The Military Parade.


The military parade yesterday forenoon
was all that could be desired by the
civilians on the sidewalk and the military
men In the line. They were all soldiers
Tor the time being, at least, and il was a
soldierly looking turnout without any
marring effects in the way of trade hor-
ribles or black coated organizations. 1t Is
q good While since procession with sue h
variety Of color, better marching exhibi-
ton, and better music has been through
Providence streets. The only Reeves led
his musicians at the head of the line, the
United Train OF Artillery men wore
their attractive white coats and
the First Light Infantry Regiment
men their gorgeous red ones, while the
state uniforms furnished the background
OF the color SO very significant in the cell
ebration OF American independence.
The battalion from the Reform School,
with its own band Of music, was of course
the feature OF the line, and the little
shayers in military coats and caps with
small sized rifles over their shoulders.

Boyd testified that he saw Mrs. Brsssard
come down the botel stairs abou. 5:l5 p.
M, Sunday, June II, and about ten
minutes later LaVergne passed the hotel
windows coming from the direction OF the
ladies' stairway.
At noon an adjournment was taken,
court reconvening a. 80 O'Clock.
Long John the Chinaman who looks
after the bedrooms at the Hotel Yakima
was put on the stand. but his evidence
was OF no great importance. lie saw a
man lying on the outside OF the covers OF
the bed, 10 room % in the afternoon of
Sunday, June IL, but did not recognize
him, and the next morning at s O'Clock
there was no further indication of the use
OF the room, with the exception that the
washing utensils had been used. Louis
Boyd was recalled and stated that the
regular price of rooms at the hotel was
one dollar. NJ. q. Wills was also called
for the purpose of Identifying the gun,
but the only witness who gave any testi-
mony OF moment was William Oliver,
who has resided at the LaVergne house
for eight months. That Frank LaNergne
had been possessed OF round barreled
Winchester rifle which customarily stood
in the closet and which greatly resembled
the gun found after the murder. He had
seen it in the closet on the 10th of June,
but on looking in the same place on the
18th inst, he was unable to find it, at
least it was not in sight nor has he seen
the same gun at the house since, but
another rifle OF different pattern occu-
pies its place. An empty shell was ex-
hibited which fits the gun found under
the sidewalk. Oliver testified that he
picked it up outside of LaVergne's house
on the 18th of June.
After this the state rested and At
torney Brown asked for the discharge OF
the defendant on account of insuf1iciency
of evidence. Arguments were made on
both sides, but Justice Clark held with
the state and LaVergne was bound over
without bail.
Owing to the illness of L. ID. Joslyn the
case against him was continued until he
is we'll enough to appear.
Louis LaVergne and j. II. King, the
colored man. were discharged from GUS
tody, Prosecutor Rockford making the
statement that the state was not
in possession of sufficient eyi-
dence to justify the expense OF trial.
The cases of Harvey, who waived exami-
nation, and of Mrs. Brassard and Frank
LaVergne will come to trial at the next
session of the superior court which con-
venes October /. The evidence at the
preliminary examination was OF verv
flimsy character and hardly sufficient to
justify commitment, but the state claims
to have evidence of weight which it pre-
ferred not to open at this time.
The attorneys for the defense are vigor-
GUS in their denunciation of the course
pursued by Justice Clark and the state
representatives, and say that they will
have to show up something stronger than
they have already done to keep their eli
ents in Jail. Habeas corpus proceedings
will be resorted to, and steps to that end
have already been started.
Now that Gov. McGraw, on behalf OF
Washington, has offered reward of
$500 for the apprehension of the Bagwell
murderers, the case will take on new
interest

LOOKING FOR GERMS.
DR.. Parker Examining the Cheese
Seized Yesterday.
Made from Mix Which May Have
Been Infected.
There Had Been Diphtheria in the
Dairyman's Family.

afternoon for the purpose OF cultivat.

suspected. the cheese contains.
The seizure consisted of flfty-one
cheeses of sixty pounds weight EACH
which were shipped to New York from
the Star Creamery" at Alton. Chenan-
go County.
About week ago the State Board Of
Health received notice that Il dairyman
at Alton. In whose family there had
been fatal case of diphtheria, had
sold all OF the milk produced BY his
herd to the Star Creamery; also. that
the milk had been made into cheese,
which was intended for the New York
market
sample, which he secured and brought
back to Albany. A hasty bacteriologi-
cal examination showed bacilli of
diphtheria. every culture being a re-
markedly good specimen. An order to
seize and condemn the entire lot was
issued, but when the State health
officers arrived at Alton, they found
the cheese had been shipped to New
York.
The New York health authorities. as
told In yesterdays editions of '' The
Evening World were notified by tele-
graph. and Inspector Bayard Fuller was
detailed to make the seizure. He found
but little difficulty In locating the cneese

rented which was to be the headquarters

Western Union officials were on the

from New York to look out for him. the
men found II advisable to remove to a
hotel on Van Buren, street, near Ply

Here a complete set OF the most
modern and improved telegraph para

ticket brokers and the supposed sucker
from Colorado lined up to be SIX inned."
The next move was to employ an
electrician named Moffett, who. to-
rether with McNutt. was to tap the
wires and make the necessary connec-

Yesterday afternoon. while the wire
tappers were getting in their fine work
on the hotel roof six detectives swooped

planned that the law was very clear.
That no evidence had been placed be-
fore him to show that the men had con-

All that had been shown was that they
had refused to work on the ground that
they were sick from lack Of proper food,
and for refusing to work they were
only liable TO fine.

RAINEO IN TORRENTS.
Fierce Morning Storm, with Thun-
der and Lightning.
II Cooled the Atmosphere and
Cleaned the Streets.
Incidentally II Flooded Some Places
and Inconvenience People.

When the sun made preparations to
rise this morning he wore a grin that
sent the mercury in Weather Prophet
Dunn's thermometer spinning up to II
degrees This BODIED i'll for the city.
Under ordinary circumstances that grin
would have expanded until the suns
hot breath had made New York seem
like an oven. But even the suns best
laid plans are often 'nipped in the bud, :"
and rarely has this been more forcibi,
exemplified than to-day by the interven-
ton of big black rain-cloud.
Whether or not Jupiter Pluvius COM
n,iserateo mankind or had bone to
pick with his red-faced subaltern, Old
Sol, is a matter of Indifference. The
fact remains that Old Jup turned on the
hose SO effectually at $50 o'clock this
morning that by the time the outpour-
ings ceased. at go o'clock. the suns
humor had all vanished. and Prophet
Elias, who has been umpiring the con-
