 we need to stir the voters up," said Major Robinson, and I am more than willing to go on the stump and do my part in the campaign.
 A good report from the Fourth Dis trict was made by Congressman Bowie who said that he was willing to take the stump for the Democratic nomi- nees and was at the service of the committee
 A similar report was made from the Eighth District by Hon. w. F.. Skeggs, Mir Skeggs informed the committee that he had been authorized by Con- gressman William Richardson to vol unteer his services on the stump.

 At the close of the meeting Chairman Smith said:

State and arguments Were to br made by Attorney General Ellis and Mir Phelps for the prosecution.
 Messrs. Kline and Troup were to pre- sent the defense to the jury. IL was estimated this argument would con- sume the balance of the day.
 Reviewing the documentary evidence tc the jury. Mir. David said il was no. disputed by any one that the Standard oil Trust actually existed in 1882. The State now contends that this same rust crly under another Eame. still exists He mentioned the various local con- panies now doing business in the State saying they were members of the oris inal trust.
 The people in this case" said Mir David. "claim that the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey now owns the stock of these subsidiary companies eech one dependent uron the other and right now doing business among us. We have shown that these same gentlemen-John D. Rockefeller, Will liam Rockefeller. Flagler, Archbold Rcgers-are today the heads of thesa companies. These men were of the nine original trustees in the trust"

LEE EXTOLS MRS. DAVIS.
Commander of Confederate Veterans
 Issues nm Order


 Issues an Order. Mobile. Ala, Oct. 16.-William E.. Mickle. adjutant general and chief of stan of the United Confederate Vet erans. arrived in the city last night from New Orleans and immediately on hearing the news of the death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. issued the fol. lowing order:
 General Order No 57.
 First-With heart full of grief then general commanding announces to his beloved comrades the death of Mrs. Varina Jefferson Ls4vis, whica occurred in the city of New York Tuesday night. she being at the time of her death over eighty years of age.
 Thus passes away another of our dis tinguished Confederates; and the bonds which connected the people of the South with the household of our first and only President have wholly sever ed with the exception of one link yet remaining. Mrs. Davis was such a part of the people of this section. partici- pating in their griefs and sorrows. and rejoicing in their prosperity and happi- ness and was for many years intl- mately associated with them in every way. that an extended notice is unnec- essary and out of place. She was in every sense of the South Southern. and her earnest wish was to live and die among the people she loped SO well. and what she suffered that i'll health com pelled her to take up her residence among strangers, far from her own people. Is known only to those who were intimate with her, and though denied the pleasure of being with them in body. she was ever present in spirit, and delighted in dwelling upon the he- roic deeds of our incomparable armies.
 As an author. as a wife. as a mother. as a patriot, as a Southern woman. she attained high eminence in the esti- nation of the world; and died. full of years and of honors. respected by all. and beloved by tho survivors of the Confederate armies everywhere.
 2. In order that proper respect may be paid by this federation to this patriotic and illustrious woman. Major General Theodore s. Garnett. com manding the Virginia division of the United Confederate Veterans. is hereby detailed to see that suitable arrange ments are made to carry out the in- tentions of this order. He Is to use his best judgement as to the course to fol- low.
 By command of stephen D. Lee. Gen.
 eral Commanding.

 Chief of Staff.

 The Drake committee during it's in vestigations brought out the personal collection by county treasurers of n- terests on public funds deposited in banks.
 Because of the criticism aroused, half a dozen former treasurers paid voluntarily into the county treasury a total of S21+.0OO which they estimat ed they had thus received. Other mat ters brought out affected the sale of turn pike roads to the county, in which large commissions were paid for Jeposing of the roads.
 The case which was carried to the supreme court was a dispute over rent nut if followed favorable action on the rerusal of Cashier Davis of the First National Bank, to disclose what he considered to be the confidential busi- ness matters of depositors.

At the Republican city council caucuses
last evening only 7SO votes were cast and
at least one surprised was received by the
machine. which had selected candidate
whom the voters refused TO approve.
The principal contest came In the Sec
ond ward. where Councilman Edward &.
Darling was defeated. lA-73. by William
a. Schoheld. a manufacturing jeweler.
Mr.. Darling is a member OF the ward
committee and could have had a vote IN
placing his own name on the ticket.
This method OF making up tickets has
been vigorously objected TO by the Repuo-
lican voters of the ward, and last night 3
protest. II Is expected, will result In the
ward committee paying more attention to
the wishes OF the voters hereafter.
The opposition was led by Hon. Thomas
w. Bricknell, who expressed himself Wig
orously as follows: 1.-THE Second ward Is
one OF the richest wards In the city In
property The ward and city commit
tees are offices for keeping the interests
OF the party alive. IL does not appear
right that the ward or city committee
should elect one Of it's members TO serve
for office in the power Of the taxpayer
Il want 10 submit this as an opinion OF
the voters here, that any member or the
ward or city committee should not be ELL
gible TO any public office"
William Machine Politician Bowen,
member OF Braytons general assembly
and candidate for reelection. took up the
cudges in behalf OF Mr.. Darling, but
could not stem the tide that had set In
against the methods and nominee OF the
machine.
AS II trouble had been expected, there
were no less than three policemen pres

In the Ninth ward former Governor
Charles Dean KimbaN, who had been
championng the cause OF John 4. FARMS
worth for the common council, had a
lemon handed 20 him In the form or be-
ing excluded from participation In the
caucus. He was indignant, of course; but,
under the Brayton caucus law, which was
drawn up by his Republican friends he
was helpless.
His name had been scratched from the
real estate voting list and put on the
registry list; and he contended that IL
must have been a mistake, refusing ap-
