KINGSTON ALL UPSET.
Two Hundred OF Her Best Citizens Called On 70
Tell what They Drank on sunday.

KINGSTON. June s.-Seldom in the history of
this town have the people been stirred as they
were to-day by the subpGnaing OF 200 OF the
best-known citizens to appear before the Grand
Jury tomorrow to swear whether they drank
beer at Kingston Point on last Sunday or not.
Kingston Point Is the place where tho British
landed 100 years ago and set fire TO the houses
in the stockade. The place had been dormant
until a year ago. when the Ulster and Delaware
Railroad built n trestle and dock, at which
the Albany day line boats landed passengers.
Since then a large hotel has been built
by the Jacob Hoffman, Brewing Company of
New York on a lot adjoining the Point. Sunday
being a pleasant day. the hotel was visited by
several thousand persons, among whom were
Excise Agent Benton and half a dozen police
men. They watched the beer drinkers, and the
result Is the subprnas.
Among those who have been notified to tell
what they drank were n dozen city officials,
several county officials, twenty merchants. as
many church members, and an agent for a
security company that is on the bonds OF nine
tenths Of the liquor sellers OF the county.
Half a dozen Deputy Sheriffs were busy to-day
serving the subpenas, and business In the city
has been virtually suspended because those who
have been notified were kept busy telling Of the
outrage" which tho Raines law had inflicted
on them.

HELD UP IN A pACANr HOUSE.
Real Estate Agent Martin says he was Hound
and Robbed By Two Men.

George Martin, AZ years old. a real estate
dealer, of l16 Lawrence street, Brooklyn, who
Is agent for a number of houses in the vicinity
Of his home, was passing the frame house ut
ll5 Lawrence street. which Is In his charge, at
$3.50 o'clock last night, whom he noticed a light
In the front parlor.
The house is unoccupied save for tho fact that
Thomas Kane, a Waterman employed by Martin,
has been sleeping in the parlor. Martin rang
the bell. and the door was opened by Kane.
Martin asked him what ho had the light there
for, and walked into the parlor, followed BY the
Waterman.
When he got In there Martin says Kane
grabbed him by tho throat and another tall man
appeared and grnspod his arms. pinning them
behind his back.
He said he was grabbed so quickly that he
could neither cry out nor do anything to defend
himself. He was thrown to the floor and a Pill.
low thrown over his head. His hands and feet
were then bound and Kane and tho other man
searched his pockets.
They robbed him OF $3.50 in cash. jewels worth
$l20. checks aggregating Sl33, and after taking
everything he had ran out leaving him alone.
He says he worked for half an hour getting his
bonds loose. and finally succeeded.
He then went to his home, cleaned himself up,
and went to the Adams street police station to
report the case to Capt. Miles O'Reilly. The
police sent out q general alarm for Kane and the
other man.
Martin was unable to give q good description
OF either the tall man or Kane, except that Kane
was about ~ years old. He said that ho en-
ployed Kane six months ago as n Waterman.
Kane said he came from Boston. Martin
thinks the robbery was a carefully planned one,
for q week ago he entered the house and the
Waterman made n similar attack on him, but
for some reason or othor did not follow It up.
He struck Martin in tho eye and then said
that he had made a mistake and thought that
Martin was somebody else.
Martin thought this quite natural, as 1t was
dark in the hall. and did not discharge the man.
The police were busy trying to find Kane and
the other man at a late hour last night.

OF the facts In connection with his report be
given out by the State department officials.
Mr.. Calhoun said he had no idea what the
President would do toward recognizing the in.
dependence Of the Cubans. He. intimated that
the President had not made up his mind.
Mr.. Calhoun said there was not so much suffer
ing in Cuba as had been reported in tho press.
1t was true, he said, that people owning farms.
who were compelled to desert them and take
refuge In the. cities, were suffering, but they were
about the only destitute class.
He said that the work of the American Con-
suls in distributing relief among Americana was
progressing rapidly. He thought the 100000
appropriated by Congress would be sufficient to
relieve all destitute cases. In speaking Of the
treatment accorded him by the Spanish officials
he said:
II was shown great consideration. and was
received with the utmost courtesy by every one
on the island. SO far as know there were no

ER JONES Gets 8 10 YEARS
.. This VIII XIII Them Roth." re says or the
Two Women He WronEed.


