NOT GUILTY.
THE EXPECTED HAPPENED IN
THE HEARNE CASE.
Jury Reaches n Verdict Without
Much Waste of Time-A Pathetic
Scene in Court.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo, Dec. IL
One of the most sensational murder
cases that has ever been in the courts
of Missouri ended today, after a two
weeks trial. in a verdict of not guilty
for DR.. j. C. Hearne who was charged
with the murder Of Amos J. Stillwell,
a prominent packer of Hannibal, Mo-,
seven years ago. Mrs. Hearne who, at
the time of his death. was the wife of
Amos ]. Stillwell, is also under indict-
ment for the same crime.
The past two days have been given
up to the closing arguments of opposing
counsel. Colonel Dryden, of St Louis,
chief counsel for the defense. closed in
an eloquent appeal for his client. His
effort is pronounced one of the finest
ever heard in Pike county, and many
were drawn to tears.
For the first time since the trial be-
gan the words of his counsel moved
DIR. Hearne to display his affection for
his wife. They were both weeping bit
terly and involuntarily leaned toward
each other. Clasping his arm around
her. the doctor held her in his embrace,
and the greater time rocked to and fro
as the speaker went on. At the con-
clusion of Colonel Dryden's argument,
ex-CongresSman Champ Clarke took the
floor and spoke with his famous elo-
Quence for three hours. When he had
finished the case was given to the jury
which reached a verdict without the
waste of much time

WASHINGTON, Dec. N.-NIost of the
members of the House were all at sea
today as to what should be done in re-
sponse to the appeal Of the presidents
message for a means of protecting the
gold reserve, but there was unanimity
that Congress should stay here and face
the situation.
The Democrats were disposed to await
the action of the Republican majority
7 and the latter seemed ready to shoulder
the burden.
Here and there a member was found
who was willing to vote for gold bonds,
but the overwhelming sentiment on both
sides of the House was that the passage
of a gold bond bill was impossible, as it
would be bitterly fought by the silver
men.
Some Republicans were inclined to
couple with a bill to enable the govern
ment to procure money, a proposition for
raising revenue by amending the tariff
law. but the general sentiment seemed
to be in favor of low rate of interest
bearing long time coin bonds of small
denomination. which it was thought the
people of the country would eagerly SUBJ
scribe for to aid the treasury in its
emergency.
Just such q proposition, it will be re-
membered, Mr.. Reed offered in the last
Congress.
Speaker Reed feels the responsibility
very keenly. He realizes that the situa-
tom in the Senate and the majority for
silver there in no wise relieves the House,
and the action of the House must be in
dependent of the action and result at
the other end of the capitol.
A partial canvass of the silver men in
the Senate made among Republicans.
Democrats and Populists. alike. reveals
a. decided disposition to couple lesisIA.-
ton with any measure for the relief 81
the treasury that may be offered.
Cockrell Teller, Dubois, Pritchard.
Pettigrew. Baker and Butler all said
I. that the secretary of the treasury had
| the means for meeting the emergency in
his own hands, which was in paying out
silver and coming the silver in the treas
ury. They were likewise agreed upon
tho proposition that they would not
consent to give further authority for the
issuance of more interest-bearing bonds.
! They did not even display a Willingness
to authorize the short time certificates OF
! Indebtedness proposed last session. They
expressed the opinion that the con-
| tinuance of Congress in session during
the holidays would bring no relief.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Attorney
General Harmon said to The Herald

GORDON IMPRESSED.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-GeneraI John B.
Gordon of Georgia spoke tonight in
Central Music hall upon the Last
Days of the Confederacy" to large
audience. During his address General
Gordon dwelt at some length upon the
Monroe doctrine, declaring that it
must be upheld at any cost.
No one who knows what war
MEANS" said General Gordon, will
speak upon this matter without deep
Thought and grave deliberation. How
ever, as a representative of the south.
and as the present commander in chief
of the Confederate veterans, / consider
myself safe in saying that if war
should come again the boys who wore
the gray, old as they are now, would
come to the front once more and their
old rebel yell would be heard beyond
the Canadian borders"

sauIRE,s IDEA.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator
Squire. of Washington, has introduced
a bill which will greatly increase the
usefulness as naval reserve vessels or
many steamships carrying the Amer1-
can flag.
The bill provides that hereafter all
the engineers of ocean steamers carry
ing an American register shall be full
fledged citizens of our country; also
that such engineers shall be officially
declared officers. A careful investiga-
ton of tine laws governing the mer-
chant marine shows that 1T is possible
under "a decision of the secretary of
the treasury for all ocean steamers
carrying the American flag to have
their engine-room complement made
up entirely of foreigners who have
simply declared their intention of be-
coming citizens of our country.
