Acquittal Of DR.. j. A. P. Baker.
ABINGDON, VA, March The second
trial of DIR. J. A. p. Baker for the murder
of his wife by poisoning was ended this
evening, the jury bringing in verdict of
mot guilty." The court house was pack
ed with people, aud when the jury came
in at O'Clock, after an absence of an
hour an6 a-half, and the clerk had read
the verdict, most nusual scene was en-
acted. Shonts of "Hurrah for DR.. Baker,
huTrah for Botetourt,' we're sounded from
hundreds of threats of the best people IN
the county. There is an indictment
againse DR.. Baker for poisoning W. r.
Gilmer. This, it IS believed, will be dis
missed. At the first trial DR.. Baker was
convicted of murder in the first degree,
but a new TRIAL was granted by the circuit
Judge on exceptions to a number OF the
rulings of Judge Ward, of the county
court, before whom DR.. Baker was tried.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg IRder-A appeal says: State
Chen is. JDIlliam Il. Taylor who was a
witness for the commonwealth against
DR.. John A. 2. Baker, who was acquitted
in Abingdon yesterday of wife murder,
told the Iader-Appedl correspondent today
that he was not surprised at the verd C
Had he been on the jury he would have
had to find the man not guilty according
to the evidence offered, whatever might
have been his opinion as to whether oil
not he committed the crime. The com
mon wealth made out very weak case
according to Dr. Taylor HIS testimony
and that of Mrs. Gllmer was all that tho
prosecution had to depend upon. Mrs
Gimer admitted that she had made false
statements and proved herself unworthy
of belief while the doctor says he was IN
able to give any very strong testimony for
the prosecution. UThile the chemist was
not surprised at the verdict, he was as
tonished that the people in the court
room should have made such demonstra-
ton when such man as DR.. Baker was
liberated.
DR.. Tay lor met Mr.. Glmer and formed
very favorable impression of him. He
svmpathizes with the wronged husband,
but he has very little sympathy for Dr.
Baker or Mrs. Gllmsr. Mr.. Gilmer, DR..
Taylor said, has been severely criticized
for allowing his wife to remain under bis
roof. The husband may not have acted
the part of a man, according to the gen
eral acceptance of the term, but the Doctor
drinks his conduct was that of Chris
tan. The circumstances were peculiar.
Mrs. Gimer had FIVE little children and,
notwithstanding all her sinful conduct,
sht was a kind and affectlonate mother,
and the children were devoted to her.
NJ. Gilmer for their sakes allowed the
mother to remain under his roof,

"a Long Time Between Drinks"


Hard tines, failures, politics, and every
thing else haYe taken a back seat in
North Carolina. The liquor question is
tie leading and exciting topic, and it is
"a long time between drinke." Mecklcu-
burg County Commissioners started the
ball last spring, when it was announced
that a majority OF the Commissioners
would vote to refuse licenses. Recently
the Commissioners in Iredeil and Goston
counties refused to grant licenses. Both
OF these counties contained many small
distilleries. They are dry as powder now.
Every day brings news of more dry
counties. Al4mance, Person, Robson,
Montgomery, Stanley, and a number Of
other counties have refused TO grant IL
censes to either saint or sinner. and there
appears to be an 0rgauized effort to kill
the liquor traffic in North Carolina. OF
course the liquor men are making a de-
termined fight. They put forward their
best men with aprl cations for licenses,
bnt invariably the Commissioners say no.
The Commissioners don't say that no nun
who sells liquor can prove a good moral
character, but ;hey do say that none Of
those who have applied so far have, in
their estimation, a very good character
not good enough to get the coveted il
censes anyway.
In Granville county the Town Com
missIoners refused to continue the saloon
licenses. The saloon men made fight
and won. TheiI licenses read: Grant
ed to July l, 1892" In this way they
will continue to hold the fort until July,
but those who know say that Oxford will
be dry after July l. A number of leading
newspapers uphold the Commissioners
Recent decisions of the Supreme Court
fully sustain them, aud there seems 20 be
no appeal. That strong temperance sen
timent is abroad IN that State no one will
deny, and the end is not YET.

MIR. Massey's "vindication.

In published card in reference to the
charges made against him by Senator
Flood, Mr.. Massey, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, says:
although the committees report was
Sufficient viDdication, have deemed it
proper to give this simple statement and
leave all to determine how much impor'
lance is to be attached to the croaking of
disappointed fossils or the growing OF as
spring fledgelings."
Mr.. Massey cannot dismiss the matter
IN this off hand manner. The committees
report is not a vindicatiOn, but a con-
domination of his irregular and illegal
methods of drawing money from the
State treasury. And the adoption of this
report by the Senate by a unanimous
vote emphasizes the dIsapproval of the
committee, which Mr. Massey would
dtlude the public into believing "vindi
cation" 1t is about such a vndicatiOn
as a "Scotch verdict" would be, and it
will have the effect of subiecting Mr..
Massey's expense accounts to very rigid
scrutiny hereafter before they are paid
He cannot even draw the 500 per annuU
which the law allows for his travelling
and incidental expenses, as he has been
doing heretofore, except upon an itemized
and certified account
THIS is "vindication" with vens eance.

