came up before Justice Tibbils yesterday
morning. Mr.. Mclean himself was the
first witness put upon the stand by the
state. He testified hat he was talking
to Charley Wallace at the time of the
trouble. when Bentley came III and made
some remark. He admitted having called
Bentley dub of a gambler" and might
have used some harsher expressions to-
wards him, but said nothing to reflect III
anyway upon Bentley's parents. Bent
ley, he said, then walked away, and
afterwards walked up to him from be-
hind and then struck him rather from
one side. He did not see Bentley when
he struck, and could not swear positively
that Bentley was the person who struck
him, although he supposed it was, as
when he first saw Bentley after the blows
had been struck, he (Bentley) was being
held BY the arms by n or two persons
who were present. The cross examina-
ton failed to bring out any new facts.
Several witnesses were called, who about
corroborated McLean's testimony, ex-
cept in that they stated the blow was de-
livered from in front.
Charley Bentley testified that Mclean
had called him vile and abusive names
aud also reviled his father, that he
(McLean) had shook his fist in his face.
and touched him with it, and had de-
clared that he was not afraid Of him or
any one else. That he had not struck
him until after this occurrence, and he
denied striking him from behind. One
witness was called who c]orroborated his
testimony. Upon recall, Mr.. Mclean
admitted shaking his finger in Bentley's
face but had not touched or struck him.
Both sides rested, and the attorneys
summed up. Mr.. Register, for the state,
said that while Mclean might have been
abusive in his talk, this did not from a
legal standpoint justify Bentley in strlk-
ing him. The measure of force used by
Bentley was not commensurate with the
provocation. Attorney Allen for Bent
ley said that when Mclean touched
Bentley in person, as the latter testified
he did, it was an assault and Bentley
acted in self defense, and on these
grounds he asked for the defendants
discharge. Judge Tibbils. in deciding,
said that the testimony looked to him "A
though Mclean committed the first
assault, in even touching the defendant,
and so he ordered the dismissal of the
case and the defendants discharge.

1t Goes to Tibbils

The motion against the change of
venue from Justice Chase to Justice
Boyle, was argued before the former
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Allen pre-
sented several aftidavits as to the man
ne in which the change had been at
tempted to be made, and also one to the
effect that Tibbils' Office aver now was
nearer by eleven feet than that of Boyle,
and asked that the case go to Tibbils on
these grounds. Mr.. Barnes character
lied the afidavits as irrelevant, and
asked that the case go to Boyle on the
original motion. Judge Chase said that
all he had to judge was the matter of
distance, and as this had been estab.
lished by affidavit he would change the
case to Justice Tibbils, which was so
done, and an exception noted by Mr.
Barnes.

The Lincoln County Circuit Court,
which had been in session at Brook
haven for over two weeks, adjourned
on the 10th instant. In their final re-
port the Grand Jury stated that they
had been in session twelve days, exam
ined 24S witnesses and returned lob
true bills. Over twenty of these bills
were for Whitecap offenses, but none OF
the indicted Whitecaps have been ar
rested except the nine men brought TO
trial on May Sth, six of whom we're
sent to the penitGntiary, so their names
have not been made public. Over fifty
of the indictments were against per-
sons who participated in the mob OF
Nav 4th. Since the forty-seven came
in last week and threw themselves on
the mercy OF the court, several others
have come in, surrendered and given
bond
The Grand Jury, in its final report
saws: "Our investigations have led us
to the conclusion that many so-called
Whitecap outrages are purely local.
and have been committed by persons
outside of that organization, who, to
crafty their own selfish purposes, COM
nit oifenses, we'll knowing that under
| existing circumstances the Whitecap
element will receive the blame for their
| lawless acts"
Judge Chrisman was very compil'
mentary in his remarks discharging the
iury, and said it was about the best the
county ever had.

Nishap to Women.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-The close of the
great congress of women was marred
by a sad mishap in which eight women
were seriously and many others slight
ly hurt. A section of floor, 90x3O feet
in extent, forming an entrance to
Washington hall in the Art institute
suddenly gave way under the crush OF
women anxious to listen to the ao-
dresses on the ethics of dress, and fell
to the ground, distance of l2 feet, and
seventy-fve panic-stricken women went
with It, The cries of thousands OF
women already assembled contributed
to the excitement that followed as cries
of main and terror arose from the col
lapsed section. After the nearly four
score of women had been extricated II
was found that about eight women had
been seriously injured, but none OF
them fatally.

