SERIOUS AccIpE>r-o NIX SHERRY.

What might have been serious acci dent occurred in front of the residence of William Jones, one evening last week. Marvin Sterry, who generally drives lively horse, WAS out for his usual even ing dust with light road cart. When in front of the above residence the horse stepped on a stone and fell, throwing Mir Story between the horses hind legs. In a moment the horse was on his feet again and dashng down the hill towards home. Mir Jones, hearing some one calling for help ran out and found Mir Stcrry lying helpless in the road. He carried him in- to the house and made him as comfort able as possible and then hitchod up his team and took him home. They found the horse in the yard still hitched to the cart and little the worse for its run. MT Sterry Is badly bruised about the head but expects to be about in a few days again.

The Delta county delegates who at.
tended the populist representative con.
vention at Olathe unite in saying that
Chairman Fairlamb made no promises
there which he did not fill. Their delega.
tion agreed to support any candidate
upon whom the Montrose county dele
gates might all unite but as they failed
to agree on anyone they cast their vote
for the candidate whom they considered
best qualified for the position. We make
this statement on behalf OF Mr.. Fairlamb
and the other delegates as they feel
that our Olathe correspondent did them
an injustice in accusing him OF lack OF
truthfulness in connection with their

RELIEF FOR MACEO.
General Maximo Gomez Rapidly Marching
Toward the Trocha.

NEW YORK, May 5.-A Journal special
from Havana says; General Max mo
Gomez's forced marches are bringing him
rapidly forward to the relief of General
Maceo. Gomez has about l5l miles 10
march to the trocha He should reach it
in about ten days when, if the present
programme is carried out, battles will be
fought that will either free Maceo or COM
pei the Cuban forces to continue the poll
icy they have followed since the beginning
of the war Gomez has completed the de
vastation that was far advanced by his
trip in the opposite direction.
Now, there is not a single field of cane
waving in the east and scarcely house
or residence mill or building of any kind
left standing. Ii was reported that the
Cuban junta had received dispatch to
the effect that the steamer Bermuda,
bearing arms and ammunition to the in
surgents, had effected a landing in Cuba.
The report was denied by President

SCOTT JAcksoN,s TRIAL.
Sensational Testimony Given by william
Trusty, "a Railway brakeman.

NEWPORT, KY. May AT the trial OF
Scott Jackson Monday the most sensa'
tional evidence was given by William r.
Trusty of Urbana. Ills. lie was brake
man on the Southern railroad at the time
Of Pearl Bryans murder. He testified to
meeting Emma Evans at 10 o'clock on
the night of the murder They were
joined by an old doctor who was a friend
OF the woman Through these parties
Trusty was employed To drive cab. They
stopped at "a house on George street In he
tenderloin district, where the doctor car
ried the body of "a woman from the house
into the cab. Then they drove across the
Newport bridge and stopped near the
place where Pearl Bryans body was
found the next morning. The OLD man
carried the body across the fence and aft
erwards they drove back to Cincinnati.
Trusty testified that they drove gray
horse and rig similar TO the one that
George jackson described. The old doc
tor, whose name Trusty never learned,
gave him $40 for the job. Trusty after
wards returned to Urbana, His, where he
told the story about this midnight drive
to his father. The witness identified GER
tain letters on cross examination. One was
to Pearl Bryan's father from William i.
| Trusty, the father OF the witness, stating
that Trusty and his son were related to a
detective and that they could solve the
mystery of Pearl Bryan's murder Mr..
| Bryan referred the letters to Mr.. Hayes,
his attorney.
| Mr.. Hayes afterwards received letters
from Trusty soliciting employment for
himself, telling that the defense would
prove that Pearl Bryan died in Cincin'
natl and that he and his son and their
cousin, who is detective, could thwart
| this evidence. The cross examination
also showed that their cousin was John
| Seward, who had considerable experience
in working up testimony The prosecu
| ton presented evidence that William X
| Trusty had been under sentence, and
| sensational evidence was produced about
the father and son and Seward especially
in this case.

presented to the conference written
statement from four women delegates. 1t
looked as though this statement might
solve the perplexed woman question, but
1t did not. Following is part of the
statement:
while we reward ourselves rs laymen
in the full sense Of the term and hold that
the lay electoral conferences are entitled,
under the amendment of 1852, to chose
their delegates, subject only to the re-
strictions therein specified, we are un-
willing to seem to insist upon personal
rights which are in dispute.
"The chief question at issue seems to us
TO arise over the method TO be pursued
upon this.
Honest Differences of Opinion.
1--WE recognize honest differences of
opinions among the most intelligent and
onscientious members. 1t seems to us
that were the conference relieved from
the tension which our presence occasions,
il might speedily devise plan of admis-
sion upon which the great majority of
the members could agree, while we sim
cerely regret to disappoint the chivalrous
champions of woman's eligibility we can
not consent to a protracted debate over our
personal eligibility to this conference,
with the alterations, which we fear such
struggle might cause, when the princi-
pie not easily provoked thinkest no evil
We therefore cheerfully relinquish in
your honorable body and await such a
settlement of long vexed question as
your wisdom may devise, confident that
your action will embody the spirit of the
golden rule We desire to express our APP
probation of the courtesy shown us and
assure you that we shall continue To pray
and labor for the prosperity of our Zion. y
Majority and Minority Reports
The statement was presented by Jane
+. Bashford, Lois 5. Parder and Ada &.
Butcher No sooner had the communica-
ton of the women delegates been offered
than DR.. kynett, chairman of the COM
mittee on eligibility, submitted major
ity re)ort of the committee. Ii briefly
announced that the committee had de-
cided that the women were entitled 20
seats in the convention. Several delegates
arose to defend the report but there was
universal demand for the minor
ity report IL was lengthy
document and was read by Dr. L. b
Ncoly of Philadelphia. 1t found that the
challenge of the eligibility of the women
whose names appear on the roll of the
general conference is sustained and that
the election of women by lay electoral
conference are illegal acts, and that the
claimants would tend TO destroy all re-
spect for that constitution OF the church
and for the decisions and Interpretations
of the general conference.
