him on the one which charges him with
having forged the signature Of e. w.
Bullinger on the Chemical National
Bank of this city, dated February 9Th,
1893, for $4,000, drawn by r. G. Dun d.
Go. to Mr.. Bullipger's order.
NEW YoRK, June "A large attend
ance marked the opening of the second
day Of the trial of Erastus Wiman, for
forgery, before Judge Ingraham in the
court Of oyer and terminer.
|, Assistant Distfict-Attorney Wellman
opened for the prosecution. He declared
that Mr.. Wiman had never been mem
Der Of the firm of r. G. Dun g. Co., but
an employe who received 16 per cent of
the profits of the firm or about $780, 900
per year.
1t was explained how Mr.. Wiman, as
general manager of the firm of r. G.
Dun & Co., bought all the supplies,
made all arrangements with Mr.. Bul-
linger (whose name he is charged with
forging), and with the Campbell Print
ing Press Co.
"The question in the minds of the
jurymen will be, did Wiman know that
the signature of e. W. Bullinger was
forged when he uttered the checkg" said
Mr.. Wellman.
"We can show that he did, for the
law allows us to show that Mr.. Wiman
had uttered forged checks during the
year previous. A year before he uttered
another Bullinger check. Then he
uttered checks drawn to the order of
j. NJ. Fairbanks to the amount of
$4,000 and $4,000"
General Tracey interrupted at this
point and requested the court to order
the dlstrict-attorney to continc himself
to the case in question.
"And as to that" said the general,
"we concede that Mr.. Wiman wrote the
name of Bullinger on the back Of this
check and deposited it to his own
account. Commercial law justified him
| In so doing" .
Justice Ingraham allowed General
Tracey to continue, cautioning the jury
that they must not consider what Mr..
Wellman said to be evidence, unless
these facts should be subsequently
brought forward as testimony.
The assistant district attorney imme.
diately replied to General Tracey.
New York, June 13.-The third day
of the trial OF Erastus Wiman for al
legged forgery in the second degree was
again marked by the presence OF very
large crowd this morning.
The first witness was James NJ. Fitz.
gerald, who supplied the firm of r. G.
! Dun & Co. with the paper used by
them. Mr.. Fitzgerald was shown a
check for $500, drawn to his order by
R. G. Dun & Co. on February 2lst, 1891,
and asked if he had received the money
for the same. Witness said he had not.
The signature on the back, the witness
said, was not in Lis handwriting. The
check was offered in evidence
The second witness was Ogden Brewer,
treasurer of the Campbell Printing
Press Co. He was shown check for
$4,000, drawn January goth, 1893, to the
printing press company.
Despite General Tracy's numerous
objections, all these checks were ad-
mitted in evidence, the defence taking
exceptions.
Cross-examined by General Tracy,
witness said that he had received Mf.
Wiman's individual note in payment of
several checks.

A ST. LOUIS DEATH MYSTERY
Discovery of Remmert's Body
in the River.
MISSING SINCE JANUARY FIRST
The Body Had Been in the
Water Ten Days.
His Whereabouts Since January 1st n ,
Complete Mystery--His Shoes and APP ,
parel show No Signs or,Wear--An Inter-
esting Question That Brings No
Answers.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 13.-In the dis
coSery yesterday of the body of George
Remmert ,in'the river, another mystery
has been added to the already long list
Of this city.
George Remmert was, until his disap-
pearance, a porter, and had been with
his employer for 10 consecutive years.
January 1st he went to the store to meet
his employer to talk over some private
business. The conversation was held,
Remmert said goodbye" and departed
somewhat in depressed state.
This was the last seen of him until
bis body was discovered in the river
yesterday. When found the body was
beginning 70 decompUse and the identity
was established by the apparel which
was recognized by his family and rela-
tives.
But it is in this apparel that the Dys-
terry surrounding Remmert's disappear
ance is increased. The shoes he wore
on the day when he was last seen were
almost new, and these shoes were on
the body when found in the river and
they show no signs of wear. Nor did
the other articles of his apparel show
any increased wear. The body had
been in the water not over 10 days.
Taking these facts into consideration,
the unworn or unused condition of the
mans apparel and the'fact that the body
is said to have been in the water 10
days, IN connection with the time which
passed since he disappeared brings about
the question::
"Where has George Remmert been in
the interim between date of his disap-
pearance, January 1st, and the placing
of his body in the river?"

southern end and handed over from one
crowd to another till landed into the
strikers camp ut Kyle. The deputies got
on to their whereabouts by little extra
paiading and having search warrants
went to rescue the imprisoned wUrkmen.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-T. Is.
Mcguire of the executive board of the
knights of Labor, when told of the
terms of the settlement made by the
miners, said:
swell, of course, the prices are not as
good as they expected, but under the
circumstances think 1t is good thing.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
men who have been making all this
trouble and melting others to riot were
put there by the operators. They know
that as soon as they began rioting the
militia would be called out and then
everything would go their own way"
Efforts were made to find Samuel
Gompers and obtain his opinion Of the
terms of settlement, but without success.
PREPARING TO RESUME BUSINESS.

SEDALIA, Mo-, June 12.-Between 80

Sons coal mine at Knobnoster have

they were out TO remain until the
general strike is declared off.

