ton.

Charleston.
Ii is believed the woman is insane. She has
been considered irresponsible at times and had
frequently threatend to kill members Of her
family. She saws that she has for a wear been
writing out statement Of the family troubles
and just completed it,
Saturday. when her mother WAS absent from
she house. she sent the servants out on pyramids:
then. going to the room where her sister Flor
ence was sick in bed. she placed pistol to her
right temple and shot her dead Then going to
the kitchen, where her other sister was she shot
her in the same manner None of the neigh

Speeches Made.

Speeches Made.
The animal meeting of the Congressional
Temperance Society held at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church hast night. The Con-
gressional representation in the meeting was
limited to three members. but there was a
large and interested audience of temperance
workers.
President Dingley, who represents Maine in
the House. addressed the society. He regretted
that he could rot congratulate the society upon
any work accomplished by this Congress in the
cause Of temperance. On the contrary, Con-
gress Is trying to undo the good work of pre-
ceding Congress by repeating the mile limi,
law relating to the Soldiers Home
Congressman Morse Of Massachusetts, began
his remarks by lodging an objection against the
prolongation OF the inaugural ball after mid
night next Saturday night He protested
against the use of government building for
such dissertation of the Sabbath. and said it
would be an outrage upon the Christian senti-
ment of the nation. Mr.. Morse depIored the
lack of harmony among the sisters of the
temperance movement in Washington. and re-
GREETED that they find il necessary to maintain
two separate organizations.
Rev. L. ID. Power. secretary of the society
presented his annual report. which contained
many statistics Of crime which he charged to
liquor.
EN-Congressman Price of Iowa said that
there are 100 churches in Washington and
every church is surrounded by ten saloons.
Congress wrangles over the payment of
$4,000 900 annually to support the Indians. and
yet that amount of money is spent for whisky
every year in Washington.
Representative Taylor of Ohio. who is the
president Of the Ohio National Bank of this
city. criticised the pending liquor license bill II
n4uor Is to be licensed at all he would advo-
cate tax of $1,000. He Was sorry that the
Senate proposes to reduce the mile limit around
the Soldiers Home. but he was not very much
In favor OF Soldiers Homes anyway. He ad-
vocated giving the soldiers pensions and letting
them go home to their families

No Interest with Mr.. Orrick,

In regard to published statements connect
ing his name with that of Mr.. Orrick, his for
mer law partner in st. Louis and conveying
the impression that Mr.. Orrick's interest in the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian claims was
secured or advanced through his influence,
Secretary Noble said yesterday that up to this
time he had not thought it worth while to deny
these malicious falsehoods. but he now desired
Mr.. Orrick terminated more than wear prior
to his appointment as Secretary Of the Interior,
and that he did not contemplate a renewal of
it. He had no possible interest in Mr. Orrick's
affairs, and had had none during the last five
years, and expects to have none in the future.

Says the Treaty Will Be Defeated.

Mr.. Paul Neuman. the envoy of Queen
LilIuokalani, believes that the treaty Of annex.
alton made with the commission from Hawaii ID
defeated for this session. He says that the SEN
ate will be asked this week to appoint COM
mission to visit the islands and learn the true
condition Of affairs there and the sentiment re-
garding annexation. II this we're done. he
said, the Senate and the country would learn
the conditions under which the people of Ha-
wall would almost unanimously support move
ment for the annexation of the islands, il it was
then determined that that was the best thing
for both countries
Mr.. Neuman criticises the action of Mr. Da-
vies in starting to the United States with the
Princess kaiaulani, and also his reported prop
osition to Minister Lincoln, in London, to ac-
cept United States protectorate over the
islands, with the princess on the throne, with Il
regency for three years.

The Rev. Madison C. Peters of New York in
his sermon at Bloomingdale Reformed Church
last night made an attack upon Recorder Smytb
for his conduct Of the Gardner case.
The sermon was entitled 'Recorder Smytb,s
Travesty on Justice" and among other things
Mr.. Peters said: "Those who have watched the
recent trial Of Detective Gardner must have
been panied to observe that the conduct of the
court lacked impartiality 80 conspicuously that
the presiding judge lost the respect of the COM
munity. II the conduct of Recorder Smvth.
as exhibited in Gardeners trial, should become
usual with our judges, then we should have
reason to thank God that the jury system
stands as a protection between the people and
those who might offend the powers that be.
II believe that Gardner was guilty, but the
conduct Of the court showed that Gardner had
to be convicted, whether innocent or guilty.
II believe that speak the sentiment of every
lawyer and every intelligent and fair-minded
citizen Of New York when say that greater
outrage upon justice than Recorder Smyth ac-
ton in the Gardner case has never been per-
petrated in this country. The recorders serv-
ice to the powers that be in this city smacks
somewhat of the conduct that characterized
Jefreys, the servile judge of Charles IL"
