A WoMAN's BLuNDER.
She Perjures Herself to Save Her Attor.
ney, But He. Is Convicted.

neys but ne. ls touNicteu.
Following the conclusion of the suit
of the U United States against j. S. Phil.
lips in the United States circuit court
Thursday, Judge Taft adjourned the
court and sat as examining magistrate
to receive two new affidavits for per-
jury, one against Phillips and the other
against Katherine Hum phreys, who
had testified in his behalf. Phillips
was charged with sending an obscene
letter through the mails.
katherine lives at Beverly, village
IN Washington county. Thomas JEFF
ferson Smith lives nearby, in the ad-
Joining county of Morgan. Katherine
and Thomas conceived an affection for
each other and for a time were the
most devoted of lovers. But after a
while Thomas grew weary of his choice
and finally ceased his attentions to
katherine. The case grew out of Kath-
crimes attempt to punish Thomas for
his recreancy, a full account of which
was published in Thursdays State
Journal
Katherine was present in court to
testify for Phillips. She said that Phil
lips had not written the copy that had
been mailed to Thomas's attorney, but
that she had written it herself, this
evidently with the view of relieving
Phillips from responsibility for the Of
fense. 1t is strange that she did not
know that in swearing she wrote the
copy mailed to Thomass attorney she
placed herself liable FOR prosecution on
the same ground as Phillips, but il
seems she did not and she stoutly main
tanned that Phillips had not written it.
The jury brought in verdict against
Phillips Notwithstanding Katherine's
efforts to save him from imprisonment,
and he was sentenced to serve seven
months in the Cincinnati work house
and to pay the costs of prosecution.
The evidence given by Katherine and
Phillips was so apparently perjury that
Inspector Betz fled two new atfidavits
against them while the jury were de-
Gliding upon a verdict, one charging
Phillips with subornation of perjury
and Katherine with perjury. Judge
Taft, after imposing sentence upon
Phillips, adjourned court and sat as
examining magistrate to pass upon the
atfidavits, an almost unprecedented pro-
ceedng. Katherine and Phillips were
both greatly surprised at the unexpect-
ed turn of fairs, and more so when
they were both bound over to the grand
jury Neither was able to furnish
bond. Katherine was removed to the
Marietta Jail and Phillips was taken to
Cincinnati to serve out his sentence
upon the original charge, and to wait
the prosecution of the charge of per-
jury when court convenes next winter.

BISHOP FowLER's LECTURE.

Bishop Charles II. Fowler, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered
his famous lecture in the Auditorium
last evening to an appreciative audi
ence. on the Life of Abraham Lin
coin" The lecture was for the benefit
OF Goodman, Epworth, Wesley and
Kingswood M. e. Churches, and was re-
ceived with marked interest. The re-
ceipts from the lecture will greatly help
the churches named. The lecture was
vastly interesting from start to finish.
Bishop Fowler described the public and
private life of Lincoln, and brought out
many points of interest in his political
career which are not generally known.
In speaking of Mr.. Lincoln's speeches
he held that there was but one Ameri-
can speech, that of Daniel Webster in
reply to the defence of South Carolina,
which could rank with the speech Of
Mr.. Lincoln at Gettysburg. He also
spoke Of the diplomatic letters which
Lincoln wrote and of the emancipation
proclamation which he considered for
ability and expression, ranked with the
Magma Charta and the Declaration OF
Independence. He also spoke of the
warm heart and kindly nature of Mr..
Lincoln. Bishop Fowler, while in this
city, was entertained by Rev. Ezra Tin
ker, Of Asbury NJ r. Church, and was
introduced by Presiding Elder l.. E.
Barrett

ABLE INSURANCE GAME ON

WILMINGTONIANS.