Latimer E. Jones. the forger. who was brought
back from England in March last and pleaded
guilty to one OF eighteen indictments for forgery
found against him In this city In 1888, was SEN
fenced to five years and six months imprison-
ment yesterday by Judge Fitzgerald in Part l.,
General Sessions.
The devotion of two injured women to this
famous rogue Ia a feature OF the case. His wife,
Blanche Colwell. daughter OF the head Of the
Colwell Lead Company. sacrificed $7o,0OO OF her
own money to pay some OF his creditors before
he ran away to South America. He stopped
writing to her after a WHILE, sneaked back to
this country, and committed biRamy at Albany
by marrying Mrs. Ellen Andrew there In 1892.
Mrs. Andrew was a rich Englishwoman whom
he had met at Buenos Ayres, and he went TO
England with her and lived as q country gentle
when she heard OF this marriage.
Since Jones has been in tho Tombs the two
women have taken turns visiting him. The sec
ond wife Is now stopping at tho Majestic Hotel.
Yesterday afternoon she called up the District
Attorneys office on the telephone and asked II
Jones had been arraigned In court; She was In
formed that he had been sentenced.
What was the sentence o. she asked.
Five years and six months In State prison."
YVES the answer.
Then she was heard sobbing at the other end
OF the wire. After the sentence Jones said:
This Is terrible. did not expect to get moro
than a year. l do not care so much for myself,
and are to be pitied. Both have been wrongod, I
admit, but | married my second wife under the
belief that my first wife had obtained a divorce

state Treasurer hartley.

OMAHA. juno s.-When Judge Baker asked
County Attorney Baldridge. In court to-day, II
he was ready to proceed with the case of the
State against ex-State Treasurer BARLEY, who Is
accused OF stealing 100000 D. Of the State funds.
Mr.. Baldridge said:
"It has come TO the knowledge of counsel for
the State that members Of the present jury panel
have been approached by certain persons with q
view to influencing their verdict In this case.
All the State asks Is a fair trial. but we do not
propose TO be embarrassed and have the cause
OF Justice impeded by improper and undue In
huence brought to bear upon prospective Jurors"
III you have such. information against any
specific individual" said Judge Baker, II In
struct you to file at once any information
into this court"
Mr.. Baldridge drew up an information charg-
ing a man named Wright, first name unknown,
with contempt of court In attempting TO infu-
encc a member OF the jury panel. The county
attorney refused to divulge tho name OF the
juryman who had been approached, but said
that Wright had asked the juryman TO vote for
acquittal and TO work for a verdict OF that
kind. large sums OF money were offered.
Wright is said to be a resident of Omaha. He
has been hanging about the Court House for
some time.
1t is said that several arrests will be made to-
morrow. 1t Is no secret that large sums OF tho
stolen money were loaned by BARLEY 10 Nebraska
politicians, and as the State law makes those
who borrow public money equally guilty with
the defaulter. these persons are greatly inter
ested In Bartley's defence.

ROCKEFELLER VILE HIT.
They Mean to Have Their Tarrytown Assess
ments Reviewed By the Courts.

uathhh " ~ u "
TARRYrowN. N. Y. June Son complaint Of
John D. and William Rockefeller. Justice Dyke
man OF the Supreme Court at White Plains to-
day issued a writ Of certiorari against George
Sinnott and others, assessors for the village Of
North Tarrytown. The Rockefellers were repre-
sented by Howard II. Morse.
Tho cause of the proceeding Is the new law,
which says that all property, personal and real,
must be assessed at its full value. John D.. and
William Rockefeller do not live in the corporate
limits of North Tarrytown. but do own real
estate inside of the line.
' When the assessors were making up the roll
for 1897 they assessed the Rockefeller real es-
tate at full value, according to the law. The
Rockefellers declare that their assessment is L.
legal. erroneous. and unequal. John d. Rookie
feller's real estate is assessed at $244. 10. Will
liam Rockefeller's is assessed at $29. 500. Both
protested against their assessments on griev-
ancc day, but the assessors refused to lower
them.
The papers are returnable June 81. John D.
Rockefeller bought tho Rice Farm. which is
assessed ut $4,000, for $4,000; The Coutant
paid ST. 600 Tor H. but he saws that T. is not nee
essarily worth that much because he paid 1t.
He wanted the land and paid literally for 1t.
unjustly. William Rockefeller own a swamp
which is assessed at 81, 500. He offers to sell It
to the village for 81 800 for a sewer outlet. The
village assessors think this is Just a bait, and
that he would be willing to sell the swamp at q
loss in order to get his other assessments low.
