FORT DOUGLAS GOSSIP.

Corporal Binkley, company B, Six
teenth infantry, who some time ago
successfully passed an examination for
the signal corps, U. S. A, has received
a letter from the chief signal officer,
General Greedy, the Arctic hero, inform
ing him that his chances of promotion
to this branch of the service at an
early date are favorable. There were
two vacancies in the corps about the
time Binkley was examined and they
WERE of course, Immediately filed, long
before his papers reached Washington,
as there were many candidates waiting
for vacancies to occur in this coveted
corps. The usual time which candi-
dates have to wait for promotion to
the signal corps is all the way from
two to five years, and some of them
never succeed in getting there at all
because of the long and faithful SER
vice and higher rank of later appli-
cants, to say nothing of a little politi-
cal pull on the side.
The position of signal sergeant is a
very pleasant and withal a renlunera-

Sensational Murder Trial of a
Few Years Ago Recalled.
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
TRIED, CONVICTED AND sENTENC-
ED TO BE HANGED.
After the Supposed Murderer Had
Laid in Jail For Two Years, the
Real Culprit Suicided and Left a
Written Confession, Generating
the Convicted Mana Rattiing
Romance.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE wedding
of DR.. J. Milton Bowers to Miss Mary
Bird is announced. The ceremony took
place in Denver, May 81, but the news
has been kept secret until now.
DR.. Bowers was the central figure in
an extraordinary murder case few
years ago. He was tried and con-
victed of the murder of his wife and
was sentenced to be hanged. The evil
dence against him proved to be con-
elusive. He had the entire charge of
the medicine administered to his wife,
and poison was found in her stomach
after death.
Henry Benhayon, Mrs. Bowers
brother, charged that his sister had
been killed by her husband to secure
$4,000 life insurance. The sentiment
against Bowers was very strong, and
he was convicted and sentenced to
death. After his conviction he re-
manned in Jail nearly two years, pend
ing a desperate legal fight in his be-
half. One day the community was
startled by the news of the suicide of
Henry Benhayon, the principal witness
against Bowers. Benhayon left a con-
feSsion, completely generating Bowers
of the murder of his wife. Benhayon
himself had poisoned her, and it was
his intention to also get rid of Bowers
and obtain the life insurance. This re-
markable confession was regarded at
first with doubt and a man named
DINING was arrested and tried for the
murder of Benhayon. The theory was
that Benhayon had been murdered in
the interest of Bowers and that a
forged confession had been placed by
the body. DINING was tried twice
and the second time was acquitted.
On motion of the district attorney the
case against DR.. Bowers was then dis
missed, and the man who for so long
had been under sentence of death was
released.
Miss Berry, who recently married
Bowers, played a prominent part in
the great murder trial.
It was shown that Bowers had been
very attentive to her, and had prom
ised to marry her six months before
his wife died.
DR.. Bowers and Miss Bird were mar
ried on the evening of May 81 by Rev.
n. A. Haskell in the pasonage adjoin-
ing the Unitarian church at Denver.
The license was obtained late in the
day, it is said, and kept secret. Rev.
Haskell is a resident of San Jose, Cal,
and was visiting in Denver when called
upon to perform the ceremony. He is
now in this city. AT the time of her
marriage Miss Bird was a student in a
medical college at Boulder, Colo.

BEGINNING BADLY.
THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY OF ErHF,
LIBERALS.
Sir William Harcourt's Defeat the
Political Sensation of the Hour

London, July 14-Sir William Har-
courts defeat in Derby was the SEN
sat1on in political circles tonight. 1t is
admitted on all sides that the Liberals
are beginning very badly. Of 10 mem
bers thus far elected, SO are Unionists,
TO Liberals and 4 Parnellites. Eight
Liberal seats have been captured by
the UnloniStS, and the Radicals have
captured one Unionist seat, that at
Perth. AS far as outward appearances
go, the elections are causing little eX-
element in London. There are a few
idlers in the Strand, where the Graphic
displays a representation of Lord Sails
bury and Lord Rosebery climbing lad
derS to indicate the course of the cleo
ton returns.
The moral effect of Sir William Har-
courts defeat will be great, as even
the most sangufne Conservative did
not expect a. Liberal majority of l 900
to be converted into a, Unionist major
ity of LOO.
While Sir William Harcourt Jared so
badly. Hon. A. j. Balfour, the new first
lord Of the treasury, who is to succeed
Sir William as leader of the house of
commons, nearly doubled his majority
in Manchester. After the result had
been announced in Derby at midnight,
w Il1ldIII 6dTCOUTI, W1Cn MS Vile,
drove to the Liberal headquarters and
made a. speech, saying he had been
defeated too often TO be either elated
if successful or depressed by a reverse.
But he did not wish to conceal the
magnitude of the defeat which had
fallen upon his colleagues and himself
Sir William Harcourt's defeat is gen
orally attributed to the prominence
which he gave to the local veto, or
local option measure.
The Sunday Observer Onionist,
points out that yesterdays returns of
unopposed candidates are as signifi-
cant as the results of contested cleo
lions. Seventy-six seats had been
handed over to the Unionists without
a fight, while the Liberals were allow
ed to retain only five uncontested
seats.
The Jarnellite total of unopposed re-
turns has been increased to four by
the uncontested election of John DAILY
from Limerick. Thus the McCarthyiteS
have yielded without a contest a seat
which they were in actual possession
of. Judged both by the result of the
contest and the numbers which the
Radicals had allowed to. go by de-
fault there can be but little doubt of
the final result.
T. ?. O'Connor's Sun says that yes
terday's results were a keen disap-
pointment but that it does not follow
by any means that the whole country
is going against them.
Tomorrow fifty more seats will be de-
cided, including many in London.

