TRAP LAID FOR DR. MOORE
MAGISTRATE COOPER HEARS CASE AND
HOLDS MOORE FOR COURT.
Elijah NJ. Gregory, Who Made the Affidavit
Subjected to Severe Examination by
Ward & Hayes.

Magistrate COoper's office was the
scene of considerable interest last
Thursday morning when the prelimi-
nary hearing of the bribery case against
DIR. Thomas G. Moore was held. The
result was that DIR. Moore was held in
$1,000 bail on two charges of violating
the election laws, by giving, as alleged.
two dollars to Elijah NJ. Gregory for
the purpose of registering at the last
election.
There was additional interest CEN
tered IN the case on account of the
noted attorneys present. ATTORNEY
General White was present and assis-
ted Magistrate Cooper in conducting
the prosecution on the part of the
State, and Messrs. H. H. Ward, ESQ.
and Walter H. Hayes, Esq, of Will
mington, represented DR.. Thomas C.
Moore. Elijah NJ. Gregory and his
thirteen-year-old daughter Ruth, gave
IN their testimony, but ruling at the
start OF the case by Magistrate Cooper.
only allowed DIR. Moore's ATTORNEYS to
cross examine and not to bring anv
witnesses in rebuttal.
When the affidav1ts made bv Elijah
M. Gregory before Magistrate John
Hutton, of Dover, were read, Gregory
stated under oath as follows:
81 went on the Monday previous to
the last day of registration, to the
waiting-room in the depot. DIR.
Moore approached me and said was
not registered. He came up to ME and
kind of motioned his head to me. and
we went back to the window near the
weighing machine. He said: You
have not registered yet; will you reg
lister if you get dollar to do it?' Then
he gave me dollar"
"With the specific understanding
that you were to register with it'' in
quired Attorney General White.
''He had no other cause to give me
money"
"Did he give you dollar on any
other occasion?" asked Mr. White.
ION the last day of registration I
sent note to DIR. Moore, saying 1 had
spent the dollar he had given me, and
he sent another dollar back to me-"
"He sent the money with the under
standing that would register with it,
L suppose. That was in October
1885,

EndeavOred to Trap DR.. Moore.

Attorney Hayes here began to cross
examine Gregory as to whether DR..
Moore actually gave him the dollar;
whether he received the note to his
actual knowledge, to which Gregory
was unable to answer, save that he
kept memorandum of the days of the
week only to get his dates when nec-
essary.
"Why if necessary, pursued Mr..
Hayes.
Because if it ever came before the
court wOnld have the dates
"Did yon expect it to go to the
court?"
81 knew it was a court offense," re-
spOnded Gregory.
'Were you, then, endeavoring to
trap DIR. moore, 'relentlessly piled Mr..
Hayes, as he played trump card
''Yes, sir, quietly answered Greg
ory.
"Were you acting on your own mo-
ton, or"
Attorney-General White here en-
tered objection, which caused brisk
legal tilt between counsel. Mr.. Hayes
said he wanted to get at facts-to show
there was a conspiracy. Magistrate
Cooper said that he felt like taking a
little wider range because the case was
peculiar, and there had been so much
crying because the State has been put
to great expense. He decided to admit
the question of Mr.. Hayes, which
was:
"Were you acting on your own mo-
tion?"
eyes, SIR"
Not acting by advice of anybody
else?" asked Mr.. Hayes. "No, sir"
Did you try to trap anybody
else?"
mo Regulars, but Democrats and
Union Republicans" replied Gregory.
Gregory under cross-examination
said: 81 was born in New Jersey, in
1856. l stayed in Morristown until
1892, and 1 lived in Philadelphia
month or two under the name of Greg
ory; never lived there under the name
OF Martin Jennings, and was never
arrested for embezzlement."
Did you state yesterday you were
IN this thing for what you could get
out OF it?" asked Mr.. Hayes. "No,
SIR"
You know the governor has offered
reward of $50 in such cases?" 81
nave heard SO" said Gregory.

Training Canaries.

In the canary-breeding establish.
ments of Germany only the male birds
are valued, because the females never
sing. The method of training the
birds to sing is to put them in a
room where there is an automatic
whistle, which they all strive to imi.
tate. The breeder listens to the eff.
forts of the birds, and picks out the
most apt pupils which are then placed
in another room for further instruc.
lions. These are the best singers.
and ultimately fetch high prices. The
less gifted birds are sorted into sec.
ond and third quality, and are sold.
while those which show no vocal pow
ers are destroyed, German canaries
are exported to all parts of Europe.
to America, and even to Australia.
and command higher prices than those
bred in other lands because they are
the best singers, for among breeders
of other nations more attention is
given to form and color, comparative.

song.

One Wife Surely Enough.

Margherita Arlina Hamm, traveller
and author, called when in China upon
the wife, or rather the wives of a
great mandarin. Her visit partook
of the nature of festival, so novel
was the experience to the Chinese wo.
men, whose lives are passed almost
entirely within the walls of the va
men. They examined her clothing
and were partly astonished at it. They
were shocked by her shoes, and espec-
tally by the fact that her feet were
not confined by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through
the interpreter: "You can walk and
run just as we'll as MANI"
"Why, certainly"
"You can ride pony as we'll as a
MANI"
"Of course"
Then you must be as strong as
most men"

throat, as If her voice refused to utter
sound, attracted the attention of all,
and the men bowed their heads that
they might not see.
Ranged along the wall in a solemn
row sat the brother of the bridegroom,
his mother, his daughter and the
mother of the bride. Clarisse's moth
er was but the ghost of herself of yes
terday; then strong and erect and con.
tent; now trembling in her chair as il
she would again fall to the floor, her
appealing eyes unheeded, for her
daughter had been placed so that she
could not see her mother.
Almost as quickly as the company
was seated-no time being permitted
for scenes, that were disliked by the
head of the church-the voice Of Brig
ham Young rang out loud and conf
dent. Addressing the first wife, he
said: Are you willing to give this
woman to your husband to be his law
full wife for time and for all eternity?
If you are you will signify it by plac-
ing her right hand within the left
hand Of your husband"
The broken, wretched wife reached
across the altar, and lifting the deli
cate hand Of the girl with her own
workstiffened fingers laid 1t in the
broad outstretched palm of her hus-
band. Thus was the plural marriage
consecrated and the holy institution
of Christian wedlock desecrated, in

Condition of the Crops.

