THE GREENLEAF TRIAL.
Jury View the Scene and Later View
Mrs. Folsom's Skull.

Laconia. N. H., Feb. considerable
progress was made in the Greenleaf
murder trial, Wednesday, the jury
court. counsel and the alleged murderer
being taken to the scene Of the murder
of Mrs. Nancy Jane Folsom in Bos-
cawen, and upon return the trial was
begun by the introduction of two wit
nesses, Frank A. ROBBIE and DR.. A. A.
Beaton of Salisbury. The latter testi-
fled that he performed the autopsy on
the body of Mrs. Folsom. He found
three scalp wounds, and of two frac-
lures he said either was sufficient to
cause her death.
His testimony was interesting from
the fact that he produced the skull and
corresponding portion of the scalp.
in describing the nature of the wounds.
He said portions of the skull were
forced into the brain two inches by the
blows.
DR.. Beaton also testified that he
measured the footprints in the road
and counted the nails in the imprints of
the shots near the scene of the murder
and in both instances they coresponded
with the shoes worn by the alleged
murderer on the day the crime was
committed.
About so witnesses are to be exam
ined, but it is believed the case will go
to the jury the latter part Of the week.

NOT A FORCE BILL.
Statement by crumpaeker Regarding
His Suffrage Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Rep. Crumpack-
err of Indiana, author of the resolution,
presented to the Republican caucus,
Tuesday night, and to be further con-
sidered at a caucus. next Monday night,
authorizes the following statement as
to the general purposes of the resolu-
ton to correct any impression that it is
in the nature of a force bill"
The resolution submitted to the eau
Gus was designed to secure a full and
thorough investigation of the suffrage
question not only in the South but in
all states that have imposed material
restrictions upon the manhood suffrage.
This is a general belief that a number
of states have disfranchised large
portion of their citizens; that the COL
ored population, by the operation OF
state laws, is entirely eliminated as a
political quantity and yet it counts in
apportioning representation among the
states.
1t is the general belief that the South
ern states have at least IS representa-
tives in the House and the electoral
college resting upon fictitious basis.
If this be true in fact and representa-
ton reduced accordingly as the con-
stitution imperatively requires, it would
go a long way toward settling the race
question. Such a method would have
none of the characteristics of force
bill. 1t would require no force for its
execution. DISTINGUISHING states would
suffer a reduction of political power
which they could regain by educating
their citizens and admitting them to
the privilege Of ballot. The whole ques-
ton would rest with those states.
But Il caucus is asked simply to au-
thorize thorough investigation of the
whole question through congressional
committee specially appointed and
equipped for that purpose and when
the facts as they recall exist are laid
before the Congress and the country
such action may be taken then as the
situation requires.

British Chamber of Shipping Wants
Reforms in United States.

London, Feb. Sat the opening an
nua1 meeting of the Chamber of Ship
ping of the United Kingdom. Wednes-
day, several points, interesting to the
United States, were raised. Col. Emil
Roepner, NJ. p, president of the organ
iation, referring to "crimping'' and
blood money" in the United States.
said the Chamber earnestly hoped the
British ambassador at Washington,
Lord Pauncefote. would succeed in in
ducing the United States to Introduce
legislation making "crimping" a GRIM
inal offence.
Regarding ship subsidies, Col. Roep-
ner said the United States would prob
ably pass a ship subsidy bill, with the
tcsult that there would be a rapid ex-
tension Of the United States mercan-
tile navy. and keener competition.
which would require all the energy and
enterprise of British ship owners to
meet.
The Cha amber passed q resolution
urging the British government to make
an effort to secure the exemption of
British ships from the payment of the
tonnage tax. levied at United States
ports. and it's good Offices to induce the
United States, pending further legis-
la:ion. to enforce the present federal
and state laws in regard to the deser-
ton of seamen and the payment of
blood money
The president read a letter from the
British consul a San Francisco saying
stamcn are now obtainable without
blood money" but Col. Roepner ex-
rlained that this was because there
was always a superabundance of sea-
men during the first few months of the
year.

building and that gave the firemen an
opportunity of heading off the fire.
Window glass throughout the neigh
borhood was broken and bottles and
glass ware in the dwellings and stores
were thrown to the floor and broken.
Many persons in buildings near the ex-
blossoms were knocked down. Scores
of men and women many Of them car
rying children, rushed to the streets.
They were greeted by the glare of the
fire from the manholes. Fearing fur
ther explosions the people rushed down
the street, many of the women scream
ing with fear.
On several street cars near the place
the windows were smashed and the
passengers severely shaken up. When
people in the cars saw the flames gush
from the ground all hands rushed for
the doors. A number of persons were
bruised and knocked down in the ex-
cited exit One car filled with passen-
gers was thrown from the tracks.
Among the dead are supposed to be
three children of the Trostle family
whose bodies have not yet been recov-
cred 1t is not known positively that
they were in the house at the time, but
a search of the neighborhood has not
shown any trace of them. There were
six children in the family and there is
little doubt that all the eight members
of the family were killed. The three
other people. who are said to be dead.
are supposed to be customers in the
meat market at the time of the explo-
sion.
The direct cause of the explosion is
not known, but all indications show
that it was due to escaping gas in the
basement of the Trostle house.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning. There was dazzling
fash, a deafening roar and cloud of
dust and shattered timbers where the
Trostle house had stood.
On both sides of Archer avenue, be-
tween 22d and 23d streets, every pane
of glass was blown out and a number
of the residents in the damaged build
ings suffered slight injuries from fly
ing glass.
Adjoining the Trostle building on the
west, at 274 22d street, was a two-story
frame building in which John Mcleod
lad a saloon. 1t vanished in the same
second as the meat market. 1t was re-
ported that one or two people were
killed here, but the story could not be
substantiated.
In the ruins of the buildings occupied
by Trostle and Mcleod the flames
burned so fiercely that even though the
inmates had not been killed by the first
force of the explosion, they must have
met quick death by fire. Close to the
TroStle building stood the Pennies
Hospital. small affair. which had but
a few patients. The building was bad
" rocked and every window in it blown
out. but none of the inmates was in
jured. The patients were hastily re-
moved to safer quarters in the neigh
borhood by the firemen.

