Taial of the Robins ons.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 1S.-The most
dramatic scene of the Gibbs murder
trial occurred yesterday while Deputy
Sheriff Abbey of Cleveland told how
Clarence Robinson described the killing
of Gibbs by his wife Sadie. He said
Clarence declared Sadie's alleged con-
fession was lie and showed how Gibbs
was held up. During the examination of
Detective Cusack the defense tried to
prove Sadie was coerced into making
her confession by threats and intimida-
ton. Cusack swore Sadie confessed
she fired the shot that killed Montgom-
cry Gibbs. Sadie herself took the stand
and declared Cusack told her Clarence
had another wife, and in that way tried
to induce her to testify against her
husband. Cusack positively denied hav-
ing ever held out any inducements to
Sadie to obtain hcs confession.

THE SAFES DESTROYED.
Money Loss In the vandalia Wreck VIII
Run into the Thousands

Terre Haute, Ind, March 1S.-The
wreck on the Vandalia early yesterday
morning was lucky one as to the es-
cape of the passengers and the train
crews, only five being slightly injured,
but the loss of money in burning of the
express car containing the through
sealed safe from New York for ST. Louis
is large. Just how much Is not known
here, but enough is known to warrant
the assertion that it is well up in the
thousands and may be more than $780,

FOR PARLOR CAR BILL.
Michigan Senator Will Make Deter
mined Effort to Have 1t Passed.

h"eu EHOrt TO Have 1t Passed.
Lansing, Mich, March 1S.-Early in
the legislative session a bill was in
troduced by Senator Jewell providing
FOR taxing parlor, palace sleeping, and
dining car companies. Yesterday a
motion was made to take the measure
from the general order and refer it to
the railroad committee. This was op-
posed by Jewell, who asked that the bill
go to the judiciary committee and such
reference was made. The house killed
the bills amending the state live stock
law preventing the spread of infectious
diseases among animals; providing for
a state tax statistician; and providing
for the assessment of all maritime
property at the place where the head
quarters of the firm or corporation own
ing it is situated. The senate killed
the bill allowing employees to go into
particular insurance organizations
where employees and employers are
mutually agreed. The objection to this
bill was that corporations form insur-
ance organizations and compel en-
ployes to pay eXorbitant rates. If an
employe refuses to insure he takes
chance of losing his situation.

NH. MAGEE TALKS.

Plttsburg, Aug. 29.-To a staff corre-
spondent Of the Washington Star who
Is reporting the Pennsylvan political
fight c. l.. Magee said last week: "This
contest with Mr.. Quay was not precipi-
tated by those who are now opposing
him. Let me review the history OF
Pennsylvania politics for the last few
years. We had seen the defeat OF the
candidate for governor whom Mr.. Quay
insisted upon nominating against the
protests Of many OF his associates in
Republican politics. The next man we
put I'D carried the state by a good
round figure and Republican prospects
began to revive. We rolled up larger
majority at the congressional elections
and in the election of a congressman
at-large simply swept the Democracy
out Of sight. We whipped them sound
ly in the city elections at Philadelphia,
and the Democracy has been on a
steady decline. Much of this was done
under Colonel Gilkeson. as chairman of
the state committee. We knew his
works and wanted to continue him In a
position where he could keep UP the
record he made for us. Then, at this
juncture. in stepped Senator Quay with
the demand that he should. be made
state chairman. He came as disturb
ing element and there was no occasion
for his interference. The people resent
ed 1t and that IL the cause Of this oppo-
sltion to him."
"Then you maintain that Senator
Quay was the aggressor In this fight? 2"
why, certainly. At q time Of pro-
found peace and unexampled prosperity
In the Republican party he intruded
himself as a bone of contention to pro-
duce factlonal friction. No disturbance
In the party would have occurred had
he kept out"
But why ehould his candidacy for
chairman Of the state committee be the
cause Of discord In the party7"
Because he raises the issue at once
whether the Republicans. OF Pennsyl-
vania shall longer submit to the domi-
nation of one man. He attempts to be
the supreme dictator Of all federal
patronage Of the party. irrespective Of
the wishes and demands Of the people
OF the different sections who should
have a voice in the disposal Of such
matters. He has contended that the
United States senator's should dispense
all the federal patronage. while others
believe It should be left to the party or
ganiEations in the districts most direct
ly concerned. His plan will not do any
longer In this state, and the people do
mand . change. Qfe endeavored TO dc
tate the course Of the party In Philadel-
