borrowed in his wife's bureau drawer. It
had been returned, and she had used 1t to
put up a picture hook in her chamber. Ben
nett was discharged and returned to Yer
mont.
Then Mrs. Adams told Of her finding the
yellow ribbon from Henry Ellis whip, and
he was arrested. since he was held to have
a motive for putting my father out of the
world. Fathers opposition to our marriage
was well known, and Henry was suspected
also of having had an eye to his money.
1t was found, indeed, that my father had
more money than | had known myself.
Henry owned to having driven into our
yard that night, and to having missed the
ribbon from his whip on his return; but one
of the hostlers in the livery stable in Digby;
where he kept his horse and buggy, came
forward and testified to finding the yellow
ribbon in the carriage room that Tuesday
night before Henry returned from his drive.
There were two yellow ribbons in evidence,
therefore, and the one produced by the
hostler seemed to fit Henry's whipstock the
more exactly.
Moreover. nearly the exact minute of the
murder was claimed TO be proved by the
post-mortem examination; and by the tes-
t!mony of the stablemen as to the hour of
Henry's return and the speed of his horse
he was further cleared of suspicion; for If
the opinion of the medical experts was cor
rect, Henry must have returned to the
livery stable too soon to have committed
the murder.
He was discharged, at any rate. although
suspicion still chung to him. Many people
believe now in his guilt-those who do not
believe in mine: and some believe we were
accomplices.
After Henry's discharge was arrested.
There was no one else left to accuse. There
must be a motive for the murder; was the

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

the Colorado river, Arizona, lassoed and
captured a mountain lion. He was out with
his lariat looking for a horse, when a

no weapon but the rope, and, throwing it,
lassoed the lion around the neck Hauling
1t tight, it began to choke the Infatuated

to get away, the boy all the time hauling

The Pension Office Team Found the
Mail Clerks Easy.
The pension office nine had but little diff
ficulty in defeating the team from the Post
Office Department yesterday at Capitol
Park. This makes three straight victories
for Capt. .Jeager's men in the new indie
pendent League.
1t was a one-sided affair from start to
finish, as the z. o. DIS lack a few men
termed ball players. They tried three pitch
ers yesterday, and all were batted very
hard Their infeld was weak, especially at
second, but on the other side it was
just the opposite, with one excep-
ton. Ellis was put on third. but will have
to have little more practice before he re-
turns to that bag. The Pony battery
Wright and Raab-was the winning bat
terry, and they did things up in fine style
Wrights slow curves can fool most any of
them.
Bishop and Farral were the only ones
who could hit the ball for the 2. Q. DIS,
the former making a two-base hit and a
clean home run over left-feld fence, which
scored three of their five runs
Fer the Pensioners Raab did the best
work with the stick, making four hits, two
of which were three-baggers.
The Y. NJ. G. A. team is about the only
one that gives the pension office nine any
trouble, and they make them play hard for
victory. They will play today at Capitol
Park. Morrison and Carr will be the bat
Raab for the Pensioners.

TOO FREE WITH HIS PISTOL.
A Special Policeman Who Caused Ex-
element at u Railroad Station.

There was an exciting scene under the
car shed at the Baltimore and Ohio depot
last night between 8 and 10 o'clock. Spe-
cial Officer John NJ Green, colored, had
some trouble with William Gooding, a col
ored eXcursionist. Green drew his revolver
and fired two shots. There was large
crowd about the depot at the time, and it
is considered remarkable that no one was
hurt by the shots. Green is in the employ
of the railroad company, and Turing the
day he had been at Harper's Ferry, at
tending Sunday school picnic.
1t is said that he had some trouble with
Gooding at Harper's Ferry, and when the
train reached the depot and the excur-
sicnists We're about to leave it, he made an
attempt to arrest Gooding.
Gooding naturally resisted arrest, for If
he had done anything at Harpers Ferry
he knew he could not be punished for it
here.
When he got away from Green and
started to leave the depot the colored spe-
ella. policeman drew his pistol and fired
two shots. AS already stated, no one was
injured by the bullets, but the report of the
pistol shots caused some excitement, and
there came near being panic.
Precinct Detective Hartigan of the sixth
pIecirct was near at hand, and, not know
ing the cause of the shooting, he caught
the man (Gooding whom Green was pur-
SURG When Green came up he was
anxious to take charge of the man and
settle the trouble right there. But Officer
Hartigan thought that Green's conduct in
firing the shots was more serious than any
thing the other man may have done, and
he took both Green and Gooding to the
station and locked them up.
Green. who the police say was under
the influence of liquor, charged Gooding
with assault, and Officer Hartgan charged
the colored railroad officer with having dis
charged his pistol in violation of law.
This morning Gooding was tried in Judge
Mills court on charge of assault and the
charge was dismissed.
Green appeared in Judge Scott's court on
the charge of discharging his pistol in vio-
laton CT law, and he entered a plea of
guilty. His personal bonds were taken.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASES.
Ex-senator Henderson VIII Take
Part In the HEARING

Ex-senator Henderson Of Nebraska has
arrived here to take part in the hearing
before Controller Bowler tomorrow as to
the constitutionality of the law for the
payment of the sugar bounty Senators
Caffery and Blanchard Of Louisiana are
also here, and Judge Simmons of New Or
leans is expected. Senator Henderson said
last night: THE beet sugar industry Is
very extensive in Nebraska, and when this
question was raised by the controller 1t
was Of such Importance to our industry
that readily consented to come here and
argue the case. The position to be pre-
scented is simply this: That Congress and
the President are the judges in the first in
stance of the constitutionality of a law.
They have passed on the question and have
found no objection. The only other author
ity that can pass upon the question of
constitutionality is the Supreme Court of
the United States after the subject has
reached 1t through the subordinate courts.
There is abundance of authority to sup
port this position, and not single author
ity against it."
