WAS MILLER INNOCENT?
Fears That the Wrong Man Was Lynched
at BardweIl, Ky.

Fears That the Wrong Man Was Lynched
at Bardwell, Ky.
Much excitement still prevails over the lynch
ing of C. J. Miller at Bardwell. Ky., last Friday
afternoon. Some doubt is now expressed as to
his guilt. His first examination was held at
Wicklife. Ky, Friday morning. 1t had been
generally understood up to that time that there
was blood on the clothing Of the negro and
that razor and large pocket knife which he
carried, were also covered with blood.
II turned out that not one Of those who were
present at the examination was convinced in
his own mind that there were bloodstains on
the knife and razor, or his clothing. The aid
Of microscope was called into requisition to
facilitate the examination. but even it failed to
reveal bloodstains. Wickliffe people, thinking
that the proofs were insufficient refrained from
lynching Miller and preferred to await develop
ments.
After a short talk by the sheriff o, Carlisle
county he was allowed to convey the prisoner
from the court houEe to the station, where he
was placed on q train for Bardwell 1t was in
tended that he should be placed in Jail at this
place, as Carlisle was the county in which the
murder was committed
The mob of more than 1000 which had gath
cred were thirsting for revenge for the brutal
murder OF the innocent girls, and. as the evil
dsnce against the prisoner was exaggerated
and distorted as it went from mouth to mouth,
they had made up their minds that he was
guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.
Shortly after the hanging took place q tele-
gram was received from Springfield. nj, stat
ing that Miller was from that place. but had
left there two weeks before.
After the man dead there was no feeling
OF jubilation manifested On the contrary a
sort Of mental wet blanket seemed to settle
down over the crowd. Two out of every three
men cautiously expressed doubts as to the pro-
priety Of their action. and said they feared that
Miller connection with the murder of the Ray
girls was not fully established.

WHAT SOME LENDERS WANT.

NEW YORK, July 10.-A dispatch from Pitts
burg reports q feeling Of great dissatisfac ton
among the big drug houses in that city 1t ID
said that the trouble arises from q
circular letter sent ont by W. H.
Schieffelin Il Co. Of this city to the
effect that at present all payments for i'm
ported drugs purchased through their house
must be made in gold, and that no silver would
be taken.
At the Office Of W. H. schienelin 4 Company
this morning Manager Tompkins said:
ave are not demanding gold for our goods.
We have taken q precautionary step pure and
simple in the event Of gold going to premium.
We issued this circular on the first Of the pres
ent month:
Notice to trade Please take notice that in view Of
the uncertain future Of the currency sale Of the
will be payable in United States gold its currency
Twelve drugs are then named, the ground
Norwegian drugs salad, preparation OF cod
liver oil and msgnesis-
"All the druggists understand" @id Mr..
Tompkins. "that we have to pay the European
houses in gold, and, further, that we are simply
protecting ourselves In these uncertain times
against gold going to premium.
"Other large houses in the city have adopted
the same measures"
II was found on inquiry that several firms in
this trade have taken similar precaution, but
they all explain that gold is not as yet de-
manded. but that they wish to be in Q position
to require gold or its equivalent in the event Of
any premium obtaining on gold.
No other trade seems to have found Il q
necessary precaution to give such notice.
A single silk-importirg house is reported to
have done so.
Bankers dealing largely with importers say
they have heard Of no such measures. One
prominent Wall street banker said: sin bust
ness circles there is no such distrust
or anticipation Of gold reaching Q
premium Some foreign individuals
are asking to have a gold clause inserted in all
contracts. They ask that dividends and inter
est be obtained for them in gold, and they
seem to wish to have their accumulations in
that metal But business houses here and
abroad are satisfied with the usual course
This banker added that he found that in re-
newing bonds and mortgages some people
asked to have a clause inserted to make pay
ments due in gold
and" he continued, ''what is still more
interesting. is that some mortgages refuse to
accept these terms, and in two cases. to my per-
sonal knowledge, have chosen to borrow at 6
per cent and pay of the debt rather than
submit"
Canadian banks, it was learned from the
same source. have Of late been anxiously sug-
costing that their agents here require gold con-
tracts in time loans. They have thus far been
dissuaded from insisting on this. but seem to
feel uneasiness.

