GOING TO HIS WEDDING.

A Pittsburg Telegraph Operator Attempts
Suicide Within an Hour of the Time
Fixed for His Marriage-The Would-Be
Bride Frustrated With Grief
Jacob S Heagey, a telegraph operator
employed in the offices of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company in this city,
shot himself in the forehead at Beatty
station yesterday at 1880. He was pas
senger on the express east, and was to have
been married to Miss Maggie Dunlap, of
Beatty's, at 1 o'clock. As the train was
nearing Beatty's he went into the closet
Immediately on closing the door he fired
the shot which will doubtless cause his
death.
He was taken to Latrobe, where a
physician attended him. Quite q party of
the wedding guests were assembled with
the bride-to-be awaiting his arrival When
told OF the attempt at self murder by h9
lover she fell in a faint, and is now lying in
a dangerous condition ut her home. Heagey,
who is well known in Greensburg, was
there on Wednesday. Yesterday morning
he got his marriage license. He is "a years
old, and came from Lancaster, Pa.
The only thing in the nature of griev-
ance he is known to have is the fact that he
was disappointed in not getting his we'd
ding clothes from Pittsburg tailor He
left the home of his affianced saving that if
ne didn't get his clothes he didn't know
what he would do. He came from the city
without them and many of his acquaint-
ances believe this trivial matter upset his
reason. Everything that medical skill .can
suggest is being done for him, bit the ply
sicians in charge of his case stated last
night that there is little hope of his re-
covery.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-28

fact Mr. Braddocks took the offensive on a
legal point directly the case was called He
made a motion to quash the Indictment on
three grounds, first that the civil courts
had no iurisdiction; second, that the indict-
ment was not predicated on an information
charging the statutory offense of aggravated
assault and battery, and third, rs to the
charge of cutting, stabbing and wounding
in the second count the indictment was not
supported BY the information upon which
it was predIcated.
The Extent of Military Discipline.
In the plea which he made, Mr.. Brad
docks recited how the punishment of Iams
came about The National Guard had been
ordered to Homestead by the Governors
proclamation, and Iams was subject to
military discipline to be enforced by the
defendants, who were all duly commits
stoned officers of the Tenth Regiment. On
July %, after the news of the murderoAs
assault upon Mr. Frick had reached the
camp, Iams, who, with the rest of the
Tenth, had been ordered out to quell
any disturbance that might arise, had
shouted in the company street before
many of his comrades in the
ranks: "Three cheers for the man who
killed Frlck." He acknowledged that he
had done this and refused to make any
apology when his superior officer made in
quiry. He was accordingly hung up by the
thumbs for as long time as might be with
out inflicting permanent injury. Mr.. Brad
docks in admitting these facts denied the
jurisdiction of the court and contended that
the proper tribunal. that is to say court
martial, was provided by the act of 1887 un-
der which the National Guard was organ
lied.
The Question OF Jurisdiction Postponed
Judge Porter refused pro forma to grant
the motion to quash the indictment, leaving
the defendants the ight to raise the ques-
tion during the trial or in arrest of judg-
ment. So the trial went on. and after an
hour or more of hard labor wrestling with
jurors who showed symptoms of having
opinions and other undesirable evidences Of
mental activity the box was filled. Here is
the jury: Charles Michael, clerk, Allie

WOMEN WANT TO VOTE.

| They Hold Meeting and Discuss the Best
Way to Secure the Right Of Suffrage
Will Ask for an Amendment to the Con-
stitution.
A Anumber of ladies and gentlemen of Al
legheny who believe that women should
have the right to vote met in Carnegie Hall
at s o'clock last night and effected tenn
porary organization of what is to be known
as the State Equal Suffrage League Rev.
j. W. Sproull, D. D., was made Chairman
of the meeting, and Mrs. George King Sec
retary. A constitution and bylaws which
had been previously prepared were read,
and it was decided to make the organization
a permanent one, and at 9:15 the meeting
adjourned to meet in Carnegie Hall at 3
Friday evening, November IL
Mrs King, the secretary, in speaking of
the formation of the league last night said:
forming an organization which will work in
the interest of all women who wish to exer-
else the right of suffrage. We do not wish
to be classed as a Woman's Rights organi-
zation. We are simply banding ourselves
together for the purpose of getting an
amendment to the State constitution passed
that will give women a constitutional right
to vote. Branch organizations will be
formed all over the State, and think We
have enough influence back of us to make
the league success, and to make it SO dis
tinctively felt that those who control the
politics of the State will recognize the
league, and assist us in having the amend
ment passed We do not care to make pub
lie at present the names of the people who
have offered US financial support as well as
sympathy and encouragement We know
they have influence and money and that
they will gladly give us both. The State
Equal Suffrage League will accomplish its
mission. We are perfectly satisfied it will"