Wheat held up well under the
trying conditions in the fore part
of the week, although it was be-
ginning to look badly in places
before the rains. 1t is now com.
ing to head with stalk
shorter than the average in a
number of localities. The gen.
eral outlook continues good for a
satisfactory grain yield, although
it is thought that the straw will
be lighter than expected earlier
i'll the season. Timothy and
crimson clover suffered apprecia,
bly, during the long dry spell,
and the hay yield will undoubt,
eddy be reduced. Reports from
some districts are to the effect
that an average hay crop is out
of the question, while in others
the reviving effects of the rains
have called forth more hopeful
predictions. Glover is now in
full bloom, aud will soon be
ready to cut in Anne Arundel.
Oats suffered considerably until
the rains, but now shows marked
improvement. Rye is reported
in fair to excellent condition, al
though, like wheat, it is gener-
ally heading low. Pastures have
revived in all sections. Land is
being prepared for buckwheat in
Garrett County. Corn in the
ground for the past three weeks
is just beginning to terminate.
In some fields the prolonged dry
spell hardened the soil into
thick, impenetrable crust, and in
such cases much replanting will
be necessary. The early corn
that came up before the dry
weather is now growing nicely.

How a Mother Acts When Asked to
Give Her Daughter in Marriage.


Give Her Daughter in Marriage.
Mrs. Hudson describes graphically
what she saw and heard in Mormon
household during q significant visit
from the elders of the church. Below
is an extract:
Three men were ushered into the
room. One was tall and Of strong,
well-marked features and dignified
presence The others were stout and
florid and rather nervous in manner,
brothers apparently.
Without waiting for formal intro
duction, one of these motioned incon-
sequently toward me and said, "Is she
of the Lords people?"
The woman offered them chairs with
a slight inclination of the head, that
might have been taken either for an
swer or for an invitation to be seated.
Was she afraid? l could not tell.
The men paid no attention to the in
vitation for the moment and ignored
my presence. They had come upon
urgent and important business, they
announced, and would state 1t at once.
It was their duty to bear a message
to her, one that specially concerned
her.
EYES," said the tall and solemn ell
der, at is indeed nothing less than a
revelation received by the head of the
church last night. 1t concerns both
you and your daughter"
"My daughter!" gasped the woman
in scarcely audible tones, and l saw
one hand grasp the back of chair
convulsively.
Your daughter who has now grown
to womanhood," continued the elder,
"and owes her allegiance to the
church"
What is the revelation" the wo-
man forced her drawn lips to ask.
Through the grace of the all wise
Father it has been revealed to his dis
ciple, Brigham Young. that your
daughter, Clarisse, should become the
third wife of Elder W, here pres
ent with us"

Suggestions for the Use Of Bi.
Sulphide Of Carbon.
BY WILLIS &. JOHNSTON, STATE
ENTO biologist.

The State Horticultural De.
partment has sent out the follow
ing emergency circular relating
to the use of bi-Sulphide of car
bon for the destruction of the
grain moths and grain weevils:
This material is a very foul
smelling, volatile liquid, as clear
as water, the fumes of which are
several times heavier than air.
They create death atmosphere
in which no animal life can sur
vive. The material can be
placed directly upon grain with.
out the least deleterious effect.
so far as injury to the germ is
concerned and does not hurt it's
edible properties. Although a
very foul smelling liquid, it
leaves no bad after effect, and is
sure death to insects wherever it
reaches them. The material can
be bought in any quantity in
from ten to one hundred pound
cans, from Edward Il. TAYLOR,
Penn Yam, New York, at about
10 cents per pound. Two pounds
otthe material is all that is nee
eSSary for every hundred bushels
OF gram Ill store, or two pounds
Tor every thousand cubic feet of
air space. In applying the chem
zeal, after the capacity Of the bin
or house has been determined. it
should be placed in tin cans,
soup plates, or any vessel with a
large eNaPolating surface and set
around directly on top of the
grain. The room or bin should
be closed as tightly as possible
and left for at least - hours. |
would advise its use in pans or
soup plates, as the fumes are
kept more constant for greater
length Of time, as evaporation is
gradual. and better results can
be secured.
Caution: 1t must be borne in
mind that this material is a very
explosive one, when the fumes
are chemically mixed with air,
therefore u uSt be handled with
caution during the fumigation of
a house or bin. Especial care
should be taken that no lights or
persons with light of any kind,
even cigar or pipe, are allowed
around the room or building.
With this caution, there need not
be any fear to applying it, as a
reasonable amount can be in
hailed without injury during the
operation, OF course it is neces.
Sary for the person applying the
material to get out of the build.
ing as soon as possible. If you
will kindly inform us of the size
of your bin or room, and the
amount of grain in it, we will
tell you how much of the chemical
it will take.
