Inning Today.
FRANKFORT, March 27.-The most
thrilling event of the examining trial Of
Republican Secretary of State Caleb
Powers occurred yesterday and for
few minutes it looked as if serious
trouble could not be prevented. Judge
George Denny, for the defendant, in an
argument on the competency of a ques
ton, said: cit is perfectly lawful for
people to come here and to come armed.
came here several times myself" He
was referring to the crowd that was
present at the mass meeting held in the
state house yard just prior to Governor
Goebel's assassination.
Colonel Campbell, for the prosecu-
ton, replied that he did not consider it
lawful and was surprised to know that
Denny had come here armed. Denny
denied having made such a statement
and said that he did not come armed.
Campbell insisted that he had made the
statement. Both men were very much
excited and spoke with yehemence and
with arms shaking commenced to ad-
vance toward each other. The court
room was crowded and the audience
evidently thought a fight was on and
made mad rush for the doors and
windows, people falling over each other
in their wild efforts 20 get out of the
room. Several policemen and deputy
sheritfs We're crying for order and
Judge Moore was bringing his gavel
down with terrific force and urging the
people to take their Seats After five or
ten minutes of the most exciting scenes
since the assassination quiet was re-
stored.
Colonel Campbell arose and apollo
gized to Denny and the court, Judge
Denny replying in very happy speech.
On an inspection of the record it was
found that Colonel Campbell had mis-
construed Judge Denny's statement.
At the conclusion of the examination
of Golden the commonwealth rested its
case. Mrs. Golden was not put Oh the
stand. 1t is stated that she is an un-
willing witness. The attorneys for the
defense asked for an adjournment OF
the case for the purpose of conference
, with the defendant as to the witnesses
who will be placed on the stand in his
behalf today.

PLAY with Dead Mems Bones.

The boys in the neighborhood
bounded by Broadway, Park avenue
and Seventh and Rutger streets, st.
Louis, are enjoying themselves during
the school vacation season with cur
ious playthings. Shiny" is their
favorite pastime and the instruments
they employ in the game are portions
of the decompGsed anatomies of what
were once, perchance, their ancestors.
A blackened, grinning skull serves
for the ball and a grisly thigh bone
or upper bone of the arm for a driving
stick. The playthings of the boys of
the neighborhood are the relics OF past
and almost forgotten generations of
people whose bodies were buried in the
old st. Joseph's convent cemetery.
