The Governor rendered an Informal
Reception at Jacksonville.

Reception at Jacksonville.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 27.-Gov. VIII
liam Mckinley Of Ohio and party arrived
in the city tonight and an informal re-
ception was rendered him by the board Of
trade at the st. James hotel. Two hundred
prominent citizens were present. Gov. Nc
Kinley had consented to a formal recep-
ton, but the programme was changed, it
is said, because Of the governors illness.
He was advised last night by his physi-
clan not to appear in public, but when
informed of the character and number Of
the crowd, went down for 20 minutes. The
committee having charge of the arrange
ments kept the movements of the gov
ernor secret all of yesterday for the pur-
pose of shutting out the negroes, who
when they learned the governor was to
be received sent him an invitation for a
formG reception. No negroes were present
at the hotel and but few at the depot.
Gen. Osborne Of Boston, who is with the
Mckinley party, is said to have been es-
pecially anxious to prevent the negroes
from participating in the reception TO
Gov. Mckinley, as he feared that the
presence Of the colored brother would

On the floor with his head near the foot
of the bedstead and his feet In the alcove

hole. from which the blood had ceased
flowing, while blood was spattered on the
wall. Clutched in his right hand was a
revolver, with four of its five chambers
empty.
In the alcove lay the body of Miss Thill.
Her head was near the door. while her
feet were under the washstand. She

tioB Filled mt Macon.
Macon, Ga, March 27.-Maj. ]. F. Han
son. who is one OF the most prominent
men in the state. has filed petition in
Blbb superior court to recover Si4, AS. SO
from United States Senator A. O. Bacon.
There is a long and sensational story
back Of the suit, and the Macon public
has been expecting some such proceeding
for several years, as Maj. Hanson has
freely expressed to his friends his opin-
ion Of Maj. Bacon in regard to the mat
ter.
The petitioner alleges that on April s.
1891, he was approached by A. O. Bacon
(who had been selected to approach petit
tioner because of known relations of
friendship existing between them) and by
him requested to sign as surety a certain
bond of J. S. McTighe & Co., required by
the United States court. for 100000. A
copy Of the bond is attached. Petitioner
declined to sign the bond. but at that time
and afterwards the said Bacon importuned
petitioner, representing that the signing
of the bond by the petitioner was a mere
matter OF form and involving no risk The
said Bacon further assured the petitioner
personally that he would see to It that the
petitioner would never have TO pay a
nickel Although the petitioner was dis
inclined to sign the said bond. he finally
did so after repeated insistanee and as
surance against loss made by the said Ba-
con.
The petitioner 1urther shows that after
signing the bond he dismissed the matter
from his mind, relying on the promises
of the said Bacon TO protect him as sure
ty until he was suddenly confronted with
the fact that a decree had been entered
against McTghe & Co, and their sureties,
and as one of the sureties the petitioner
was bound to pay the same. The peti-
tioner shows that he did everything IN
his power to induce the said Bacon to
protect him as he had promised to do,
but Bacon refused TO do so, and the petit
tioner was compelled to pay out SIS, 6e5.
The petitioner shows that these payments
were demanded during a time of great
financial disasters, and he had difficulty
in meeting the same, even going to the
extent Of trying to sell his private resi-
dence, all of which was known to the said
Bacon. The petitioner afterward paid out
as costs and attorneys's fees sS0s.s9 The
petitioner shows that these sums were
paid out by him because he signed the
said bond at the instance of the said Ba-
con. wherefore he says that the said Ba-
con is indebted to him in the sum OF
SD, 1888, with interest at per cent. The
petitioner asks that the defendant be
made to show cause on the 18th day of
April before the superior court of Bibb
county.

M'ALLIsTER's TRIAL.
The Stories of the witnesses Prove
Conflicting.