are two lines of argument in the defend
ants plea. First, they say they lad the
right to punish Iams; second, that there
may have been an offense committed Of
which courts martial have exclusive juris-
dctiou. Now let me ask, the National
Guard not being in the field, could court
martial be convened now and impose pun
ishment similar to that imposed in the
United States army courts? Could it i'm
pose three years imprisonment for in
stance?"
The attorneys for the defense chorused
yes, and the prosecutions lawyers as en-
phatically shouted no. After discussing
this point for some time and citing cases,
Fitz John Porter's among others, on both
sides, the Court took the papers and re-
served his decision, Judge Porter remarking
that his impression was at that juncture
that Q court martial convened uow could
only impose military punishment The case
will be continued to-day at $780,

A JOKE ON HIS WIFE.

"A Man Who Laughed When He Heard That
His Consort Had Taken Out q License to
Marry Another Fellow-He Enjoyed the
Fun.
The queer spectacle was witnessed in the
marriage license Office yesterday of a man
laughing with great gusto and treating as q
huge joke the fact of his wife marrying an
ther man when she had no right to do SO.
The individual, man about 25 years of
age, entered the Office and asked for infor-
nation concerning couple whose names he
gave. He was told they had taken out q
marriage license on September &C.
The man at this had good laugh aud e1-
claimed: "Why, she's my wife 7"
The clerk informed him that the lady had
sworn she had never been married before.
The visitor replied that she was married
to him three years ago in Greensburg and
they were not divorced. She was but II
years old then. He heard she was living
with another man in McKeesport and he
wanted to find out about it. Every few
minutes he would shake his head and laugh
heartily at the idea of 'that woman" get
ting married when she had no business to.
Not content with this he told the affair to
every one who entered the office, as great
Joke on the woman. He finally left with q
broad grin on his face, remarking "I'll
settle the business for them" He neglected
to give his name, and as the woman had
given her maiden name there was no clew to

but if anything the prosecution liked the
looks of the II good men and true best
Court adjourned at 1920 till 1:15, when it
reconvened in smaller room belonging to
Common Pleas No. 3
The first thing that happened when the
lawyers had settled down In their new
quarters was the revival of the defense's
plea, this time as special plea
Plea of Jurisdiction Again Argued.
Attorney Iams for the prosecution de-
INJURED, saving: 'Not admitting the truth
of the statements in the plea, 1 contend
that the same if true do not constitute q
good and lawful defense to the offense
charged"
This Sc. the big guns of the other side
to Juggling out more law books, and Judge
Porter selected a few humping tones for
his own perusal. Mr.. Iams went on to
attack the plea because it tailed to allege
that court martial was held or tlst the
officers accused took Private Iams before q
court martial. A mere order of an officer
or officers did not give the defendants
authority to assault 1ams
Senator Robbins then proceeded to argue
in favor of the plea He said that the de-
fense's view was that the Court had no jurs-
diction. The act of 1887 furnished a complete
system of Jurisprudence for the National
Guard; and under this system court martial
was provided to which resort could be had
by the soldier for redress. He
enumerated the military courts of various
grades. from regimental to brigade,
including one for a provisional brigade.
Then he defined mutiny, and with some
eloquence described Iams' offense, which he
claimed was clearly mutinous The act of
1887 further provided that in case of war,
insurrection or other emergency bringing
the National Guard into active service
the discipline should conform to that of the
regular army, and the United States Army
regulations should govern all cases.
A Coloners Summary Power.
The colonel of a regiment was bound to
suppress mutiny summarily, for the soldier
who even knew of contemplated mutiny
and failed to report it, or the officer who
failed to suppress it without delay, was
liable to court martial or even death. In
this case the defendants encountered mu-
tiny and strung the offender up by the
thumbs He cited many cases in the United
States courts and State courts to establish
this view. Under the State code ten days
notice of a court martial had to be
given, but in Iams' case immediate
