STATEMENT BY POWERS.
DECLARES HIS RECENT TRIAL WAS
A JUDICIAL FARCE.
Says Innocence Was NO shie'o
Against q Corruption Fund of
100000 and tho Methods of View
York Criminal Lawyer Campbell.

GEORGETOWN, KY, Aug. ls.-Caleo
Powers issued statement to the puonc
tonight. in which he says:
THAT one OF the greatest judicial farces
known to history has been enacted mere
in my trial. under the forms or law. no
well Informed man can doubt. Innocence
is no shield with 10000 and the methods
of Campbeiism against you. The recti-
tude of ones past life counts for naught.
They say Taylor is guilty because ne
was at his office. and that | am guilty
because was away from mine. This
has been a political trial throughout. for
political purposes. and no greater mistake
has been made by the Democratic party
since they robbed us of the offices TO
which we were fairly elected by the peo-
pie. From the beginning Of the campaign
until now i have stood With what little
of merit have had for the rights and
liberties of the people. That Is my crime.
That is the only offense | have commit
ted That is the only thing they have
proven against me. i swore TO that my

apology 10 make fer being true to the
trust imposed upon me by majority OF

outraged me and disgraced the judiciary

or Pa Jones' as the case may be. an ig-
norant person who is only known by the
credulous devotees among whom ne plies
his iilegitimate trade relentlessly and IN
molested, and whose only knowledge of
therapeutics is a few nails. earth worms,
gun powder pieces of hair, etc
Such n condition of affairs must inevi-
tably lower the moral tone of our race,
benumb their sense Of right and wrong,
and finally reduce US to the lowest stage
of degrade ton. This superstition has the
tendency 10 make them utterly disregard
all known rules OF care for the sick. 1t
came TO my own personal no
tice during the recent experience with
smallpox, that three persons who were
frequent visitors TO house where they
had gone to see a so-called voodooed
woman, we're taken from that locality
with weli-developed cases of smallpox.
What is true of smallpox is also true OF
other contagious diseases. How can TINS
state of affairs be most effectually reme-
died? i have three suggestions 10 of1er:
First law; secondly. the pulpit; thirdly,
education. Such laws ought to be enacted,
if not already extant as will deter these
voodoo vampires from plying their
lucrative and debasing trade. ! say lucra-
tive for in many instances these charlie
cans command and receive better remun-
era don for their services than regular
physicians. respectfully call the atten-
ton of the authorities 70 this depiorabie
condition, and earnestly ask their coop
Grafton. When these root doctors, as they
are Familiarity termed, know that they are
amenable to the law, and will be hSsd
accountable for such travesty upon an
honorable profession, they will finally
cease 20 prey upon the ignorant and Hit
crate ones.
Secondly, the ministers can wiefd an
iuestimable influence upon their congre-
cations 1t should be enjoined upon our
people not how to die-for die they will
but how to live, for as the life has been,
so the death. Let them know that they
have immortal sous, a soul capable OF
the highest spiritual development, but II
dwarfed by superstition and false ideas, it
VIII wither and perish. The teachers,
under whose tutorship the young ones OF
our race are placed. should guard jealous
ly their early training. Composed about,
as they are, by such foolish notions AMI
ideas, they will finally drift into the old
self same channel, only to find that it
leads also to ruin and perdtiOn. Each
teacher should inculcate into their inno-
cent minds the danger and folly of such
supersutious whims. Remember too, that
ignorance and superstition which are ou'-
growths of darkness, are the foremost
guards in subjugstion.
l earnestly hope and trust that the most
intelligent ones among us will work in
cessantly for a better condition of affairs,
and although at first our task is a difficult
one. some day in the near future, the light
will dawn upon us and we shall have the
assurance that our energies and our eff
forts were well spent, and well directed.

Y. NJ. c. A. BOYS WON 8 TO 4.
Defeated the High School Team at
Bolton Street Park.

The Y. NJ. c. A. and the High School
teams played a game of baseball yesterday
afternoon that resulted in a victory for the
Y. NJ. c. A, by a score of to 4.
The game was very well attended, and
the fans. as usual, were very much in evil
dence. The sympathizers of the teams
wore colors, blue and white for the High
School, and blue and orange, for the Y.
NJ. C. A.
The game started out with what looked
as though It might be frost for the Y.
NJ. c. AS, as Elton was very wild and
with the somewhat ragged support that
he received, three runs were scored be-
fore the third man was put out. When
the Y. NJ. c. AS came to the bat, how
ever, they went the other side two better
In the matter of runs, making FIVE as their
share for the inning. After this both
sides settled down, and though there were
several bad plays at times during the
game, there were some really excellent
ones, also which were more than an off
set.
After the first inning John Elton's work
in the box was really the feature of the
game. He struck out 10 men against
Kehoe's 3. The excellent batting of
George Elton and the fielding of Sholar
and Harmon were also noticeable fea-
lures. The lineup of the teams was as
