"Bat'' Shea Refused a New Trial.

Judge Mayham of New York has denied
the motion for new trial for BAT" Shea,
the convicted murderer Of Robert Ross. His
reason, he said, for so deciding Is that the
confession of McGough was not supported
by his evidence given before the commits
sion appointed by the governor, and as
placed in contradistinction to the evidence
of the witnesses for the people at the trial
was lacking in confirmation in any in
stance He had read the evidence taken
at the trial and had been impressed by the
ract that none of the witnesses, even those
for the defense, had sworn that McGough
committed the crime. Tho fact was ad-
duced that If McGough had been in the po-
sition he claimed to- be at the time of the
shooting, the death wound inflicted upon
Ross would not have been of the nature it
was. The track of the bullet was not ut all
in accord with his story. The weight Of
evidence was largely against McGough's
confession. and the application was denied.
There is no appeal from the decision Of
Judge Mayham, and Shea will be executed
Tuesday next, a reprieve having been
granted until that time by Gov. Morton.

From the Hucksters' Side.

To the Editor of The Evening STAR
AS you have granted space to complaints
against hucksters, 1 hope you will give a
small space for a reply.
1t is an easy thing for people who draw
regular salary from the government 10
complain about being annoyed They have
never had to hustle for living. If they
had they would think differently
II the complaint should succeed in SION
ping hucksters and others from ringing
tfelr bells and yelling in the street. what
would the consequences be? Half of the
pc ople thus employed would have to depend
on the ASsocia ted Charities for a living az
/. is an utter impossibility for nearly / 600
men to procure other employment at this
season of the year. l say 1000 because
there are two or more men on each wagon
The "hawker." as distinguished from the
legitimate huckster, is a public nuisance
and menace and disgrace to the BUSH
ness. He should be driven from the street
He carries nothing but a load of garbage
which he cannot dispose of in daylight
The person who buys from him gets stuck
and stops buying from the street. If his
stock was good he would not dare to veil
the price. Think of apples at 10 cents a
peck at this time of the year, That Is
what some of them are selling at now.
would like to remind the people house.
Keepers especially, that we are well aware
that IT is far from pleasant to be disturbed
SO often during the day by hucksters, ETC.,
and assure them that there is no pleasure
In 1t for u.s. think they should be thank
full for their happy station in life and SYM
pathize with us in ours. If they tell us at
the door that they do not buy off the wap-
ons or that they deal with a certain man
we will not stop at that house again and
1t will only be a short time when all huck-
sters will find that out and pass that house
by, as we have no time to waste and no
desire to call at a house where we know
We cannot make sale. If people treat us
right we will treat them right.
I hope you will find space to spare for
this and also add c kind and good word
for us when you can. A HUCKSTER

The new Manitoba legislature was open
ed yesterday afternoon by Lieut.. Governor
Patterson in the presence of a large as
semblage. The governor, in his opening
speech, said:
AS you are aware, it was deemed wise
to anticipate the time when the legislative
assembly would Rave been dissolved In
The ordinary course in order to afford the
people OF the province an opportunity of
expressing themselves upon the attitude
assumed by the government in relation TO
the pending application of the minority
for a restoration of their former privileges
in regard to education. The result of the
elections leaves no room for doubt that the
attitude of my government is In accord
with the wishes of A very large majority Of
the people of the province.
"A copy of the order in council embody-
ing the views and the policy of my govern
ment upon this question will shortly be
laid before YOU"

An application Of Jerry Scott, colored,
asking the authorities Of Jackson, Mich, to
bury his eight-year-old daughter, whom he
claimed died from natural causes led to an
investigation, which disclosed evidence that
the child had been inhumanly whipped and
then laid on hot stove and roasted. Scott
is in jail. He admits only the whipping.
The public is excluded from seeing the
grewsome corpse, and the Jail is strongly
guarded in fear Of lynching.

