Herkimer. N Y. Nov. 19-The taking
OF evidence in the Gillette trial was be-
gun to-day, and twenty-one witnesses
were examined during. the two long ses-
sions Seldom has such a dense crowd
Of curious sensatiOn-hUntng persons as
sembled in a court Of law.
In the morning, when the young defen-
dant was brought over from the jail to
the courthouse across the street. he was
met by a crowd. He was met by another
crowd when he got inside In the morn
ing the court room was filled. but in the
afternoon the curiosity hunters and seek
ers after thrills, gathered in numbers that
made the attendance at the morning ses-
sion comparatively small
The prisoner faced the crowd, that Ger
tain was not friendly, with the same ap-
parent composure which had marked his
attitude ever since the beginning of the
trial. There were four baliffs provided
to maintain order in the crowd, and they
had their hands full
Sensation Lovers Disappointed.
When the afternoon session was over
the crowd waited outside the court room
TO see the prisoner led back to the jail
The testimony itself to-day was not
sensational enough 10 warrant the trouble
Of most spectators TO be present. Aside
from the appearance Of the father Of the
dead girl on the stand, there was nothing
Of the morbid sensation that the crowd
had evidently been led 70 expect.
The prosecution spent the day taking
the evidence that II hopes TO elaborate
fR Of p -fr~
one witnesses came from Cortland and
South AtseHc and were called to prove
that Gillette was friends with the Brown
girl at the factory, and saw her twice a
week but did not appear with her in
public.
The dead girls father was the first
witness. He told of meeting Gillette in
Cortland once when he was on a visir TO
his daughter. Grace, and said that this
was the only time he had ever seen him.
until the man was captured after her
death. He told Of her visit TO South
Otselic before she left for the North
Woods. and said that when she went
away he drove her to town, carrying with
them a small iron trunk.
The only sign that the old man gave
OF breaking down was when the prose-
cutor asked him If his daughter was
known by any other name than that OF
Grace.
Father WeePs on stand.
Yes" he said, we called her Billy,
Billy Brown" He cholsed and the tears
came TO his eyes. The prisoner. too, was
affected and actually shed tears.
Mrs. Ada Hawley. the married sister
of the dead girl, testified that while
Grace Brown was living at her house in
Cortland, Gillette came 10 see her twice
d week.
The rest of the morning session was
taken up by testimony Of fellow en-
ployes in the Gillette Skirt Factory. who
told of the attentions Gillette paid 70
Grace Brown during working hours.
Most Of the afternoon session was oc-
cupied by the Identification Of letters
that had been found in Gilette's desk
and Grace Browns trunk after the girls
death. These viii probably be pat in
evidence tomorrow. and are likely TO
produce the first sensation OF the trial

How Nigel Chased the Red Ferret
I is bold and fiery words found their echo in the
brave rough hearts around him. There was
deep-chested shout from both archers and
seamen. Even Awkward sat up, with wan smile
upon his green face.
But Cock Badding shook his head. Il have
never met the who could lead where l would
not follow" said he; but by Saint Leonard! this
is mad business and l should be fool If 1 were

master, that the sbiiff hold only five, though
you load her to the waters edge. If there is
a man yonder, there are fourteen, and you have to
climb their side from the boat. What chance
would you gain? Your boat stove and you in

mine goes on such FOOLS GRAND, and SO l swear!"
Then, Master Badding, l must the loan
of your skff for by Saint Paul! the good Lord

else will come then l will go alone"
The shiprnan smiled at the words; but the smile
died away from his lips when Nigel, with features
set like ivory and eyes hard steel, pulled on
the rope so to bring the skif under the counter

FIRST ACCIDENT.
Yard Master of the L. & N.
Shot by a Torpedo.

Yesterday morning about8 o'clock
Yard Master E. T. Cofer was shot
through the calf of his right leg by
the discharge OF a torpedo. The
torpedo was of the kind used by
trainmen and was placed on, the
track by some boys who were out to
enjoy the glorious Fourth. 1t is not
known how the boys got hold of the
torpedo. Not knowing the danger
to themselves or others in placing
the torpedo on the track, they just
did it for fun and to see the thing
go off," When the engine came
slowly up the track the yard master,
who was near the torpedo but did
not know of his danger, received the
matter projected by the discharge of
the torpedo in the calf of his leg.
The matter bored a large hole
through the leg and Mr.. Golfer is
suffering greatly from the wound.
Medical aid was promptly summoned
and the wound dressed. Mr.. Cofer
will have to remain at home for sew
erai weeks before he will be able to
be out again.

