THE sAMIsH MURDER TRIAL.
Damaging Testimony Given by Wit
nesses for the Prosecution.

Mount Vernon. Oct. 2s.-Speclal-Fhe
Samish murder trial drew a larger crowd
than ever today In the superior court and
the prosecution had some or its strongest
witnesses on the stand. John White, the
rival ferryman, who was with the unfor-
tunate Wheeler upon the fatal day in Au-
gust. gave his story OF the shooting ARRAY,
and Capt. George Dean told a story which
greatly strengthened the case against the
prisoners. a number of witnesses tssti-
fed further 10 the threats made before
the shooting. and gave further particulars
as 10 the feud which White claims began
when he started the rival hotel.
Mrs Eckenherger. a neighbor or the
Baldwins on the island, testified that Bald
win had told her that the pimp Wheeler
had left the island just I'm time to save
his life" and has also said that IF Wheel
er ever crossed his path he would lay him
out
Mrs. John White testified that Loop had
told her he went down 10 the wharf 10
help Baldwin.
John White told the story Of the affray
as he gave IL at the preliminary eXamina-
ton. He went down on the wharf IN COM
pany with Wheeler. They separated, ana
as he looked around he saw Baldwin.
Loop and Perkins close In on Wheeler. and
after Wheeler had fed around the ware
house he saw Baldwin approach the pros

fellow Wheeler. only that he did not want
his name mixed up with such an ordinary

and of wheeler's call for help. A little
later he saw Baldwin standing over
Wheeler shooting into the fallen man,
while Loop and Perkins stood kicking AMI
beating him He had with difficulty in
duced them TO come away from the man
and let him live.
d Ellis Douty told Of hearing the shots
from the hank and running down 10 the
wharf He saw only the last part OF the
affray hut his testimony corroborated that
OF White AMI Dean. Sheriff Perkinson
produced the three revolvers used in the
shooting and they were identified. They
were all nve-shcoters. Baldwin's pistol
was fully loaded. Whites had three loads
and the dead mans only one load left.
The prosecution was about 10 introduce
evidence in regard 10 the death OF Wheel
er when the defense raised the point that
the information failed 10 state the place
Of death. The same point was raised in
King county in the territory vs. Miller
and the state vs.. Fredericks. Adjourn
ment was taken until Monday 10 give
counsel time 10 make argument. The de-
fense promises some startling testimony
as to Wheeler's character and history.

can readily see that little Greece does
not lack for rich relatives.
The crown prince is the happy father
of two little boys, so the succession is
fully secured.
Prince George of Greece is happy
young fellow, and is well known to the
world through his exciting adventure
with an assassin in Japan some time
ago. Princess Marie forms another
member of the royal family. Her elder
sister, Alexandra, died recently.
Excitement attends political life in
Greece, as the average life of a min
istry is little more than ten months.

that in the face of great odds it has
been wise and beneficial. He would
not claim the character of statesman
king, but he possesses prominently
the ''level head" and unfailing tact
As cool as the GREEKS are hot, he has
gone in and out among them as mas
ter moderator-a sane and steadying
influence; and his unique relations have
put in his hands a diplomatic power
which has been of supreme consequence
to his people.
With a population of hardly 1880, 900,
Greece has a debt of s164, 000, 900, or
about S75 per capita.

