Dover, April %. The court this
morning took up the case of Alfred
Gibbs, colored. charged with the
murder Of Howard Harper, also col
ored. This case was carried over from
the last term of court, as it was
then thought that the case of Cordelia
Botkin, the murderer by poisoned candy
in the mail of Mrs. j. ID. Deane and
MS. j. p. Dunning, would be brought
here for trial, and it was intended il
such had been the case to only draw
one panel of special jurors. But as
such was not to be the case, the trial
of Gibbs was set for this term.
Gibbs pleaded not guilty to the
charge of murder in the first degree,
but pleaded guilty of manslaughter.
-Four witnesses and the prisoner were
examined After statement by coun-
sci on both sides and a consultation
with the court, Gibbs was sentenced
to five years. Imprisonment, and s50C

vIsITED THE HowARD SCHOOL.
Gen O. o. Howard Given an Enthusiastic
Reception by Tenchers and suhoIors

Reception by Teachers and suhoiors
Con. o. o. Howard of New York,
who addressed rally for young men
at the New Century Club Building on
Monday night, was given an enthusi-
astic reception Tuesday at the How
ard School by the teachers and scholars.
The school, which is No. 16, the high
school for colored children, was named
in honor Of Gen. Howard, who laid
the cornerstone in 1865, and naturally
those interested in the school have a
kindly feeling for the general. He
was greeted when he visited the build
ng on Tuesday by between TOO and 500
children, who showed their apprecia-
tion of his consideration for them, by
giving three hearty cheers.
The building was erected by the
Society for the Moral Development of
the Colored People, composed of a
number of prominent Friends and
others, and Gen. Howard was in
terested in the same enterprise, and
gave considerable money to it, as we'll
as for the building of other schools and
colleges for colored people.
He had not visited the school for
years, but he has not forgotten it,
and some time ago sent his picture,
which occupies conspicuous place IN
the assembly room. Tuesday, accom-
panied by Samuel Bancroft, Jr., whose
guest he was while in this city, he
went to the school for a short visit.
| The scholars and teachers were gath
cred in the reception room, and on
tho stage were seated L. B. Morrow,
DIR. S. g. Gilbert, DIR. H. E. Stevens,
DIR. J. B. Stubbs, Mrs. Stubbs. the
Rev. g. l.. Jefferson and A. b. Nc
Pherson johnson. The general was in
troduced by Mr.. Morrow and made a
short address to the children. When
he had finished musical programme.
consisting of the singing of a number
| of patriotic airs, was rendered. Gen.
Howard was pleased with his recep-
tion.
The school was for some years main
tanned by the society which erected
it, and then became a public school.
1t has been rebuilt, and is one OF
the finest school buildings in the city.
Gen. Howard was much pleased with
the change in the building and the
improvements in the methods of in
strueting the children. The school
ranks with the best in the country.

Lancaster, Pa, April 26.-W. L.
KendiG, one of the principals in the
great counterfoiting schome, went to
Philadelphia this morning, and prior
to his departure, in speaking of the
alleged connection of Ingham and
hewitt with the gang, said the last
bride money paid out was to those
two, and that the amount was 50, 600.
1t was divulged today that Jacobs
had made an unsuccessful attempt to
bride another internal revenue deputy
collector before approaching Downey.
Aldus g. Herr had formerly been a
clerk for Jacobs, but became suspici-
GUS that everything was not right and
resigned. A year later he was ap-
pointed deputy collector. Jacobs then
called on him and asked if any Secret
Service men were in Lancaster, and
proposed that Herr should keep him
posted if any came and as much as
possible of their purposes. The deputy
said, "Mr. Jacobs, you must remem-
Der | am u sworn officer Of the law. +"
That ended tho episode so far as Jacobs
was concerned, but Mr.. Herr reported
his suspicious to the collector and then
learned that Jacobs was under sur

Canon City, Ia, April 26. The dis
covery has been made that some very
successful coiners have been operating
inside the State penitentiary here. The
counterfeits made are silver dollars and
it is believed they are of combination
principally of Babbitt metal, which
was used in setting the gratings during
the construction of the prison.
