This is the second party charged with
stealing the phaeton from Charles A..
Marshall, that has been tried. The court
bound the Germans over to appear at
court, but stated that he done it with a
great deal OF reluctgnce, as their account
OF themselves seemed SO straight and

suaded that it was correct, but on the
other hand there was the evidence of

charge OF stealing the same and released.

County Institute.

A reporter Of the UNION found his WAY
up to the public school building IN this
city where the Pennington county insti-
tute is being held, one day this week and
was agreeably surprised to see the large
attendance, and the intelligent appear
ance OF the teachers, and we were es-
pecially pleased at the good work being
done by the able corps Of instructors in
charge. Prof. Cook was conducting a
class IN dldactics and his reputation as
an instructor for teachers is known
throughout the northwest, and we are
satisfied that no better man for such
work can be found in this state. Prof.
Fallon had charge of the class in draw
ing and literature and from what we
saw OF his work we know the right man
is in the right place. and our teachers in
this county are fortunate in securing
one SO well fitted and prepared for this
work. While we did not hear or see any
OF the work OF Miss Murrin, but from
what we gather from the teachers in at
tendance she knows her work well and
does it in a way that gives universal
satisfaction to all.
Our county superintendent, Miss
Beach, has worked hard to make the ia
stitute a success and has succeeded IN
her efforts. She is to be congratulated
upon the selection of a conductor as

could have been made, and this com
ment Is well proved by her super1nten-
dence, as her work has demonstrated
that the people in electing Miss Beach
made no mistake.
While a correspondent in the Journal
sought to bellttle the management of
the institute for not adjourning during
the entire firemen's tournament the
outcome OF the program OF the board OF
management and the protracted fight
and delayed action ending in substitute
ing a new program, placing the most
important features at a different time
has justified the decision OF the county
superintendent and her assistants, not
to compel all teachers to incur n
cessary expense by adiourning for three
days; but by a vacation on Saturday
and an intelligent discrimination of
hours OF work on other days those in
attendance at the institute have had
the pleasure OF witnessing the most in
.structlve features OF the tournament.

man, when they had slackened their
pace to climb the hills, lit would not
surprise me if they positively refused

Never mind, Richard," said the
girl, smilingly. Father has never
vet refused me anything, when my
happiness was at stake-as it is now
Strong shrugged his shoulders.
sMine has" he answered. 'sHe is made
of flint, the old general; and if he
should take it into his head to say no,
it would be awkward in ways l don't
like to mention"
ssNever mind,' said the girl, smiling
again and lifting her veil to the rim OF
the jaunty sailor hat.
And a moment later the young man
felt much encouraged, and the gallop
was resumed.
On a slight knoll surrounded by a
grove of live-oaks and faced with an
avenue of old palms, there stood the
ample residence of Judge Weston. As
the young people came through the
gate and entered 70 the graveled
roadway, they observed two elderly
gentlemen emerge from a small forest
of rose bushes and start briskly down
the path toward them. Presently the
shorter Of the two took his companions
arm and they walked along in evident
peace and amity.
They haven't found it out vet" the
youns INA whispered.
Judge Weston assisted his daughter
to alight. "Cataerine, said he, ''this
is Gen. Strong, the father of our young
friend"
The general bent low, in an old
fashioned obeisance, and Miss Cathe-
rine instinctively made him a courtesy
out OF the mlnuet.
Father
"Dick, my dear boy!"
"See here" exclaimed the Judge, ,
suddenly. ''You were mistaken, Rich
ard, in what you told me about old Eb-
enezer Strong"
The young man braced himself for a
struggle.
"And to think, Dick" cried the rem
eral, reproachfully, ''that you never
once mentioned to the judge that your
great great : grandfather, Hezekiah
Strong, married a Weston"
"And that brings useven nearer than
we had supposed" added the Judge.
Fourth cousins instead of dfth.N,
1T was stupid Of me to forget that"
said the young man, huskily.

