The nations of the world seem to
know the timid nature of the Cleve-
land administration quite at well as
Americans do. Months ago France
was asked to furnish copy of the
paper in the case of Ex-Consul Wal
Ter, who is now in French prison,
and it refused. an unprecedented
thing to do. Another demand has
since been made for the papers, and
State Department officials express
the opinion that another refusal will
in due course be made. Meanwhile
an American citizen is languishing
in French prison, ,on what he claims
to be trumped up charges and an
unfair trial. This administration
seems to be opposed to protection
for Americans either at home or
abroad.

The musical organization from
Elizabeth, Pa, known as the Zelo
Orchestra, which furnished music
at the Columbian Hotel, MouLtai
Lake Park, last week, very regret
fully departed for home Saturday.
The leader of the orchestra, Prof. W.
j. Cassidy, was at one time superin-
tendent of the public schools of
Elizabeth and nearly all the mem
bers were his scholars. Mrs. Cas-
sedv is the first cornetist and has
rare ability as a musician. The
orchestra plays fine grade of music
and Is composed of the first people
of Elizabeth. They made many
friends whilst at the Park and their
departure is regretted.
The members of Smiths Military
Band were the guests of Mr.. Adam
Howell at the Columbian Hotel,
Mountain Lake Park, on last
Thursday night, at which time and
place they gave one of their de-
lightful open air concerts and had
for an audience several hundred
persons from all over the country
who applauded every selection rem
dered and were unwilling for the
band to stop playing when the boys
were invited to the dining room by
the host to partake of refreshments.
They made a great hit and many
compliments were paid them for
their excellent playing.

JESSE WALKERS THIRD TRIAL.
He 10 10 Years Old and Killed Benjamin
Goolsby Three Years Ago.

Goolsby Three Years Ago.
STAUNTON. VA. January 2S-(Spe>
al.)-To-morrow in the County Court
of Augusta, will be begun the third trial
OF Jesse A. Walker, an old white man 70
years Of age. In the summer Of 1892. at
Basic City, near the Chesapeake and Ohio
ticket-ofiice, Walker shot and killed Ben
jamn Goolsby, young white man.
Walker has been in jail now nearly
three years. On his first trial the jury
rendered O verdict Of imprisonment In
the penitentiary. Hon. John w. Stout
was then the presiding Judge. Death re-
moved Judge Stout from the bench. and
q curious and unprecedented kink in the
proceedings ensued. After the first trial
Walkers counsel excepted 10 the verdict
az being contrary to the law and the
evidence. and Judge Stout, who alone
considered the evidence as Judge, died
before rendering his decision in the mat
ter Of Walkers first appeal. However,
the Gordian knot was cut. At second
trial walker went before the court with
a plea OF not guilty. and In this trial.
too, he was found guilty, and verdict
of imprisonment in the penitentiary was
q second time recorded. But still the
fight was not over. Walkers counsel
Messrs. Bumgardner and j. III. Crosier-
again appealed. and Judge William Nc
Laughlin set aside the second verdict.
ruling that the County Court erred In
refusing 10 admit threats said TO have
been made on the day of the tragedy by
Goolsby against Walker. even where 1t
was not shown that the threats had
been communicated to the accused. The
prisoner seems to be kindly-natured OLD
man, and SO exemplary has been his
conduct in Jail that he Is allowed some
special privileges. He kindly nurses the
sick in the prison home, and is called
the mayor OF the jail. The case attracts
great interest, and numerous witnesses
from other counties are summoned. A
special venire has been summoned from
parts remote from the scene OF the
tragedy, and the personnel Of the venire
is withheld from publication by the court
The tsial will occupy three or four days.
Walker was formerly resident of Nell
son county. Hon. Meade +. White is the
prosecuting attorney.