Fort Gaines. Ca, March H.-The case
of the state VS.. McAllister for the murder
of Judson Hyatt came up to-day At 3
O'Clock the twelfth Juror was secured
and the full panel sworn I'm. Judge Guer-
ry opened for the state in a brief but re-
markably forcible presentation Of the
case.
A. II. Mathews. a drummer who was at
the Cook house and with Hyatt the night
he was killed. was the leading witness
for the state The testimony of the other
witnesses was corroborative Of the con-
duction of the prosecution that the killing
was a wanton act and not in self defense
The evidence was strong against the
claim that the pistol found on the floor was
Hyatt's. Only one witness thought the
pistol identified as Hyatt's was found on
the floor.
Mrs Hyatt swore she packed her hus-
bands grip and put his pistol In and he
was unaware of 1t, and that II was the
first time he had carried one with him
for three years. When she was shown
the bullet pierced vest her grief overcame
her and a wall of anguish broke from her
lips that moved men TO tears. The scene
in the court at that moment will never
be forgotten.
The state rested at II 80 O'Clock and court
took recess until 1880 O'Clock.
On reconvening the counsel for the
state, with the consent of the counsel for
defendant. recalled Mr.. Mathews, who
had a diagram of the room in which Hy-
att was killed. and explained 1t to the
jury.
Col. Hammond opened the case for the
defense in a short speech to the jury, in
which he cautioned them to look on both
sides of a case II they wished to reach
fair and just conclusion.
Bob McAllister was the first and most
important witness for the defendant. He
swore that when he entered the room
where Hyatt was shot, Hyatt was on his
feet with a pistol in his hand, but stag
gerlng and fell in a moment to the floor.
His evidence was the only direct evidence
outside of the defendants own statement
that sustains his claim Of self defense.
Other witnesses for the defense testi-
fed 10 seeing Hyatt on the floor with the
pistol on the floor near him, and to
hearing McAllister say he did Il in self
defense.
The defense sought to show also that Nc
AFjster was sober on the night Of the
killing.
McAllister was permitted to make a
statement In which he claimed that Hyatt
attempted to pull a pistol and he shot
him to save himself. After the defendant
had concluded his statement, the defense
rested.
The state announced that they desired
to present witnesses in rebuttal. but could

THURsTON VERY CURT.
His Note TO Secretary Gresham Con-
tains No Explanations


Washington, March 27.-Mr Thurston,
the Hawaiian minister at this point, left
Washington this afternoon for San Fran
cisco. He travels by a circuitous route
in order to give his personal attention
TO a few private matters, and will reach
San Francisco April in time to sail on
the following day.
Minister Thurston's formal note
TO Secretary Gresham announcing
his intended departure from Wash
lngton, which reached the secretary
this morning, is understood to be brief
almost to the point of curtness. 1t con-
tanned no reference to a leave of absence
or cause of departure, but under yester-
days date simply stated that he intended
10 depart for Honolulu this afternoon
leaving Secretary Hastings in charge of
me Hawaiian legation. The note is said
oy those familiar with diplomatic com
munieations of its class, to have been
remarkable for its omission of the Gus
tomary courteous explanations and alb
solutely unique in failing to announce
whether his government had or had not
given him leave of absence.

A CINCINNATI bank FAILS.
The Collapse Attributed to had
Management.

Cincinnati, O., March N.-The CONNER
cial Bank, located at 1872 Main street. as
signed this afternoon to w. II. Campbell,
its cashier. The decision to go out Of
business was reported but half an hour
before assignment. The bank was COM
PEELED to make good $4,000 worth of bad
paper yesterday. When the bank sent its
paper to the clearing house this after
noon the directors of the association,
on motion OF Cashier Guthrie of the Ma
tional Lafayette Bank, suspended pay
ment on the paper and ordered an inves-
tigation Of the banks condition. This
move proved fatal and precipitated the
failure, which had been impending for
some time. The directors of the bank
were hastily called together and the at
torneys were ordered to draw up the deed
of assignment, which was filed few
minutes later.
President Foote says that the bank will
be able to pay dollar for dollar. The
bank is the oldest in the city. 1t was
organized in 1881. Charles b. Foote is
president. The bank has paid up cap
ital stock of $32S. .OOO and surplus of $40
900. Its average deposits were 100000
The stock was divided into shares of $50
each, and very little trading was done
in it.
When the first rush was made to the
bank it was closed and the iron doors
were locked tight. The rumor soon gained
circulation and a crowd of anxious deposit
ors congregated in front of the door.
The Commercial Bank was at one time
the main bank for the steamboats,, and
the Pendletons and Thomas Sherlock
were heavily interested. The opinion on
Third street is that the crash came about
through bad management.
Swing & Morse, the attorneys for the
bank, and Robert Clarke & Co. are among
the heaviest depositors.
The bank has been rediscounting it's own
paper for two weeks, showing conclusive
ly that failure was inevitable.