THE MANTLE OF SNOW
Much of It Has Disappeared During the
Week
The Snow Chart Prepared by the
Weather Bureau-Ice in Rivers
and HarbOrs.

The weather bureau publishes weekly, ON
Tuesdays, a map showing the depth of
snow on the ground at pm. of the previ-
Gus day. Last Tuesday The Star repro
duced the chart of that days issue in it's
columns and today gives another map and
the accompanying notes, showing the depth
of snow at pm. yesterday. Besides
graphically illustrating the depth of snow,
the weather bureau chart gives, in tabular
form, the depths of snow and the thick
ness Of ice-the latter at such stations as
are located on rivers and harbors.
The following notes accompany the snow
map issued today:
Much snow has disappeared during the
week throughout the greater portion of the
country. From the upper Mississippi valley
eastward to the middle Atlantic and New
England coasts the depths reported at 8
pm, February 49, generally range from 3
to 10 inches less than were reported at the
same hour on the 18th, leaving the south
crn portions of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
almost free from snow, the ground being
entirely bare from Nebraska southwark
over Kansas and Oklahoma. AS result
of the snowfall in the gulf states during
the 18th, 18th and 10th, traces OF unmelt ed
srow remain on the Texas coast from Gal
weston to Corpus Christi the southern
touching the gulf coast in the vicinity of
Mobile. Snowfall in these ATTITUDES is ex-
ceptional, and when it occurs rarely re-
mains on the ground for any considerable
length of time. but the extremely cold
weather which prevailed on the dates

named over the southwestern states, and
which gave the lowest temperatures ever
recorded in the second decade of February
in Texas, prevented the snowfall from
melting as rapidly as usual.
At the corresponding date of last year
there was no snow to the south or the
Ohio river and none to the south OF the
lower Missouri. In eastern South Dakota,
southeastern Michigan and over northern
New England, there was considerably more
snow on February 10, 1884, than now, the
difference over northern New England
amounting to from ~ to 20 inches.
Ice In Rivers and HnrbOrs.
There is considerably less ice now than
on February IL along the coast from the
Chesapeake bay to southern New England,
and while some stations on the Great Lakes
and western rivers report less than last
week, there is still much ice in the latter
sections.
In the Ohio, from Louisville to Pitts
burg ice varies from 6 to II inches; in the
Mississippi, from ST. Louis northward, no
station reports less than 10 inches, and the
thickness generally ranges from ~ to ~
inches; in the Missouri ice is foot thick
a Kansas City, from % to &c inches from
Omaha to Yankton, and from 80 to "a
inches north of Pierre, S. D.
Ice is 5 inches thick in the Congaree
river at Columbia, S. c., and the observers
at Kitty Hawk and Raleigh report and 4
inches respectively.
At the corresponding date of last year
the Ohio was entirely free from ice, the
Mississippi was open at ST. Louis and the
thickness of ice at most stations on the
upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers and
on the Great Lakes was 6 to Is inches less
at this time.
The following special reports We're tele-
graphed by weather bureau officials even
ing of February Is:
Lake Observation-Disclosures, Wis, naviga-
ton uninterrupted, though quantities of
floating ice, about eight inches thick, in
river and harbor. Grand Haven, Mich,
harbor closed by ice during greater portion
of week; one departure and no arrivals
since last report.
st. Mary's river-Sault Ste Marie, Mich,
ice twenty inches thick
Lake Huron and st. Clair river-Port
Huron, Mich, ice bridge at foot of Lake
Huron continues solid. Lake frozen far as
the eye can reach. River open from lake
to below ST. Clair.

