Sketches OF the Men Who
Were Wounded


James A. Callahan of Company K.
who is reported in yesterdays Ma
Mia dispatches as having been killed
while fighting at Manila, was a we'll
known and highly esteemed citizen of
this city, and the news of his death
was sad blow to his numerous friends

five years and had been employed 1t
the converters and in several of the
departments at the works. He came to
this city in 1894 from Boise, Idaho,

EIGHT FOR ACQUITTAL,
A Shrewd Guess of the Jury's Position in
the George Trial.

Canton. Ohio, April 27.-What will he
the verdict against Mrs. George was
the question asked wherever two or
more people met ever since the noon
hour, when the jury returned to its de-
liberations. None could answer it, but
all We're willing to conjecture forecasts
running all the way from acquittal to
first degree murder without mercy,
with a disagreement the favorite pad
die on the wheel of fortune. Nothing
came from the jury room to forecast
what was occurring within. A greater
bar to the publicity of the deliberations
than contempt of court was the large
draughting room of the county sur
veyor intervening between the jury
room and the corridors through which
it is approached. AS the afternoon
dragged along. it was concluded by de-
duction that the extremes of possible
verdicts had been eliminated and that
differences of opinion would unite in
verdict of guilt in a reduced degree.
Many expressed the belief, for which
they claimed no authority, that it would
be manslaughter. The nearest approach
was about O'Clock, when the judge
went to dinner and an evening meal
was ordered to the jury room. Then
the spectators, many of whom had been
in attendance all day, filed out. Their
places were promptly taken by others

Mr.. Kennedy told Callahan that he did
not believe he would be capable of
passing the examination. as he was
not of the requisite height. Callahan

A SURPRISING MOVE
Made in the Circuit Court by Genera
Counsellor Trimble.

Kansas City Mo-, April 27.-To-day be-
fore Judge Thayer and Judge Philips of
the United States circuit court, ]. Med
Trimble. general counsellor for the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, made
a surprising move by resignins as one Of
the receivers Withdrawing the motion to
have the case remanded to the state court
and dismissing the suit in the state court
by virtue of which Judge Gibson appoint
ed Robert Gilman, f. l.. Martin and j.
Med TrimbIe receivers. The last move
nullifed the action of Judge Gibson and
left the case in the hands of the two
federal judges to appoint whom they
please as receivers.
The suit of the State Trust company of
New York to foreclose 10000 900 mort
cages still stands on the federal court
docket.
To-day's action is in the nature of a
compromise between the Eastern and
Western interests of the road but it is
said each side will fight for majority
of the new receivers which the court
will appoint.
The appointm were received with
considerable surprise and caused much
comment as it was thought that Robert
Gilman and possibly E. l.. Martin would
be retained on the board of receivers.
Webster Withers is well known in Kan
sas City, having lived here for many
years lie was collector OF internal rev.
enue during President Cleveland's second
administration. He held the office for
some time during President Mckinley :
administration.

lAWTON'S PLAN.
He will Sweep the Country Clear of In
surgents.

Washington, April 21.-The war de-
partment did not receive any cOmmu-
nication from General Otis to-day re-
specting the campaign about Calum-
pit. 1t is said now that while 1t is
part Of the plan for Lawton, moving
westward from Norazagary to take the
rebels in the rear to Calumpit ana
crush them between his own force and
that of Macarthur, such was not the
only purpose of his expedition. The
principal one was to clear the coun-
try back of the foothills of the nu-
merous small bodies of insurgents who
have been harassing the country and
making life miserable for the Ameri-
can troops by forays at unexpected
times and places. 1t is believed that
General Lawton has fully succeeded in
this and that when he has effected a
juncture with Macarthur north of Cal
umpit it will be possible to establish
comparatively short line of works
across country and prevent the return
of the insurgents from the north.
