A SURPRISE VERDICT
Finding of the Jury in Tena
Davis Case Criticised.
TREFETHEN's COUNSEL wEPT,
The Lawyer Unuerv3d Whep He Heard the
Announcement Of Guilty,
TRETETHENs COUNSEL wEPT.

He Had Confidently Expected That the
Attempt TO PROVE AN AIibi would Prove
ssful-Trefethen's Brother-in- Law,
who Was Tried AS an Accessory to the
Murder, Goes Free-Hlstory of tho Crime
of tho Accused.
BosToN, May 5.-The sensational mur.
der trial which has occupied thd atten-
tion of the community for a week was
ended in the Superior Court in Cam
bridge last night with a verdict Of guilty
against one of the defendants and the
acquittal of the.other. J. Albert Tefe-
then was pronounced guilty of Jhe muir
der Of Deltlna J. Davis, whom he had
deceived and afterward, the verdict de-
clares, threw into the Mystic River
where heleft her to drown
Ex-Governor John D. Long, the elo-
quent lawyer and adroit politician, who
made his debut as a criminal lawyer in
this case, made a long argument to
prove that the girl committed suicide
but his defence was swept away by At
torney-General Pillsbury when he cited
the evidence of witness who heard a
woman's screams on the bridge at the
hour when the tragedy must have oc-
Cured. "a woman when about TO COM
nit suicide doesn't proclaim the fact by
screams, - exclaimed the AtJoruey-Gen-
eral. The Ex-Governor wept when the
verdict was announced.
The attempt to prove an alibi for Ire
fethen was well carried out and many
thought it would succeed, 50 that there
is considerable surprise at the verdict.
The second defendant, Trefethen's
brother-in-law, Smith, was not brought
into the case at ALL and his conviction
as an accessory was not expected
The dead girl was honest and indus
trious, the proprietor of little store in
Everett Trefethen was engaged to a
girl in distant part of Boston, had
been engaged to her seven years. yet he
wooed ''Iena" whom he promised to
marry. Her opportunities for the legal
iziug Of their union became too much
for him and on the night of the 23d Of
December, laJl sac left her mother 3
home never go return.
On the following morning Mrs. Davis,
the mother, received an unsigned letter,
purportug To- be from "Tena," stating
that she had resolved to end her life and
eXculpatiug Irefethen from the respou-
sibility Of her trouble.
/ A great many experts testified con
cerning this document and probably it
/ proved the all important bit of evidence
! in the case. That Trefethen wrote it
there is little doubt, Ex-Gov Long
made several exceptions upon which ne
will appeal.

THE BANK VCroRIOUs.
Decision Regarding Ulster 90. Savings
Institution Sustained.

Decision Regarding Ulster 90. Savings
Institution Sustained.
KINGSTON, N. Y, May 5.-The Cen
eral Term has just made an important
order sustaining the decision of Judge
Fursman in the matter of the Ulster
County Savings Institution Last
March, when the Court authorized the
resuminQ of business by the defunct
bank under certain conditions, Judge
Fursman continued an injunction re-
straining depositors from bringing suits
against it.
Despite the injunction, which some
depositors regarded as unwarranted and
unconstitutional, suits were commenced.
Among those who sought to recover the
full amount deposited, although the re-
sumption order scaled all deposits 10
per cent, was Lewis A. Mitchell Of New
York, to whom two depositors had made
an assignment.
An effort was made to vacate the in
junction but failed. An appeal was
then taken to the General Term with the
above result. A victory is thus gained
by the bank.

Success of the Actors Fund Fair.

New YoRK, May 8. The Actors Fund
Fair is proving a gigantic success. The
attendance increases each day, last
evenings having been the largest since
the opening. The crowd was so dense
that progress was almost impossible
The booths were all literally patronized
and the voting spirited. Edwin Booth
and Charles Dickson are neck and neck
for the prize to the most popular actor.
The most popular actress, according to
the votes, is Georgia Cayvan, while Mrs.
A. NJ. Palmer is far in the lead as the
most popular woman at the fair.

A SOLDIERS TRIBUTE.

