DUNCAN WAS ACQUITTED.
Not Guilty of FeIoniousIy Shooting
Bruce Head.

Bruce Head.
Pittsburg, Feb. 21.-Dr. Ellis Dun
can of Louisville, Ky, was found not
guilty of the charge of shooting Bruce
Head with felonious intent. The jury
returned a sealed verdict last night,
after being out four hours, and when
court opened at $50 o'clock this morn
ing it was read by Judge Frazier DR..
Duncan was at once discharged from
custody.
That the verdict was a popular one
was shown by the fact that when the
announcement was made that the de-
PENDANT had been acquitted it was
greeted with cheers, and a loud clap
ping of hands. This was quickly sup
pressed by the court officials.
DR.. Duncan was the recipient of
many congratulations from friends and
strangers. He had a smile on his face
and showed an air of INTENSE relief
that the ordeal was over. He said he
would not discuss his family affairs,
and intended to pursue the same pol
icy of silence that he had always main
tanned, except when compelled to tes-
tify.
He will leave for home tonight.

the firemen connected with the Sea-

Mary H. Grim was granted judg-

against the National Union, a bene-

amounting to s1710 so. The judgment
was granted on an insurance policy

Der of the National Union, died jan
uary 8, 1899. The beneficial order re-
fused to pay his widow the $4,000 COM
ing to her on the policy which he had
taken out. The order claimed at the
time that sufficient proof of Grirn's
demise was not given them to warrant
the paying of the amount prescribed in
the policy. Mrs. Grim paid the dues
each month after her husbands death
to prevent her claim becoming invalid.
Sufficient proof was produced and the
court granted the woman the full
amount of the policy with interest and

Ambition OF enc Nflkado.

Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan has
caused the editors of the Almanach de
Gotha to be approached with a view to
securing the inclusion of his name and
of his house in part L of the publica-
t. in question among the other
sovereign families of civilized coun-
tries. Both he and his Government
resent the fact that whereas the Turk
ish Sultan should find a place in part
1. along with the monarchs of Ger
many. Russia, Italy. ,ngland. Austro-
Hungary, etc, the. Emperor of Japan
should be relegated to the tail end Of
the work, with the Emperor of China,
the Shah of Persia and other poten-
tates of Asia and Africa, whom he re-
CARDS as immeasurably inferior to
himself in point of civilization and en-
lightenment The Mikado seems to
feel that this exclusion from the list
of sovereigns in part 1 of the Alma
mach de Gotha has something to do
with the failure of European courts to
treat him on the same footing as them
as regards the matter
of court mourning and messages of
congratulation and of coincidence on the
occasion of births, marriages and
deaths, resp pectively.-Baltimor Amer
