Men Who Swindle Them Cannot be
Convicted in Court.
NASHVILLE. TENN, May 13-The jury
in the Cullen Mexican lottery case to-day
rendered verdict of not guilty. The at
torneys for Cullen in their argument had
pressed the proposition that there could be
no conviction given IL Cullen was guilty
as charged, for the reason that the false
pretense Of which he was accused was made
during the commission of the crime, and
that the Mexican Lottery Company and
its associates in this unlawful under
taking was not within the protection
of the criminal law. Judge Ridley
concluded that the point was well taken
and in his charge to the jury said that if the
defendant, Cullen. Charles Duncan and the
Bank of Commerce., and the Mexican Lot
terry Company had q contract under which
other parties were aiding Cullen in the sale
of lottery tickets in the state and if in fur
therance of that conspiracy Cullen was to
make out and present genuine list Of win
ners in the lottery, and instead of doing SO
presented fraudulent list and
thereby obtained money from
the bank yet he could not
be convicted because the law in reference to
false pretense was enacted for the protection
of honest persons, and if these persons were
engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to vio-
late the law against selling lottery tickets,
they could not be protected, nor would any
of them be afforded relief under the laws Of
this state

mise Past Differences al33s
DUBLIN, May 13.-William O'Brien de-
livered speech in Cork tonight In which
he said that the committee OF the McCar-
thyites had recently considered the creation
of board of concilllation with the idea of
avoiding conflicts by not contesting seats
which Redmondites are likely to win, but
the scheme fell through. owing TO tue OBJ
jections Of Mr.. Healy and the attitude of
the Redmondites. The idea, he said, was not
to create a second party, but gradually
TO efface the factionists by introduc-
ing better state of feeling. A
large number of persons belonging to
the Parnellite party gathered about the
building In which the meeting was held,
and acteds in very disorderly manner
They yelled wildly throughout the whole
time the meeting was in progress, inter-
fering greatly with Mr.. O'Brien and the
other speakers. The PArnellites attacked
the band, which had been hired for the
occasion. While the members were en-
deavoring to gain admittance to the build
roughly by the crowd, aud
their instruments were torn from their
grasp and smashed TO pieces. The action of
the mob at length became SO threatening that
those present at the meeting deemed it i'm
prudent to venture forth when the proceed
ings had terminated, and the aid of the
military had TO b invoked in order to en-
able the audience to disperse in safety

discuss in detail some of the arrangements
to be made for the convention to be held

ing for admission, and only 1900 could
get in.

If the doors sVere thrown open to the crowd
the committee would regret that 1t ever at
tempted TO hold the convention. No nomi-
nations would be made in week, If at all,

Peoples party. There was enough op-
position in some parts of the country 10 cause
the house to be packed by enemies of the
party and the proceedings to be disgraceful.
IL was proposed to hold a union OF the blue
and the gray during the convention.
Mr.. Vandervert stated that the union
soldiers and Peoples party in this state
would attend to that matter, and Mr.. Davis
could tell all the old gray coats in tho south

take care of them and hall furnished for
the blue and the gray to howl in together.

visions or arrangements that they may wish

ecutive committee

DENVER, COL, May ia special from

"At O'Clock last night fire was seen issuing
from the roof OF the attic near the base of
the south dome of New Mexico's magnifi-
cent capitol building Citizens at once
drew up the fire hose only to find that the
water from the water works had been shut
off from the building and grounds, or re-
duced to mere drop, and it was at once
evident that the building was doomed. All
hands at once stripped the building of its
furniture, carpets, law library, and
every movable article on the
two lower floors. The vaults are
uninjured. Owing to some misunderstood
ing in the late territorial legislature no
money was appropriated for insurance on
the public buildings, and the policies were
allowed to expire. The building was val-
ued at $3.50, 900, and is a total loss.

follows: awe demand that the gov

theory by providing that the differ

Before the New York convention
Mr.. Hill in his speech said: 81 do
not shirk deadly grapple with the
Republican revolutionists, whose ban l.
ners no longer fly the tariff'of 1883,
but now fly the mad Mckinley laws
and wild Sherman law and mock us
from the citadels of power" We are
left to infer that If the Republicans
were flying the tariff banner of 1883
Hill would shirk. This inference is
strengthened by the fact that
Hill favors return to the tariff Of
1888. 1t is further strengthened by
the fact that when the Republicans
met US in the last national battle that
was their banner and they carried Hills
state. 1t is further strengthened by
the fact that while New York endors
ed the Republican tariff of 1888 it al
So endorsed Hill for governor.

what the new attractions would be
nor who would introduce them, but L
observe that the old fashion dances

1t is big feather for Galveston. The
headquarters came to Waco without
solicitation and the officers here did
all in their power to obtain the ends
desired. They would have eventually
succeeded, but the new plan makes
success certain. In this connection
am reminded that Waco will lose an
elegant and accomplished gentleman
in the person of Mr.. Dudley Bryan,
the secretary of the association. He
has been here only short while but
has made many friends who will re-
greet his departure. Mr.. Bryan is an
able and experienced journalist and
his Worlds Fair work is little re-
creation which will put him in better
trim than ever, for newspaper work
when the Worlds Fair is over.