KISSING THE BLARNEY STONE.
But Those Who Are Doing 1t in CHICAGO
Are Fooled.

But Those Who Are Doing 1t in Chicago
Are Fooled.
When the newspapers told of the removal of
the Barney stone to Chicago and of its having
been set mp in the Irish village at the fair, to
be kissed by all who would, cold horror
spread over the country at the thought of the
huge coming crop OF political stump speakers
and bunco steerers. All this fear, however.
was without foundation, and those gentlemen
who have secured a nomination or set up q
green goods mandatory and then kissed the
Chicago Barney stone will be as badly fooled
as the turkey who swallowed an Egyptian
scarab and calmlv waited for his meal to digest
According to the Irish papers the Barney
stone has never left Ireland and is still doing
business at the old stand, children half price.
The Cork Consultation in . correspondence
from Queenstown saws:
Visitors to the worlds fair who expect to
kiss stone purporting to be the famous BLAIR
ney stone will feel abashed when they learn that
1t Is not genuine. When the cablegram from
America reached here. stating that hundreds Of
politicians were focking to the Irish village at
the worlds fair to kiss the Barney stone.
which, it is alleged, Lady Aberdeen WAS instru-
mental in having sent to Chicago, the ever
vigilant United States consul at Queenstown.
Mr.. H. G. Kress, determined to satisfy himself
whether the original stone had actually crossed
the Atlantic ocean. and, in order that there
should be no doubt on his mind he iourneyed
to Barney last evening, being accompanied by
q well-known town commissioner, who has hum
dreds Of times visited the well-known spot and
in the days Of his youth kissed the stone of fame
On arriving at the castle Mr.. Kress interviewed
the caretaker, and learned that the stone had
never been removed from its position, not even
q slice OF 1t had been taken, but remained there
as ever, intact, and also ascertained that no
portion whatever Of the castle itself which
might have been made to represent the stone
had left the place. The representative Of
America in company with his friend then made
personal inspection Of the summit of the cas-
tie and found the stone there all right safe and
sound, and before bidding adieu to the ancient
structure both gentlemen kissed the Blarney
stone. Mr.. Kress will. no doubt, make an Off
cial report Of the matter to the worlds fair
commissioner

OUTROwED By CORNELL.
The Pennsylvanis Eight Beaten ON Lake
MinnetOnka.

MinnetOnka.
The Cornell University eight defeated the
University of Pennsylvania eight on Saturday
evening on Lake Minnetonka, Mimi, by two
lengths. 1t was demonstrated that the western
lakes are no more reliable than those in New
York state, where squall is likely to come up
at any moment, and where no one can tell when
the wind and waves will 60 down. The race was
set for 6 o'clock, but the water was then too
rough. The crowd waited. and the officials of
the race hoped for a smoother course. At last
at about O'Clock the word was given.
1t was almost dark before Referee West got
the crews started, and even when the two-mile
flag was reached neither crew could be seen
from the shore, and so indistinct were they
that their progress was watched with great
difficulty from the referees boat, where the
newspaper men had been placed.
1t now appears that at the two-mile-and- a.
half flag the crews were neck and neck, neither
having the advantage, but when Big Island was
reached Cornell steered into q stretch Of per-
fectly smooth water and forged two boat
lengths ahead then and there. while Pennsyl-
vania was almost swamped in the rough sea
farther from the island.
The time given out as officially decided upon
is Cornell %. As, Pennsylvania 1882.
Courtney said that the race was the hardest
one Cornell had ever rowed and that he had
never seen two crews go even for two miles and
a half. The Cornell oarsmen claim that they
were never 80 nearly exhausted in their lives.
The Pennsylvania partisans claim that 1t was
only Cornells good luck in getting . smoother
course that gave them the race The fact that
the odds were to against Pennsylvania shows
that the public deemed Cornell the better crew.
The crews were as follows:

on the North sea and are carried from Basic,
switzerland, on trains provided by some Of
the trans-Atlantic steamship companies to
ports from which they sail. These special
trains carrying emigrants are provided and