The Times Comment.

London. July 15.-The Times this morn
ing in its comment upon the election re-
turns, says that the first batch of con-
tests reduces the Radical majority TO half
at single blow. The most Strikingly i'm
portant incident of Saturday is the crush
ing defeat of Sir William lIarcourt. The
Unionists threw themselves with redoub-
Jed ardor into the struggle, which has al
ready been crowned with encouraging
success. The opposition will be scarcely
able to shake off the depression caused by
the wholly unexpected defeat of their
leader.
The Times proceeds with the statement
that Sir William HarCourr will contest
another seat. as the Gn:onists will be
House of Commons, of which he is an or
nament
The article dwells upon the fact that
the Liberal-Unionists have gained three
seats and says these gains sufficiently
Vindicate the vitality of the Liberal-Un-
ionists, and the value of the close alliance
they have entered into with the Conserv-
atives. 1t concludes that there is the
strongest motive and encouragement to
make the most of the present opporCuni-
ty which, II rightly used; may enable US
once for ALL to sweep the home rue impos-
ture out of English politics.
The News Idea.
The Daily News, the Liberal organ,
says of the elections: a closer eXamin-
alton of Saturdays figures makes them
less discouraging than they would seem.
The result IN Derby surprised even the
local Tories. Sir William Harcourt and
his colleague were fo2ted out on beer.
In other constituencies the efforts OF pub
icans and brewers, With the alliance OF
the militant section Of tho clergy, contrib
uted largely to the same result. There is
plenty OF cause for the Tories triumph.
But there is little cause Off Liberal dis
couragement and none whatever for des-
pair. We are used TO a bad beginning.
There is not a step of Liberal progress
which is not taken ever the stepping
stones of defeat.
The Chronicle.
The Chronicle ascribes the Liberal de-
feat to The ScandalouS miSrepreSenta ton
of the governments policy on the Indian
cotton duties, which were made in leaf
let's sent broadcast through the counny y.
The Chronicle says: We congratulate
the Unionists upon having drawn FIRST
blood at the empires cost. They have
played anti-imperial and international
games for votes of Liberals and have
failed to win two seats, owing in some
measure to the action of the independent
labor party and the Socialist federation,
who gained no result for themselves.
Their polls were small and contemptible.'
The Standard, thie Conservative organ n,
sees in the results a remarkable testimo-
ny to the growth of Conservative senti-
ment in the large towns.
Archbishop Walsh wrote a. letter which
was read in all the Dublin churches yes

The principal event of the week in
this order was the installation of Of
ficers for the three lodges on Wednes-
day evening 1t was a joint installa-
ton. and took place in the I. o. o. f.
hall in the presence of a large number
of members of the order and their
friends. After the ceremonies, the bal
ance of the evening was spent in social
amusementS. A full account of the
proceedings appeared in The Herald of
Thursday.
The ladies of Cheyenne lodge are re-
freshingly active in devising ways and
means for the promotion Of the social
features of the order.
On the 9th ult, Mrs. T. Dudley, Miss

time was had, the participants all vot-

Several members of the lodge are
now rehearsing a play. which will be
produced on the 9Th inst. Dramatic en-
tertainmentS appear to be a popular
mode Of amusement among the ladies
of Cheyenne No. 1 and should be en-
couraged, as the experience and conf
dence acquired from "Strutting their
brief hour" behind the foot-hghts is
the best kind of an education for those
who in all probability will be called
upon, at some future date, to fill the
various offices of the lodge.
Arrangements are in progress, and
nearing completion, for public install
lation of officers, which will occur some
time this month.

i. O. O. f.

The subordinate lodges of this order
all met at their regular stated times.
The new officers are taking hold with a
great deal of enthusiasm and the work
is progressing in quite satisfactory
manner. A reasonable amount of de-
gree work was done last week and
quite a large number of applications
were received from parties wishing to
join the order.
The annual summer excursion is be-
ing talked of and arrangements will
be made as soon as possible for the
annual out which has become a regu-
lar land mark in the order. In former
years the excursion has been a marked
success and no doubt this year it will
be fully up to the standard of years
gone by