Notes.

a bill has been introduced into the Mary
land legislature for the revival of the char
ter of the Baltimore and Drum Point Rail-
road Company, and to authorize the increas Sc
Of it's capital to $3,OO0,OOO. AS originally
chartered, the road was to extend from
Baltimore to Drum Point. ON the Chesapeake
bay. but, after great deal of money was
expended In surveying, grading, etc, 1t was
abandoned 1t is said to be the intention of
the new incorporators If granted the neces-
sary authority. to complete the line upon the
original plans. and to construct branch
line to Washington.
1t is understood that the enterprise is
backed by abundant capital. and that the
promoters are thoroughly in earnest in the
matter.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
secured control of the York Southern rail-
road, which Is an outlet of the Baltimore
and Lehlgh narroW-gauge from Baltimore
into one Of the richest portions of southern
PENNSYLVANIA and it is thought that this
will interfere materially with some of the
plans or the Baltimore and Ohio. An ar
rangement was entered into several years
ago for the changing of the Baltimore and
Lehigh into a standard-gauge line, so that
the cars OF that road and the Baltimore and
ONO could be run on each others tracks,
and it has always been understood that the
project was backed by the Baltimore and
Ohio, some of the leading officials of the
latter road being directors of the Baltimore
and Leh1gh, but the plan has not been car
ried into effect on account of the financial
panic from which the country is now re-
covering. The control of the Baltimore and
Lehigh and York Southern, and their chang
ing INTO Standard-gauge lines would have
given the Baltimore and Ohio a most i'm
portant connection with the Reading road
near Harrisburg, and entrance into that
city. and given them the opportunity to
compete for an immense coal traffic, from
which they are now almost entirely ex-
cluded. II e

THE x RAY.

Several Important Discoveries Made In
Connection with 1t by stephen Emmena
New YORK, March 1s.-Several inn
portant discoveries have been made in
connection with X rays by Stephen
Emmens, of this city, who claims to
have succeeded in obtaining the rays
from the ordinary sunbeam, and has
taken excellent pictures Herewith. He
has ALSO he believes, succeeded in re-
flccting the rays, which heretofore have
been considered impossible of reflec.
ton. DR.. Emmens has found what he
believes to be the X rays in absolute
darkness, and has caught its effect on
a sensitive plate. His experiments
convince him that the X ray is as uni
versal as gravitation itself, that there
Is correlation between it and all
other forms of radiant energy, and
that it may be changed under proper
conditions into those of other forms

the Presidential Nomination.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 1S.-Beports
were in circulation at the state capitol
yesterday that there is a possibility
that Gov. Morton may Withdraw from
the contest for the presidential nomi-
nation. He said positively last Deem
Der that he would not allow his name
to be presented at the national eOnven-
ton unless the delegation from his
state was unanimous in supporting
him. Since the development Of the
strong Mckinley sentiment in the
western section Of the state, It hiss be-
come apparent that the delegation
cannot be kept solid for Morton, al
though Mr.. Platt and his lieutenants
have been working hard to obtain this
result In such an event it Is believed
by some that the governor will carry
out the intention he so positively ex-
pressed and withdraw from the field

PEORIA, ILL.,, March 49, = Between
midnight and two o'clock this morning
five alarms of FIRE were turned in. The
first fire was in the Hutchinson cooper
age works, the largest plant Of the
kind in the city 1t started near the
engine room and had secured consider
able Roadway when discovered. The
rear portion Of the building was badly
damaged. The watchman says he
was all through that portion of
the building only a short time
before the fire and everything
was then safe and secure. No estimate
Of loss could be given, but it Is covered
by insurance. The engines had scarce
ly returned to their quarters when two
alarms called them to the Manhattan
distillery, where an immense hay
stack was In flames and threat
ened destruction to the dis
tillery. The hay is all baled. The
firemen had just got the better
of this FIRE when, few blocks away
from them, the cooperage works of
MGdigan, Walsh & Co. caught fro and
two more alarms came in rapid sue
cession. The fire had big start before
discovery, and the forces had to be
divided. The cooperage works were
practically destroyed. Nothing is
known as to the origin here, but It pre-
sumed to have been incendiary with the
rest. No estimates of the losses have
been made yet The police protection
in the vicinity of the fire has been In
creased and extra precautions have
been taken to guard against further
fires At 9;45 a. m. the flames from the
Madigan, Walsh & Co. plant communi-
Gated to the Peoria white lead works
to the north. This was large three
story building and the fire was in The
roof. The loss there was $40, 900.
