CoRoNER'S JURY
Charges Anglin With the
Willful Murder Of Hopper.


The killing of George Hopper, a
negro, as noticed in our issue of
Tuesday, was Investigated by cor
oner's jury last Monday. The YER
dict, given below, says that Anglin
was not justified in shooting and
charges him with wilful murder.
Hopper was being taken to.a ply
sician for treatment but died on the
way. Anglin escaped and at this
writing is at large. The evidence
given to the jury does not reveal
any provocation whatever on the
part of Hopper. There was a big
crowd Of negroes in the woods, says
one of the witnesses, and half adozen
white men were present. Drinking
and gambling were the 'order of ex-
ercises," with the usual results of
these country gatherings of the col
ored population. The killing took
place within half mile of the Ten
nessee line, and Anglin had no
trouble getting away.
CORONER'S JURY.
eve, the jury, summoned by Cor
oner Allensworth to look into the
cause of the death of George Hopper
find from the evidence that he came
to his death from a pistol shot in the
hands of Dave Anglin, the ball TAX
ing effect in the right side near his
navel. We further find that the
weapon used was a,.38-caliber. Ang-
lin was not justified in said shooting,
and we charge him with willful
murder.

CLAIM WAR RECORD
IS BOLSTERED ONE
Attack Made on Capt. Coney,
Candidate for Command
er-in-Chief of G. A. R.
is MUCH BITTER FEELING
LADIES OF THE G. A. r. ARE ALSO
HAVING TROUBLE OVER THE
CANDIDACY OF MRS. LoBDELL
FOR PRESIDENT.
IS MUCH BITTER FEELING
Publishers Press1

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. IA
Kansas delegates to the national en-
campment of the G.. A. r. are highly
indignant at the savage and determin-
ed attack that is being made upon the
war record Of Captain p II. Coney, OF
Topeka, their candidate for comman-
der in chief this year. The attack
is in the form of printed statement
which is being circulated among the
veterans here and it has injected
highly unpleasant personal element
into the contest for the office and
threatens to create no end Of bitter
ness before the encampment is end
ed.
The claim, in brief, is that the army
record claimed for Captain Coney by
himself and friends is spurious and
that while he claims to have been
with his regiment, the One Hundred
and Eleventh New York, at the bat
ties of Gettysburg and Spottsylvania
the facts in the case are that he did
not enlist until almost nine months
after Gettysburg had been fought, and
was in the hospital at the time of the
SpOttsylvania engagement.
This charge is, Of course, repelled
by the friends of Coney, but it may
interfere with his campaign for the
position of commander-in-chief.
Bitter strife has broken out in the
ranks of the Minnesota delegation to
the national convention of Ladies Of
the 6. A r, and between some of the
partisans it has reached the non
speaking as they pass stage, while
less strenuous members are trying To
smooth the affair over before there is
a chance to bring out q test on the
floor of the convention Thursday, the
point at issue being whether it is fit
ting for Minnesota, hostess Of the
convention, to come before the con-
yention with a candidate for the ma
tional presidency.
A goodly portion Of the state dele
CATION holds that Mrs. Julia Z. F. Lob
dell, is a proper person for the office,
while her opponents are arguing We
hementIy that for her to put forward
as a candidate would be to violate
the usages OF hospitality.

New York, Aug. 14.-Following the
arrest of Chief Inspector William
Mayberry and two of his assistants in
the employ of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company this afternoon, the
road shut off all traffic to Coney Is
land on it's surface car lines. taking
the position that this was the only
course to pursue. to stop riOting. The
elevated and the express trains were
not stopped.
The arrests of the inspectors were
on warrants procured from Magis-
trate Dooley in the Adams Street po-
lice court, by Assistant Mayberry. In
ney Smith. Besides Maybcrry, In
spectors Charles Edwards and Thorn
as DUNCAN were arrested. They
were taken to the Adams street
court and arraigned on charges of
assault, made by dozen complain
ants. The railway companies EN-
ployes were represented by attorneys
from its claim department and after
entering pleas of not guilty they were
admitted to bail for appeara'l'e later.
The action of the company in sus
pending traffic, while in the nature OF
a bluff" caused great inconvenience
to the public who live along the lines
traversed by the trolley system and
which are not touched by the elcVat
cd lines. Cars were run only tC
Prospect Park and Greenwood Gene
terry Residents of the thiCkly set
tied sections beyond those points
were left without trolley service
Thousands Of men and women, tired
out after day of hard work in city
shops and offices. were compelled tC
walk. some for miles, from the points
at which the trolleys stopped or from
the elevated lines.
The management is now trying to
inconvenience the greatest number OF
people possible in the hope that the
clamor for a resumption of service
will overcome the protest against the
charge of ten cents for a ride to Co
ney Island The decision to cease
operating cars was helped along by
the announcement of Sheriff Flaherty
of Brooklyn. that he intended to pro
tect the people of Brooklyn.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Henry H.
Lippart, a iobber of Milwaukee and
Chicago, has filed with the acting
secretary of war a protest against
the awarding by Quartermaster Gen
eral Humphrey of the contract for
furnishing forty thousand blankets
for the army to the American Wool
en- Company. The contract. involves
about 100000 and Lippart claims
that his bid was lower than that Of
the American WOOlen company by
nearly s.. 900 Quart ermaSter General
Humphrey this morning received a
telegram from Mr.. LipDart's attOr-
neys in Chicago demanding the rea-
son for what is termed the rank in
Justice" in not awarding the con-
tract TO the lowest bidder.
In his reply to this protest General
Humphrey declared that LiDDart in
the first place failed to comply with
the specifications contained in the
proposals sent out by the quarter
masters department in that he does
not state when he submitted his bid
who would manufacture the blankets.
General Humphrey furthermore de-
Clared that the experience which
the war department had previously
had with Lippart's contracts was not
satisfactory. 1t is believed at the
war department that had Lippart
been awarded the contract he would
have purchased the blankets from
various small manufacturers in Wis
consin. Illinois and Indiana, and If
this was not satisfactory he promised
to purchase a mill at New Albany,
Ind. and manufacture his own blan-
kets It is claimed. however, that this
mill only has eighteen looms and is
not equipped to meet the require,
ments of the contract.
General Humphrey stated today
that the dealings in the war depart
ment with Lippart had not been sat
isfactory and that therefore despite
the fact that his bid was lower than
the Others, it had been decided not to
award him the contract.
Lippart contends that the Ameri-
can Wooden Company is trust and
that il was because of favoritism this
concern was given the contract. He
declares that he has no complaint
against General Humphrey however
but that he intends to fight the mat
ter out with the secretary OF war.
