The case of the State vs.. j. b.
Gaines was tried Tuesday and We'd
nesday, before jury composed OF N,
Sitter of Sumner W. M. Peck OF
Freedom, j. j. Pool of Long Island,
Fl. Ferguson Of Dayton, g. W. Baum
of Phillipsburg, A. A, billiard Of Ar
cade, M. Peugh of Valley, J. Il; Edam
of Logan, Il. Il. Gates of Phillips
burg, II. Fl. Rumble of Logan, and e.
e. Bralnerd OF PhIlllpsburg. In this
case Mr. Games is charged with the
crime of committing rape upon the
person of EfIie 2. White, girl of
thirteen. The state presented its
witnesses, father, mother, and daugh.
ter, whose testimony was supported
by Drs. Wallace and Robertson.
The defense had four witnesses, faith
er, mother, daughter, and nephew.
The accused is the uncle of the per-
son upon whom the crime was COM
mitted. The state was represented
by w. III. Pratt, county attorney, and
Lewis Il Mahln, and the defense by
N. b. Mccormick. The jury could
not agree and was discharged at 10
o'clock this morning. The case pre-
sents many peculiar and perplexing
features, but was handled by the at
torneys in the best possible manner.
With children as witnesses, cases of
this character must be conducted with
the utmost delicacy, and this Was
done in this case. The jury gave the
various points due weight, but could
do no better than to vote eight for
acquittal and four for con vlction.
The case goes over to the next term,
and the defendants bail has been re-
duced to $500, which amount of bond
he can proba bly, give.

Tho Mckinley OpnosItIon.

st. Louis, June 12.-The movements
OF the men who are opposed to McKin-
ley have been very quiet. but IL Is un-
derstood that since the arrival OF Mr..
Quay to-day there has been a confer
ence OF men representing the different
candidates, thase present being Platt
for Morton. Quay for himself. Hender-
son for Allison, and an eastern man
representing Reed. 1t was understood
the conference was not with any hope
OF defeating the nomination OF McKln-
ley, because Quay and Manley have al
ready conceded the nomination OF the
Ohio man on the first ballot. but that Il
was proposed to prepare q platform on
the money question which was to be
insisted upon at all hazards and to give
Il to the Mckinley men as one of the
demands Of the opposition. II was un-
derstood that the declaration was to
be unequivocally for gold.
In this connection II Is said the dso-
laration will be so pronounced that II
will not be acceptable to the great
Middle West, which is here sohd for
Mckinley. and may precipitate a fight.
This Is one OF the many stories that
were In circulation. indicating that the
arrival OF Platt and Quay made the op-
position more formidable than was sup
posed. As the Mckinley men here are,
for the most part. talking In favor OF a
strong declaration in favor OF gold.
they say there cannot be very much dif-
fculty In adjusting a financial plank to
suit the men who will vote for the
other four candidates.
