WILDE AND TAYLOR.
Both Pleaded Not Guilty and Were
Placed on Trial.

LONDON, April 26.-Oscar Wilde and AL
fred Taylor were brought for trial to-day at
the Old Bailey and pleaded not guilty. Men
and women, twenty deep, filled the corridors
of the Old Bailey before 10 o'clock a. m,
and fought vainly for standing room near
the door through which the prisoners must
enter the court. Counsel for the prosecu-
ton were early in their places. The jury.
composed of highly intelligent appearing
middle-aged tradesmen was polled at 1920
a. m. and a few minutes later Wilde and
Taylor were escorted into court and placed
in the prisoners dock. Wilde was dressed
as on his former appearance in court, but
his face was drawn and haggard, his hair
had been cut and his swagger had entirely
disappeared.
Justice Charles opened court at 1925 a.
m. and a lengthy discussion followed as to
whether the prisoners should be tried on
all of the twenty-five separate counts of the
Indictments. Sir Edward Clarke, @. c.,
counsel for the defense, objected to such
a course, but the judge oyerruled him and
the prisoners then pleaded not guilty. Mr..
C. F. Gill, on behalf of the treasury. opened
the case for the prosecution, reciting the
known history of the case, dwelling on the
association of Wilde with Taylor and Civ
ing a graphic description of Taylor's dark
ened, perfumed rooms where Wilde was in
the habit of meeting his associates. Counsel
went into detail through the various charges
reviewing all the testimony which has al
the first witness. His testimony was most
revolving, but the judge held 1t to be neces-
sary that the charges against Wilde should
be explained in detail.

BLUFFTON, Ind, April 26.-Seven hun
dred and twenty quarts of nitroglycerin,
belonging to the Empire Glycerin Company,
exploded at 8 o'clock this morning while
being hauled across the Wabash river at
Poweirs ford, two miles east of this city.
VIII Timer, aged twenty-five, together with
his team and wagon, were blown to pieces,
only small fragments being found after
wards. A hole sixty feet across and fifteen
feet deep was made in the bank of the
river. Four large oak trees which over
hung the scene were broken off, one being
hurled a distance Of a hundred yards. Win
dows were broker in all the houses within
a radius of two miles, while Fort Wayne,
Muncie, Marion and cities thirty and forty
miles distant are reported to have felt the
shock distinctly.
Between six and eight thousand people
have visited the scene during the day.
Timer, the unfortunate driver of the wagon,
had been implored, time and again. by his
parents to give up his hazardous work. Last
night before the fatal drive he promised
his mother to take one more load to the
magazine and then quit. All the remains
found of Timer consisted of a piece of the
lungs, a bit of knee cap and small particles
of clothing. These will be given a respecta-
BILE burial Sunday morning. Unrecogniza-
BILE pieces of harness, horse flesh and wagon
were found hanging in the trees 100 yards
distant. The explosive was being hauled to
the fields for the Ohio and Indiana Torpedo
Company, whose works were destroyed at
Lima, O., Wednesday BY an explosion. This
loss. together with that of the Lima plant,
will seriously cripple oil operations for a
few days.

They were royalty entertained, and were so

Dunkards now have five well-established
colleges in the United States, located as fol-
lows: Huntingdon, Pa; Mcpherson. Kan:
Mount Morris, H.: Lordsburg, Cal, and

Morris is crowded, and for some time past
the need of a college in either Ohio or
Indiana has been felt. About a month ago
the church appointed a committee to locate
a new college. Greenville. o., Nappanee,
Ind, and North Manchester were all three
after the school. A committee consisting
of leading business men closed a contract

r HAUTE, Ind, April 26.-Presi-

Tomorrow will issue a circular to the local
unions in regard to the work of reorgan-
ization and incidentally referring to other
matters of interest to railway employees.
lie Is in high spirits over the prospects
for the growth of the order, and confidently
predicts that by the first of 1896 there will
be LOCO unions, with a total membership
OF 100000. The reports from the Northwest
and the Pacific slope give the greatest en-
enlargement. There are fourteen organic
ers at work in that section. following in
the wake of the Debs meetings held a
month ago. The order is working east
ward. and Debs will soon go to Boston in
response to an invitation from the Central
LABOR Union OF that city. A special con-
year to make some amendments to the
laws. The convention also will pass on the
question OF an insurance clause.
In the circular it is stated that all mem
DerS who are out of employment on ac-
have no money, are entitled to be carried
on the rolls until they find employment
and have the money to spare. The capita
unions are holding back until after that
date, as by Joining now they would have
yearly tax for last year.
After Debs's speech in the Auditorium in
Chicago last February United States Dis
trict Attorney Black wrote to him TO ask
for the evidence on which the accusation
was made that the general managers were
the real conspirators who violated the fed
erai law. Mr.. Debs replied tina in due
time the district attorney would be given
an opportunity to prosecute the lawbreak-
ers. 1t has been understood for some time
that when Debs had gotten through with
his own court experience the managers
would be called to account. In connection
with this subject the circular says that I'm
the due course of time steps will be taken to
ascertain IL the courts are organized for
the prosecution of only a certain class of
offenders. 1t is VIGOROUSLY true that the
conspiracy known as the General Managers
Association is guilty of crimes which, if
punished, will send its members to prison.
At the proper time the authorities will be
given an opportunity to test their zeal in
the enforcement of the law" The circular
closes with a savage attack on the old
brOtherhOOds.