THE sIDDLEs BURIED.
Small Crowd and No Sensation-Frank
James On Their Escape.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. The remains
of Edward and John Biddle were quiet
ly inferred in a single grave at Calvary
cemetery, at 9.45 o'clock "Wednesday
morning. There were not more than
25 persons, including the brother, mar
ry Biddle. that accompanied the pooies
to the grave. 1t was expected the cenl-
etery would be crowded by curious per-
sens and a large force of police was
on hand to preserve order.
Frank James, the once famous out
law. was in the city and discussed the
escape of the Biddle brothers and the
fearful result.
"Civinr every man his dues, 1T must
he said that the boys were brave" said
I,mes. "a better display of courage
snd grit could not be given. They de-
serve no sympathy. for the original
crime they committed was terrible
one. but their escape was cunninSiy
laid plan and daringly carried out
The escape and capture is one OF the
most thrilling tales l have ever heard.
1t recalls to my mind two famous at
fairs, the Molly Mcguire murders in
central Pennsylvania and the MARROW
boys in Texas 80 years ago. The lat
ter were arrested at Graham, Tex, Tor
horse stealing, then a crime worse than
murder. While shackled and lying
helpless on the ground crowds of in
furiate men showed revolvers in their
faces.
Suddenly one brother reached out,
grabbed a weapon and shot tormentor
dead The crowd was daZed by the act,
and five more shots followed from the
;nanacled hand. Each shot killed. Then
the prisoners secured Winchesters and
held the gang at bay. One brother cut
off the others foot to release him. They
escaped then, but were afterwards cap
tured. but were indicated. The Molly
Mcguire murders were equally sensa-
tional."
dispatch from Butler, Pa, says
Mrs. Soffel spent a bad night and she
is quite feverish. She took no nOurish-
ment, today, but while her condition
is not so favorable her recovery is
hoped for by her physicians. 1t will be
several days before she can be removed
to Pittsburg.

ming between this port and the Ha-
waiian Islands. The Union Oil Com
pany of California is the promoter of the
project. Two vessels are building and
negotiations are pending for the con-
struction of three steamers.

She will be capable of transporting H.
500 barrels of oil. She will be launched
the latter part of May.
The barkentine is the only sailing
vessel to be constructed for the Union
Oil Company. -Four steamers will be
built. The Union Iron Works has the
contract for an oil-tank steamer with
capacity for 10000 barrels. She will
burn oil as fuel. But the company in
tends to add to it's fleet one of the larg-
est tank steamers plying in the trade.
Negotiations are pending for the con-
struction of a steamer which will car
ry 41,OOO barrels of Oil Two other

been the complaints of people riding
along the Waikiki road, especially in
the evenings, when an odor of great

Just what the Chinese will do with
their ducks remains to be seen. There
are several thousands of them to be

DUCKS HARD TIMES TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Yesterdays games again saw some
excellent tennis. the narrowing down
of the struggle TO the few fringing out
some desperate fights. The Elston-
Adams draw has made the tournament
unusually exciting at this early stage
and the fight yesterday afternoon was
a beautiful one The placing of both
players was admirable and the points
on both sides well earned. Illston fully
earned his privilege to play in the
sem-hnals today. Cunha defeated
Ross after a very close game winning
on form /. $. Dillingham; fought hard
for his sets with King. Three previous
champions are now in the list of eight
players for today and will probably be
still in the running for the semi-tinals.
Roth should win from Cunha if he can
last. His form is the better of the two
and his service much the stronger, pro-
vided he can get on it, which is doubt
full in the light of the scant practice
that he has put in since the last tour
nament. on the present showing made
the tournament should narrow down to
Elston and Roth at the end with Dill
lingham always a close possibility.
The results to date and this after
Moons games are as follows:

All SAM NOT HURT.

A cousin of All Yick, the pantryman
aboard the steamer Helene, made a
correction regarding the part in which
All Yick took in the recent fight on the
Helene, with All Sam, the steward.
According to the first report, the men
fought with knives and All Sam was so
badly injured that he had to go to the
hospital. According to the latest ac-
count, Yick did not have a knife at all,
but was attacked by All Sam who had
a knife. In the scuffle, Yick was cut
on the neck and hand but was not bad
ly enough injured, to have to go to the
hospital. Both men resumed their
work on the vessel
