Miss Flagler Must Await the Action of the
 Grand Jury

Washington, Aug. Miss Elizabeth NJ. Flagler, ;he daughter of General Flag Ter, chief of ordnance of the United States army, who accidentally killed Err nest Green, a colored boy of this city, last week, technically surrendered her self to the warden of the district jail this afternoon to await the action of the grand jury. At the same time she ap- peared before Judge Cole of the criminal court and was admitted to bail in the sum of s10000.
 When court had been formally opened Assistant District Attorney Taggart stated that in view of the character of the finding of the coroner's jury it would be necessary to submit the case to the grand jury. Miss Flaglers attorney, MT. Perry, remarked that while the verdict of the coroner's jury appeared to be a complete eXoneration of the crime, it was technically finding for manslaugh- ter. He added that his client was in court and ready to furnish bail in any sum that might be demanded. Judge Cole stated that he had read the evidence taken at the inquest and that in his opin- ion the case was bailable one and that $10,000 would be sufficient. This was sat- isfactory to the assistant district att torney, whereupon John Cassels and Gen. Robert McFeeley qualified as securities.

EMERGENt JURORS.
A Novel Feature in the Durant Trial at San
 Francisco.


 San Francisco, Aug. 7.-Fourteen ju- TOTS will be empanelled to try Theodore Durant. The authority for empanelling fourteen jurors comes from an act passed by the legislature at it's last session pro- viding for alternate jurors in case trials are likely to be protracted. As soon as the regular twelve jurors are empanelled District Attorney Barnes will request Judge Murphy to allow the empanelling of two alternates. The latter has been all arranged. and during the trial four teen men will sit in the jury box. The alternate jurors are what are termed as emergency men. They will have all the privileges of regular jurymen, with the exception of casting vote or deliberat- ing upon the verdict Their presence is simply provision against possible de- lay in cases which might be caused by sickness or death of juror. This will be the first time the new law has been taken advantage of.

MccARrHY,s MANIFESTO.
Dissension in the Ranks of the Party Is De
 plored.

 Dublin. Aug 7.-The Freeman's Jour nal publishes a manifesto from Justin Mccarthy addressed to My Fellow Countrymen" The manifesto says that dissensions in the ranks of the Irish party are ruinous to the nationalists cause. and that disasters can only be re- paired by the restorat ton of discipline and the party acting loyalty together. The elections would have gone better but for thc action of the so-called national- ists openly trying to bring back the CO., ercionists to power and the more lament able blows aimed at the Irish by one of McCarty's own colleagues at the most critical moment of the elections. MT. Mccarthy says: It would be impos- sible to overestimate the disastrous ef- feet of IIcaly's unfounded charges at the Omagh convention, which were gross ly and lulicrously untrue. l am com- Delled to regard IIealys actions as dis loyal to the party and as breach of the ordinary code of honor. l feel bound to warn my colleagues and countrymen on the eve of the oponing of parliament of my views, which. if l am elected to the chairmnnship nc the party, will en- force to the utmost of my power.

WILL PLAY AT WAR.
The Vessels of the North Atlantic Squadron Are to Engage in Series of
 ManeuverS.

Washington Aug. 7.-The inauguration of a series of naval evolutions and strat- egic maneuvers greater than ever at tempted before in this country was marked today by the departure of the cruisers New York, Montgomery and Cincinnati from New York to Newport. For the next two months these vessels, with several others belonging ito the North Atlantic squadron, will execute marine programme, extending from Hampton Roads, Va, to Halifax, N. S., which will include a. strategic attack on New York and the working out of a number of problems prepared by the naval war college.
 On their arrival at Newport the vessels which left New York today will be Joined by the Raleigh and the dispatch boat Dolphin. Evolutions in naval tac- tics will be the first business of Admiral Bunce's fleet and these will extend to Portland, Me. Secretary Herbert will probably accompany the fleet for that dis tance.
 The battleship Texas will be placed in commission August 15, and will join the squadron immediately thereafter. If the Columbia proves to have sustained no injury from her recent docking ex- perience at Southampton she also will be sent to join Admiral Bunce when she comes out of the dry dock at Brooklyn. The cruiser Minneapolis will go to New port in a few days and it is possible that the monitor Amphitrite will follow. If the battleship Maine is completed in time she, too will be added to the fleet
 The programme of evolution has not been fully prepared, but it will be nec- essarily kept secret in order to carry out the intention of the admiral and the ofh- cers at the war college, to conduct a campaign such as would prevail during a war with foreign vessels endeavoring to capture cities along the Atlantic coast.