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
All Out at Pittsburg and Wsir City. Kan

cause OF tne lfouDle.
PlrTsRURG. Kan, May20 The strike
is on and it is on in dead earnest. Not
a miner belonging to the miners organ
ization in this district will go to work
this morning, and many men who do
not belong to the order have joined the
strikers. There is not the least excite
ment, however, and a stranger in the
city would never imagine that great
strike was in progress The miners are
cool and determined, and are perfectly
willing to listen to any proposition the
operators may make, providing it is
made to their organization.
Here lies the trouble. The operators
do not propose to recognize the miners
organization, and the miners are not
willing to let the operators confine the
question to an individual basis. llither-
to operators have ignored the organiza-
ton of miners, having posted notices
regarding their prices at the different
shafts, and, unless future negotiations
are confined to the operators and the
executive board of the L. NJ. W. A., the
strike will be prolonged indefinitely
ALL OUT AT WEIR.
WEIR CITY, Kan, May 20.-The strike
among the coal miners of this district
including Cherokee and Crawford coun
ties, has come and is apparently here

Wholesale business and speculation show each

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-To John VIII
lis Baer, of Boston, secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
who called upon Attorney-General Oh
ney in regard to points in law and the
governments relation to the Columbian
exposition, the Encouragement SAID
that as all appropriations made for
the worlds fair were made upon the
condition that the exposition should
not be open to the public on Sunday, it
would be the duty of the worlds Column
bian commission, created by congress
April 25, 1890. to make such rules or
notifications of the rules of the Column
bian exposition as should require the
closing of the exposition on Sunday.
Fifteen days ago, having been led to
think by the press dispatches and other
reports that the district attorney
at Chicago might be waiting for some
word from him. he informed that Of
fetal that he expected him to act in the
matter of restraining the managers
from opening Sunday by enforcing the
law, if their attitude at any time should
require such action. The district at
torney replied at once that he had eX-
pected to act promptly and in accord
ance with instructions and would ad
wise the Encouragement of any move
on the part of the exposition managers
that would make such step neces
sary. Nothing had been received from
the district attorney since that time
nor had any further word gone from
the Encouragement to Chicago in re
lation to the matter.

SAGINAW SCORCHED.
Destructive Fire at Saginaw. Mich.-Panio
Among the People.


SAGINAW, Mich, May 22.-The fire
Saturday night started in Sample &
Camps mill plant, thence commune
Gated to the eastern end of the Bristol
street bridge, thence northeast from
the corner of Tilden and Bristol streets
for distance of mile in length and
four or five blocks in width. The scene
was one of indescribable excitement,
people becoming frenzied in their
desire to remove their household
effects from the devouring ele-
ment, which rushed madly on its
journey of destruction, burning every
thing in its path. Drays, delivery,
wood, ice and coal wagons, buggies,
hand carts, cabs and everything in the
shape of vehicle were pressed into
service to move household goods beyond
the reach of the fire. Vehicles loaded
with household goods drawn by horses
on frantic run were rushing in all dl-
rections to places beyond the reach OF
the devastating flames, and vacant lots
were soon occupied by household goods.
In many instances these precautions
were unavailing, as property after be-
ing removed to places of safety was
found by the fire and destroyed.
All the hacks in the city were pressed
into the service to remove the invalids,
old people, ladies and children to places
of safety, and the scene was one which
no description can do justice to and
which will be long remembered by
those who witnessed it. Many people
became frightened without cause and re-
moved their furniture, only to have the
trouble of moving it back when all
danger had passed The body of the
man supposed to be John CLARK
who perished, was identified as Robert
Turner, aged 80 years. lie was feeble
and resided with his daughtS, Mrs
Charles Holland. Clark is still unac
counted for.
Prominent citizens met at the clut
house last evening at which plan was
formulated for the people of Saginaw
