WOMEN WERE DISMISSED
TRIAL OF SCOTT JACKSON DEyEL-
OPED INDECENT LETTERS.
Objection After Objection Argued
and OverruIed-Detecti Grim
Was on the stand.

Newport, KY, April 27.-Not only was
every available seat in the court room
filed at the Jackson trial today, but
the occupancy of the standing room in
narrow passages was permitted Ten
witnesses were examined, making 81 up
ID the present time. Much of the time
was devoted to debating by counsel. Many
questions put during the day by the COM
monwealth were ruled out. The number
of objections made by the defense and
oNerruled was too great to enumerate.
Twice during the day the jury was re-
qUired to retire during the debate For
the first time during the trial the court
gave notice to women to retire, because
letters of VIII Wood to Scott jack
son were not proper for them to hear. 1t
has been the policy of the prosecution
to bring out the bloody garments of the
dead girl every day since the beginning
Of the trial. and To-Day was no exception.
The testimony of several witnesses was
to strengthen links in the chain that has
already been forged. Detective Grim tes-
tilted to having seen tracks on the back
OF the cove where the body was found
which seemed to have been made by the
rubbers Pearl Bryan wore. He was pres
ent when Jackson and Walling were ar
rested. and also at the private examlna-
ton in the office of Chief Deitsch. The
defense moved TO rule out everything tes-
titled to which was not in the confession.
The court ruled that the jury could give
no consideration whatever to the tesu-
mony of witnesses which detailed what
one of the defendants told about the 9th
er. The question was raised regarding
another private examination held in the
room of detention. The defense argued
that Crims testimony concerning the ad-
missions of statements at this ipqulsition
was not competent until it was shown that
no threats or inducements had been en-
ployed before Jackson was brought into
the court room.

In the White house, and urged all the
friends OF the old soldiers TO stand by the
bill as the best that could be written on
the statute books at this time
Mr.. Crisp reiterated his statement that
the purpose OF the rule was to destroy the
right OF amendment, and followed this
with the charge that the bill had been
framed. not by the committee on pensions.
but by the leaders in control of the house.
who had resolved that the house should
pass this bill as drawn, or nothing.
THE committee on PENSIONS" said he.
spent days and weeks perfecting bill,
and then the gentlemen who control leg
islation and manage the affairs OF this
house made this bill out in the speakers
room. This certainly is not the bill re-
ported by the pension committee. Then
those gentlemen brought in this rule to
protect themselves against this 100 re-
publican majority If you adopt the rule
you must take this bill as it stands or
nothing If you like the situation you
are welcome to it."
Mr.. Henderson ridicuied the virtuous
Indignation of Mr.. Henderson. 1--WE now
hear" said he, "the solemn voice of the
star chamber committee rules of the Oast,
whose rules were clad in steel appealing
for no time. have no concealment TO
make. and the gentleman says he APP
peals for opportunity to amend this bill.
presumably in the interest OF the old SOL
der In the same interest l ask for ac-
ton"
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois said that as
one of the $50 ma jority lie favored the
rule. lie had voted for the act of 1890,
he said. which had placed 900 new names
on the pension roll. When the present
administration assumed control of the
pension office, at the stroke of pen 20, 900
names had been stricken from the rolls
and three hundred odd thousand pension
ers had their pensions placed in jeopardy.
This bill did not perhaps go as far as he
wished, but it was the best that could
be passed until the republican party OBJ
tanned full power.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa opposed the adop-
ton of the rule. If there was any ques-
ton on which a republican house could
be trusted, it was that of pensions, and
he protested against the interference of
the committee on rules. The bill ought
he said, to be amended.
The rule was adopted-119 to SO.
Thirty-four republicans voted against
the adoption of the order, as follows:
Blue, Bowers, Burton of Missouri, Cal
derhead. Connolly, Cook, Cooper. Crow
Their, Danford, Dewitt Eddy, Fenton,
Graft, Hager, Hartman, Henry, Hepburn
Johnson of California, Kirkpatrick, Nc
Clure. McLachlan, Miller, Miner of Wis
consin, Smith, Southard Strong. Tulla-
way. Tracewell, Updegran. Vanhorn,
Wanger and Wilson of Idaho.
When the vote was announced, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the APP
preparations committee, the senate amend
ments to the sundry civil bill were con-
Cured in and the bill sent to conference.

ROAD is TO BE SOLD
NORTHERN PACIFIC TO BE PLACED
UNDER THE HAMMER.
Necessity OF nm Accounting by Re
ceivers of the Two Courts
Done Away with.