September 8, 1861, he participated in
the defense of Washington city, the en-
gagement of Vienna and the battle of
Bull Run.
AS commander of the division of the
army of the Ohio he saw exacting serv-
ice at Nashville, PittSburg Landing,
Shiloh and Corinth.
Promotion to rank of major general
came to him July II, 1862, and he was
then given command of the first corps,
army of the Ohio, which he led
through Kentucky and the relief of
Nashville, involving, among other en-
gagements, the battle of Perrysville.
He was in command of the union
forces at the battle of Liberty Gap, and
participated at Stone river and Chicl1a-
manga His part in the Tennessee
campaign was brilliant one and the
engagements in which he participated
with the greatest valor were numerous.
From October, 1868, to November,
1864, he was on waiting orders at the
city of Washington, in defense of which
he took an active and important part.
He was then transferred to the middle
military division, where he served un-
til February, 1865, when he was placed
In command of the district of eastern
Arkansas, his duty here ending May,
1865.
The following five months he spent,
while on waiting orders, with a com
mittee from congress in the investiga-
lion of Indian affairs III the west. His
resignation from the volunteer service
was given October 81, 1865, and he was
made Northumberland of the Twenty
sixth infantry March 5, 1867. Next he
was transferred to the Tenth infantry
in 1869, followed by promotion to colo
mel OF the Sixth infantry December Is,
1850. In this position, by reason of the
frequent transfers of his regiment, he
saw a wide variety of service. From
December, 1874, to June, 1875, he was
acting inspector general of the depart
ment of the Missouri, and from the lat
ter date to December, 1880, he was colo
mel and aid-de-camp to the general of
the army.
During the period from May 10, 1886,
to August 2s, 1890, his abilities as an
instructor and executive officer were
again called into requisition He was
commander of the Infantry and Cav
airy School of Application. His ap-
pointment as brigadier general was
made July II, 1890, and he was then
placed in command Of the department
of Arizona, which position he held un-
til appointed major general.

speak words of praise for the bicycle,
for believe that it's use is commonly
beneficial and not at all detrimental to
health, except in the matter of begin
ners who overdo it,
The bicycle craze seems to me to be
only in its infancy, for probably in time
we shall witness the spectacle of our
business men going to their offices
mounted on the bicycle, instead of us
ing the tramways.
AS for the bicycle being more popular
in America than in England, | am
rather inclined to believe, from what |
have seen in both countries, that its
popularity on sides of the water, among
English speaking people, is a pretty
even thing.

The dowry of Turkish bride is
fixed both by law and custom, and must
not exceed a sum equal to s1.7O in

can this amount be made greater or
less, even though the parents be ex-

The wedding is invariably set for
Thursday, the festivities beginning on
the previous Monday and lasting four
days The merry-malsing is carried on
by the men and women separately, and
each day is distinguished by a change
in ceremonies. On no account will
Turks allow spoons, forks, knives or

WAS A BRAVE SOLDIER.
Retirement Of Gen. McCook from
Active Service.
Distinguished Member OF Famous
Fighting Famny-His Record in ln-
dian Campaigns and Through
the Civil War.


On April 20 Gen. Alexander Mcdowell
McCoolx, the most distinguished repre-
sentative of the famous fighting Nc
Cooks and who was recently promoted
to the rank of major general OF the
United States army, went on the re-
tired list. having reached his sixty
fourth wear. lie is the eldest of eight
brothers who have borne arms for their
country. and has been in the army for
forty-two years, although during the
war he served with the volunteers.
1t is probable that Brig. Gen. Ruger,
of the department of the Missouri,
with headquarters at Chicago, will be
promoted.
Gen. McCoolk's father, Maj. Daniel
McCoolx, and three of his brothers were
killed in the rebellion. The family
consisted of eight sons, four of whom,
by valiant service in the civil war, at
tanned the rank of major general. The
retiring general was born in Ohio,
April %, 1881. On his graduation from
the military academy in the summer of
1852 he was breveted second lieutenant
of the Third infantry. Only one year
later he began his frontier experience
as an Indian fighter, being detailed at
Fort Fillmore, N. M. For three years
he saw active duty in dealing with the
troublesome Apaches and Utes at vari-
Gus New Mexican stations. The expe-
rience, as a member of scouting expedi-
tions, which he gained at this period of
his life was of inestimable value to him
in after years. He participated in the
engagements of Sauwatchie pass, Ar
kansas river and ella river. The years
of 1857 and 1858 were spent in a leave
of absence followed by an assignment
as assistant instructor in military tao
tics at the academy, which position he
held at the outbreak of the civil war.
His first service in the civil war was
as recruiting and disbursing officer at
Columbus, o., his commission as colonel
of the First Ohio volunteers dating
April 10, 1861 Before his appointment
as brigadier general of volunteers,
