HUGH O'DONNELL ON TRIAL.
The Deposed Leader of the Homestead Work
men Pleads Not Guilty to Murder.

PITTsBURG. Feb 18.-By far the most in
teresting and important trial growing ont
of the Homestead riot Is that of Hugh
ODonnell for murder. which was taken up
this morning before Judge Stowe. Hugh
ODonnell was unQuestiOnably the leader
of the Homestead men IN the earlier and
more stirring period of that famous strug-
gle. His strong personal magnetism i'm
pressed his fellow-workmen long before
June 90. He had been unoonsciously, per-
baps, their leader for several years, and,
when the crash came on the Goth of June
be was. by unspoken but unanimous con-
sent, made dictator. In that position he
became the idol of his followers and of
the workingmen of the entire country for
weeks He had but to appear and golden
showers followed his appeal for aid. He
was offered many positions, but elected to
remain at home as chairman of the ad-
y,s0ry board, and at that time Mr..
ODonnell was the advisory board.
His downfall was more sudden than
his elevation. The cause was never
satisfactorily explained. But one day 1t
was announced that he had gone East.
He disappeared for two weeks. returned
for one week. and again left with the same
meteoric suddenness. Ii was contended by
his friends that Jealousy on the part of

his tran sportation from Homestead. Att all
events. he had scarcely left when the ad-
visory committee gave out that he had re-
signed. and Thomas j. Crawford was
elected in his stead. About one week later
Hugh ODonnell was arrested and cast into
jail. from which no has been out but twice.
once to an alderman's office, and the other
time in court on application for bail, which
wns refused. 1t was astonishing how soon
ODoDnell passed from the public mind of
Homestead. After his deposal from the
board the strong influence which secured
that also sealed the tongues of gossip. and
ODonnell's name seemed tabOoed. Even
in jail, save for his faithful wife, he had
few callers, ana when his trial called him
once again into public attentio O'Donnell
had been practically forgotten. even by
those who once delighted most to couple
his name with extravagant praise.
Hugh ODonnen was the sole occupant of
the prisoners box at 10 o'clock to-day.
Long confinement had intensified the
natural pallor of his cheeks. and his black
hair. eyes and mustache. accentuatlng this,
made him q very striking figure. He was
attired in somber colors, too. q departure
from the dressy, jovial 0Donnell of one
year ago. He wore q black Prince Albert
coat. black tie and turned down collar. As
he sat in the box he looked weary, and
pressed his head with his handkerchief to
relieve the aching caused by q sleepless
night. When his attorneys came and
shook hands with him his face bright
ened and ne said he felt fairly well

John schofield was born in Clark county, ILL

schools in early youth and afterwards took a
three years course in Marshall College, teach
ing in the summer time and study

the practice of law in 1855, forming
partnership with the late James c. Robinson In
1856 he was elected States attorney for the
Fourth judicial circuit, and in 1850 was elected
to the Legislature In 1873 was elected TO the

Thornton. who died. In 1878 he was reelected.
and in 1888 again reelected. having no opposi-
tiOn. He served nineteen years and half on
the State Supreme Bench.
The epoch in his life and in the estimation OF
his friends was the tender TO him in Cleveland's
administration OF the chief justiceship of the
United States Supreme Court. He declined for
two reasons. The first was that he did not
think his abilities were commensurate with the
duties and demands of the high Office, ana the
second that he could not support his family in
the style required by the position. and he would
not leave them. Judge Scnoiield was a man of
the purest character. and was of an
wonderful command OF language, and
was q most entertaining cOnversationalist
His wide reading and phenomenal memory en-
abled him TO talk inteliigeatly on any topic. His
decisions on the bench were accepted as prece-
dents for subsequent rulings 10y ali the courts OF
the state, and were quoted all over the Nation.
In politics Judge schoield was a Douglas Demo-
crat. He was always liberal in his views, and
numbered his political friends almost as largely
IL the Republican as in the Democratic party.

cannot complain if, after this warning, they are
altogether disregarded. | hope, also. that the
fact that absolutely need the time between this

point time for personal conferences.
Mr. Cleveland to-day received q letter
from President Harrison, couched In the

CHICAGO, Feb. 13-Judge Walter Q.
Gresham is the central figure in O now po-
litlcal sensation. Judge Egbert Jameson,
of Chicago, q personal friend of the pre-
sumptive coming Secretary of State, sprung
the matter to-day. The disclosure was
elected by expressions of opinion here that
President elect Cleveland had not only
made o mistake in calling Gresham into
his Cabinet. but that the Judge had yio-
lated political decency in accepting the
Office in the hight of the fact that the ap-
pointment might be construed as a reward
for deserting q party that had hon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-There Is likely to

Ger an opportunity to fumigate the quar-
ters they had been occupying, In order that
the executive mansion might be made free
from oil infection as q consequence OF the
scarlet fever which the little one had been
suffering from. they left quite lot OF per-
sonal effects In their rooms. There were q
number of pieces of valuable bric-a- brac.
fine new gilt clock. which
had not yet been taken from
was shipped TO them: some beautiful pieces
of out glassware, chest full of wearing
apparel, a bran new leather hat-box, in
W hich was q new hat come iewelry and all
those ittlo things of beauty which n
woman will collect In her private apart
ments. Mrs. Harrison left also in the
wardrobes O number of gowns which che
wanted fumigated.
Itseems that the health officer sent to the
apartments vacated by Mrs. Harrison and
city building. They tore out the carpets,
draperies. ETC.. and piling them in heap
somewhere applied tho torch. They
even went SO far in their
destruction as to pry up q
part OF the flooring in On adjacent hall way
and found under IL o small iron safe or
chest. fastened with Yale lock, which
contained one knows not What, ana which
may have been deposited there by one of
George w Washington's Immediate successors.
This was left in the custody of Major Pru-
den the executive clerk.
To-day Mr.. Russell Harrison called at the
health office to ascertain what had been
done with the personal effects of Mrs Har-
rison and his daughter and was told that
they had all been destroyed. He asked to
see q list of the articles destroyed, and
found thu 1t contained only the sheets,
blankets, pillow cases. and few other ar
ticles of bed clothing belonging TO the
government. What had become of Mrs.
Harrison's effects oonld not be learned.
Why the clock. jewellery, bric-a brac and
clothing were taken was n mystery. There
were also books taken and lot of memoir
anda kept by the Presidents late wife.
1t developed that a perfect RAID was made
on every thing hands could b laid on. The
dog-catchers seem to have been adopts in
feats of legerdemaiD, as every thing they
touched disappeared from view. Mr.. Har-
rison has made a demand for the missing
goods. and the health officer has instituted
a search, determined that the Guilty per-
sons shall not only return the articles
taken, but shall be punished.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

THE use of pure bred sire increases
the value of the herd.
CLOVER is excellent food for pigs. 1t
is heterogeneous, succulent and cheap
and the pigs like it.
If enough farm animals kept
to consume the crops grown on the
farm, little fertility will be removed
from it. Selling grain constantly wears
out land.
Scws WHICH produce large litters of
good pigs and are careful with them
had better be kept for breeders until
they are old. 1t is not profitable to eN-
pertinent too much with young untried
SOwS.
KEEP some good oats in reach Of
young colts until they learn to eat. 1t
is n great advantage to have them eat
grain well when weaving time arrives
They can be held up in flesh by in
creasing the supply of grain and it
will help them during the entire Win
ter.
The palata bility of a food has much
to do with its value, the animals appe-
tite being a pretty good guide in feed
ing. AS with men, individual animals
have varied tastes. The food must be
suited to these best results cannot
be attained. Different animals also re-
quire different quantities of a ration