Col. Quay Praised for Bravery and Patri-
otic Interest in the Country's Welfare.
No more cordial and hearty declaration
in favor of Senator Quay's reelection, Of all
the warm Endorsements of his candidacy
from war veterans Of Pennsylvania, has
been given than that of Commander W. W.
Tyson, of the Pennsylvania Soldiers aud
Sailors Home at Erie.
Commander Tyson wishes it understood
that he is not in politics When, however,
he was asked his views on the senatorship,
the brave old warrior promptly replied:
Gas a soldier ! prefer Quay. Very few
soldiers but would honor and do honor the
brave among their number and it requires
a different kind of courage for a man who
has been discharged from the army, on the
field to volunteer his services when battle
is in progress, than to perform all the duties
in that battle that would deYolve upon u
part Of the army This Colonel Quay did
do at the battle of Fredericksburg, when it
is not too much TO say that the large proper
tion of the army, after having served their
term, would have taken advantage Of the
opportunity and escaped battle, particular
ly if in bad health at the time.

apparent that he had a hold on the affec-

no hostility to Dalzell and he was treated

The Democratic Commissioner OF the
bureau Of labor statistics OF New York,
did nothing of the sort. He took fig
ures furnished him in secrecy by pro-
tected manufacturers, and not one
worsingmau did he put in evidence.
He did not show even with the manu-
facturers' cooked up figures that the
rate of wages had been raised in a sim
gle instance. And finally, he declines
to give the names and locations of these
factories which he alleges have raised
wages.
The most diligent search by New

workingman who does not give the lie
direct to this incomprehensible report.
On the other hand Mr.. CLEVELAND

thousands of protected" American
workingmen whose wages have been re-
duced since the passage Of the McKin-
ley bill, and he can give the names Of
the establishments making the reduc-
tons, together with facts and dates and
proofs, the validity Of which no one can

That is the difference between Mr..

alleged RICH. to use their property precise
ly as they see fit and to make any contract
which seems to them good. They are
doubtless perfectly sincere and conscten-
tious in this remarkable claim, and the al
most ludicrous solemnity with whicn it Is
made and repeated seems to have imposed
upon some minds besides their own. But
it will not stand moments examination.

damental principle of civilized society,
namely, that no man can do what he
pleases with his own If a public neces-
sity require him to dispose of it differ
emily, even though it be his life. He
concludes:
Mr.. Carnegie's business and the business
of other men situated like him challenge
public regulation by reason OF their very
immensity, to say nothing OF the public
contributions to them by the unjust opera
tion OF monopoly tariff laws. II not as clearly
subject TO such regulation as common car
rying, they are certainly as plainly so as
u1oney-lending, education of children,
poison-vending, powder making, and hun
dreds Of others. If the law can prohibit
Mr. Carnegie from running 'plucA-me
store'i in connection with his business, 1t
can prohibit him from doing anything else
which is unjust and unreasonable, and
especially anything which provokes or
tends toward a breach of the peace. II the
State chooses TO say him nay and to lay
down the limits Of his freedom, hecan have
no right whatever to 20 on dealing with
three thousand men mere, and i've Thousand
men there, and ten thousand men elsewhere
according 10 his private impulses. All
private property is held and enjoyed sub
ject 10 the public safety: and the conten-
tion that great plants like that OF the Car
pegie companies, built up mainly by public
bOuuties, are exempt from therule would
be nothing short Of monstrous.
l. is Mr.. BLACKS opinion that there
can be no reasonable opposition to State
regulation Of transactions between en-
ployer and employee in such cases, and
that 1.-THE State, which upon all estao-
lished theories of free institutions Is
supreme, can never be said to have dis
charged its sovereign duty until it has

WASHINGTON, d. c., September l.
President Harrison and party reached

due to his desire 10 consult with members
of the Cabinet in this city, as TO what
further measures, if any, should be adopt
ed DIV the government 10 prevent the intro
duction of cholera in this country.
The President, while not alarmed, fully
comprehends the gravity of the situation
and what the Government may properly
do TO lessen chances of cholera invasion
will not DC left unjone. While nothing
definite can be stated as 70 the Presidents
return 10 Loon Lake. it is probable the
start will be made Friday afternoon and IT
is altogether likely the contemplated tour