The nomination passed off quietly as
a general rule. In two or three of the
wards there were some interesting rem
counters when oyer'exuberant partisans
of the sheriffalty candidates seemed un-
able tofsettle their differences without
an appeal to arms. The result was a
little harmless blood-letting, with the
consent ,of the lookers-on, who usually
allowed the squabSlers to arrange the
trouble among themselves. Let them
fight:iteut," was the. general comment,
and the eitrouble easily passediover.
AnimmeDse croWdgathered at EVERY

Of each candidate we're present in large
numbers. For candidate Toman, his
friend, jefferson King, had seat at the
returns table and took the figures as
they came in and were called out by
Chairman Armstrong or by Willard

Close after Z p. m. the returns COM
meuccd coming in from the outside hun
dreds They went along in good order
until 10 o'clock BY which time all the
CITY was in, and all the county but
three of the hundreds. One of these,
Biackbird, came in late, leaving West
Mill Creek and East White Clay Greek
| vet to be heard from.
At this time the tally of votes was so
| close that the EXTREMIST interest pre-
vailed. There were shouts for Toman
as the heavy vote from North Chris.
tiana was recorded in his favor. But
the votes for Carmichael from the
middle district OF White Clay Creek,
| from Pencader and from Blackbird
were an offset and kept the slight city
majority held by him intact.
When the county committee left, be-
tween 1880 and II p. m, the indica-
tions were strong for Carmichael VIC
tory, but only at slight margin, limited
by not more than so at the outside.
Nobody knew anything about the two
| delinquent hundreds. There was no
way Of reaching them either by phone
or telegraph. The probability was of
course that the election officers and
voters had all gone to bed, and were
resting quietly, AN unconscious of the
extreme anxiety in Wilmington and all
over the county in regard to the few
figures they had in their possession, but
a knowledge of which was so precious
to thousands of their fellow Democrats
elsewhere.
The victory for Hallman was clear
one, without question. This was seen
early in the evening.
james Carmichael is very well known
| in the city. He is foreman of one of the
machine shops at the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth yards. He served in City
Council from the Fifth ward from Sep
temler, 1879, to June 1882, and was for
five years a member of the Board Of
| Water Commissioners. He was candi-
date for the sheriffalty nomination in
1892 but was defeated. The nominee
for coroner, George Hallman is q resi-
1 dent of Odessa, st. Georges hundred
He also was candidate in 1899 and made
an extremely good effort for the coroner
nomination.

The occurrence of what is known as
ball lightning is SO rare that every in

London Lancet describes narrow es-
cape from death by this form of light
ming, which was experienced by dis
tinguished surgeon of Louvain, who had
gone to visit patient in neighboring

of fire descended upon and rendered him
for some time unconscious.

HUMAN WEATHER INDICATORS.
Effects of Atmospheric Changes on tn,
Temperament of Men.

Effects of Atmospheric Changes on the
Temperament of Men.
A writer in The American journal of
Psychology discusses the subject from
the view of common experience and
presents some facts that are interesting
as we'll as leading in their directness
He says:
''The head of a factory employing
3, 900 workmen said, we reckon that
disagreeable day yields about 10 per
cent less work than a delightful day,
and we have thus TO count this as fac
tor in our profit and loss account. Ac-
cidents are more numerous in factories
on bad days.
"a railroad man never proposes
changes to his superior if the weather
is not propitious Fair days make men
accessible and generous and open to con-
slider new problems favorably. Some say
that opinions reached in best weather
states are safest to invest on.
Other facts are mentioned in the
psychical and physiological relations, as:
weather often affects logic, and many
mems most syllogistic conclusions are
varied by heat and cold. The knee jerk
seems proved to have another factor. It
is not strange if the eye, which wants
the normal stimulus in long, dark
weather, causes other changes. !"
Temperament is fundamental factor
that type of it called the mental being
the more intensely affected, while the
bilious type may exhibit by comparison
the more capricious or morbid impress
sions, says The chronological Journal.
The mental manifestations, as rule,
however, depend upon the organism
primarily. If the culture is good-that
is, the faculties have been trained to
coordinate harmonious action, and the
elements that contribute to serenity and
self control have been we'll developed
weather conditions will but operate
like other parts of the environment, and
self training will show adaptation, self
repression.
The nervous, excitable, irascible
person is he who has not learned to con-
troll feeling and expression, and it is he
who finds fault with his surroundings
and imputes uncanny conduct to them
That there are functional states of the
body that predispose one to mental de-
preston or exhilaration we are ready to
admit. A torpid liver, chronic Ca
tarrh. a rheumatic joint and even an
old corn may render one susceptible to
weather changes, the physical ailment
producing nerve reaction that is keen
~ felt at the spiral centers and may test
the spirit. Mind, however, is superior
to matter. or rather constituted for su-
periority. Fairly organized, carefully
developed and trained, it will exhibit
that superiority by its pose and calm
ness in circumstances that are disagree
able or painful to the physical sense

WERE BOUND TO PLAY POKER.
Newspaper Men Out of Cash Put Up Their
Brains For Stakes.

Newspaper Men Out of Cash Put Up Their
Brains For Stakes.
Poker has been played with every
thing from pea beans to a hundred dol
lar bill, but perhaps the most curious
commodity that was ever passed about
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among party of newspaper men.
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly if all
hands INDUCED in the national game.
Every one was willing. but when an &C.
count of stock was taken it was discov-
cred that there was only about 81. 30 in
the crowd, and every one objected to
playing for wind" After little dis
cussion some one had an idea, which he
put in these words: Lets appoint a
committee Of two as judges; then for an
hour let us each sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper. Every
thing that the committee agrees upon as
being good enough to be printed shall be
accepted as cash and can be paid in as
equivalent for a stack of chips"
This idea met with instant favor, and
for an hour or more nothing could be
heard in that room but silence. At the
end of that time each one produced his
quota of alleged interesting stories, and
the committee to which it was submit
ted, reading it all with lenient eye,
passed nearly the whole lot.
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle of men opening
jackpots for quarter of column and
anteing with a stick, with a fixed
limit of column, including the head.
