HINsHAw,s NEW WITNESS.
He Goes Before the Grand Jury, but
Nothing In Known of His Evidence.

Special TO the Indianapolis journal.
DANvILI.E. Ind. Dec. 3.-Mr. Asher. the
man who claims to have seen the burglars
which Mr.. Hinshaw says killed his wife,
was before the grand jury almost all morn
ing and good portion Of e afternoon. AS
It was necessary to call upon the court to
compel him to answer questions. 1t is pre-
sumed that he answered all questions to the
satisfaction OF the jury. Late this evening
Mr.. Asher was excused and went home. The
grand jury is through with him, and 1t is
believed nothing more will come Of the in
vestigat.on. 1t is believed that the grand
jury found nothing that will throw new
light on the murder Of Thurza Hinshaw.
AS a misrepresentation may have grown
out of the statement that it was suggested
that Mr.. Parker be made deputy prosecut-
ing attorney in this matter, it should be
known that the suggestion did not come
from Mr.. Parker or any of the counsel for
Mr.. HinshaW.

filed against Balding. in the Third ward.

that these names could be legally with

ARBlIERS OF THE TURF.
Meeting of Members of the Trottiug
Association Hoard OF Review.

CHICAGO, Dec 3. = The semi-annual
meeting of the Board Of Review of the
American Trotting Association opened this
morning at the Auditorium Hotel, and will
be in session all week and may run over
into next week. There are 210 cases on the
docket for hearing. Probably the leading
case before the board is that of the Lincoln
association against j. +. Scott and J. +.
Taylor. for violating an exhibition contest.
The object of the proceedings is not to re-
cover damages, but an endeavor on the
part of the Lincoln association to have the
two famous horses ruled off the turf. Pal
mer L. Clark, secretary of the Lincoln as
ISOLATION, made a motion asking for the
expulsion of the two horses. The grounds
on which he based his motion was failure
to appear at a special race for which they
were scheduled at the last meeting OF the
association. John q. Taylor, the owner OF
Joe Patchen, and j. f. Scott, owner of John
r. Gentry, were both present. and stated
that IL had been impossible for them to
have their horses at Lincoln at the time
agreed. 1t is said, however, that these men
did not offer any reason for the alleged
breach of faith. Secretary Steiner said to-
night that no decisions had been reached
upon the case under consideration. The
board will probably take final action in the
cases tomorrow, finishing the labors of its
session by night, when the decision will be
made DtIhiic.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The regular De-
cember meeting of the board of review of
the National Trotting Association began a
the Murray Hill Hotel tonight. and will

a number of notable cases on the docket.

David Bonner, New York; Col William Ed
wards, Cleveland, o.; Joseph SibIey, Frank
lin, Pa. c. VI. Fogg, of Louisville, and ex-
Governor Mitchell, OF Wisconsin. Probably
the most important case on the calendar is
that OF Isaac Sanderson against the Char
ter Oak Park Association. of Hartford. In
connection with the twenty-thousand-dolla
Nutmeg purse for three-year-olds. a law
has been passed prohibiting pool selling in
that state, and the association concluded
that harness racing could not be prohtably
carried on, and the race was declared off.
There was a question as TO the settlement,
some claiming that only entrance money
should be returned, while others claimed
that horses eligible to start should receive
the money There have been several paral-
lei cases reported TO the board. and the
decision in this case will virtually decide

A HISTORICAL MYTH.


The Story of General JacksOn's Cotton Bale
BreastwOrks n Pleasing Fiction.
There are few of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent who do not remember being taught
that General jackson won the battle OF
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them
A dramatic account of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty of the affair appealed
vividly to the imagination. The cold
facts of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history Of Madison 5 administration, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to the story
in a note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they were either set on fire OF
knocked out at once.
Jackson's line Of breaStworks was OF
earth irregularly thrown up and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpshooters of the west did great work
as marksmen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re
treat before the American line.
The schoolbook story used to be thai
the Americans lost six killed and sever
wounded. McMaster places the figure;
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, it seems, were not all repulsed nc
cording to the popular story. The righ
line of the American troops was drive
in, and the British left advanced a mill
in the rear of jackson ON the way t,
New Orleans.
He was really fianked by this success
but the terrific Slaughter lie inflicted mp
on the British III the center, involving
the death of the first and second general
in command, completely dispirited then
and induced the return Of that wing o
their army that was ON the way to tn

lie Got the knRAr.

The following anecdote Of a tams
monkey, to whom was given a corked
bottle with lump of sugar inside, in
dicates that the animal, though unable
TO invent, could initiate. A phrenologist
would say that the monkey had per
ception, but not ''causality." How 10
get at the sugar was a problem that bade
fair to drive him crazy.
Sometimes in an impulse Of disgust
he would throw the bottle out Of his
reach and then be distracted until il
was given back TO him. At other times
he would sit with countenance of in
tense detection, contemplating the bot.
tied sugar, and then, as if pulling him.
self together for another effort at solu-
ton, would sternly take up the problem
afresh and gaze into the bottle.
He would tilt it one way and try to
drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it, try to catch
it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
capture the sugar by surprise, he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in fu-
tile bites, and warming to the pursuit of
the revolving lump used to tie himself
into regular knots round the bottle
Fits Of the most ludicrous melancholy
would alternate with spasms Of delight
as new idea seemed to suggest itself,
followed by a fresh series Of expert
ments.
Nothing availed, however, until one
day light was shed upon the problem
by jar containing bananas falling from
the table with crash and the fruit roll
ing about in all directions. His monkey
ship contemplated the catastrophe and
reasoned upon il.
Lifting the bottle high in his paws, he
brought it down upon the floor with 9
| tremendous noise, smashing the glass
/ into fragments, after which he calmly
4 transferred the sugar to his mouth anC
\ munched it with much satisfaction. -
