SENATOR BURKE GUILTY.
Another Chapter in the Celebrated Glove
land. O., liar Scandal.

AnOtn0r Cn0ptor In inc CoAoOr8teO CioVO~
land. O., Bar Scandal.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 27.-State Senator
Vernon II. Burke has been found guilty
in the circuit court Of the first specifica-
ton In the charges brought against him.
Judge Caldwell read the findings of the
court.
LAS the evidence now stands before
this court" he said, I'VE find that Judge
Dillenbaugh and Judge Vernon H.
Burke were jointly attorneys Of Nettie
e. Manning during the acts complained
of in the first specification. We pre-
viously found that Judge Dillenbaugh
did receive $1,100. one-third of the fees
paid in the Manning case, and that the
weight of the evidence showed that
Dillenbaugh participated in the man
agement of the Manning case up to the
time of the division of the fees.
'It is necessary for the court to speak
of these two men together in passing on
the charges against Mr.. Burke. as it is
almost impossible to separate the facts
in each case"
Just prior to the publication Of this
case" Judge Caldwell continued, Burke
Aou eoAh win odNsV AAcSStSS' 10
which he told in detail all the facts In
the case. Judge Dissette states that
Burke said Dellenbaugh told him to go
down and strike Jane Doe for $4,000.
Jane Doe said she couldn't have the
story come out and she could not raise
$4,000. She said she could raise &c.,
600, which she did raise and gave it
to Burke and Dellenbaugh. Judge Dis
sette says he told Burke that that was
the coldest- FLOODED affair he ever
heard of.
Our conclusion" said Judge Cald--
well, lis that Mr.. Burke is guilty as
charged in the first specification-un-
professional conduct involving moral
turpitude."
Judge Caldwell said the evidence
showed that Mrs. Manning should not
have been given a divorce. There was
a conspiracy between Judge Dellen-
baugh and Burke to get that decree
upon the journal and we feel warrant
ed in placing the guilt equally upon
Burke.
1--WE find Burke guilty on both speci-
flcations, and our judgment is that he
be cisbarred."
The court then declared the sentence
in both cases to be disbarment.
Until a year ago, Dellenbaugh and
Burke were the closest personal friends.
When Hon. NJ. A. Hanna began his
campaign for the United States senate
Judge Dellenbaugh became one OF his
most active supporters. Burke. on the
other hand. as member Of the Ohio
senate was the leader in the senate
legislature Of the anti-Hanna move
ment. This resulted In bitter quar-
rel between Dellenbaugh and Burke.
Eventually sensational rumors were
circulated concerning Judge Dellen-
baugh. Burke openly asserted that he
knew enough to draw Dellenbaugh from
the bench; that he had divided fees
with him In a case which had been tried
before Dellenbaugh as Judge.
Dellenbaugh denied these rumors in
open court and asked that the Cleve-
land Bar association investigate them.
This was done with the result that both
Burke and Dellenbaugh were brought
before the circuit court in disbarment
proceedings.

General Eagan Resumes His Testimony
Before the Court OF Inquiry.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Former Com
missary General Charles p. Eagan re-
sumed his testimony before the court
Of inquiry investigating the beef
charges He wore the fatigue uniform
of brigadier general Recurring to the
contract requirements, he explained
that Swift e. Co. were wholly RESPONSE
BILE for the beef until delivered to the
government officials at the points des-
ignated by the department. The clause
requiring beef to keep seventy-two
hours after leaving the refrigerator was
inserted, he said, at his instance after
the concerns declared they could pre-
pare 1t SO as to keep that long. Ex-
planning further, he said:
Suppose a commissary should make
requistion at Santiago for 10000 pounds
Of beef. should secure ii from the ship
and take proper care Of it, retaining it
in the shade, and 1t should spoil with
in seventy-two hours. the contractors
would not be paid for it,"
Many vouchers for beef had been paid,
he said, and he presumed deductions for
spoiled beef had been made, though he
did not know. He understood through
Colonel Osgood that beef had been re-
jected by commands when in fact it was
sweet and perfectly good. Speaking for
arrangements for the Porto Rican ex-
petition, General Eagan said he un-
derstood General Brooke was to COM
mand 1t and he, accordingly, consulted
with General Brooke, reaching a COM
plete and satisfactory understanding
as to refrigerated beef Subsequently
he learned that General Miles assumed
command, but he never consulted with
him. and he did not know that General
Miles knew of the beef arrangements.
Replying to Colonel Davis, he said that
Colonel Sharp. chief commissary for
that expedition, was furnished some
thing like $250,O00 credits on the United
States and an offer to send cash was
nInde, but declined. This statement was
intended to bear upon General Miles

million to eight million dozen eggs year
on this market. Statistics show that these
trades use over 100000 dozen annually,

Supply Ct Eggs Not Equal to the Ce.
mand.

From the New York Commercial.
While the demand for eggs is constantly
increasing the supply shows disappoint-
ing decrease. The speculative element in
the market is in consequence expecting
higher prices, while the trade in general
Is only striving to keep up its supply.
Last years receipts on the New York
markets were over 90,0O0,OOO dozen, but
the receipts for the first six months of this
year show decided falling off.
New York Is the largest egg market In
the world, and last year handled over $1s,-
600. 200 worth of eggs, figured at the aver
age retail price of 20 cents.
The calico print interests use, 1t Is rough.
ly estimated, over 100000 dozen eggs
annually, while the coffee roasters, the
Photographic trades, the cracker and bis.
cult combines, and the chemical trades con-
sumo twice as many. In fact, the grocer
10 to-day compelled to compete In the
general market against the buyers from q
dozen manufacturing interests. The leath.
er and leather product trades are also ex.
tensive users Of eggs for tanning and re-
fining purposes, as are also the several
patent food concerns. Wine and liquor
jobbers find the egg Indispensable In '6nd-
ing" and, In fact, when all the other in
terests have been supplied the grocer is in
deed fortunate il he gets what he needs.
England last year imported over $40. OOO,-
900 worth of eggs, but the American egg
had hardly any representative in these
millions of cases. French, German and
especially Canadian eggs reached the
English market to the exclusion of the
American article. This Is principally due,
say the leading dealers, to the fact that
under the present tariff Canada, being un.
able to ship eggs into this country, sends
them to Europe. Under these conditions,
even IL the American supply were In great
excess of the demand, which 1t has never
been, competition with Canada would be
out of the question.
''It may not be generally known" said
Mr.. Martin, of G. w. Martin q Bros,
"but the volume of the egg business In
this country is larger than many Of the
great businesses. The profit Is
much smaller, with the transactions quick
err, but in the aggregate the egg business is
one of the most important and extensive in
the country. Eighteen millions Of dollars
worth of eggs were handled In this city
alone last year. while Chicago, st. Louis
and the other markets together would prob
ably more than double this figure. The
manufacturing interests, of course, have had
a great effect upon the market, but the de-
msnd from the table is growing heavier
