Sensational Impeachment Trial.

NASHVILLE, May 10-The trial of Judge
Julius j. Duboise, of the Memphis crimi-
nal court, was taken up in the state senate
sitting as IN impeachment court. The list
of charges brought against Judge Duboise
would fill several columns of closely
printed matter, and his answer is equally
as long. He is accused of tyranny and
corruption in office and using his official
prerogative to induce women to submit to
his wishes. His answer makes II fiat denial
of most of the charges and on some pleads
the statute of limitation.

Bear Chase In Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 1O.-The big grizzly bear
recently placed in Lincoln park escaped
from his den and had to be choked to death
before he could be overcome by the police,
who sought to capture him and haul him
back to the pit. Since his arrival at the
park two weeks ago this ferocious grizzly
has kept upa continuous fight with the
three other bears in the pit. They forced
him to remain in a tree, and it is surmised
that he made his escape by climbing out
over the bars when attacked by the trio of
savage animals. The capture was very ex-
