TH8 JUDGES DISAGREE,
And Jersey Cisy's Election Oroolra
Were Not aantanoad


JERSEY CITY, Aug. 12.-There was a
crowd of officials and politicians in the
Hudson county court house yesterday,
as it was expected that batch of the
convicted election inspectors would be
sentenced. Judge Lippincott, after con-
sulting with his associates on the bench,
announced that, as the court absolutely
disagreed, no sentences would be pro.
nounced until September 2. The defen-
dants will continue out on bail.
Judge Lippincott made a speech in
which he spoke of the enormity of the
offenses against the purity of the ballot.
He said: "The political equality of men
demands that Justice should be meted
out for such offenses, otherwise govern
ment becomes merely the dictation of "a
petty boss; labor could have no elevation
or dignity where such things prevailed,
and patriotism is lost forever. We hope
that never again will such blight fall
upon the fair name Of our country"
When Judge Lippincott had finished
Lay Judge Kenney said, with emphasis:
"All have to say is while l sit here
no man shall be prosecuted. Every man
shall be tried by a jury of his peers.
have no fear of public clamoring, and
no concern for rewards or punishments.
l sit here with eyes blinded like the
figure of justice. / recognize the law,
the crime, the recommendation of the
jury, and the pleas of guilty. l have
studied law forty years and study it
still, end feel fairly we'll versed in my
duty" These remarks made a sensa-
tion in court,

THE IRON HALL SCANDAL.
Davis and Walker Charged with Con
spiraoy to Wreck the Order.

bp1dCY 10 WIeCR Lue SfdeIs
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug, 12.-The
supreme council of the order of the Iron
Hall began its investigation yesterday
of the condition of that organization.
Twenty-eight of the forty delegates
were present. When the sitting ad-
journed the members were asked what
had been done, but they refused to make
anything public except the fact that a
committee of three had been appointed
to investigate the books of the order
The names of the committee were re.
fused
While the supreme council was in ses-
sion a dozen attorneys were before
Judge Taylor arguing the application
for q receiver made last week. Neither
the plaintiffs nor the defendants were
in court. Attorney Hawkins, represent
ing the plaintiffs, made the opening
statement, reiterating the allegations
in the complaint and amplifying them
supreme officers had conducted the af-
fairs with the utmost extravaganza. At
Omaha in 1889 the four days session OF
the supreme council, which was com
posed of only forty members, cost the
organization S15, 900. The council had
given champagne supper to the board
of trade of that city and had presented the
mayor with an expensive silver service.
1t also voted $1,000 to Somerby as gift.
Other similar incidents were related by
the attorney.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Somerby
and the executive committee of the or.
der appeared in court. Judge Howe
made the opening speech for the defend
ant, in which he said that they were not
ready to go to trial. He denied all allie.
cations as to any dishonesty, but admit
ted and sought to explain many points
made by the prosecution. Money had
been ''borrowed," he said, from the re-
serve fund, but paid back. The heavy
expense account was due to Legislative
lobbying in fighting the old line insur-
ance companies efforts to overthrow
the order in eastern states three years
ago.
He admitted that there were $500, ,000
of the orders funds in the Mutual bank
of Philadelphia when the crash of the
Spring Garden and Keystone banks
came, and when the court ordered that
$4,000 be put in the bank the supreme
officers put that much more of the or
der's funds in rather than lose what it
had, There is now, he said, some $780,
600 Of the orders funds in the bank.
He closed by declaring that the writ
was the result of a conspiracy within
the order to drive Somerby out, init
mating that the chief conspirators were
Supreme Cashier Davis and Supreme
Accountant Walker.
The investigating committee ap-
pointed yesterday reported to the sitting
this morning to the effect that Supreme
Cashier Davis and Supreme Accountant
Walker have been recreant to their
trust, in that they Joined in conspiracy
with the plaintiff Of the present suit to
wreck the order.

