May Swing the Jury In the Direction of
"A Disagreement
wAsHINGToN, April l3-The defense OF
Colonel Breckenridge which General
Butterworth made yesterday is conceded
To have been one of the greatest speeches
ever made in a Washington court 1t
was effective as masterpiece Of oratory,
and was made such largely by the win
ming personality OF the orator. Butter
worth was persuasive, dramatic, friendly,
conciliatory and artful.
Whether be was convincing remains to
be seen when the 12 men who are TO pass
upon the case return their verdicts Satur-
day night, for il will be Saturday night
when they are called upon to decide.
Men are now saying that IL the jury hangs
fire, Colonel Breckinridgs can thank the
eloqueuce Of his Quaker friend from Ohio
Particularly is this the expression of the
lawyers who heard the speech, and IL was
probably the finest compliment the ex-
congressman could have received that so
many of his professional colleagues were
willing TO stand all day TO listen to his
utterancps

MiSNEAPoIls, April 15.-The grand jury

has succeeded by threats in securing $500
from III. G.. Sdle, president of the First

tempted to victimize George A. Bracket.
capitalist, and A L. Brice, real estate
man.
She succeeded in persuadiug Mr.. Sidle
TO come to her room Oh the pretense of
discussing the sale of some property.
No sooner had he appeared than two
confederates rushed in. BY threats of
spreading scandalous stories about the
affair, Mrs Miller secured the money in
installments from Mr.. Sidle. This was
last summer.
Afterward she worked few days in
Mr.. Brackett's house. and upon being dis
charged, threatened to tell scandalous
story about his actions toward her while
in his house unless he produced 5000.
Mr.. Bracket refused and at once set
about securing evidence to convict the
woman.
Mr.. Brice had previously had expert
ence with Mrs. Miller and succeeded in
breaking down her story. The woman
has left town, but indictments are out for
her and her alleged accomplices. She is a
woman of 45, and not at all attractive.

Digging for Gold.

Today a man named Abbott, re.
siding in the rear of the residence
of Frank Benner, the well known
express man, on the corner of Pow
der House and Montana streets, is
digging in the rear of his
yard for a package of mOney,which
he claims amounts to $4,000. There
is a mystery connected with this
affair that cannot be solved, owing
to the refusal of Abbott to furnish
any information. Some time ago
he received letter, giving the dis
cription of the spot where the
money was buried years ago, and
Abbott accordingly went to work
in search of his fortune.

STILL HANKERING
After More Pie-Frank Lubbock
May Run Again.

To the LIGHT:
AUSTIN, Jan. ii, 1894.
1t has been gently rumored for
some time past that Gov. Frank
Lubbock was getting weary of the
arduous duties attendant upon be-
ing a member of the penitentiary
pardon board. The same rumorS
gave rise to the assertion that "the
last of the MonteZumas" had some
serious intentions concerning the
legislature and would probably
wrestle for a seat in the august
Senate, at the next gathering
of the clans. Governor Lubbock
was heard to assert on New
Years day that he intended
running for the legislature again,
and among the first bills he would
introduce, if elected, was one re-
curing every single man to take a
tumble unto himself and get mar
ried. The Governor argued on
that day that it was a
blasted shame that with so many
lovely women in the world there
should be so many single men. The
intents and purposes of the Gov
ernor's matrimonial bill, was to
incarcerate in the state peniten-
tiary every man found sim
gle six months after the
passage of the bill. The doomed
man being destined to a life term,
or to be released on condition that
ewould marry. Little attention
was, given the matter then, your
correspondent attributing the gov
ernor's utterances to that innate
gallantry that has ever been APP
parent on the part of the genial
governor, when ladies were around,
and in consideration of this gall
lantry and the congenial atmOs-
phere attendant upon New Years
receptions ample room was given
"the last of the MonteZumas" for his
little speech-making. Having
heard the report since, however,
your correspondent saluted and
stopped the urbane Uncle Frank
as he was coming down the Capital
walk this morning under full head
way. After having secured the
granting of his pardon for the in
corruption the question was put,
"Governor, are you going to run
for the legislature as they say you
arew The Governor laughed, shook
himself a little and said: 81 am
still thinking about it young man,
but bon't know for certain yet"

TO TEXAS REPUBLICANS.
Basis of Representation at the Next
State Convention.

State Convention.
H'D'Q's REP. STATE Elk. Com, !
FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. II, 1894. (
To the Republicans of Texas:
The census plan of organization,
which was submitted to the con-
vention held in Dallas April II and
13, 1892, and referred to the State
Executive committee for consider
alton with power to take such ac-
ton in the premises as seemed for
the best interest of the Republican
party in this state has been sub
mitted to the State Executive COM
mittee and by them carefully con-
sidered at the various meetings,
which have been held during the
interval since the convention of
1892. 1t has been apparent for
some time that tho sentiment of
many members of the committee
was strongly in favor of it's
adoption, and this sentiment has
been strengthened by the recent
elections, not only in Texas, but in
other Southern States. The GEN.
sus plan having therefore received
the unqualified endorsement of a
majority of the State Republican
Executive committee, is hereby
adopted, and in all future conven-
tions of the Republican party in
Texas from and after this date,
will form the basis of organiza-
ton.
The plan as adopted. together
with the apportionment of dele
gates to the State Convention as
based upon the census of 1890.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
There is no argument in person.
alities, much less is there any
sense in attempting to direct the
public mind from the considera-
ton Of public measures by plead
ing the baby act for corporation,
Rich private corporations are
amply able to take care of them
selves; when assailed they can
hire able lawyers to defend them
in court; newspapers can be pur-
chased to sound their praises; but
the people have but one medium
to express opinions,-the ballot
box.
Through the ballot box the peo-
pie elect their public servants, and
expect them to conduct their pub
lie business for the sole benefit of
the whole people.
These public servants must
guard the interests of the people,
and it is especially delegated to
them to protect the people from
all manner of eXtortion or wrong.
The city in its corporate capa-
city grants valuable franchises
and privileges to private corpora
tions,-these franchises are the
property of the people, and should
only be granted upon conditions
beneficial to the people. The trou-
BILE seems to be that our private
corporations become arrogant and
ignore the people.
A rich man, a rich bank, a rich
corpo ration are so well equipped
to take care of their own interests
that the people are very slow to
shed any tears over their trials and
tribulatiOns.

"RoBIS HOOD" TONIGHT

''RoBIS HOOD" TONIGHT.
At the Opera house tonight Barnabee
Karl and McDonali's Robin Hood Co.,
will appear in robin Hood" There is nc
more popular comic opera than "Robin
Hood and Augusta theatre-goers will un-
doubtedly avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to see it presented by this e1cellen,
company. The Bangor Whig & Courier Of
Tuesday says:
The tuneful opera Robin Hood" which
was made so popular and famous by the
Bostonians, was presented at the Opera
house last night before a large and
representative audience by one of Bar
nabee, Karl and MacDonsld's companies,
and the performance was a creditable
one in the main. "Robin Hood" teens
with bright, catchy music and that condi.
ton, together with a large measure of
comedy makes it an opera of considerable
pretentions. The company which sang the
opera last night is particularly effective in
its chorus work, which is strong and melo-
dious, but several of the principals have
good voices and vocalize and act with pleas
ing effect. Mr.. Casavant as "Will Scarlet"
Mr.. Tetson 40 tLittle John" and Miss
Ulmer as tAnnabel' made a particularly
favorable impression in that respect.
Special scenery was used in two acts and
the company was handsomely costumed.
