New York, June 21.-The case Of
Thomas G. Barker, charged with the
shooting OF Rev. John Keller at Ar
lington, N. j., last February, will go
to the jury in Jersey City this after
noon. A verdict may reasonably be
expected before night. Before court
adjourned last evening the evidence
was all in and nothing now remains
but the argument of counsel and the
judges charge. Yesterday Keller was
once more OF the stand. His denials
generally were strong, positive, abso-
lutte. When On the stand before, KEEL
Ter showed no spirit, but yesterday, as
he denied the truth of the statements
OF the Barkers, he was more like the
Keller of a year ago, his friends said,
than he has been at any time since the
shooting. twas a hard day for Mrs.
Barker, for neighbor after neighbor
went on the stand and swore that her
reputation for truth and ~veracity was
bad. The battle of the insanity ex.
perts was the third feature of the day.

Russian Tariff Issues Not Connected
With Movement Against America.
Washington, June 21.-The Russian
ambassador, Count Cassini, hadaSa con-
ference of about half an hour with
Secretary Hay yesterday, during which
the tariff issues which havess arisen
were discussed quite fully. The con-
ference did not lead to any new de
velopment in the matter. 1t isssllnder-
stood, however, that the. exchanges
brought about renewed assurance
from the ambassador that Russia's &C.
ton was entirely devoid of political
Importance and was in no way con.
nected with any general movement in
Europe ~antagonistic to American prod
ucts.
The Italian charge ~d'affaires, Mr.
Carignani, also had a talk withrSecre
tary Hay, during which tariff matters
were informally discussed. In connec
ton with the differential duty now
levied on Italian sugar the Italian au
thorities state that their official re
turns al to imports show that no ltal
ian sugar was brought into the United

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IlUlIMA
CARROLL DEFEATS DESIs0S.

The Denison ball team went to Car
roll Thursday to play a return game.
The game had been called for the fore
oon but owing to the rain OF the pre-
vious evening it was, not called until
$50 in the afternoon. The Denison
boys, on alighting from the train in
Carroll, were informed by the station
agent that Carroll would win even if
the umpire had to do the winning, and
they succeeded, the score standing ! to
/ in favor of Carroll. From the first
ball thrown it was an umpire's game
to the finish. Mr.. Korte, the umpire.
would call q ball that the batter could
not have reached with two bats, a
strike. One of the Carroll men had to
be put out three times before Mr.. UNI
pire would accept, The Denison boys
put up a good game Notwithstanding
and with a fair ruling the score would
have been decidedly different. But
fate was against them. Mr.. Waldron
OF Glidden, who pitched for Carroll,
made the remark that he very much
disliked that sort of ruling and would
much prefer playing a fair game. The
Denison team a in a crippled condi-
ton as w OF the regular players were
unable to play. Owing to a recent in
jury Tom Kelly retired aftert the second
inning and Fred Branaka had to re.
turn home. We feel that had the UNI.
pire acted fairly Denison would have
won the game. AS it was there was
absolutely no use in trying, we would
not have been allowed it. AT some flu,
ture time we trust the two teams vii.
be given an opportunity to try THEN
metal under more favorable circum
stances.

G overnment Sells It's Interest in

BOUGHT BY THE NORTHWESTERN

Auction Is Held In the National Cap
ital-UncIe Sam Realizes Over Two,
Million Dollars Out of His Railroad
interest.
Washington, June 21.-Acting under
the authority of the act of congress
approved June 6, 1900, and a notice
issued Jointly by the secretary of the
treasury, the acting attorney general
and the secretary of the interior, the
City and Pacific Railroad company
was sold at auction yesterday to the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company for $2,112, 600, this being the
upset price fixed by the government
and including a credit of $250,OO0 due
the company for mail transportation,
etc. The larger amount was paid in
cash.
Some time ago the commission ap-
| pointed to estimate the value of the
road fixed the amount at SO, 500, 900.
Of this total there were prior liens
amounting to $1,62S,O00, which would
leave the value of the governments
claim $1,S72,000, which with the credit
of $250,000 makes the amount realized
yesterday. The total amount of the
governments claim, however, was
81, CPS, 800 in principal and $2,556,269 in
interest, making a total of $4,184, $50.
According to the value of the road as
estimated by experts nc amount great.
er than the price brought could be re.
allied, hence the upset price was fixed
at that figure. The Indebtedness grew
out of the issuance of bonds by the
United States to the railroad company
under the acts Of July /, 1862, and July
Q, 1864.

Captain Nancy took the Massachu-

Matewan, w. Va, June 21.-Strained
relations between the union and nom
union miners here has resulted in
bloodshed. Yesterday several hundred
union miners, who were On strike,
marched in a body against the Mara
time mines of this place, where non
union men were at work. They tried
to effect an entrance, but the oper-
ators, with 20 guards armed with Win
chesters behind them, blocked the en-
trance. The nonunion miners were
headed by Superintendent Labert, and
when the union men persisted in their
demands, he gave the command to fire.
Fifty shots were fired. Boyd Martin
and Riley Johnson were fatally shot,
and Sam Artrip was dangerously
wounded. The union men did not re-
turn the fire, but dispersed, waiting
reinforcements.
All the union miners throughout
Mingo are collecting. Serious trouble
is expected when they again try to
effect an entrance to the Maratime