FEE PARDON OF KING.
Governor Buchanan Gives His Reasons
for Extending Executive Clemency.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 12.-H. Clay
King, the Memphis murderer, arrived in
this city yesterday and was at once
taken to the state prison by Sheriff Nc
Lendon. The sheriff brought the pris.
oner through NortonsvilIe, KY. Their
journey was quiet one.
Governor Buchanan was asked his
reasons for the Communication of Kings
sentence. He replied: "First thought
that King should have q change of
venue. Affidavits to the effect that
Juror Smith had communicated with
outside parties and expressed an opin-
ion about the case were filed with me.
These afidavits could not be introduced
in the court of record, because il was
too late. The action of Juror Muslin
and of the jury in going to Arkansas to
deliberate upon the case had their
weight too; the dissenting of one of the
supreme judges in the defense of partial
insanity; the pleadings of his wife and
children and the most prominent men
of the country, besides the hundreds of
letters and petitions-these were my
reasons for committing the sentence. I
am responsible for my action. thought
! was doing right, and l acted accord
ing to my belief"
He then handed the reporter petition
signed by twenty-six United States SEN
ators and congressman.

from this city. Mrs. Kester gave her
4weeks-old girl milk poisoned with
trough on rats" The babe died and
funeral services were in progress when
they were stopped by Constable Minor,
who had heard rumors regarding the
mothers treatment of her little ones.
That evening Mrs. Kester took her
other child, aged 2 years, and, after try
ing unsuccessfully to drown him in a
basin of water, carried him a mile and
half to the farm Of Joseph Richards,
where she tossed her boy down seventy
foot well, drowning him.
Returning to the village she told
Druggist Cook what she had done and
then tried to drown herself in Lake
Madison, but was prevented. She was
arrested on the coroner's warrant, a
verdict charging her with murder hav-
ing been returned by the coroner's jury.
The woman was only prevented from
committing suicide in the Jail by close
watching,

LIZZIE BORDEN ARRESTED.
Held as an Accessory in the Murder ol
Her Parents.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 12.-The in
quest in the Borden murder case was re-
sumed yesterday behind closed doors.
Just what was developed at the hearing
it is impossible to learn at present. but
from the fact that Miss Lizzie Borden
has been placed under arrest it is evil
dent that facts have been developed
which point to her as at least an ac-
cessory before the fact in the murder of
her father and stel mother. Miss Bor-
den was taken to Jail at once.
A second autopsy was held in the
ladies' waiting room at the Oak Grove
cemetery. Mrs. Borden's body was ex-
humed first. The new fact discovered
was bruise on the back, near the left

THE TORY MINISTRY RESIGNS

A sccne OF Widest Excitement

LONDON, Aug. 12.-After a session OF

mons yesterday passed the amendment

with tumults of applause, the Irish mem
bers being especially vigorous in expires.
sions Of enthusiasm. The Liberal mem
bers crowded about Mr.. Gladstone, who
was beaming with satisfaction, and
cheered again and again. while the Con-
servatives remained in their seats with
glum looking countenances. When the
uproar had subsided motion to ad-
> journ was put and Immediately carried,

still cheering. Outside Mr.. Gladstone
received an ovation from the assembled
thousands.
Lord Salisbury visited the queen at
the palace this forenoon and rendered
the resignation of the ministry. The
queen has summoned Mr.. Gladstone to
form new cabinet.
Some Sharp Passages.
Yesterdays contest was enlivened by
many sharp passages between the rival
partisans. In the course of the discus
sion w. W. Allen, Liberal, defended
home rule. He said that the American
colonies had been lost to England for
evermore because England had at
tempted to dictate to them as to their
domestic affairs. Canada was happy
and prosperous because it had its own
legislature. During his address Mr..
Macarthney said that the gentleman
from Dublin (Mr. W. FIELD wanted to
wade in Protestant blood. This state
ment was received with cries of "Oh,
OH" from the Irish benches, and Mr.
Mccartney subsequently withdrew it
and apologized. Admiral Field, Con-
servative, said that the government, by
firing at the opposition for three days,
would have sunk it had it not been for
the Cork dust of the Irish lifeboats. 1t
would be the bounden duty of the house
of lords, he said, to reject bill sent it
by miserable majority of forty Irish
men.