Milwaukee, April 27.-The decree of sale
of the Northern Pacific railroad under
the consolidated mortgage of the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust Company. has been
decided on, and will be signed by Judge
Jenkins as soon as it is printed. Special
Master Alfred Carey will conduct the sale
and arrange the preiminaries as rapidly
as possible.
All the different interests have agreed
TO the decree. The matter was settled in
the United States circuit court this ev-
ening. The sale is to take place at West
Superior, Wis, at such time as shall be
fixed by the special master.
The Northern Pacific will be given 10
days in which to pay the claims against it,,
but there is no expectation that this will
be DONE The property is to be sold in
TIN zee parcels. for which separate BIDS
are to be made, which must aggregate no
less than SIP, 100000.
A stipulation in the Northern Pacific
leceivership matter was agreed to late
this afternoon and signed by all the par
ties and approved by the court. 1t in eff
feet sanctions all the payments that have
been made by the receivers. The necessity
of an accounting between the receivers
of the two courts is done away with
and their disposal of the moneys is not
to be further inquired into, beyond the
usual inspection by Master Carey. The
stipulation states that owing to the eX-
pectancy that the decree of sale is about
TO be made it is desirable to avoid the
expense and the difficulty attendant upon
n separation of the funds, so that all pay
ments made and to be made are approved.
The parties to the stipulation, however.
may withdraw at any time
Notwithsta nding the apparent unanim-
ity of all the factions, there is a decided
objection to the decree at this time and
in place of getting through with it and
securing the signature of the court in a
few hours 1t promises to be a number
of days before the matter is satisfactorily
arranged. Judge Jenkins evinced opposi-
ton to the course adopted by the attor-
neys and is apparently determined to
thoroughly dissect the proposed decree
having ordered that it be gone over sec
ton by section.

Saturdays Cyclone of the Most Sc
we're for Years.

Concordia, Kan, April 27.-The cyclone
which swept through this section of the
state Saturday evening was probably one
of the most severe that Kansas has ever
experienced. Its path was about 400 feet
wide and extended fully 20 miles. 1t
formed about o'clock Saturday evening
near the little town Of St. Joseph, in the.
eastern part of Cloud county and pass
Ell in a northeasterly direction through
the northern part Of Clay and probably
into the southern edge of Washington
county. Fortunately it struck no towns,
but its course was through a thickly set
tied portion of the Republican valley.
The first victim of the storm was ELI
Balthazar and wife, living about a mile
east of St. Joseph. The family were just
preparing to seek refuge in the cellar
when the storm struck. The family were
all more or less injured. and it is thought
two of them will die.
About a mile further east the home of
Julian Trembley was destroyed and he
was killed.
The greatest loss of life occurred south
of Clifton, some six miles. Two farm
ers-E. B. Peterson and J. l. Haynes
were killed. and a number of others
whose names could not be learned. AT
one place a woman and child were killed,
and at another a 5-year-old boy. The
body of the latter has not been found.
Several are reported seriously injured
south of Palmer. and some of them IA
tally The number killed and who have
died from their injuries is reported to
be H. but the list will doubtless be in
creased. over 25 persons are said to have
sustained serious injuries. over 20 fam
lies were rendered homeless by the
storm.
The suffering of those injured was in
creased by the severe hail and rain that
closely followed the cyclone.

KILLED FIVE PEOPLE FIRST
Maniac who Seemed to Desire Ev-
erybody's Life Is Dead.

Rockville, Ind. April 2o.-Pete Egbert.
a carpenter, % years of age, unmarried,
this morning, without apparent provoca-
ton, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Her
man Hanke and her two children, next
door neighbors. He then reloaded his
gun and going up town shot and killed
Sheriff w. M. Null and Deputy Sheriff
William Sween. whom he found in the Ma
tonal bank stairway. Egbert then es-
capped to the fair grounds. just outside of
town.
Fifty men, armed with shotguns. rifles
and pistols, surrounded the grounds Egg
bert refused to surrender. and was fired
on. He ran into stall and sent a load of
buckshot into his breast, dying instantly.
Egbert's sister at the same hour died OF
typhoid fever.
Young Egbert once was confined in a
lunatic asylum, but was discharged as
cured.
No reason is known for the killing, ex-
cept that the man was insane.

SURE OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
Committeeman Perkins interviewed
at Chicago.

Chicago. April Us. A. Perkins of Ia
coma Wash, member of the executive
committee of the National Republican
league. is registered at the Palmer house.
Mr.. Perkins says the political situation
in Washington is rather mixed. although
he is confident the state will give a good
round majority for the republican ticket
this fall Although there is a strong sill
yer sentiment in the state and the dem
ocrats and populists hope by combining
on this issue to elect a state and electoral
ticket. there is a strong sentiment in ia
vor of protection, and the republicans are
confident that by making the fight on
this line they will carry the day. The
producers on the Pacific slope are begin
ming to make up their minds, Mr.. Per-
kins says, that protection is worth more
to them than free silver. and that gold
with protection is much to be preferred
to free trade with silver.

STANDARD NINE BoDrE. ON FIRE
The Main Shaft Is Now Ringing
Furnace.

Bodie Cal, April "a fire broke out
in the Standard mine this morning before
the day shift went on. The fire started in
the 350-foot level and the flames are still
beyond control and the main shaft is a
burning furnace. Miners are doing ev-
erything in their power to bulkhead all
slopes and crosscuts to prevent the fire
from spreading to the Bodie mine. with
which 1t is connected. The electric ma
chinery burned is that put in one year
ago. The miners can not ascertain the
extent of the damage and may not for
several days. The loss is thought to be
very great. No one was in the mine at
the time the fire started. The Standard is
one of the principal gold mines Of the
state and the stock is mostly owned by
New York people
