IN MEMORlAM.

Carrie Blanche strevig, who died one year ago,
June T. 1895.
The gate of the city opened wide,
And Carrie entered in
From the noise of the world away,
From the sorrow and the sin.
We mourn that she has left u.s.
Gut still our hearts rejoice
That she is safe within the fold,
And knows the Shepherds voice.
Our hearts should now be joyful,
As we think of Carries home
The Fathers house OF many mansions
Where he waits until we come.
BY HER PARENTS.

PEARL BRYAN'S MURDER
Evidence Given to Support the
Defense of Alonzo
Walling.
Rather CHASTITY Testimony Given by
Doctor Relating to Decapi-
tation.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 9.-When the
Walling trial was resumed this morning
the prosecution asked to have Walling re-
called, but the court refused, saying that
the State was through with the witness,
having been allowed ample time to con-
clude his examination yesterday after
noon. The State excepted to this ruling.
The defense then introduced David Locke,
ex-Chief of Police of Newport, witness
who was among the first at the scene OF
the murder. Locke said that what he had
first thought to be blood upon the privet
bushes he after ward found to be rust
stains, natural to the plant. He described
the tracks at the place. Walling's shoes
could not nave made the tracks.
A number of depositions of Greenfield
lind. people and several from officials OF
the Indiana Dental College, at Indian
apolis, were read to show that Walling
bore a good character. DR.. Wey of the
Cincinnati Dental College said Walling
was at the college Thursday and Saturday
evenings, but not on Friday, the night OF
the murder. He was not required to be
present on Friday.
DR.. Davis testified that the slight retrac
llOH OF the 1luSCieS OF the neck lQQlCaIeO
that decapitation had been done after
death. William Abbott, who embalmed
the body, was called. He swore that he
took quart of blood from the body, and
that he also found puncture of hypo-
dermic needle under the left breast.
DR.. Edwin T. Landy of Cincinnati testi-
fed as to the retraction of the muscles
about the neck. He had taken interest in
the subject on account of the discussion
in Jackson's trial and made several ex-
periments on bodies soon after death.
These went to convince him that the de-
capitation of Pearl Bryan was made when
the muscles were beginning to lose their
rigidity after death. The witness said
that it would be a difficult and tedious
task to cut off a human head in the dark
ness unless the head were hacked off.
The witness said he had killed live sheep
to determine how far blood would squirt
when the head was cut off with a sharp
knife. When he beheaded the animal the
doctor stood on sheet of paper perhaps
six feet square to show how far the blood
would squirt. The witness unrolled the
sheet of paper. The paper was covered
with blood He believed blood from a
person beheaded alive would squirt ten
feet. A number of dispositions used in the
Jackson trial were read and court ad :

bearer is attached thereto. It being i'm
possible to put mark on the Chinese, he
must tally with the description attached to
his ticket.
The mum Der of tickets issued is then
sent to the collector at the port of exit,
which is Malone, in the Plattsourg district
of this State. The men have not always
tailed with their description, and consid-
cradle confusion has consequently arisen.
The explanation given is that when these
men stop off at any port their tickets are
taken up and held in charge by their
guide. When they are ready to move on
the tickets are redistributed, often quite
indisoriminately, the wrong men getting
the tickets.
To obviate this confusion the Secretary
of the Treasury has advised, on the sug-
gestion of the District Attorney of this
State, that the person giving bonds shall
be made responsible for the transit of the
Chinese, and shall furnish proof that the
men have really left the country. This
will at once be put into practice, and in
future all bonds will be drawn up with a
proViso to that effect.

Compromises Made in Indian

GENERAL sHERMAN's STATUE
Walcott's Resolution Directing an In.
vestigatiOn of the Contract
Meets Defeat.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-Very
satisfactory progress in clearing up the
odds and ends of the legislative work of
the session was made by the Senate to-
day. Final conference reports on tue ma
val appropriation and on the Indian ap-
preparation bills were presented and
agreed to. In the naval bill COMPROMISE
was made reducing the number of new bat
tle-ships to three and directing that no con-
tracts shall b. made for armor plate until
after the Secretary of tho Navy shall have
inquired into the cost of manufacture and
shall have made a report 10 Congress. The
question of contract schools in the Indian
bill was compromised on the basis of al
lowing them (where there are no other
schools to take their pIace) during the hs-
cal year 1897.
A resolution which had been offered
yesterday by Wolcott of Colorado respect
ing the erection of an equestrian statue to
General William T. Sherman in the City
of Washington was taken up and discussed
for nearly two hours. 1t directed an in
quiry by the Committee on Library into
the facts and circumstances of the contract,
and requested the Secretary of War to sus-
pend its execution till next session. The
resolution was defeated. The bill in reia-
ton to contempts of court, reported from
the Judiciary Committee by Hill of New
York, was taken up, discussed for some
time and then allowed to be set aside in
formally so other business might be taken
up.
The bill increasing from $40 to $50 a
month the pension of Francis E. Hoover,
which was vetoed by the Presieent and
afterward passed by the House over the
Presidents veto, was taken up anu dis
cussed, but when the Senate came to vote
on its passage it turned out that there was
no voting quorum in the chamber and
then at $40 o'clock the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-On the
day before that on which Congress is con-
tidently expected to finally adjourn for
the session the House spent six and half
hours in the consideration of contested
election case-T. H. Aldrich (R.) VS.. Oscar
w. Underwood CD from the Ninth Ala
bama District. 1t was the unfinished
business when the House reassembled at
10 o'clock in further continuance of the
legislative day of Saturday, the pending
question being the motion of Daniels (R.)
of New York to lay on the table the mo-
tion by Owens CD of Kentucky to recon-
slider the vote by which on Monday the
House decided to consider the case.
There being no quorum present at that
time it was decided by the Republican
leaders to enforce for the first time the
Tucker rule, incorporated into the code of
the Fifth-fourth Congress. Before all its
features, especially that by which the
Sergeant-at-arms produces absent mem
bers were brought into play, however, a
quorum appeared and the discussion was
begun. 1t was participated in by Daniels
(R.) of New York and Linney (R.) of
North Carolina in favor of the contestant
and Underwood and Stallings CD OF Ala
bama in favor of the contestee. There
was considerable RepublIc opposition to
the recommendation of the committee and
the resolution declaring Aldrich entitled
to his seat was agreed to by less than ten
majority, the vote being 116 ayes, 10Y
noes. Aldrich was sworn in.
The final conference reports on the In
dian and naval bills were agreed to amid
applause.
The report of the conferees upon the
sundry civil appropriation, a final agree
ment as to all matters in dispute, except
the public building appropriation, was
agreed to. The House voted to insist upon
its disagreement to these except as to that
for the building at Savannah, Ca, but by
a vote of 96 to 81 agreed to it.
The House disagreed to the Senate
amendment to the urgent deficiency bill,
giving to every employe on the rolls De-
cember 2 1895, and since discharged, a
months salary.
The rules were suspended, and bill
passed to put into operation the recon-
mendation of the international conference
for preventing collisions at sea.
A resolution reported from the Commit
tee on Accounts was agreed to, authoriz-
ing the Speaker to appoint special com
mittee of five to sit during recess to in
vestigate the charges of mismanagenent
against the Leavenworth Soldiers Home
and appropriating $4,000 for its expenses.
At o'clock still further recess was
taken until 10 clock tomorrow.
