NO NEW TRIAL FOR DAVIS.
NcbraslSn Supreme Court Denies the
Petition of the Lincoln, Neb.,
Train Srecker.

Lincoln. Neb., April 22.-The supreme
court to-day handed down decision deny
ing a new trial to George w. Davis. Davis
was convicted of wrecking, near Lincoln,
two years ago. a Rock Island train where
by eleven persons were killed, and was sent
to the penitentiary for life. Five months
ago Attorney General Churchill declared
the law under which he was convicted un-
constitutional. The court overrules the con-
tention of the attorney general. The decis-
ion will have an important bearing on nu-
merous damage suits instituted against the
Rock Island as it is claimed the conviction
of Davis will relieve the road from respon-
sibiity for the accident.

CONGER IN EARNEST.
HE FEELS THAT THE DUTY OF
REPUBLICANS Is PLAIN.
BY All Means Hanna shouid he De-
fsated. That Blot May Not Re
main on the Party In Ohio
His Letter.

Akron, Oct. 26.-(Special.) - Col. A. l..
Conger has written another letter that
will make the Hannaltes more uneasy
than ever. His appeal to the friends of
bis name implies is a startling exhibit
ton Of independence, coming rs it does
from a man who has stood high in the
ranks of the Republican party for thirty
years. Col. Conger opens his lett'r by
declaring that while Major Mckinley is
highly esteemed there is no use disguis-
Ing the fact that Mr.. Hanna Is really the
president so far as debating our ma
tional Legislative policy is concerned. The
Colonel then gives some facts from per-
sonal knowledge in illustration. He says
that he was interested in the mapufac-
ture Of tin plate, plate glass, wind w
glass, steel foTRings and agricultural i'm
plements and supplies, and knows from
personal knowledge what duty was re-
quired to compete with foreign manufac-
turers. He says that Hanna made bid
for the influence Of the tin plate manu-
at the st. Louis convention by promising
that if McKipley vas nominated and
elected a neT tariff bill would be passed
and the duty restored on tin plate. And
this in face Of the fact that the duty on
tin plate which had been S2.20 per box
under the Mckinley law, and had been
reduced to Sl05 under the Wilson bill,
and which was then receiving more pro-
lection than was really required to bring
the entire industry to this country. He.
then goes in to the fat-frying process Of
the Mckinley manager and makes the
bold assertion that the tin plate manufac-
tuters of the United States will be able
to clear yearly over SIS, 900, 900 by reason
Of the Dingley tariff and can and will
contribute S5,OOO,OOO to Hanra's sup
rort and still lave profit of more than
1000, 600 annually to divide among the
members of the tin Plate trust. Col Con
gers letter is addressed to the indepen-
dent Republicans of Ohio. He appeals
to them to overthrow the Hanna ele-
ment in the party and throw their votes
diIecty to the nominees Of TIE Demu-
cratic Representatives and senators. He
closes with t1is terse sentence: "Re-
meu Der the insolts heaptd upon Fora.
ker and his friends, and vote to put down
Hannaism."
The lettar does cot seem to be written
in vindictye S sfirit but rather in a
dispassionate and argun entative ore. IT.
cannot fail to have great weight with
Republic ans who are not q accord with
the Hanna policy in conducting the
affairs of the oIgar ization.
