resumed and Wednesday at noon ar
guments were presented by Attorney

Russell. Tor the defense. the case was
closed by Wm. Ownby. who spoke
Tor about seven hours and the case
went to the jury Wednesday about
g o'clock. Friday afternoon the jury
came into the court room and stated
that they had failed TO agree. The
Judge sent them back for further con
sideration.
The habeas corpus case Of Otis
Weaver was called Friday morning
and the court refused to take any &C
tion on il. Gs the defendant was not
in custody at the time the writ was
granted. The facts developed in this
case that he was tried for carrying
pistol and before a Mr.. Drury al Ada
and that Drury was not the mayor
legally elected. but that the mayor had
resigned. and Drury was elected by
the council. and upon that election
had a certificate issued 10 himself. by
the clerk os the United States court
at this place. II seems that Weaver
was also mistaken as to the law and
thought that when the mayor resigned
he as recorder became mayor. The
District attorney will hle an AFFIDAVIT

fully.

dians and under the existing laV any
member OF the tribe has a right to do
this, upon an affidavit being filed that

Judge Townsend set the order aside.
then Mr.. Johnson wanted to contest
the motion, by making a showing that
the defendant was a Seminole freed
man but Judge Townsend sent the
case TO Paris. The government saved
an exception 10 this ruling and asked
for sixty days 10 prepare a transcript
and file same In the Court Of Appeals
OF the Indian Territory.

MISS WILKINS EXHIBITION.
Many People Viewed the Pictures mt
Parish Hall.

The exhibition of paintings and draw
ings of Miss E. A. Wilkins and the pupils
of her art school, which was he'd yester-
day afternoon in st. Johns Parish Hall,
was splendidly attended, hundreds visit
ing it during the course of the afternoon.
Refreshments were served by a number
of the young lady pupils. The exhibition
will be continued this morning and this
afternoon, and doubtless will prove as at
tractive and be as We attended as it was
yesterday. The principal pictures on view
have already been noticed in the Morning
News
Among the works that elected the
greatest admiration were Miss wilkins
Study of Yellow Jessamine," in oil, and
study of golden rod, also in oil. Her
copies, Milets THE Cleaners" and THE
Golden Land" and the Souvenir
dItalie," Corot's, also were warmly
praised, especially the Corot, which
though very beautiful, can hardly be
called characteristic of that master, be-
ing much warmer in coloring than the
great majority Of his works
Much of the work of Miss wilkins pu-
pills also was highly praised. Possibly the
best and most admired were the water
color studies of Chinese lanterns and UNI
brella. by Mr. D. Mcmillan, and a girls
head by Miss Dent. Miss Minnie Adams
Miss Ada Ehrlich and Miss Annie Kuck
exhibited some excellent point work, Miss
kuck's many pictures of original heads
being especially fine.

WILL MAKE UP ORDINANCE.
Council Committee VIII Consider
Street Railway Franchises.

The meeting of the committee that has
charge of the ordinance relative to street
railway franchises for the Vernon Shell
Road Company will be held this after
noon at 4:3O O'clock AS indicated in the
Morning News yesterday. the meeting
that was to have been held yesterday af-
ternoon was postponed for the convent
ence of some of the members of the COM
mittee.
Four tracks are not to be allowed on
Bay street. That seems very positive.
Judging from the expressions of some of
the aldermen. The matter was discussed
in caucus at the meeting of the Council
Committee of the Whole last Monday af-
ternoon, and the aldermen seemed united
in the opinion that there should be no
fourth track.
The caucus was held after the retire
ment of those at interest from the meet
ing. The petitioners representatives did
not know that the omission in the ordi-
nance relative to the prevention of a
fourth track on the Bay had been noted.
II was thought possible that Council
might pass the ordinance as ii stood,
which would have allowed the petitioners,
in the event of their acceptance of the
ordinance, to build a fourth track. AS
it is, in all probability, they would have
to get one of the Savannah. Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Company's tracks con-
demned by the Legislature, unless the
company would agree to permit its use
without appeal to the, body.
