AN ANCIENT LANDMARK GONE.
Old Oak III the Capitol Square Falls
as Though Stricken With ARo-
DlcXy.

About half-past nine o'clock yes
jerday morning one Of the many large
oaks in the capitol grounds fell sud
denly, without apparent reasOnl to
the ground. The crash startled, the
yarious officials in the building and
greatly frightened one or two pasSers-
by through the square. There was
little, if any, breeze at the time that
the tree crashed to the ground and
the spectacle of it's collapse was a
very strange one. At first it seemed
/ NerItable freak Of nature, as the
tree was fully three and a half feet in
diameter and seVenty-fiVe feet high
Investigation showed. however, that
not only was the trunk at the base
hollow and rotten, but most of the
more tenacious of the roots had died
md rotted. Indeed, after looking at
the exposed roots the mystery is not
chat it should have fallen, but that the
tree has lasted thus long. There was
scarcely d root which took hold for a
lepth of more than two feet in the
ground
The tree stood just to the south of
the west porch of the capitol and al
most west of the windows of the exec
utive offices. 1t was one of the oldest
and most shapely trees in the grounds
and it's lost viii detract much from
4 young and beautiful maple was
struck and literally stripped of it's
limbs.
Yesterday afternoon a force of men
had already started on the work of
cutting up and removing the fallen
forest giant. 1T came down, said one
who saw it, like a man who has had
an apopleptic stroke.
The question that arises from an in
spection of the tree is, how many
others of the large oaks that stud the
square and oVerhang the various
walks are liable through age to SINH
lar accident. If such a thing be pos
sible every large oak in the grounds
should be tested, and if found to be
unsafe, promptly cut down. Imme-
1iately under the oak in question were
one or two seats that were the most
popular in the square. Had the
morning not been q moist and disa-
creeablc one, there is every probable
ity that these seats would have been
occupied and that great personal in
Jury or death would have resulted
from the fall of the oak.

charged with murder in the first degree of
Elizabeth Gillespie on Dec. s last, called
soon after the opening of the March term of
court this morning.
The defendants each asked leave to with
draw their former plea of not guilty, which
was granted over the States objection. De-
PENDANTS then each filed a plea in abate-
ment of the proceedings, alleging improper
conduct and actions before the grand jury.
Demurrers to these pleas were filed, and
the afternoon taken up in argument. Hon.
+. M. Griffith, of Vevay, Ind, and Miss
Cynthia Coles are the only attorneys repre-
senting the defendants. Captain John B.
Coles, principal attorney at the first hear
ing following the indictments, is still quite
i'll, and his connection with the case has
virtually ceased. Judge Downey will de-
eide the abatement question in the morn
ing. 1t is understood tonight that contin-
uance will then be asked by part, at least,
of the defendants. James Gillespie is said
to be very anxious for an immediate trial
He was brought into court to-day, and
plainly shows the effect of his incarcera-
ton since December. The lack Of interest
taken in the proceedings to-day is being
commented upon this evening. Very few
people were in attendance on court, and
aside from newspaper representatives, few
strangers were in town.

by Professor Hayes that the wisp he ex-
amined was pulled by Miss Schafer from
her assailant's head in the struggle. Prose
cutor Miller states that three days will be
required for the grand jury to complete its
labor.
Counsel for the accused have given notice
that, should Mcdonald be indicted they
will demand an immediate trial and will
ask for no change of venue.
Judge Wilson stated to the Journal tina
it would be almost impossible to try NC
Donald this term owing to the crowded
condition of the docket. Prosecutor Miller
that ten days would be required to try the
case.
As McDonald's attorneys will demand
immediate trial, the state must make some
provision to accord the prisoner this privi-
lege.
