, will be almost in
evitably Democratic.
There Is naturally some speculation as to
who will be the next Senator. 1t il held In
Democratic circles that If Mr.. Cleveland
fails to secure the nomination next June,
or il being nominated, he is again defeat
ed, he might well emulate the example of
such distinguished predecessors as Presi.
dent Adams or President johnson, both of
whom, it will be remembered, consented to
serve their country in Congress after they
left the White House.
Senator Hilrs success in this legislative
capture will make him the hero of the
Democrats of the United States Senate.
Heis expected here next Monday after
noon. and will formally take his seat on
Tuesday,

called arsenic, from the taking of such
poison the said Josephine A. Barnaby be-
came sick and from which sickness she
died on the 18th day of April. 1891. The
third count of the Indictment differs from
the second cOunt In substance only IN that
it charges tho defendant with having
caused said deadly poison to be admins
tered to aud taken and swallowed by said
Josephine A. Barnaby, instead OF charging
the defendant with having administered
said deadly poison to said Josephine A.
Barnaby and caused the same to be taken
and swallowed by her.
Tho court instructs you that the law
presumption continues until overthrown
by evidence sufficient to exclude all reason
able doubt of his guilt. The indictment
against the defendant is no evidence of his
gnilt but is merely local charge for the
purpose of putting him upon trial. You
ought to commence the investi CATION OF the
case with the presumption that the de-
fendant is innocentof the crime OF which
he Is accused. and you should act upon this
presumption througbout yonr considera-
iion of the evidence. unless tins presump-
tion of innocence is overcome by a proof OF
guilt 50 strong. credible and conclusive to
convince your minds beyond reasonable
donbt of his guilt Then you ought to
acquIt him. The court instructs You that
in arriving at yonr verdict in this case you
must wholly disregard anything which
you may have heard before you were ac-
cepted as Jurors and you must not allow
any feelings of fear or favor or any express
sions either in favor or against the do
fendant to influence you in any degree. and
your verdict must be based solely on the
evidence in the case" Then followed the
forms of verdict TO be returned.
