The Fourth at McMinnYille.


The crowd attending the McMinn-
vile Fourth of July celebration was
estimated at 1900. Capt. j. G. Cooper
was president of the day. President
b. II. Boardman, of the McMinnville
Baptist college, was the orator Of the
occasion and his address was mas
terly one. A very creditable process
sion was formed and paraded the prin-
cipal business streetsIat 10 aim, sub
sequent to which adjournment was
taken to the oak grove on the edge Of
the city where program was carried
out. The most interesting feature Of
McMinnville's celebration was the
drill by the "Manila Guards" which
consisted of thirty-two handsome
young ladies, beautifully uniformed
In blue and white. They we're oflicered
by Capt. Cooper and this performance
was heartily applauded. During the
afternoon several minor events, races,
ETC., took place on the streets. The
days exercises closed with a splendid
fireworks exhibition and dance.
The McMinnvllle people did them
selves proud In entertaining their
guests and their celebration was one
of the most successful they ever had.
The news Of SIMPSONS remarkable
victory over the enemy's fleet, had
aroused the enthusiasm of the cele-
brants not little and the same was
demonstrated throughout the day.

They Are Discharged
Justice Johnson Renders a
Decision in Tally
Sheet Case.
EkigFfsi7
Attorneys Darcy, Richardson and Car.
son Dismissed by Reason Of Insult
ficient Evidence.

At l o'clock this afternoon Justice
II. A. johnson rendered a decision
In the tally sheet case that was on
trial before him last week. The three
defendants, Attorneys P. II. darcy,
S. A. Richardson and John A. Carson
are dismissed ty Justic Johnson, the
evidence and testimony adduced at
the trial not being considered sufii-
cient to warrant conviction In a
higher court.
JUDGE JoHNsoN's OPINION.
"In this case the three defendants,
s. T. Richardson, p. II. darcy and
John A. Carson. were arrested upon a
charge of having forged public rec
ord.
"Much time has been spent in;exam-
lining witnesses and IN the taking of
testimony. shall not attempt to re-
view the evidence, but simply direct
attention to two or three OF the most
important features. No witness con-
nected the defendants with offense
directly except j. w. Roberts and
from his testimony, If true, we would
have to come TO the conclusion that
said crime was committed on the 10th
day of June, 1898, or during the
night of the said date and
from the testimony of j. b.
Giesy and Fl. II. Hayes, two members
of the canvassing board, who each
testified that when he went through
tally sheets and box containing said
sheets on June IL, 1898, there was no
signlthat they had been disturbed in
least since they had been placed In
the said box on the evening of the
10th of June, and from the personal
knowledge / had of the same fact by
being also a member of said board, !
am satisfied that said crime was
committed after IL o'clock, noon OF
the l1th day Of June 1897, therefore /
am satisfied that the testimony Of J,
w, Roberts, should not be considered
in this case nor would IL have any
weight with a jury before whom it
might be tried,
The only other testimony bearing
directly upon this matter is the
testimony of j. G. Johnson
and from the testimony introduced by
the said defendants it clearly appears
that Mr.. Johnson might be mistaken
In some Of the material matters to
which he testified, and l also find
from the testimony that parties, other
than these defendants, had opportu-
mites of tampering with said tally
sheets If they had desired to do so. /
do not think the testimony and evil
dence adduced upon this examination
is sufficient to justify me In holding
these defendants and therefore run a
greater expense to the taxpayers OF
this county, when there is no likeli-
hood of a conviction,
These three defendants are dis
charged"
After adjournment of court the
three defendants were heartily con-
graduated upon the outcome of this
| by their friends who were present.

Alarmed About His Condition.

Family Of Samuel r. Ramp Considerably
Alarmed About His Condition.
Samuel r. Ramp, the venerable
Salem Capitalist and retired farmer
who resides with his family at the
corner OF Capital and Marion streets,
is lying quite low at his home, having
early Monday evening suffered a
partial stroke Of paralysis. Mr..
Ramps left side is affected and he
has been unconscious since shortly
after the attack. He recognizes no
one not even the members Of his fam
lily.
For a man Of his age Mr.. Ramp
for the past few years has been
especially hale and hearty for one Of
his age, 70 years. Monday Mr.. Ramp
witnessed the local celebration, re-
turning to his home early 10 the eye
ming. tie ate hearty meal and went
into the woodshed ON an errand.
Thinking Mr.. Ramp had been gone
longer.than was necessary, Mrs. Ramp
proceeded few moments later to as
certain the trouble. Upon looking
iato the woodshed she was startled
to see Mr.. Ramp laying prostrate on
the floor. With the assistance of
neighbors, Mrs. Ramp removed the
afflicted man into the house, when
medical ai1 wasssummoned.
From the fact that this is Mr..
Ramps third attack, coupled with his
advanced age, the attending physi-
clan doubts the probability OF a re-
covery.
Mr., Ramps oldest son, b. #. Ramp,
Of Albany, came down today and is at
his fathers bedside. s. ID. Ramp, of
Brooks, another son, has been notified
Of his fathers illness. Mr.. Ramp has
three daughters, viz; Mrs.I. D.Driyer,
Jr., Of this city, Mrs. q. w. Sturgess,
OF Cottage GROVE, and Mrs. s. l..
johnson, OF Eastern Oregon.

Ramp was resting somewhat easier
than just before the noon hour but he

Chaplain Chadwick Has Nothing but Praise
For Their Bravery.


The Rev. Father John p. Chidwick.
who was chaplain OF the battleship
Maine when she was blown up in Ha-
vana harbor and is now chaplain of the
United States cruiser Cincinnati, was
recently visiting in New York on a
short leave of absence When seen the
other morning. Father Chadwick spoke
of the bombardment Of Matanzas, tho
only important engagement in which
the Cincinnati has participated.
"It was new experience for me, as
it was for most of the officers and the
crew." said he. "We did not go into
action at first, but stood of while the
New York sent screaming shells into
the enemy's earthworks. / never saw
men so wildly anxious for anything as
were the crew Of the Cincinnati to get
into the fight When the order for them
to go into action came from the flag
ship, the men acted like boys. They
fairly huggod one another. The story of
the bombardment Is too old to need
repetition. Every one has heard how

Captain Parkhurst was appointed To
Rhode Island on July 1. 1868. and
upon his graduation he was promoted
to be second lieutenant OF the Fifth
Cavalry. In August 1878, he was made

arsenal In New York state. and also
stationed at Fort McHenry. He was
then recalled to Fortress Monroe.
where he was detailed as instructor in
the enlisted mems division, and as
sistant instructor in the departments
OF engineering and artillery. About
the outbreak OF the war Lieutenant
Parkhurst bcame captain and went to
Tampa at the time General Skaters

that Corporal Robert II. Cannon OF
