IL, 1896: "The Republican party,

have reached a crisis where we
have got to call a halt. The Re
publican party has got to diScon-
meet itself from trusts. 1t has
got to do something more than
adopt platform plauks against
trusts. 1t seems to me, after Civ

thought, that the Republicans in
Congress will have to examine
the subject thoroughly and when
ever they find a trust is depend.

largely on protective duties it
will be the duty of Republican
congressman and Senators to re.

cannot stop short of that. The
duties must be repealed when it

Gifted by them. This should be
done with the duty on steel rails

THE BODY OF WATTS.

wandercr on the face OF the earth, with
no place to lay its head until this morn
ing. when the head found resting
place upon Il square block of wood on
the floor of an upper loft in the Mcdi-
cal College of Virginia.
The body was shipped from Newport
News to this city on Saturday, the re-
latives of the dead man having refused
to have anything to do with 1t.
1T was hauled to the college on Sat
urday afternoon. but reached there too
late to be admitted.
ut spent yesterday at the express
office.
1.-The doctors examined the body
when il arrived to-day with great care
and interest, being considerably puzzled
over it. There is nothing about the
man to suggest the fend. His lips were
not i'm the least sensorous, being thin
and compressed, his hair is brown and
his eyes n mild blue. The features are
regular and bear rather shrewd OK
preston. Ills form is as perfect MS an
Apollo his skin fair and white. hands
and feet small for such n large frame.
Altogether he Is man who. In smart
clothes. would attract attention for fine
appearance.
There are eleven bullet holes, three
in the legs from the knees ups four in
the abdomen and chest, and the re-
mnlnder in the head.
According to the laws OF the State
the body is now a legitimate subject
for anatomical study and practice, but
the officials ut the hospital decline to
say what will be done with It."

venire for the trial of the case OF Louis
August, the artilleryman from the fort
charged with the terrible murder of
Annie Benedict, who was found in
Phoebus one morning not long ago
dead and disemboweled. August, his
undertaking saturated with blood,
was arrested. At first he admitted the
crime. Later he stated that he was
drunk and did not know what he was
doing-he might and he might not have
killed the woman.
The act was that of fiend. 1t was
pcrDctratcd. it is believed, by the same

NEAT AND PECULIAR.
August Is said to have been the
neatest man at Fort Monroe, a state
ment which his personal appearance as
he sat In the courtroom this morning
seems to bear out He was scrupu-
iously clean and was dressed as though
ready for wedding, not a funeral.
He is peculiar looking man. but
there is no crazy CLEAN In his bright
blue eyes. His squat features do not be-
tray extraordinary intelligence. but
they are not the features of an imbecilc
On the contrary, his face is alive with
expression and there is a jaunty alert
ness about him that disproves the sup
position that he is dull. He wears a
good-natured smile above his carefully
brushed goatee, and appears uncon-
scious of having committed O crime so
revolving in Its brutality as to out
rival the deeds of Jack-the- Ripper. In
deed, his face is anything but that of n
ncnd
A MATTER OF TASTE.
He came into court this morning
with CHEEKY smile at some of his for
mer comrades who were there TO greet
him, and II pleasant good morning. for
his counsel. to whom he stated that he
was feeling all right" TITS altogether
matter of taste" remarked one of the
attorneys sitting by, hearing the re-
mark OF the prisoner and commenting
on the strangeness OF any man feeling
"all right" under such circumstances
1t Is probable that the trial will not
be concluded before the middle OF next

No arrests have yet been made in

Richmond. Va, Jan. 9.-The argu-
ment before United States Court Cir
cult Court, Judge Waddill presiding. in
the case of Thomas +. Ryan against
the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad,
was concluded here this evening. Judge
Waddill announced that he would rem
der his decision on Saturday or Mon
day next. Meanwhile, he said he would
make no order, but simply let the I'M
Outstanding of December Goth between
counsel on both sides remain In force.
to-wit: That he had refused re-
straining order with reference to the
Raleigh and Castor railroad, and that
the situation with reference to the Sea-
board and Roanoke railroad should re-
main in statu quo until he had rem
dered his decision.
The prevailing sentiment of the Rich
mond public is that Judge Waddill will
refuse to interfere. This is based upon
: his several questions as to how Mr..
Ryan was to suffer irrcparable injury.
when, in the Judges words, substan-
tally he had been offered 5000 a share
Tor stock which had cost him only from
$50 to S100.
Another question asked OF NIr. Ber-
nard Carter, who closed the argument
this evening for the complainant, was
during the last ten minutes of that
gentlemans remarks, to-wit: That the
judge would like to have explained
what there was to restrain with refer
ence to the Seaboard and Roanoke
railroad when there was no power of
consolidation and n disclaimer of in
tent to consolidate In the absence of
aeg1slation on the part Of the Virginia
Legislature, and until such legislation
should be had. Counsel for defendant
argued that even were the act empow-
erlng consolidation already passed by
the Virginia Legislature there could
be no power to restrain in the absence
OF either fraud or of any action taken
ultra wires. What had been done by
the defendants thus far was admitted
by counsel for complainant to have
been without fraud and intra wires. but
nhey pressed the point that their client
would be irreparably injured. They
made their stand on this point.
The argument has continued during
Two days. able speeches having been
made by Mr.. Garter on the side of the
complainant. and by Mr.. Bond, Judges
Lewis and Cross for defendants. Mr..
Carriers speech was wonderfully clever
from n popular standpoint, dealing,
however. almost wholly in catchy and
0acilc narration, while the remarks of
defendants were confined to the strict
~ legal propositions establishing ac-
lion without fraud and intra wires.
which were alone essential to make
such action valid. The question of ir-
reparable injury to Mr.. Ryan was con-
sidered. but the tenor OF questions from
the bench seemed to make any extend
cd remarks on this point unnecessary.
Richmond is much aroused in behalf
of the consolidation. rs was attested
by discussions in public places and by
the crowds present throughout the
hearing