HONOR OF JIM cABANIss
Mrs. Emily B. Perry Enter.
tains Old Musical Club.

The musical reception given by
Miss Emily B. Perry Friday evening
in honor Of Mr.. Jas. Y. Cabaniss, Of
Evansville, Ind, proved to be a
thoroughly enjoyable affair. In 1882
when Mr.. Cabaniss lived in this city
he was at the head of a musical club
that included all Of the best singers
in this city. The club used to meet
every week, often at Miss Perry's,
and sung the popular airs Of the day
The club has long since been dis
banded, but many of its members
are still here, though some of them
are a little older than they were
twenty-four years ago. The meet
ing Friday night was intended to be
a reunion of the club members and
few other friends of Miss Perry.
The evening was delightful one.
Mr.. Cabaniss has changed but little
by the lapse of years and he sang
with old-time gusto a dozen or more
of songs that used to be sung. Miss
Perry has carefully preserved the
same music the club formerly used
and the choruses included several Of
the former singers.
The guests present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailey Waller, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. C. Underwood, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. M. Meacham; Mesdames
Susie Sites, Lizzie Gish Sergeant,
Sallie Richards, Lizzie Waller Chat
ten, J. H. Anderson, C. H. Dietrich,
E. P. Russell, Geo. Kolb; Misses
Mary Mcpherson, Lucy Whitlock;
Mrs. Stuart and Mrs. Kate Henry.
Refreshments were served, con-
sisting of ices, cakes, fruit, etc. The
guests did not dispense until after
IL o'clock, when my Old Kentucky
Home" was sung by all.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in

cal treatment. pronounced it incura-

The way to command a good

the principle adopted by an Ohio
Justice Of the peace. This gentle
man, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger, has missed
his calling. Given his opportunity,
he would soon make a name
among the humorists. An attor-
ney in a neighbering city wrote to
him to inquire about a judgment
that had been entered against a
client. He inclosed a stamp for
reply. Several days later he re,
ceived a postal card bearing this
message. "Your inquiry received.

WERE TRAPPED IN A SEWER
Refugees Narrowly Escape Being
Drowned When in Flight from
Russians at Siege.

We heard above us a dull, rum
bling noise as from the wheels of
vehicle and the heavy tread of
great masses of men, from which
we concluded that the Prussians
were now entering the fortress
and occupying the gates and the
ramparts, says an extract from
"Reminiscences of a Long Life"
in McClure's Magazine. We
also heard the striking of
a church clock which gave
the hour, our bench being
near one of the manholes,
so hat the sound of the upper
world reached US without much
difficulty. About nine O'clock in
the evening it began to rain, so
heavily that we could clearly hear
the splashing of the water as ii
poured down. At first il seemed
to us that the rainstOrm would be
favorable to our plan nof escape.
But before long the matter ap
peared in a different light. We
felt that the water was rising in
our sewer and soon it began to
shoot through it with great We
hemence like a mountain stream.
After awhile it flooded the bench
upon which we were sitting and
reached up to our chests. We
also perceived living creatures
which suddenly, with great actiy-
ity, rushed and crawled around us.
They were, undoubtedly, rats.
"We have to get out" ! said to
my companions, "or we shall be
drowned" We left our bench and
pushed forward. had hardly adj
vanced a few steps when in the
darkness | ran my head against 4
hard object. | touched it and dis
covered that the obstacle was an
iron railing. At once the thought
came to me that this railing had
been put there for the purpose OF
cutting off in time of siege com
municatiOn between the interior
of the town and the outside
through the sewer. This thought
which | communicated at once tC
my companions, brought us al
most to despair. But when ]
grasped the railing with bOtI
hands, as a prisoner may some
times shake the iron rods of his
dungeon window, | noticed thai
it could be moved a little, and
further examination proved tina.
it did not reach quite down TO tn,
bottom, but left a free space o.
about two feet. Probably tn,
railing was so arranged that i
could be pulled up or let down, 81
that the sewer might be opened
for purposes of cleansing anC
then shut again.
