clauses under consideration were then
adopted in their entirety by the same ma
jority. Sir William Harcourt, leader of
the opposition, at o'clock this morning
protested against Mr.. Balfour's high

had been the sinister feature in the con-
duct of business in the house since the
opening of the session. This declaration
was received with cheers by the oppos-
ton, and caused great uproar among
the ministerial members.

EDUCATION.
Excerpts From the Fifteenth Annual Re-
port of the Society,

Excerpts From the Fifteenth Annual Re-
port of the Society,
A leading feature of the morning ses-
sion was the fifteenth annual report of
the Educational society. Rev. w. j. Dar-
by of Evansville, Ind, Is the secretary
and treasurer of this society. The subject
of education Is a very important one in
the Cumberland Presbyterian church, as
this report shows. The growth of senti-
ment in favor of an educated ministry
is most encouraging. During the past
year assistance has been rendered to 140
young men. The theological seminary is
doing great good. The report says: "The
greater part of the work done by the Ed
ucational society cannot be made to ap-
pear in any financial statement. How
ever your reverend body and the whole
church will doubtless be glad to know
that our books show total contributions
of $12 $50. As to the cause of education dur
ing the year. This is gain of $246S. II
over the amount reported last year"
Following is the summary:
Number of probationers, 593; number
reported In school, 1879; number reported

d trial for bail before justice of the

h trial for bail before justice of the
peace.
Mr.. White then proceeded to discuss the
theory of insanity and held that under
the decisions of the supreme court of
Alabama the defense had not proven its
theory of insanity. He held that the
alleged threats of Percy Wood, made sew
eral weeks before the killing, had no
bearing on this case. These threats, he
held, if the killing had occurred in Selma
at once might be introduced; but thirty
or forty days elapsed and the shooting
occurred in Montgomery, far away from
the home of the parties. If Mr.. Kennedy
wished to avenge himself on Percy Wood
he had ample opportunity in Selma.
Why not take advantage of these occa-
sions?
In conclusion Mr.. White reviewed the
testimony of the witnesses for the state
as to the condition of the mind of Mr..
Kennedy, and he contended that all the
causes testified to would produce the
effects without the subject being insane.
He claimed that in all these times Ken
nedy was hugging revenge, and In his
frenzy he killed Percy Wood and shot
Mardis Wood. Mr.. White closed his
speech at rs p. m.
Defendant Discharged. =
The court stated that he had gre y
sympathy for Percy Wood and all v =
suffer for him. He believed that the
iiSt siiot ST. uCh feicy "oou. DeHeNih5
that the great strain had overbalanced
the mind of the defendant, and taking
the theory of the prosecution that the
defendant should be remanded without
bail or discharged he felt that he must
discharge the defendant.
The decision was received with great
cheering by the audience.
The defendant and his attorneys We're
warmly congratulated by the friends of
the defendant present.
Mr.. Kennedy will return to Selma to-
night

COOKING PLEADED mot GUILTY"
A Large Crowd Wanted to See Him, but
Were Disappointed.


LaPlata, Nd, May 22.--Joseph Cooking,
indicted on the charge of killing his wife
and sister-in-law at Hilltop. ten miles
from here, April %, was arralgned in
court this morning and pleaded mot
guilty" A large crowd assembled to see
the prisoner on arrival of the Baltimore
train last night but Sheriff Wade took
the precaution of alighting at another
station and driving his charge to jail
while the crowd remained at the depot
The prisoner seemed greatly relieved
when he was safely lodged in a cell
guarded by two deputy sheriffs. The
jail Is a dilapidated structure and could
easily be broken into by band of men
SO disposed, and 1t was because of this
fact that Cooking was taken to Baltimore
for safe keeping Immediately after the
double murder. However. there appears
to be no disposition to take advantage or
the tails weakness. While there are
a large number Of persons here who
have no doubt of the guilt of the accus-
ed the lychng spirit so manifest at the
time OF the horror has died out. and there
appears to be an entire willingness to
give the accused man a fair and impair
tial trial. 4