 River Bridge Gone.
IT HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY FIRE

 Man Who Didn't Like Dude Engineers.

oi Gadsden, Aug. 7.-tSpecial)-The train men of the Chattanooga Southern road arriving in the city report what came near being terrible wreck on the road at Little river, several miles above here. As the t.ain was nearing the bridge over 2 the river the engineer saw that span was gone and stopped the train in time to prevent a plunge in the river The train was delayed three hours-nntil a temporary structure could be built.
 Parties in the neighborhood said that they were passing the bridge early in the morning and discovered that it was on fire. After some efforts they succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not in time to flag down the train, and it was through the careful lookout of the en- gineer and fireman that an awful calam- ity was averted.
 The postoffice, near the bridge, was burned the same night with its entire contents. The citizens were aroused and they immediately began to search for the guilty parties.
 Wiley Tucker, half witted white man, was arrested on the charge of setting fire to the bridge and postoffice and carried to Chattanooga and jailed. He acknowl- ede ad to the crime and said that he want ed to burn the bridge because he did not like the dudish ways of the engineers and the railroad.

on his way to Atchison Thursday evening
and the mayor in response to a question
asking if he had made any appointments
said that he had not.
There can be no objection to Stew
art. He proved himself to be
an excellent officer under the
old city administration and the
appointment is a good one or course
Stewart was one of the anti-Fellows
workers and it has not been the custom
of the mayor to appoint any one fr5mtae
oppositlO1.
That there was very good reason FOR
the appointment is evident from the facs
that before the appointment was made
the mayor called DR.. J. 3. Hibben iala
his office to talk over the appointment.
The doctor also belonged to the oppos-
ton
Mayor Fellows told him that in spite OF
his opposition he had i great regard Tor
him, and then asked him what he could
DO to satisfy him and silence his oppos.-
uon TO eX Councilman Holman. lie ex-
planned that Mr.. Holman desired 10 run
for the legislature on the north side, aad
that he wanted to see him elected.
What can l do fer your" inquired the
mayor.
"You can appoint Stewart OF the sani-
tary force" replied DR.. Hibben.
Then Mr.. Stewart was appointed,
and what is more the notice of his aD-
pointment was delivered 20 him by DR..
Hibben. The ianitor Of the city build
ing made an effort to ind Stewart but
failed, and the notice was then turned
over to Dr. Hibben by the city clerk;
and by him delivered to Stewart ON
Saturday evening.
Afterward Dr. Hibben met Mr. Holman
on the street aud the conversation turned
to Stewards appointment and Mr.. Hol-
man said: "Of course the appointment
of Stewart can be Withdrawn at any
time"
This is an implication that if Stewart
failed to give the faction his support he
would find himself private citizen.
Mayor Fellows has made repeated
visits to Atchison and has seen John J.
Ingalls, on those trips 1t is said that he
desires to promise Ingalls, the delegation
from this county.
Whether the mayor is able to deliver
the goods or not will not be known for
some time. It is surprising that he
should object to the statement that he
was dickering, when neariy every one
knows what the. .Feilows-Iagalls friend
ship means.
There is 10 objection to be made to
Mr.. Holman. He was an excellent
councilman and would undoubtedly
make good legislator. but the people
will not approve of the dickering of the
mayor 10 serve his own political ends;
and the JOURNAL does not approve of the
mayor saying that he isn't pulling polit-
ical strings when he is.
