WOMAN TEsTIF1Es.
Mrs. Davis Declares That Powers
Was mt Home Sick on jan
uRry 25.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. II. = MrE.
John Davis, the wife of one of the de-
PENDANTS charged with being an acces-
sorry TO the Goebel assassination, was
the first witness introduced by the de-
Tense in the Powers trial Friday. Com
monwealth's Attorney Franklin inter
posed formal objection to the eligi-
bility of the witness, but the court
ruled that she was competent wit
ness. Powers boarded at her. house.
John Powers was also there January
rs. She testified that the latter was
i'll in his room at her house that day
and did not leave his room after II
o'clock that day. This was in contra
diction of the testimony of Robert
Noakes who told of an alleged con-
versation with John Powers at the
state house, in which he said the latter
told him "to stay close to the building
as something was going to happen as
soon as Goebel and those fellows came
down."
Solomon Wilder of Whitley county,
testified that Robert Noakes was at
Corbin in March and asked him not to
tell anybody he was in town, as he
might be arrested in connection with
the assassination conspiracy. Noakes
further said he believed Caleb Powers
innocent. He said the members of the
Noakes military company at Corbin in
stead of being desperados, as Noakes
had alleged, were mostly good men.
The defense asked to be allowed to
offer as evidence the act of the legisla-
ture appropriating $4,000 for the pur-
pose of aiding in the search for and
prosecution of the assassin or assassins
of William Goebel. The prosecution of
fered no objection and the act was
made part of the testimony.
Walter Day, former republican state
treasurer, testified that Youtsey sent
for him the day before the shooting.
He went to see Youtsey and the latter
told him that for $500 he would settle
the contest. Witness pressed Youtsey
to know how he would accomplish it,
but the latter would only say for that
amount he would settle it.
Witness said to Youtsey: 81 am not
that kind of a man." and refused to
confer further with 1outSey aboutlt
At the conclusion of the testimony
of ex-Treasurer Walter Day the de-
Tense in the Powers case rested. The
commonwealth expects to conclude its
rebuttal proof by tonight.
Ex-Gov. Brown, leading counsel for
the defense, said Friday night that in
his opinion the state had utterly failed
to make out case against Powers, and
that the jury would be compelled to
bring in a verdict of acquittal. There
are few who believe the trial will result
in a conviction, but majority of peo-
pie anticipate hung jury. The law
yers for the defense insist that they are
entitled to a verdict of acquittal, but
do not anticipate the jury's verdict by
giving out such statement.

Heavy storms.

This part of the county was visited
by heavy wind and rain storms Sat
urday and Sunday evenings about
o'clock. The storms came from the
northwest and were rather of cyclonic
appearance. There was a strong
wind accompanied by heavy rain.
The rain was needed. Sundays heat
was something terrible and on ac-
count of the sultry atmosphere the
day was hardly to be endured until
the rain Of the evening. On account
of the intense heat and the very
threatening appearance of the storm
clouds approaching from the north
west many took refuge in cyclone
caves.

BASE BALL
0skaloosa Defeats Lost Creek
Score III to 7.

The Oskaloosa boys went against a
stiff proposition at Lost Greek Sat
urday. "Chipn Hynes and his aggre-
cation play the game well but the
home team has taken brace and
resolved to win out in the next series
of games in order to make up for
their poor standing in the past.
Outside of some wild throws in the
sixth inning, few errors were made
and none of them costly. Rough
ground was responsible for most of
the mistakes. Oskalooaa was first
at bat and they were off in bunch.
Drinkle went to first on an error,
Jeffries sacrificed, Evans hit to short
stop but the ball was fumbled and he
was safe on first. Middleton singled
and Drinkle and Evans scored. TIE
he" Davis secured nice little hit
from" Chips" collection and" Gussie"
Drinkle followed suit. Middleton
scored, "Long" Davis sacrificed,
CITE he" scored, Thomas bit for two
bases, Gussie scored, Voyce flew out
and when the smoke cleared away
Oskaloosa had five scores to the good
and the game was practically won.
The rest of the game was batted out
at leisure. One in the second, two in
the third, one in the fourth, one in
the sixth and one in the seventh made
up the eleven. For Lost Creek Moody
was first up and he hit the first ball
pitched for what should have been q
two-base hit, but the ball got lost in
one of the numerous weed patches
which adorned the field and he made
it home run. The next three men
up went out in one.two three order
For the second inning they batted out
two scores aud outside of the unlucky
sixth they were forced to accept eggs
of the goose variety, enough for 9

