INCIDENTAL TO THE MEETING.
Gen. Daniel f. Sicl<Ies and Capt. w. e.
English Called Upon.

At one point in Senator Beveridge's re-
marks last night on the Philippine ques-
ton some one called out from the audi
ence, "Hit him again " mo, no, my
friend" said Mr. Beverage, Il do not de-
sire to hit any one or anything but error.
and 1 am hitting error every day as hard
as / am able / am hitting no one
except those who are assailing the Amer
lean flag" The senator's reply was Wig
orousy applauded.
During Mr. Beveridge's speech he re-
ferred to the standing army of the coun-
try and as he did so he pointed to General
Sickles, a gallant hero of the civil war,
who sat in a chair near the front Of the
stage Instantly the audience became
demonstrative and cheer after cheer arose.
1t was grand ovation to a military hero
one who is standing by the administra-
ton At the conclusion of Mr.. Beveridges
talk the hall was still crowded. and no one
seemed anxious to get away. There were
calls for General Sick1es, and he finally
responded. The general is badly crippled
and kept his chair while talking. With
fine sarcasm he paid his respects to William
j. Bryan, first paying a high compliment
to the speech of Mr.. Beveridge. III tell
you, my friends" said General Sickles,
there was only one time when this coun-
try was in danger of militarism, and that
was the day when William j. Bryan was
made a colonel" The audience laughed
and cheered this joke at the Popocratic
candidates expense, and General Sickles
went on to have fun with Bryan and his
views. The soldier orator said he would
give Bryan credit for doing one wise thing.
and that was in going to Washington and
laborng with Democratic senators so that
the treaty giving the United States the
Philippines was signed. He had as much
TO do with giving us the Philippines as
Major Mckinley" declared General Sickles,
Billy Bryan and Major Mckinley: Having
once acquired the Philippines Major Nc
kinley stands I'D to his work like man
and soldier, while Col. Billy Bryan
sneaks away from his work like coward"
AS General Sickles closed the audience
began calling for Capt. w. L. English,
who was also on the stage. Captain Eng
great applause. Captain English spoke
briefly. Il have made good many speeches
in this hail., he asserted, "but this is the
first time / ever addressed an audience
here in the interests of the Republican
PARTY" The captain thought there might
be danger OF his going ahead and making
q Democratic speech from force of habit
speech along the line of the principles ad-
vocated by Thomas Jefferson. 1t would
not be speech in the interest of the
Democracy of William j. Bryan. Captain
English declared that had 1t not been for
President Jefferson's idea of expansion
Nebraska might to-day be outside the
Union. He called attention to the fact that
ulation of Lincoln, Neb., since Bryan went
there and added: Mr.. Bryan seems to be
the foe to healthy growth and expansion
at home and abroad"

MRS. LANE TESTIFIES.
Widow Of Murdered Messenger n Wit
ness Against Terrell.

MARYSVILLE, o., Oct. 1s-For the first
time since the trial began Rosslyn Terrell
showed to-day the effect of the strain that
naturally is on his mind. When court
opened this morning his demeanor was not
perceptibly changed from the self-confdent
air that has characterized his actions in
the courtroom, but there was decidedly
noticeable paleness Of face not heretofore
seen. and there were deep rings below the
eyes. indicating that his rest last night
had not been good.
The first witness was Charles Ausburg,
the employee of the Adams Express at the
Union Station. His testimony related en-
tirely to the discovery of the body Of Lane.
Prosecutor Robinson then called Mrs.
Louisa Lane, widow of the murdered mes
senger. She was dressed In deep mourning
Behind her her father-in-law carried her
eighteen-months-old child. Terrell glanced
up as she passed, but could not meet her
eyes. Mrs Lane testified to her mar
riage and described the murdered messen-
ger S clothing.
Chief of Police Tyler. OF Columbus, was
next called to testify regarding Ferrells
confession The defense objected on the
ground that ii was made under duress
Chief Tyler was not permitted to recite
FerrelTs confession. but Detective O'Neill
ala so later, subject 10 a ruling TO De made
later to whether it should go to the
jury. Superintendent G. G. Curtis, of the
Adams Express Company, testified regard
ing Ferrells connection with the company,
and identified several articles belonging to
the murdered messenger.
This afternoon the court heard argu-
ments on the admission of FerrelPs confess
sion, and then decided that it should go
TO the jury. Later the detectives and news
paper men who heard Terrell confess were
called TO testify in regard to the confess
sion.
Police Sergeant Patrick Kelley, of Column
bus testified 10 the interception of the ex-
press package containing the sacks and
way bills stolen from the way safe, which
Terrell had expressed at Plain City to
fictitious address at Lockport, N Y The
package was identified and introduced as
evidence
j. Q. Converse, agent of the Adams Ex-
press Company at Plain City. identified the
package as the one he had received and
forwarded and Terrell as the consignor
Barney Smiley, hotel keeper at Plain
City, identified Terrell as the stranger who
had stayed i'm his house on the night of the
express robbery and murder He also testi-
fed TO the finding of Ferrell's revolver un-
der the mattress of the bed i'm which Fer
rell had slept. Court adjourned until to-
morrow.
