There was no issue as TO good faith:
the question being, was he the thief

Lampasas: While a congregation was
assembled for religious worship some
boys conceived the idea of putting
hot drops on a certain dog that was
then in attendance on the church. De-
| PENDANT told them to 20 up to the
drug store and get the hot drops and
have them charged to him, The hot
drops were procured and the defend
ant according to his testimony told
the boys not to put them on until the
service was over. Defendant absented
himself and the boys put the drops on
the dog, who ran yelping into the
church. Some OF the women and chill
dren got up on the benches to keep out
of his way. Complaint is made Of the
charge upon principal and accomplice.
The doctrine of principal and accom-
nllce does not apply In cases OF mlsde-
demeanOr. The charge of the court
was sufficiently comprehensive to have
embraced the idea that the intent in
putting the drops on the dog was 10

A MILLIONAIRES HEIRS.
Progress of the Contest Orer EdtUart
Barron's Estate.

Progress of the Contest Orer Ed,uard
Barron's Estate.
SAN JOSE, Jan. 23.-The trial of the Bar
ron will contest, over the millions of that
gay old Lothario millionaire, Edward Bar
ron deceased, commenced this morning.
The widow of the deceased and the con-
testant, George E. Barron, were in court.
All the time was occupied in getting jury,
and the work will be continued this after
noon. The courtroom was crowded, as the
case is attracting considerable interest.
Very sensational developments regarding
the manner in which the deceased was in
auenced when he made his will are ex-
pected. There is a great array of legal
lights on both sides. By the terms of the
will the contestant is to receive an income
of 100000 during his lifetime. His brother,
William, receives 100000 outright, and
the rest of the estate is left to the three
minor children, with the widow, Eva Rose
Barron, as guardian.
Another attorney appeared in the case
to-day. 1t was Nicholas Bowden, who said
he represented the Boys and Girls Aid
Society. OF the counsel on contestants
side D. NJ. Delmas and II. V. Morehouse
were present, and Leib & CARRIER were on
hand to care for the interests of the widow
and minor heirs. A jury was secured with
little trouble. There was but one clash,
and that was when the court informed the
proponents that they would have to unite
on their challenges, and an exception was
taken.
Personally 1 do not wish to have any
more exceptions than possible noted in
this case SO as not to bring about future
troublesome complications" said Mr.. Dell
mas. 81 believe there are enough good
men in this venire to secure a jury, and for
that reason l would be willing not to hold
the other side down to four challenges ac-
cording to the ruling of the court. The in
terests of some of the parties on the other
side are antagonistic, and perhaps they
may not be able to unite in their chal-
lenges."
1t was then agreed that the proponents
be allowed eight challenges, four by the
interests represented by Judge CARRIER and
Attorney Bowden and four in behalf of the
widow represented by Attorney Leib. The
jury was secured at $3.50 o'clock as follows:
f. w. Crandall, John Flannery, Henry
Hatch, J. D. Williams, Adam Brown,
Joseph r. Holland, G. G. Smith, Charles
Parker, H. c. Hogg, G. w. Tarlton, John
Craney and T. w. Barstow. Complaint
and answer read and adjournment taken
till tomorrow morning, when the opening
statement will be made.

argument against any committees or any other
means of avoiding direct acti on on the cur
rency question. Stewart had read an article
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, addressed directly
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and arraign-
ing him for preferring gold to silver
Jones ID of Arkansas added to the interest
in the question by presenting bill which had
been discussed in the Finance Committee. Its
reading was followed with close attention,
owing to the prominence of the Senator in
shaping most of the Finance Committees work.
Jones addressed the Senate briefly concerning
the currency bill he had submitted. He spoke
Of the constant danger in the present plan OF
issuing bonds which permitted the banks to
force an issue, then to take gold from the treas
ury, in order to pay for the bonds, and thus
keep up this constant assault on the gold re-
serve and the constant necessity for bonds
'I am not believer in bonds" declared
JONES' s'but am willing to submit to bonds as
q matter of necessity as long as there is coupled
with it g sensible, manly, honest recognition OF
silver. If the feeling throughout the country
in favor of silver is properly recognized, then
will agree to the issue of bonds, and will agree
to it under no other conditions"
Jones said it was his conviction that the silver
men would make grave mistake If they in
sisted on the extreme limits OF their hopes
The failure of the silver element to secure
concerted dCIlOQ WIS I0due eNiUSuI us SUM uS
Jones closed his remarks, as Stewart again took
the floor to argue against the Jones bill. He
conceded the good motives of the Senator, but
urged that the bond provision was a surrender
to the banks and to the gold power.
The Nicaragua canal bill was then taken up
and Turpie resumed his speech against the
measure His remarks became very personal
at one point and he arraigned Morgan, who is
in charge of the bill, as chairman OF the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. Turpie declared
that he had long cherished the illusion that this
Craftsmanship was of the loftiest character and
that it was untouched and undefled by mod
ern decisions and commonplace aspirations.
But this illusion was dispelled and this lofty
craftsmanship had disappeared like will
o'wisp in the mires of the San Juan. Turpie
proceeded to urge the mortgage pro-
posed to be given to the company was diaphan-
GUS and a mere pretense. The Senator spoke
of the Canal Company stock as watered and
that this whole project was a combination OF
''fraud and water" He heaped invectives on
the ''bubble" mortgage and "snide' partner
ship with the Government, which he said was
involved in the canal project There was an
apostle surnamed Peter who had been canon

glorification OF the Cheap Johns of Congress

At the conclusion of Turpie's remarks, the
Senate went into executive session, and at 4
o'clock adjourned.

the dispute, and Churchill at once returned
to his early tactics of independence in the
Commons.
Lord Churchill continued to be striking
figure in British politics until three years
ago, when his health failed. There were
many rumors as to the cause-of his leaving
England for the interior of Africa on
hunting expedition. He had never lived
the life of the average man about town,
and no one could accuse him of following
in the footsteps of his brother the notori-
Gus Marquis of Blandford. The cause of
his trouble was insomnia, induced bv abuse
of nature. Night after night he would sit
out the longest debates in the House of
Commons, often reaching home after day.
light. During the day he would accom-
pany Lady Churchill to social functions,
and it was but q question of time when
outraged nature would assert itself. The
bitter fight which he led in the home of
radicalism and Joseph Chamberlain, and
succeeded in wrestling one of the Birming-
ham seats for himself in the election, utterly
broke him down. Nervous prostration and
want of sleep were the foes combated by
the use of morphine and the deadly drug
soon held the unfortunate man in its grasp.
The trip to Africa was a failure in every
respect. Lord Churchills health was not
benefited.
Last summer Lord Churchill, accom-
panied by his wife, who was famous as the
beautiful Jennie Jerome of New York,
sought treatment in private sanitarium
in Chicago, where he had hoped by the aid
of science to overcome the ravages' of the
deadly drug to which he had become adj
dicted, and return once more with renewed
health and vigor to theibattlefeld.
But he gained no relief and journeyed
westward, arriving in San Francisco last
August. Continuing his tour, he circled
the globe, and on December % reached
Paris. There his health became so critical
that he was removed with difficulty to his
home in London. There was a general
breaking down of his system until paraly-
sis set in and this FASTENED his death.