Farmer" Edmunds' Tenacity.
HE DIDN'T HEAR ANOTHER MEMBER SPEAK


Richmond Times Washington speCi i says:
In the Democratic caucus the other night
an amusing incident occurred, which
somewhat embarrassed Farmer" Ed
munds. He arose and addressed the Chair
at the same time that Mr.. English. of
Connecticut, asked recognition. There
was a good deal of confusion at the time
and both men thought they were recog-
nzed. Mr.. Edmunds began a speech,
and because of the confusion spoke very
loudly. Mr.. English, who Is extremely
low tone of voice. He had not proceeded
far when he became disgusted at the noise
prevailing, as all the members were laugh
ing at the rival speakers. Mr.. English
grew indignant, aud remarking that he
had supposed he was addressing Demo-
cratic caucus and not a meeting OF black
guards he strobe up the aisle, evidently
with the intention of leaving the House
He walked up the very aisle on the edge
of which stood Farmer Edmunds still GO

prit, said to the Farmer $50 it is you
who have been raising all this distur-
bance."
Farmer Edmunds, with one of his most
complaissnt smiles and genial bows re-
piled "Why, Governor, didn't know |
was speaking in your time" and didn't
know was speaking in yours" added Mr..
English as be stallled ont, while the men,

Mr.. Vance Upset.

Last week, Mr.. Pugh, member Of the

of the regularity Of }lr. Dubois election.
During his argument, when he was crit
clsing the report OF the minority Of the
committee aud the speech in support Of IL
made by Mr. Vance, the charm which
the Senator from North Carolina was

let him tall to the floor with loud crash.
Mr, GRAY and other senators seated near

him from the floor unhurt. Turning i'm
mediatelv to the Senator from ALBANIA,
Mr.. Vance. in his most courteous manner,
said: Il beg the Senator's pardon for
interruptng his remarks to which Mr.
Pugh with equal courtesy replied by ex-
pressing his regret that his argument had
turaed the Senator over. After the
amusement created by this Incident had
subsidized Mr.. Pugh continued his speech.

A Tree Full Of Money.

One of the neatest bunco tricks ever
played euchred Jacob Erinkey, a Wharton
township, Pa, farmer who doesn't believe
in banks. ont of $4,000 A week ago a
well-dressed, polite young man called at
his house, and saying that be was an en-
gineer surveying a railroad, asked for
board. Mr. Priukey took the stranger in.
aud was soon captiyated by his pleasant
manners. The stranger, as be was about
to depart on Tuesday morning, told Farm
or Prinkey that he rad had the same
dream every night be had slept in his
house. lie said he had dreamed that in a
certain tree on Prinkey's farm there was
hidden great wealth. The farmer was at
once interested and said they would 90
and chop the tree down. When the tree
fell. sure enough ont rolled some 81 600 in
shiny silver dollars. Each took half
Just then the stranger remembered that
so much silver would be heavy to carry
and asked the farmer to give him - 1000
in paper money for his share OF the find
PGnkey handed over the money, but yes
to-day all his silver dollars had turned
blue. They were TIN and lead, and had
b en- placed in the tree by the bunco man.

Just So.

The spirit which animates the DEM
ocratic politicians of the present day is
that of reckless and unIeasoDing denunci-
alton of everything done by the Republi
can party or by Republican leaders. They
never stop to inquire whether such and
such measures are right or wrong, but at
once commence to denounce them as
courageous, Revolutionary" and "un-
constitutional, and If subsequent events
prove that they have been wrong in their
it makes no difference, and
they turn around and say, "well, these
measures may have been right and con-
stltutioual, but we will not support them
because the Republicans supported them

ton of the Democratic leaders by the

Senator Hills Back Paw.

The only apology made for Senator d.
B. Hills deliberate desertlOn of his post
as United States Senator to go to New
York to manage his personal interests is
that be will not draw his salary.
This Is worse than no apology. When
a United States senator is elected he is
expected to be present IN the Senate I'M
less prevented by illness, Should he
absent himself to attend to his personal
interests he cannot delegate any one else
to take his place. He can resign, and the
Governor of his State appoint his sue
cessor if the Legislature is not in session.
Senator Hill should have resigned. 1t is
bad enough for private individual to be
going about wire-pulling to force himself
upon the people as a presidential nominee,
bnt it Is worse for a United States senator
to be quitting his post to engage in this
sort of scheming. To decline to draw his
salary as senator does not help Senator
Hills position. That is putting a public
trust on too low plane. The United
States Government IS too big for that sort
of economy. fla United States senator
does his duty his pay IN money is but
small part of his reward if he neg,ects
his duty he cannot reimburse the Gov
ernment for that neglect, We suppose
Senator Hill will not draw his pay for
the time he was absent, because he fears
somebody Will say he has gotten money
under false pIetences but it is just as
bad to have the honor of United States
senator's position under false pretences.
1t is stated that Senator Hill SHARPLY"
replied to the clerk who offered him his
back pay. Too late to be sharp now.
The money Is there, and though Mr.. Hill
may decline il. any heir of his can get it
fifty years from now. And people are
not in the habit of electing United States
senators who use the Office as they see fit
come and 90 as the9 choose and make
a convenience oflt.-RichmOnd State, Dem.

to Savannah by her brother-in-Iaw in the
hope that the physicians might be able
to do her some good. Several experts
were called in but they decided that
medicine could do nothing except to ease
her suffering, and that she would never
be able to use her lower limbs. To-day
Miss Evans, who has all her life been very
devout, was silently praying that her
health might be restored, when strange
sensation came over her, coupled with the
idea that her prayer had been granted.
