saw Hodgins strike Isenhart twice after
he was down. I grabbed Hodgins' arm
and said, what are you striking that
man for?' He said: 'I'Il teach him to

then kicked him on the hip Up to this

porter asked,

Nr. Tobias saw the whole thing and he
told me Hodgins struck Isenhart from
behind when he wasn't looking. While
l don't like to be mixed up in their quar-

fair.
There were half dozen members of
the Topeka club sitting in the doorway
of Mr.. Thompson's store They wit
messed the whole thing and did not offer
to interpose or make any interference.
1t looked to me as though they
had been expecting it and were
waiting there. After the assault Hodg-
ins walked into the store. When the po-
liceman came he was told where Hodg-
ms had gone. Then one of the men, l
don't know which one, denied that Hodg-
ms had gone in there. l said, Yes, he
did; l saw him. The officer looked
again and found out that Hodgins had
gone into the basement and out the alley

He Was Once Prohibition Candidate For
President And "a Baptist Minister.
WASHINGTON. June 29.-General Green
Clay Smith, once prohibition candidate
for president, war veteran and in re-
cent years a well known Baptist pastor
of Washington, died at his home in
Northeast Washington at 1886 o'clock
this afternoon.
For several months he had been in
poor health and over a fortnight ago
malignant carbuncle began to develop
on the neck. 1t rapidly increased and
despite the efforts of his physicians,
blood poisoning set in and the condition
of the distinguished patient grew alarm
ing. His condition had been very
critical during the week, but there was u
noticeable gain yesterday which gsve
rise to hopes of his recovery.
A collapse occurred however, shortly
before noon today and the patien nt began
sinking and the end soon came All of
the Immediate members of the family
were at the bedside.

"Boodle, boodle," sounded in the ears
of the unfortunate alderman from the
Sixth ward
"Get him out,'' yelled man, and this
demand, which had been repeated earlier
in the day, was for the first time cheered-
"Rope, rope" yelled several, while the
women hissed and the men roared
"Boodle," Doodle" sect that rope"
President Bartels raped and raped
for order. He said he would move him
self to go into executive session.
The great gathering laughed. 1t would
have been rather difficult to have cleared
the building.
The president then sent one of the po-
licemen for more officials.
There were cries for Emery to rise and
explain regarding that pernicious fifteen
years. clause. He sat still and refused to
move.
A row of women from his ward were
sitting at the foot of the dais close to his
desk. They proceeded to call him to ac-
count They shook their closed hands at
him and warned him of what he might
expect later.
''Get Emery!" cried man as he press
ed forward ''No, take them all" shout
ed another.
The better class of people we're ap-
pealing to those nearest them not to use
violence, while there were others who
melted the people to reduce the number
of rioters.
Additional policemen, city hall en-
ployes, under the leadership of Captain
Duggan, appeared, and their presence
restored something like order.

case entered as "R. Hodgins-assault,"
was dismissed Hodgins had deposited
So for his appearance. He did not ap-
pear there in person but was represented
by his attorney, ]. B. Furry. Hodgins
had arranged to come in response to
telephone call if he was wanted. When
the case was called Mr.. Furry said he
was ready for trial. Mr.. Isenhart how
ever was not present. City Attorney
Bird had no witnesses with which to
prosecute the case. The only thing left
for Judge Ferry to do was to dismiss the
case.
The reason Mr.. Isenhart did not appear
to prosecute the case in the police court
was that he had arranged for a prOsecu-
tion in higher court, Last evening at
8 o'clock Mr. Isenhart engaged a hack
and was driven to County Attorney SAT-
ford's home in North Topeka. Mr.. SAT-
ford was taken to his Office and an in
formation against Hodgins for assault
and battery was drawn up.
Fred Waters, the deputy clerk of the
district court, who lives at Seventh and
Buchanan streets, was next aroused to
endorse the Information. Then Judge
Hazen was awakened and requested to
endorse the amount of the bond, which
he fixed at 5000 A trip to the county
Jail failed 20 find the sheriff in, and af-
ter MIR. Stafford was taken home Deputy
Sheriff Dan Jones, who also lives in the
first ward, was aroused and sent to serve
the warrant.
By the time Dan Jones got to Hodg-
ms home, next door to the Topeka club
it was past 10 o'clock. Hodgins was
awakened and made to dress and accom-
panv the officer. He was driven to the
home of Santa Fe Receiver ]. c. Wilson,
on Harrison street, who is member of
the club. Mr.. Wilson signed the bond
for $500 and Hodgins went back to bed.
The maximum penalty for assault and
battery is $1,000 fine and a year in jail
The case will be tried in Judge Hazen's
court without any preliminary hearing.

GOV. MORRILL's LETTER TO THE
ATCHISON SALOON KEEPERS.