DESTROYED THE BOOZE.
Final Outcome Ofthe Liquor Trial at
Shenandoah

Shenandoah, AN0k 13-The bust
ness district of Shenandoah Saturday
took on the semblapce of a distillery
and the streets, for few hours,
flowed with whisky brandy and beer.
So loud was the odor of the liquor
that many imagined that several sa
looms must be running in full blast
somewhere in the vicinity. The
cause of the unusual state of affairs
was the confiscation, by Constable
William Simmons, of ninety eight
packages of liquor, ranging from one
gallon to five and six as the case
might be. This is the final chapter
of the liquor seizure that has caused
more or less grief to parties con-
cerned since it was made on last
Thanksgiving day, when the county
authorities took charge Of all the
liquor in the possession of the Wells
Fargo and Adams express companies
at the Omaha & st. Louis and @. b.,
& @. warehouses.
Judge Walter 1. Smith, of Council
Bluffs, who has had the case under
advisement, has just rendered his
decision and ordered the liquor con-
fiscated. The express companies
have taken an appeal to recover the
value of the liquor.

EMANCIPATION.
A Grand Celebration Held at CoaIGeid
Saturday.


Abba Republican: Colored people
from Abba, Hooking, Centerville,
Muchakinock and other points to the
number of several hundred gathered
at the beautiful grove in Coalfield last
Saturday to commemorate an event
that is held dear and fondly cherished
by every loyal Afro-American. The
day was an ideal one, and the large
crowd was, with few exceptions, or.
derby and generally well behaved.
The program did not begin until after
dinner and the people divided the
time in patronizing the refreshment
stands and listening to the excellent
music discoursed by the colored band
of Hooking who by the way presented
a striking appearance in their hand
some new uniforms. In the afternoon
speechifying and music-making occu-
pied the time, and not the least at
traction on the grounds was the in.
dispensible and highly amusing plat
form dance. The committee having
charge of the celebration deserve
much credit for the efficient manner
that they looked after the comforts
and wants of the visitors, and all we're
amply cared for. Towards evening
the large crowd began to dispense, all
feeling that in the observance of
emancipation day Coalfield had done
herself proud

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Evans let only two men walk on
him.
Moody caught for Lost Creek and
still we won the camel
Middleton caught the game and
Davis played at short stop.
Jeffries made a pretty double from
a fly behind third across to first in the
seventh.
The Lost Creek grounds would make
a good subject for class in civil en-
cheering.
Evans struck out ten men and kept
the hits we'll scattered. He can pitch
ball with any amateur in the country.
Chas. Middleton as catch was with
Evans strong battery and one OF
the best the team has put up this year.

THE USE OF PUBLIC GARDENS.
They Would Tend to Decrease the In
mates of the Reformatories.

Children often become criminals be
cause they have no outlet for doing what
they like and what IS proper for them to
10. All children love to work in gar
,iens: and if there were public gardens
where children could voluntarily work if
they wanted TO there would be no occa-
sion to fill the reforinatoFies to half their
present extent.
None know better than these who have
interested themselves in reformatories
what are their weak points. However
well treated, the inmates feel as prisoners.
and there is the difficulty of placing them
for a start in the world when the refor-
matory term eXpires-a difficulty growing
more serious every day. Aside from this
is the enormous tax ON the community in
the way of private benevolence or public
charges. None would welcome an im-
proved method of lessening these pres
sures more THAI eeformatory managers.
Public gardens, as suggested, would
help TO some eXtent-but they have not
been found practicable in large cities,
from whence most of the population of
the TeformatOries come. - Meehau's