ABOUT A HUNDRED CONFIDING
WILMINGTONIANS.
The insurance firm Of w. S. Hoffman
& Co., Of this city, has been made the
victim OF a clever insurance swindler,
and there are others in town who would
like to have second interview with
him.
A man called at the insurance Office
and gave the name of George l.. Bel
lows, representing himself to be in the
insurance business. He offered his SER
vices to the firm as soliciting agent
but wanted salary. He was politely
informed they were not paying salaries,
but working their agents on straight
commissions. Bellows then went Ia
Baltimore and a week later returned
and stated he was going to try his hand
and see what insurance was to be hal
in Delaware. He went away and re.
turned again with an accident circular
and asked the firm to purchase ten poll
cies, which was done, and ten addi-
tional ones were also purchased. After
dispOsing of the same the firm con-
cluded not to have anything to do with
Mr.. Bellows under any consideration
as its suspicious were aroused.
Later On a well-known business man
called on Mr.. Hoffman, one Of the firm
and was shown a receipt OF 81 for a
policy of insurance with the firms
name signed thereto, which was imme-
diately pronounced a forgery, as the
firm allows no one to sign its name out
side of the confidential clerk in the Of
fee. Since then the firm has been be-
sieged by a large number of business
men with the same kind OF receipts
which are in the ordinary form of a
stationer's printed receipt.
Mr. Hoffman, or his clerk informs all
corners that they have been swindlet
and the firm wants Mr.. Bellows if nc
can be found, to answer the charge OF
forgery. He left Wilmington for the
last time about two weeks ago. Magls-

OYER THE FENCE AND OUT.
CONSTABLE CHASES A MAN, BUT
THE PURSUED MADE A HURDLE
LEAP AND WON.


The employees Of the Pullman Palace
Car Works, situated over Eleventh
street bridge, witnessed a laughable
spectacle yesterday afternoon which
turned the immense car yard into a
race course. 1t was foot race be-
tween county constable and man
employed at the works.
Annie Walls, a pretty black-eyed
girl, appeared before Magistrate Kelley
and entered complaint against George
Mcmahon, whom she charged with bas-
tardy. A warrant was sworn out foI
his arrest and put in the hands Of Con-
stable Green.
The officer armed himself with the
document of the law and went to the
Pullman works, where the accused was
employed. He applied at the office for
admission. The request was granted
and Mcmahon was summoned. He ask
ed the constable to allow him time tc
divest himself Of his working clothes
and the officer acquiesced, and Nc
Mahon entered a small room to don hie
street apparel. When he had made
ready to accompany Green. McMahon
informed the officer that he could not
pass cut OF the yard without a check
given to the Pullman employees when
going to and from work Mcmahon was
allowed to go to the office for the
check, but he overstayed his time, and
the officer became suspicious. AS he
emerged from the office door he caught
sight of his prisoner fleeing down the
yard and gave chase. At the end of the
yard is a high fence, and when this
loomed up before the pursuer h,
thought he had his man sure. But
with Almighty leap, Mcmahon cleared the
fence and escaped. leaving the consta-
bic standing aghast.

HENRY GEORGE DEAD.
Candidate for Mayor of New
York Dies Suddenly.
HIS PARTY MAY SUPPORT Low

GREAT SINGLE TAXER RETIRED
IN HIS USUAL HEALTH. BUT
FOUND DYING AT 8 O'CLOCK
THIS MORNING--APOPLEXY THE
CAUSE.
New York, Oct 29.-Henry George.
the great Single Taxer, died OF apoplexy
in his room at the Union Square Hotel
at o'clock this morning He retired
last night apparently well During the
nAght his family heard him moaning
and found him in an unconscious con-
dition. All that medical science could
do to restore him proved unavailng,
and he died without recovering con
sciousness.
This complicates the political situa-
tlon in New York, for Mr.. George was
the mayoralty candidate on the ticket
Of the Jeffersonian Democrats, and it is
doubtful whether any man can keep his
great following in line.
WILL SUPPORT LOW.
New York. Oct. 29.-Willis J. Alb
bott chairman Of The Henry George
executive committee. at 70 O'Clock TO-
day announced that the committee

death. In 1879 he published Progress
and Poverty" work which attracted
much attention. In 1881 he published
THE Irish Land Question" Later, he
made severel visits to Great Brian and
Ireland where, in many speeches, he
set forth his peculiar doctrines. In 1886
he was nominated by the Labor party
OF New York city for mayor, and re-
ceived nearly 10000 votes.
The Democratic candidate was elected

cial Problems, Protection and Free

last Winter he addressed a large au-
/ dience on the Single Tax question In