trials. and who might be hoped to interpose
objections to the government executing the
sentences of such an alleged unconstitu-
tional court in the cases of British sub
iects or American citizens. These diplo-
mats already had at the outset OF the
trials. asked the government to postpone
execution of any capital sentence upon
British or American citizens until they had
time TO communicate with their respective
governments.
Judge Advocate Kinney made an elab-
crate reply to Neumann, especially point
ing out an explicit difference between the
Hawaiian constitution and the British pc
tition of right. whereby there was far less
limitation to the operation of martial law
He also very forcibly pointed out the fatal
inefficiency of ordinary courts in dealing
with such crimes in time OF insurrection.
when fellow conspirators might easily get
on the jurieS. Neumann's objection was
overrued and the trial proceeded.
Testimony Against Ashford.
Nowlein was a chief witness. He testi-
fed to frequent conferences with Ashford
during ten days previous to the outbreak,
In which special attention was given to
the proposed attack from the fish market,
which Ashford was to lead Just before
the time. however he told Nowlein fis
knee was lame. SO that he would be unable
to act.
cant. Davis of the Waimanalo testified
TO having conferred with Ashford about
landing the arms, especially on the day be-
fore he sailed to intercept the schooner and
get the rifles from her.
Kaae testified to his copying and the ex-
queens signing a commission for Ashford
as associate Justice. Several hackmen tes-
titled to carrying Ashford to meet Nowlein.
AMI vice versa; one that he had driven
Ashford back and forth on the Waikiki
road to meet Nowlein. as the latter bad tes-
rified Ashford's Chinese clerk testified to
Nowlein's visiting Ashford at his office.
In defense Ashford testified that all his
meetings with Nowlein related to legal
business. and especially that Nowlein was
advising with him what to do in case an
expected search warrant was served at
Washington Place. He denied that Now
leIn had ever impaired to him any definite
knowledge of the intended inSurrection.

ley on the Red river. He came to Honolulu
In 1854, and practiced law with his brother,
Clarence.
Ashford commanded the Honolulu rifles
In 1881, by whose aid the citizens compell-
ed Kalakaua to accept a liberal constitu-
ton. At the same time he got a large
sum of money from the king under pretext
of securing his personal safety-a transac-
ton which destroyed public confidence in
him. In 1889 he still commanded the rifles
and helped to subdue the insurrection of
Wilcox. but with evident reluctance, and
was believed to be in completely with
Liliuokalani and Wilcox in that affair. In
1892 he joined Wilcox in a conspiracy to
dethrone the queen, and was compelled to
leave the country, but returned to Homo
lulu after her deposition. Like his brother,
who was attorney general in the Thurston
cabinet, he has gained the reputation of
being not only Inscriptions. but careless
about the appearance of honorable con-
duct.
I'm the Queens Favor.
Marshal C. e. Wilson. the queens IA
vorite. was efficient in breaking up the plot
of Wilcox and Ashford in 1892. and prose-
cutting the conspirators. for which Ashford
cherished bitter grudge. He INDUCED this
animosity in an excessively venomous con-
tribution to Col Blounts report, setting
forth the private relations alleged to ex-
between WlSOn anu HIS SONeTelSI. II
was therefore with some surprise that 1t
was learned that Liliuokalani had lately
signed a commission for her vilifer, Ash
ford. as associate justice Of the supreme
court. well for his brother as attor-
ney general Clarence had been only
little less vituperative toward her. 1t was
apparent that the two brothers must haze
undertaken to render Indispensable service
in restoring her demolished throne. What
ever aversion Mrs. Dominis might feel for
her late vilifiers. or with whatever qualms
of disgust she might take steps to promote
them, there was no surprise felt at the srl-
venturous pair coming round to champion
her cause. as they had been rigidly ex-
Guided from all participation in the pro-
visional government or in the republic on
account of their notorious characters.
A Four Days Trial.
Shortly after the capture of Nowiein,
who gave away all his confederates. and
of Kaae. the ex-queen's private secretary.
who likewise disclosed what he knew, the
brothers were imprisoned under martial
law. Only Volney has vet been tried. His
case came before the court several days
ago and lasted, with Interruptions. for
four days. His attorney. Paul Neumann.
who had denied the jurisdiction of the
military commission in all the treason
cases. made special objection to their pow
err TO try this inferior offense of misprison
of treason. His argument was labored ind
strenuous and was evidently intended to
influence not only the minds of the court,
but also those of III. p. NJ. Commissioner
