CANNOT SEE IT.
From the American Baptist.)

Will President L. I. Fortune
and Chairman, Mr. w. II Steward,
please inform the Press gang by
what authority they removed the
meeting of the Press Association
from New York City to st. Louis ?
This inquiry would have been peril
nent and proper had it not had "With-
out Authority" as head line which vir-
tually answers itself. But for the in
formation of Bro. Chase we would say
that the Press Association adjourned in
Baltimore to hold a special session in
Atlanta and at this special session the
Association agreed to meet in Nash
vile during the Centennial this sum-
mer instead of New York. The Cen
tennial was subsequently postponed
and this necessitated another change.
The Executive Committee then decided
to hold the meeting in St. Louis upon
Invitation of the Press Of that city. We
hope that this Will be satisfactory to
Bro. Chase and that he will see the
regularity and propriety of the change.
We must confess that we cannot
see it as our contemporary sees it
The constituti IN doesn't give the
Executive Committee any power to
change the meetings of the Press
Association.
The authority of that Committee
is subordinate to the association.
Editor Fortune, at the opening
of the meeting at st. Louis decided
that the association could 60 into
the election of officers, which would
be in gross violation of the consti-
tuition governing the association.
The Chairman of the Executive
Committee is wrong.

stock was on the increase, so was
Speaker Reed gaining ground. But
the great political apostle, Hon. Mark
Hanna held his forces. He is the
greatest organizer in the world.
There was the great Platt, the cum
ming Quay, and the honest Manley.
Some may say that Hon. Joseph Man
ley was untrue to Mr.. Reed. No one
at St. Louis doubted the honesty and
sincerity of Mr. Manley. On every
housetop, in the kitchen, on the beer
glasses, on the neck-tieS, dogs and cats,
on every banner, the fans the ladies
carried, the Newspapers, every re-
porter, and the babies IN the carriage
were crying Mckinley Mckinley
Ought we to be surprised at Mr.. Man

gates who didn't cry Mckinley. If
you ask for lemonade, you would be

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The recent convention at st.
Louis, Mo-, was not electrofed with
the enthusiasm and good feeling
that always could be found at for
mer conventions held by repabli-
cans.
1t was all one way and if there
was any enthusiasm it was among
the Mckinley delegates.
Senator Teller made a great
speech, and whether the people in
the Convention agreed with him or
not, he was enthusiastically ap-
plauded while delivering his speech.

IN THE SCOTT JACKSON TRIAL
W . BEHEADED WHILE YET ALIVE

Cincinnati, April 22.-The second day
or Scott Jaekson's trial for the murder of
Pearl Bryan began by a statement from
the commemorative attorney that Coro-
ner Tingley would be placed on the stand
once more. There was a delay of several
MINUTES while messenger was sent af-
ter the bloody dress under clothing and
other articles found with the hacked body
at Fort Thomas During this lull In the
proceedings the prisoner sat talking with
his brother-n-law, Edwin Post of Depaw
university, who appeared in the court
room for the first time. At 9:55 o'clock
the side door was opened, and members
of the Bryan family-first the sons, then
the gray-haired father and mother-were
brought into the room.
They had hardly been seated when
Deputy Sheriff Hindman brought into
the court and placed in front of the wit
ness stand lay figure dressed in the
wrapper that Pearl Bryan wore at the
time of her death. The garment was a
grewsome sight, covered as it was in part
with mud and blood. The officer placed
the figure erect, under Attorney Locked
hart's directions, and retired. Attorney
Crawford, for the defense, objected to the
exhibition as highly reprehensible. and
was sustained by the court The figure
was then removed and the dress thrown
on the table.
Coroner Tingley concluded his testi-
mony in about ten minutes He identl-
fled all the clothing of the murdered girl,
which had In the meantime been placed
on the table. 1t consisted of a wrapper,
with small blue check figures navy blue
underskirt, suit of union underwear,
black stockings shoes and rubbers,
gloves and hair pins. Four valises were
put on exhibition.
The parents of the murdered girl wept
at the sight of the clothes.
Mrs. Mabel Stanley of Green Castle.
sister of Pearl Ryan, was the second wit
ness She identified the clothing on the
table as having belonged to Pearl.
Upon being questioned If she knew
Scott Jackson, she replied:
II know Scott Jackson only from see
ing him twice on the street."
She recognized in the prisoner Scott
Jackson after which she was excused
and Joseph E. Pearcy, a druggist OF
Green Castle, was called to the witness
stand. He testified that the pocketbook
found in Scott Jacksons vallse was the
one he had sold Pearl Bryan January 23.
The most sensational testimony was
that of DR.. Robert Caruthers, who con-
Quoted the post mortem. He stated that
in his opinion the girl was beheaded
while yet alive.

