C0WARDLY TACTICS.
Anti-Breckinridge Women Warned by
an Anonymous Letter Writer.

LEXINGTON, KY, June 9-It was
learned to-day that six prominent women
of this city who took leading part in the
anti-Breckinridge protest at the opera
house several weeks ago have been warned
through a letter mailed from Pittsburg
that there are skeletons" in their closets,
and they could not afford to take part in
such 'detestable proceeding against Col
Breckinridge." The letter was sent to
Mrs. Judge Milton Durham, the address
being Mrs Durham, Mrs. Judge Jere L.
Morton, Mrs. A. NJ. Harrison and three
others whose names cannot be learned.
The letter was sent from Lexington to the
Pittsburg postmaster, with the request that
he remail 1t TO Lexington, as addressed.
The postmaster wrote across the top of
the letter In red ink, sent from Lexing-
ton, with the request to be mailed here"
The women refuse to allow the letter to
be published. One of them said to-day
"Well, we know the handwriting, but we
can't blame him for doing all in his power
for Colonel Brecxinridge, though it be done
In ever so mean manner The letter will
have no effect. We know our husbands
pretty well, and such threats are beneath
Our notice."

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Charles B.
Terry, formerly of Mount Vernon, Ind. the
policeman who shot young negro named
Washington, last November, was to-day
sentenced TO three years hard labor in the
penitentiary. When Judge McComas asked
Terry if he had anything to say why the
sentence Of the law should not be pro-
nounced the miserable vainly attempt
ed TO say something, but was unable TO
control his emotions. Handing the Judge
a written statement he threw himself down
in chair, and, covering his face in his
hands, wept like a child. After reading
Terrys statement Judge McComas told
Terry that he had carefully considered ev-
erything ia connection with the circum-
stances of the case. and felt that the SEN
tence SHOULD not be less than three years
In the penitentiary, which sentence he i'm
posed. Judge McComaS was even more
nlerciful than Terry had anticipated, for he
decided that the sentence should be from
the day of imposing, instead of commenc-
ing, as is usual, upon the day of the con-
victs arrival at the penitentiary. An ap-
Court OF Appeals, and that court cannot
dispose of the case much earlier than Oc-
tober next, Terry will remain in jail here
until then Should the Court of Appeals
sustain the conviction, as it is generally
anticipated il will do Terry would then

attempted.
At the afternoon session of the confer

Accomplished Nothing.

CENTRAL CITY, KY. June 9.-The min
ers' meeting here broke up at 5 p. m. with
out accomplishing anything. Only three
operators attended the meeting and they
refused to take any part. The reason of
the nonattendance of the operators is said
to be the fact that the operators held a
meeting here last week to which the strik-
ers were invited, but refused to attend.
The strikers were evidently ripe for settle
ment to-day and made efforts to get opera
tors to the meeting this afternoon. They
are not so jubilant tonight, while the
operators say nothing, but seem more con-
fident of ultimate success.

Question-Local News.

HILo, Oct. 21.-Mr. and Mrs. j. A.
Scott gave reception to President
Dole at their mansion at Wainaku on
the 18th inst. The next day President
Dole was out with Mr.. l.. Severance for
IA sail in the yacht Amora and after
wards joined in picnic with Mrs.
Dole, Mrs. Severance and other ladies,
and Mr.. Curtis Iaukea..
Plesio ent Dole will leave Hilo on
Monday the Goth inst. for trip to the
District of Hamakua.
There has lately been a very perfect
photograph taken of the President by a
japanese photographer of Hilo which we
think will excel all others taken. 1t is
a large one. He has been taken several
different times in groups with his har
on and does not look as well, and some
were DESTROYS to see one with his hat
off. He is very kind in permitting So
many pictures to be taken, so each ad-
mIreI can have his photo.
The horrid traction engine (so-called
by some) is proving TO be just lovely.
The broad bands put on the large
wagon that it draws make the road
splendid. No one can say one word
now against its use.
The streets of Hilo are being put in
fine condition.
There seems to be so much doubt
about the bones found at Onomea being
those of the lost Devereaux that we will
say they are not, for the present AT
least, o. b. j.