route known as the chemin de fer de Fest, and
II was on this route that number of
cases OF cholera occurred while Dr. Kempster
was making his investigations, injecting more
than one village where sick emigrants had been
taken from the train and who subsequently
died. This was during the late spring infect
ing the region thereabout.
Hence the investigations were continued in
France. where 1t Is believed that cholera ex-
listed. but about which no official information
could be learned. Investigation, however,
prevalent through the country, the cases up
to this time being more or less Of q sporadic
character and could not be called epidemic,
excepting in the province Of l. Orient, which is
on the northwest coast of France In France
stops were made at various places to investi-
gate with regard to the prevalence of
cholera. At Paris he investigated the health
conditions OF the city and the commercial re-
lations existing between France and the United
States, with special reference to the character
OF merchandise and the danger which might be
apprehended from the same BY reason Of the
widespread prevalence Of the disease in that
country.
LIABILITY OF INFECTION FROM FRANCE.
From France DR.. Kempster proceeded to
London, and, as result of his investigation
there, he shows in his report to the surgeon
general that the unrestricted intercourse
between French ports and London and other
English ports is a serious factor in the La
bility OF the United States to become
infected from France. Several lines ef

ERRONEOUS IMPRESSIONS.
Mistaken Ideas Of Judge Miller's Ruling
in the McDOnough Case.
He Explains just the Effects of His Rulinr
and Wipes Away Some Cobwebs-
An Interesting Subject.

Speaking to STAR reporter this afternoon Of
the liquor question Judge Miller Of the Police
Court said: 'There seems to be an erroneous
impression abroad respecting the real
question at issue in the McDonough case, de-
cided by me on Thursday last. The validity Of
the old licenses. either wholesale or retail, was
not involved. That question had been
settled by the Court Of Appeals in
the Busch case, and could not even be discussed
in the Police Court. The point in the McDon-
ough case was whether party
holding wholesale license under
the old law could sell in quantities less
than a pint (Which would have con-
stituted him a retail dealer under the old
law or could be prosecuted as retail
dealer under the new law, in which the guam
tity Of liquor allowed to be sold by the retail
dealer has been raised from one pint to five
gallons. McDonough was charged under
the new law with being retail dealer. That
IL to say, with selling liquor less
than five gallons to be drunk upon the
premises. He had license as q
Wholesale dealer under the old law, which en-
abled him, the license being still valid, to sell
pint His license did not authorize
him to sell liquor to be drunk upon the
premises, but there being no restriction placed
upon it by the old law, he could do so with i'm
punity.
As IT STANDS.
Gas the matter now stands, although McDon-
ough sold in quantities which would have sub
jected him to penalties under the old law as q
retail dealer, he cannot be tried on such now,
because there is no longer any such
license required Of him or any PEN
atty for the non-payment of such
Q license fec II charged under the new law,

which allowed him, as before stated. to sell
In any quantity greater than one pint. You will
see that great deal depends upon the form Of
the information, and although decided last
Thursday that under the information as then
brought and in view Of McDonough's
Wholesale license he could not be convicted, l
do not wish to be understood as say
ing that an information could not be
framed SO as to cover his and
all other cases Of Wholesale dealers who, by
selling less than one pint without d retail
license under the old law, or
any license under the new Law, are practically
selling liquor without any license whatever.
There is another erroneous impression"
said Judge Miller in conclusion. land that is
that liquor can be sold in the District
from now until November / without any
license whatever. Nothing could we'll be more
absurd. Either a license under the old
or new law must first be had, and
any person guilty Of selling liquor without one
or the other can be successfully prosecuted
under the new law"

HARD WINDS AT CHICAGO.
Buildings and Exhibits at the Fair Dam
aged by a Storm.

A wind storm of terrific force. followed by a
heavy downpour Of rain, passed over the Chi
cago fair grounds few minutes before O'Clock
last evening. doing considerable damage to the
different buildings and to the exhibits stored
therein.
The afternoon was sultry, and as it drew to a
close the atmosphere became oppressively
heavy. Not a breath of air was stirring and
heavy black clouds banked up to the north and
east. About 5:45 the storm burst suddenly
over the park
Ten thousand people were grouped about the
pavilion to the east of the manufacturers build

body, totally unawares. They hastily rushed
for the shelter Of the big building and entered
the doors in much disorder.
The guards, after admitting the crowds, en-
deavored to close the doors, but the force Of
the wind shut the doors with such violence that