BIG BANK FAILURE.
A Run Was Made on Another Bank, Which
Stood the Strain.


Denver, Col, April 22.-The American
National bank failed to open its doors
this morning, notice being posted on
the window that "By order of the direct
ors the bank is in the hands of the gov
ernment." Bank Examiner Hillo took
charge.
The event caused much excitement,
and run was al once preciptated on the
National Bank of Commerce, crowd of
clamorous depositors gathering soon af-
ter 10 O'Clock. The bank stood the drain,
and at noon had paid every check pre-
sented. 1t Is understood that the assocf-
ated banks will aid the National Bank of
Commerce should 1t be necessary. The
failure of the American was not unex-
pected In banking circles. One by one its
leading financial hackers have been drop
ping out, and financiers knew that the
failure was inevitable.
At the meeting of the associated banks,
held in he First National parlors last
nigh, proffers to assist the failed con-
Germ were made provided the directors
would do their part. This being refused,
the American closed.
The failure and the run caused intense
excitement throughout the city, and large
crowds gathered about the two banking
houses involved. AS the Bank of Com
merce continued to pay off steadily, the
excitement began to subsde Nothing
unusual occurred at the other banks.
At 1890 O'Clock the run on the Bank
of Commerce ended, after two-thirds OF
the depositors had withdrawn their
funds.
A public meeting has been called by
the angry depositors of the American Ma
tional to protest against the alleged rot
tenness of the institution.

Sheriff Alex Campbell of Hartselle, Ala,
reports that a large pond near the town
disappeared by sinking into the ground
on last Sabbath. The pond was located
in broken spur Of Sand mountain,
which at this point is of old limestone
forma ton. Early in the day residents
living along Village creek, which flows
out of gorge amongst the hills OF that
locality, noticed a rapid swelling of the
stream, and on tracing the miniature
flood found it issuing from an opening in
the rock at the head of deep raV1ne
People living in the locality now recall
the fact that only a few years ago poIe

road track which runs within a few
yards of the sunken pond, sank several
feet, its repair causing some hours of de-
lay to trains on that road. The pond

FRUIT CROP RUINED.
Heavy Frosts in California Have Killed
Two-Thirds of the Crop

San Francisco, April 22.-The frbsts of
the last ten days were uncommonly Sc
we're. From all parts of the fruit sections
have come reports that the crops were
much hurt, partly ruined or wholly de-
stroyed. The only crumb of encourage
ment to be picked up by the fruit men
so far is the fact that predictions almost
as bad have been made in previous years
and when the harvest came in proved
to have been greatly exaggerated. The
worst feature of this untimely visitation,
however, exists in the belief on the part
of the leading commission dealers that
the reports from different parts of the
state have been underrated rather than
overdrawn All the early fruit will be
almost dead failure, and peaches, april

association held in Muncie and Pitts
burg yesterday II was decided to close
$50 of the 1892 pots under their control
on May 1, or one month earlier than de-
cded at last weeks meeting In Indian
apolis. This means one month more idle
less for 1900 hands. The sensation of the
meeting was caused by the blowers

do not consent to return to work at once
every factory both east and west will be
closed Immediately, and 10000 hands

PENSION BILLS VETOED.
The President Sends Two Bills Back to the
Senate.


Senate.
Washington, April 22.-Two pension
bills were returned to the senate today
by the president without his signature.
The first is that giving a pension of $50
per month to Nancy G. Allabach, the
widow of Peter A. Allabach, late colonel
of the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth
State Pennsylvania Volunteers, who also
served in the war with Mexico. The pres
dent takes the ground that as Mrs ALA
bach had already been pensioned under
the Mexican law at a lower rate, and her
case was likewise provided for under the
dependent pension law of 1890, it would
be creating a precedent under which 1t
would be difficult to refuse similar privi-
leges to many thousands of widows in a
similar situa ton. The other bill to meet
the executive disapproval grants a pen
sion to Charles e. Jones, late pho
tographer of the Eleventh Pennsylvania
Volunteer cavalry. The evidence showed
that he was wounded while taking photo
graphs but as he was not enlisted in or
connected with the military service of
the government, it seems to the president
that the extension of pension relief to
such cases would open the door to legis-
lation hard to justify and impossible to
restrain from abuse.