Is This a Play for Endorsement at the
Temperance Convention at Topeka?
Governor Morrill, has kept his word
with the Atchinson preachers and has
ordered the Republican members of the
Atchison police board to close the sa-

The following is the letter of instruc-
tions from the governor:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, TOPEKA,
June 27, 1895.
David Baker and Captain Carpenter. Members
DEAR SIRs:-It is represented to me
that no attempt is made to enforce the
prohibitory law, the law against gam
bling, or the law against houses of i'll
fame in your city; that new saloons are
springing up; that a number have been
started within the past thirty or forty
days. The object of board of police
commissioners is the enforcement of the
law. I shall expect you TO do your full
duty. l am willing TO give you fair,
reasonable time to enforce the law. If
in that time you do not succeed, L shall
endeavor to find some one that can en-
force it. Yours, truly,
E. N. MORRILL,, Governor
The commissioners will personally con-
fer with the governor not later than
Wednesday.
When the new Doard was lEstaIleo
there were twenty-seven open saloons,
paving fines ranging from SO to $50 "a
month. There are now but twenty-three,
and all but three or four pay $50 month,
while the others pay at the rate of thirty
three and third dollars month.
The governor is mistaken about new
saloons.

CROKER COMING HOME
NO ACTION YET TAKEN FOR CRU

Mr.. Croker Thinks He Has Cause for Ac-
tion Against English Papers, Among
them Jerome X. JerOmes.
LONDON, June 29.-Mr Richard Crok-
er has engaged passage for America for
September IA This will take the Tam
many sachem home in time for the New
York Democratic convention. Mr..
Croker will remain in New York until
after election in November. His family
do not accompany him.
Mr. Croker, in company with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, called
at the office of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals today,
and had an interview with the secretary
of the society regarding the allegation
that he and his jockey. Sims, had cruelty
driven a horse to death.
! Croker stated the facts as set forth in
his letter to Mr.. Henry Labouchere and
also read to the secretary the paragraph
in Mr.. Jerome *. Jerome's paper con-
demning him for it. The secre-
tary commenting upon the references
in MIR. Jerome's paper as to Mr.
Croker's connection with the Tammany
organization, said that it was clear to his
mind that the writer of the article in
question exhibited animus that might be
held to disquaIify him as a censor of Mr.
Croker's conduct
The secretary said further that he was
unable at this time to take any positive
action in the case but he had
no doubt that when the report
was made it would exoner-
ate Jerry Sims. The secretary
added that in his opinion Sims certain
ly had good cause for action against MIR.

The Curse of Office Holding.

Somebody must hold Office, but tho
man who does submits to sacrifice that
is appalling. Office holding, as rule, is
a blighting curse to the Office holder.
Once be tastes the ''sweets" of Office he is
as much under the control of the Office
holding passion as the drunkard is under
the control of his appetite. Nothing
satisfies him but permanent position at
the public crib, though very often the
man could earn ten times more outside
of politics than in. Think Of business
man or professional man straining every
nerve and spending lots of money to go
to the Legislature at S. per day. But
hundreds do it, and regard defeat, which
sensible men would regard as blessing,
as serious and almost irreparable mis-
fortune. Ifit is All appointive Office and
the man unfortunately succeeds In hold
ing it for series of years, but at last is
discharged, he is as helpless as babe,
for he is utterly unfit for other occupa-
tions. This is especially true of old men
who lose their positions at Washington.
It is said that one of this class recently
cried like a child over his misfortune.
Better remain on the farm or in the work.
shop or in any private business than to
embark on the troubled sea of politics.
There is not much honor in 1t, and there
is still less money than honor, II the fin
gers do not have wax on them ; and 1t Is
better, far better, to be an honest pauper
than dishonest official. If man main
tains clear conscience, he can live and
die with at least one priceless treasure

Married in a Minute.

An unusual romance had its happy
elimination in the parlors of the Gospel
tabernacle on Wednesday night, when
the Rev. j. j.. Duren, who is in charge OF
the tabernacle, united in the holy bonds
Of wedlock the Rev. j. S. Lewis and Mrs.
F. A. Griffin, two holiness evsngelists.
He was widower and she widow.
The strange feature of the wedding is
that the two parties had never seen each
other until about ten minutes before the
wedding ceremony was performed. 1t
seems that they got into correspondence
with each other and exchanged photo
graphs. The courting was done through
the medium of epistles-which, by the
way, was quite appropriate in this in
stance-and the question was popped and
answered in the same manner. Mrs.
Griffin was waiting, all attired in her
wedding clothes, when her betrothed,
whom she had never seen, arrived, and
no time was lost in tieing the knot.
The bride has been associated with the
Rev. Mr.. Duren here for the past seven
months in missionary work, and had
made many friends.
The groom is member Of the South
Georgia Conference Of the M. E. Church,
and is stationed at Baxley, Ga. The
couple will leave to-day, returning to
their Georgia home.-CoLam6ia State,
